Jewel: Short intro. Sorry if I haven't been updating on my Kukamu. I'm starting to run out of ideas for it. Here's the new chapter. I don't own Shugo Chara or their characters.

~Going Home~

About ten minutes later, Kukai left to go look for Amu's friends and explain what happened. Amu heard someone running up the steps and looked at the door through her tears. She saw the door fly open and the silhouette of someone very tall.

'I wonder if that's the person that Kukai called' She thought as the figure walked over to her bunk.

"Amu. Come down here." A deep voice said. She did as she was told, not caring who it was. When she reached the bottom, she was pulled into a hug. Even though she didn't know who it was or what was going on, she wrapped her arms around their waist and sobbed into their shirt. "Shh... Amu... I'm here. Don't cry. I'm here now." As soon as those words left their mouth, she immediately calmed down.

"I-Ikuto... I was so scared! I-I can't imagine what would've happened if Kukai weren't there..." She cried even harder. She didn't know how, but she knew that it was Ikuto that had come to comfort her. He sat down on Llynne's bed with her on her lap and his chin resting on her left shoulder.

"Don't think like that Amu. I won't let anything like that happen again. I promise." Amu looked up at him and smiled. Ikuto wiped a few of her tears away and planted a soft kiss on her gentle lips. They pulled away after a few seconds and smiled. "So... how's tennis going?"

"It's going pretty good." She replied with a bright smile. Ikuto nodded with a smile.

"That's nice. Too bad I'm pulling you out of it." He said, stood up, picked her up, and placed her over his shoulder with her facing behind them. His expression was blank. At first, she was too shocked to respond. After they started moving, she hit against his back and flailed about.

"IKUTO! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? PUT ME DOWN DAMMIT!" She shouted as she continued to thrash about. He sighed and rolled his eyes. He continued to walk towards the door. Some girls opened their doors and peeked into the hallway. Some giggled, some just went back inside their rooms, while others just continued stared in curiosity.

"Can you please be quiet Amu? You're drawing attention." He opened the door and continued to walk towards the parking lot. Lucky for Ikuto, there were only six girls in the field. They were too busy talking to turn around. Plus, they were all the way across the campus.

"Ikuto, you can't make me quit tennis!" She shouted a little quieter but it was still pretty loud. He paused for a few moments, then set her down slowly. She straightened her clothes then put her hands on her hips. She was about to scold her but saw his expression. The thing was, she couldn't tell what he was feeling. She had seen all the sides to Ikuto, but she had never seen him like this. "I... Ikuto?"

He looked up and his expression changed to pure anger.

"So you want that to happen again?! You don't give a shit that I worry about you ESPECIALLY when something like this happens?! Or are you too damn optimistic to realize this?! Which is it Amu?!" He snapped. As soon as he finished, he regretted it immeddiately. "Wait... Amu I didn't-"

"You think that I don't realize what could happen if I stay?" She asked in a soft voice. A tear ran down her cheek as she continued. "What if I'm only doing this to try and forget? Or because I truly love playing? Did you try to think of that?" Ikuto shook his head.

"Amu I'm sorry... I was just so worried about you... I need to know that you're safe." He stated. Amu looked at him and thought for a moment.

"Ikuto, if you're that worried about me, I'll stop." Ikuto looked at her with wide eyes.

"A-Amu. You don't have to. I was just-" She shook her head and smiled.

"It's my choice Ikuto. Don't worry, I'm sure the office will be fine with it." And without warning, she ran off to the office. He sighed and ruffled his hair.

"Am I doing the right thing by letting Amu quit? I guess I'll just go and get her things..." He thought as he walked to Amu's cabin. When he walked in, he saw Kukai sitting on Amu's part of the bunk. "Yo."

"Hey Ikuto! So how'd it go?" He asked with that goofy grin of his. He jumped off (completely ignoring the fact that there was a ladder) and pat him on the back. But since this was Kukai, his 'pat' was more of a slap. Iktuo flinched.

"...In my eyes, not very well. And the next time you hit me that hard, I'll make sure that you can't have kids anymore." He threatened with one of the coldest glares he could muster. Kukai shivered and nodded his head.

"Wait, in your eyes? What exactly happened?" He asked. Ikuto sighed and threw his head back.

"I honestly screwed up again... She quit." Kukai's eyes almost shot out of their sockets. Before he started blurting out nonsense like he usually would, Ikuto raised his hand, motioning for him to wait. "But the thing is, she said that she was fine with it and that it was her choice." He explained. Kukai opened his mouth, then closed it, opened it once more, then completely shut it and thought for a moment.

"...Man... That's..." He was at a loss of words. (AN/N: I forgot what the saying was) Iktuo just nodded. The two just stood there in silence until they heard the door open. They turned to the door and were confused. Amu was smiling.

"Oh, Kukai. I forgot that you were here. Sorry about that." Kukai shook his head slowly, as if he didn't understand a word she said. She paused, looked back and forth between Ikuto and Kukai, and tilted her head to the side. "What's wrong?" Kukai just looked at Ikuto nervously and hoped he could answer since he was paralyzed.

"...It's nothing. Just some guy stuff, that's all." He lied for his pathetic friend. Amu immeadiately bought it. She shook her head, walked over to her bunk, grabbed her bag of the top, and started packing. He walked passed the still paralyzed Kukai and helped her. Amu stopped and turn to him slowly.

"What do you think you're doing?" She asked with a light glare and her arms folded across her chest with her hip out. Ikuto couldn't help but look her over and smirk.

"At the moment? Looking at your amazing body." He teased and wrapped his arms around her slim waist, turning her slightly in the process. She smiled, rolled her eyes playfully, and turned them so that she could continue packing with his arms around her. But when she got to her bras and underwear, he put his lips against her right ear. (A/N: By this time, Kukai's gone and he's talking to Amu's friends outside) "Hm? Been hiding things?" She giggled.

"Nope. You just never ask." She teased back as she finished up. His eyes widened and turned her around do that he could see her.

"So I can see anytime?" He asked in disbelief. Amu pretened to think about it by looking up and tapping her finger on her chin.

"Well... Depends..." She said. Ikuto started to pout. He had a feeling that she was lying. But he knew how to fix that. He lightly traced his index over her bra strap through her shirt and lowered his head to the hollow below her ear.

"Come on... Please?" He begged against her skin. She slightly gasped and unintentionally moved into his touch. He smirked in triumph. But before he could continue, there was a knock on the door.

"Are you guys done raping each other in there?"

Amu laughed. "Yeah, Llynne. You guys can come in." There was a loud thud and Llynne walked in quickly while Kukai and Kanari colloasped behind her. "Wait, were you guys there the whole time?"

"...No... Were you guys trying to have sex?" Kanari shot back.

"No-"

"Yes." Iktuo cut her off. Amu turned and glared at the smirking Ikuto that was laying on Llynne's bed. Llynne chuckled but then stopped.

"Wha-Get off my bed." Llynne said in a harsh tone. Ikuto shook his head.

"Ikuto. Off. Now." Amu commanded. Ikuto pouted but obeyed. Kukai held in a laugh but they could all tell he was cracking up on the inside.

"So Amu... Are you really leaving?" Kanari asked with her eyes fixed on the wood flooring. Amu smiled sadly and nodded. Kanari looked up and shook her head. "Atleast we can see each other when you come to the cafe."

"Hey Amu?" Llynne asked. Amu looked at her. "Can I get your number? So we can stay in touch." Amu smiled and nodded. She and Llynne exchanged numbers while Ikuto grabbed Amu's bag. After the they finished their goodbyes, Amu , Ikuto, and Kukai walked to the parking lot.

"Kukai, how did you even get here?" Ikuto asked with a raised eyebrow. Kukai laughed nervously and ruffled his hair.

"Um... That reminds me. Can I have a ride home? Utau kinda ditched me..." He admitted.

"...Get in."
