Gosu: Sorry for the long wait! I did mention before that I had school, so currently I'm studying for tests and such. I'll try to fit some time for more chapters whenever I can think of ideas. Phew, three pages long. Thanks for the reviews. I know you guys want me to update ASAP, but some of you don't have to exaggerate as far as killing yourself =_=''. Anyways, enjoy for now!

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara! Only the story.

Chapter 8: Angelic Arrival

(Ikuto's POV)

It's been three days since Amu had collapsed. I've brought her back to the human world and she still in her coma state. Amu is indeed special, unlike all the other humans, she is the most stubborn. Her spirit is relentless, which means her soul hasn't been captured yet. When this troublesome girl finally wakes up, she won't remember anything from the time she wasn't here. In order to erase her memories temporarily, the only way is to kiss her. Not just anywhere, it has to be on the lips. I rolled my eyes in disgust, how unfortunate.

I glanced at Amu, sleeping peacefully on her bed. It's a pity she won't remember what happened last night. I hesitated before kissing her, removing her dress and replacing them with her pajamas. As I carefully laid her down on her bed, I leaned into her face and kiss her. The spell took its effect, temporarily erasing her memories of the night before. I parted my lips, smirking as I got up and quickly changed into my school uniform with a simple snap of my fingers. When she wakes up, Amu is definitely going to be shocked and start her 'you pervert!' rants as usual. I slumped in a nearby chair facing her, drained of energy from that memory-erasing kiss. I remembered last night's events, specifically of what He ordered me to accomplish.

"It seems that this human is still unwilling to let us have her soul. In that case, you will have a year from now to accomplish this task yourself, Black Cat."

"Of course, my Lord."

"It is better for you to get it finished as soon as possible, because there may be obstacles that delay you. Like that child."

"He will not interfere with my plans. Rest assured, my Lord."

"Very well. You're dismissed."

I bowed before Him. I walked to where Amu was, picked her up bridal-style, and dispersed into thin air.

A year shouldn't be a problem. The only thing that I ever have to worry about is that brat. He's definitely plotting something to stop me. Just as I was about to sleep, Amu woke up. Great, perfect timing.

(Amu's POV)

'Mm. Where am I?'

I stirred in my sleep, figuring out where I was. I noticed that I was lying on a bed, but whose? I opened my eyes slowly as the room was blurred a bit. I looked around the room and caught sight of a person. Although I couldn't see clearly, this person was sitting on a chair. Who could it be? I rubbed my eyes, and blinked a few times, looking around the room again. How did I get to my dorm room? Was I dreaming the entire time?

I glanced at the person on the chair. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I scrambled out of bed and made my way slowly to him, admiring his features at the same time. I giggled softly, he looks so cute when he's sleeping. I guess he won't mind if I touch his face. I raised my hand and reached to touch his face, but suddenly, I ended up on the floor somehow.

I looked up and saw him grinning, scratch that, he was smirking in triumph as he had pinned me to the floor. He leaned closer to my face before moving beside my ear and whispering in a husky voice,

"You've been caught. What were you trying to do?"

"Nothing! You looked cute when you were sleeping." I giggled.

"You were cute when I had to change your clothes." he laughed softly.

I pushed him away and stood up, I was in a rage.

"You sly pervert! Why did you do that for?"

"Pfft. Actually I've already seen all of you. Twice, in fact."

This guy was winning, and badly.

"You..!!"

"Unless you wanted to sleep in a dress, you would've been in a worser temper than you are now."

I stomped all the way to my closet, putting on my facade.

"Whatever. I'm going to get changed." I glanced back at him. "Who are you anyway?"

"Ikuto. College transfer student in your class. Don't you remember Amu?"

"Whatever. Get out. I don't want you watching me change."

"Fine with me."

(Ikuto's POV)

As I headed for the door, I caught sight of a note on the wall, which was pinned by a white feather. I smirked, it's from him. I summoned the note to my hand, which read:

'You won't win. I'll have her before you do Black Cat. - XXX'

I walked out of the room and close the door shut behind me. So he's finally taken the initiative to challenge me to play his game. So be it. I smirked, the game has just begun.

Gosu: Hehe.. Another cliffhanger! Can you guess who the mysterious person is?
