Kunori: Happy birthday to meh~ Happy birthday to meh~

Amu: It's your birthday?

Kunori: Yup! June 8th!

Ikuto: So how old are you?

Kunori: Old enough to write a lemon *wink*

Amu: Noooo!

Ikuto: Haven't you written a lemon when you were like 11 or something?

Kunori: … Nooooo …

Ikuto: I knew it. You probably have written millions of lemons so far. Amuto ones, may I add~

Amu: Are you serious? O_O

Kunori: Nuu! I'm serious! I didn't!

Ikuto: Yeah right~ *smirks*

Amu: Kunori doesn't own Shugo chara!

Kunori: Nooooo! I didn't! *sobs in the corner*

Chapter 4 Of

Mid-Night Accident

'Forgive and forget'

**Amu's Pov**

I opened my eyes but immediately shut them again. The light coming from the curtains were much too bright! In time, I opened my eyes fully and got up, rubbing sleep from my eyes. A loud 'yawn' escaped from my vocal chords and I looked at the clock. '6:45 am' I was quite early. Still another 15 minutes until Nadeshiko comes to wake me up.

"Friday 19th December 2010" I said aloud as I read my calendar. It was almost Christmas!

I walked over to my wardrobe and opened it to reach out for my school uniform. I put it on my messy bed and picked up my brush and fixed my hair. I then slipped on my school uniform with a few accessories to complete my 'cool and spicy' look along with my trademark 'X' clip gripping on my hair. I admired my looks in the mirror then walked over to my bed to fix it. I opened my window/door and stepped onto the awaiting balcony. The view looked beautiful…

"Amu-Chan, wake up!" I heard Nadeshiko call.

"I'm already up!" I replied.

"Okay," I heard Nadeshiko walk away and I stepped back into my room. I closed my window/door and walked to my door leading to the corridors. Just as I was going to open it, it opened itself and revealed Nadeshiko.

"Oh, Amu-Chan, can you please wake up Tsukiyomi-kun?" Nadeshiko requested.

Tsukiyomi? Ikuto Tsukiyomi? Oh, I forgot this is where he lives now.

I nodded and Nadeshiko smiled. I watched her walk down the stairs until I went over to Ikuto's room. I knocked and said; "Oi, lazy ass, get up. School today," I heard no reply. "Hey! Wake up!"

I opened the door and saw Ikuto, changing and shirtless. And Danm did he look sexy… Ahh! Go away weird thoughts! I saw Ikuto smirk and I was about to grab the door handle to step out and close it again but Ikuto grabbed a hold of my arm.

"My, my, Amu. You're being very straight forward today." He pulled me close to him and I blushed violently.

"G-get off me you pervert!" I shouted at him. His face came closer to mine and I struggled to break free. He was just too strong and I gave up. Ikuto's face came closer to mine and I was blushing bright red. I closed my eyes tightly waiting for the impact.

"Hey, Hinamori, Tsukiyomi, I don't mind you to being all lovey dovey and stuff, but we have school," I heard… Kukai…

The picture was perfect for a misunderstanding. Ikuto shirtless and face close to mine. Holding a metal grip on me. And I, relaxing and closing my eyes. I quickly opened my eyes and saw Kukai looking like he was about to laugh. I blushed even harder and pushed Ikuto away.

"D-don't be stupid Kukai! It's a misunderstanding! And Hurry up and get ch-changed Ikuto!" I shuttered and ran to the bathroom and locked the door…

**Kukai's Pov**

As I was getting up, I heard some voices coming from the room across mine.

"Oi, lazy ass get up. School today… Hey get up!" it was Hinamori's voice.

I ignored the conversation and dressed up quickly. As I was putting on my blazer, I heard; "G-get off me you pervert!" It was Hinamori again. It seemed interesting so I stepped out of my room only to see what looked like; Tsukiyomi was about to kiss Hinamori.

The didn't seem to notice me so I said aloud: "Hey, Hinamori, Tsukiyomi, I don't mind you to being all lovey dovey and stuff, but we have school,"

"D-don't be stupid Kukai! It's a misunderstanding! And Hurry up and get ch-changed Ikuto!" Hinamori shouted and stomped off to the bathroom and I heard her lock the door- leaving Tsukiyomi, a shirtless one may I add; smirking.

"Dude, what was all that about?" I asked Tsukiyomi and he looked at me.

"Just teasing my favourite girl," jeez, this guy seems like a playboy.

"Tsukiyomi, hurry and get changed,"

"Quit the formality and call me Ikuto," it was more of a command than a question.

"Fine Ikuto, now get changed!" I shut the door and walked downstairs.

"What was all the shouting?" I saw Nadeshiko wearing a purple and black chequered apron.

"Ikuto and Hinamori were having a row," I replied.

"Well, we need to leave in about an hour. Its 7:30 now so we better hurry," Nadeshiko walked over to me and fixed my mismatching shirt buttons.

"Ah, thanks Fujasaki," I scratched the back of my head and when she was done I sat on the chair near the dining table and observed the food. Like everyday, we had eggs and bread. Not long after sitting, I heard Ikuto come down, followed by a fumed Amu. We ate our breakfast in awkward silence.

Hey… What Happened to Ami?

Oh, her classes were all cancelled. How lucky. I saw Nadeshiko put some transparent wrapping o top of a plate full of food and left a note on it. I could just about make out what it said…

'Ami, this is your breakfast. Please heat it up before you eat it. Take care of the house while we're gone, as well as yourself! We'll be back by half-past four,'

Well… That's nice and thoughtful of Nadeshiko…

**Ikuto's Pov**

(In school corridors)

As we were walking to homeroom, I saw Amu change her expression into a straight face, slightly frowning. Not forgetting her bag slung over her right shoulder and her left hand in her blazer pocket. I guess this is her outer character…

"Good morning, Hinamori-Sama!" a lot of students surrounded her.

"…Move…" Amu bluntly commanded and immediately, the students surrounding her gave way.

"Cool and Spicy!" wow, it's only like my third week and already I'm sick of them saying that.

"But hey, Tsukiyomi-sama always goes to school with Souma-Sama, Fujasaki-Chan and Hinamori-sama. I wonder if they're now roomies…" I heard one girl whisper with a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"Really? I never noticed… That Hinamori's so fucking lucky and she acts like she doesn't care," I heard this one boy whisper back.

At this point, I was pissed that people were talking about Amu in this way. They have no idea what kind of pain she's been through. They've never seen Amu cry, look so defenceless and so heartbroken. And they have the nerve to call her 'so fucking lucky'? I ought to step right into that crowd and-

Wait… Why do I care? Amu's nothing more than another girl… Only she's different from other girls. She wasn't worshiping the very ground I walked on, or squealing every time she was in the same room as me.

"Nadeshiko, I forgot something in my locker in the girls changing room. So can you go on ahead without me?" Amu asked.

"Sure, just come back to class on time," I looked at Nadeshiko, who was walking not to far away from me and in front of me, beside Amu. Nadeshiko looked around and suddenly lightened up. "Look! Amu-Chan, it's the prince!" Nadeshiko pointed to her right and Amu looked. I saw Amu look a little happier and blush a bit.

Who is this 'prince'? It seems I have some competition…

What? Competition for what, exactly?

I saw this person coming towards Amu with a genuine 'princely' smile. He had red-violet eyes and short blond hair. That can't be Amu's type, can it?

**Amu's Pov**

The second I saw Tadase walk over to me, my heart skipped a beat and felt the blood rush too my cheeks.

"Good morning, Hinamori-san" oh god, what a heavenly voice~ (A/N: Ikuto: Eww… Kunori: I know right? . )

"G-good morning Ta-Tadase!" I shuttered. I was about to completely forget what I was going to do when-

"Amu, aren't you supposed to go to the girls changing room now?" Ikuto stepped right in the middle of Tadase and me. And I swear I could hear a little bit of anger in his voice.

"S-sure! I almost forgot, thanks Ikuto!" I snapped and ran- still vaguely blushing.

I ran across all sorts of turns and squeezed through crowded places. When I finally got to the girls changing room door, I opened it.

"Hey, look! It's Hinamori-sama! I can't believe I'm in the same room as her! Kyaaaa!" oh dear mother of sweet fudge cakes. Another fangirl. But I continued to keep my cool and tried my hardest to put on my 'cool and spicy' personality.

"Yeah, you're in the same room as her right now, but my locker is next to hers! That's way more awesome than being in the same room as her!" another fangirl bragged.

I walked over to my locker and slipped my hand in my pocket, rummaging for the key. When I finally found it I took it out and stared at it.

"Key…Lock…" I said aloud. It made me remember about Ikuto's key…

"But you know: I saw her and Tsukiyomi-sama walk to school together along with Souma-sama and Nadeshiko-sama. Hinamori-sama and Tsukiyomi-sama would look so good if they were a couple!"

"Yeah! I know right?" one girl replied. I replied with a sigh.

**Ikuto's Pov**

(After school)

I didn't get a word of that. I was too busy playing that scene in my mind. Why does Amu blush in front of Tadase? Why do I care? Why do I keep on asking myself these stupid questions?

RING RING RING~

FINALLY! End of class! I pushed my seat from my chair and got up. I picked my notebook up and walked away. Well…I was about to, but I saw a folded piece of paper drop out of my note book. What was this? I bent down to pick it up and stood up straight again. Carefully, I unfolded the paper and read what it had to offer me.

'To: Tsukiyomi-sama,

Please meet me underneath the biggest sakura blossom tree behind the school and after the last class. I can't hide these feelings anymore; I need to tell you something important.

~A girl in your homeroom class' (A/N: Not such a good love letter XD Lol, sorry. I have no experience of writing one ^^)

This was annoying. This very letter in my hand is the, what? …One, two, three… twenty-eight… Thirty-fourth love letter. God…

(Under the sakura tree)

I'm here…Waiting… Agh! Hurry up already! If I don't go to the sowing clubroom soon, Amu will- And I mean WILL cut me up!

After a few minutes, I saw a girl run up to me. She was wearing the girl's school uniform. The girl had a hair colour of dull brown. It was up to her elbows and she had plain black eyes.

Okay- call me pervy, but this is the first thing I thought when I saw her:

'Chest-FLAT, Body-No wanted curves whatsoever'

Once the girl got to me, she was blushing. But nobody blushed and looks cute the same way as Amu… Okay, so I admitted she's cute. So what?

"What did you want? I have things to do, so hurry up," I said bluntly with a bored expression.

"Tsukiyomi-sama, I-I…" The girl immediately straightened up and started to twirl her hair around her index finger. I looked at her face. She was wearing some stupidly heavy make-up.

"Haven't got all day,"

"Tsukiyomi-sama, I love you! Please go out with me!" Here we go…

"Was that it? That was a waste of perfectly good time," …This is what I call 'indirect kindness' . This girl's name is Lasiandra. I overheard someone in our class about how someone has a huge crush on this one. Plus, I'm not interested in anyone… But Amu…

"B-but-" she looked like she was about to cry. I can tell those are fake anyways.

"No, means NO!" I was about to walk away but she…

She was kissing me. It was so sudden, that I didn't have time to react.

"Ikuto! Ikuto where are you? Kunori's getting pissed off because you-" crap! CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP! Amu is sure to take this as a misunderstanding.

Lasiandra broke the kiss and glared at Amu. I looked at Amu too...

"S-sorry for interrupting. I'll tell Kunori you won't come and I'll just have to make one for you…" Amu looked like she found out her pet dog died. Her tears were welling up and she was trembling. "I'm sorry…" Amu turned around and started to run indoors.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?" I shouted at Lasiandra. Okay, I understand Amu apologising and stuff… But why was she crying?

"I-I'm sorry!" Lasiandra covered her face with her left hand, covering the whole of her left eye and her index finger on her eyelid.

I gritted my teeth and I ran inside to go after Amu…

**Amu's Pov**

I was running down the school corridors with my blazer sleeves wiping my tears. Why Do I care? Then I bumped into something…or rather someone.

"My! Amu-Chan, what happened? Come, let's get you cleaned up first then you can tell me," I remember this voice. I looked up and saw the person that I needed the most. Nadeshiko…

I nodded and followed her as she walked towards the girl's toilets. We walked in and Nadeshiko dug her hand in her pocket and slipped out a white handkerchief with some flower patterns on it. She opened the tap and ran the handkerchief underneath the cold, running tap. Once it was wet, Nadeshiko closed the tap and squeezed out the access water. When she was done, she applied it to my cheeks where the tear stains were.

(after a bit more cleaning and sniffing)

We stepped outside and started walking towards the sowing club room.

"So, Amu-Chan, can you please explain?" Nadeshiko asked.

"Well…"

(After a lot of explaining)

"But I don't know why I cried… I felt like… Well, all I can say is that it was indescribable pain," I added.

"Amu… I think you're in love with Tsukiyomi-Kun…"

"WHAT? N-no! I don't!" I stubbornly shuttered.

"You felt jealous when you saw him with another girl; you call each other by first name-"

"That's only because we have no respect for each other!" I interrupted. Nadeshiko sweat dropped and sighed.

"Well, Souma-Kun should by dieing of hunger now. Sayonara, Amu-Chan!"

"B-but it's my turn to cook dinne-"

"Don't worry about it," Nadeshiko winked at me and I smiled. It's great to have such good friends. She turned and I watched as she disappeared into the far corner of the corridor.

I reached for the door handle which had a metal plaque that said: 'Club room- 138'. I was about to open it when…

BAM!

"Owwww!" I shouted in agony and a placed my hand on my forehead.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Amu! Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Kunori repeated. I guess she slammed the door on my head. And danm, did it hurt!

(Once they were settled down)

"Amu, why did you come back so late?" Kunori asked before bending over to pick up a wheel cot of black sting.

"…Ikuto and…" I stopped talking and stopped the sowing machine too. I couldn't say it. Just thinking about it made a tear fall down.

"W-woah! Don't worry about it. Cha' don't have to tell us!" Kaito exclaimed, looking closely at me. I immediately blushed and Kunori stiffened.

(A bit later)

(A/N: Eh, so many time skips! I feel so lazy!)

The door elegantly opened and all 3 of our attentions were directed to the figure.

"Excuse me, but Tsukiyomi Ikuto told me to pass on the information that he's gone home and won't be attending for today" said the guy. He had green hair and was wearing silver-wire glasses. We nodded and he

"…That idiot's gonna pay… For not attending and for making Amu cry!" Kunori said, more to herself than anyone else. She had an awkwardly noticeable vein on her forehead and she was twitching like mad. I and Kaito simply sweatdropped.

I was that important of a friend to her? How nice…

(At home)

I opened the front door with my house keys and stepped in once it was open, of course- closing the door behind me.

"I'm home!" I exclaimed as I slipped my shoes off.

"Hey Hinamori," Kukai said in a bored manner. He was watching soccer on TV so he was probably to engrossed.

"Welcome back!" I heard a feminine voice being carried from the kitchen door.

…I can't say depressed because of Ikuto any longer. I might as well act like it never happened… But I'm still a bit mad I had to stay a few hour's longer making Ikuto's costumes. I walked up the stairs, smelling a light trail of tayaki.

"Mmm… Tayaki…" I said to myself. "Wait, this is no time to be thinking of tayaki!" I mentally slapped myself as I stopped, facing my own door. I sighed as I opened it and I saw my perfectly neat room… With an additional Ikuto standing beside my desk, leaning on it with one hand facing me.

"What do you want, Ikuto?" I asked, obviously angry.

"My, my, Amu, aren't we angry this evening?" Ikuto smirked his stupidly sexy smirk…

"What do you think? You made me stay longer than I was supposed to, doing your share of the job!" I snapped.

"Hnm… I did that much?" I twitched. "But I'm pretty sure I made you jealous with L-"

"I wasn't jealous now get your ass out of my room or else I'll tell Nadeshiko. And you don't wanna know what she does when she's angry," I smirked. Trust me, you don't wanna know~

I saw Ikuto shiver a bit then ignored the comment I just made. His expression suddenly turned into something serious. Like when he was comforting me back then…

"Amu let me explain… Please…"

(After explaining)

**Ikuto's Pov**

I'm glad Amu was willing to listen. Not even an interruption from her. At one point, she softened her expression.

"Oh… S-sorry for jumping to conclusions…" Amu shuttered. She's so cute…

"So… does this mean you can give me a little 'I'm sorry' kiss?" I smirked.

"BAKA, HENTAI, KURO NEKO!" Amu shouted as she was pushing me out of her room. I chuckled. At least Amu is acting her old self again.

"Amu, look at me for a second," I commanded. Amu stopped and tilted her head. I turned around to face her.

"Wh-what do yah want?" Amu was blushing again.

I bent down to her level.

Just one good night kiss wouldn't hurt right?

I closed the space between us and our lips touched…

**Amu's Pov**

Nooo! Why didn't I stop him? I let him take another one of my kisses! But he did taste a bit like tayaki… GAH! DANM RANDOM TOUGHTS!

"W-what?" I managed to slip out, wile staring at him with a blank expression.

"Good night, Amu-Koi" Ikuto smirked and walked out of my room. I watched him close the door and I sighed.

"This is too much for me to live with!" I shouted as I plopped myself onto my bed. "Why didn't I stop him?" I exclaimed into my pillow.

Come to think of it… Why didn't I stop him all of those other times? And I secretly enjoyed it…

'Maybe I need to take a shower to take my mind of this… It's too confusing for me…' I thought to myself. And on that thought, I got up to grab some cloths and my strawberry printed towel. I crept out of my room and into the bathroom. I locked the door behind me.

"Thank god Kukai fixed the locks…" I said to myself smiling a bit. "I need to thank him later!"

Once I was undressed and in the bath tub, my body was completely relaxed.

My eyes started to feel a bit heavy and said to myself "Just a few minutes won't hurt," I then closed my eyes and in an instant I drifted off into a deep slumber.

(When Amu wakes up)

My eyelids fluttered open. 'How long have I been sleeping for?' was my first thought. I got up and stepped out of the tub. I grabbed my towel and dried myself. I felt a bit dizzy… I dressed myself and slowly stepped towards the bath tub, careful not to slip in any of the wet trails I left behind. I unplugged the tub and watched the bubbly water being drained. Just watching the small whirlpool coming from the drain made me even dizzier. I stepped back a few times and turned once I got close to the door. I unlocked it and opened it, only to find a smirking Ikuto. I felt even drowsier and I stepped forward. Unaware of the puddle, I slipped and shut my eyes waiting for the painful impact… It never came… I looked up and saw that Ikuto was holding me.

**Ikuto's Pov**

Woah! I know Amu's clumsy but I never knew she was this absent-minded! Luckily I caught her just in time… But she was blushing when I tool a look of her face. I know it's usual but, she was blushing more than usual and she looked drowsy. She was burning up…Badly…

"Hey, Amu, I think you need to go to bed. You have a fever and a temperature. A danm bad one," I told her.

"No, I'm fine Ikuto…" Amu said, still in my arms but then she well asleep.

"Sure you're not, baka," I smiled at her. She looked like an angel when she slept.

I carried her bridal style and walked into her room, opening the door by kicking it open. I walked in, careful not to band my angel's head on anything and carefully placed her on her bed, pulling the covers over her. I then sat at the edge of the bed. I needed to wait for her until she woke up in case she was hungry or thirsty. I can't exactly bother Nadeshiko, she's busy cooking. All Ami would do is panic, and what the hell can Kukai do? I sighed.

"Looks like I'm gonna be looking after you, strawberry,"

Kunori: Was that too rushed?

Ikuto: Yes.

Kunori: *Sobs in the corner*

Amu: Bad kitty!

Kunori: Yeah! Bad kitty!

Ikuto: Weren't you acting emo just a second ago?

Amu: …Yeaaahhh…

Kunori: I got over that seconds ago!

Ikuto: Whatever…

Amu: R&R… And tell Kunori if she was too rushed with the realisations! Be honest!

Edit: Yeahh… Sorry about rushing it too much, so I re-wrote it! Hope you like it… I was originally planning for the 'sick scene' to happen in chapter 6 but I think this will be much better. I changed the name of the chapter too… YEAH! 9 FREAKIN' PAGES! W00T!
