Hey girls! (I say this because I am now making a protest, in which I think that since 'hey guys' can mean both sexes, and 'hey girls' can't. I'm weird, right?)
Anyway, I left on a very big cliff hanger, and I'm sorry that I didn't update right away because I had tons of trouble writing this chapter! (By the way, 'Animefungirl12' that means I literally re-wrote it about 5000 times.) But, I do try to not leave chapters too long, as I feel like if I do, people will lose interest! I also feel as if I need to thank everyone who takes the time out of their day to read my strange FanFiction.
Ikuto: Urrrrrrg! You're so boring, rambling on like that! Just get on with it!
Me: Jeez, fine! I get it! Amu, the disclaimer please.
Amu: Roger! Darkerthannightskys does not own 'Shugo Chara!' or any of the characters, just the story that she is writing.

Amu's P.O.V:
"Well? Why did you break up with Usui?" he asked once again, I unfroze then knew what I should say next.
"Why do you care? Oh, and another thing, what were you doing with that bitch at the mall?"
"I asked first."
"My question's more important. So…"
"Well, I don't believe that, at hand."
"Pft"
"But, fine." He stops and scratches the back of his head while looking away "'That bitch', Lulu, is from my old school. She happened to be visiting for the weekend and so, since she's a girl I thought I'd ask her for some advice on what present I should get…" he turns back to me still scratching his head and with a slight blush, sighs, turns back and continues "You for your birthday." (A/N Awwwww, Ikuto! Such a cute kitty!)
"M-My birthday?!" I completely forgot about that! But, it's next month, why would he think of that a month in advance? I mean, why would he do something like that – espesually for me? "I-I don't understand." Right now, I must be blushing so hard.
"I just- Answer my question already! Why did you break up with Usui?"
Here we go Amu, you can do this. Just keep it together. Keep. . "Well, you see… I-Ikuto! I-I-I realised s-something! I – Well, Usui and I was something that I used t-to cover up how much I-I-I-I l"
"Love you." What? "I love you. I've pretty much loved you since the first day I saw you. It was like I was drawn to you, you weren't like all the other girls I had teased. You were and still are so strong willed. As soon as you came into my life I found myself not wanting to do anything to anyone else… Apart from you. And then, when you started going out with Takumi, I swear I could've died! You looked very happy about being back together with him so I tried not to interfere, but it just didn't work, as you could see and I pretty much messed up everything between us! So, just then when I heard you say that you broke up with him I thought that maybe there was still some hope! So, please, say it again. Say that you love me."
"Ikuto," I whisper grabbing his hands and looking up at him, he looks back at me with a cute and hopeful gleam in his eyes… "I love you. So, so much."
When he was just about to kiss me, he stopped in his tracks and looked at me with fake concern, "This time, when I kiss you, you won't ignore and shut me out again, will you?"
"Oh, just shut up and kiss me."
Straight after I said this, he kissed me much like he did last time, but with way more passion and aggressiveness. God, I sound like a prev, but right now? I don't give a fuck! What's that saying? 'Live in the moment'? That is exactly what I'm doing. He pulls away slowly after a minute of us going at it.
"Amu Hinamori, go out with me."
"That sounded like more of a statement."
"It was, there's no choice in the matter. The only answer is yes."
"Yes, I will!"
Suddenly, we hear claps coming from the door and we both whip our heads around to see mum, dad and Kukai standing there clapping (with Utau in the corner, secretly smiling to herself). I suddenly feel really flushed and seeing Ikuto smirking away didn't make it any better, either!
"I see you two are really hitting it off!" dad walks in and high-fives Ikuto
"Amu, honey, I've prepared a little present for you. I thought of it because I knew that you two would be together someday and-" I open it and gasp "you are nearly of that age…"
No, it wasn't and IPod, a new CD, or anything else practical to my life (A/N Well, not right now, but soon maybe? Hehe~). I-It… was "C-CONDOMS?!" After I shouted this – with my very much blushing face - Kukai ran in and took mum and dad to have a nice and serious chat about why I'm not ready for that kind of stuff. "Pft! He's way too over protective!" I just laughed it off hoping Ikuto wouldn't notice my distain. Clearly, Ikuto isn't that kind of person. He knows me too well…
"Oh, so you are ready to do this kind of stuff? Amu-koi~"
"N-No! I just meant-"
"I know. Let's take this slow. There's no need to rush into such things. We'll know when the right time comes," I felt my blushes turn the deepest shade of red, when he finished off with: "A. mu. –koi~"
Then it came to me; I should just turn the tables! "That's right" I. ku. to. –koi~" then, guess what happened? The slightest tinge of pink came up on his cheeks, just enough for me to see! Kyaaaaa! So cute! Wait- did I just think Ikuto was cute? Well, he is my boyfriend now- Wait. That sounds weird. But that is what we are now, boyfriend and girlfriend. It's still so strange!
Ikuto's P.O.V (Wow, it's been a while!):
I never thought one of my own teases would backfire on me- until I met Amu. Meeting Amu has completely changed who I am in so many ways! But then, I noticed Amu's weird, changing facial expressions! It went from realisation, to contemplating, to discouraged, to decided and when full circle back to just plain disappointment. Why the heck was she disappointed?! "Hey, Amu. What's wrong? I thought you looked just so triumphant and now you're all gloomy. What's up?"
"Ummmmmmm… Well, I was just thinking about… Stuff. When I realised how weird it was to say you were my-my boyfriend…"
"Oh, so you were thinking about me just now?" I smirked my signature smirk – god I missed that smirk!
"That's not the point!"
"What is the point, then, girlfriend of mine?" I think I'll have to get used to it too.
"T-the point is!- Never mind…" She looked so cute! And in a nano-second, I swooped in and hugged her with all my might! I could never resist a blushing Amu! And now, she's all mine. The thought makes me squeeze her tighter! Until, I come back to reality. "Ikuto? Y-you're kinda strangling me!"
"Sorry!" I let go of her, hopefully I can supress this blush! But, apparently, fate had something else in mind.
"Aw, Ikuto! Are you finally the one that's blushing?"
"N-NO! I don't blush!"
"Sure you don't!" she says sarcastically "Ikuto, anyone with 2 cheeks and blood can blush! Whether we like it or not!"

Amu's P.O.V:
I didn't sleep a wink last night! I was too busy thinking about how we were going to tell everyone I was going out with Ikuto! I don't want people to think I move on too quickly! I loved Usui! Just not as much as Ikuto…
You see what I mean? If I start going I won't be able to stop! But eventually – when I was tired of thinking too much – I fell asleep. Mid-thought. And woke up with horrible bed-head! Urrrrrg! I can't win!
I decided to get up and get ready, even though it was 6:34 in the morning. So, I slipped on some blue, ripped skinny jeans (that are too big for me), a woolly, grey crop-top that has roses on the front going around the frame of the T-Shirt and my favourite black converse. I try to brush my hair into submission, but to no avail. So, I tie my long hair up into a messy bun. A very messy bun and proceed out the door and down to the kitchen.
I slump over to the fridge to see what I can have. I see some strawberries and take them out then slump – again – over to the breakfast bar. I, obviously, don't acknowledge anyone coming into the room. Because, as I take a bite out of my 3rd strawberry, someone blows in my ear, "Boo!"
"Ahhhhh!" I shout, I turn around and see a blue-haired boy smirking "Ikuto!"
"Good Mornin'" he leans down and kisses my cheek and I jump back in surprise!
"W-W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Kissing my girlfriend." I blush a dark red and take the time, now that he's standing up straight, to take in his appearance. OMG. He's wearing nearly everything the same as me, it's just a different top. But, it's still grey! "Well look at that! We're even dressing the same! I think we're psychic…"
"No! You're just a prev!"
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
"You must've seen me getting ready! You pervy cat!" PERVRY CAT?! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!
"Hummm. So, I'm a pervy cat now, am I?"
"Y-yes!" What? No!
He smirks, then starts to move in closer. Crap. "What?" I ask, dumb-founded. But he keeps going. Moving forward. Then, when my back is against the wall, his head slowly moves down. What is he doing? "Ikuto?" He's now 1cm away from my face and I close my eyes shut tight! Where is he taking this? Then he kisses m-MY NOSE?!
"Are you disappointed, Amu?"
"No!" Yes, you are. Shut up, conscious!
"Our family is waking up. If you're lucky, I'll continue this later…"
"Our family?" If I'm lucky?
"One day…" My eyes widen as I come into realisation. "You're so easy to tease!" I sigh, relaxing a little bit then as he sits down at the breakfast bar and eats a strawberry he mumbles something that I can't hear.
"What?" I ask
"Nothing. Don't worry."
"Ok…" Weirdo.

It's been a month since me and Ikuto started going out and today is my birthday. I haven't seen Ikuto all day. I asked where he was this morning, but mum said he went to school early and before I could say anything, she turned and counted to three and everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to me. I got a couple of presents. One being an IPhone 6 and the other being a Blue Mini! I say that I can't accept them. But everyone insists and that morning I drive myself, Kukai and Utau to school. I still can't believe Utau and Kukai still aren't going out! It's so obvious they like each other!
When I get to school, I get a few more gifts that are a lot less extravagant, which I am thankful for. But, still no sign of Ikuto. And he doesn't have any of my classes today. Where is he?
At the end of the day, everyone rushes off with no explanation, saying that they had things to do. Bummer. Then, finally, Ikuto shows up!
"Ikuto! Where were you? And, what's with the outfit?" he's wearing the same thing as the morning we were officially going out. Except, with a black tux.
"No time for that, just come on!" He grabs my hand and leads me through the weirdly empty halls. When we get out side he tells me to close my eyes, then leads me more carefully though a path I don't know.
"Where are we going?" I ask, very curios
"Who are you? Curios George? You'll find out soon enough!"
"Fine…"
A minute later, he stops and I hear doors creaking open. "Open your eyes" he whispers in my ear. I open them and stare into nothingness "Happy Birthday." He whispers again and suddenly, the lights turn on and all around me, are balloons, flowers, snacks, a DJ and my friends and family! Oh my god!
"W-W-W-"
"HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY!" Everyone shouts and I still can't believe it!
"Wha- How?!"
"I'm just that awesome." Ikuto says
"Thank you so much!" I jump into his arms and he holds me close
"You're welcome. Now go and enjoy!" The DJ starts playing music and everyone starts dancing, chatting and eating. I try and get around to everyone to thank them for coming, but there's way too many people and I get confused, so I give up.
I've been having so much fun chatting and dancing that I didn't even notice that Ikuto was missing.
"Hey, Utau, have you seen Ikuto?"
"Yeah, I was just speaking to him. He said he was going to go and get some more snacks because we were running out. He's in the back room."
"Thanks!" I run off with a skip in my step. I'm so happy right now! This is the best birthday ever and it's all thanks to Ikuto!
As I come near to the storage room, I hear him talking with someone. A girl. Saaya…. What does she want with him? Then, suddenly, the talking halts and there's silence. I turn at the door I call out his name "Iku-" I stop in my tracks when I see him kissing Saaya.
And in that second, my whole world crumbles.
*/~/*
Amu just doesn't get a break, does she?! But what's a drama without… Drama? But, seriously! What's wrong with Ikuto? First Lulu and now Saaya?
Amu: Yeah, what the hell are you up to Ikuto?
Ikuto: I don't know! Ask the curator over there! She's the one who writes this shit!
Me: Shit? Thanks for the self-esteem booster, Ikuto!
Ikuto: Well, it's true! I would never do that to Amu!
Me: Oh! So that's what this is about?
Amu: Shut up! The both of you!
Ikuto: Awww… But Amu-koi~
Amu: Don't call me that!
Me: I hope you liked this chapter! Tell me what you think was happening with Ikuto and Saaya in the comments! If you have any questions about the chapter or any of my new fanfics I'm writing, feel free to ask! Until next time! Bye!
