************************************************************************************

I walked into my room slowly still thinking about what had happened. First I was relieved, but then I was aggravated. So he couldn't just say, "No," he had to fricking mess with me! He is such a jerk! Plus, I have to see him soon! Ugh!

I looked at the clock, crap! I jumped in the shower quickly and did my hair and put on my dress. Damn, I hate dresses, but this one was okay. However the high heels – or as I call them the high hells- made walking a little more difficult than needed. However, if I showed up in tennis shoes like I wanted to, Utau would kill me. Also I did look kind of cute. I wonder if Ikuto will notice and – WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?! Why would I care what that stupid cat thinks. Geeze today must have really taken its toll on me; I think I'm going crazy!

*Ikuto POV*

Utau had me wearing a fricking tux. I hate her for that. However I refused to pull the tie tight and my jacket stayed open no matter what. Those were my conditions. We got in a limo – because she just HAD to attract as much attention as possible- and drove to the City Hall. The place was actually huge and the ballroom was nice. We didn't see Amu though. At first I thought maybe she wouldn't show up, but then I heard guys talking.

"Did you hear about that girl?"

"Who?"

"Dude, there is this pink haired chick here who is so hot!"

"Oh," I stopped listening. I wanted to kill them for talking about her, no, for even looking at her. I saw a group of people clustered around a pillar and a bunch of guys looking that way. We walked over and sure enough it was Amu.

Her hair was slightly wavy and pulled up halfway on both sides of her head. The rest of her hair fell down to her hips. The right pony tail had a white ribbon, the left black. She had a red rose tucked above her left ear and, of course, she had her X clip hidden slightly under the white ribbon. Her bangs were flipped up a bit showing most of her forehead. She had on a white and black dress that tied around her neck. The stomach piece was tight and black while the top and bottom were both white. The skirt had uneven, spiky ends which ended right above her knee. Also she had black sleeves that started halfway down her bicep, and flared out around her wrists. Her heels were at least 5 inches long, and were the same color as the rose in her hair. On her right leg, there was a white ribbon that wrapped around her leg almost until her knee where it was tied in a bow in the back, on the left it was the same only with a black ribbon. Altogether she looked absolutely stunning.

She looked up from where she was leaning on the pillar and smiled at us. All the girls screamed, "Kawaii," while the boys just stared at her. If I wanted to keep all these guys from her, she wasn't going to make it easy. Then Tadasae (Tadagay) showed up. "Hinamori-san!" he yelled waving at her. She looked back slightly annoyed. "I'll be right back, k? I have to go check what the Guardians want." She said rolling her eyes. "Alright, we'll be at the table over there," Utau said pointing at a table. Amu nodded and walked over to the Guardians while Utau dragged me away to the other side of the room.

*Amu POV*

It was just like school. Wherever I walked people stared at me. They acted like I was special. I was waiting for them to roll out a red carpet or something. All the guys kept gazing at me; which made me uncomfortable. This is why I don't wear clothes like this often. Not soon enough, I reached the Guardians. Who also had people staring at them. "Amu-chii! You look so cute!" Yaya screeched wrapping me in a hug. I just smiled at her. "So why are we gathered?"

"No reason, we all just wanted to see what you'd look like tonight." Tadasae answered looking me up and down. I hate it when he does that. He always thinks he can boss me around and he even thinks he has the right to scan me like that. Like it matters to him what I look like! Actually, like it matters to me what he thinks I look like!

"Would you like to dance, Amu?" I turned around to see Kukai grinning and holding out his hand. I nodded and look his hand and we gracefully walked onto the dance floor.

*Ikuto POV*

"Would you like to dance?"

I turned to see Kukai leading Amu to the dance floor. I unintentionally hissed. Utau giggled and smiled at me. "Jealous much?" she teased. I glared at her then watched Amu and Kukai, which was hard. It was hard one, because I was jealous of him, which was weird, and two, because there was a huge crowd around them. All the girls started squealing and more guys glared at Kukai. However, I quickly stopped glaring. I almost started laughing. Amu made him look like he couldn't dance at all! She was graceful and beautiful, but she pushed him around like a mop! It was his fault though. I could see that at least. He was blushing.

"Wow, he must be really nervous." Utau said grinning. "Usually he's a very good dancer." Then she looked at me questioningly. I just cocked an eye brow and looked at her. "Well," she declared. "It's time to get these people dancing!"

She got up and walked to the stage grabbing a microphone on the way. I groaned. Poor, poor Amu. I saw here looking at Utau, completely horrified. I smiled. "Now it's time for dancing! Let's see who I want to dance in the lead for us." She pretended to scan the crowd, but I knew what she was doing. Apparently so did Amu because she started backing toward the door, I smiled again. The look on her face was priceless. "Hmmm, Ikuto Tskuymi ," she said pointing at me. A spot light shone on me. Poor, poor,poor, Amu. "and…," she smiled evilly. "Amu Hinamori," she said pointing at her. The spotlight pointed at her back while she was about to break for the door. She snapped her fingers probably cursing under her breath. "Objection!" She yelled turning around and raising a hand. Utau just shook her head. Amu glared at her and turned around crossing her arms. Utau looked at me and nodded toward her. I smirked and got up making my way toward her quietly.

*Utau POV*

Amu is soooo going to kill me for this, but it doesn't matter, because I brought a camera! I am so evil. Ikuto was making his way toward Amu who was still facing the door, probably with her eyes shut. He had an evil grin on his face. Amu is really going to make me pay for this. He grabbed her around the waist and then grabbed her arm and pulled her to the middle of the floor. Everyone made a crowd around them, and the guardians partnered up around them ready to dance. Amu flipped around glaring at Ikuto who was still grinning. "I picked a good day to wear pointy heels." She spat. He just chuckled as the music started. They danced so gracefully it was like they were flying. Amu glared at him the whole time. I just had to smile. They were so cute, and yet so dense.

*Amu POV*

I hate you Utau. Traitor, traitor, traitor! How could she do this to me? Well might as well TRY to enjoy this a little. 'Stop kidding yourself, you're overjoyed right now' Wow. My conscious is crazy too.

"I'm impressed and disappointed." I said.

"Oh?"

"mhm,"

"I know why you're impressed after seeing how other boys dance around you, but disappointed?" I nodded.

"Yes I'm disappointed," I said smiling and pausing just to make him wonder, "because I don't get to push you around like everyone else in here." He started laughing and I giggled too. I almost forgot we were dancing, but by the way people were staring I guessed I was still doing well. After that it was silent. He danced as gracefully as a cat should. He never missed a beat, which made me never miss one either. Like hell I was going to give him the satisfaction of teasing me about bad dancing. About an eternity later, the song finally ended, but he didn't let go.

"Ikuto, let go," I said already aggravated.

"Under one condition."

I sighed. "What?"

"You have to kiss me first." He said raising our hands so I was on my tip toes and our faces were but an inch apart.

"What? No!"

"Then I won't let go."

"Iku-to!" I whined.

"Acting cute won't make me let go." He said teasing. I cocked an eyebrow. I wasn't trying to act anything. Then just glared at him; I could feel all eyes on us. Wonderful. I sighed again. "You must really not want me to let go." He teased again. I groaned. "Oh, shut up!" I yelled and pressed my lips to his.

The crowd exploded. All the girls yelling "Kya!" and "Kawaii!", and all the guys yelling "da nit!"- except for Utau and Ikuto's friends. I pulled away and went to slap him but he caught my hand. He still had that stupid smirk on his face and I was blushing. "Pervert," I mumbled and turned sharply to walk away. Then I heard him in my ear. "If that's what you kiss like when you're forced to, I'd love to see you when you kiss willingly." He whispered in my ear. I turned my head a bit with a sarcastic grin on my face.

"Yeah, good luck with that, pervert." I stated then walked away from the chuckling cat. Utau ran up to me.

"Okay, what was that?"

"That? I'll tell you what that was. That was an act of a truly perverted bastard." I mumbled to her. Then I told her what happened.

"Aw, I think it's cute."

"You wouldn't if you had been in my situation!" I accused.

"Maybe not."

"Maybe?"

"Yeah, maybe you're just that dense."

"What?!"

"Nothing, nothing." She said waving the thought away. Then Kazuka and Ryuu walked up. Perfect.

"Well, like you said, this certainly wasn't boring." Kazuka said putting his hands behind his head.

"He will wish he hadn't done that!" I almost yelled. That's when I felt arms wrap around my waist.

*Utau POV*

Ikuto walked up behind Amu, but she didn't hear him. Does anyone ever hear him show up? He wrapped his arms around her waist, her face turned to one of absolute misery and defeat as she looked to her left, probably trying to ignore him. "I don't think that's possible," he whispered in her ear.

"Of course you don't, not yet at least!" she retorted turning back to herself again. She struggled against him. Kazuka, Ryuu, and I laughed.

Later, it came to an end. It was too soon for me, and too late for Amu. I decided since I was to blame, I might as well try to cheer her up. "Hey Amu, how about you sleep over at my place tonight? It will be like we're little again! Then we can go shopping tomorrow!"

"You know I don't like shopping, but if you really want to…"

"YAY! Let's go get your stuff! Ikuto! Why don't you ride home with Kazuka?" I dragged her to the car.
