"ikuto, you can come in now, im done changing," little amu said to the only family she had {beside Hazel, of course}.
She'd just finished changing from the baby blue hospital gown and she was wearing a new outfit a nurse gave to her after she found her cloths covered in blood.
"okay, are you sure you want to do this alone?" he said, he didn't want to leave her side, he'd become extremely protective of her over the years.
"yes, Hazel and I can handel it." She sounded confident, but he knew better.
"can I help, Hazel nya?" the miniature floating cat asked.
"no Yoru, you cant come with us." Hazel volleyed back.
"stubborn as ever I see," ikuto said, his sarcastic side peeking through his usual gentlemanly attitude.
"we should get going soon. "Hazel said, sticking her head out of amu's hoodie.
-lAtEr-
Her father delivered what would have been the final blow for any other child without a guardian chara's help and a crack was heard through the small kitchen.
Her small skull clip had cracked right down the middle… and as it started to chip away, she saw her small chara thrown out of her body and watched her hit the tile floor with a thud.
then, she began chipping away as well, pixilating, almost…
'NO!!!' She mentally said to her small guardian.
"Could this mean… your leaving me…?'
'amu' her chara responded 'be strong……'
And a small pile of dust was swept up by the wind, and was blown into amu's small body.
amu ran quikly to her room and away from those murderers, crashing out of her window, into ikuto's arms.
Sobbing silently, she felt herself being lifted off the ground.
Now at ikutos house sitting on a couch in his room, she had calmed down enough to speak.
"oh my god, ikuto, it was terrible from the moment I got there, they {sniff} they were saying something about my little sister and, and that they didn't need me anymore, and something, {cough,} about killing her later like they were going to kill me." She stuttered, crying harder at the memory of the earlier event.
"shhhhh… it's ok, your safe, im not going to let them hurt you anymore… " he lulled her into a semi calm state before asking, "where's Hazel?"
She sobbed again, reaching into her pocket and slowly pulling out the cracked clip in several pieces.
"they killed her………they KILLED her…"
"its alright amu, we'll make sure she didn't die in vain…"
"ikuto, if what they said about a "sister" is true, we have to save her. Once she's old enough, it'll be a living hell for her. I have to stay, at least, 'till I can get her out of there."
"amu, I promise, that I will save you and your supposed sister, no matter what." He swore to himself, her, and her unborn sister that stormy day.
-back to present{yes, if you look in second chapter it says "–flashback"}
Amu stirred awake, early in the morning, unusual for a teenage girl such as herself.
Ikuto stumbled through the door, covered in fresh cuts and bruises.
"ikuto! What happened! You look like hell run you over." She said a bit playfully, rushing to hold him up.
"amu!" ami shouted from around the corner, dashing into the apartment to hug her sister.
Amu helped ikuto to the bed before running to her sister with tears of pure joy and relief at her safety.
"ikuto, thank you for saving me." Ami said, helping amu to bandage his wounds.
Ikuto just nodded weekly and asked to talk with amu alone.
When they were alone, she started to get up saying she had to get him the larger first aid kit, interrupted when he caught her hand, she gasped, turning around to face him.
"amu, you and youre sister need help, and I can't help the both of you, I was thinking maybe you and your sister could go to a rehab center to recover, you've just been through so much."he asked, pained.
"ikuto, you want to send us to a looney bin because you cant help us ?!" she said, a bit upset, a bit hurt, and a bit… lonely?
"amu, I wouldn't ask if I really didn't think this was the only way.." he said looking away, ashamed of his idea, and frustrated he couldn't protect them like he promised.
"ikuto, I cant go, I cant leave you… we've been together since I was little… you helped me so much, and today.. you saved ami… something I could never do by myself…"she said looking down under her bangs.
"amu, it will all work out, I promise…"he said slowly and soothingly, pulling her into a soft, warm hug.
He winced as her salty tears driped down onto his skin, he imagined it burning through to his heart and turning into acid.
+next morning+
"who are you checking in again, dear?"an elderly woman at a larg L shped desk asked.
"amu and ami hinamori." He said sadly.
"okay then, we'lll just have my assistant help them to they're rooms, Rima-chan," she called.
A blond child came down the hallway, but as she walked closer, he could see she was about amu's age.
"yes?" she asked nonchalantly.
"can you help amu and her sister to the rooms, 26 and 27 so they're right across from each other?" the lady at the desk asked.
"m'kay, this way." She led from the sitting area away from his sight, and amu looked back regretfully.
"bye," amu said looking away.
Bye… he thought, not good enough…
He quickly walked towards her and the blond, Rima,and enclosed her in a warm and emotional embrace.
Both Rima and Ami looked away, not wanting to disturb them or ruin the moment.
They broke away and as she began walking again, ikuto rushed out, telling himself he would be back later for a REAL goodbye.
+LATER THAT NIGHT+
Ikuto crept into her room stealthily, he couldn't help but thank her mentally for insisting he learn to pick locks after a week locked in a broom closet.
He walked to her bed and knelt down near her ear and whispered a silent apology, and confession.
"If only she knew," he thought sadly, knowing she would never find the same feeling of passion and devotion… and love, in his memory as he would always in hers.
"goognight…"
KARMA: so was she awake?
ME: no, sorry, I would have made the end bit longer and let her say goodbye and stuff, but theni'd get carried away and their first kiss would have been bumped up a chapter.
KARMA: oh…is that a bad thing?
ME: please tell me if it was to cliché or anything
HAZEL: it was, she knows it too, she just wants to know which part stood out most or whatever.
ME: ;P
ME: sorry it was a bit late, I got sick again
HAZEL: cheers for your last tamaflu!
ME: that's right! No more huge pills! Weeeee!
PETER: expect next chapter soon.
ME; not TO soon though.
