Author's note: This is my first fanfic and if I did anything wrong or if you have story suggestions, please review. Also, if it's too boring or too anything for you, let me know and I will try to improve. And I think Ikuto was a bit OC in one scene, so, heads up. -Bug, Haleigh, or Haleigh-chan. Just call me any of the three. Enjoy!
It's Utau's first day in America. She's in New York City and she has sights she wants to see. She barely knows English and has a tutor. She's excited about her concert tonight and decides to go see the Statue of Liberty. When she gets to the top, she exclaims , "Wow! It's so amazing!". "Yes, it is.", her manager replies.
Suddenly one little girl recognizes her and yells, "Utau! Can I have your autograph?!" Utau, surprised to hear her name all of a sudden replies, "Um...sure!" Excited, the little girl, who's name is Sarah, runs up to Utau, hugs her, gives her a pen and paper, and waits patiently while Utau tries to remember how to write in English. The autograph read, "To Sarah: Thanks for being my fan! -Utau" Sarah hugs Utau again and says "I can't wait for your concert tonight! Bye!" After that, she runs off. Utau, still stunned, turns her attention back to the view and says, "I think the excitement is about to begin."
After sight seeing all day, they return to their hotel room to settle down. Not long after, Yukari Sanjou, her manager, hears Utau slam the phone down and start crying into a pillow. Worried, she rushes over to see what's wrong. Utau dries her tears and sits up next to Yukari. She closes her eyes, looks down, and replies, "I-Ikuto." while a tear falls to the floor. Yukari looking rather puzzled replies, "Ikuto?" Utau crying very softly replies, "He's been hurt." Overhearing Utau, Iru and Eru come out. Iru asks "What's wrong Utau?", seeming concerned. Eru is just sitting on Utau's lap and looks up at Utau. Utau looking rather sad at Eru replies to Iru, "Ikuto's been hurt Iru, and I'm not even there to see him."
Suddenly, Utau gets angry while crying and yells, "I'm not even there to see him!", and throws a pillow at the wall and starts crying hard. Then she falls into Yukari's lap and cries. Iru and Eru try to comfort her but it's no use. Eventually, she cries herself to sleep. After seeing she does, Yukari gets up gently and lays Utau's head on a pillow. Seeing how important Ikuto is to Utau, Yukari makes the necessary calls to cancel the concert and move it to another night. Alot of fans are disappointed, but Yukari sees that Utau can't perform like this.
Meanwhile, in Japan, Amu can sense that something is wrong. She's in a meeting with the guardians and she's acting rather distracted and worried. Tadase starts to realize her behavior, but Rima, Yaya, and Nagihiko don't. "What's wrong, Hinamori-san?", Tadase asks. Not hearing the question but hearing her name, Amu looks up and says, "What?". Again, he asks her what's wrong and tells her she looks worried. She replies, "Something's wrong. I don't know how I'm feeling it, but I can sense it..". "I'm sorry!", Amu exclaims and runs out of the garden palace leaving all the guardians behind.
Ran, Miki, and Suu are following behind and Miki asks Amu, "Where are we going?". "I don't know, but I'm just going where my feeling is leading me!", she replies. Ran, Miki, and Suu just look at each other and shrug their shoulders while continuing to fly fast to keep up with Amu.
Amu finally finds herself at the hospital. Just one problem, how is she going to know what room to go in if she has absolutely no clue who she's looking for? Although, they did find it rather strange that there was about 20 cats outside. Suddenly, Ran senses a guardian chara. Then Suu does, and finally Miki. Then all at the same time they yell, "Amu!" Amu figures it out very quickly. The cats, the chara, it all makes sense now. Amu, looking shocked, blank, scared, worried, and sad all at the same time yells, "I-Ikuto!" She immediately goes to the front desk and asks for his room number. She literally runs to his room only to find him shirtless and covered in cords and wires that are hooked up to monitors. Amu runs to his bedside and tries to hold back the tears. It's no use. She cries and grabs his hand and gives it a squeeze. Ran, Miki, and Suu look sad too as if they're about to cry as well.
Then, they spot Yoru sitting on the railing on the other side of the bed looking at Ikuto very concerned. He doesn't even seem to notice them. Amu yells, "Yoru!" Scaring him, Yoru falls off the railing and onto the floor. He slowly floats back up rubbing his head because he bumped it when he fell. "What are you doing here?", he asked. They explain, then Yoru looks back at Ikuto and tells what happened. "Well, he had just got done fighting with these guys from Easter. He was trying to see what they were planning so he could try to stop them. They caught him and then they beat him. To make it even worse, one guy shocked him with some kind of weapon. They finally stopped and Ikuto tried to get home, but he passed out. Someone found him and called the ambulance. And now he's being monitored and stuff to make sure he's okay. He hasn't even woke up yet."
Amu squeezed his hand again. She had stopped crying but she started again. She said, "Ikuto please, please, please, wake up!" Almost as if he heard her, Ikuto opened his eyes quickly and gasped at the same time. He looked up and saw Amu looking at him and crying and asked,"Where am I?". "Ikuto!", Amu exclaimed surprised but happy. She squeezed his hand that she was holding and feeling it, he looked down at his hand to find her holding it. He looks up at her rather surprised. Embarrased, Amu turns red and tries to pull her hand away, but this time, Ikuto squeezes hers to hold on. Amu, shocked, squeezes back. Ikuto smiles at Amu and gives her hand one final squeeze and lets go. Secretly he was happy inside because he knew that she cared about him. Only one thing could make this moment better and that was Utau being there too.
He finally realizes he's in a hospital and asks why. Yoru, again, explains the whole thing. Amu was happy that Ikuto was distracted for a minute because she was staring at him smiling because she was happy that he was okay. She realizes that it's getting late and says, "It's getting late and I have to get home. I promise I'll be back tomorrow, Bye!".
Meanwhile, in America, Utau wakes up and realizes it's morning. "The concert!" she exclaims in English. "I missed it!" She runs into the other room. "Yukari!", she yells. "It's alright Utau. I've moved it to next week. I want you to go home tonight and see Ikuto. The concert can wait.",Yukari says. Surprised and relieved, Utau runs up to Sanjou. "Thank you!", she says. She gives her a quick hug. She only packs a few things because she'll be back next week and waits until nighttime. Later, when night comes, on the plane, she looks out the window and says, "Ikuto, I'm coming.".
