Amu, kouhaixsempai, TsukiyomiAlikutoMissaWatusi, angelitaramos2102, Angel Lilith, and ikuto381amu All get to attack Tadase with Amaya's Leigh Blossom at good times. Like when he's in church, then everyone will be mad at him thinking he's being disrespectful and he'll go to Hell. ^^

Ikuto: That's a little bit much…I mean Hell? C'mon, Gemma. Even you're not that mean.

Tadase: And people don't go to Hell for sleeping in church…

Well what about If someone blames you for a murder and says "If it's not true he'll deny it." but the thing is you'll be asleep in church so you can't deny it. And somehow we'll bribe the Devil into taking you. And then we can dress you up as a rabbit while you're still knocked out and being dragged to Hell by your bunny ears. ^^

Ikuto: You have put way too much thought into that. I'm kind of scared you'll send me to Hell.

Ah there's the problem Ikuto.

Ikuto: What?

You will either go to Heaven for being hot. Or you'll go to Hell for being…well, hot.

Ikuto: What? Why?

You make people have…ahem impure thoughts… or so I've heard. -whistles-

Ikuto:…

Tadase:…

Edward Cullen:…

I have to um…leave. -Runs out of conveniently placed door, but not before grabbing Edward and running away again- MINE!

Tadase: …I don't have to go to Hell do I?

Ikuto: -shrug-

Amu: Tsukiyomi Gemma does not own Shugo Chara because if she did me and Ikuto would have…wait. What!? -staring at paper- Alright who wrote this filth!?

Ikuto: -Runs out door after Gemma- Please Review!

Art And Ikuto Chapter 11

Amu was sat with Ikuto's head cushioned in her lap, brushing the stray locks of blue out of his eyes. She stared down into his sleeping face in awe. He was so peaceful and clam. His soft breathing was moving strands of hair near his mouth. His amazing midnight eyes, she knew were there behind his eye lids, flickered. His transformation had worn off as soon as his head touched the ground, so now Yoru was rushing around distracting everyone.

"Ikuto ~nya! IKUTO~NYA!"

"He's only asleep there's nothing to worry about." Ran mumbled, shaking her head.

"You don't know that ~nya!"

"Yes I do. I can still see him breathing."

Yoru stared at her as she dusted of her pompoms. "But…but…" He frantically looked around.

"Miki ~Nya!"

Said girl jumped and spun around.

"Back me up!"

Miki just frowned at him then glanced at Ran, who was glaring at Yoru with her pompoms shaking in her hands. "I think Ran's right." She shrugged, then bobbed off towards Amu.

"You…" Yoru growled and crossed his arms. "I'm still worried ~Nya."

"He'll be fine. Ikuto's tough." Ran said in a much softer tone.

Yoru nodded as he stared at Ikuto in Amu's arms.

"Hey, I don't think we've met properly." Ran spun around and came face to face with Amaya.

"Ran, Amu-chan's chara!" She beamed.

"Amaya. Nice to meet you!" She took Ran's outstretched hand and shook it between her finger and thumb. "And you're Ikuto-kun's chara, right?"

Yoru nodded still watching Ikuto's face over Amu's shoulder. "Yoru ~Nya."

Amu felt a little uncomfortable. Not because she was crouching on the floor with her handsome boyfriends head resting against her thighs. Not because three of her friends were all currently unconscious in the early hours of the morning on top of the school. Not because she and Nagi were alone with an X transformed girl they just met. Not even because she was a young thirteen year old out in the dark without the protection of a trusted adult. No. Amu felt uncomfortable because she was sat in an old t-shirt and sweats.

"I think you're overreacting Amu-chan." Miki mused, watching her owner tug at her grey sweats.

Amu ignored her. "The one day my pyjamas are in the wash too…" She muttered.

"You look fine Amu-chan." Nagi reassured her from beside Utau. Amu looked over to him, he was leaning down near Utau's back. "Don't worry about it."

Amu smiled back, not that she believed a word he was saying, before returning her attention to Ikuto. He rolled over so his chest was pressed against the floor and the side of his face was pressed against her legs, so he was facing her stomach. Her face began to burn up in the quickest possible time, along with the rest of her body. She shifted underneath his head in hopes he'd wake up, move at least. No such luck.

Sighing she let her gaze fall on the still sleeping Tadase. Kiseki was glaring daggers at Amaya, who was stood near by scratching the side of her face. Realising Amu was looking at her Amaya shuffled in her place. "Heh…I'm really sorry about this, Amu-chan."

Amu blinked for a moment, then laughed to herself. "Well it did stop them fighting, I guess."

Amaya grinned sheepishly. Then turned to face Tadase. She bit her lip and went down onto her knees. Tadase was sprawled across the roof in a messy manor. Amaya looked him over then stared at Kiseki.

"Who are you?" She asked him, smiling.

"Humph." He crossed his arms and rose high above her head, looking down as he replied. "I'm Kiseki, Tadase's guardian chara."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Amaya." She lifted her pinkie finger, like she first did with Miki, but he stared at it, almost in disgust. Her smiled faltered and she dropped her hand unceremoniously to her side. "Right…" She mumbled.

Miki appeared from behind one of Amaya's black wings, frown comfortably on her face. She shook her head at Kiseki before smiling and alerting Amaya to her presence.

"Amaya-chan, come help Nagi and me wake Utau up." She smiled as she floated round and stopped in front of Kiseki, then she glared over her shoulder. "Kiseki can wake Tadase up by himself."

Amaya looked between the two chara's frowning. "Sure, Miki-chan." Then she got up, brushing off her knees with the palm of her hands.

Amu watched as Amaya patted Utau on the shoulder.

"Utau-chan. Utau-chaaan!"

"Whoever is saying that, tell them to shut it." Amu heard Ikuto groan, his voice muffled by the fabric of her sweats.

"I-Ikuto! Your awake." She sighed. "You can get off my now." She felt a look of relief pass across her face, but it didn't last long. Ikuto wrapped his arms around Amu's waist and dug his face into her stomach.

"I don't want to." He said selfishly into her flat belly. She involuntary shuddered when she felt his lips move against the thin fabric of her top.

"Ikuto!" Amu reached behind her back, trying to untangle his fingers from her baggy black shirt. In response he tightened his grip. "Let go."

"Sound as if you want me to, and I will." He smoothly replied, without missing a beat.

She groaned, and even though he couldn't see her face he just knew that see was glaring at the back of his head.

"You're such a kid."

That made him laugh. "Coming from you?"

"W-well if that's the case, then you're the one dating a kid!" She stuttered, already feeling that she'd regret saying that. And she was right. Damn, sometimes she really hated being right.

Ikuto quickly hugged her tight to his chest and pulled her back, startling her. Somehow Ikuto had ended up lying on the floor as Amu sat on top of him, straddling his hips with hers.

"AH!" Amu put her hands on either side of Ikuto's head and tried to push herself up, but Ikuto was quick to grab her hips and hold her in place.

"Is there something wrong with that?" Amu was just about ready to wipe that smug smirk right off his face when they heard polite coughing. They both looked off to the side and saw Nagi and Amaya helping Utau off the ground, all staring at them, and Tadase a little way off, gawking at Amu and Ikuto.

"I…I…" Amu stammered, trying to push herself off Ikuto. But of course Ikuto wasn't having any of that just yet. He held her hips tightly, but not enough to hurt her.

"G…get off."

"You're the one on top of me, Amu."

She started to struggle so Ikuto chuckled and relished his hold on her hips. He took his chance, as she was straightening up her clothes, to take in her appearance. She was pouting but he knew she was fighting a smile. Light grey sweats hugged her curves then got loose further down her legs. She had on a plain turtle neck black top, that looked quite large on her as it hung off her body. Her pink hair was dishevelled as if she just woke up, her cheeks were dusted with a prominent red and she didn't have any socks or shoes on. Ikuto thought she looked beautiful. He smiled to himself and got up.

"Typical," Everyone but Amu stared at him, as Amu had taken to glaring. "The moment I wake up she dives on me." He crossed him arms and looked smug.

Amu rushed behind Nagi and peered over his shoulder. "I…I didn't! You…you grabbed me!" She pointed an accusing finger at him from behind Nagi, who was grinning and scratching the back of his head.

Ikuto rolled his eyes. "Sure I did, Amu."

"You did!"

He smirked at her before turning his attention to Amaya. "Now then."

She stopped smiling at the bickering couple. "Huh?"

"Just what did you do to us?" Ikuto barked at her.

"Yeah," Utau shook Nagi's hand off her elbow. "Why did we just collapse?"

Amu stepped out in front of Amaya, blocking Utau and Ikuto's view of the girl. "That might have been my fault."

They stopped marching towards Amaya to then stare at Amu.

Utau folded her arms over her chest. "Your fault?"

Amu nodded silently.

She raised an eye brow at her friend. "How?"

Amu grinned and scratched the side of her neck, resting the palm of her hand against it. "I didn't like the fighting…"

Ikuto frowned at her. "What?"

Amaya coughed and put her hand on Amu's forearm, gently moving her put of the way. "She looked really upset and you were all shouting and wouldn't stop, so I…sorry." She stared down at the floor as she rubbed small circles into her shoulder.

Ikuto glowered at the top of her head, but let it go.

"How long were we out for?" Tadase asked, walking up to the rest of the group with Kiseki in his wake.

"Not that long." Nagi told him.

"Around half an hour." Rhythm clarified.

"You knocked us out for half and hour?" Ikuto seethed at Amaya. Amu once again stood in front of her and glared right back at Ikuto.

"You wouldn't stop fighting. She did it to help me."

Ikuto watched as she stood, hands on hips. Honey vs. Midnight…

"Okay, fine." He lifted his arms in front of his face.

Midnight looses.

"Just…never do that again." Ikuto shoved his hands into his pockets and stared into Amaya's grey eyes, sending an unspoken warning. Amaya nodded, holding a small fist over her chest.

"Sorry. I don't know how I did that…"

After everyone had settled down again (and Utau had stopped making snide comments about Tadase snoring), they sat and watched as the sun burst forth through a dark, cloudy shield. Amu sat crossed-legged in the space between Ikuto's legs as he hugged her from behind, resting is head next to hers on her shoulder. Utau was slumped against the rail, yawning. Nagi was sat formally and was talking to Amaya across from him. Tadase was at a loss, he was just sat far behind Amu and Ikuto while Kiseki complained about how rude 'this Amaya girl' could was. Tadase forced himself to be happy for Amu but that made him resent the entire situation more so. Thus making him even more angry with himself. He leaned forward and accidentally caught sight of Amu's face from around Ikuto's shoulder. She was practically glowing. Her eyes were sparkling, and she just looked happier. At ease. Tadase sighed. She had never looked like that when he was alone with her. Sure she had been happy, but Tadase could never make her happy like Ikuto could. Ikuto didn't even have to try. All he had to do was be there, and that narked Tadase no end. How is it that someone against her, someone working in league with the enemy, could make her entire day just by showing up for a few minuets? What did he have that Tadase didn't?

"Stop it…" Tadase whispered to himself.

"Stop what?" He looked up rapidly, seeing Amaya on her feet in front of him. When did she get there?

"N-nothing, Amaya-chan." She brushed off. "Just thinking out loud."

"Oh." She took a seat next to him.

They both sat in silence, watching the sluggish path of the sunrise.

"I know you love her." Amaya stated like a fact.

"What?" Tadase's head snapped his the side to stare at her. "Love who?" As if he didn't know.

Amaya giggled lightly. "Amu-chan, of course."

"I don't."

Amaya sighed wistfully, like she was expecting that from him. "Yes you do, Tadase-kun."

He just looked at her. No trace of emotion on his baffled face.

"I might not have been with all of you that long, but I can tell when someone loves one of their friends." She looked down and pulled at a black thread lining her skirt. "I should know."

Tadase sighed and gazed back up at the lightening sky. The clouds that once occupied the night were quickly diminishing and being pushed out towards the very edge of his view. "It wouldn't matter even if I did. Amu-chan loves Tsukiyomi Ikuto. There's nothing that could change that."

"Do you want to change that?"

"No! No, of course not. She's…" He stared at her as she tried to wriggle free of Ikuto's grasp. She wasn't even really trying. "She's happy."

Amaya nodded. "She looks it."

"Ne, Amaya-chan?"

"Hmm." She yawned.

"Where will you be staying until…your back to normal?"

She froze then slowly dropped her arms. "I…uh, don't know."

Tadase rubbed his chin his the palm of his hand. "Well, I guess if it's not for long then…"

He turned his head and saw her innocent, interested face peering back at him.

"You could stay in the Royal Garden. It's the place we all meet up in school." He explained.

Her child-like face lit up. "Are you sure?"

He nodded and stood up. "Could you please tell everyone the news, and that I've gone home to change."

Amaya also nodded and danced away, but she stopped and called over her shoulder. "Thanks, Tadase-kun!"

He just lifted his hand smiling and watched her twirl her way over to Utau, dressed in a purple top and black pyjama shorts. She pulled her up lightly by her hand and Tadase saw her start talking, Utau didn't really seem to care. She was more interested in slipping back down to the floor and attempting to sleep. Tadase squeezed his eyelids closed and opened them again, trying to rid himself of the stinging feeling, then turned on his heel and walked towards the stairs. Upon finding the door locked he mumbled,

"Kiseki."

And character transformed, gently lowering himself to the ground, apparently unnoticed.

-----

"So you're staying in the royal garden?" Amu asked Amaya, shielding her eyes from the searing light of the sun.

"Aha!"

"Great. We'll see you through school then."

Ikuto frowned. "What about your parents?"

Amaya closed one eye and titled her head, staring off into nothing. "I'll…I'll tell Mama that I'm staying with Papa for a while!"

"But wont they notice if you don't turn up?" Nagi quizzed, getting up from the ground.

She shook her head. "No, they aren't together and don't really talk much." Her voice was quiet and low. "Anyway, I'll ring Mama at around eight, she'll be up for work around then."

Ikuto checked the watch on his wrist from over Amu's head. " Well it's six-thirty now."

Amu almost jumped out of his arms. "S-six thirty?"

"Yeah…"

"Damn!" She pushed his arms from around her and ran straight to the edge of the building. "I've been out all night!" She screamed.

She shouted for Ran and jumped of the edge, landing with both feet secure and on the flat ground.

"I'll be back in half an hour at the royal garden!" At least that's what they all thought she said. She was dashing full speed across the school yard and her voice was trailing along with her.

Everyone watched her until she disappeared from view.

"That was unexpected." Utau muttered.

"Hmm." Amaya agreed.

"Um, I think there might be a problem." Interrupted Nagi. "The garden doors will be locked."

Ikuto sighed exasperatedly. "Well that's easy."

Seeing everyone stare at him, he sighed again and rolled his eyes.

"We break in."

Utau smirked, liking that idea a lot, but Amaya and Nagi shook their heads.

"I don't know what this 'garden' thing is, but I know it's not a very good idea to break in."

"She's right, we can't smash our way through, I mean what would it look like?" Nagi added.

"We wont break anything." Ikuto said. Utau's face dropped, almost into a pout, but she quickly forged it into a scowl. "There's a skylight at the top she can slip through. I just have to bust the lock open." He shrugged like it was nothing. And to him it wasn't, but Tadase would throw a fit if he ever found out about it. And he would find out soon enough. He would probably wonder how Amaya got inside in the first place.

"It's decided then." Ikuto stated, not waiting for anyone to object. Blue ears appeared on his head and his blue tail whipped the air behind him, then he dived across the roof into a tree top and made his way towards the Royal Garden.

-----

"Ikuto ~Nyaaa." Yoru whined as Ikuto stood on the royal garden roof, picking the lock on the window.

"What?"

"Why are we helping this girl?"

Ikuto stopped hitting the lock in frustration and spared a glance at his chara. "Because."

"Ikuto ~Nya!"

"Because, Yoru."

Yoru frowned and crossed his arms before floating in front of Ikuto's face, distracting him from his job again. Ikuto sighed sharply and let go of the lock.

"What now?"

Yoru frowned into his owners eyes, watching him closely. "Why do you trust her?"

Ikuto slowly ran his fingers through his tousled hair. "Why?"

"I want to know ~Nya!"

"…Because Amu trusts her." He told him out of the side of his mouth, as he took one final tug on the lock before it fell from the window. Ikuto's hand dived out and caught it just before it smashed into the glass of the roof, shattering it.

"Amu ~Nya?"

Ikuto ignored him and jumped down through the medium skylight, heading towards the main doors.

"Damn, it's dark in here." He muttered under his breath. It seemed as though the garden was currently in the shade of the giant building next to it. He reached the wall and brushed his hand over it, searching for the handle.

-----

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Amu cursed as she ran full speed across the rooftops. "Crap!" She mutter-yelled, as her foot narrowly avoided getting crammed into a chimney.

"Keep focused, Amu-chan!" She heard Miki yell, speeding along with her.

"Go, go, Amu-chan!" Ran cheered clearly.

Amu gave up on trying to piece together a coherent sentence and settled with grunting something at the pair.

After several minutes, Amu eventually reached her balcony door, praying with all her might that her parents or sister hadn't noticed her absence through most of the night. She squinted through the balcony but couldn't see anything in her room for the light shining on it. All she could see was herself staring back, still dressed as a cheerleader. She frowned. No wonder she was so cold.

"Ran."

"Oh, okay, Amu-chan." Ran dispelled the character transformation.

Amu pressed her hands on the glass of the door and leaned forward, so her hands were above her eyes. Her room was just as she left it. Bed sheets tangled and all over the floor, clothes strewn all about the place, paper covering her desk, Suu floating in front of the door looking angry…wait, what?

Amu slide the door open almost silently and slid it shut just as quietly, save the slight 'click'.

"Suu?" Amu whispered.

Suu uncrossed her little arms and fixed them to her hips, frowning at Amu, Miki and Ran, looking like a mother about to scold her naughty children.

"And just where have you all been ~desu?" Her voice made them all shudder and cower away from her. But Suu only advanced.

"We had to go to the X transformation, Suu." Ran murmured.

"It doesn't take you all night ~desu!"

"Suu we ended up talking to-" Amu began.

"You can tell me tomorrow." Suu said, dropping her arms from her hips. Her scary side completely vanishing. Miki and Ran breathed a silent sigh of relief. "But now I have to tell you something great happened ~desu!" She smiled.

"Huh?" Amu rubbed the back of her hand against her drooping eyes, and she shuffled over to her bed, falling on it face first.

"Amu-chan!" Suu yelled.

"I'm listening, I'm listening."

"Dia's egg hatched!" Suu exclaimed happily.

Okay…now she was listening.

She flipped over, planning on sitting up, when in reality she flipped herself over the edge of the bed. "Wha-?" THUMP.

"Hi, Amu-chan."

Amu looked up from her aching knee and stopped rubbing her throbbing head.

"D…Dia?"

"It's been a long time, Amu-chan!" Dia smiled.

"But…but why have you…?" Amu spluttered.

Dia laughed then twirled. "I told you! I'm Amu-chan's radiance!"

"Radiance?" Miki repeated. "So Amu-chan is letting her radiance shine now?"

"Yup!" Sang Dia, swooping down to be on eye level with her exhausted owner on the floor.

"Well, I don't feel very radiant." She mumbled, pulling at the collar of her shirt.

Dia laughed again, shaking her head. "Amu-chan is radiant because she fell in love!"

Amu could do nothing but blink up at her.

"So because she and Ikuto admitted to each other, Amu-chan became more radiant and now you can stay out for good?" Miki clarified slowly.

Dia nodded, her orange hair swishing around behind her head.

"Isn't that great, Amu-chan?" Shouted Ran. "…Amu-chan?"

They all floated over to where Amu was curled up in a ball at the foot of her bed, the side of her face pressed against the side of her mattress.

-----

I went back to school today. It's the worst thing ever.

Ikuto: Well I'm currently being held hostage by Easter.

Tadase: And I'm fighting for Amu's love even though I know I'll never get it.

Utau: And my mother betrayed me, and I got forced into working for Easter.

Nagi: And I'm hiding a huge secret from two of my best friends.

Rima: And my parents are always fighting.

Yaya: And Yaya's always being ignored for her younger brother.

Kukai: And I'm completely left out of the 'Lets-Save-Ikuto' plan.

Okay so maybe not the worst thing ever. But it's pretty bad because I only just went back today and I already have my GCSE homework. -sigh- So the updates are gonna be slow or the chapter is going to be bad. I'll really really really try my hardest but I'm just explaining this to you all encase everything goes downhill from her. This chapter is the first example of that happening. Sorry! But I did try hard and I'm ignoring by business homework for you lot! So please be happy ^^

Ikuto: You always ignore your work…

No I don't! Anyway is this chapter better than the last? I think it's longer. I worked so hard so I hope you all enjoyed it! How is everyone liking Dia being properly born? Is the reason for her hatching good?

Amaya: Everyone who reviews gets a hug from me! ^^

Dia: Review please!
