A/N: Okay sorry the last chapter was so short but I got sleepy and my stories suck when I'm sleepy. Please read and review. Small Ikuto/Amu zest. Also this story gets REALLY good...hehe, or at least I think so.

-IKUTO'S POV-

"What do you want Ikuto?" Amu asked, glaring at me with her honey colored eyes. She had changed so much from the little elementary school girl I first met. No she was a quiet and somewhat reserved middle schooler who had grown up quite nicely. I smirked at her then walked over and sat down next to her. She never took her eyes off me.

"Does he?" I asked, ignoring her earlier question.

"Hmph." Was all she said.

"Well if he can't satisfy your needs I'm always availible." I said with a smirk. Her face grew red and she glared at me even more.

"Pervert, what makes you think I'd even want you to touch-"

I cut her off by pinning her to the ground and kissing her on the cheek. I pulled back and saw her face was beat red. I smiled to myself as I looked down at her.

"W-why'd you do that?" She finally asked.

"Because you looked too cute." I said with a smirk.

"Pervert, get off me." She said trying to push me off any way she could, but the way she was moving underneath me was having a certain effect on my body. She froze when she felt the bulge in my black, leather pants press against the inside of her thighs. I couldn't hold back the moan of pleasure as her body moved against mine.

"Ikuto get off me!" She yelled, but I didn't move.

I was too afraid of what moving against her, even if it was just to get off her, might do to me.

"Not until you finish what you started." I said smirking down at her red face.

"What!"

-AMU'S POV-

'What the hell? How did I even get in this kind of situation? Oh that's right, Ikuto was being perverted again.'

"What do you mean finish what I started? You're the one who pinned me down to begin with, now get off!" I said as I tried pushing him of fme again. I stopped when the bulge in his pants pressed against my innerthigh. I bit my lip to keep in my moan of pleasure. I had never felt anything like this before, and as much as I like it, I definately didn't want to have sex with Ikuto.

"Simple, find a way to make it go away." He said, adding emphasis to 'it'. I blushed at the thought of having to do something about the bulge in his pants then an idea came to me.

'He has a neko shugo chara right? So then he's like a cat right? Maybe if I...'

I brought my hand up and scratched the back of his head. He started purring and I barely held in my laughter. His dark blue eyes closed and his head tilted back into my hand as I scratched it. I noticed the bulge in his pants disappear and couldn't help but smile at the look on his face. He looked so cute. I stopped scratching his head and he whimpered. I laughed and started scratching his head again. He sighed and started purring again. He rolled off me and laid beside me with his head in my lap while I scratched it. Soon I realized he was asleep. I stopped scratching his head and slowly got up. I walked to the door leading back into the school. I turned and looked back at a sleeping Ikuto and smiled before slipping through the door and heading to the cafeteria for lunch.

-NORMAL POV-

Amu couldn't help smile as she went through the lunch line. She saw Rima, Yaya, Koukai, and Nagihiko sitting at a table and went to join them. As she sat down her charas all flew up to her and bombarded her with questions.

"Did you sort everything out?" Ran asked.

"Are you going to tell him desu?" Su asked.

"What are you going to do Amu?" Miki asked.

"Have you made up your mind Amu?" Dai asked.

Amu couldn't help but laugh at her charas. When she finally calmed down she answered all their questions with one simple sentence.

"Yes, I've made up my mind, I'm going to tell him the truth after lunch."

"That's good." Ran, Miki, and Dai said in unison. Su remained quiet.

"What's wrong Su?" Amu asked worried about the little green chara.

"If you do this won't you be lonely desu?" Su asked in a sad tone. Amu froze, she hadn't thought of it that way. After a while she miled and looked at her charas.

"Don't worry Su, I won't be lonely I have you guys." Amus aid hugging her charas close. When she finally let them go they were all smiling.

"What was all that about?" Rima asked.

"Oh nothing. Just talking about something I have to do after lunch." Amu said taking a bite out of her apple.

"What are you going to do after lunch? Remember Tadase said to meet at the Big Tree after lunch." Nagihiko asked as he took a bite of his sandwich.

"I know, it's just something I have to do." Amu said hoping to drop the subject.

"Oh, okay." Nagihiko said, finally getting that Amu didn't want to talk about it anymore. They finished lunch talking about classes, things they had done over the last few weeks of summer, and what they planned to do this coming weekend. They all threw away their trash and headed for the Big Tree behind the school. At first it was akward not meeting in the designated Guardian clubhouse, but ever since Tadase's fanclub found out he and Amu were dating it was no longer safe to hold meetings there. So now they met at the base of the Big Tree and sometimes they'd climb it's branches while discussing what they should do for the school, or what they should do when X-eggs showed up. They finally reached the tree to see Tadase standing beneath it with a girl by his side. Amu, Yaya, Koukai, Rima, and Nagihiko stopped right infront of Tadase. Everyone was glaring at the girl who was clinging to Tadase's side, but no one wanted to be the first to speak. Finally Rima couldn't take it anymore.

"Tadase, who is this?" She asked, pointing towards the girl at Tadase's side. He slid his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Her name is Annie." He said calmly.

"Okay. Well Tadase, what are you doing holding another girl like that when you have a girlfriend, who by the way, is standing right here!" Rima said snapping at the Guardian's King.

"I'm not doing anything wrong." Tadase said.

"Oh? What in the world makes you say that?" Nagihiko and Rima asked in unison. Both becoming angry with their king and friend.

"Because, I'm holding my girlfriend." Tadase said. That's when all hell broke loose.

"What! Girlfriend? Your girlfriend is standing right there!" Rima said pointing towards Amu who was watching the scene play out before her with teary eyes. Sure she didn't like Tadase like that anymore, but he still didn't have the right to treat her like this.

"She's not my girlfriend anymore." Tadase said coldly.

"What!" Rima and Nagihiko asked in unison. Both were trying to figure out if something had happened to their friend. Amu was the best thing that had ever happened to him, they couldn't understand how he could treat her like this.

"Just like I said. She's not my girlfriend anymore. Towards the end of our relationship I realized she had become withdrawn and at times cold. I could tell she no longer felt the same about me, but she still kept me thinking she did. She's nothing more than a cold, ugly, whiney bitch." Tadase said in a matter-of-fact tone, as if it were the most obvious thing int he world. Silence followed Tadase's explanation, then Rima, Nagihiko, and Koukai erupted.

"What did you just say?" Rima asked.

"You heard me." Tadase said pulling Annie closer to him and kissing her lightly on the forehead before turning back to look at all the guardians.

-AMU'S POV-

I couldn't believe my ears. Is that really what Tadase thought of me? Sure I wasn't the perfect girlfriend towards the end, but I couldn't help it that my feelings for him changed. I felt tears rolling down my face when Tadase called me a cold, ugly, whiney bitch. That hurt, even if I didn't like him anymore that hurt.

"Amu is the best thing that ever happened to you you ungrateful pompous ass!" Koukai said and Rim and Nagihiko agreed.

"I'm ungrateful? Ha! If anyone's ungrateful it's that bitch there." Tadase said pointing in my direction.

"Me?" I asked.

"Yeah you. We let you into the Guardians, we let you hang with us, we fought by your side against the X-eggs. I thought you were cool and really cute, but these past two weeks have been the worst two weeks of my life. You were cold towards me, you barely paid me any attention, and any time I tried taking you out on a date you'd come up with some lame ass excuse. You're fucking pathetic. We're over." Tadase said. I looked around at my friends. Rima and Nagihiko were holding back a very pissed off Koukai, though they themselves looked like they wanted a piece of Tadase. Yaya looked lost. Ran, Dai, Su, and Kusukusu were all trying to hold back Daichi, Miki, and Rhythm. The look on Kiseki's face made me pissed, but when he mouthed the word 'bitch' I lost it. I ran past Rima, Nagihiko, and Koukai and launched myself at Tadase. I hit him square in the face and I heard the distinctive sound of his nose breaking. THe added weight of the both of us had him loosing his footing and he fell back. As we fell I saw Rhythm and Miki break free from the others and attack Kiseki. I pinned Tadase down and started beating the hell out of him. He put his hands up trying to block my fists, but it didn't really help.

"You ass! I can't fucking help it if my feelings for you changed. I was going to tell you that I thought it would be best if we were just friends, but now I wouldn't want to be your friend even if you fucking payed me!" I yelled at him as I hit his already broken nose. He started to cry and I smiled on the inside. Koukai, Nagihiko, and Rima pulled me off him and held me back.

"Amu, calm down." Rima said.

"No! He needs to feel what I feel. He had no right to call me what he did." I said trying tob reakf ree and get back to beating the living hell out of Tadase.

"He does deserve to pay, but you shouldn't have to be the one to do it." Nagihiko said trying to reason with me. I stopped fighting against them and couldn't help the tears from falling down my face.

"But if I don't do it then who will?" I asked in a whisper.

None of them said anything.

"You know what Amu, the only reason we let you into the guardians was because you had so many chara eggs. We let you hang with us because we needed you to find the embryo. We fought alongside you because you were the only one who knew we could clense X-eggs instead of killing them." Tadase said. I broke away from Koukai and Nagihiko and punched Tadase in the face again. He fell back holding his nose and started whining. Koukai, Nagihiko, and Rima pulled me back again.

I looked back at Tadase whow as getting help from his little whore. He looked pathetic and it almost made me smile.

"You bitch!" Annie said turning to me. I lookeda t her in surprise. I certainly hadn't expected that.

"You crazy ass bitch! Just because he dumped you you flip out and attack him. No wonder he didn't want to be with you."

Before I could even say anything in return to that Rima walked up to her and slapped her. Annie held a hand up to her abused cheek before slapping Rima in return. I tried going to Rima to back her up, but Nagihiko stopped me. I looked up at him sto see him shaking his head. I turned back in time to see Rima punch Annie square in the face. She fell to the ground crying, holding her nose. Rima came to stand beside us again and I couldn't help but smile at her. I turned to look at the two before us and laughed. Both lokked up at me like I was crazy, maybe I was.

"Tadase if anyone here is pathetic it's your pompous ass. You guys may have let me join the Guardians, but without me you wouldn't have realized you could save the X-eggs instead of destroying them. You may ahve let me hang with you, but we stuck together because we were all Guardians and were friends. We fought side by side because we protected each other. I'm glad I no longer hold feelings for you anymore. you know why? Because, your a spoiled, pompous, little whiney-ass baby who can't stand to be by himself for even one second so you go out and try to find people you can manipulate. You went and found your little whore because you were afraid of being alone once I left you. Your nothing but a pathetic little wannabe king, and you know what else?" I paused letting everything I had just said sink in.

"You can go fuck yourself."

With that I turned around and walked away. Rima, Nagihiko, and Koukai were shocked at what I'd said, but soon followed me after calling Tadase a few more names. Ran, Miki, Su, Dai, Kusukusu, Daichi, and Rhythm all followed too. Yaya and her chara stood there confused until following all of us back into the school. Lunch ahd ended about twenty minutes ago and we were all late for our fourth periods, but we didn't care. I said bye to Yaya, Koukai, and Nagihiko who had classes on the left of the hall. Rima and I had classes ont eh right. We ran to Rima's class and caught our breath before Rima opened the door. The teacher stopped and turned towards us.

"Ah, Ms. Mashiro. How nice of you to finally join us."

"Sorry sensei, but I had to..." Rima trailed off obviously trying to think of some kind of excuse.

"We had to help a couple of classmates fine the nurse's office."

I finished for her. Rima gave me a grateful smile before hurrying inside to her seat. I bowed to the teacher then walked down the hall towards the gym.

"Amu, are we not going to class again?" Ran asked.

"No, I don't feel like dealing with teachers right now. And besides, I'm already late."

I explained to my charas. i could feel theyw ere all worried about me, but I ignored thema nd kept walking. I wound up on the roof again. I closed the door behind me and slid downt he side of the outlook building. I brought my knees to my chest and put my head down as the tears fell down my face. Even though I don't like Tadase anymore, having the guy I'd had my first crush on call me all those names hurt. It also made me wonder, if that's how he sees me is that how every other guy sees me? Am I ever going to find love? Or am I destined to be alone?

-NORMAL POV-

"Amu, what's wrong desu?" Su asked floating closer to her bearer.

"Imestindbelone." Amu mumbled without raising her head and her charas had trouble understanding her.

"What?" Miki asked as she and her sisters flew closer to Amu hoping to get a clear answer this time. Amu raised her head and wiped her eyes with the back of her hands.

"I'm destined to be alone." Amu said in a small voice.

"That's not ture Amu! You have us desu." Su Said.

"Su's right Amu, and you have Rima, Naghikio, and the others too." Ran added.

"Yeah, but the only reason they even talked to me was because I had three chara eggs. They didnt' come up and talk to me for me, they only got to know the real me afterwards." Amu said laying her head down again.

"Amu..." All her charas said in unison. They didn't know what to do to console their bearer. They were at a loss, even Dai. The chara that could see glimpses of Amu's future.

"Why?" Amu asked suddenly and all four of her charas looked up hoping to be able to do something to help.

"Why can't I find someone to love who love me in return?"

Amu asked as she started crying again.

"Aaahh!" Dai screamed and all her sisters turned to see Dai being pushed back into her egg.

"Dai!" They all yelled.

"Amu, we've got to help dai." Ran said, but Amu couldn't hear her. Ran turned back to her sister.

"Dai what do we do?" Miki asked.

"Calm don. Go find Ikuto, he'll be able to help." Dai said as her egg closed around her.

"Dai!" Ran, Miki, and su yelled.

"Go find Ikuto, hurry!" Dai yelled from inside her egg.

"How? We don't know where he is desu?" Su asked.

"Find Yoru, then find Ikuto. Hurry!" Dai's voice said from inside her egg before it fell to the ground lifeless.

"Come on girls, let's hurry and find Yoru." Ran said as she flew off in search of the neko chara. Su looked back at Dai's egg and her crying bearer before flying off after Ran. Miki didn't even look at Amu before taking off. A few minutes after her charas left Amu lifted her head and saw they were gone.

'Probably left me to be by myself. Event heyd on't care about me, despite what they said.'

Amu thought bitterly and more tears felld own her already tear stained face.
