So this is the fourth chapter already. So someone is going to be a bit out of character on this one. But I had to do that sorry. And I know some people are a little upset because I am grounded and cannot post as much as I would want to. But please understand. My parents can't even now that I write fanfiction. If anyone is wondering how I got the idea of Gang Love, even I don't know. So enough of that. And let's move on.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo chara because if I did I would have made Amu and Ikuto go out a long time ago.

"Hey! Anybody home?" called Ikuto as he and Utau entered the door. Instead of being greeted by the usual chaos they heard silence. "Utau, something is wrong. None of them have after school activities today. You search the bottom of the house and I'll search the top." He tried to sound calm and confident for Utau. But Ikuto was scared that something had happened to Amu. "Meet me at the front door in five minutes. If anything happens yell. Remember where we hid all the arms, and whatever you do, don't get hurt." With that Ikuto and Utau separated.

"Ikuto, please be safe," said Utau as she saw Ikuto go up the stairs.

Ikuto went first to all the bedrooms. All was how it they always were. Neat and clean from Su's cleaning. Even the boys' room had everything in order. Ikuto had learned during the weekends that it took till about noon for all the rooms to be in order. So they had disappeared after lunch. The game room was empty. Everything was how it was left the day before at the library. He then went to check the state of the art control room. Inside was filled with screens and buttons. There were cameras all over the front and backyard. He went through all the tapes and saw that nobody but the gang had entered, yet nobody left. Still, they weren't there. He went over to the screen showing the secret room where they kept Rima. They had to keep cameras in there because people had tried to hurt themselves in the past. Ikuto knew that Rima would be there unless they all had left. And there, on the bed in the corner, was Rima.

"Utau! We're going to look for them outside. They may have gone somewhere and the camera didn't get them. Utau?" Ikuto was at the bottom of the stairs, but Utau was nowhere to be seen. Ikuto, fearing the worst, walked toward the open door…

"SURPRISE!"

Ikuto turned around and saw everybody with big smiles.

"What is the meaning of this?" roared Ikuto. He had been so worried about them, just so that they would jump out and surprise him. Looking behind them he was the living room decorated, and on the table was a cake. "I was worried sick about you all. And for what?" with that Ikuto stormed up the stairs and slammed the door.

"I guess he forgot," murmured Amu so that nobody heard, her eyes filling with tears. She quickly blinked them away. "Let him cool down. He'll be back to his normal self in no time." Said Amu cheerfully. But everyone could see that she had been hurt by what happened.

-At Ikuto's and Amu's Room-

"What the hell was that for?" Ikuto yelled. He knew nobody would hear him since all the rooms were sound proof for some reason. "Here I was all worried looking for them. And what were they doing? Decorating rooms and planning a party!" Ikuto started throwing things around out of anger, not caring about the mess Amu would have to clean up later. Finally, exhausted from all the worrying, anger, yelling, and making a mess he laid down on the rumpled bed. What is so special about today anyway? Ikuto thought angrily.

Knock! Knock!

"Ikuto?" Amu peeked through the gap between the door and doorframe, and noticed the mess. "Ikuto! Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?" she quickly asked, looking for any sign of blood.

She's really worried about me. Thought Ikuto. She's not even upset at what happened earlier.

"No, I'm fine. I was looking for something I couldn't find. I got so angry I guess I just threw stuff around. What? Was little Amu scared of being without me?" Ikuto smirked as he replied. He didn't want Amu to know the real reason why the room was in that state.

"No, of course not. I came to get you because it's already dinner time. Kukai wanted you to miss out but the rest of us were against it." Amu told him. She was blushing a bit from what Ikuto had said earlier. But the teen noticed a small sadness that was in the girl's eyes.

"Well, let's not keep them waiting. Let's go." With that Ikuto took Amu and they headed to the dining room.

-Some conversations at dinner later-

"So how much longer do you think Mashiro-san will last?" Utau asked Ikuto. They all knew that so far, Rima had made no sign of wanting to join them.

"I don't know Utau," Ikuto replied. "She has held out longer than most people."

"Amu-chi still has the longest record though," said Yaya cheerfully.

"Yeah, Hinamori lasted for about two weeks. All we needed to get you to join, Yaya, was give you candy." Everyone started to laugh, even Yaya, after what Kukai said. But it was true. All of them except Amu had joined within a week.

"I know Nadeshiko joined because I was already part of Black Lynx." Nagihiko teased his older twin sister.

"Well you joined just because Souma-kun offered you a match in basketball." She told him back calmly. Soon everyone was laughing, telling stories, and jokes.

"Nadeshiko, can you prepare a tray for Mashiro-san?" Asked Amu half an hour later.

"Coming right away Amu-chan!" Nadeshiko quickly set the tray and gave it to Amu.

Everyone had helped clean up and were now relaxing. Nagihiko and Kukai played basketball while Daichi and Ran raced. They were being cheered on by Iru, Miki, and Dia. Nadeshiko, Yaya, Temari, Pepe, and Su were talking about sweets, Utau was writing songs with Eru. Ikuto and Yoru were playing with yarn. There were just chilin when Amu ran up to them.

"Mashiro-san said that she wanted in!" All took a moment to realize what Amu had said. Kukai was the first to gather his train of thought.

"So you still have the record, Hinamori. Not bad." They all glared at him and set to work quickly. In a room right next to the one where Rima was located they set out items. A circle of candles, a big white egg that was the dormant Embroyo, and more. Soon Amu lead Rima to the room. When the blindfold was taken off, all Rima saw was a round table holding many items. She was surrounded by a circle of people dressed in black cloaks holding candles. The tallest one stood in front of her on the other side of the table.

"Mashiro Rima-san, you have said that you want to join the Black Lynx. Is it true?" the figure asked.

"Yes, I do." Replied a timid Rima.

"Very well. Do you swear on the Embroyo not to betray us? Do you swear on Kusukusu to be one of us and always help your partners?" hearing Kusukusu's name Rima was startled. How did they know about Kusukusu?

"Yes, I do swear not to betray you, to be one of you, and always help my partners."

"Then sign this page." The figure passed to her a book and a quill pen. Rima quickly signed. Right after that the lights were turned on and they all took off their black cloaks.

"Welcome Mashiro-San. My name is Hinamori Amu. These are my charas Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia." Said a pink haired girl.

"I'm the Boss, Tsukiyomi Ikuto. Yoru is my chara. And Amu is my little strawberry." The blue haired teen said earning a punch from the girl. Soon they had all introduced themselves and their charas.

"Sorry, but you'll have to sleep in the room you were in for tonight. You probably want to buy some things tomorrow." Said Ikuto.

-One and a Half Hour Later-

Everyone had gone to bed an hour ago. Soon they were all asleep except Ikuto. He had noticed that mu had been acting a bit strange since he got back, and he dint know why. He laid there, next to her, thinking for a while, falling asleep. Just before losing conscious he finally remembered that today was one year after he had officially met Amu.

Okay how was that? I know Ikuto was out of character, but they never showed him really mad so I had to do that. If anyone was wondering why I made it T, it's because I don't want younger kids getting ideas and then making their own gangs. If you have any suggestions or questions please comment. Rate and review please.
