I do not own Shugo Chara, Peach-Pit does.

Ikuto's POV

"Remake Honey!" A sweet honey spilled out of the pink wisk and surrounded me and leaving a sweet taste in my mouth after it disappeared, healing my wounds. "Are you alright now?"

I looked at Amu's worried face but could only concentrate on how cute she looked in the green bubble dress and her pigtails but I nodded just to calm her down. Kukai and Kairi helped me up but the quick movement sent this sharp pain up my body from where the cut was.

"Holy shit!" I cried out.

"Ikuto?" Amu gasped, now out of her character transformation

Kukai and Kairi wrapped my arms around their shoulders as I tried to catch my breath, "I'm alright now."

"Amu-chan, Ikuto-kun's going to be in some pain. The Remake Honey healed him but he's still very sore-desu."

She looked from her blond chara to me and then sighed.

"We should get back to the hotel so Ikuto could rest," Nagihiko said, pulling out his phone.

"Who are you calling?"

"The shuttle."

There was a buzzing sound coming Utau's pocket. Nagihiko walked away from us to speak to the shuttle driver and Utau looked at the screen of her phone.

"It's a text from Akane. She sent it to me in the middle of the concert. Apparently security found her and took her away to work."

"That sucks. Maybe she's already back at the hotel."

"Maybe."

Nagihiko came back, shutting his phone, "He's close by so he should be here soon."

"Good cause I'm in pain!"

Kukai's POV

We made it back to hotel. Sanjou and I carefully walked with Ikuto with Amu at our side, basically worried. We made it to the hall of our rooms when we heard shouting coming from inside one of the rooms. Soon, the door to Akane and Haru's room flew open with Akane falling out and into a run. She wasn't wearing her 'disguise' but the gray sundress from earlier. She ran down the hall opposite from us with Haru running after, calling her name.

We watched in silence until Yaya spoke.

"Aka-chi was crying."

"How do you know?"

She pointed down at the floor outside the door to see a few wet drops on the floor. Akane's tears.

"Should we go after them?" Fujisaki asked.

"No. They have to settle whatever happened between themselves," Queen shook her head.

Sanjou and I helped Ikuto into his room and sat him down gently on the bed and then left him in Amu's care. I walked into my room to find Utau sitting on the bed staring at the floor, swinging her legs.

"Utau, you okay?"

"Yeah, just thinking what a mess our first day in this hotel was. First, Akane and Haru get caught with reporters over their castle. Then, we find out about a new guy working with The Stones that seems to also be Kasumi's enemy. Also, Kasumi was gonna kill us and ended up hurting Ikuto. And then what we just saw, Haru and Akane not getting alongover who knows what."

I sat down next to her and brushed her bangs a little. She looked at me with those famous, beautiful violet eyes and I smiled at her, "You're such a good friend."

She blushed, embarrased, and pushed me away, "S-Shut up, idiot."

I chuckled and pulled her into a hug, "Everything will be alright. Things will be made right soon. As for Haru and Akane, they have to settle their fight between themselves like Mashiro said."

"Hope so."

"Yeah. But enough about them, let's focus on us."

I ran my hand up her leg and she turned bright read, "Pervert!"

"That's payback for making the bet with Mashiro," I smirked.

"How did you find out?"

"Fujisaki told me how Mashiro needed ten dollars from him for you."

"Dammit, Nagihiko!"

Akane's POV

Run...Just run. Don't stop. Just run! was all I thought as I ran down the hall and slipped into the arcade. My breathing was uneven and my eyes were blurry from the tears that wouldn't stop.

"Akane!"

I saw Haru running down the hall through the glass doors. I ran through the arcade, dodging guests, slipping behind a machine out of Haru's sight, and so on until I reached the entrance again. I pushed open the doors and ran towards the elevator and punched the button to go down. There must be a God because once I hit the button, the doors opened to an empty elevator. I walked in and hit the button fro the lobby when Haru appeared from around the corner.

"Akane wait!"

Frantic, I jabbed the lit up button over and over until the doors started to close. As Haru got closer, the doors were closer to fully shutting. I saw how he tried to speed up but he was too late. The doors closed and he stopped at the doors and punched the closed the doors and I gave a sigh of relief. But it was an even sigh since I still haven't gained my breath back yet.

I slid down the wall of the elevator and sat there staring at the silver metal doors with tears still falling, remembering what happened in the room.

Flashback

Raiden pulled off the blond wig and I felt my heart drop all the down my body into a black abys, "H-Haru?"

"Akane...what the hell have you become?"

"What...I've become?"

"Threatening the others to get out of your way. To kill them! You threatened to kill me too!"

"Shut up!" I threw my silver wig at him. "You don't understand. You'll never understand!"

"Akane!"

I felt tears burn my eyes as I got off the bed and headed for the door but was pulled back on the bed. Haru hovered over me on all fours, pinning my wristed down and keeping my legs down by wrapping his around mine but I kept struggling to get away. Away from him.

"Let me go! Let me go now!"

"Not until you answer me why you've changed ways! Why are you willing to kill?"

"You wouldn't understand!"

"I could if you'd explain it to me!"

I stopped struggling and panted out of breath but my body just burned with anger. I looked up at him and screamed at him, "Why the hell should I explain anything to you! To someone who started dating a whore who did drugs and got them hooked and then completely blew off their supposivly best friend telling them they wouldn't understand! You're a bastard! I hate you! I hate you! All I ever did was be there for you. I stayed with you trying to keep you warm when you were having the chills from the crack. I stayed to listen to all the bullshit you said when you were high on weed. I stayed with you until you got sober from drinking so much. I never left you! And what do you do? You chose to listen to her over me! And now you come back into my life to tell me you're here for me? No. I'm not falling for your sweet words. I'm not falling for those same words you said when you were flying high. I'm not falling for anything, so you can just back off and get out off my fuckin' life because I don't want you! I! Hate! You!"

Everything that I've held in was finally let out. All the pain that I felt because of him was running down my cheeks and onto the bed sheets in salty tears. My chest ached from the lack of air from screaming and from looking at Haru's shocked wide jet black eyes. My whole body ached from the truth of my words but the lie behind it too.

Feeling his grip on me loosen, I slipped out from under him and went to the bathroom to change out of my dress and wipe my tears. When I walked out Haru was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands but he looked up when I walked in.

"Akane," he whispered, "I-I'm so sorry. You have no idea how sorry I am. You have no idea how much this whole thing as been eating at me. There hasn't been a day since after we fought that I wished I never took her side. I regret it so much."

"Stop lying."

"I'm not lying!"

"Yes you are! That's all you do. Lie. 'I'm going with some friends', 'No, I'm going to the mall. Stop worrying', 'Sorry, Aka, I'm busy right now. Maybe tomorrow'. All those times you were will Her or one of her druggy friends getting high and I knew. I knew, Haru. But you lied anyways because you're a lair."

He stood up and cross the room and stood in front of me, frustrated, "Will you just stop and listen to me!"

"I've listened to you enough."

I pushed pass him but again, he grabbed my arm but this time he pulled me into his arms, into an embrace. My heart skipped a few beats because the familiar warmth his hugs always had. They always made me feel safe and wanted. He buried his face in my hair, his breath tickling my neck. I pressed my hands to his chest to push away but he held on tighter.

"Stop doing this to me. I hurt you. Badly. And I want to make things better. Please. Just listen to me. Give me another chance."

New tears found their way out of my eyes as I pulled his arms off from around me, "You had another change but you chose her. Remember? I can't give you another chance."

I ran out towards the door and stumbled out and headed into a run down the hall.

End of (the long) Flashback

Finish remembering what happened, I realized I made it to the far end of the beach with boulders. The night tides crashed against the shore, sprinkling my feet with fresh cool sea water. I heard giggling and a deep chuckle that wasn't far from where I was. Hidding behind the large boulder I saw Amu and Ikuto. Ikuto looked fine even after I cut him as Crytsal White.

He picked up Amu and spun her around as the tide reached up the shore towards them and Amu gave a squeal. I saw how Ikuto's foot sank into the sand causing them to fall back. Amu landed on him and Ikuto gave out a painful grunt.

"Ikuto! Are you alright?"

"Relax, Amu. I'm fine. The sands just hard and your heavy."

"Hey!"

Ikuto cupped Amu's face and quickly pulled her into a kiss. The second their lips touched, Amu's body relaxed and melted into the kiss. It became passionit and the way Ikuto held Amu so gently made look up at the night sky and pray for their happiness.

I walked away from the Amuto moment and continued to walk down the shore, with the water sinking my feet into the sand as the tide fell back into the ocean. My phone buzzed in my pocket, ruining the peaceful sounds of the ocean. Pulling the phone out, I read the unknown number to remember it to be Haru's cell. I ignored the call and turned my phone off and continued walking.

~Next day~

Kairi was the first to wake up from the everyone else since he's use to waking up early. He looked over at Yaya who was sleeping on her stomach with her arms under the pillow, a smile on her sleeping face facing him. He smiled and brushed her hair,that's usually in bows away,from her face. Her smile got bigger at the touch of his fingertips. He got out of bed and started getting dressed for the day when he saw something on his laptop blinking since he never turned it off yesterday.

Turning on the sleeping screen, he saw he had an e-mail from his sister.

Hey there, little brother.

Just wanted to check up on you. You know, cause I'm such a good older sister and stuff ^^...Okay! You got me! I feel like such a lousy baby-sitter! TTToTTT
I can't cook or clean like you and Aoi-chan ends up doing it all. She says she doesn't mind but I do! I feel so bad :( When you get back you are teaching me! Because I need to know this because one day you're going to end up marrying that Yaya girl you're dating and you'll leave me all on my lonesome-self =''''(.
Have fun on your trip, little brother.

Kairi's face was red from his sister comment about Yaya and ended up slamming the screen down shut. He looked at the time and went to wake up the sleeping girl and then call his friends to wake up too.

~Time skip~

Everyone was up and ready for another day and waiting for the fueding friends to come out of their room but to their surprise, only Haru came out of the room. He had purple bags under his eyes and his eyes were red and swollen. He didn't even bother to fix his messy bed hair.

"Dude, you look awful," Kukai commented.

"Thanks..."

"Where's Akane?" Rima looked behind him.

"How the heck should I know?"

They watched as Haru stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked pass them towards the elevator.

"Okay, something defiantly happened between them," Utau hissed, "The guy's been crying! If that doesn't say anything I don't know what does."

"Relax, Utau. Come on, breath."

"Shut up, Kukai."

"But where's Akane then?"

They heard the elevator ring so they ran to get on before Haru left them. It was pretty quiet in the elevator with Haru being depressed and such. When they reached the lobby, they saw a set of green hair and knew imediantly who it was.

"Akane!"

She turned around on the couch with a magazine in hand and smiled at them which hurt Haru a lot, "Morning you guys."

"Were you here the entire time?" Amu asked.

"Sort of. I woke up early so I took a little tour of the hotel and then ended up here. I knew you guys would be waking up soon so I waited here."

"Oh."

"When did you come back to the room?"

They all watched as Akane stared at Haru with a blank expression before answering, "You were way out of it when I got back."

"Hm."

"So! Who wants breakfast?" Yaya cut in.

Everyone looked at the hyper girl, secretly thanking her for directing the topic to something else. They all went to breakfast with Tanaka seating them again. Even he noticed the bitter tension between Akane and Haru but put on a smile, "So, did you all have a good day yesterday?"

"We had some...complications the rest of the day," Utau laughed nervously.

"Ah, well, I hope today there won't be any 'complications."

Their breakfast was served and they had small talks with each other but Akane kept far from talking to Haru and whenever someone would turn the conversation to get Akane to talk to him, but she would somehow walk around it.

She's not helping herself! Utau wanted to pull her hair out.

Haru-kun must of really messed up, Nagihiko thought, cutting a slice of pancake.

Bet Kukai's trying to think up a plan to get them to stop fighting again, Ikuto sighed, taking a sip of his milk.

How to get them to stop fighting?...How to stop fighting...Stop fighting...God dammit! I can't think of anything! Kukai spazed out in his mind.

Is it me or is Kukai twitching? Yaya looked at Kukai like he grew another head.

Out of nowhere, a woman in a gray business suit with a pink ascot and thin rimmed glasses, came up the group smiling brightly, "Excuse me." Everyone stopped eating and looked up at the random woman. "I'm here working for a photo shoot but it seems that most of our models are still in been with a hangover from last night. Would you girls like to pose for us? And it would be an honor to have you, Hoshina Utau, to pose for our shoot. Please?"

"Sure, why not?" Utau shrugged.

"Yeah! I want to model!" Yaya giggled.

"How about you girls?"

Amu looked at Rima and they bit their lips nervously.

"You should go for it, Rima-chan."

"You too, Amu." The girls blushed at their boyfriends comments and agreed to model. Ikuto leaned into the woman's ear and whispered, "I want extra pictures of the pink one."

"I heard that, you pervert!"

The woman laughed and looked at Akane, "Well, what about you?"

Akane stabbed her eggs, still thinking then nodded, "Okay."

"Great! Thank you so much," she bowed. "Be here in exactly two hours," she handed Utau a card, "We'll have outfits ready there so you don't have to bring anything."

"Alright."

"Thank you again."

The woman walked away and Yaya started giggling, "We get to be models."

"Well, Utau has experience in modeling and so does Amu so they can help us out," Rima shrugged.

"Amu modeled?" Ikuto asked shocked.

"Rima! That was only a couple of pictures with Yua and that was years ago."

"But it still counts," she smiled innocently.

"How about you Akane?" Nagihiko asked.

"Working with Kasumi, I've had to go to her photo shoots so I kinda know how it is."

"Well then, let's get as much fun in before we go take our pictures," Utau said, calling Tanaka over.

Their tabled cleared, they were going to their first activity of the day but Akane was pulled to the side by Haru, "Please stop ignoring me."

Akane looked down at her arm where Haru had his hand and prayed his fingers off, "Stop trying to get my forgiveness because it's going to take a lot for that to happen."

She walked away towards the others to start the day.

~Two hours later~ Nagihiko's POV

After a few arcade games, swimming in the indoor pool, and watching Tv in Yaya and Kairi's room, we headed out to the address of the place the photo shoot was being held. We were led inside by the same woman from earlier.

"I'm glad you came." We walked into a large gray room that had lights set up, a rack of clothes next to a dressing room, make-up table, and a number of backgrounds. The guys and I sat down on a bench to the side as the woman took the girls to get changed, handing them each an outfit.

Amu walked out wearing a long white t with a jean vest over, red skinny jeans, black converes, silver star earrings, a red headband, and a black purse with white stars. My Rima came out wearing a spaghetti strap shirt with different color hearts on it, a black vest, faded blue kapris, blue converses, black dangling star earrings, a pink headband, and a pink purse. I'll admit it was strange to see Rima wear something like that but she still looked cute ^^. Akane wore a beige t with a butterfly design in it, a black vest that buttoned under her bust, fade blue skinny jeans, gray plaid converses, big brown hoop earrings, a brown hat and matching purse. Yaya was dressed in a white polk-dot pink tanktop with a beige plaid vest, dark blue shorts, white polk-dot pink heels, matching hoop earring and purse, and a pink hat. As for Utau, she wore a red t with a crown design with a black vest, black skinny jeans, red heels and red earrings, a lepord printed headband and black leather purse. They all looked really hot. (Outfits on profile)

The Photographer had Utau pose with Amu and Akane because of their closely related outfits. After them, Rima and Yaya posed with their purses being held over their shoulder like the photographer asked. The pictures came out great and of course Kukai and Ikuto bribed the photographer to give them copied of their girls...Okay so maybe I gave them some of my own money to get me pictures of Rima too but I didn't go up like they did so willingly! I have self-control too XP...-_- okay I know I'm pathetic.

After some more outfit changes and poses, the Amu, Rima, and Yaya got the hang of posing on their own and such. They were all having a great time laughing when they posed funny for a second. As for the guys and I, it was just fun to watch our girls dress up in cute and sexy outfits.

"Alright, girls. Time for couple pictures."

The girls looked at us excitedly (except for Akane) but the lady clapped her hands and a group of male models walked out. The minute they saw the girls, their cocky attitudes reached the max and they started hitting on them. Amu, Rima, and Utau were pretty quick at rejecting them but the guys were presistant. Yaya was oblivious to what the guy was saying to her, what with her innocent mind. Akane on the other hand was flirting back but she looked a little annoyed by the guy.

Now it's our turn. The others went to save their girl and I went to save mine. I stepped inbetween the guy who was shorter than me by a few inches (thank you basketball!) and Rima, who grabbed onto the back of my shirt.

"What do you think you're doing with my girlfriend?" I asked, smiling politly but you can just feel the anger coming off me.

"S-Sorry, man, didn't know she was taken." And with that, Mr. Cocky and his buddies went to hide behind the lady whos name I still do not know.

When I looked down at Rima, behind me, I caught her pulling her eyelid down and sticking her tongue out at the guy. It was funny as hell to see her do that! XD

The lady started arguing with the male models. She then sighed and the guys then went back from where they came from and she turned to us, "Alright guys! Suit up! You're posing with your girlfriends."

"I'm not his girlfriend!"

"She's not my girlfriend!"

-_- Aaaaand they're arguing again.

"Beautiful. I love it. Such passionate anger towards one another. Quickly, boy, go get changed!"

Sweet baby jesus, from the way this photographer talks...I think he's gay o.o. (A/n: I have nothing against gay ppl! I really don't. So if you are gay, plz don't be offended. This is just how I picture the photographer.) The lady smacked an outfit against Haru's chest and pushed him into the changing room and then did the same thing to the rest of us.

Walking out, the girls eyes lit up to see us dressed up. It was alittle embarrasing ^^''''. Haru was wearing a black sweater with a design at the top (but I couldn't read the word on the sweater because it was cut by the zipper), a faded black pair of jeans, and a leather tag necklace and a gray watch. I was wearing a purple sweater that had black diagnols that merged on my left arm, turning the sweater black, a pair of black skinny jeans, a silver watch, and a brown shamrock necklace (?). Ikuto was wearing a white and black plaid sweater, black jeans, a trail necklace, and a cross and tag necklace. Kukai was also wearing a white sweater but with tiny black dots that connected, black bootcut jeans, a couple of trail bracletes, and a black watch. As for Kairi, he wore a blue striped sleeved shirt, straight jeans, and braclete cuffs. (Outfits on profile)

Now that we were dress, the lady grabbed Haru and pulled him over to where Akane was standing infront of the dark gray background, crossing her arms. The photographer positoned them back to back with their arms cross, looking over their shoulders at each other. After them, he posed Amu and Ikuto. Ikuto was holding Amu from behind smiling into her hair as she laughed. Next was Yaya and Kairi. He had Kairi standing there smiling down at Yaya as she clinged to his arm. For me and Rima, the photographer whispered in my ear to surprise Rima with a kiss on the cheek. When I did, he took the shot and showed us. I had my eyes closed kissing her cheek but Rima's cheeks were pink. I had to laugh. As for Kukai and Utau, it was a shot of Utau jumping onto his back while he was grinning. I have to say, the guy was pretty good at his job.

"Well, thats about all if it," he said, looking through the pictures he had printed out.

"Thank you so much for taking the job," the woman bowed.

"No problem," Amu smiled.

"It was fun."

We had changed back into the clothes we came in and were heading towards the door when the photographer came running up to us.

"Wait!" We stopped and turned around. He gave me, Ikuto, Kairi, Kukai, and Haru a thick folder. He winked at the us then walked away.

"What's in them?" Akane asked.

We undid the string around the button thing and pulled out the pictures of the girls and the ones with us. But was surprising were the random pictures of the girls laughing, us guys talking, and so on.

"Today was fun," Yaya giggled.

"Defiantly."

~Time Skip~ Rima's POV

The photo shoot took most of the day so by the time we got finished, got back to the hotel, went swimming for a while, then danced at the party going on by the bar, it was already nine. Dancing was fun, especially when you're boyfriend is like a professional dancer ;). After the song finished, Nagi and I pushed our way back to the bar where the others made it back to.

"Damn, way to much fun," Utau sighed but was smiling.

"Right? Who knew Kukai could dance."

"Queen!"

"You're one to talk, Rima. I never expected you to dance like that," Nagihiko smirked, moving my hair to the side to kiss my neck.

"Pervert!"

"Haru, why won't you come out to dance?" Amu nudged his arm.

"Nah, I'm good. I'm not much of a dancer anyway."

"Why do I not believe that?" Ikuto raised a blue eyebrow.

"I get that a lot."

"Hey, where's Aka-chi?"

We turned on the spinning stools looking for a set of green hair in the crowd on the dance floor.

"Found her!"

Following where Amu was pointing, we saw that Akane was dancing with this guy that had dyed black hair, gray eyes, a tribal tattoo running from his shoulder down to his hand. They both had a drink in hand but I was worried that she got that drink from him. He whispered something into her ear and she started to giggle. He continued to whisper in her ear as he let his fingers trail down her arm until it reached her hand. He took hold of her hand and started leading her away from the dance floor.

"I think we need to go save her," Utau frowned.

She, Amu, Yaya, and I pushed through the crowd and then we grabbed onto Akane's arm. She looked at us surprised and relieved.

"What are you doing?" asked the guy with the tattoo.

"We need our friend back, if you don't mind," I hissed at him.

"Well, we're just about to go somewhere."

"By the way she's trying to get your hand off her, she doesn't want to go with you," Amu used her 'Cool & Spicy' tone.

"Let go of her, now." Whoo! Go, Yaya!

The guy glared at us but then let go of Akane and walked away. Akane stumbled when he let her go and leaned against Utau for support. By the way she was swaying and giggling for no reason, it was obvious the guy spiked her drink.

"Sorry guys, for causing trouble." Clue 2: her words were slurred. How much did he give her?

"It's alright. At least we got to you in time."

"I think we should get her back to the room," Utau said, fixing Akane to stand up a little straighter.

"Rima, text the guys."

I nodded and took out my phone and started texting Nagi that we were going up to the room because Akane was drugged while Amu and Utau walked with her towards the elevator with Yaya leading me so I wouldn't run into anything while texting.

Normal POV

Nagihiko's cell phone rang in his pocket with Rima's ringtone.

Rima:

The guy Akane was dancing with spike her drinks. We're taking her up to the room to rest.

"The girls are taking Akane up to the rooms."

"Why?" Kukai asked as the bartender gave them all a bottle of cocoa except for Haru who was drinking the same drink since he sat down.

"Apparently, the guy she was dancing with got her drunk."

"Desperate much?" Ikuto frowned.

Haru gave a bitter laugh, "She's drunk huh? Who would've thought." He lifted his glass to his lips and drank the rest of the light brown liquid.

"What do you mean?" Nagihiko asked.

The bartender came back with another glass of what Haru was drinking. He reached out to take it when Karir snatched it away, "Hey! That was mine."

Kairi brought the glass up close to his nose and smelled it then frowned, "You're drinking? You're under-age."

"Just shut up and give me back my drink."

"No."

"How did you even get alcohol?" Kukai asked, shocked.

"Isn't hard to convince a female bartender."

"You've done this before," Ikuto asked but it sounded more like a statement.

Haru shook his head and sighed, "You'd be surprised of all the shit I've done before."

"We have all night."

"Can I have my drink back?" Kairi lifted the glass over the plant that was close to him and turned it over, spilling it's containt into the plant while still holding a straight face. "Figures."

Upstairs, the girls were dealing with a giggling Akane who was humming Best Friend by Toybox. Rima pulled out her keycard and let Utau and Amu walk in first with Akane. They set her down on the bed and the drunk girl fell back laughing.

"Well, one things for sure," Utau rubbed her shoulder, "You're not never drinking again." Akane's laughing fell to short laughs until she curled up on the bed and started sobbing. "Wait! What I say! Please don't cry. You can drink again if that's it." Akane shook her head as tears continued to fall.

"Then what is it?"

By now, the girls had sat around the crying girl, worried. They heard her say something but didn't hear her.

"What was that?"

"..r.."

"What?"

"H..u."

"Haru?" Amu guessed and Akane nodded her head. "What did Haru do?"

"Does this have something to do with the reason you two don't get along anymore?" Rima asked and recieved another nodded.

"Wanna tell us?" Yaya said, laying down next to Akane.

Akane took some time to catch her breath, stop her tears, and get her head back on striaight from the alcohol. Once she was ready, she sat up and sighed, "Freshmen year, Haru met this girl and...our whole world turned upside down."

Finally the end of this chapter. Next chapter is a bunch of flashbacks of Akane and Haru as they tell their story ;)

Hope you liked it.
