Aiden: Grrr! I'm still sick! Ugh! I HATE BEING SICK! IT SUCKS!

Amu: what happened to being happy about having time to update?

Aiden: SCREW THAT! IF I HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL ONE MORE TIME I'M GOING TO LOOSE IT!

Ikuto: calm down your scarring the readers!

Aiden: *calms down* sorry I just don't like hospitals, and my mom says if I'm still sick tomorrow I'll have to go. Well, at least the hospital I go to has an internet connection, so I can update while I'm there; if I go. I'll probably just pretend I'm okay and go to school tomorrow.

Amu: what if you throw up at school?

Ikuto: yeah I don't think your teachers will accept the work if you puke all over it.

Aiden: *sigh* I don't know. Well, let's not dwell on it, so we can get on with the story! In this chapter I'm going to talk about all the couples, not just Amuto. We need more Kutau and Rimahiko in this! I don't own Shugo Chara!

Utau's point of view

I woke up with a giddy feeling all over. Ikuto's finally got a girlfriend! Hopefully he'll stop being such a playboy at school now. I sat up and leaned against the headboard. Kukai stirred a little next to me. I smirked and got an idea. I lie back down under the covers and put my arms around him. I snuggled up close to him and put my head on his chest.

"Kukai" I said sweetly. He opened his eyes and blinked a few times, before flashing a grin. I couldn't help but smile back. He wrapped his arms around me and held me really tight.

"What is it Utau?" he asked after kissing my forehead. I smirked again; I guess it runs in the family.

"I was just thinking. If Amu and Ikuto are together now then can we go on a double date with them?" I said looking him in the eyes. He shot me a questioning look then laughed a little. "What are you laughing about?" I asked.

"Sorry, it's just that I don't think Amu and Ikuto would like that." He said chuckling a little.

"What do you mean?" I asked sitting up. I swung my legs over and stood up.

"Amu and Ikuto aren't like us sweetie, we've been together forever; Ikuto only confessed to Amu last night, you should give them some time alone together." He said, while I stretched. I turned to see him standing up and walking towards me. "And plus, I don't really view Amu and Ikuto as a 'double date' kind of couple; if you know what I mean." He said wrapping his arms around me. I sighed. I did know what he meant. Amu and Ikuto on a double date? That would be a sight to see. I put my head on Kukai's chest. "c'mon let's see if anyone else is up yet." He said taking my hand and walking out the door.

Rima's point of view

I opened my eyes to see Nagi still asleep. I looked over to the clock, which had the numbers 7:49 blinking in red. I closed my eyes and let myself drift back to sleep. I felt someone shaking me. I turned over and buried my head in the pillow.

"C'mon Riri-koi! Time to get up! It's already 11:17!" Nagi called to attempt at waking me up. I groaned and turned over. He was sitting on the bed next to me. I propped myself up on my elbow.

"Nagi, it's Saturday, let me sleep." I said angrily and flipped onto my back. I closed my eyes. I felt Nagi shift on the bed next to me. I opened my eyes and saw him o top of me, with his hands and knees at either side of my body while he was smirking.

"Get up" he said coldly. I glared at him and closed my eyes. Then he started to tickle me. I opened my eyes and laughed so hard I thought o would fall of the bed. He was grinning and laughing along with me.

"st-stop!" I said trying to push his hands away.

"Not until you get up." he said continuing to tickle me.

"O-okay! I'm up! I'm up!" I said sitting up. He stopped and smirked. "Geez, you didn't have to tickle me." I said catching my breath. He smiled sat on the bed in front of me. I stuck my tongue at him.

"Careful you don't know who's mouth that might end up in." he teased.

"Jerk!" I said stretching. He poked me in the sides causing me to squeal and fall back on the bed with him on top of me again. He smirked and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. Once I broke of the kiss he lifted his head.

"I love you." He said brushing my hair behind my ears. I kissed him quickly.

"Love you too" I said. He smirked and kissed me quickly. "Now get off of me so I can take a shower." I said pushing on his chest. He pouted at me causing me to giggle. I pushed on his chest again. He sighed and sat up. I stood up and finished stretching. I walked in the bathroom and took a shower.

Amu's point of view

I opened my eyes expecting to see Mika or Rene in my face trying to wake me up, but when I opened my eyes that's not what I saw. My head was lying on someone's bare stomach, but the person obviously wasn't naked due to the fact of a pair of black jeans. I felt an arm around my waist and my own arm around this person's waist. I looked up and saw a tuft of blue hair, Ikuto. I smirked as the memory of last night's events played through my mind. I finally told him. I closed my eyes and tried to fall back asleep, that is until my phone rang. Thank god I put it on vibrate. I moved Ikuto's arm off of me, and slowly moved to where I could sit up, while trying not to wake him up. I reached over to grab my phone, when I got a glance at the clock. 5:19 flashed in red on the little black box I groaned. Only one person would call me this early. I flipped open my phone.

"What!" I whispered harshly.

"Good morning to you too sunshine." Lucas answered sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

"What do you want?" I whispered in an aggravated tone.

"I just finished filing the report for Maxus and I talked to my father, he says you can come back in." he said above the sound of rustling papers.

"That's great. Now tell me why this couldn't wait till later." I snapped in a hushed voice.

"Was I interrupting something?" he teased.

"As a matter of fact…" I trailed off looking over to Ikuto.

"Geez Amu it's way too early for you to be starting, unless you stayed up all night…" he trailed off. I groaned.

"God Lucas it's not like that! I was sleeping idiot!" I snapped at him. I heard him chuckle on the other line.

"Sorry it's just, you're not a kid anymore so you got to get used to me asking you those questions." He said. I sighed.

"Why did you call?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

"Oh yeah that. I have a mission for you." He said in a serious tone.

"Oi! C'mon Lucas it's the weekend. And I took down Blake yesterday. What could be this important, that you had to call me at unmentionable hours in the morning?" I whined. I heard him sigh.

"It's a new threat and it's dangerous. I'm going to need my best out on the hunt." He explained. I sighed and laid my head back on the head board.

"Fine as long as I'm not going to have to work with Yumi." I sighed out. The other line was silent for about a minute.

"LUCAS!" I exclaimed. Ikuto groaned and turned over to face me. I sighed in relief when I saw he was still asleep.

"Sorry Pyro, but you and Yumi are my very best. Please I really need your help on this!" he countered. I sighed heavily.

"Fine. I'll be there as soon as I can." I agreed.

"Thank you." He said with relief.

"Yeah whatever, bye." I hung up without waiting for an answer. I leaned back again and tapped my phone against my forehead. I sat there a minute before sighing and deciding to get up. I walked over to my bag and pulled out my note book. I wrote a small note to Ikuto and set it on his night stand. I put my weapons in their places on my body, and then I walked over to Ikuto and sighed. "bye." I whispered. I kissed his quickly on the lips before going to the balcony and jumping down to the garden. I walked towards the street, but there were no cars out since it wasn't even six yet. I heard a squeak in the tree next to my left and saw Rene and Mika jump down on to my shoulders. "There you guys are" I said ruffling Mika's fur. I walked for about an hour before I finally reached HQ. I went into Lucas's office, and sitting there was none other than the pompous bastard himself, Yumi. I sighed and sat in the chair next to the window.

"Psht, why do I need her? I can handle this myself." Yumi said as Lucas walked in. Lucas sighed and sat behind his desk.

"Because Amu has a level head, something you're going to need when going into battle with these guys." Lucas said handing us each a packet of paper.

"Wait, Jared Trion?" I asked reading the name of the target. Lucas nodded. Yup this was him, I thought thumbing through the packet. I smirked, Yay! I get to kill him!

"What are you so happy about?" Yumi asked with an annoyed voice.

"I finally get to kill that self righteous bastard." I said tossing the packet to the side. I walked out the door.

"Pyro!" Lucas called. No need for anyone to help me, because I already knew his weakness. After all he was my ex-boyfriend. I went down the driveway of a mansion I thought I would never go to again. I walked around the gate on a path I knew all too well, and I was betting he hadn't fixed it sure enough there was still a hole in the gate. I smirked as I remembered how I would sneak in and out through the hole to avoid his parents finding out about me. I climbed through the hole and found myself under his balcony. I stepped back a little to get a running start, and jumped up onto his balcony and saw him lying there with another woman. I smirked again, this is gonna be fun!

Lucas's point of view

I was pacing back and forth in my office. I took a glance at my clock for about the hundredth time, and slammed my hands on my desk; my right hand leaving a large dent in the metal.

"Grrr! It's already noon she should be back!" I yelled. I was so afraid that Amu got hurt; she was like a sister to me.

"Oi! Calm down Lucas, as much as I hate to admit it Amu is the best fighter we know. If she can't kill Jared no one can." Yumi said trying to calm me down. I took a deep breath and sat down behind my desk. I put my elbows on my desk and buried my face in my palms.

"BAM!" the door slammed open. I looked up to see Amu holding Jared's head in her hand. She threw the thing on my desk, picked up the stack of money next to it, and then she left without a word. All me and Yumi could do was sit there in shock with both our jaws on the floor.

Ikuto's point of view

I woke up to my alarm going off at eleven. I reached over and pushed the off button. I turned my head to see that Amu had left. I sighed and put my hand to my forehead. Where could she have run off to this time? I sat up on the edge of my bed. I noticed a paper on my night stand, so I picked it up and read the inside.

Dear Ikuto,

Lucas called with a mission this morning. Won't take too long I'll be back by one. See you when I get back.

Love, Amu

Ps. Nice abs babe!

I smirked at the last part of the letter. I set the paper down on my night stand and stood up to stretch. I walked into the bathroom and took a shower, when I came out I took a look at my clock. I frowned at the florescent red 11: 57. I walked into my closet and put on a normal pair of jeans and a black button up shirt. I walked out and sat on my bed again. I looked at the dark wood box which had moved from under my bed to on my bookshelves. I sighed and fell on my back; it's so boring without Amu here. After about an hour, I decided to go get something to eat. When I got downstairs Kukai and Utau were being all lovey-dovey on the couch. I had half a mind to throw up, if I would've had anything in my stomach to throw up. I caught their attention by making gagging noises and pretending to double over. Once I received a cold glare from both of them I stood up straight and smirked at them.

"Carry on" I said waving. They both glared at me harder as I busted out laughing while walking into the kitchen. I walked in on Rima and Nagi having a pancake-dough fight. I rolled my eyes at them and got an apple.

"Where's Amu?" Utau asked walking into the kitchen with Kukai.

"Lucas called and told her to go whack some guys." I said taking a bite out of my apple. She nodded and stole one of Nagi's pancakes, though he didn't notice because he was cleaning up his mess, and then a thought came to mind.

"Where are the maids?" I asked walking over to throw away the apple core.

"Mom called and said they're all off today. She said we need to learn how to live without them for a day." Utau explained grabbing another pancake. I nodded and leaned my back against the counter.

"Knock, knock!" I heard Amu's voice call. I turned to see her holding a plastic bag and smirking as she leaned against the door frame.

"Hey Amu!" Rima said while finishing up with cleaning, and Amu smiled at her with a motherly grin.

"What's in the bag?" I asked walking over to her.

"Stuff." She said setting it down on the table.

"What kind of stuff?" Kukai asked which made Amu smirk. She pulled out a box and tossed it to him. "Whoa! This is a signed soccer ball from my dad! Where'd you get it?" Kukai asked opening the box.

"I stopped by your dad's manager's office, told him we were friends, and he gave me that. I know your dad's visit is a little late this year so I got that for you." Amu explained smiling.

"Thank you!" Kukai exclaimed kicking the ball a few times then catching it, and then Amu pulled out two more boxes and tossed them to Utau and Nagi.

"New fans! Awesome! Thanks Amu!" Nagi said pulling out the silver and purple fans. Amu smiled and turned to Utau, who looked to be on the brink of tears.

"Thank you nee-Chan!" Utau exclaimed hugging Amu. I looked at the box in Utau's hand and saw my mom's new album. How did Amu know mom forgot to give her one? Amu finally got a chance to breath and dug out a book and gave it to Rima. Rima smiled as she took the book from Amu.

"Thanks nee-Chan! I love this Manga!" Rima said opening the book. Amu turned to me and smirked.

"Here" She said as she chucked the bag at me. I couldn't help but smile at the little black box. I opened it and started to laugh soon joined by Amu.

"What is it?" Nagi asked. I pulled out the cross chocker and showed everyone.

"Yeah, a few weeks ago Ikuto pissed me off, so I ripped his other one off his neck and slapped him." Amu said rubbing the back of her head.

"What did he do?" Kukai asked, while Amu smirked and playfully glared at me.

"I was teasing her about the fact that she's only fourteen and she has a D size chest." I said putting the chocker around my neck and tying it.

"That's mean" I heard my dad's voice come from the front door.

"Daddy!" Utau squealed as she ran up and hugged him.

"Hey Aruto! Dia!" Kukai called to them, as mom and dad waved to him.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Tskuyomi." Nagi said politely causing mom to smile at him.

"Nice to see you auntie and uncle." Rima said looking up from hr Manga.

"It's nice to see you too Rima" dad said walking into the kitchen.

"A new face?" mom said walking over to Amu. Amu smirked at her causing dad to chuckle a little.

"And what might your name be young one?" my dad asked.

"I'm Amu" Amu said shaking both of my parent's hands.

"Do you have a last name?" my mom asked, not surprisingly, Amu hesitated a bit.

"Um, H-Hinamori" Amu mumbled, and my dad instantly got a worried face.

"Amu Hinamori? The assassin?" mom asked in disbelief. Amu nodded, while looking them dead in the eye. Of course mom and dad knew about assassins, seeing as they were potential targets because of how much money they make. I just hope they don't hate Amu for what her job is. Mom sighed and smiled at Amu.

"Well it's amazing to finally meet the infamous Pyro." Mom said with a warm smile. "Though I never thought that I would meet you because you were my children's friend."

"Well how else were you going to meet me?" Amu asked.

"At the receiving end of a blade." My dad said in all honesty I wouldn't blame them, but this is Amu they're talking about.

"Aruto!" mom exclaimed making dad look at her.

"What? She asked a question would you rather me lie to her?" dad asked followed by mom sighing.

"You'll have to forgive my husband he's a bit rude, but you'll get used to him in no time." Mom said.

"So that's where you get it from eh?" Amu teased. I glared at her causing her to chuckle. Mom giggled a little.

"I can see you and my son are alike." Dad said walking over to me. Amu nodded and was dragged by my mom into the garden for more 'questioning' most likely to get the dish on just what kind of relationship Amu and I have. Rima and Utau went to the garden to make sure mom didn't say anything too embarrassing, while dad chuckled a little.

"She's a fine catch there Ikuto. Where did you manage to find her?" dad asked patting me on the back as I smirked. Dad can always tell when I'm interested in someone.

"It's a long story." I said shaking my head. Dad smirked; yes it runs in the family.

"Well, you better go save her from all of your mother's smothering before that long story comes to an end." He said walking out into the hallway, most likely going to his office. I chuckled and we all walked out to the garden, but I motioned for the guys to hide behind the trees and eavesdrop. I'm a bastard so sue me! I moved a little closer to hear what they were saying, but all I could hear was mom giggling.

"Did he really do that?" mom asked still laughing, Amu laughed a little as well.

"Yeah, but then I teased him about it when the log went down the water fall," Amu said chuckling. Damn, she's telling mom about that stupid trip across the river. I could hear the guys snickering, so I shot them a dirty look and they stopped. I heard Mom stop laughing.

"Okay I have to ask in all honesty. What do you think of my son?" mom asked, followed by Amu scoffing and shaking her head a little.

"Well he's sweet, but he's also a smart alike, and a dumb-ass." I frowned. "I love his personality and his humor though." This, of course, made me smile. "But there is something that's been bothering me."

"What's that?" mom asked.

"Well, this whole time he's been over there behind those trees with Nagi and Kukai spying on us." Amu said turning towards us.

"Damn" I said, and then stood up and walked out with my hands up. "I'm caught." I said walking over to a smirking Amu, while mom gasped.

"How could you tell? He always gets away with spying!" mom exclaimed. Amu smirked again and slanted her stance to her right.

"It's an assassin's secret" Amu said. I put my arms down and folded my arms across my chest.

"How?" I asked, making Amu laugh a little.

"Well, first of all I heard you walking up to us. Second I heard you two snickering." She said pointing to Kukai and Nagi. "And third, if you're going to spy on someone stand down wind so they can't smell your shampoo." Amu said smirking then ruffling my hair. I sighed; this girl is good.

"Wow!" mom exclaimed, when Amu turned to her. "Where did you learn all of that?" mom asked.

"I've had plenty of practice." Amu said making me smirk as I walked up behind her, and then I put my arms around her waist and rested my chin on her right shoulder. Mom smiled.

"You two are so cute together!" mom squealed.

"Now I see where Utau gets it." Amu said so that only I could hear it. I smirked and rested my head against hers. After a few more questions from mom, and a thorough embarrassment from dad, Amu and I finally got some privacy in my room. Amu looked at me and laughed a little.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked sitting on the bed next to her. She shook her head.

"Your parents are insane." She said chuckling. I smirked and laid my back against the bed. Amu turned and laid her head on my chest, while I put my left arm around her waist and pulled her closer. She put her left hand on my chest and propped herself up on her right arm. She leaned forward and kissed me. I kissed her back, while tightening my grip around her waist. We broke the kiss for some air. She smiled and put her forehead on mine.

"I love you." I whispered. Her smiled got bigger, and she kissed me again.

"I love you to Neko-Chan." She said smirking. I groaned and slammed my head against my pillow, and then I laughed a little and put my right hand to my forehead.

"My mom told you about that?" I asked pathetically.

"yeah." She answered laughing.

"Oi! Stop laughing it's embarrassing!" I snapped.

"Well, I think it's cute." She mumbled sadly, while playing with the buttons on my shirt. I sighed and grabbed her hands. She looked at me with puppy dog eyes. I sighed, and sat up.

"Okay, fist off, I was five. Second, it was the first Halloween where I could pick my own costume." I said playfully glaring at her, causing her to smirk. She started laughing, as I groaned and fell back on my pillows again.

"O-oh! C'mon!" she said getting on top of me with her knees on either side of me, her chest pressed against mine, and her forearms on the bed at the sides of my head. "It's not that embarrassing!" she said putting her forehead on my chest and laughing again. I put my hand under her chin and lifted her head.

"Then you tell me something even more embarrassing." I said. She shut up immediately and started blushing. "What?" I asked. She turned her head to the side blushing even deeper.

"It's nothing" she said staring at the wall. I grabbed her arms and flipped over to where I was on top of her with my knees and hands at either side of her. Her blush got so deep it was actually contrasting to her hair.

"Tell me" I growled. She shook her head and looked to the side again. I grabbed her cheek and made her look me in the eyes making her blush even harder. I leaned down to where our lips were barely touching. "Tell me Ichigo" I said. She lifted her head a little and kissed me. I lifted my head and looked at her face. When her blush went down, she took a deep breath.

"On my first assassination the target was at a bar. I was only seven, but I was well grown for a seven year old and managed to get inside. When I was inside I found the target and had to sit near him to get a clean shot and be able to get out without being noticed. He ended up asking me to have a drink with him and I accepted. I got so drunk I ended up on the table singing pyromania by Cascada and belly dancing. After that Lucas had to come and pick me up, since then he's always called me Pyro. Everyone else thought it was a codename, but Miki, Lucas, and I actually know the meaning." She said. Once she finished she was blushing hard enough to actually look like a strawberry. I laughed like the village idiot on crack. She glared at me. "IT'S NOT FUNNY!" she yelled at me hitting my chest. I couldn't help but tease her.

"p-Pyro Pyromania, m-ma, ma, am mania!" I sang.

"SHUT UP!" she said grabbing my collar. All I could do was laugh even harder at her reaction. "I HATE YOU!" she said folding her arms, and then I calmed down a bit.

"Geez Amu, compared to that, Neko-Chan is something to be proud of!" I teased.

"OI! SHUT UP!" she yelled, but I continued to laugh. She growled, and then grabbed my collar and flipped me over.

"DON'T MAKE ME LOSE MY TEMPER WITH YOU!" she growled dangerously in my ear.

"Or what?" I snapped back fully glaring at her. Yes I was pissed, it's okay for her to laugh at me but I couldn't laugh at her? Hell no! She gave that same death glare from a few days ago, and then pulled on my collar and crushed her lips against mine. I couldn't help but kiss her back. I wrapped my arms around her waist tightly and nipped at her bottom lip. She pulled away from the kiss and glared at me, but I glared at her just as hard and kissed her this time. She kissed me back, and I nipped at her lip again. When she was about to pull out of the kiss I flipped her over and slid my tongue in her mouth. She moaned a little and wrapped her arms around my neck, while I placed both my hands on her hips and kissed her even harder. She matched my kiss with her own, and we fought for dominance with our tongues. After about a minute we broke for air.

"Or that." She answered. I smirked and kissed her quickly.

"Then I guess I'll have to make you mad more often." I teased. She playfully glared at me and pushed me off of her. I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes to go to sleep, when Amu put her head on my chest and hugged me. I looked down ready to ask her what was wrong when I saw her asleep. I smiled and ran my hands through her hair.

"Love you Ichigo."

Aiden: there you go guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while but like I said I was in the hospital.

Ikuto: R&R!
