Yuki- Okay, so I've been listening to BoA, and I've been a fan of hers ever since '04. It just irks me to see that someone like her isn't as famous as people like Lady Gaga or Justin Beiber. I mean, sure they're talented I guess, but BoA is too.

I guess it's just really hard for Asians to make it in America. So much for me wanting to be a singer. -DREAMS CRUSHED- But there's still hope, because the group, Far East Movement, and their G6 song is pretty popular. Haven't heard it? Well go check it out.

BUT NOT NOW. I still have a chapter below remember? D:

Oh, and there's another song in this chapter. No, there won't be a song in EVERY chapter, just this one, and then the next will be song free. I PROMISE.

Enjoy.


I don't own Shugo Chara! in any way.
I also don't know any songs used in these chapters.
The only thing I own is the story and the name of the band.

Ikuto-16 - Kukai-16

Utau-15 - Yaya-14

Rima-15 - Nagihiko-16

Tadase-15 - Kairi-15

Nadeshiko-15 - Rikka-14

Amu-15


:Moon Dexterity:

After her first day of school, Amu headed straight for her bed at the mansion. Kukai followed in pursuit. Amu grumbled as she glared at him.

"Kukai, why are you in my bed?"

"Because it's your fault that we're in this mess. And since I can't take my exhaustion out on you, because you'll kick my ass, I'm gonna take it out on your bed." he grumbled. Amu rolled her now sapphire eyes.

She sat up as she ripped her blue wig off of her head. Her silky pink hair fell on her shoulders. Then she took out the sapphire contacts revealing her golden eyes. "It really takes a lot out of you to be normal." she said with a sigh. But then her lips curled up into the most genuine smile she's had in a year.

"But it was a lot of fun."

Kukai looked at Amu with a spark in his eye. He's never seen such a smile in ages. He chuckled as he gave her a hug. "Glad that you're havin' fun." he said with his own smile. Amu laughed slightly. "Now go take your crap off. We gotta get ready for the stupid meeting with Aruto Tsukiyomi." she demanded.

Kukai did what was told, and left her room.

Amu was left alone with her thoughts. School changed since she left. But then again, she was in middle school. She's in high school now. A Sophomore to be exact.

Utau was also a very nice girl. She showed her around, and even introduced her to some friends. She was humble, even though she was so beautiful.

Now Ikuto. He's a different story. He teases a lot, he's quiet around every other student but her, what was up with that? Was he trying to piss her off?

But that aside, she still needed to get ready for the meeting. Nikaidou said something about dressing respectfully. So she was gonna try to do just that.

:Moon Dexterity:

"Hinamori-san... What are you wearing?" Nikaidou asked as his eye twitched. Amu shrugged. "Something respectful."

What Amu had on, was a white T-shirt that said, "I'll Eat You Up", that showed some of her stomach, light brown cargo pants, and converse. Everyone sweat dropped. Kukai was the first to speak.

"Well. Let's go!" He grabbed Amu's arm and walked towards the limo. Nagihiko and Nadeshiko were right behind them, Nikaidou being last. He locked the door.

On the way there, Amu took some food from the limo fridge. Nikaidou kept on telling her to stop because they were going to eat there, but Amu still snuck a few. Kukai did the same. Nagihiko was tyring to cover up for them, and Nadeshiko was laughing at the scenery.

She really did have some weird friends.

When they arrived, Amu looked up at the mansion before her. She looked at it boredly. "Are you sure that this is a mansion? It's so small..."

"Hinamori-san..." Nikaidou warned.

"What? I'm just sayin'." she stated as she walked up to the door. Everyone sighed as they followed her.

"Welcome, Hinamori-sama." the butler said politely as she trailed in and went straight to the couch. Kukai followed right after her. Everyone else greeted him nicely, and sat on the couch as well.

Soon after, the owner of the mansion, Aruto Tsukiyomi walked in. "Welcome, Hinamori Amu-san."

Amu nodded as she straightened up. The only reason she was doing so, was because if she didn't behave, Nikaidou would take away her combat boots for a month. And she wouldn't want that.

"Ts-Tsukiyomi-san." she forced out. She wasn't used to calling people by their last names with honorifics. Aruto smiled as he sat down on the chair in front of her. "My children will be with us shortly for dinner. After that, we can get down to business."

Amu grumbled inwardly. She just wanted to get this over with. At first, she thought that they would only have the meeting and then boom they were done, and ready to go home. She had no idea until they got there that they were staying for dinner as well. She was gonna get Nikaidou back for this later. She made a mental note of that, and said,

"I didn't know you had children, Tsukiyomi-san." she was still having trouble with the honorifics. Aruto chuckled. "Yes, a son and a daughter. My son, the oldest is sixteen, and my daughter is fifteen."

Amu nodded as he continued on. But she wasn't really paying attention. Until she heard the front door open, and in walked guess who?

Amu's eyes widened. And she knew without even looking that Kukai's were wide too. There, they both saw Ikuto and Utau Tsukiyomi.

I knew his last name sounded familiar! Thought Amu, as she stood up to "greet" the two teens before her. Utau caught sight of Amu and squealed. "Amu-sama-! I mean, Amu!" she exclaimed, remembering that Amu told her to call her as such. Amu smiled at her. "Hello, Utau. It's nice to see you again." she said nicely and calmly.

She didn't know why, but just seeing Utau made her feel at ease. Aruto looked at them confused. "You met before?" he asked. Amu shrugged sheepishly. Might as well be honest.

"Well, you see, I decided to... go somewhere after one of our concerts," she looked at Ikuto quickly then looked back. "And while I was out, I bumped into Utau. My hair was falling out of my hoodie, and she recognized me."

Nikaidou looked at Amu, and rolled his eyes. He wasn't surprised the slightest bit. But then, he looked at Aruto, wondering if it offended him or not. All he got from Aruto was a chuckle.

"I see. You must be pretty rebellious then." he stated. Amu twitched. She remembered that this meeting had to go well. "It's not like I do it all the time or anything! I just needed some air..." she ended lamely. Aruto put his hands up. "It's okay, Hinamori-san. We all need to breathe every once and a while."

Amu sighed of relief. She liked this guy. He was alright in her book.

She looked over at Ikuto. He looked like he had no interest at all in what was going on. Amu felt a pinge of hurt. He really didn't like Moon Dexterity at all, did he? He sure looks like he doesn't. Amu sighed as she walked over to him. Since he was gonna be cold towards the band, Amu was gonna be cold towards him as well.

No more mystery girl for Ikuto. She was done with that.

She walked over to him, and held out her hand for him to shake. "Nice to meet you, Tsukiyomi-san." she grumbled.

Ikuto noticed that she didn't want to even look at him. Her eyes were averted to the left, and she had a pout on her lip. He smirked unconsciously as he grabbed her hand. "Nice to meet you... Amu." he said as he emphasized the name.

Amu scoffed. There he goes being Ikuto again. She pulled her hand back. "Uh huh." Then she looked at Utau. "Care to show me your room?" she asked nicely. She needed to stay away from Ikuto at all costs. Utau smiled.

"Sure!"

And they were off.

Ikuto stood at the bottom of the stairs, surprised. Another girl rejected his charm? Is the world coming to an end?

"Yo!"

He looked over to Kukai, the drummer. Ikuto nodded towards him as he lazily sat on the couch. "Yo."

"I heard that you dissed our band. Not cool, man." Kukai said with a chuckle as he sat down next to him. Ikuto looked at him questioned. "How did you know that?"

Kukai froze. He heard that in school. "Erm... Your old man told me." he stated lamely. Ikuto shrugged it off. "Okay then."

"But seriously, how come you don't like us?" he asked. Ikuto scoffed. "Please. I barely know you. Why should I tell you?"

Kukai let it go for now. But he had a little something planned for Ikuto tomorrow at school.

As Nikaidou went to the kitchen to meet Arutos' wife, and Ikuto and Utaus' mother, Nagihiko and Nadeshiko went to explore the house. It was a very nice place to live in, indeed. They couldn't help but to stumble into the music room.

They saw nothing but violins. It was amazing. There had to be more than fifty of them, at the least.

It was time to be called down to dinner, and Amu grew more nervous by the second. What if Ikuto finds her out? He can't be that smart. When Amu sat down for dinner with Utau on her right, and Kukai on her left, Ikuto sat right in front of her. He stared intently at her, making her more nervous by the second.

"So, Hinamori-san," Aruto shook her out of her reverie. Amu looked at him with a subtle look on her face. He smiled. "I am very elated to have you on our cast in our new movie. What convinced you to confirm with me that you'll be a part of this project?"

Amu caughed slightly as she played with her spinach with her fork. He smiled at him before answering. She did promise to behave after all.

"Well, Tsukiyomi-san, I thought I could extend my horizon if I proceed with this particular project. I've always had a small passion for acting, and you being the successful man you are, this would be the perfect opportunity for such an attainment."

Kukai looked at her along with the rest of the band. Who knew that she had such a vocabulary? Aruto nodded. "That's understanding. Well I'm glad that you decided this."

After dinner, Amu walked to the living room to find no one there. They were all out back, meeting, and socializing with each other. So she took this oppurtunity to get her guitar out of the limo, and play a little.

Ikuto left the backyard, when he noticed that Amu was no where to be found. How boring. But wait. Why was he so stuck on her now? Is he going to feel like this towards every girl that turns him down, and/or acts cold towards him? He sure hopes not.

As he walked around the house, in hopes to find something to do. When he couldn't find some entertainment, he walked towards the living room. As he got closer, he heard a faint melody that got louder and louder as he got closer.

The crescendo increased as he finally made it to his destination, he saw the source of the beautiful melody. It was Amu, playing a song.

It was the same piece that she played before. The one with no lyrics. The one that was dedicated to Ikuto, and still is. Her eyes were closed shut, and she had a smile on her face.

Why couldn't she play this at one of her concerts? Ikuto would have enjoyed it, if she did. The way her fingers strummed the thin strings, the way she hummed slightly along with it. It was so uncanny.

Ikuto was ascertain. He knew the kind of music she could make. Why did it always have to be hardcore with her? Why did she always have a cold attitude?

As Ikuto walked in, Amu quickly stopped. She looked at him, as her golden eyes took his breath away, but only slightly. Ikuto joined in on the staring contest.

Those eyes... He thought, as everyone walked in. Both of their heads snapped up as the band, the manager, and Ikuto's father piled in. Aruto looked at Amu and sat down on the couch infront of her.

"Hinamori-san, why do you have your guitar?"

"I just thought that I would play a little while I wait for the meeting."

Everyone made an understanding expression as Ikuto left the room. To him, this was just boring business as usual. But still...

He just couldn't get those eyes out of his head.

"So, where shall we begin?" Nikaidou asked as he took out his briefcase. Amu put her guitar back in her case, as she tried her best to listen closely to the conversation.

"Well let's start with the setting. We're all going to America, that's a for sure thing. And I know for a fact that we'll be gone for at least year."

Amu choked on her spit. "What? A whole year?" Aruto put his hand up, indicating that she needs to calm down. "It will go by before you know it, Hinamori-san."

"Nikaidou, I need to talk to you. NOW." She grabbed his arm forcefully, and walked out into the hallway. "What the fuck man. A whole year? Are you kidding me?" She made sure to whisper, so the others weren't disturbed.

Amu only cussed this much when she was extremely out of sorts or just really angry. Nikaidou knew this, and tried to calm her down. "Like Tsukiyomi-san said, it'll go by before you know it."

"FUCK NO." she spat. "I will not go to America for a whole year, and not being able to see my friends."

"You weren't as against it before..."

"Because I thought I was going to be in the same country! I'm going to a different continent! All the way across the world! You know how hard that would be for me? I wouldn't be able to see my father for a whole fucking year!" She tried her hardest not to yell. She would be crying right now, but her pride got the better of her. She would never be caught dead tearing up. Especially in front of of someone. Nikaidou looked down solemnly. He knew he would have to remind her of why she became famous in the first place.

"I thought you agreed to this whole matter because of Tsumugu?" he stated quietly. Amu flinched as she remembered. She hung her head down, as her pink bangs covered her golden eyes.

"I thought you promised not to bring this up again..."

"I only did because you're letting your pride get the better of you again. You know that Tsumugu is a friend of mine, and I don't want to see him in the state he was before Moon Dexterity got exposed. And I know that you don't want to either." Nikaidou walked closer to Amu, and hugged her tight.

"You know I only want what's best for you, and him. We all want it."

Amu kept her arms at her sides. Her head was still hanging down. After her mother left, her father quit his job. They grew almost dirt poor. Amu tried her best to make money by performing at local parks, or clubs. But it wasn't enough. They were evicted several times, and forced to live at her grandmothers house.

But after performing at Amu's friend's sister's birthday party, she was discovered by Nikaidou. She obtained more and more money. And before she knew it, her and the band became insanely famous. Tsumugu lives in a a nice house in Kyoto, while Amu lives in Tokyo with Moon Dexterity. She visits him every other weekend.

She knew that he would be happy just as long as she kept going.

She looked up at Nikaidou. He looked at her contently, knowing that she remembered why she was doing all of this in the first place. She sighed.

"All right. I get it. You win." Nikaidou smiled as she grabbed her hand.

They walked back to the living room, and got on with the meeting. But not before Amu breathed in and out slowly.

:Moon Dexterity:

After the meeting, Aruto asked to keep the band and Nikaidou for a while longer, but they politely declined. Amu and Kukai had school tomorrow, and they had homework to do.

Nikaidou sighed. "I don't see why we had to leave. It's only seven-thirty. Why were you so pushy to go home?" he asked, referring to Amu. When she was about to answer, Kukai stepped ahead.

"Because me and Hinamori got home-" Amu elbowed him in the stomach, as she scowled. He really is the biggest dummy on the planet sometimes. Nikaidou looked at the coughing Kukai confused. Amu sweat dropped as she saved themselves once again.

"Homesick. That's what he was trying to say. Right, Kukai?" She glared at him. He nodded, with a strained expression. Nikaidou shrugged.

As Ikuto watched Amu and the others walk to the limo, his mind scattered all over the place. From what he heard, Amu wasn't just an ordinary girl.

"I thought you agreed to this whole matter because of Tsumugu?"

Right. He heard all of it. What happened? But why did he take the time to even care? He walked away from the window, and to his room. He needed to stop himself. There was something clearly wrong with him, if he was thinking about the lead singer to the band he hated. If he hated the band, then that means that he hated her too.

Right?

But on the other hand, he did hear her potential to make beautiful music. And never really paid attention to the words of her songs. He just thought of it as reckless noise. Even his sister would always say, "You always say the music is bad. But you never say anything about the words. Why don't you just give it a chance and actually listen? You might learn a thing or two." He sighed. Should he really take time to listen to something like that?

He looked at his door. Right across from him was Utau. And what was Utau doing at this very moment? Listening to a Moon Dexterity CD of course. He thought about it for a moment. He could plummet to his bed so he can get a much needed rest and get the whole ordeal out of his head.

Or...

"Uhm... Utau?"

Utau looked up to see her brother walk in her room. She rolled her eyes.

"What is it Ikuto? I'm trying to do homework." She paused her iPod. Ikuto looked slightly uncomfortable as he shifted his feet.

"I was just wondering something. I was thinking about what you told me, and..." he ruffled his hair.

Utau couldn't help herself but to smirk. This was just priceless. "I know exactly why you're here." She stood up, and walked over to her CD collection. She found one of their albums and walked over to him.

"Listen to track five. That's my favorite song of them. It's the first song I've heard from them, and at the instant I knew that they were the best."

Ikuto raised an eyebrow at the suspicious item that was now in his hands. He still wasn't quite sure whether or not this was a good idea.

But what was he afraid of? It's not like he has anything to lose...

Right?

:Moon Dexterity:

"I don't get this..."

"Come on Kukai, you know this. We learned this in middle school."

"But I forgot!" Kukai whined. Amu rolled her eyes.

"It's just inequalities." She pointed to the problem. "6x plus 2 is greater than or equal to 12. All you have to do is try to get x by itself." Kukai pursed his lip.

"What do I do first?"

"Just look at the problem." Amu pointed at 6x. "It's pretty obvious." Kukai sighed. But then tried his hardest to concentrate. After analyzing the problem over and over, he finally got what he was supposed to do first.

"Subract 2 on both sides, then divide 6."

"Right!"

Kukai looked triumphant. "I am beast at math!"

Amu rolled her eyes with a laugh. "Sure you are."

They were interrupted by a door sliding open. "Brought you guys something to eat, while you work." In walked Nadeshiko. Amu smiled, while Kukai looked at the food in worship.

"Thanks Fujisaki you're the best!"

Amu smiled as Kukai plummeted for the food. Nadeshiko sat down on Amu's bed next to her. "You seem troubled, Amu-chan."

Amu flinched. The Fujisaki twins always knew when something was wrong with her. Even when she was completely normal. Amu sighed as she twiddled her thumbs. There really were no words for what she was feeling. She wasn't sad, or depressed. There was nothing really wrong with her. Just her thoughts of a certain someone kept on creeping back to her.

"It's just..." She didn't really want to tell anyone about these weird thoughts just yet. Nadeshiko scensed that Amu wasn't quite ready to share anything and patted her shoulder.

"It's alright. When you sort out everything, just let me know, okay?" She smiled. Amu smiled with her as she nodded. "Thanks."

"Now I'll leave you two to the rest of your homework. Good luck." She said as she walked out the door. Amu smiled as she waved.

After Kukai was done with his food, he looked at Amu's paper. His eyes widened. "When did you finish?"

"While you were eating. Now hurry up. I wanna take a shower and get my ass to bed." She pointed at Kukai's paper. "You have about six problems left. Then you have to graph everything. I'm gonna go take a shower. And when I get back, I want you to be done." She stood up.

Kukai grouched. "You act like my mother." he grumbled. Amu pretended not to hear that, and grabbed some clothes. She headed to the shower in her room, and started the water. She layed her hand under the shower head to make sure the water was at the right tempurature. When the water was just right, she took off her clothes, and in she went.

Kukai looked at the math problems troubled. "If she sees that I haven't finished a thing, she's gonna kick my ass." He looked around in a panic. He saw Nagihiko walk past the door with a tray of tea.

"Fujisaki!"

Naghiko almost dropped the tray. When he was balanced, he glared at Kukai. "What?" Kukai crawled over to him. "Please! Help me with my homework!"

Nagihiko sighed as he pinch the bridge of his nose. "Let me see."

:Moon Dexterity:

"Class, today we're going outside to look at all the wonders of nature. Now everyone find a partner!" Yukari-sensei announced. Some cheers were heard around the class. Especially coming from Kukai. Utau giggled at him. He seemed so carefree. It was nice. Kukai looked at Utau and smiled. Utau flinched, embarrassed that Kukai caught her staring. She could only smile back, with a light blush.

"U-Uhm, Fujimori-kun?"

Kukai twitched as his new name was called. "Y-Yeah, Tsukiyomi?" Utau blushed. "Would you like to be my partner?"

"Sure!" Utau smiled.

Ikuto looked over at Amu. She was looking out the open window. As the wind blew, she pushed her blue hair back behind her ears. He nudged her. She looked over at him boredly.

"What?"

"Be my partner."

"Hell no."

"Why?"

"Hinata's my partner."

"I see different."

Amu looked over at Kukai and Utau. They surely were partners. Amu growled as she looked at Ikuto. She caught a glimpse at his bracelet. It was really pretty, and she could tell there was a charm. But she couldn't quite see it, because his sleeve was in the way. She sighed.

"Whatever. Just don't try anything, got it?"

Ikuto smirked. "No promises."

"Pervert."

:Moon Dexterity:

Amu smiled at the leaves that were changing, and the flowers that were starting to hide back in their stems. The wig that she was weraing, was itching her like crazy, and her contacts were irritating her, to no extent. But she ignored it. She closed her eyes, and smelled in the clean, fresh air scent.

"Misaki."

Amu paid no attention to him.

"Misaki."

"..."

"Misa-chan~."

She growled. Even though it wasn't really her name, she hated to be called that. Especially by him. She looked at him, irritated.

"What?"

"Nothing really. Just wanted to ask you something."

Amu looked at his sapphire eyes. He looked slightly embarrassed for some reason. Amu smirked. "Oh really? Did Poor little Ikuto start his period?"

Ikuto glared at her. "Shut up." Amu laughed, as Ikuto walked closer. "Come on, I'm being serious." He stated as he got closer.

Close enough for Amu to blush. "What is it?"

"Do you listen to Moon Dexterity?"

Amu felt her heart jump. That's what he wanted to ask? If he listened to her own band? She crossed her arms. "They're awesome."

"I see."

"Why?"

"Well, I listened to one of their songs last night, and I think I owe someone an apology."

"Who?"

"My sister, her friends, and the band themselves." he answered.

"Oh..." Amu was slightly relieved. "What song did you listen to?"

"It was called, Brick By Boring Brick. It really caught me off guard."

Amu smiled. She knew that if he listened to one of her songs, he would love it. But that song was a little old. Even so, she was glad that he liked it. Ikuto looked at her weirdly.

"Why are you smiling so widely?" he asked. Amu chuckled. "None of your business."

"Hey, aren't they having a concert tonight?" he asked. Amu nodded.

"Do you want to go together?" He looked at her with a small smirk. Amu was about to say yes, but her mind got the better of her, when she realized that it was her own concert.

"I can't. I have a report due tomorrow. Maybe some other time."

:Moon Dexterity:

"Hinamori! It's show time!" Kukai shouted. Amu rolled her eyes as she chuckled. "Coming."

"Are you guys ready for Moon Dexterity?" The announcer exclaimed. The crowd cheered as Amu and the others walked out and got into their positions.

"This one is dedicated to a certain friend of mine. It's a bit old, but I never get tired of singing it."

Play Brick By Boring Brick by Paramore now!

Kukai clanked on his sticks as Amu started on her guitar. He started on the beat, while Nadeshiko and Nagihiko joined in. The crowd cheered as they recognized the song. They grew more excited.

She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind

As the song progressed, Ikuto's suspicion grew. Why would she play a song like this now? Right after he heard it? This song was old, right? She should be promoting her new songs, not her old.

Something must be linked.

It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies

This song was about Amu's mother. She was running away from reality, taking her sister with her. Someday, reality will catch up to her, and she will have to pay the price. That's what karma is.

keep your feet on the ground
when your head's in the clouds

Amu emphasized her lyrics as Nadeshiko sung backup. She wanted her fans to know that they need to stay possitive and be happy. And not to run away when something gets tough.

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Her smiled wasn't tarnished at all. She was having fun with the song now. Sure, it was about her mother, but she was over it. Now that Her and her father were happy. She didn't have to be angry anymore.

Ba da ba ba da ba ba da

So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out

This verse was about her father saving her mother. But she took advantage of him, and ran away taking whatever she could get with her. Amu knew she was a coward, and that would never change. But she was over it, now that her and her father were having a nice life.

But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve
Well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick
or the wolf's gonna blow it down

She wanted to let her fans know that they need to be prepared for what life's going to throw at them, and be strong. They always have to expect the unexpected no matter what the outcome of it would be.

keep your feet on the ground
when your head's in the clouds

Amu sang, as Nadeshiko sung backup.

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Kukai looked at Utau gazing up at him. He chucked as he smiled right back at her. She reacted by blushing ten shades of red, as her smile grew ten times more. She was so cute.

Nagihiko and Nadeshiko smiled at Amu. They were both happy to see that Amu was having fun with the song, instead of being angry with it.

Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic

She mustered up some extra energy into the bridge, and made sure that her audience understood. Understood that when they're down and out, something good will bring them back up again.

She knew that if it worked for her, it would work for anybody.

If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah

Utau swayed with the music as she stared at Kukai. She loved those emerald eyes, and how much energy was in them. He was always smiling, and having a fun time. He was so adorable.

Amu looked at Ikuto's sapphire orbs. She was slightly hypnotised by them. Her smile didn't fade, but her mind got cloudy for a split second. But not enough for her to mess up. That she would never do.

She put more energy into her lyrics.

Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Well go get your shovel
and we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Ikuto saw Amu looking at him. But she looked away quickly. He knew something was up with her, and he was trying to figure it out.

Ba da ba ba da ba ba da ba da ba ba ba da ba ba!
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da ba da ba ba ba da ba ba!

Kukai and Nagihiko put their lips on their mics and started to sing. Kukai stomped on his drum petal, while Nadeshiko played the bass.

Ba da ba ba da ba ba da ba da ba ba ba da ba ba!

Then Amu and Nadeshiko joined in. Everyone smiled as the crowd joined.

Ba da ba ba da ba ba da ba da ba ba ba da ba ba!

Then Kukai started to bang on the drums more rapidly and mustered up all their energy in the last, ba!

The song was over, and Ikuto and Utau walked backstage. Amu said goodbye to everyone in the audience, and walked off. Kukai wrapped his arm around Amu's shoulder, and shared a laugh.

Utau looked at Amu with jealousy. She was so lucky to be in the band with Kukai.

"Hello Hinamori-san." Aruto greeted. Amu nodded her head. "'Sup."

Nikaidou rolled his eyes. "Have more respect, Hinamori-san." Amu rolled her eyes. "No need. I'm too tired. Come on, Kukai it's almost six. Our shows about to come on."

Kukai smiled as she followed her to her dressing room. Ikuto and Utau noticed them walking away, and followed them.

"Amu!"

Amu turned to see Utau and smiled. "Hey, Utau." Utau smiled widely at Kukai. She blushed lightly. "H-Hi, Kukai."

"Yo!"

Amu looked at Ikuto. It looked as if he was examining her. She shook it off. "Sup, Ikuto."

Amu turned to Kukai. "I'm gonna go get snacks." she stated as she walked out. Kukai stopped her. "Don't forget the hoodie!"

"Oh yeah." She grabbed her black hoodie and walked out, pulling the hood over her head. Ikuto followed her.

When Amu forgot her wallet, she turned quickly, bumping into him. She looked up at him slowly. "Oh, shit."

Ikuto looked down at her with the most shocked expression. He looked into those honey colored eyes of hers, and he started to get as angry as he could possibly get. He couldn't muster up any calmness.

"You have so much to explain to me." he growled as he grabbed her arm. "Hey! Not so hard!"

But he didn't listen. All he did was pull, pull, pull. Amu growled.

"If you give me a bruise, I'm calling my lawyer."

:Moon Dexterity:

When they stopped at the park, Amu sat down on the fountain. She looked up at Ikuto as her honey glazed eyes glistened. Ikuto tried not to look into them. He was trying to be stern with her.

"You're my mystery girl?" he asked. All Amu could do was nod. They were silent for a few seconds.

All Amu could think about was when she kissed him. His lips were really soft, and tasted really sweet. Like cotton candy. He was so nice, and curtious with her. And she loved it. She appreciated that he treated her like a normal person. Even when she's at school she's not treated as normally as she wanted. But after some time, and getting used to everything, people will warm up to her.

Ikuto on the other hand, was thinking about her golden eyes. How the hell did he not think of everything before? Why didn't he realize something when they had dinner together? It was pretty obvious, now that he thought about it. He felt so stupid. And when she kissed him... Wow. Her lips tasted like strawberries, and she smelled really good.

"I'm sorry." Amu broke the silence. "I just wanted to have some time to be normal. To be with a boy, and have a normal kiss." she explained. Ikuto looked at her. It wasn't such a big deal after all. It wasn't like it was his first kiss or anything. He sighed as he ruffled his hair.

"It's fine. You just surprised me. That's all."

Amu smiled at him. "Thanks for understanding." Ikuto stood up. "Just no more secrets like that, okay?"

Amu felt her stomach drop. "O-Okay..."

She couldn't possibly tell him.

"Well, since we're both out, I'll help you with your snack duty."

"...Thanks."

Amu stood up, and followed him to the convienent store.

She can't tell him. She just can't.

What he doesn't know, won't hurt him.

...Right?
