Okay so here is the next chapter. Remember that in the last chapter Amu had left because she was angry with Ikuto. And she bumped into Tadase. I was listening to all sorts of music while writing this. This was hard to write because I had a humongous writers block. I just wish Evelyn-chan was here so she could edit it for me. Sadly she moved and does not have internet so that I could send it to her. Recently I have been drawing what I think the girls would look older, except I have trouble getting Amu's style.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo chara or any of the names. Make that I only own the idea.

"I hope I didn't hurt you," Tadase told Amu, while helping her up.

"I'm fine. It was my fault anyway." Amu responded absent mindedly. Right now a million of things were running through her head. Then, she suddenly noticed something. "Oh Kami! I can't believe that I got lost!"

"Oh you are?" Tadase asked her. She seemed vaguely familiar. He thought of Amu, the girl he had loved. She looked like her, but this girl's hair was black. And she didn't have Amu's honey colored eyes. "Um… I'm Hotori Tadase. What's your name?"

Amu felt the urge to tell him the truth. But a year of half her life being a lie, she told him the like that she had been trained to say. "Rina. My name is Toin Rina." But that reminded her, the reason why she was there. Why she had left the house so early.

"Well Toin-san, where are you heading? Shouldn't you be in school?" Tadase was very curious. The girl was so pretty. The blond streaks made her hair look shinier. Her eyes were as black as the night sky.

Amu looked closely at him before answering. "No. I am vising my onii-san and onee-chan. I live out of the city. How about you?" Amu was almost completely rid of her cool 'n' spicy character. Her new personality was made of a bit of coldness, rudeness, emotionless, and a tiny spark of spiciness.

"Well, I was skipping class to go on a date with my girlfriend. Her name is Yamabuki Saaya. She might know your siblings though, so she can lead you to them." He responded.

-At the Other Side of Town-

Ikuto was looking all over town for Amu. He had posted pictures of her in her disguise in case anybody had seen her. So far he had no luck. He remembered the first time he had seen her.

-'Bout a Year and a Month Ago-

"Yo Ikuto! Do I have news for you." Kukai had found Ikuto studying the Embroyo again.

"It better be good Kukai. You just interrupted a very crucial moment." Ikuto was annoyed anytime somebody interrupted n him, even if it was to eat. Ever since they had finally gotten the Embroyo, he had studied it closely. So far he knew at the most, half of what it was or did.

"Well if our honorable Boss would listen, Yaya made a decision already. She plans to stay with us. You also should start looking for the next person." Kukai was the one who took track of the people kidnapped. He found out everything about them. There was nothing he didn't know.

"Very well. So now a boy right?" Ikuto asked him. The gang all together decided if a boy or girl was taken.

"Actually Ikuto, we decided another girl. They listen more than guys. Remember all the trouble by Nagi?" Nagihiko had almost killed himself in order to leave. It had taken them a week to finally make him understand.

"Well that it true. Okay. Tell Utau that I'm going to be gone for a while. Don't wait for me." With that Ikuto left into the night with Yoru. "Tell me if you sense any charas or eggs." He walked without caring where he was going like he always did when looking for new targets. The he was a flash of pink. He noticed it was a girl with cotton candy pink hair.

"Kami I'm late! The dance was so long." She turned to something at her shoulder, Ikuto guessing a Shugo chara. "Ran, Chara change~"

"All right Amu-chan." Was heard by both Ikuto and Yoru. All of a sudden the girl jumped and seemed to fly!

"Ne, Ikuto ~nya. That girl has more than one chara ~nya." Yoru told Ikuto. But instead of answering, Ikuto just stared in the direction of which the girl had gone.

"Amu huh…" Ikuto seemed to be in a trance. "Let's go Yoru. We have found your next target." Somewhere in the town, a bell rang midnight.

Upon returning, Ikuto was still thinking of the girl. There had been a full moon, meaning plenty of light, so he had been able to see her clearly. She obviously was very pretty. And would be very powerful if she had more than one chara like Yoru had said.

"Happy birthday Ikuto!" everyone cried and came out behind the pieces of furniture.

"Guys you should all be asleep already! But thanks anyway." Ikuto tried to brush it off but he was glad.

Utau hugged he brother. "Well it is your eighteenth birthday." After cake and milk Ikuto made an announcement.

"As you all know, next month we have to take in another person. And I have found our new target. As you all voted it is a girl. I only know her given name, Amu. She has at the least one Shugo chara called Ran, though Yoru says she has more which will mean that we will become more powerful. Kukai, I want for you to look her up and find everything you can about her. If there is more than one tell me so I can identify her. And now, everyone to bed. I have work tomorrow and you all have school. We may be the Black Lynx but that doesn't mean we are uneducated."

-Present-

Who would have thought that I would have fallen in love with her? Thought Ikuto. He had gotten to the other side of town. Soon he had arrived at the place where he first saw her. "Amu…" Ikuto started to curse himself over and over again for forgetting their most important day. All of a sudden he thought he heard her voice.

"Oh I hope so. I just hope that they didn't skip school to look for me." Ikuto had finally found her. He recognized the long black wig and black leather combat boots he had given her for her birthday.

When he was close by he finally saw who she was talking to. It was her ex-boyfriend! Ikuto hated that bright blonde hair, and ruby eyes. Even though he and Amu were practically dating he dint like seeing her with guys other than him, Kukai, and Nagihiko. He got behind her and firmly pulled her away from him.

"Oh! Ik-I-It's you Uruki! What are you doing here? And where is onii-san and onee-chan?" Amu was scared and surprised at seeing Ikuto there.

"I convinced them to go to school and I would look for you." Ikuto turned to Tadase. "Stay away from her. Jif I ever see you again, you won't live to see the next sunrise. Then he left taking Amu with him. After a while Amu suddenly stopped.

"I'm really sorry for having left. I woke up early but with too many things going through my head. So I left planning only to be gone for a while. I…I." with that Amu started to cry.

"No Amu. I'm the one who should be sorry. It was my fault. I forgot what was yesterday. It all happened because of me." He hugged her tightly and kissed her gently. "I am glad that you are okay. I don't know what I would have done without you."

-Tadase-

"There you are Kiseki. Where were you?" Tadase asked his chara.

"Behind you, watching you flirt with at girl. She didn't have a hearts egg Tadase." Kiseki replied.

"She reminded me of Amu. But I'm dating Saaya now…" Tadase stopped in midsentence.

"You should stop seeing her. Saaya has been cheating on you." Kiseki told him uninterestedly.

-Back with Amu and Ikuto-

Ikuto's phone rang soon after finding Amu.

"Ikuto ~nya? Amu's charas are barely just coming out of their eggs ~nya." Yoru reported.

"Good. I have to go now. Bye." Ikuto hanged up and turned to Amu. "Hey lets go on a date on Saturday. What do you say?"

Amu blushed before answering, "Sure, I would love to."

Okay not one of my greatest works but oh well. Don't kill me please. Okay so the usual. GO AMUTO! So yeah. This is not, I repeat not the last chapter. There is more ahead. So rate and review. If you have any ideas feel free to tell me because I am prone to writers block. ^.^
