I'm BAAAAACCKKK! Whoo!

'kay now i apologize for not updating sooner, i had some creative ideas for new stories that i wanted to do.

and since i don't have a very good memory to remember i decided to write them IMMEDIATELY while they were fresh in my head.(:

Now that I'm done with them i can continue this, although i might switch back and fourth from this story to a new one that i want to write.

Im still a little iffy about the title though... :P ehh no need to worry right now.

Ikuto: shes going to force you.

OichiGal45: Lies! that's their own choice. They are called Draw with me, and OH NO'z! Its another parody.

Ikuto: wow the second one had a lame title.

Oichigal45: thanks for being nice.. ):

Ikuto: your welcome.

Oichigal45: Disclaimer?

Ikuto: Oichigal45 does not own Shugo chara or any of its characters. There happy?

Oichigal: what about the last part?

Ikuto: no.

Oichigal45: jerk. ): ill say it. Maybe Ikuto a little^-^ jk.

Ikuto: she will never own me.

Oichigal45: D:


Recap:

"Forever and Always my Amu" he said and jumped back into the trees and left without saying another word. Amu stood there for a moment and held the necklace with the tips of her fingers playing with it. She then questioned why would Ikuto just give her such a beautiful gift so sudden. Not even Tadase did that. Did Ikuto actually change his ways? But… *RING!
"Crap im late!" she said and once again ran back through the school grounds trying to reach her class.

X~x~X

Amu ran as fast she could so she wont get in trouble when- CRASH! Amu fell back as the impact of the crash .

"Ow!" she said rubbing her head.

"Hey watch where your going! " the person said. The voice almost sounded too familiar.

"I'm sorry I-" said Amu looking up to see who the person was. "Utau?"

"Amu?" the blonde said.

"I'm sorry Utau I just needed to get to class. I'm late." Amu said while dusting off her uniform.

"Oh, it's okay." said Utau. Something had caught her attention. "Nice necklace Amu" she said smiling.

"Thanks." said Amu. "Ikuto gave it to me," she said smiling warmly.

Utau looked confused and laughed nervously.

" You mean he mailed it to you?" she said still confused.

"No. He gave it to me. Just now before I bumped into you." said Amu using the same tone that Utau used.

Utau looked dumbfounded .

"Anyways I've better get going before Nikaidou gets mad at me." said the pinkette, and with that left.

Ikuto… is… Utau thought.

X~x~X

School had ended and it was after school with the guardian meeting. The four guardians sat in silence doing more paper work that had to be done. Tadase, of course, was doing all the writing, Nagihiko would approve it, sign it, and pass it on to Yaya to stamp. As for Rima and Amu they did little work.

"Tadase! This is boring." whined Yaya. "When are we going to talk about the fun stuff ! Like the dance!"

Tadase chuckled and approved. Everyone stopped what they were doing and joined in the conversation.

"Okay since the dance is in almost a week, we need to start assigning jobs." said Tadase.

"Fujisaki- san you and Rima will work together in creating posters." he said. Rima's eyes widened when she had to work with Nagihiko. Rima was about to burst out opposing that she refuses to work with the Nagihiko but Tadase cut her off.

"Hinamori-san and myself will be working on the guests." Amu blushed when she heard she will be working with Tadase.

"What does Yaya do?" interrupted Yaya.

" Okay Yaya since you're the most energetic out of all of us you can take care of decorations." said Tadase with a smile.

"Yay! Yaya gets to do the fun stuff." she exclaimed, which led everyone to laugh a little.

"Hey Amu-chi, has anyone asked you to the dance yet?" said Yaya.

"Yaya!" yelled Amu.

Amu looked over to Tadase who was turning a shade of pink and looked away. Amu hung her head down shamelessly.

"Well.." asked Yaya curiously.

Amu though of the night when Tadase walked her home and asked her to the dance. She couldn't possibly tell her about Tadase asking her because Amu knew she would make a big deal about it. She'd rather stay quiet.

"Well.. Umm.. No. No one has asked me yet." said Amu quietly still looking down. Amu knew that she was lying right through her teeth and to make it worse, right in front of Tadase. She didn't want to embarrass him but Amu didn't want to lie either.

"Either way, Yaya, I don't think I'm going." said Amu.

"Aww, Amu-chi why not?" whined Yaya.

"Yeah, Amu you have to come with us." Rima said joining in.

"I- I have something planned that day anyway, I'm sorry. " said Amu continuing her chain of lies.

Rima and Yaya looked down in disappointment.

"But I can help you guys pick out a nice dress…" said Amu quickly.

The girls looked up with happiness in their eyes.

"Really?" they said in unison.

"Sure." said Amu giving them a warm smile.

X~x~X

After the guardians meeting was over the three girls decided to walk home together. There was an awkward silence among them, but it didn't last long.

"Rima-chi has anyone asked you to the dance?" said Yaya in her cheery voice.

Rima blushed.

"N-No!" she stammered. This caused Yaya to giggle.

"I bet Nagi would like to ask you." she said teasingly.

"Yaya!" said Rima looking like she was about to kill Yaya.

"What? He likes you so, I bet he's going to take you."

Rima kept turning more red by each passing second.

"Well, it is true Rima, you two have been connecting lately." said the pinkette.

Rima was redder than ever.

"There is absolutely no way I like that cross-dressing freak!"

"Oh come on Rima-chi. Admit that you do like Nagi." said Yaya.

"I'll admit it when pigs fly." she said mockingly crossing her arms in front of her chest.

The girls continued walking home when they heard their names being called out behind them.

"Amu! Rima! Yaya!" the voice yelled. They all turned around to see it was Utau calling out to them.

"Hey Utau." the girls said together.

"Hi guys," she said smiling to them, "Can I talk Amu for a bit." she asked.

"Oh yeah sure, we need to get home anyways, see you Amu." said Rima.

"Bye-Bye," yelled Yaya from the distance.

"So what's up Utau?" said Amu smiling.

"Umm.. Its about when I talked to you earlier today about your necklace, when you said Ikuto gave it you…" said Utau cutting herself off.

"Yeah, Ikuto gave it to me."

"Ikuto's.. here?" she said.

Amu gave Utau a confused look. " You didn't know?" asked Amu.

Utau looked down. "No," she said.

"Bu-but he must of come home right?" asked Amu once again.

"No," said Utau still not looking up.

"Bu-" Amu stopped when Utau grabbed her shoulders.

"Amu! He hasn't come home. He hasn't been home for three years and now when you say that he's here in town .." said Utau.

"It worries me." she said quietly her tears rolling down her cheeks.

" Utau…" said Amu "He cant just come back and not want to see you. He really cares about you, your family. Don't worry he cant just leave you."

"I hope so. Thanks Amu." said Utau and with that left home.

X~x~X

Amu reached her house and went upstairs to wash up for dinner when she noticed the necklace that Ikuto had given her that morning. She held it with her fingertips admiring how beautiful and sparkly it was. She remembered the last words her said to her… Forever and Always, Amu. What did he mean by that? It didn't really matter at the moment but when his words buzzed around her head all day they became more meaningful.

After dinner, Amu went to her balcony and looked up at the stars. They were so bright and twinkly at anyone could get lost just by looking at them. Amu sighed and closed her eyes to wonder why she became so fond of Ikuto, why every time she was around him butterflies would flutter in her stomach, why she would act so nervously and innocent. Even though Amu couldn't find the right answers in the stars, no but in her heart. Amu fell into bed with Ikuto's words still in her head "Forever and Always, Amu ; Forever and Always."
