(Started this on March 18, 2009; just doing this to benefit me and some interesting facts about when I type my chapters)
I AM SO SORRY FOR ALL MY LATE UPDATES!!! T.T *bows before all my readers* But I've been pretty busy lately so please bear with me. I'm trying as best as I can. But holy crap! It's been almost four months!!! O.O Today, I saw this document and I was like "Holy shit! I have to type this before it hits four months before I last updated!" And I started this on March 18, 2009. Wow, it's been two months since I last touched this document :O
But sadly, I lost some of my motivation for this story T.T That's why I'm trying to finish this story and make it the best of the best! :D And I have one idea in mind that I can't wait to type but that'll appear in the later chapters -_-
And just to remind you, this story isn't COMPLETELY like Twilight. I may change some vampire traits and add mine own or simply take away some. And I'll probably change some qualities of the people so it's more Shugo Chara like. You'll see ;P Hope that didn't burst your bubble ;P And my idea applies to "not-vampire-original-trait" so yea… But it's Amuto so I think you guys will love it ^^ I hope…
And if I made some mistakes about the cell cycle or whatever, I'm sorry. But you know, I haven't even learned interphase, prophase, or something else, so yea :P
First off, I would like to thank my awesome reviewers! I'm impressed I got so many O.O Almost 100! :O Hope it's 100 soon ^^:

X-x-Flashback of Chapter 3-x-X
I sat down in homeroom like my usual routine. I was becoming more used to this school. I don't get lost anymore and I've made a lot of friends. I've also spoke to Kukai and he's a cheery guy. Nagihiko is quiet but nice. Utau has done nothing but ignore me and shoot daggers towards my way. Rima said not to worry and that's her natural personality but I wonder if she's telling the truth or not…
I began to doodle on my notebook, waiting for Nikaidou to come in the classroom. He's always tardy and he always seems to have a case of bedhead.
Rima was doodling—probably some fashion designs—in front of me. I saw her sketches yesterday and they were amazing. They were gorgeous and perfect for teenagers. She offered to give me some of her clothes but I said I was good.
I heard metal scratching against the floor. A chair was being moved next to me. I looked up and my heart stopped completely.
Amethyst eyes stared back into mine. Standing up in front of the side of his chair was the guy that was absent for days.
"Tsukiyomi-san…?"
X-x-End of Flashback-x-X
Questions, Dress Up, and Ice
Amu's POV
"Tsukiyomi-san…?" I whispered, surprised that he is here, in this room, right in front of me.
"Yo."
I practically melted from his gaze and his velvety voice. Tsukiyomi-san sat down next to me and remained quiet.
"Where were you?" I asked, curiously but at the same time, scared.
"Sick," he replied, with a one-word answer.
"Oh," was all I could say. But him getting sick? That seems likely and unlikely at the same time. If he was like Rima, then he would have icy skin too. It would be ironic to have a fever when you look like you have hypothermia. It's possible though since there are dark circles under his eyes—or were . Did he get more sleep or something? There's barely any circles under his eyes and his eyes were…amethyst. Last time I remember, there were dark, dark blue. "You look better. You don't really have any more circles under your eyes and your eyes itself seem brighter. Purple instead of blue."
He froze slightly but distractedly responded. "Yea, I do feel a bit better."
"Ne, Amu, it's official that I'm coming at 11 tomorrow right?" Rima asked.
"That's the plan."
"Great." She smiled angelically. I blushed at her smile. Rima looked like a true model by just sitting there. I felt intimidated by her beauty.
Nikaidou-sensei came in and clapped his hands for our class' attention.
He discussed about our grade going on field trip in March. It was a beach in this town actually. There's fancy hotel there too. We were going to be there for 3 nights and 4 days. We would also do other activities as well such as hiking, rope climbing, and all sorts of other stuff. But now that Nikaidou-sensei mentioned it, aren't I going there next Saturday with Daichi and everyone else?
Girls in my class were so excited since there was a beach involved.
"Rima, are you going to go on this trip?"
"Um, I think I'll stay here."
"What?? But why?"
"I don't go well with the sun," she answered with a something in her eyes. It's as if there was a double meaning to that.
"But we get to explore the forest and maybe hike! There's no sun there," I reasoned.
"Maybe…" she said uncertainly. "I'll think about it."
After the bell rang to signal the end of the first period, I gathered my books.
Another weird thing I noticed about Tsukiyomi-san. Two things actually.
One, he didn't leave in a hurry as usual.
Two, he didn't sit on the edge of his seat today.
He acted…normal to me.
"Are you going to go on the trip, Amu?"
"I'm not sure, Daichi. It's the same one we're going next week, right?"
"Yep." He flashed a smile towards me.
He opened the door for me and I walked into room 307.
Bio wasn't my favorite subject. It bores me. I prefer English more. However, the teacher can actually and that's a plus. Some teachers from my old school can't teach bio at all and it annoyed me. Another good thing is that I have many friends in this period. For instance, Rima. Good thing Suzuki-sensei put me behind her so I won't feel awkward or alone. But he also stuck me next to Tsukiyomi-san. Is that a good or bad thing?
"Hi again."
I turned to my right and saw Tsukiyomi-san facing me with his alluring purple eyes.
"Hey," I greeted back, holding back a blush.
"So how do you Yakushima?" Is he trying to start a conversation? That's a first.
"I like it a lot," I lied.
"I highly doubt that. You're so easy to read." I held back a blush and kept my cool. I didn't expect that. And was I really easy to read? I thought my "Cool 'n Spicy" façade did the trick. But I guess it doesn't work with him.
"Is that so?" I coolly asked. He nodded.
Suzuki-sensei then called for our attention. Turns out we were doing a lab today. Our partners were the person we were sitting next to so I guess that means I'm stuck with Tsukiyomi-san. Should I be happy or sad?
The class began to work when we received our necessary equipment. The class was filled with chatter here and there.
We were supposed to identify the many phases of the cell cycle and mitosis under a microscope. Oh joy.
"Why did you move here?" Tsukiyomi-san asked suddenly. I stopped scribbling my answer. I looked up and he was watching me with curiosity and alertness.
"Why does it matter?" I shot back, not in anger but with interest.
"It matters in every way."
"How?" I probed. Now I was super curious as to what he was going to say next. Tsukiyomi-san opened his mouth to speak but unfortunately, Suzuki-sensei came over to our table. Ah, darn it! Couldn't he have come later? I inwardly sighed.
"Hinamori-san? Tsukiyomi-san? I don't mind you talking but please work at the same time."
"We were having a heated discussion on whether or not this is an anaphase or interphase. We couldn't decide which phase it was. I think that it may be an interphase but Amu thought differently." I was surprised at how smoothly he lied. And the way he said my name… It sounded wonderful, coming from his voice.
"Did you check in your books?"
"Yes, but we still do not know."
"Let me take a look."
He looked under the microscope and scanned the cells for about a minute. He lifted his up to answer our "question."
"It's an anaphase. Nice work, Hinamori-san," Suzuki-sensei. I nodded. He left our table and I faced Tsukiyomi-san.
"Hope you don't mind me calling you by my first name," he said. I shook my head.
"You knew all along that it was an anaphase, didn't you?" He smirked. This time, I did blush. Who wouldn't? His face was simply gorgeous and it made my heart melt. "You could've said that you thought it was an anaphase."
"What if I didn't want to?"
"I don't like taking credit from someone else's work."
He smirked. "You're a strange one."
My cheeks flushed. "Well, sorry for being strange." I then went back to work. I heard him chuckle lightly. His laugh sounded like low bells.
Tsukiyomi-san was pretty good at bio. He's not the smartest student but he answered all the questions pretty quickly. After 10 minutes of silence between us, I answered his question from before. He'll probably ask me again and besides, I want to see his reaction.
"I wanted my mom to spend more time with my stepdad. To do that, I am living with my dad here in Yakushima," I muttered, writing the answer to the last question of this lab. I wonder if he heard that though because I spoke inaudibly.
"That's very generous of you." I guess he did hear it. I brought my head up and he had a subtle smile plastered on his face.
"It's natural to do that."
"That may be, but you don't like this town."
I didn't answer.
"You would go that far for your mother?"
"Why are you acting different today?" I asked, trying to avoid the subject with my being here. I didn't want to go in depth with Tsukiyomi-san. After all, I just met him this week and he hates me one day and then the next, he's nice to me! "You're like bipolar or something. You hated me to the extent that you would change classes to avoid me and today, you're all nice! Why?"
"It's because of your effect on me."
"Huh?" Now I'm confused. What effect did I have on him? "Explain please." The bell then rang. Damn, what bad timing!
"See you…Amu." And he was gone.
Tsukiyomi Ikuto is indeed the strangest and most handsome person I have met.
School was finally over. I strolled through the parking lot and to my truck. I opened the door and got in. I let out a breath of exhaustion. Today was so confusing! I couldn't stop thinking about what Tsukiyomi-san said.
The corners of my mouth lifted. At least it's the weekend tomorrow and Rima is coming over, too.
I turned the ignition on and started to drive. Before I got out of the blacktop, I saw Tsukiyomi-san staring directly at me.
I woke up at 9:00 sharp. In two hours, Rima would be here at the front door. I got up and did my daily routine. After that, I whipped up some pancakes and munched on them happily. Turns out Tsumugu already left for fishing with Hotori-san.
At 10:00, I tidied up the house to make it look nice.
The doorbell rang at approximately 11:00. I sprang up from the sofa and rushed to the door. I hastily opened it and there was Rima, who was smiling. She was also carrying a bag. I wonder what it's for…
"Hey, Rima."
"Hi, Amu."
I let her in and her graceful walk next to mine made me look like an awkward penguin.
"Your house is very nice."
"Thanks."
"Where's your dad?"
"He's fishing with Hotori Yui."
"Ah, the Hotoris." Her expression turned dark.
"Do you know the Hotoris?"
"Yes, I do."
"Are you friends with them?"
" 'Friends' isn't the word that describes our relationship to them."
I gave her a confused look. Were they enemies? She then smiled.
"Never mind that. Guess what I brought?" She raised the bag she was holding so I could peek in the bag. It was full of clothes and a digital camera lay on top of it all.
"What are the clothes for?"
She grinned. "Up for a game of dress up?"
"What?!" I screamed.
She grinned even higher. "Earlier this week, I asked if you wanted to try on some of my clothes but you said no. Then the company I work at told me to have pictures of a person modeling in my clothes. I instantly thought of you." She grinned even wider. I gaped. "Besides, I want to see how you look in my clothes. I bet you'll look like a supermodel!"
"R-Rima, why not Utau?"
"I didn't ask her yet because I wanted you to be the model for my clothes. Besides, Utau's in a lot of magazines. People need a change once in a while. Please?" She clapped her hands together and made a puppy face. I stepped. I was vulnerable to this face and I hated that I was. I sighed. There's no way I can wiggle out of this situation.
"Fine."
"Thank you so much, Amu!" She pounced on me and hugged me. I laughed and hugged her back.
"What shampoo did you use, Amu? It smells really nice." I pushed Rima back.
"Strawberry."
"I should use that some time."
Rima ordered me to go to the bathroom. She tossed me an outfit and I quickly changed into them. I came out of the door and Rima squealed.
"You look so cute, Amu!"
I blushed. "T-Thanks."
The outfit was simple yet adorable and sexy. I had on a red tube top with a white pleated miniskirt. Black flats adorned my feet and my bangs were pushed back with my red X clip. Rima applied some light makeup and gave me a bracelet with the frame of a heart as the charm. This looks like it was white gold or something. I wonder how much this outfit was…
"Pose for me, Amu! I'm going to take a picture of you."
"E-Eh? But I don't know how to! What pose do you want me to do?"
"It doesn't matter. Any pose is fine. Just have fun and go with the feeling you get from the clothes."
"Ok…" I was unsure of what to do. I did the common pose and that was placing my right hand on my hip while putting my left leg out a bit to the left. Rima snapped a shot and then I did the pose on the opposite side.
"You're doing great, Amu!" I highly doubt that.
The next outfit was a chiffon dress that was a bit revealing. You could see some cleavage but it wasn't like a slut type of clothing. Thank god Tsumugu isn't here. He'd probably have a heart attack from all these "revealing" clothing.
The dress sort of looked like a halter top combined with a skirt. There was an ivory ribbon tied around my waist with a bow on it on my right side. I had on a pair of open-toe black stilettos. This time, I had side bangs with an ivory headband placed on my head. The silver diamonds were dangling from my earrings. This time, the charm on my bracelet was a diamond. I twirled around. The wispy dress swayed with me. I love this dress! It was dark blue—the color of Tsukiyomi-san's eyes when I first met him. I shook head. Why am I thinking of him?
This went on for two hours. I forced Rima to dress up too since it was her clothes and I wanted to see how she would look in them. Some didn't fit since I was bigger than her but Rima managed. She looked like a goddess.
"That was fun." I smiled at Rima. She beamed back.
"It was. And you can have the clothes."
"What?? But I can't! They're yours."
"They're yours now." She shoved the bag to me and I took it from her.
"Thanks a bunch, Rima!"
"No problem. Can we go to your room next?"
"Sure."
We walked up the stairs and I opened the door on my right. We plopped down on my bed and we laid down.
"Your room is really nice."
"Not really. It's just normal." It had pale, pale pink walls with frames on it. My bed had q pink quilt. Nothing special, really. I want to come over to Rima's house but she said they were renovating it. I was upset. I wanted to see how her house and room looked like.
Rima and I had a conversation for about half an hour and then I asked her if she was hungry. She said no, but I was starving. She told me I could fix up something for me to eat.
"Are you sure? You don't have to be shy. Just tell if you want something to eat or not."
"I'm good. I don't eat that much, anyways." A sparkle in my eyes told me that there was a double meaning to her sentence.
We went outside and walked around the neighborhood for a bit. Before I knew it, it was 5:45 p.m.
"I should get going."
"Ok." I frowned. I didn't want this day to end.
"I had a lot of fun. Thanks for letting me come over."
"You're welcome. And thanks for the clothes."
We bid farewell and she left. At 6:15, Tsumugu came home. I made dinner for him and he asked me about Rima. I said that we had fun. Afterwards, I took a shower to refresh myself. I did some homework and snuggled in my warm bed. It was getting cold lately. But good thing there'll be sunshine next weekend.
I dozed off. However, I thought I heard a sound coming from the window in the middle of the night. Must've been my imagination.
Monday's here and I am not looking forward to it. Outside was all wet and the ground was cover with a thin layer of ice and some snow. Many people of Seiyo High were happy because they were planning for a snowball fight. Whoop dee doo.
I bolted down the stairs and ate some cereal. I was running late today and that's not good. I ran outside and I regretted doing that. I slipped and fell on my bottom and man, did that hurt! I picked myself up and I walked—carefully this time—to my pickup truck. I detected snow chains on my tires. Tsumugu must've attached them to the tires. I smiled. That was really sweet of him.
I arrived at school with 5 minutes to spare. As expected, people were having snowball fights. I ducked, trying not to get hit in the face by one. Once I was well away from the crowd, I let out a sigh of relief.
A screeching noise broke through the chatter. Everyone had horrified expressions on their faces. I turned to my right and a swiveling car was heading towards the crowd. Scratch that, its target is me!
I couldn't move. My feet were glued to the ground. My whole body went numb. Is this what people felt upon seeing a car—or anything—plunging right at them?
It was too late now. The car was approaching me at top speed and I couldn't do anything about it.
A few screams filled the air.
I didn't blink. I couldn't. The car must've been 3 yards from me now. This is it.
I then felt a force push me to my left. I hit my head on something and it was throbbing. But the most surprising thing was that I wasn't a flattened pancake. I was alive. Another thing was that I was on top of something soft. I closed my eyes at some point of time so I opened them again.
Violet irises bore into my amber ones.
Tsukiyomi Ikuto just saved my life.
"Ikuto…"
End of Chapter
Finally finished!!! I'm so happy ^^ And I'm really sorry that it was such a late update T.T The next update will probably be for "With You" or "Save Me" so look out for that! Or maybe it'll be a one-shot I'm typing right now. It's called "Surprises at a Masquerade Ball" but I may change the title. I was inspired by episode 83 and fuyumaiden wanted a fanfic of Rima and Nagihiko dancing so I'm like, why not? But you know, it's turning into a fanfic with Amuto as the main pairing -_- I'll try to put in as much Rimahiko as I can but I'm so used to Amuto.
And did you guys notice something? I didn't put any author's notes in the chapter!! :D I read on xx Gwenno Station's profile (check out her stories, it's awesome!) and read her pet peeves. She hates it when people writing notes in the chapters and I'm like "Oops." So I resisted the urge to do that in this chapter XD
Also, if you haven't, read the story, "A Battle with the Hottest Guy", read it because it's super fantastic! I don't think the story received enough reviews and it really is an excellent story. I highly recommend it. The author is ayanika1218. However, the person who wrote the story is her friend. But she posted the story up and replaced the names with the names of the characters of Shugo Chara :D Don't forget to review her story ;)
And I finished this right when my playlist of 44 songs ended O.O It took me three hours to type 7 pages??? Man, I'm really slow -_-
I hope you enjoyed this chapter XD
Review? =)
