Love them! :D
Okay, here's Chapter 9!
Enjoy!

Aruto smiled, he was happy that Ikuto didn't give up on Amu.

"See! She is royalty. Also she can feel a pea under 40 mattresses maybe even more." Ikuto proved. "I'd much rather marry her."

"I'm sorry, son. We don't know where she is." Aruto shook his head in a sad manner.

"But they were suppose to arrive today. I have a letter." Ikuto stated.

"How do you know it wasn't one of the contestants that lost isn't trying to trick you for revenge?" Aruto questioned.

Ikuto sighed sadly in defeat and walked out.

Aruto smirked evilly and laughed.

"I love teasing them!" Aruto chuckled.

. : . With the Girls . : .

Amu and Rima had just heard the shelf click shut when there was a big bang in the other room. They looked at each other.

"Ikuto." They giggled in unison before running to catch up with Utau.

"Wait!" Amu yelled breathlessly.

Utau was about to up the door in front of her when she looked behind her and saw Rima on Amu's back. Amu was gasping for air.

"What are you doing, Rima?" Utau asked as Rima crawled off Amu's back.

"I got tired." Rima stated matter-of-factly. Both Utau and Amu rolled their eyes.

"Well, we're here if that counts for anything." Utau said to Amu and opened the door she had her hand on.

Utau gave a little push and the door flew open, giving the maid in the room a heart attack.

"This is the where the maid sleep, and as you can see they are not mistreated." Utau said trying to hold back her laughter.

"No one in this room is allowed to mention our arrival to the castle to Ikuto." Rima stated with a glare to get the point across. Everyone nodded.

"Tomoyo! Michiyo!" Utau called. Two maids came out. They looked identical, same height, same brunette hair colour, but their eye colour was different.

"Tomoyo at your service." Tomoyo said and bowed. She had lavender coloured eyes.

"I'm Michiyo!" the one with bright yellow eyes said clapping her hands together once.

"These girl will get you ready, introduce you to Ikuto, and tell you the basics of being a personal maid." Utau told Amu.

"Don't I just do as he says?" Amu asked.

"Look at that you're already half way there!" Michiyo said pulling Amu into a room.

Amu looked at Utau and Rima and saw they were laughing and waving goodbye. Amu sighed figuring the situation couldn't get any worse and followed the maids into a changing room big enough for five people comfortably. They handed Amu a short maid outfit.

"When you're done go into that room." Tomoyo said pointing to a door across the room they were standing in.

Amu changed and blushed. The uniform was rather short.

"Ikuto is such a pervert." Amu said to herself as she looked into the mirror.

"If he knew this was me I wonder how he would react?" Amu asked herself.

The uniform was standard black and white, but her uniform, she realized when she saw Tomoyo and Michiyo, was a hell of a lot shorter.

"Why is my outfit so much shorter than yours?" Amu asked when she entered the room and sat in a chair Michiyo was pointing to.

"Ikuto said if anyone wanted to be his maid they had to wear that." Tomoyo stated.

"Because everyone, at the time, wanted to be his personal maid. However, they don't now." Michiyo finished.

"Because of the uniform, right?" Amu clarified. The maids nodded.

Tomoyo was about to pick up scissors, when Amu freaked out.

"Can't I just wear a wig?" Amu asked, not liking the idea of cutting her hair.

"Yes." Tomoyo said, proceed to cut Amu's hair.

Amu shot up out of her seat and turned around.

"I want to wear a wig!" Amu demanded.

Michiyo and Tomoyo were shocked at her outburst, laughed and left to get supplies. Amu sighed and fell back into the chair. Tomoyo came back with a box labeled 'Wigs', while Michiyo came in with a much smaller bow labeled 'Contacts'.

"Alright! Let's get started." Michiyo said as they put their boxes down on tables.

"Which wig do you want?" Tomoyo said holding up two wigs. One was shoulder length and black with a navy blue peek-a-boo. The other was waist length and silver with light blue streaks.

"That one." Amu said pointing to the second one.

Tomoyo smiled and put in on after tying Amu's current hair up.

"Now my turn!" Michiyo said setting three boxes in front of Amu.

"Do you want light green, light blue or white coloured eyes?" Michiyo asked, pointing to each box as she said the colour.

"Light Blue." Amu stated. The blue was the same as the one in her hair.

"Alright, now let's go meet Ikuto." Michiyo said after Amu put her contacts in.

"He should be waiting." They said in unison.

"Aruto informed him." Tomoyo said as they reached Ikuto's bedroom doors.

They stood in front of two large oak doors, with gold handles. Tomoyo and Michiyo knocked twice and stepped back.

"What!" an irritated voice snapped.

"Your new personal maid is here." Tomoyo yelled back.

"So someone actual put on- Amu" Ikuto said mid sentence staring at Amu.

"No. This is Airi." Tomoyo said.

"Airi, this is Ikuto." Michiyo finished.

Ikuto's excited eyes turned to sad ones. Amu wanted to tell him everything, but what Aruto said was in her head so she stopped herself.

"Now, Ikuto-sama, you can't ask her do to anything that would be considered sexual and Airi, you to do bring him his meals should he refuse to eat with his parents." Tomoyo said. Then Michiyo and Tomoyo waved goodbye and excused themselves.

"Are you related to Amu?" Ikuto asked Airi. Airi stiffened.

"No, Ikuto-sama." Airi said sweetly and smiled.

"You're right. Amu would never talk in that sweet voice because she is always trying to act tough." Ikuto chuckled and turned around and walked into his room followed by a fuming Airi.

. : . Two Days Before Ikuto's Wedding . : .

Amu has been Ikuto's maid for two week disguised as Airi, his personal maid. At the moment she was helping Ikuto get dressed for the diner his parents planned with Saaya's 'parents'. There was a knock on the door. Airi stopped what she was doing and opened the door revealing Michiyo. Michiyo smiled and winked at Airi, but Ikuto missed the exchange between the girls.

"It's weird seeing you without your twin, Michiyo." Ikuto said.

"Whatever, Souko-sama would like you in the dining hall immediately because Midori-sama is here." Michiyo bowed and excused herself.

Ikuto grumbled something about not wanting to go and then dragged Airi behind him down the hall. When they were in front of the dining hall Ikuto dropped her wrist and walked in with Airi following closely behind. Tsumugu gasped because he would recognize his 'little sparrow' anywhere and even if she was wearing a wig. Ikuto thought he was gasping at him and rolled his eyes, but Tsumugu ran right passed him and tackled Airi in a hug. Ikuto stood there bewildered.

"Tsumugu, that's not her." Midori said as she led Airi away with Souko joining them.

Ikuto wasn't paying any attention as he walked away from the group and sat on the window staring at the sky.

Souko, Midori, and Airi were half down the hall when Hisae appeared in front of them smiling.

"I'll take it from here." Hisae said taking Airi's hand and walked away.

Souko and Midori nodded and walked back to the dining hall.

"We're going to find you a dress to wear at tomorrow's engagement dinner." Hisae said.

When they were inside the room Airi gasped it was identical to Hisae's secret room.

"You know, Amu, oh sorry. Airi. I told the queen what really happened years ago." Hisae told her.

"Yeah, I know Utau told me." Airi said.

"Well, even though Saaya is my daughter. You feel more like my daughter, so I'm leaving all my dresses to you." Hisae smiled at Airi's reaction.

"Really!" Airi exclaimed. She was very happy to hear both things from Hisae. She hugged Hisae.

"Well, let's hurry before Ikuto notices you're not there." Hisae said as they hurriedly looked through the dresses.

. : . In the Dining Hall . : .

Souko and Midori returned without Airi but Ikuto didn't notice because he was busy staring out the window thinking about Amu.

The adults were quietly filling in the blanks of each other's story about Saaya, Ikuto, and Amu's incident. When Saaya came into the dining hall wearing a short green dress. When Ikuto saw her he was disgusted she was wearing the shorted dress he had ever seen, well besides his maid uniform which was pretty short too. Now that he was thinking about his maid uniform he realized Airi was nowhere to be found, but ignored it when he saw the look on Saaya's face. Saaya was worried when she saw the parents talking to each other quietly. She didn't have enough money to buy potions' for the adults. She tried her best to think positive thoughts as she walked over to hug Ikuto. However, Midori shot her a glare followed by guard pulling her away from Ikuto.

"What the hell is going on here!" Saaya yelled.

Ikuto was wondering the same thing, but was happy about it. He then remembered that Airi wasn't here and got up to look for her because he had gotten quite fond of her, but he didn't feel like he was betraying Amu, for some reason. It left him confused when he walked out of the dining hall. He was paying any attention when he knocked into someone. They both fell backward on the ground.

"Ouch! Watch where you're going!" A female said.

Ikuto opened his eyes to see who it was.

There you have it, and I think we're almost to the end!
