Hey guys! How was your Valentines Day? Mine was horrid! I got a horrible stomachache the night before and woke up at three in the morning to clenching stomach pains. So, I'm going to try and take my mind off it with writing! I hope you like it! (And yes, I know it's not valentine's day anymore, but it's better late than never, right?)

Disclaimer: I do not own 'Shugo Chara!' or any of the characters, just the story that I am writing.


*In the morning*

Amu's P.O.V:

I wake up to something warm holding me, I shuffle into it and look up to see two sapphire eyes staring down at me. "Ikuto!"

"Good morning, you sure were sleeping soundly, comfortably even…" his smirk was growing bigger by the second

"Shut up, you idiot!" I sigh

"You don't seem to be fighting back as much, are you ok? Or is it that you've gotten used to me?" I push him away just in time, I was still half asleep and I didn't know what I was doing! That pervert!

"Whatever!" I jump up and point to the door "Just get out! We have school today and if Utau or Kukai sees us, we'll be dead meat!"

(Meanwhile, with Utau and Kukai…)

Utau's P.O.V:

"So… How'd you sleep?" I asked awkwardly, blushing. He's so cute! I've never liked anyone other than Ikuto before, what is this?

"Fine… How 'bout you?" not good, I was thinking about him all night long and couldn't get to sleep!

"Good." I dull fully reply

"It doesn't look like it." He mumbles under his breath, but I head him

"Oi!" we both burst out laughing and can't stop!

(Back to Ikuto and Amu…)

Ikuto's P.O.V:

"Good point." I praise, thinking about when Kukai saw me kiss Amu. If she finds out, I might just die! "If they found us, they'd probably pull our arms and take us away from each other. We wouldn't want that, would we?" Haha, I love doing this to her!

"No, we wouldn't." she smirks at me. DON'T BLUSH IKUTO! DON'T BLUSH! "Hehe, got you! You should have seen the look on your face!"

"Don't try to out-tease me! Remember, I'm the original playboy here."

"Don't worry king, I won't steal your crown, now get out!"

"Ok, ok!" I move towards the door, and as I'm just about to go I stop and say "Don't take too long." Then wink at her, she blushes crimson as I stroll out of the room, smirking. I've still got it.


Kukai's P.O.V:

"Amu! Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, just a second!" she runs down stairs, looking like she's rushing, she must think she's late again… It's official, she's an idiot.

"Amu, it's 6:42am. You're not late."

"Oh, haha! Sorry!"

"Anyway, I saw something interesting last night when I went to get some water." She had a flushed look on her face "I wonder if I should tell everyone? Maybe Utau?"

"No! Anyone but her!"

"Oh, so I can tell other people?"

"You wouldn't…"

"I would!"

"What do you want?"

"You know me so well, Amu…"

3… 2… 1…

"NO WAY!" she screams

"It's not that bad is it?"

"Yes, yes it is."

"You only have to answer three questions for me…"

"Exactly my point, you'll ask me weird questions about Ikuto which I won't want to answer!"

"Oh, and what questions exactly would I ask?"

"Y-You know…"

"Enlighten me!"

"I-I-If I like him or not, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT! I DON'T KNOW!" she is so in love! Too bad she has a boyfriend…

"I won't ask you anything yet, only when I think it necessary!" I assure her

"Which will mean you'll ask me in front of Ikuto, or worse, everyone! I have a boyfriend you know!" she reasons

"That won't work on me, I can see right through you! Are you really satisfied with you and Usui's relationship right now?"

"If you can see right through me then why are you asking?"

"I just want to clarify." I state calmly

"Is that one of your questions?"

"On a later date, yes, but not right now. It's not necessary."

"When will it be necessary?" Ikuto strolls down the stairs with a smirk on his face, I smirk back at him

"I-Ikuto?" Amu stutters

"Soon… Very soon…" I reply with no doubt

"I'll be looking forward to it."

"YOU PERVERT!" Amu screams, me and Ikuto both burst out into fits of laughter

"I wouldn't mind if everyone knew." Ikuto, you took it a bit too far…

"What about Usui? Huh? Did you think of him?"

"The question here is: did you think of him?" Ikuto replies looking down in anger, his hair covering his face

"Would you mind if everyone, including Amu, knew about your secret though?" I'm sorry Ikuto, I know it's hard for you seeing Amu with someone else, but you went too far...

"Huh, what secret?" asks Amu, confused

"N-Nothing! It's nothing!" wow I didn't see that coming, Ikuto stuttering? Has the world gone topsy turvy?

"Ok then… Well I'm off to school!" Weird… Amu must've already seen him stuttering, because she didn't react… Which means only one thing!

"Why are you going so early?" Ikuto asks

"So that I can help out with my club, you know the track club…"

"Why do you still go to that?" Ikuto sits down looking disappointed

"I-I've already told you why, so let's just leave it at that…"

"You don't need to though… I'd lo-"

"Ikuto!" I cut him off, I don't think he knew what he was saying "Why don't we stay here and let Amu go? If you do go with her Utau will be-" and before I knew it, both of them had disappeared! "WELL THANKS!" I shout to no-one

"Who are you shouting at?" I turn around to see Utau in our uniform

"Never mind… Anyway, why are you wearing our uniform?"

"Oh, my manager thought, since my next role after my tour is a high school student and I'm home-schooled, that I should go check out what it's like. Also, my tour's ending soon and that job is is around here! So I'll get to make real friends and stay here for a while!" her face lit up after saying that one sentence! She's so darn cute that I found myself staring at her radiance! "What's wrong? You seem to be distracted."

"O-Oh! Sorry! That's amazing!" I'm so happy! I get to spend more time with her! Wait, what?

"I know, right!? I can't wait to spend more time with yo- I mean, everyone!" was she about to say 'you'? Nah! Like she'd say that!


(With Amu and Ikuto)

Ikuto's P.O.V:

Why does she do this? She doesn't need to go to track club, or go jogging, or go on some crazy diet! That's just stupid! She's beautiful the way she is, why can't she see that? And why can't I say that to her face? I'm just not sure if I should like her now that she has a boyfriend... Anyway, if she keeps this up, she's gonna be weak, not fit! "Amu, why do you do this?"

"Do what, you mean track club? Because I like it of course!"

"What about the diet and jogging?"

"What about it?"

"Do you really want to do it? All of it, or is it something else?" there's a silence and she stops walking

"You know why Ikuto… Do I need to tell you again?" she looked kind of angry, but at the same time sadness struck her face. I quickly hugged her and I felt a tear on my shoulder, she was obviously trying to hold it in…

"Amu, you can trust me... With anything." I reassure her, she bursts out crying

"I'm scared, ok?! I don't want to be hurt ever again!" I assume she must have remembered something from the past as at that point she was screaming and tugging at my shirt! "LET GO! LET GO! LET GO! LET GO!" I just pull her in tighter, hoping she'll calm down. I've never seen this side of her before and after all that, she collapsed in my arms. So picked her up and walked back home.


Usui's (quick) P.O.V:

I wonder where Amu is today. Not to mention Ikuto is off with her! I've just also heard that she's staying at his house! Could this day get any worse? Why does everything revolve around Ikuto now? Where she lives, where she sits in class, who she talks to and he's one of the few people she's comfortable with! This 'Ikuto' guy is a BIG threat! I shouldn't let my guard down! There's a new girl in the class though, someone called Utau who is also Tsukiyomi's sister! Kukai made a big announcement to everyone about who she was. They were both blushing the whole way though, which made me laugh, which made everyone laugh! It's so obvious they like each other!


Amu's P.O.V:

My head's spinning. I feel awful! Um, wait, aren't I supposed to be at school right now? Shit! What happened? It's already 11:21am! I quickly get up realizing what happened and run out of the room. While I'm running, I bump into someone. "Ikuto? What're you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm taking care of you. Anyway, where are you off to, and in your PJ's, as well…" I look down to see I'm in my PJ's, wait, I was in my uniform when I fainted, so that must mean… HE UNDRESSED ME?! "And before you start making assumptions, no I did not undress you, Utau did before she left." I heaved a sigh of relief.

"Where did Utau go?"

(Yada, yada, yada…)

"That's awesome! Good for her!"

"Kukai seemed very happy about it…" a smirk appeared on his face and I was thinking the exact same thing! This'll be interesting.

"Really now… Then you know what we need to do…" we were both smirking at each other when he interrupted

"Anyway, you need to get back into bed!"

"But I feel fine!" I stretch making groaning noises

"Do you want to be carried like a princess again to your room, or what?"

"A-A-AGAIN?!"

"That's right; I carried you all the way through the town and upstairs."

"WHAT?!" Well, I guess point 1 goes to Ikuto. "Usui didn't see, did he?" I asked worried, he just stared at the floor with an unreadable expression, then he slowly walked up to me, shoving me down to the floor. "Ikuto? What are you doing?" I'm worried, why can't I just kick him or something? I'm I too weak? No, it's not that. Then what is it? It can't be that I-

"Amu… Don't talk about him with me, never…" he starts leaning in closer and closer to my face, then stops himself inches away from my lips. When he sees what he's doing he just sits me up and holds me as if I were something precious. "I'm sorry Amu, I don't know what came over me… I just-"

"Don't worry Ikuto, your words are so sincere that I can believe you…" he never sounds sincere, I guess this is a side of him I didn't see. A more mature side, it's strangely comforting, I like this side of him. I wonder what else he's hiding. I guess I'll just have to find out…


I hope you liked this chapter! And what do you think about the relationship between Kukai and Utau? I personally can't wait to see what will happen to them! Ikuto and Amu seem to be closer, which is making Usui jealous! Yet, it seems them two are still hiding sides of themselves from eachother! Oh, well! Leave a review telling me what you think and what you like to see happen! I want to make my first FanFiction enjoyable for you so please do! See you next time!
