I hope you enjoy my lovely reviewers~

Read it, comment and most of all, LOVE IT!

AMUS POV

Sighing, I laid down on my bed, arms crossed and behind my head, thoughts whirring around in my mind, things like Nami…

Hmm…I wonder how long Tadase had had a girlfriend? They certainly looked like they had been in a relationship for quite a while, which baffles me, because it wasn't only until recently, that Tadase had officially stopped telling me he loved me.

I smiled then, my heart was free, free of the complicated triangle going on between Tadase, Ikuto and I. Speaking of Ikuto…I wonder what he's doing.

I wonder where my alley cat is off to now…

Knock, knock.

I jumped up at the sound of the knocking and turned towards the window, "Speak of the devil…" I whispered as I smiled at Ikuto as he smiled back at me behind the glass pane.

"Can you let me in? It's freezing out here." He wrote into the frosted window, while pulling his scarf a little tighter.

I hopped up and leant over to the window, where I slid the key into the lock and opened the window for Ikuto, before quickly shutting it so I could stop the snow from drifting in.

"Heya!" I greeted happily as Ikuto sat himself down on one of the bean bags in my room.

"Yo." He replied, motioning for me to come and join him.

Still smiling, I knelt down and snuggled into his lap, as he wrapped his arms around me tightly. Suddenly, it seemed, my cold room had become a lot warmer, it was pleasant.

"Did you go to school today?" I asked him, my school hadn't been closed from the snow, so this question was asked based on that factor.

"Ish."

"Ish?"

"Well, I did…but…then…well…" He scratched his awkwardly, almost like he was hiding something from me.

"What happened, Ikuto?" I asked, whispering into his ear, before nipping it.

What can I say, I was curious.

I looked back up at him with my puppy eyes, mentally stopping myself from laughing at the furious blush that had spread across his cheeks.

Haha, now the bastard knew how I felt.

IKUTOS POV

"Did you go to school today?" Amu asked me, as she snuggled into my arms.

Ooh, that question, I normally didn't mind it, but today I did. Somehow I didn't get the feeling that Amu would be too happy with had happened while I was attending classes today.

Actually scratch that, she'd be furious.

"Ish." I replied in the end, nodding my head side to side.

Amu pouted at me, obviously unsatisfied with my small answer, "Ish?"

Hmm…how do I put this so that I don't end up a dead man? "Well, I did…but…then…well…" Was all I could muster, god, I really just don't know what to say and Amus wraths are scary.

"What happened, Ikuto?" She whispered into my ear seductively, before nipping it.

OKAY.

I could feel my cheeks heat up at the small gesture and couldn't help but chuckle mentally, Amu must have done that because I do it to her all the time.

"I-I…can you do that more often?" I asked cheekily, steering right off subject, my blush disappearing as Amus grew.

"No, onetime special only, so what happened?!" Amu whined, getting off my lap at sitting on the ground in front of me, her arms crossed against her chest.

"I did go to class, for ten minutes, then I got bored and snuck out…" I could see Amus eyes twitching at this point, "…and then went to go somewhere warm only to come across a girl whom was being assaulted, I helped her and then well…"

"Well what? Shouldn't you be proud you helped her?" Amu asked, quizzically.

"Well…you see, she kissed me…on…the…lips…"

"WHAT?!" Amu screamed, jumping up.

"Hey! I didn't mean for that to happen, I literally pushed her off me and apologized before telling her I had a girlfriend, whom I love very much." I said quickly, shaking my hands around comically, trying to get Amu to calm down.

"Okay…" She said, eying me wearily, before sitting down again, "And then what?"

"Well…I don't know…" I replied, the part where Amu would be mad is over, now for the next part…which scared me even more.

"Whaddaya mean you don't know?"

"…I blacked out and woke around just thirty minutes ago…"

"Huh?" Amu asked, "You were out for a whole day?!"

"Yeah…and well I woke up to a not so pleasant note and cuts everywhere..." I paused at this point.

"Ikuto, are you alright?!" Amu asked suddenly, it was at this point that I realised that I was not only shaking, but crying as well.

No, I was not alright.

I was very, very far from alright.

It's not that the cuts and scars scared me, it's what was written on the note.

That damned note.

"I…Amu…you have to be very careful from now on okay?" I told her, while I wiped my tears.

"What was on the note Ikuto?!" Amu demanded, not forcefully, but in a curious-caring way.

I took the note from my pocket, it was scrunched up in a ball, hesitantly, I handed it over to her. Slowly, Amu un-scrunched the ball of paper and read it, her hands shaking by the time she had finished it.

"Wha…what is this?!" She shrieked, throwing it far away from her.

Gently, I pulled her into my arms, knowing myself that I was just as scared as her, "It'll be okay…" I shushed her, patting her comfortingly as she gripped my clothes and held me tight.

Glancing over at the note, I had to close my eyes, the words on it seemed to be burned into my mind…

'This is a warning Tsukiyomi Ikuto,

I shall give you one chance to take back what was rightfully mine,

The beauty known as Hinamori Amu,

If you do not,

Than I have decided,

Rather regretfully,

That if I cannot have her,

No one can.'

Oooh, what's this I see?

Heheh, until next chapter!

Thanks for reading ^^
