Mitsuki: I'm sorry I took a while to update but I had MAJOR writer's block. After the spying chapter I couldn't really think of an interesting idea. This chapter was the best I could come up with; please tell me if you like it! And please tell me if this chapter sucks!

Mitsuki: Happy Very Late Valentine's Day!

Ikuto: I know the PERFECT present for the readers!

Mitsuki: What?

Ikuto: I don't know, guess. It starts with an 'A.'

Mitsuki: A, A. Amu do you know?

Amu: Apple?

Ikuto: Apple has nothing to do with Valentine's Day.

Mitsuki: Um, Amu?

Ikuto: That present is for me! Not for the readers.

Amu: *blushes* You're such a pervert Ikuto!

Ikuto: Thank you.

Mitsuki: Okay, tell me.

Ikuto: Some AMUTO! Which should be in the story!

Amu: Here we go again. Mitsuki doesn't own Shugo Chara!

~ Amu ~

"This part is the,"Tsukiyomi pointed to a sentence.

"Subject," I said.

"And this is the," Tsukiyomi once again pointed to the same sentence.

"Verb."

"Together they make."

"A subject verb agreement," I said triumphantly.

"Nothing less from my little strawberry," he smirked. I could feel my cheeks heat up.

"I'm not a strawberry and I'm not yours!" I shouted, jumping up from my seat.

"Who said?"

"Me!"

"And I say you are mine."

I groaned and sat back down. It was Wednesday and we were going through our usual tutoring session. It has also been a few days since I last met Tadase, but I strangely got over the meeting rather quickly.

"Let's just hurry up and get this over with," I mumbled. Tsukiyomi chuckled and turned to the next few pages, which unfortunately were practice pages.

"Well, do these pages," he instructed. I nodded and grabbed my pencil and started working.

~ Ikuto ~

I leaned back in my chair as I watched Amu work on the pages. I slowly grew bored and looked around the room where I spotted the picture of her and her ex on her nightstand. I shook my head in disgust, wondering why she still kept the stupid thing. I turned back to Amu and continued to watch her erase and write on a page.

~ Half an Hour later ~

"Done!" Amu called out. I stretched out my hand and she handed me her book obediently.

I checked the pages thoroughly nodding once in a while. After a few minutes I handed the book back to her.

"So?" she nodded her head eagerly.

"Got them all right," I nodded my head in approval.

"Yeah! At this rate if I take the test now I won't have to do these stupid tutoring sessions anymore!" she yelled.

I frowned. I didn't like the sound of that. She thought these lessons were stupid? Then I thought back to two weeks ago. She was right, if she passed the test Nikkaidou was going to give her, we won't have these sessions. And if we don't have these sessions that means we don't have any time together, and something inside my mind started to scream in disapproval. I shrugged and let the thought dissolve.

"Hey, Tsukiyomi isn't it time for you to go?" Amu asked, pointing to her clock. I looked up and saw that it was 2 o'clock.

"Yeah," I said, gathering my stuff. I walked out the door and down the stairs, Amu right behind me.

"See you tomorrow," she called out. I just nodded, still frowning and left Amu's house.

~ Time Skip: The Next Day ~

~ Normal ~

"Ikuto! Wake up!" Utau said as she dived into Ikuto's bed.

"Yeah, so get off my bed," Ikuto mumbled, rubbing his eyes.

"Meanie," Utau stuck out her tongue and hopped off the bed and out of the room.

Ikuto turned around to take a look at his alarm clock, which read 11:30. Ikuto slowly got out of bed and changed out of his pajamas and into a white t-shirt with a black cross around a red square with a pair of jeans that were ripped at the knees, with a black jacket over the shirt. I slowly walked down the stairs and into the dining room where my parents and Utau were all eating.

"Ikuto, Kukai called," my mom said.

"Why?" I took a seat next to Utau.

"Something about you and Utau going to some place," my dad shrugged.

"When?" Utau lifted her head up.

"Around 12," my mom said.

"Mom! That's in 30 minutes! I have to change and everything!" Utau knocked her chair over and dashed up the stairs.

"What's with her?" my dad asked.

"I think she likes Kukai," I smirked widely.

"Don't smirk like that honey, it's creepy," my mom commented. I quit smirking and focused on eating my lunch.

"Anyway, I don't think I'm going to go," I said.

"Why not? It's summer," my dad looked up from his newspaper.

"I'm tutoring somebody, remember?"

"Oh yeah. Hinamori." My dad said. I rolled my eyes and then continued eating.

~ Normal ~

~ Over to Amu's House: 12:45 ~

"Honey! Get ready! We're leaving in ten minutes!" Midori called out.

It was Ami's birthday and the Hinamori family was going to a restaurant then a place of Ami's choice.

"I'm coming!" Amu yelled out from her room.

Amu hurriedly picked out a dress and put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in approval. She was wearing a pink halter like dress with two layers of ruffles at the bottom. She decided to wear a jacket and picked out a black and white jacket with a big pink skull in the middle, where you zipped it up. She also put on white socks and pink sneakers. She reached in her drawer and pulled out one 'X' clip, which she put in her hair and a pink bracelet.

As she finished dressing, she quickly swiped her pink phone off her desk and ran down the stairs.

"Honey, did you call Ikuto to cancel yet?" Midori asked.

"Nope, I'm going to." Amu said, scrolling down her phone book. She found Ikuto's number and pushed the green call button.

~ At Ikuto's House ~

"You sure you don't want to go?" Utau asked, putting on her shoes.

"Tutoring Amu," Ikuto repeated.

"I know, but can't you just like cancel for a day?" Utau asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Nah. Just go," Ikuto said.

I'd never thought I'd hear myself say

Ya'll go ahe-

Ikuto flipped his phone open.

"Yo."

"Tsukiyomi?"

"Amu?"

"Yeah. Hey, I got to cancel the lessons for today."

"Why?"

"It's my sister's birthday and we have to go to this restaurant."

"No problem. We'll just continue your lessons tomorrow. Bye."

And with that Ikuto hung up and turned to Utau.

"I'll go," Ikuto said.

"Thought so," Utau smiled smugly.

"Whatever," Ikuto said as he quickly slipped on some shoes and left the house.

"Hey! Ikuto! Wait for me!" Utau yelled after him, hurriedly putting on her shoes.

~ Over to a Store ~

"Ikuto!" Kukai waved his hand around.

"Yo," he greeted.

"Hey Kukai," Utau smiled. Kukai weakly grinned back, entranced by the smile.

"Why are we here anyway?" Rima asked, looking at her nails.

"Cause I was bored," Kukai shrugged, shoving his hands in his jean's pockets.

"Wow, great reason," Rima said sarcastically, then she continued, "I want to go get something to eat."

"I'm hungry too, let's go to some place or something," Kukai said. We all agreed and left to go to some fast food restaurant.

~ With Amu and Her Family ~

"Onee~chan! Sit with me!" Ami patted the seat beside her.

Amu couldn't help but smile at her sister. She obeyed and took the seat next to Ami. The family was at a seafood restaurant and later, thanks to Ami, to the amusement park.

"What do you want to eat, Ami?" Midori smiled at her little daughter.

"Lobster!" Ami waved her hands around wildly. (a/n: For the rest of the story, I'm going to say she turned 5)

"Me too," Amu said, leaning on the table, her head rested on the palm of her hand.

"Okay, let's just share a lobster," Midori suggested. Everybody else nodded.

~ With Ikuto and the Rest ~

"Here's your food," Nagihiko smiled as he set a tray of food down. Hands reached out to grab what they ordered. It was quiet as everybody slowly chewed their food.

"Hey, Ikuto, are you dating Hinamori?" Kukai asked suddenly, as he gulped down the rest of his hamburger.

Ikuto choked on the soda he was drinking.

"No," he coughed.

"Just wondering," Kukai grinned at Ikuto's reaction.

"Hey, I'm bored," Rima complained.

"Deal with it," Ikuto glared. Rima glared back until Ikuto felt uncomfortable.

"Oh! I totally forgot!" Yaya suddenly jumped up, hitting Kukai in the face.

"Ow!" Kukai whined, rubbing his nose.

"Sorry. Oh and guess what?" Yaya exclaimed excitedly.

"You brush off my face injury with a guess what?" Kukai muttered.

"What?" Utau said, ignoring Kukai's complaint.

"My uncle gave me these tickets to an amusement park! Let's go!" Yaya jumped up and down, uncomfortably around the table.

"Sure," Rima nodded in head in approval.

~ At the Amusement Park ~

"This place is so big!" Yaya jumped around, waving her hands in the air.

"What are you, some kid?" Ikuto scoffed.

"No!" Yaya turned around and pouted.

"Let's skip this and go over there," Utau pointed to a ride called the 'Ring of Fire.'

"No way, I'll skip," Kukai passed.

"What? Is little baby Kukai afraid of a little scary ride?" Utau smirked, taunting him.

Kukai clenched his fists and declared:

"You wish! I bet I can go that ride more times than you can eat bowls of ramen!"

"You're on!" Utau and Kukai raced to the large circle ride.

"Every single time," Nagihiko frowned.

"I think they should go out already," Yaya piped up, her hands on her hips.

"Forget about those two idiots, I want to go play games," Rima pouted.

"I'll go with you, Mashiro-chan," Nagihiko smiled.

"Me too Rima~tan! You come too Ikuto-kun, Kairi!" Yaya exclaimed.

"I'll pass," Ikuto raised up a hand.

"You sure? Come on!" Yaya urged, but Ikuto just stayed put.

"I think I should pass t-" Kairi didn't get the chance to finish because at the next moment, Yaya was dragging him away to the games, along with Nagihiko and Rima.

Ikuto sighed and stuffed his hands in his pockets, looking around.

Too bad Amu isn't around. He thought.

~ Normal ~

~ With Amu's Family ~

"Yay! It's the amusement park!" Ami screamed, bouncing around.

"We can go anywhere you want okay?" my mom bent down, smiling.

"Yay!" Ami continued to yell.

I sighed and looked around, wanting to go one some rides on my own too. I looked back to Ami and saw her happy smiling face. I shrugged and then smiled.

It's Ami's birthday anyway, there's nothing wrong with doing what she wants for one day. I thought to myself.

Suddenly I felt a tug on the end of my dress. I looked down to see Amu looking up, grinning from ear to ear.

"Onee~chan! Ami wants to ride the strawberries!" Ami giggled and pointed to some spinning strawberries.

I smiled and said, "Fine, let's go."

I held Ami's hand and started to lead the way to the ride.

"Have fun! We'll be at the food stands if you need us!" my mom yelled out from behind.

I nodded and led Ami to the ride. When we were safely buckled into the large, red fruit the ride started. And when it did, I sighed immediately, this ride was really SLOW. It was going about 1 mile per hour. I looked over at Ami, who was smiling widely, jumping in her seat. I sighed again and smiled.

When the ride was finally over, I stepped out, holding hands with Ami. I reached my arms over my back and stretched. I turned around and gasped then spun the other way around.

It was Tsukiyomi. I can't believe he was here. I snuck another look back at him and noticed girls were crowded around him and he was smirking. Looking like he enjoyed the attention. I frowned, my stomach felt weird and my head hurt just looking at him. But somehow, I felt like I knew this feeling, like I had felt it once before. I shrugged and waved the thought away. I turned to Ami and smiled.

"Where do you want to go next?" I asked.

Ami grinned widely and pointed to a mirror house. I smiled and quickly took Ami to the mirrors. I don't know why but I couldn't wait until Tsukiyomi was out of my sight.

~ Ikuto ~
I stood around, hands in my pockets, wondering what I should do until the others come back. It was at times like this I wish I hate a girlfriend. Speaking of girlfriend, Amu was that bad a candidate. I was lost in my thoughts until I heard a quiet voice whisper:

"Excuse me," I turned around to see a red-faced girl staring at me.

"Yeah?"

"So hot!" she squealed.

Suddenly, I was swarmed by a crowd of girls. Loud, squealing, fan girls. I looked around, wondering what I should do. I couldn't think of anything so I decided to smirk and try to enjoy the attention.

I looked at all the girls, one by one and saw that they were all red. The red faces reminded me of Amu, but Amu's face was redder. (a/n: Ikuto cares too much about red faces -_-)

"Hey! What's your name?" one girl asked me.

"Ikuto."

"Kyaaa! Such a cool name!"

I smirked and realized more girls were crowding around me. I looked the opposite direction and spotted a mob of pink hair. I looked closer and saw that that was Amu.

What is she doing here? I thought to myself.

I took a closer look and saw what she was wearing. Man, she was hot! Then I saw her little sister next to her and remembered Amu said that it was her sister's birthday. I looked away before she could see me.

"Is there something wrong?" a girl with brown hair asked me.

"No," I casually said, flipping my hair.

"Kyaa! So hot!"

~ Normal ~

Amu walked out of the mirror house with Ami, dizzy. About 5 minutes after walking in the house Ami got lost and Amu spent the next 20 minutes trying to find her.

"Let's go again!" Ami shouted.

"Later Ami. Let's go buy cotton candy or something," Amu suggested, hoping it would take Ami's mind away from that house.

"Yeah!" Ami grinned happily and skipped away to the food stands.

Amu sighed a sigh of relief and reached instead her jacket pocket for her wallet. She pulled out a plaid wallet with a black bow across the top. She opened it and saw that she probably had enough money to treat Ami.

~ Time Skip: After Buying Food ~
"Snow cone, snow cone!" Ami sang as she skipped, a blueberry snow cone in her hand.

After 10 minutes of deciding what Ami wanted, Amu wanted to just take a rest, so she just sat down at the nearest bench, her eye kept on Ami. Soon, Amu's eyes started to close slowly and Amu was drifting off to sleep.

"Hey, you little brat!"

Amu quickly snapped her eyes opened and looked around for Ami. She finally spotted her, sobbing. Two men stood in front of her, looking furious.

Amu quickly stood up from her seat and rushed right over. She picked Ami up and held her hand, comforting her. When Ami stopped crying and was just sniffling Amu stood up and glared at the two men who made her cry. (a/n: I'm to lazy to describe the men. Sorry.)

"Wow, I didn't know guys were so low. They make 5-year-olds cry," Amu scoffed.

"Woah, babe, watch your language. We didn't make anybody cry," one man said.

"Really? That's funny, I'm pretty sure shedding tears means your crying," Amu pretended to think.

The two guys grew large angry vains in their heads.

"Well, let's say we did make her cry. It's that brat's fault anyway. She wasn't looking where she was going and look here! She got blue syrup all over my cashmere shirt! This thing cost 500 bucks you know!" the man ranted.

"Really? 500 dollars and you say this thing? Wow, must be pretty important," Amu said, crossing her arms.

"You know, now that I look at you, your hot so I'll let you go, just give me a kiss and I'll forget this and forgive your little brat okay?" the man offered.

"What did you say? Don't call my little sister a brat. Besides I don't kiss elephants, it's disgusting," Amu spat as she glared at the man.

"You bitch!" the man pulled his hand back and his fingers formed into a fist. Amu stared in horror as the hand quickly made its way down to Amu's face.

~ With Ikuto ~

"Hey, is it okay if I call you Iku~koi?" a girl asked Ikuto.

Ikuto had managed to get rid of the other girls but two girls insisted that they stay by his side.

"No," he replied, bluntly.

"Oh, that's okay, Ikuto's fine too," the girl said.

The threesome arrived at a large, chattering crowd. Ikuto was curious and pulled away from the girls' grasp.

"What's up here?" he asked a person.

"Some older guys are picking on a teenager and her sister."

Ikuto's eyes widened as he heard the information. Amu had a little sister and Amu was 15. Ikuto pushed past several other people as the girls he had left were calling after him.

"Ikuto~koi! Don't leave!"

~ With Amu ~

Amu held her hand up to her lips. She winced at the pain and pulled her hand away. There was some blood on her fingers as she examined her hand. Amu lowered her hand down to her waist and looked up at the man who punched her.

"I didn't know you had guts to punch a younger girl and make a little girl cry," Amu spat.

"You are just asking for more!" the man raised his fist back up and was centimeters away from Amu's face. Amu closed her eyes waiting for the impact. Tsukiyomi! She screamed in her mind.

Seconds passed by but Amu didn't feel anything. She slowly lifted her eyes open and saw another hand stopping the other person's hand. She looked behind her and spotted Ikuto behind her.

"Tsukiyomi," she whispered.

Ikuto looked at her and he grew angrier when he saw Amu's lip bleeding badly.

"Hey, you little brat. Let go or I'll get real angry," the man threatened.

Ikuto didn't budge and the man gritted his teeth together.

"You asked for it!"

The man charged towards Ikuto, holding out his fist. Ikuto caught the fist and brought his knee up to the man's stomach, who coughed off blood.

"I'm going to let you off easy, you're welcome," Ikuto said. He walked over to Amu and took her elbow and over to Ami and took her hand.

They were out of the crowd, which dispersed. Ikuto brought Amu to a few benches where there were fewer people.

"Wow, you are incredible," Ikuto said.

"What do you mean by that?" Amu asked.

"He already hit you so there's no need to go back and yell at him again."

"I know that, but I can't help it," Amu defended.

"You can't help it? You're a girl and girls don't fight. They just stay by a man's side and let the man protect them."

"Can you repeat that?" Amu put her hands on her hips.

"Repeat what?"

"You are so sexist! Just because I'm a girl I can't be strong? I just have to stand by a man and say that I'm weak? That I can't even defend myself?" Amu said.

"I didn't mean that, I mean look at you. You're bleeding because you said all those things," Ikuto pointed out.

"So you just wanted me to pay 500 dollars for something that can wash off? I can't believe you. Why did you even bother helping me?"

"Amu, don't say that."

"Too late, it's already out of my mouth. Well, thank you for saving me. It's my sister's birthday so I'm going to go," Amu took hold of Ami's hand and started to walk away.

"Oh and you don't have to worry about coming tomorrow," Amu huffed and left.

As soon as Amu was out of sight Ikuto clenched his fist and sighed. Amu probably wasn't so social at the moment.

~ Amu ~

~ At Amu's House at the End of the Day ~

"Mom, I'm going upstairs!" I yelled out as soon as I slipped off my shoes.

"Okay honey, but make sure you come out for dinner later," my mom said.

"Yeah, sure."

I hurried up the stairs and veered into my room. As I entered I close the door behind me and laid down on my bed. After the whole snow cone incident, I had managed to keep my mom and dad from finding out. I told them my lip was bleeding because I kept on biting it and luckily, they believed it.

But what my mind kept on wandering off to was the fact that I was sad that I fought with Tsukiyomi. The bad feeling in my stomach was jealously, I knew that. I felt relief that Ikuto had come to save me. Sad when we fought. And when I was about to get punched for the second time, I called Tsukiyomi's name.

I turned to lay on my back. Jealously, relief, sadness, and calling his name out when I'm in danger. I felt this before I knew that, but what could it be.

Suddenly, I sat up quickly. These emotions, these symptoms. I breathed out. (a/n: I was trying to get it to be like when in those dramas they breath out and half smile like when their thinking or mad. She just did that) I had felt these things before. With Tadase.

But it couldn't be right? I mean am I really in love with Tsukiyomi?

Mitsuki: This chapter was pretty weird, well the objective was to just make Amu realize that she was in love with Ikuto.

Ikuto: Just?! Just?!

Mitsuki: What?

Ikuto: Just to make Amu realize her love? No kissing? No passionate confession for the readers?!

Mitsuki: Nope.

Ikuto: I know your weakness.

Mitsuki: My weakness?

Ikuto: Ryoma!

Mitsuki: *goes on fan girly* Ryoma is the best!

Ikuto: see?

Amu: Well, just please review!
