Hello there. Here is chapter 6 of Summer's Dream.

Lately, I've been thinking about going back and revising Chapter 1. Just the parts about the chara changes though, I looked back and realized how many mistakes there where. We'll have to see when I get time.

So far, all the review that I have gotten are good, and for that I thank you. *bows*

Please enjoy.

Chapter 6

Setting: the next day at Amu's cabin.

"Grrr. Go away!"

"But why, Amu" he whined.

I frowned and started walking away into the woods. I could hear him following me, so I looked around for Ran. Ran? Ran! I could see her, and my other charas, floating away with HIS chara.

"Amuuu" he whispered as he got closer.

My eyes snapped open.

I looked around me and my forehead pinched. "Great. Just Great. Even in my sleep, he won't leave me alone. "strange though, I've never had a dream about a boy before. Even about Tadase. Hmmm. Must be because he bugs me so much."

"Well, my day's ruined before it even started." I sighed and walked across the room to my bathroom. I brushed my hair and put it up in a pony tail on the side of my head, than changed my mind, and left it down. I went back to my room and walked over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of black shorts and a hot pink tank-top. Then I walked downstairs.

"Hi mom."

"Morning honey. Want some pancakes for breakfast?"

"What kind?"

"Blueberry, your favorite. (mine too!)"

"Sure."

She walked over to the table and placed a plate with four pancakes on it in front of me. She also placed a bottle of syrup in front of me. I picked it up and drowned the pancakes with it. "So, what are we going to do today," I asked as I cut the pancakes up with my fork.

"The Tsukiyomis are coming back today, so we're going back down to the lake."

I froze, my first bite of the pancakes paused in front of my open mouth. The syrup dripped off of them onto the table. "What!" I almost screeched, but it came out in a hoarse whisper.

"Yeah, they….oh Amu, you're getting syrup all over the place!"

"Sorry mom," I said as she hurried over with a washcloth and started wiping up the syrup. "Are they really coming over again?" I asked, hoping that they really weren't, but I knew that it was true.

"Yes, are you going swimming again?"

"No, I think that I'll stay here and do something. I haven't really gotten to read Twilight, and it's so good, I want to find out what happens."

"Alright, but if you get bored, come down."

"Okay," I replied, knowing fully well that I wouldn't unless I knew that he had gone.

I ate my pancakes in silence. Then I walked back up to my room and stretched out on my bed. A green blob appeared in front of my face. "Amu-chan, are we going to the lake again-desu?"

"No Suu, that pervert is going to be there again and I don't want to see him."

"What are you going to do then, Amu-chan?" asked Miki.

"I'm going to stay here and do stuff in my room, but you girls can go if you want."

"I'm sure Yoru will be there." Ran said, smiling at Miki, who had gone as red as a tomato.

"Sh-Shut up! Why would I care if that cat is going to be there. He'll probably just take my drawing pad again."

"While you're drawing him again. Right?" said Ran, taunting Miki.

Miki glared daggers and came at Ran, tackling her, and they both spun out of sight into the bathroom.

"Stop this fighting-desu. It's not good," cried Suu as she flew into the bathroom. She came out holding the other charas by their collars in her hands. "There."

I laughed. "You guys go on and get down to the lake. Have fun."

"Bye Amu-chan," they said and flew out the open window to the lake. I watched them go and then I grabbed my book out of my bag and started reading. I hadn't had any time to read in the last couple of days and I was kind of sad. This was a really good book and I loved it so far. I really wanted to find out what happened to Bella and Edward.

"Can that really happen. Can people fall in love after knowing each other for a few days?" I thought to myself as I paused in my reading. The sun was shining on me, making me comfortably warm, and I could feel my eyelids droop.

I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I know, I'm opening my eyes to stare into the darkest blue eyes I had ever seen. He smirked. "Hello, my sleeping beauty. Have a good rest?"

I tensed up instantly and I took a breath to shout at him, but he put a finger to my lips. "Don't shout, it's not going to do anything. Ya know, if you hadn't wanted me to come in here, you shouldn't have left the window open." He gestured with his head to the open window. Dammit! He took his finger off my mouth.

"Why do you think I wasn't down at the lake," I hissed. Then I noticed his hands were still around me and I blushed. I started pushing at them, trying to get them off.

"I thought it was an invitation."

"Hardly," I said.

"Aww, that really hurts my feelings Amu-chan. I thought we were getting really close," He whined. Then he pulled me against him. So much for my escape attempts. My face was burning hot now and my heart was racing.

"Haven't you been listening the last couple of days!"

"Not really," he replied nonchalantly and rested his cheek on my hair.

I sighed and just laid there. There was nothing I could do, and I knew it. He knew it too. As I lay there, I couldn't help but notice his smell again. How couldn't I? He had my face pressed into his chest!

It was amazing how his scent could make me feel so weak. My head was spinning, and I was getting dizzy. Any more and I might go crazy.

"Ikuto, please let me up," I said as I pulled my head up to look at him.

"But I like this position. Maybe, if you gave into your feelings, you could enjoy it too." He smirked at me.

I sighed and closed my eyes. "Please," I whispered, exasperated.

"Fine." He released me and stood up. He walked around the bed to my bedside table. I sat up and scooted to the other side of my bed; far away from him.

"How'd you know I was up here, anyway?"

"I heard your mother tell my mom. She said you wanted to do some reading. It this it?" he asked, waving Twilight at me.

I scowled. "Yes, and I would appreciate it if you would give it back to me and leave so I could continue.

"It didn't look to me like you were reading much when I got here." He smirked.

My face heated up once again. "If I keep blushing, my face is going to be permanently red, whether he makes it or not. Why do I keep blushing around him, anyway? It's not like I like him or anything. Love is only something that happens in books." I sighed.

Ikuto's POV

I saw her face fall and, for some reason, it made me sad. All of the sudden, I had the overwhelming sense to comfort her, to make her feel better. Where is this coming from! I've never felt this way before. This girl has me completely twisted around. I can't be falling for her….can I?

Then I heard her sigh. "I wonder what she is thinking about?" "What are you thinking about?" I said out loud.

She jumped, like she had forgotten that I was there. I guess that was what she was always like. "Huh," she asked. She's cute when she's confused. What?!

"What are you thinking about?" I repeated. I didn't expect her to answer.

"Nothing, really. Just that love only really happens in books.

I was shocked. Partly because she answered, and partly because of what she was thinking. Why would she be thinking about love?

"You don't really think that, do you?"

"Yes. I do. For me, anyways."

This shocked me even more. I didn't know what to say.

We were silent for a long time. Then I glanced over at her. Her head seemed to be dropping. I smirked and crawled over the bed to her. I must have shifted the bed, because she raised her head and glared at me. Her eyes half-alert.

She tried to move off of the bed, but I grabbed her slim waist and pulled her back to me and laid down.

"Tired?"

"Ikuto, let me go," she said, a little more awake, but not fully there.

"No. I think that you need rest and you're going to get it. Why are you so tired anyway?"

"Dreams," she said simply, her speech slurring.

"What have you been dreaming about that has kept you up so much," I asked. I couldn't fathom the response she would give.

I guess that being sleepy had made her truthful, because she answered, "You" and went to sleep.

She even dreams about me too. What is it with this girl? She repeatedly denies that she likes me at all, and now this. I had just decided to wonder about these random thoughts of her and go with them. I was too lazy to try and figure out what they meant.

Truthfully, I knew what they meant. Here I was, with a cute girl sleeping on my chest, and I enjoyed it. Yes, any guy would enjoy having a girl sleeping on him, but this was different. I felt a deep concern for her and I wanted to be with her always.

I couldn't help but reach out and play with a couple strands of her hair. As I moved them, I stirred the air and the scent of strawberries once again reached me.

Hhmm. I leaned back and I could feel myself falling asleep. The sun was warm.

Fump. Fump.

My eyes shot open. Aw crap. Someone was coming up the wooden stairs, and they were coming towards Amu's room.

That's the end of chapter 6. I'm so sorry, my avid readers, but I had to end it. If I didn't, I would have kept writing and it would have been too much to read at once.

Also, I like a good cliffy. Don't hate me! *Hides in a room*

*Muffled voice from behind the metal door* By the way, I don't own Shugo Chara.
