~~~~~~Amu's POV~~~~~~

"Ikuto!!!!" I yelled. He stopped and turned when he heard my voice. His face looked frightened, like he wanted to run away but his body wouldn't move. 'Oh, Ikuto, I'm so sorry for doing this to you.' I thought as I ran towards him.

Finally reaching him, I flung my arms around him in a tight hug.

"Ikuto, I have to tell you something!" My eyes sparkled as they looked into his mesmorizing blue ones. Some of the fear had left them, but it had only been replaced with a worried curiosity. I took a deep breath. After all, I wasn't sure if his reaction was going to be the one I wanted. "Ikuto, I-"

I was cut off by a harsh tug on my arm and a pair of lips crashing against mine. But they didn't belong to Ikuto.

Once they'd stopped kissing me, I glared angrily at who it was. Just as I'd expected, it was Tadase-kun. He wrapped his arms around me, stopping me from getting away.

"Tadase-kun, let-" Again I was cut off by a hand covering my mouth.

"She wanted to tell you that she's my girlfriend now, you thieving cat! So leave her alone and don't you dare ever talk to her again!!!" He said and turned my head to forcfully kiss me again.

".........Alright......." Ikuto whispered, and slowly walked away.

I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I wanted to escape Tadase's grasp, but I couldn't. I wanted to fight back, but that last word had drained everything from me, and I couldn't.

"Never go near that cat again." Tadase whispered darkly into my ear before letting go of me and walking towards the rest of the stunned guardian's. "Don't worry about her, she'll be fine. Let's go." They all walked away, and my legs collapsed.

I layed there on the ground letting myself cry. 'What had happened?' I thought. 'Why? Why had Tadase done that?' I thought back to his normal angel like expression and then his bitter kiss and his harsh voice in my ear. It just didn't fit. 'And now because of him...I'll never be able to tell Ikuto that I'm sorry and how much I love him.' I continued to let myself cry on the abandoned street for a few more minutes and then picked myself up and walked vacantly back home.

~~~~~~~Tadase's POV~~~~~~~~

Even I had surprised myself by how harsh I'd acted, but I didn't regret it. Now that I finally had her, I wasn't about to let Ikuto steal my Amu. I'd seen her walking up to Ikuto that day in the park and decided to do some spying. I followed her as she arrived at his apartment and hid around the corner listening.

I was about to leave after she had walked away until I heard Ikuto whisper something. I inched closer to the door and heard him say, 'I love you, Amu.' Inside, I burned with rage.

'How dare he think that way about my Amu?!' But since she was sure to be angry at him and she had me, I hadn't been too worried. I decided to let it go for then and left.

But then today, she'd looked upset so I decided, just to be safe, I'd tell her not to get involved with that cat. When she started defending him, I knew it definitly wasn't looking good.

Then I saw something click in her eyes and then he showed up, making the situation even worse.

I was surprised when she suddenly hugged him in front of me. All of a sudden, I knew what that click had meant and I rushed in to prevent her from choosing him over me. It was completely out of my character but I wasn't going to lose her like that. I'd succeeded and now she was mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~One week later. Amu's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another guardian's meeting, but I'd rather be anywhere but here right now. In the week that had passed by, I'd stayed out late every night searching for Ikuto. I'd never been able to find him and I was starting to lose hope, not only in the search, but in everything. My parents had scolded me for being out so late every night, but even when they prevented me from searching, there was no way I could fall asleep and I just stayed up all night looking out at the balcony praying that he would come...He never did.

While I was stuck at school or at home, I wandered around with empty eyes, not really paying attention to anything around me. The only thing that mattered now was that I loved Ikuto and I was never going to see him again. I hadn't talked to Tadase, or any of the other guardian's since then and I barely talked to my parents or Ami.

Suddenly, I remembered who was to blame for all this and for the first time in a while, I spoke.

"Tadase-kun..."

"Hn? Hinamori-san? Did you say something?"

"Tadase-kun........TADASE-KUN!!!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!! IF YOU HADN'T BEEN SO SELFISH!!!!! If....if....." My voice quieted to a whisper as I felt the knot in my throat tightening. "I'm sorry, Tadase-kun, I can't date you anymore. I.....I LOVE IKUTO!!!!" I shouted and ran out of the Royal Garden, tears streaming down my cheeks. I didn't pay attention to where I was running, I just ran.

I lifted up my arm to my eyes to try and wipe away the tears. Somehow this felt somewhat familiar, but I ignored the feeling and kept running. 'If I had a hole to crawl into...' I thought. Right as I finished thinking that, I felt the ground disappear beneath me and I fell into a deep hole.

"IT WAS A FIGURE OF SPEECH!!!!" I yelled. But something was wrong. Hitting the ground didn't hurt as much as it was supposed to. What the? What kind of ground is this?

"If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if I could breathe, Amu."

Oh great, now the ground's talking to me! I must have hit my head or something.

"Did you hear me, Amu, I said get off!"

Heh, that's funny. The ground sort of sounds like-.......oh. Oh! "Ikuto! W-what are you doing here?"

"Um, more like, why did you randomly fall on top of me yelling really loudly in my ear? And, plus, I thought you didn't want to see me anymore."

"Um, well I was just, um..."

"And your eyes are all red. Where you crying or something?" His face turned from saddness to concern. Well at least that's a start. Oh yeah! I almost forgot!

I wrapped my arms around him in a big hug and I wasn't about to let go. "Ikuto, I'm so sorry!" I whispered in his ear.

"...Hey...Amu...what're you..."

I kept whispering that I was sorry. I was so relieved to have finally found him that my tears started all over again. His arms hesitently wrapped around me, trying to comfort me.

"Ikuto, I have to tell you something." I said once I'd calmed down a little.

"What? You're dating Tadase and some other guy now?" He asked jokingly.

I pulled away to look at him. "NO! The last time, with Tadase-kun...that wasn't what I'd wanted to say! I'm not dating Tadase-kun anymore. I broke up with him because........because I wanted to say that I love you!!"

His eyes widened and he just layed there stunned. "A-Amu......you......you really love me?" he whispered.

I nodded. "I mean, that is, if you're ok with it. Not that I'm asking you to be. I mean, I know I don't really deserve it after what I did to you! I made you so upset. I-"

I was cut off again by a pair of lips. But this time it was much better because they were the lips of the one I love. I kissed him back and he made it deeper, more passionate. So this is what it felt like to be kissed...properly kissed I should say. It felt good.

We eventually hesitantly broke the kiss. "I love you too, Amu," he said. Hearing those words made face explode into the biggest, happiest smile I've ever had. "And, Amu?"

"Yeah?"

"You really are suffocating me..."

"Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" I leaped off of him only to be pulled back.

"I didn't say stop!" he said smirking.

I blushed. "B-baka~!"
