I DON'T OWN SHUGO CHARA!_ _

Pain & Hurt

"Amu-chan, you've got to get home soon, your parents are going to worry," Ran said.

Amu sighed and started to quicken her pace, but she quickened her pace too fast and tripped over someone slumped by a tree.

"Ow..." groaned the person she tripped over. Amu's eyes focused and then realised it was -

"IKUTO?" Amu screeched. "Wait, Ikuto are you OK?"

Blood dripped down the side of Ikuto's face and there was a wide gash above his knee. Amu knew she hadn't done that.

"What happened?" Amu said, voice full of worry.

Ikuto, incapable of speech just groaned.

"YORU?" Amu screeched grabbing a small figure floating above Ikuto's shoulder. "What happened?"

"Get of me - nya!" Yoru struggled. "It was that bastard from Easter."

"He did this?"

Yoru nodded, face full of anger.

"Why?"

"He was drunk and wanted someone to take his anger out on - nya."

"Ran, chara nari."

"Why?" Ran said.

"We need to get Ikuto to my room."

"OK."

"My Heart: Unlock.

Chara Nari: Amulet Heart!"

Amu picked Ikuto up in her arms. He was still heavy ,but much lighter than he would have been if Amu had just chara changed. Amu flew in the night sky to her bedroom. Amu couldn't help thinking it should be the other way round; Amu in Ikuto's arms.

Once they got there, Amu lay Ikuto on the floor, putting a pillow under his head. She would have put Ikuto on her bed, but she didn't want to get blood on it. Amu then ran into the bathroom to get a cloth and water and gently dabbed at the cut on his face and then moved on to the gash above his knee.

Ok, Amu told herself. First thing's first, clean the gash out.

She rinsed the cloth out and dabbed gently on the cut so the blood around went away so she could properly see how bad the cut actually was. It wasn't too bad, just really wide. Amu cleaned it up more and then wrapped it up in a bandage.

She shook him slightly to wake him, but he only groaned. He should probably rest, Amu thought to herself. She covered him with a blanket. Amu gazed at him for a while. She pressed her lips against his temple.

"Get well soon Ikuto."
