A Blinded Heart

Chapter 1: It's Not Just A Bad Dream, It's Reality

Note: This is set about three days after the last chapter of Sibling Rivalry, Amu passed out, remember? Heh, well they are now in Ikuto's apartment. Also, when it is in italics, they are dreaming.

(Amu's POV)

"What's it to me...? It's what makes you all mine... I'm claiming what's mine and no one else's. Don't worry Amu, we aren't really related, like I said before, so it's fine. Damn it... why do you have to be so cute all the time? What? I do work for Easter after all... and you don't seem to want me around. Why does this bother you Amu? You talk way too much when you're excited. I'm interested in you Amu." All of the flashes again, that guy, Ikuto, teasing me, making me turn red, making me cry like a child, making me feel something I couldn't understand… lust? Love? That guy making me laugh, kissing me roughly, being strange and perverted, and then… My eyes burst open.

My breathing came out in a rush, and my eyes fled across the room I was in, it made no sense. The room I was in seemed familiar, but I didn't know it. It was a stranger to me. I sat up quickly, throwing off the few blankets on me. I instantly shivered, and I could feel the sweat drip from my brow. I pulled the blankets towards me with shaky hands, and I felt my lids become heavy, and I blinked slowly. "Where… am I?" I whispered quietly, my voice hoarse and thick. "My place." I turned my head to see him, Tsukiyomi Ikuto again.

He walked towards me in a calm way, and when he reached me he pushed me back onto the bed. "You have a fever Amu, you've been asleep for three whole days." He said in a cold tone, and he sat down in a small chair that was beside the bed. I shivered then, and pulled the blankets to my nose. "Why did you bring me here?" I whispered quietly, and Ikuto's face softened, and it turned loving, making me feel confusion. "Because, I wanted to watch over my little strawberry." He whispered the end of it, making me strain to hear him, but I did, and I gasped quietly. The words repeated themselves in my mind, making me wince and look away, towards the wall by the bed.

"Well, I won't let you go." He whispered darkly, making me turn back to him with my eyes wide. "What?" I whispered back to him, and he looked away then, glaring at the wall. "Nothing. Do you want some food Amu?" He looked back at me then, his eyes light yet guarded. I shook my head no, but his eyes narrowed. "Too bad. Suu!" He turned and sure enough, my small green chara came floating in, carrying a steaming bowl of soup. She was smiling, being as carefree as always. "Amu-chan desu! If you eat this yummy soup you'll be better in no time desu!" She cried out happily, and I just grimaced.

She placed the soup in my hands, and then floated away happily. I sighed, sometimes Suu could be too relaxed. I looked down at the soup, not really feeling like eating it, the bowl was very warm against my fingers. "Amu, eat." Ikuto said in a very demanding voice, but I just sighed and reluctantly picked up the spoon, and slowly began to sip at the soup. "why do you look so dejected?" Ikuto said, and I glanced at him, he was smirking happily. I dropped the spoon in the bowl, and set the bowl on the small table next to the bed.

I slowly let my hand come forward, and I placed my fingers against his lips. It was gentle, but an electric tingle found it's way through my body, and I his eyes widened. "Amu…" He said in a somewhat distracted tone, but I kept my fingers on his face, slowly trailing along it, his jaw, his cheeks, practically everything.

(Ikuto's POV)

I shuddered, how could Amu touch me so tenderly when she doesn't even remember me? But, I couldn't help myself, I gripped her body to mine, resting my chin on her head. Her body tightened slightly, but I didn't stop. I gripped her chin in my hand and slowly leaned down to her, and just as our lips almost touched, she pulled away. "I-Ikuto! Why are you trying to kiss me suddenly?!" She whispered, and she fell back onto the bed, and she began to cough. I internally swore and leaned forward, placing one hand on her forehead.

"You still have a fever. Go back to sleep Amu, you can leave tomorrow if you're better." I said as I stood swiftly and took the bowl, walking out of the room. I walked into my small, barely used kitchen and placed the bowl in the sink, and turned away, pinching the bridge of my nose between my fingers. "I was so close, damn…" I murmured frustrated. "Is Amu any better nya?" I heard Yoru whisper, and I looked over at him. "She be okay, this is just harder than I thought." I muttered, and Yoru sighed sadly. I reached out and rubbed his head gently. "Don't lose hope on me now." I said, smirking, and he smirked as well.

Amu… we'll get you back… ven if I have to start from square one again.
