I'm extremely sorry for the late update!!! It's been over a month!!!!! I feel so bad. Everyone has probably been angry saying things like, "She's so evil for not updating!" and "I hate her for not updating!" But I understand your words! I'm so, so, so sorry!!!! Please forgive me!! Here, I give you a long chapter!!

Reflection: I went over to Ikuto and hugged him warmly. "Amu-koiiii, don't surprise me like that!" Ikuto whined. I smiled.

"I can do --" Then my cell phone rang. Hmm, that's weird. I usually never get called on my cell phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Amu-chan?" Someone said. Who is it?

"AMU-CHI!!!" E-eh?! YAYA?!

"YAYA? Yaya is that you?" I asked.

"And Rima!"

"And Kukai. Yo!"

"Hey, Amu-chan. It's Nagihiko."

"E-eto… Hi Hinamori-san." Tadase…

"Guys! I haven't talked to you guys in forever! How's Seiyo High? How's everything?!" I exclaimed. Ikuto looked at me awkwardly.

"Amu-chan, we were wondering if we could hang out tomorrow. We were thinking about going to the Café. You in?" Rima asked.

"Definitely!!" I'm gonna have to use the Cop outfit again. Oh great…

[Chapter 14]

I went to Utau's dorm and knocked.

"Hey Amu!" She squealed. I saw Ruka in the room glaring at me. Woah, scary.

"U-uh, Hi. Listen, I need the keys to the gates." I said.

"Huh? Why?" Utau asked.

"I was invited somewhere with my friends. The café." I told her. She smiled at me.

"Sure!" She went to her dresser and grabbed a set of keys. "Here you go! But you better get them back to me." She gave me the evilest glare that no one thought was even possible. I backed off.

"Um… of course! Well, um, I'm off! Bye!" I ran back to my dorm and was basically out of breath by the time I got there.

Once I got to my dorm, Ikuto was lying on his bed, fidgeting with his nails. "Ikuto? Is something wrong?" I could just tell there was a hint of annoyance in his face.

"Not really…" He grumbled. I rolled my eyes. I walked over to him and sat on his bed next to him.

"There's got to be something wrong… I can totally tell how annoyed you are." I told him.

He sighed loudly, "Well, it seems like you ignored me ever since that stupid phone call." I burst out laughing.

"Are you jealous?" I asked.

"No! I just feel like you ignored me, that's all…" Ikuto looked away from me and I hugged him.

"Well I wasn't trying to ignore you. It's just that I'm excited about going out with my old friends. I miss them a lot." I told him.

"Okay. Well, I'll be waiting for you, okay? Don't get me worried. If anything goes wrong, call my cell phone." I grabbed my cell phone and got ready to put his number in. "*******"

"Okay! I'll make sure! Thanks Ikuto, bye! I love you!" I then ran out of the door, shutting it behind me, and running down the hallways in my cop outfit. This'll be fun.

-After I got out of the gates-

I breathed heavily as I was scared I would've gotten caught. I went toward the direction of the Café. As I was walking, I felt dehydrated and my legs hurt. Although I felt that, I had to be strong and hurry to the Café. When I came around a corner, I heard a sneeze. A sneeze that was unforgettable. It was… it was Rima's sneeze!! I turned around and saw Rima wiping her nose.

"RIMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed. She looked up immediately and her eyes brightened.

"Amu!" She screamed, obviously not as loud as me. She ran toward me and hugged me tightly. I noticed she was wearing tan short-shorts and a pink shoulder-slip shirt, and on her feet were hot pink flip-flops with a fake flower in the middle of the strap. She didn't have her normal brown head band in her hair, but a pink clip. I hope she doesn't noticed I'm still wearing my cop outfit…

"Rima! I've missed you so much! Oh, I have so much to tell you!" I said happily. Then, when I didn't hear a reply while closing my eyes in delight, I became uneasy. "Rima?" I opened my eyes and saw her staring at me.

"Amu, what's up with the weird cop outfit? Is this really what you were planning to wear? Like, are you going to go up to the guys and be like, 'Have you been Naughty or Nice', or something?" Wow, nice way of putting it Rima. You make me feel so stupid!

"No! I was going to change in the bathroom, but my school doesn't let the students get out of campus, and I had to sneak out acting as if I were a security guard." I blushed deeply, embarrassed about this stupid outfit.

Rima fell into hysterical laughs, leaving me sweat-dropping from embarrassment. "Let's hurry up to the café so that I can change." I told Rima, who was still laughing. I ended pulling Rima by her wrist to the café, which wasn't too far away by now. When we got to the café, I immediately went to the bathroom with my bag, and went into one of the big stalls. I took out a silk, black halter shirt, white jeans short-shorts, and black flip flops. I put those on and looked at myself in the mirror. Perfect.

I came out of the bathroom and there they were! Rima, Yaya, Nagihiko, Kukai, and Tadase. The old Guardians!

"AMU-CHI!!!!" Yaya yelled. She ran toward me with ice cream surrounding her lips. She hugged me tightly, luckily not getting any ice cream on my shirt.

"Yaya! Hi!" I squealed. Then everyone came walking toward me and I gave them a big smile. We sat down at a nearby table.

"Hey guys! I'm so glad we're getting together. I've missed all of you so much!" I said. When I saw Tadase, he was staring at me, blushing. Was it me, or did Tadase seem a little gay…?

"Hinamori-san, it's good to see you." He didn't stutter! What a surprise!

"Good to see you, too. So, I have a lot to tell you guys!" I exclaimed. Everyone waited for me to say something else. "I have a boyfriend!"

"WHAT?!" They all yelled. Some of them seemed happy, some of them seem sad. The one that looked sad was Tadase. The ones that looked happy were Rima, Yaya, Kukai and Nagihiko.

"Yeah! His name's Tsukiyomi Ikuto. He's probably the sweetest guy you'll ever meet. He's smart, too! I love him so much already!" I squealed. The only thing I didn't notice was Tadase's face. Well, that is until I looked at it. His face looked as if he were about to cry, and he had so much hurt. (A/N: This is in episode, I think, 77 with Tadase's face) I wonder… why?

"Amu-chan, that's great!" Rima cheered.

Then Tadase got up from his seat, "Excuse me." He muttered. He started walking toward the Café exit.

"Wait!" I ran toward Tadase, who had already gotten outside. Once I got outside, I yelled, "Tadase, wait!" He turned around furiously. "T-Tadase… what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?! I'll tell you what's wrong!" He walked toward me stopping right in front of me. "I've loved you since fifth grade, and you go out and tell the whole world you're going out with some guy you've only known for what, a week?!" He yelled. I was stunned. For some reason, though, I felt furious. I felt angry!

"Tadase! You have no right to be mad! How did I know that you've loved me ever since fucking fifth grade?! You never confessed to me! Also, my feelings for you, are all gone! All I see you as is my friend. Plus, when I did like you, that was just a mere crush. A crush that every little girl has. Tadase, we're not little kids anymore! So stop the bullshit, and get over it!" I screamed. All of these words came out without me noticing. Everything just burst out from my heart and came out. Although I knew everything I just said, I felt proud of myself.

Tadase stared at me, with his eyes almost coming out of their sockets. "I guess… you're right. Well, I'm going home. Have fun with, uh, the rest of that gang." Tadase then walked off and honestly, I didn't care. I walked back into the Café and everyone looked at me.

"Don't tell me that just because that just happened, the rest of the day isn't going to be fun?" I whined.

"Of course not!" Rima spoke up. "We're going to have fun, right guys?"

"Of course! Come on, Amu-chi, let's have fun-fun-fun!" Yaya exclaimed. I smiled.

When we got up, I saw Rima rush over to Nagi's side. "Hold my hand." She demanded. Nagi smiled and held her hand and continued to walk with her. My mouth gaped open. Rima and Nagi were… were… GOING OUT?!

"Rima! You're going out with Nagi?!" Rima blushed and turned away. Rima smiled and patted Rima on the head.

"Yeah, we're going out." Nagi said. Rima hit Nagi on the head.

"Don't say it so casually!" Rima blurted. Nagi couldn't help but laugh at Rima's anger. I couldn't help but go all out on this.

"Oh my God! This is amazing, Rima! I can't believe you two are actually going out! You two are the cutest couple ever! Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God!" I squealed.

Rima looked ahead and saw that Kukai and Yaya were already up ahead. "Look! Everyone's already toward the park. Let's go!" Rima dragged Nagi by his hand and I went with her as well.

When we all got to the park, Rima and I walked off to the fountain. We sat on the edge and she put a smug look on her face. "So, who's this Ikuto guy?" I suddenly had this blush all over my face.

"Well… He's my dorm mate." I said.

"What?!" Rima yelled.

"Let me continue!" I yelled. "Okay. At first we were kinda' just not talking to each other. But then at night, he started to have this weird thing where he crept into my bed at night."

"What?!" She yelled again. I was getting frustrated by her interrupting.

"Let me finish!" I yelled. "So then, as we went progressing, we talked a little bit more. Then in class, we started to pass these notes and we made this challenge to see if I would ever kiss him. Basically, I did." I saw Rima about to say something, but I glared at her. "So then, we kinda' fell for each other and - yeah…" I faded off at the end.

Rima stared at me in disbelief. "How long have you known this guy?" She laughed.

"I think a week." She cracked up and almost fell into the fountain! "Rima!" She kept laughing.

"Sorry!" She exclaimed. I smiled at her. Now it's my turn.

"So what about you and Nagi? How'd it come to be?" I asked her. She suddenly stopped laughing and she coughed. Got her!

"Well um… uh…" She stuttered. I raised an eye at her and she bowed her head. "Okay… Well, Nagi, Tadase, Kukai, Yaya, and I were all out at this festival. I ended up drifting toward the comedians. Ya' know, comedy's my thing." She told me. "So, Nagi ended up following me so that I didn't go alone. I was kinda' ticked, though. He was just stalking me, ya' know! So then, while I was watching the comedians, I laughed really, really hard! But I ended up falling over… on top of Nagi! Basically, that's when we fell for each other and he smiled at me, and we just ended up going out somehow…" She told me. Her face was flushed and it was a pretty funny sight to see.

"Rima, your face is so red right now!" I yelled. I ended up laughing at her and she got mad at me.

"Hey you girls, come on!" Kukai yelled out.

"Right there!" I said. "Come on, Rima." We went toward Nagi, Kukai, and Yaya again and we enjoyed a nice long day together. It reminded me of the old days.

-When I got back to my dorm-

I saw Ikuto napping on my bed hugging my pillow. I smiled and I tip-toed toward him and laid next to him. I put my arm around him and he turned around. His face was now facing mine, and boy did I feel hot. He was breathing heavily against my skin and now his arm was around me, too. I closed my eyes and smiled. Ah… I love Ikuto. He's an amazing person.

"Amu…" He said roughly in a whisper. I looked up at his eyes were barely open. "You're back." He smiled slightly.

"Yeah. I'm back, Ikuto." I told him. He chuckled in his throat, and he slid his hand to the bottom of my back. He pulled my closer to him and this made me warmer than I already was. He snuggled his nose into my hair and breathed in.

"I like the smell of your hair…" He said silently. I laughed at the random comment. He then kissed my forehead. "I like the touch of your skin against my lips." This time I didn't do anything. Then he lifted my chin up and kissed my lips. "I like the taste of your lips." He looked right into my eyes and I melted under his gaze. "I wonder how I came to meet a person so perfect."

For some reason, I just felt like crying right there. Ikuto meant so much to me now. I loved him. I love him. I will love him. "Ikuto, I love you. I really do. Don't you ever leave me." I told him.

"I won't ever leave you." He promised. We swept into a kiss. It was the most wonderful kiss I had ever had in my life. So full of love and gentleness. It must've been a miracle to have a feeling like this.

Ah… I hope the rest of this year will be like this everyday. With Ikuto and I sharing our love so passionately.

End of Chapter!

Okay, again, I'm really, really sorry for the late update!

So this may seem like the last chapter. I'm not sure if it should be. I'd like to make bonus chapter in each of the character's POV. Like Rima's, Nagi's, Utau's, and Kukai's. Tadase, too. Yaya, I don't know… Haha. We already know what will happen between Ikuto and Amu -sticks tongue out-.

REVIEW! PLEASE! I worked pretty hard to make this chapter to please you guys! Sooo….. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
