Yumiko: Hey, I got this chapter up as fast as I could.

Ikuto: Let's start the chappie!

Amu: disclaimer: Yumiko does not own shugo chara or any of it's characters!


Normal POV:

The day had finally come. Ikuto's graduation. Utau was sitting with Kukai, checking her watch every now and then.

'Where the hell is he!?' she thought furiously.

At that thought, a car screeched in front of the yard, causing everyone's heads to turn toward it. Utau stomped furiously towards the car with Kukai following close behind her.

''What the hell Ikuto!?'' She yelled at the man with midnight blue hair. He turned to her, with his infamous smirk plastered on his face.

''Things got a little frisky.'' He said as he pointed to Amu. Amu blushed and nudged him.

''I-It's not like that!'' Amu yelled unconvincingly.

Utau gave Ikuto a disgusted look, then turned to Amu. She blushed as she gazed down at Amu's shirt.

''U-Um...Amu you got a few...button's loose'' Utau said while pointing to Amu's shirt. Amu looked down only to blush. She was right. Half the buttons on Amu's shirt were undone. Amu struggled with the buttons, trying to get the done.

Kukai laughed as he made his way over to Amu's side of the car.

''Finally became an adult, hey?'' He said to her jokingly as he put his arm around her shoulders.

''K-Kukai!'' Amu shouted. She began to wrestle with Kukai, trying to get him to be quiet.

Ikuto was partially annoyed by this. He got out of the car. Amu and Kukai turned their heads as they heard the car door slam. Ikuto was stomping off toward the stage. Amu noticed his graduation uniform in the car seat.

''Ikuto!'' Amu called. Ikuto turned around to see Amu, holding up his cap and gown. He made his way over and kissed her cheek, while taking the uniform out of her hands.

''Thanks'' He said gratefully. Amu smiled and gazed toward the stage.

''Shoo,shoo Ikuto! go graduate!'' She said while motioning him to leave. He smiled, slipped on his gown and cap while making his way toward the stage. As he walked he heard two girls talking.

''Ne,ne! don't you think Ikuto-san is cute?'' One said to the other.

''Totally! I just don't understand why he's with that Hinamori-girl, I mean we're much prettier.'' The other sneered. Ikuto stopped in his tracks. He turned to the two girls and made his way over.

''Hey, you two'' He called. They turned and smiled.

''Get a fucking life. You think gossiping makes you superior? It doesn't it makes you shallow whores.'' He said coldly. The girl's smiles faded instantly.

''Don't talk about Amu as is you know her,'' He started.

''You may think your pretty, but all I see are two 's way prettier than you, and I'm sure any guy here would agree with me.'' He scoffed.

''At least Amu had the decency not to lose her virginity at age 13.'' He snapped. He paused before turning back to them. The girls stared at him in disbelief.

''Mind your own business'' He said before walking back to the stage. The girls shook in fear.

Ikuto took his seat on the bench with his other classmates as Kukai,Utau, and Amu sat in the audience.

The principle made his way over to the podium.

Amu's POV:

So, yeah. The principle started talking about how proud he was, be careful of future decision, blah, blah, something about ham, and blah.

The principle then called the valedictorian to the stage. I expected some nerdy-guy, but no one came up. The principle said into the microphone:

''Please welcome, our valedictorian, Ikuto Tsukiyomi!'' He shouted. Everyone was silent as Ikuto made his way to the podium. He smirked at me.

Ikuto looked around the audience confused.
''What's wrong?'' He said into the microphone.

''I can't be smart and sexy?'' He said. The audience laughed.

''Anyway, I'm here representing my class for their graduation.'' He said.
The audience clapped. Ikuto smiled.

''See, when I first came here...I didn't really care about anything...In fact, I didn't know why I came here at the time.'' He said

''It felt as though, something was pulling me back here...'' He trailed off.

''I realized what it was after some time of being here.'' He told us.

''Love.'' He said simply.

''My excuse to leave, was to find my father, but that wasn't why I left...I guess I was just running away from my love.'' He told the audience.

'' I had a deep love for someone here, and didn't realize it until I left...'' He looked down.

My heart started to accelerate as tear began to sting in my eyes.

''What I'm trying to say is,'' He started. He turned to his classmates.

''Never run from something you love, always take a risk for it'' He said to them. He turned back to the audience, and smiled at me.I smiled back at him as the tears started flowing down my cheeks.

''Thank you.'' He said to us. The audience roared with applause as he took his seat.

The principle came back up to the podium, and talked some more. After he was done talking, he started handing out diploma's. It went from the A's to the D's to the J's all the way down to T's.

''Trutuko Ryoko.'' The principle said as he handed a girl with purple hair her diploma.

''Tsukiyomi Ikuto.'' The principle called. Kukai, Utau and I burst out of our seats applauding. He smirked at us as he grabbed his diploma. Before he walked off the stage, he grabbed the microphone.

''My future's waiting.'' He said as he raised his diploma in the air. The audience roared with applause.


Ikuto's POV:

After the graduation, Utau suggested we go out to eat. Amu sat beside me while across the table, Kukai sat beside Utau. The waiter came up to us with a notepad and pen in hand.

''May I take your order?'' He asked.

'No dip-shit you can't, we're just gonna sit here until we get bored, then leave...Heavy sarcasm intended' I rolled my eyes at the thought.

''I'll have a bowl of ramen, make it large'' Utau told him. Kukai narrowed his eyes at her.

''Wanna race?'' He challenged.

''Your on, pretty boy'' She snapped.

''Make that two.'' Kukai said, his gaze never leaving Utau's.

''And for this lovely couple?'' He asked Amu and I.

''I'll have the 'Love my Nuggets Special'.'' I said, trying to stifle a laugh.

Amu giggled quietly as he wrote down the order.

''And for you?'' He said turning towards Amu.

''Spaghetti with t-tomato s-s-sauce.'' She said through giggles. As soon as the waiter was out of ear-shot we burst out laughing.

''What kind of a name is 'Love my Nuggets' for a food item!?'' Amu exclaimed laughing.

''I know. Furthermore, who would name something that on their menu?'' I asked laughing lightly.

When we stopped laughing, Amu turned to me.

''So, how does it feel to be out of school?'' Amu asked me.

''Pretty great , I guess'' I shrugged. Amu's expression turned into a sad one as she looked down.

''Amu? Is everything okay?'' I asked while patting her back.

Amu sat up straight almost Immediately, and gave me a forced smile.

''I'm fine!'' She told me. I didn't believe it, but I shrugged it off.

The waiter came back with our food, and set it down in front of us. I saw Amu's eyes go wide as she stared at the food. I chuckled lightly watching her grab the fork excitedly.I smirked as an idea popped into my mind. I grabbed a piece of loose pasta that was hanging off from Amu's fork and popped it into my mouth. She stared at me confused as I leaned toward her, all the while slurping the noodle. She dropped the fork, but the pasta in my mouth, untangled itself from the fork. I leaned towards her more, coming closer to her face. She leaned forward as well, the noodle disappearing into her mouth. surprised, I more toward her faster.

It wasn't long before our lips met in the middle, biting off our piece of the pasta while doing so. As she swallowed the pasta she smiled.

''Quite a meal.'' She commented. I laughed as I placed my arm around her waist. I looked across the table to see Kukai and Utau staring at us in disgust.

''Uh...we'll be going now!'' Kukai yelled as he grabbed Utau's hand and ran out the door. (A/N: Small Kutau moment there :3)

I looked back from Kukai's retreating form to the table. I growled, and turned back to the door.

''KUKAI! YOU BASTARD! YOU LEFT US WITH THE CHECK!'' I shouted. Amu laughed as she tried to hush me.


Amu's POV:

We went back to Ikuto's house. As I stepped inside a 4-month old puppy came running towards me.

''Yuuki-chan!'' I called happily as I crouched down, and held my arms open for the puppy. I heard Ikuto chuckle as he saw me pick up the dog in my arms. He walked towards me and smirked.

''This furry bastard causes a lot of trouble.'' He said while tapping the dog's nose. Yuuki bit his finger, and growled slightly. Ikuto frowned and growled back, holding his finger. I laughed while walking towards the couch in the living room. I sat down with Yuuki in my lap, him slowly drifting to sleep as I stroked his fur.

I looked up to see Ikuto, reading over his diploma. A wave of sadness suddenly hit me.

'When Ikuto goes to university...we won't be a couple anymore, right?'

Ikuto sat down beside me, snapping me out of my thoughts.

''Something wrong, Amu?'' He asked. I forced a smile.

''N-Nope! Nothing at all!'' I lied. He eyed me suspiciously.

''Your acting sucks, might as well tell me,'' He shrugged. I could hold it any longer, tears started to pour out of my eyes. I placed Yuuki on the couch beside me gently. I clung onto Ikuto's shirt and started to sob. He started to pat my back, and kiss the top of my head.

''Amu, tell me...please?'' He breathed soothingly into my ear. I looked up at him with a tear-stained face.

''W-When you go to university, we m-might not be a c-couple any m-more.'' I managed to choke out. Ikuto stared at me shocked.

''Why would you say that?'' He asked.

''Because, you might go to a university far away,'' I started.

''O-Or leave me for some college girl.'' I said to him.

''Amu,'' Ikuto started.

''I would never go to a university far away from you. It would pain me as much as it pained you.'' He told me.

''And, I wouldn't leave you for a college girl, ever. '' He said.

''P-Promise?'' I asked. He smiled and pulled me in an embrace.

''Promise.'' He said as he linked his pinky with mine.

''I love you, Ikuto.'' I told him.

''I love you too, Amu.'' He said to me. He pulled away from me and frowned.

''But, I don't like that shirt your wearing. So, let's take it off.'' He said. I rolled my eyes.

''Your such a pervert.'' I said.

''I don't like those pants either.'' He said glancing down at my black skinny-jeans.

''Ikuto...'' I warned.

''And, even though I can't see them, I don't like your panties.'' He smirked.

''IKUTO!'' I yelled.

I got up from the couch, and started to run. Ikuto followed close behind me. I suddenly smiled.

'We are one messed up couple...'

Ikuto tackled me, and pinned my hands down.

''Now, shall we take our game to the bed?'' He asked me.

I laughed as he picked me up bridal style, and carried me to his room.
