(A/N: I know, I know. This update took a really long time and I'm sorry for that I got caught up in other things. I do not own Shugo Chara. Please review!)

Chapter 2

"Hey, Amu. You were late, what happened?" asked Rima as they walked together to their next class.

"Huh? Oh yeah…" How would she explain it? A scary guy just came and was about to murder her? "I just got lost."

"Weren't you following me?"

"Yeah but I lost you in the crowds."

"Excuse me," a voice said from behind them. They turned to see a tall teenage boy with long blue hair tied in a low pony tail. He smiled at both of them. Was it just her, or did Rima seem to stiffen a little? Was that redness on Rima's cheek?

The boy turned to Rima. "You forgot this in class, Mashiro-san." He handed her a bright blue pen. "It was on your desk."

Rima took the pen casually. "Is that all?" she asked coolly.

"Yes." He kept on smiling. Then he turned to Amu. "Hinamori Amu? I'm Nagihiko. Fujisaki. You're new around these parts, aren't you?"

"Yeah…," Amu responded shyly.

"I'm glad you found Mashiro-san to show you around. Her older sister Mashiro Kusukusu goes had gone here and helped Mashiro-san around the school before she started classes."

"Oh… I didn't know Rima had a sister."

"She was a top student. She was also very famous. Anyway, it's… it's nice to see you again, Mashiro-san…," Nagihiko said, smiling at Rima more than at Amu.

Amu now knew that what she had seen on Rima's cheeks weren't just a trick of the light. Rima was blushing.

"You like him, don't you?" Amu teased. Rima glared at her.

"No I don't."

"I can tell you do!"

"Shut up. You don't know what you're talking about…"

"I can tell he likes you, too."

"What?" Rima looked at Amu, her eyes wide. "Are you serious?" A little out of character?

"Yes, I really do. Didn't you see the way he was smiling at you?"

"He smiles that way at everyone, Amu. You don't understand. You're new around here."

Rima looked away and started walking towards their next class.

Amu had no classes with Tsukiyomi Ikuto. It figures, she thought to herself. He's probably a senior. He doesn't look my age.

She walked with Rima towards the Cafeteria.

"Hey, Rima-chan!" a voice called from across the cafeteria. "Over here!"

Rima looked towards a table and signaled to Amu to follow her. Amu followed Rima to a table where a boy with crazy orange hair and big green eyes sat. He was the one that shouted. A girl with long blonde hair that was pulled into two high pony tails sat next to him.

"Rima-chan, who's she?" asked the blonde haired girl coolly.

"Hinamori Amu. She's new," Rima said simply, sitting down. "Amu. Sit." Amu sat on the other side of Rima and across from the boy.

"I'm Souma Kukai!" the boy said smiling widely. "It's nice to meet you!"

Amu smiled shyly. "Nice to meet you…"

The blonde girl glared at her. "Don't look at him like that!" Amu looked at her, her eyes wide.

"S-sorry, I didn't mean-!" Amu stuttered.

"Utau, it's okay, she didn't mean-," Kukai said, putting his arm on the girl's shoulder.

"If I ever catch you flirting with Kukai again, I'll kill you with my own bare hands!" the girl yelled.

"Utau, she didn't mean it that way," Kukai said calmly. He kissed her on the cheek and that seemed to calm the blonde girl down a bit. Amu stared at them, completely baffled.

"Kukai-kun and Utau-chan are going out," Rima explained. Oh. That's why.

"Sorry, I really wasn't flirting with him, I swear!" Amu said.

"You better not have been," Utau hissed.

"Excuse me…" a voice said from behind Amu. Utau and Kukai looked up and their expressions stiffened. Rima turned and her eyes widened slightly. Amu was the last to turn.

There he was. Tsukiyomi Ikuto. He looked… calmer than he had been when they first 'met.'

"Hinamori Amu?"

"Y-yes?" Amu replied, trying to keep her voice steady. She could tell that everyone was intimidated by him.

"Ren-Sensei needs to speak with you. I was asked to escort you."

Amu looked at the others for help. Kukai was just shocked. Utau had her head down. Rima was playing meaninglessly with her food.

"Sure…," Amu finally said, standing up cautiously. As they walked out of the Cafeteria, Amu could've sworn that all eyes were on them.

They walked in silence for a while until Ikuto finally broke it.

"Did I scare you?"

"What?"

"I said, did I scare you? Are you deaf freshman?" Ikuto smirked.

Amu blushed. "No, I'm not deaf! No, I wasn't scared, either!" Of course she was scared. But she wasn't about to tell him that.

His smirk deepened. "Oh, really?"

Amu hesitated before nodding.

"Well then… I now know you're… more difficult to scare than others," he said.

"Yeah, so?" she said, not looking at him. What he didn't know was that she was very easily frightened.

"What class do you have after lunch, Amu?" he said. She stiffened. Amu? First name? Really? Sure, she would call Rima by her first name and her first name only, but this was a boy. Who. Tried. To. Kill. Her. Possibly. "By the way, the name's Ikuto. Call me Ikuto. Nothing more. Nothing less."

"I have…" Amu rummaged through her bag to find her schedule. "Nature Enchantments. W-why?"

He smirked again. "No reason."

"Why does Ren-sensei want to see me?"

"Who said he wanted to see you?" Ikuto grabbed ahold of Amu and brought her into his arms in a tight embrace. The next thing she knew they were surrounded by darkness.
