Love You Forever Part 1Normal POV
BAM!!!
That was the first sound heard today in the Royal Garden after the Guardians went to class.
All the Charas, Ran, Miki, Suu, Kiseki, Rhythm, Temari, Kusu-Kusu, and Pepe were there. They were startled when a bunch of men in black suits holding a purple container somehow resembling a fire extinguisher burst in.
"WHERE ARE THE GUARDIANS?!" a man yelled. Kiseki recognized that voice. It was Hoshina Kazuomi, the director of Easter. He looked around, trying to find the Guardians, but they could not be seen. "Oh, well. Let's destroy all of their things. Use that new gas Easter medicine created."
Ran's POV
We were surrounded by a mysterious purple mist. It smelled like grape flavored gum. The feeling was just weird. "What's happening?! I can't see anybody!!!" I heard Miki yell. What was happening? Before I could say a response, the gas went away and I found myself in a foreign country.
"Where am I?" I asked. My voice sounded…not like a Chara. It sounded strangely human! What was happening?!
Ikuto's POV
Every day is the same. It's so boring, since finding my dad is almost impossible. I've searched high and low for him but I couldn't find a trace. There was just no way.
"What will I do? What's happening???"
I heard a worried girl somewhere along the streets of Paris. I raced over to find where her voice came from. She was kneeling at the end on the street, panicking. Good thing this is the middle of the night when nobody's out or she would have gotten hit by a truck by now.
"What's going on?"
I held out my hand to her and she turned around to look at me.
"A…mu?"
She looked strangely like Amu.
"What are you doing here in Paris?! I thought you and the others are still in Japan!!!"
"I…ikuto…"
She started to cry. I didn't know what to do, so I took her to my apartment.
Ran's POV
I was picked up by Ikuto in the middle of the night. He thought I was Amu-chan. Judging by the look on his face, he was confused too. "So…why are you doing here, Amu?"
"……!" I started to explain that I'm Ran but he cut me off.
"I know. You got sick of the Kiddy King, right? No wonder. You miss me?"
He put down the water he was drinking and walked over. "Of course you missed me. Then why don't we…" He pulled me into a kiss.
Ikuto's POV
Boy, Amu must have missed me a lot. She didn't pull away. But…this feels strange. This doesn't feel like Amu. This seemed like her first kiss even though we kissed many times before we broke up.
"Nnh…Ikuto…stop it…"
Figures. Amu isn't used to me kissing her anymore.
I pulled her away.
"I don't get this, but whatever. Stay over. You have nowhere else to go, right? I don't care why you are here, Amu, but just stay here. Take my bed. I'm sleeping in the living room."
With that, I walked out of the kitchen.
Ran's POV
The next day when I woke up, Ikuto was nowhere to be found. He must have gone out I thought. Oh, well. I can't stay in the house all day. Why don't I go out?
I took out one of Ikuto's T-shirts and put it over my skirt.
Walking out of the apartment complex, I looked around. Paris is so busy. Musicians playing on the streets, people eating at cafes, cars racing on the road…I want to find Ikuto. Where is he?
I wandered around the city until nighttime. I couldn't find Ikuto at all.
"Hey, girlie. Are you alone???" I heard a man's voice creep up behind me.
Drunkards!
I'm in trouble. I called out for Ikuto but I knew he wasn't there…
Amu's POV
"That's what I'm asking you guys!!! Where is Ran?!"
I was in the Royal Garden, interrogating human Daichi and Kiseki.
"I think I saw her fly in that direction…" Daichi muttered.
"Don't tell her!" Kiseki shut him up.
I knew what they were talking about. There. THE PLACE WHERE HE IS.
I ran off to the airport, hoping to catch the plane…
Ikuto's POV
Maybe I shouldn't have left her at home. Oh well, she'll be fine. Amu's that kind of person.
Above head, an airplane flew by, making me wonder how Amu got here so quickly without asking me where I live. This is getting suspicious.
I opened the door to my apartment, seeing that Amu isn't here. Wondering where she went, I saw Amu and a drunkard struggling on the street.
Amu!
Ran's POV
The drunkard hugged me from behind. He covered my mouth with a dirt-stained handkerchief. I tried to call out to Ikuto, but when I tried to open my mouth, dirt went it. The drunkard slowly moved his hands up my legs. Suddenly, someone appeared.
"STOP!!!" he yelled. It was a boy. I couldn't see him because the he was standing in the dark.
The boy slowly moved under the moonlight.
Daichi.
Daichi's POV
I punched the drunkard that was about to attack Ran. She fell out of his dirty arms and collapsed onto the ground. I could tell she was crying.
"Ran…Are you all right?"
Ran trembled as I smoothed out her hair.
"W…what are you doing here, Daichi?"
Her lips quivered as she spoke.
"I came to find you."
Her eyes widened in shock.
"I love you, Ran. That's why I came to find you."
I hugged her.
Just then…
Ran's POV
Just then, a blinding light shone. Daichi was no longer there. All that was left was an egg.
It was Daichi's egg.
I picked it up.
It felt as if nothing was in there. I held it up to my chest.
After a few minutes, I was holding nothing.
Daichi is gone. He's gone forever.
I started to cry. I heard footsteps behind me.
"Amu!!!"
It was obviously Ikuto.
He brought me back to his apartment and gave me a cup of warm milk.
"What happened?" he questioned.
I couldn't bring myself to talk.
"…I get it. Why don't you just get some sleep?"
I nodded, still trembling.
Suddenly, the door crashed open.
Amu-chan was standing there. The door was hanging off its hinges. Amu-chan was heck pissed.
"What did you do to her, you perverted cat-eared cosplay boy?" Amu demanded.
"Nothing. And why are there two Amus here?" Ikuto replied.
"That's Ran."
"Pardon?"
"I said: that's RAN, you idiot."
This was trouble.
Ikuto looked really confused. Amu-chan got furious. She stalked into the kitchen and grabbed the sharpest knife she could get. She turned to Ikuto.
"STOP, AMU-CHAN!!! IT'S NOT IKUTO'S FAULT!!! DON'T KILL HIM!!!"
I protected Ikuto from the blade, but Ikuto pushed me aside.
"Don't get in the way."
I shook my head. "NO!!! I WON'T LET HER DO IT! I'LL PROTECT YOU BECAUSE…BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Tears rolled down Amu-chan's cheeks. "I'm sorry, Ran. I have to do it. I don't want him hurting you like he hurt me."
With that, Amu-chan charged.
The blade struck Ikuto in the stomach. He winced when the blade went into his flesh.
I stared in horror as Amu-chan closed her eyes tight.
Blood was splattered all over the once-clean floor. I ran out of the room, reaching for the telephone.
"Emergency! We have someone stabbed here!" I told the hospital people.
A while later, Amu-chan and I were at the hospital, outside the operation room.
I was crying like there was no tomorrow, and Amu-chan tried to cheer me up.
Nothing could cheer me up now.
Ikuto's dying in there!
How can I be happy?
Amu's POV
Ran was crying. I understand why. If I were her, I would be crying my eyes out right now, too. The "Now Operating" sign was turned off when the operation ended. The doctor walked out. "I…is he going to make it?" Ran asked, eyes red from crying.
The doctor took off his mask and gloves.
"Yes, he's going to live. The surgery was a success."
Ran grinned and I faintly smiled.
I knew. He is not going to hurt Ran.
Ran's POV
A few days later, I came into Ikuto's hospital room. He was awake.
"Feeling better?" I asked.
"Yeah."
I plopped myself down on the rolling chair next to the bed.
He sat up and leaned over.
I knew this signal.
We kissed.
I knew that…he is not going to hurt me.
…Because we love each other.
