Heyy sorry i haven't updated in a while. School started and my coursework pile has just gone up and up. =/ Plus iv'e been captivatd by other anime and my second story (Please check it out and tell me which on you prefer ^^) I just wanted to thank Miserae and A-Shadow-Of-A-Doubtfor their lovely comment. I will show you the letter... at some point ^^ (sorry im in an evil mood) I have even passed up on doing my R.E homework so i could write this for you guys. I DO NOT own Shugo Chara, Shugo Chara Doki or Shugo Chara Party (Which starts On Saturday (Y) ) And believe me if i did Tadase would no longer exsist. The whole anime/manga would be filled up with Amuto. And It would stick to the managa. (Anyone els think that epsiode 102 should have been done exactly like the manga SPOILER - I'm glad they put the kiss in,, but for my liking it wasn't close enough to the lips,, like it was in the manga and Ikuto didn't say the whole "You win, because I Love you. And i'll make you a bet. I'll Make you fall in love with me" Oh well We can't always have what we want. Anyway ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Amu woke up in the morning cold and lost. Something wasn't quite right.
"What's the matter Amu-Chan?" Miki asked, unlike her sister's she was awake.
"I don't know Miki, something's not right. Either something's missing, or something's not how it should be." Amu looked around for the thing that was nagging at her at the far corners of her mind. It was something obvious. It was something that should jump straight out at her. Her concentration was short lived as a small tap on her door disrupted her thinking.
"Amu darling, are you awake?" Her mother whispered into the room.
"Hai, Mama. I just got up." Amu smiled at her mother all last night's worries behind her. The thoughts of last night's worries pushed themselves forward further into Amu's mind. What was it that joined last night's worries and this morning unwelcome feelings?
"Okay. I'll make you some breakfast as you get changed for school. Oh and before you come downstairs don't forget to shut your balcony door. It's been a while since I've seen it open, but it was a clear night last night. I take it you were looking at the stars." Amu's eyes widened in shock. The door, how could she have not noticed that!
"Yes Mama, they... ermm... was so pretty last night I couldn't not look at them." Amu wasn't good at lying, but luckily for Amu her mother was content it pretending her daughter didn't hide anything from her so didn't think much of the hesitation and left Amu to get ready in peace.
"Miki, did any of you 4 go out last night?"
"No Amu-Chan why?"
"Because I didn't go out last night." Miki and Amu gave each other an odd look.
"Amu-Chan is there anything missing from your room?" Amu and Miki looked round the room but came up with the same answer. Nothing they could find was out of place or missing.
Ran's egg cracked open and she arose with a long loud yawn. "So Amu-Chan what did that letter say?"
"THE LETTER!" screamed Amu and Miki together. That's the thing that had gone missing, the thing that irritated Amu's mind.
"What's all the commotion?" Dia grumbled as the noise had awoken her from her slumber.
"Amu's letter has gone missing!"
"Are you sure Su didn't put it away, you know what she's like with tiding." Ran strolled up to Su's egg and knocked gently. The egg cracked and Su popped out.
"Su did you tidy away Amu-Chan's letter?"
"No Ran, I was going to but Amu fell asleep with it in her hand and I couldn't open her hand to move it." The five of them gasped as something clicked in their brains.
"That..."
"Means..."
"That..."
"Someone..."
"Took it out of my hand in the night. But who?" Their expressions changed to one of puzzlement.
"Desu..." Su began.
"Yes Su, what's that matter?" Amu was used to Su calling Amu's attention with this method.
"You don't think that the person who took the letter was the person who left the door open."
"Don't be silly Su." Ran started.
"Yeah, the only way they could've opened that door is with the balcony key." Miki continued Ran's thoughts.
"And in any case there are only seven people in the world who know where that key is." Ran finished.
"But you two, apart from us five the other two..." Amu's eyes started to water as she remembered who she told about the key. Even her own family didn't know where Amu kept that key.
"Are Ikuto and Yoru." Dia said the sentence that sent Amu over the edge. Silent tears slowly slipped their way down Amu's cheeks.
"Don't cry – Desu."
"He will come back for you Amu-Chan."
"He promised.
"And from the look of it he could be already here." The four petit girls tried to calm and sooth their other self. Amu wiped the tears away. She had to push this out of her mind. She had given up the hope of his return a long time ago. She had made a vow to herself to never think or say that name again. Unfortunately that vow was broken the second it was set. No matter how hard she tried that name would always be a part of her mind and heart.
"Amu-Chan. He loves you. You love him. He will come back." Dia always being the responsible one always knew what to say.
"Right. Anyway it's not as if I care what that stupid black cat of misfortune is doing. Probably being a pervert somewhere. I'm just glad I'm rid of him. I was just thinking about the poor girl he's harassing now. I feel sorry for her." And with that cool and spicy comment she got changed into her uniform and went down stairs for breakfast, all but one of her Shugo Chara's following her.
"Ikuto, Yoru, you can get down off that roof now and stand in here. I know your there. I can smell you, Yoru a mile away." Miki shouted out of the balcony door. Her connection with Yoru still remained as strong as ever.
"Hey Miki, should've guessed you'd know he was here." Ikuto smirked to himself as he gracefully flipped himself off the roof and into Amu's bedroom.
"Miki!" the little cat Shugo Chara tackled Miki to the floor and glomped her.
"It's good to see you too Yoru." She gave Yoru a quick kiss on the cheek. Yoru returned this kiss with a quick scarlet blush.
"Want me to leave you two alone?" Ikuto question with a smile plastered to his face.
"I don't know what your smiling at you baka. I wasn't the one with tears rolling down my eyes a seconded ago." Yoru leered at his owner.
"I wasn't crying." Ikuto mumbled. Miki knew what this must have meant he had heard Amu's little rant.
"You know she didn't mean it. She was just showing her 'cool and spicy' side. You know she loves you." Miki reasoned with Ikuto.
"I'm not so sure she does. And anyway if she did at any point, she must hate me now for what I did."
"I'm sure if you give her that letter you stole last night back to her she won't hate you. Not that she does now."
"How did you know I stole it?"
"Come on Ikuto. I know I'm Amu's other self, but I'm not a stupid as she is."
"Good point."
"So just walk up to her and say read this then run off."
"What if she knows it's me?"
"Well so what if she does?"
"You see. Utau is trying to give Amu the best birthday present ever-nya. She's giving Amu Ikuto as a present and she's threatened us that if we get spotted or have contact with Amu before her birthday she going to buy all the cat nip from this area and chuck it into a pond in front of us, but if we do what she says she will buy it and give it us-nya."
"So why did you write the letter in the first place Ikuto?"
"Well I wanted to apologise to Amu. But then I thought afterward I should do that in person, hence why I stole it back, I'm just thankful Amu hates reading anything but manga and that she didn't read it." Ikuto giggled to himself, remembering the way he used to tease Amu on this fact.
"You-"Miki's comment was cut off by the footsteps on the stairs.
"Miki come on, I've got to go to school!" Amu shouted up the stairs.
"Go Ikuto!" Miki quickly gave Ikuto a little push on the back and Yoru another kiss on the cheek. "We will talk later meet me here tonight. Okay?"
"Okay." And with that the perverted cosplay cat boy, and his little minion was off.
"Sorry Amu. I was just looking for a new pencil mine broke." Miki made up an excuse as she opened a small gap in the door to leave through so any traces of the boy would be locked inside.
