Disclaimer: I don't own Shugo Chara! Be nice though wouldn't it…

I finally know what I want… You.

Chapter 2 – Guilt and Realisation

"T-Tadase-kun… I…" she started. She had no idea what she was going to say… All she could do was stare into his big, violet coloured eyes. Guilt swept over her as he looked at her, a light blush painted across his features. He was smiling sweetly, and clearly he had put a lot of thought into his confession. How could she turn him down? He looked so adorable… Obviously the guilt was clear in her eyes as his smile faded and was replaced with a look of concern. "A-Amu-san? Are you okay?" he said quietly as his mind raced with worried thoughts. Amu giggled nervously and nodded. What was she going to say? She must look so stupid… Suddenly, Tadase smiled.

"Oh I get it!" cried Tadase happily, "You're shy, I should have realised, I was worried for a second!"

"Uh… T-Tadase-kun I…" Amu began, trying to find a way to let him down lightly. More importantly, she was trying to figure out why exactly she wanted to turn him down? He was supposed to be her high school sweetheart, why now did she decide she didn't want him?! Suddenly, Amu's thoughts were cut off abruptly as she noticed Tadase getting closer to her. Amu panicked, but as we all know, Amu doesn't cope well with pressure, so she did what she always did. She sat there blushing like an idiot and didn't move. Before she knew it, Tadase's lips were pressed against her own. Amu's eyes were wide and without thinking she roughly pushed him away. Tadase looked hurt, and another wave of guilt plagued Amu's body.

"Tadase-kun, I'm so sorry!" she said as tears formed in her honey coloured eyes. Tadase looked confused and stared intensely at the bright red girl in front of him. Amu looked at the floor and sighed.

"Tadase-kun, you're my bestest friend in the whole wide world, but… but I'm not sure I like you, that way…" she said miserably.

"Amu-san…" began the blonde teen, but then, he laughed. Amu stared up at him open mouthed, utterly confused.

"Wh-what?!" she cried out in frustration. Tadase stopped laughing, and looked at her with that sweet, princely smile of his.

"Amu it's okay… although I kinda wish you'd told me that before I kissed you… Awkward." he replied with an embarrassed smile. Amu grinned and hugged her friend tightly.

"I really am sorry Tadase, I feel like I just kicked a puppy…" said the pink haired girl.

Tadase laughed again and shyly hugged her back.

"It's okay, really! I'll be fine. Besides, I might even try getting closer to Rima-san…" Tadase replied, placing his finger to his bottom lip in thought. Amu narrowed her eyes.

"Over me already??" she said and pretended to sulk.

"Of coarse not Amu-san, I wish it was as easy as that…" he replied as his gaze fell to the ever so interesting floor once again. An awkward silence thickened the air.

"Hey… Amu-san?" Tadase said, breaking the silence.

"Mm?" she answered, avoiding his eyes as the guilt hadn't left her yet. He said he'd be okay, but she knew he was more hurt than he made out.

"We'll…still be best friends right? I'm afraid I've messed things up now…"

"No!" Amu said, interrupting him, "You haven't! You're still my best friend, nothing is gonna change."

Tadase gave her a relieved smile, suddenly, there was a knock at the door and Kukai appeared.

"Not interrupting anything am I?" he said with a playful wink.

"Umm…" Tadase said, scratching his head in a nervous manner as he and Amu looked at different sides of the room.

"Oh… my bad." said Kukai with his trademark "I've done something wrong, but I'm cute so it's okay" smile. It was just impossible to get mad at that guy…

"Kuuu-kaii!!!" moaned a tired Yaya, "I'm sleepyyy!!"

Kukai sighed and took the smaller teen in his arms as she snuggled into his chest. He grinned and watched his adorable girlfriend fall asleep.

"Ahem…" Tadase said as the atmosphere had gotten extremely awkward all of a sudden.

"Oh sorry!" said Kukai with a chuckle as he gave another famous smile, "Mind if I put Yaya-koi to bed?"

"Go for it" whispered Tadase as he and Amu got up and allowed Kukai to tuck Yaya into his bed. He pulled the covers up to her neck and kissed her on the forehead.

"So cute…" he mumbled to no one in particular. Amu smiled, Kukai and Yaya made a great couple. Yaya was beginning to grow out of her spoiled attitude and had definitely matured, however, she was still childish and innocent, but that just made her the Yaya everyone had grown to love. Amu admired the couple, as they had been going strong for over two years now, surprising really, seeing as Kukai was always surrounded by hot girl his own age that all adored him. They were more like fans though…

Amu snapped out of her trance as Kukai turned off the light and gestured for Tadase and herself to follow him downstairs to enjoy the rest of the party. Amu joined Rima and told her what had happened; explaining how guilty she felt, however, Rima wasn't the best person to ask for advice…

"Don't you think he looks like a girl?" she said quietly in her overly serious sounding voice. Amu stared at Rima in disbelief and hung her head. She should have expected that kind of answer from Rima to be honest…

Tadase on the other hand was getting much better advice from Kukai.

"Hey, don't sweat it. Who's to say she won't end up liking you again? And if not, there's tonnes of other girls that are dying to date you, I'm sure you'll be fine!" he said giving Tadase a friendly pat on the back.

"I guess…" said Tadase, but he was still a little gloomy. Amu really was something special. He looked over at the pink haired girl who was staring worriedly at Rima who was attempting to dance. He couldn't help but laugh… Clearly, Rima was a little tipsy and she really was a sight to see.

"Hey, Kukai? Reckon I've got a chance with Rima?" Tadase asked.

"I dunno, but there's only one way to find out! Get in there!" replied Kukai with a wink. Tadase grinned widely and made his way to the food table.

Amu arrived home at around half one in the morning. With a yawn, she lazily placed her things on her desk and slumped down on her bed.

"Ah… that was an awkward party…" she said to herself.

"Yeah… Well, night!" said her Shugo Chara's.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Amu cried, but before she could say anything more, the three girls had shut themselves in their eggs and were undoubtedly already fast asleep. Amu sighed, like they'd give any useful advice anyway…

Amu got changed into a pair of silk pyjamas and got into bed, but she didn't turn off her light. She couldn't sleep at a time like this; luckily it was summer break, so she didn't have to worry about getting up for school anytime soon. Amu decided to take this time to look over everything that had happened and maybe even come up with some answers. Why on earth would she say no to Tadase, TADASE?!?!

She now knew her feelings for him were nothing more than a simple school girl crush. She didn't want him at all, she just wanted that fairytale romance, and he was about the only one that showed true interest in her at that time. He wasn't right for her; he never really treated her the way that… wait! What was she saying? Ikuto's teasing smirk had wormed its way into her mind again!

'Do I like Ikuto?!?" thought Amu as her eyes widened in shock. He always teased her, yet a part of her always liked it… He always held her with that firm grip that made her feel so safe… He always caught her when she fell…

'Wait! Wait! This is ridiculous!' she thought, her stubborn side showing once more.

'Of coarse I don't like him! I'm just…um, rebounding! I figured out I don't like Tadase, so now my mind is playing tricks on me. Right?'

Amu was more confused than ever, but in the back of her mind, she kept thinking of Ikuto. She hadn't seen him for a while, she almost…missed him. She decided to ignore her stupid thoughts and think about it properly tomorrow; maybe her head would be a little clearer then.

Yeah, so that's Chapter 2! I'm feeling really creative, so I might just grab me some chocolate, a can of Coke and get writing Chapter 3 right now! It may be up tonight guys!

Anyway, REVIEW! :D And thanks for reading, by the way, for my fellow Ikuto lovers; he is definitely in the next chapter! Please tell me what you think though, I really liked this chapter ^^
