ON WITH THE STORY!!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA

P.S. THE STORY IS STARTING THE DAY AMU'S PARENTS GET BACK.

~Normal POV~

"Oi Amu. Wake up" a husky voice whispered in her ear.

"I don't wannaaaaaaaaa" Amu whined as she turned over, burying her face in her pillow. A few seconds later she felt something poking her between the shoulder blades.

"Come on lazy butt" the voice said.

"Ikutooooo leave me alone" she said swatting at the hand poking her. Ikuto chuckled as she missed his hand and slapped her own shoulder. Ikuto leaned forward until his lips were close to her ear.

"Fine" he breathed. She shuddered lightly as his hot breath tickled her ear. Suddenly she felt something hard pinch her ear leaving it slightly moist.

"KYAAA!" Amu shrieked as she fell onto the floor, covering her ear protectively. "Ikuto!" she glared at him. He was laying on his side with his hand supporting his head laughing. Ran, Miki, Su, and Yoru, who had been awoken by Amu's shrieking, were floating nearby with funny expressions on their faces. (AN: kinda like 83 meaning they're eyes were wide and they were trying not to laugh like they're mouth was all curly sorry that description sucks. Aha) Yoru who was next to Miki was snickering loudly. Amu blushed and walked into her closet slamming the door behind her. Ikuto stopped laughing and sighed as he stood up and walked over to her closet. He knocked lightly and said,

"Amu?"

"Go away pervert!" was heard through the door.

"I can't believe that still bothers you" Ikuto said chuckling.

"Actually… it doesn't really" Amu said opening the door.

"Then why'd you freak?" Ikuto asked slightly shocked.

"Old habits die hard" she said grinning. Ikuto laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist. He leaned towards her face, her lips parting to meet his, and licked her cheek.

"I guess they do" he said. Amu wiped her cheek and glared at him. "What?" he asked innocently. "Were you expecting something else?" Amu smirked and stood on her tiptoes, lips closing in on Ikuto's. She stopped when they were a few millimeters apart, waiting. Ikuto leaned forward trying to capture her lips with his but she leaned back. Then her tongue swept lightly over his bottom lip causing him to tremble slightly.

"I guess not" she whispered. She broke his hold on her waist and walked out of her room leaving Ikuto who was staring at the door in shock. Amu's chara's smirked and followed her out the door while Yoru floated over to Ikuto, their expressions matching. After a few more seconds of staring Ikuto snapped out of it and walked out of her room with Yoru following closely behind. He walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where Amu had started making breakfast. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek.

"I think you've been spending too much time with me" he said chuckling softly. She laughed and said,

"Probably" He helped Amu with the rest of their breakfast and then they sat down and began eating. After a few minutes of silence Amu spoke up.

"Ne Ikuto…"

"Yea?" He said looking up from his eggs.

"Do you think Easter is looking for you?"

"For your sake I hope not" he said.

"What do you mean?" she asked confused.

"If they were looking for me that would put you in danger. If they saw us together they would know you're connected to me and they'd use that to their advantage."

"I can take care of myself" she said determined.

"That's what I though" Ikuto said softly, pain in his eyes. Amu walked around the table to him and put her arms around his neck hugging him to her softly.

"I'm so sorry Ikuto" she whispered, sudden memories sweeping through their minds. Ikuto shook his head.

"What are you sorry for? You saved me Amu."

"Maybe… but I should've saved you sooner. I could've spared you so much pain if only I had come sooner." Ikuto turned around and faced her.

"Amu you saved my life. No matter how late you think it was you saved me. And, on top of that, you love me. You have nothing to apologize for." (AN: ok for any of you who are confused I just wanna clear one thing up. This story is taking place after Amu saved Ikuto from being Easter's puppet. Only thing is the boss in the anime, is not going to be the boss here. In case you haven't watched that yet I won't give away who the boss is but for those of you who've seen it you know who I'm talking about. So the Easter boss is evil and we don't know who it is ok?)

"I love you Tsukiyomi Ikuto" Amu said as she kissed him softly. When they broke apart he whispered,

"I love you Hinamori Amu" Amu laughed softly.

"I think you've gone soft Ikuto" Ikuto smirked and pulled her onto his lap.

"You broke me my little strawberry." Amu blushed softly at the nickname. "There it is Hinamori Amu's signature blush." Amu's face turned bright red at the comment and said,

"Only for you" He growled possessively, holding her tighter against him and said,

"It better be" she grinned and kissed his lips once more before standing up.

"Ikuto you know my parents are coming home today" Amu said walking upstairs with Ikuto following. He sighed and said,

"Yea I remember. So what does that mean for us?"

"Well…" Amu said as she opened the door to her room. "You're going to have to meet them" she turned back to look at him and smiled.

"Sounds fun" he said sarcastically. She laughed.

"I don't think it will be that bad. My dad will probably freak but you can just ignore him, the rest of us do" Amu winked at him then walked into her closet to change, shutting the door behind her.

"What about your mom?" He said loud enough for her to hear through the closed door.

"She's already met you, so I think she'll be fine. And Ami will love you the second she sees you. Especially if you mention you're Utau's brother." She replied.

"Well then this afternoon should be very interesting." He said as Amu walked out of her closet. She was wearing a black spaghetti strap dress with a pink belt, pink and black striped socks, a white jacket with a dark blue hood and writing in red letters across the chest and black calve high boots. She walked over to her mirror and clipped her bangs back and put on a black ribbon choker.

"Ne Ikuto" she said as she tied the choker on her neck.

"Hm?" he said from where he was laying on her bed.

"Don't you want to change clothes and take a shower?" He looked at her and smirked.

"That desperate to see me naked huh?" She blushed cherry red and her cool'n'spicy outer character reared its ugly head.

"Who would want to see you naked? You're not even that good-looking" (AN: SO NOT TRUE!!!!) She felt two arms snake around her waist and she yelped as she was yanked backwards. She found herself pressed against Ikuto in an unbreakable embrace. He moved her jacket out of the way and started kissing her neck gently. She let out a squeak in pleasure and felt Ikuto smirk against her skin.

"If I'm not good-looking, why do you have this reaction? I don't think you'd act like this if someone ugly was kissing you." He continued to kiss her neck and everywhere his lips touched increased in temperature until her skin was hot. She felt herself blushing hard and she tried to escape. "Ah ah ah." Ikuto said. "You're not getting away that easily love"

"Mou Ikuto!" she said struggling. "Let me go!" he shook his head and continued.

"But you taste so good Amu" her name rolling off his tongue seductively. He began to nibble the places where he kissed her and she yelped.

"Ikuto! Don't leave any marks! My parents will know!!" He chuckled but let her go. She ran over to her mirror to check her neck. When she saw it was mark-free she smiled. "What I meant was you've been spending all your time with me and so I figured you'd want to freshen up. I can wash your clothes while you're in the shower."

"And what shall I wear after I get out of the shower, pray tell?" Amu rolled her eyes and said,

"Pervert. You can wear some of my dad's old clothes."

"Alright" Ikuto said.

"Once you're out of your clothes and in the shower tell me and I'll grab your clothes."

"And look at me naked." He stated.

"No!" Amu shouted another blush forming on her cheeks.

"You're so adorable when you blush" Ikuto said laughing. Amu gave out a small "Humph" and walked out of her room. She grabbed a towel out of the closet next to the bathroom and handed it to Ikuto. (AN: is that even how her house is?) "Go take your shower Ikuto" she said not looking at him.

"Amu I'm not naked yet, you can look at me" Ikuto teased.

"No I cannot." She stated. "I am mad at you Tsukiyomi Ikuto. I will not look at you" Her cheeks were puffed out and her eyes were closed. Ikuto took the towel out of her hands and Amu heard the bathroom door shut. Amu sighed and opened her eyes, and yelped. Ikuto was inches away from her staring at her, laughter in his eyes.

"You looked at me" he said. He then opened the bathroom door and shut it behind himself. Amu stood there for a second then shouted,

"Ikuto!!" she heard him laugh and start the water. A few seconds later she opened the door with her face fixated on the floor. Seeing Ikuto's clothes she grabbed them and ran out of the bathroom quickly, slamming the door behind her. After throwing Ikuto's clothes into the washing machine she walked into her room and threw herself on her bed.

"What have I gotten myself into?" she groaned. Four charas flew over to her.

"Ikuto's not that bad desu~" Su reasoned.

"And you love him!!" Ran cheered.

"Yea yea" Amu said. She smiled to herself and closed her eyes.

"She looks so happy" Miki whispered.

"Ikuto's happy too. He hasn't been this happy in a while" Yoru whispered back.

"Looks like there are four lovebirds here" Ran whispered to Su who giggled back. Miki and Yoru blushed red and flew to opposite ends of the room, Miki claiming that it was beautiful outside and she wanted to paint it and Yoru claiming he thought he smelled fish. Amu laughed still keeping her eyes closed.

"Miki and Yoru, sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G" Ran chanted. Amu giggled and opened one eye watching her blue chara chase her pink chara around the room screaming at her to shut up. She sighed and closed her eyes again. After a few more seconds of chasing, Miki gave up and flew back to the window, resuming her painting. After a few minutes of silence she heard Ikuto open the bathroom door and close it again. She opened her eyes and flinched, her cheeks turning red. Ikuto was standing there with a towel wrapped around his waist, showing his toned abs. His blue hair stuck to his face and dripped.

"Like what you see?" he said smirking.

"W-Why are you standing here half n-naked?!" Amu screeched cursing herself internally for stuttering.

"Where was I going to change?" he asked innocently.

"In the bathroom! I put clothes outside the bathroom door" she said looking at the floor.

"But its wet in there" Ikuto said pouting.

"So?!"

"I could slip and hurt myself" Ikuto said.

"We wouldn't want that happening now would we?" Amu murmured sarcastically as she walked into the hallway closing her door behind her. "Get changed!" she said loud enough for him to hear through the door.

"Are you sure? I could just walk around na-"

"Change!!" Amu shouted and ran down the stairs, Ikuto's laughter echoing through the hallway. "Stupid cat" she murmured as she pulled some bacon and eggs out of the refrigerator. She set up the skillet and started cooking bacon and scrambled eggs. Ikuto came down a minute later and set the table for two. He then left the room without saying a word to Amu, which left her wondering if she had somehow hurt his feelings. He came back in a few minutes later and asked,

"Amu, where's a lighter?"

"Second drawer to the right of the sink" she replied without even thinking. A few seconds later she realized lighters equal fire. "Ikuto? What do you need a lighter for?" His answer was the clinking of the lighter. She turned to demand what he needed it for. When she turned however, she smiled. On the table were two candles which Ikuto had lit.

"You like?" Ikuto asked smirking.

"Candles? With breakfast?" she asked. He walked over to her and pulled her close.

"It's romantic" he said softly, smirking when Amu's cheeks turned pink. She giggled when he kissed her lips lightly. He pulled back a few centimeters and stared into his eyes. She melted as she gazed into those deep, beautiful, azure eyes of his. "The bacons burning" he whispered. What kind of romantic line is that? Amu thought confused. It took her a few minutes to realize that the bacon she was cooking was burning.

"Ahh!" She yelped as she turned around to the smoking food. She quickly threw it on a plate and onto the table. She stirred the eggs and then put them on another plate and placed it on the table. Just as she and Ikuto were about to sit down to eat, they heard the front door opening.

"Amu-chan! We're home!" She heard a man's voice say. She took one glance at Ikuto before he disappeared up the stairs. She heard her balcony door slam and sighed. Her family walked into the kitchen and she smiled at them.

"Amu-chan made us breakfast!" Her mother explained. "We'll definitely marry you off" Her mother said winking. Her father's face turned to horror.

"MARRY?!?! NOOOO!! Not my sparrow!!" Her father said as tears rolled down his face. He fell to the ground with his arms wrapped around his legs, hugging his knees to his chest. He rolled on the floor screaming "NOO!" while everyone sweatdropped.

"So Amu-chan" her mother said stepping over her hysterical father. "What did you do while we were gone?"

"Nothing much" Amu said hoping she had a good poker face. Her mother stared into her face for a few seconds before winking again and saying

"Alright" Amu sweatdropped again. Maybe she deserves more credit than I give her… Amu thought.
