"Amu-chii?"

"Amu?"

"Oi, Amu-chan! You in there?!"

"Um, Hinamori-san?"

"Amu-chan? Earth to Amu-chan!"

"..."

I could hear them, somewhere in my brain.

But I chose not to answer, in fear of losing train of thought.

Or waking up. Whatever I was doing.

"AMU-CHII!!!!!!!!"

"Wha- what? Huh? What's going on?!" I yelled.

Everyone sweet-dropped.

"We were just talking about the Christmas party tomorrow. We were pulling out costumes," Tadase-kun explained.

"Oh, okay."

"...Amu, you have to pull out a paper," Rima told me.

"Okay." I said and pulled a paper. Sexy Santa?! What the Hell?!?!

"WHAT'D YA GET, AMU-CHII?!" Yaya asked/yelled.

"Se-sexy S-Santa..." I stuttered.

"Yaya got Pink Santa, Rima got Red Santa, Tadase got elf, Utau got Purple Santa, and Nagishiko got Boy Santa! Neko-kun is coming too, but he won't wear a costume!" Yaya explained.

"Neko-kun?" I asked, wondering who that was. (A/N: OMG! Amu is sooooo dense! Amu: HEY! Me: Hi!)

"You called, Amu?"

"KYA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, PERVERT?!" I yelled.

"Pervert? Amu-chan, why did you call Ikuto-san a pervert?" Nagishiko asked.

"Be-because he is!" I yelled.

Ikuto blew in my ear.

"KYA!"

"Are you guys going out?" Utau asked.

"Yes/No!"

Everyone sweat dropped.

Utau ignored me and turned to Ikuto.

"How long have you been going out?" she asked.

Ikuto smirked. "Long."

She smiled. "What's her favorite color?"

"Red."

"Food?"

"Strawberries."

"That's a fruit!"

"Yes, but it still counts..."

"Animal?"

"Cat."

"WE ARE NOT GOING OUT!" I yelled.

"Aww, how can you say that? We slept in the same bed...."

"SH-SHUT UP!"

Ikuto pouted.

"Well, Yaya thinks we should go shoping! Well, bye bye Neko-kun!" Yaya shouted pulling me, Rima, Utau, and Nagi out the door.

She left Tadase.....

---Shopping Mall

"GET THIS ONE!"

"NO! NO, THIS ONE!"

"OOOHHH! UTAU! Tadase will llloooovvvveeee this one!" Rima teased.

"Shut up!" Utau blushed.

"This one has a bunny on it!" Yaya pointed out.

"That is WAY too reveling!" I pouted.

"Cute!" Naigshiko said.

"Amu! You naughty girl, Ikuto will adore this on you!" Utau smirked.

"NEVER!" I yelled.

"RIMA-TAN! NAGI WILL LIKE THIS ON YOU!" Yaya screamed.

"SHUT UP, YAYA! HE'S RIGHT THERE!" Rima yelled angerily.

"Oppsy daisy!" Yaya said.

"I'm the only boy!" Nagishiko whined.

"SUCK IT UP!" Utau screeched.

"Yaya-chan, why didn't you take Tadase-kun?" I qustioned.

"Tadase's a drag!" Yaya grined. "Beside, I thought that you liked Ikuto?"

"I don't. I don't like Tadase, either. Ikuto bugs me. Teases me. He doesn't like me...." I trailed off. I wish he did like me.

"But, Amu-chan, he does like you!" Utau told me.

"How do you know?" I snapped.

"I'm his sister, moran!"

"Oh, that's right..."

"Does he smell good?" Rima asked.

"What?" I asked, shocked.

"Does he smell good? Hot guys usually smell good." She shrugged.

"I guess... He smells like the night...." I blushed, remembering the smell.

"Why didn't you leave me at the gardain, Yaya?" Nagishiko asked.

"Cause!" she giggled.

"But you left Tadase and Ikuto!" he continued to whine.

"You don't count as a boy yet!"

This continued for an hour.

----(Pic's on profile!) Party

"No."

"Get out of there, or I'll make you, Amu!" Rima threanted.

"You're too small!"

"Why am I here?" a husky voice damended.

"To get Amu-chan out. Please?" Utau begged.

Shit.

It's Ikuto.

"Is she dressed?" Ikuto asked.

"Yes!" Rima, Yaya, Utau, and Nagishiko said together.

"Traders!" I hissed.

"Come on," Ikuto said, lifting me off my feet.

Oh, my God. He didn't even look at me.

"Ikuto...." I muttered.

"What?"

"Put me down...."

"Okay...."

When he put me down, I wrapped my arms around his neck, and kissed him.

I heard gasps around me, and felt Ikuto tense up.

I broke the kiss and looked him in the eyes.

"Thanks."

"For what?" he asked.

"Not looking."

He smirked. "Well, I am now and I must say, wow."

"Perv...." I blushed.

"How about another kiss? I liked that kiss."

"I did too...."

"You know what else I like?" he smirked.

"No, what?" I smiled.

"You."

And with that, he kissed me. And I kissed him back.

"I like you, too...."
