Previous Chapter:

With those word said so harshly, Amu felt her tears – the tears that she had been trying to keep in – escaping from her eyes, rolling down her flushed cheeks. This was getting much more complicated than she had wanted it to be.

"You're mine."

+Knockin' you down+

Tadase shifted from his spot and took a step back. "Let's go. We have to patrol this area before heading back." Tadase said, before turning to walk forward. Amu shook her head and rubbed her tears away. She blinked a few time and took a deep breathe, before following the King away. The silence was back again, for the third time that night. Amu would rather have Yaya shouting and screaming in her ears than this awkward silence that was lingering between them.

Why, why must Tadase confess all this now, when I'm already with Kukai-kun? This is so confusing! My dear heart, why are you aching so? I must be honest with myself, who is the one that I really want to be with? Kukai-kun or Tadase-kun? If…if Tadase-kun had confessed to me before I got together with Kukai-kun…, w-would I say yes? Why is love such a confusing thing? Amu followed behind Tadase like a puppy, only stopping occasionally when Tadase did so. Her mind was repeating the words that Tadase had unloaded on her just a few minutes ago. No, no. I love Kukai-kun! Why am I having such thoughts about Tadase-kun? Amu shook her head lightly, to clear away of those negative thoughts.

She looked up, into the blonde hair of Tadase's. She should really stop thinking so hard, since the throbbing in her head was really starting to affect her physically. She blinked a few more times, to get rid of the stars that were appearing. "We're here. Let's go meet with the rest." Tadase finally spoke. Ahead, she saw Yaya and Nadeshiko already there, waiting for them. "Over here, Amu-chi! Ah, Kukai~ You're back, too!" Yaya shouted across the darken hallway, waving enthusiastically.

Amu looked behind her shoulders and saw Kukai jogging slowly up to her. The smile on his face made her relax a little. "Hey," Kukai whispered. Amu could only flash him a smile, while they made their way into the Royal Garden for a meeting.

Amu was half-listening to Kukai babble on and on about how he thought he saw a shadowy figure in the hallway. She couldn't concentrate, not in the pathetic state that she was in.

What if, what if Tadase-kun had confessed before Kukai-kun did so? Would I accept him? What's wrong with me? O-of course I would reject him. I really do love Kukai-kun! Tadase-kun's words are just messing with my head! I guess I'm really tired, after all.

As if on cue, Amu let out a shaky yawn with her eyes closed. When she blinked sleep away from her eyes, she saw the rest of the guardians staring at her. Amu felt a creeping heat up upon her cheeks. "S-sorry. I'm really tired, is all." Amu said, trying to muffle another yawn. "It's okay, Amu-chan! We're all tired." Nadeshiko gave her a gentle smile. "Yeah, let's go back to sleep then. Kukai and I will wake up in two hours to go for another round of patrol." Tadase then proceeded to shoo the rest back to their sleeping area.

Amu was proceeding for a small wash up when Kukai tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey," Kukai gave her a wining smile. "Hey." Amu tried her best to give him her genuine smile, but failed. "You okay? You look really tired." Kukai was frowning. "Because I am tired, Kukai-kun." Amu giggled a little.

"Let me walk you to the toilet, okay?" Kukai then grabbed her hand and held onto it tightly. "Pervert." Amu muttered, sotto voce. "I-I'm not! I saw a shadowy figure just now! I'm trying to protect you, okay!" Kukai replied, stuttering. Amu let her head fall back in a tear-inducing laugh. She felt better already, with her hand held onto tightly by the one she loved so much. Love.

"Kukai-kun, you can't go beyond this line, if not, you'll be in the female toilet already!" Amu giggled, reluctantly letting go of Kukai's warm hand. "I'll wait for you here?" Kukai suggested, his head bowed low, bangs covering his blushing cheeks. "Okay! But I'll take a while. You can head off, if you're bored, I don't mind." Amu replied, giving Kukai a peck on his nose and rushing into the brightly-lit bathroom.

Kukai smiled and let himself slide down against the wall just outside the bathroom. He giggled a little, thinking about the kiss, peck on his nose. He sighed in happiness. At that moment, Daichi came floating towards him, with Amu's charas in tow.

"Hey Daichi, how was the mini-barbeque that you guys had, just now?" Kukai grinned, giving Daichi a knowing look. "Oh, er, it was good!" Daichi scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "It was fun, wasn't it?" Ran commented, waving her pom poms over her head. Daichi nodded in head in agreement.

Kukai gave Daichi a small wink and a thumb up; Daichi ducked his head in embarrassment. "Where's Amu-chan?" Miki asked, looking slightly bored. "She's in the shower. I think she'll be out soon…Let's wait for her, ne?" Kukai replied, patting the spot next to him, motioning for the charas to sit next to him.

-x-

Amu lathered strawberry flavoured shampoo onto her wet body, reaching behind her ears and neck. She thought about the happening less than an hour ago; was Tadase serious? About his feelings for her. She felt something tighten in her chest and paused in her shampooing. The headache was coming back. The pounding in her head was seriously killing her. Tadase…Kukai…

Amu let both of her hands fall beside her body. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, soap studs sliding off her body. I'm confused…

[I want to desperately
But I don't feel the same]

A/N:

Agh! I'm really killing myself for this. I wrote chapter 10 a few days after my previous up date, but I forgot to save it. So somehow, after spending 2 hours and typing about 3,000 words and it disappeared, I was lazy to type out everything again. Sorry! But nevertheless, here's a short update!

Sorry if Amu is really OOC in here. She's an angsty teenager in love~ Anyway, please tell me if you would like me to continue this story, and if my writing style is better. It's okay if you don't comment! I don't feed on reviews! I just want to know if there is anything I can improve on my writing!

And, I'm really really out of this Shugo Chara fandom so yeah. I don't want to get flamed for writing wrong information inside.

Another important note:

I wrote this story before we heard the news that Nadeshiko was a guy. So I hope you don't mind if Nadeshiko is a female in the story. It's kinda hard to write her as a um, guy when I didn't watch until that part. X;

Thank you for your patience ! ^^
