Chapter 7

Yoru's POV

I smiled at Ikuto and waved him over, "Hey, nice to see you again, Ikuto."

"Same here, Yoru. So, Amu's fever is almost gone right?" he asked sincerely.

"Yup, so there's nothing to worry about. She should be ok by tomorrow." I assured him.

He let out a sigh of relief and smiled. Ren then flew up to me and started poking my face. I twitched.

Poke.

Twitch.

Poke.

Twitch.

Poke.

Twitch.

Poke.

Twitch.

'That's it!' I thought and grabbed him by the neck of his red basketball jersey he was wearing. "Will you stop that?" I shouted at him. He is definitely grating on my last nerve.

"Hey, Let me go!" the red haired chara yelled at me, "I was just checking to make sure you're real."

"And what's that suppose to mean, Chibi?" I glared. Is he imposing I'm a fake?

I inwardly smirked as he failed miserably in struggling out of my hold. "I mean, how is it possible you became a human, Yoru? I just want to see if you're the real thing or just an image. So, will you let me go now?" he explained.

I let him go and he went back to eating Ikuto's chocolates that Akira had given him. I turned to Micky, the chara with blue slicked back hair and a pair of glasses wearing a standard boys school uniform, and asked, "Is he always like that?"

"If you must know, yes. He is the playful chara out of the three of us and is usually the one that gets into the most trouble." He explained in a professional voice.

"So I guess you are the smart one and Suto, is the gentleman who knows how to cook, seeing that he's wearing a butler uniform and is starting to make something out of the chocolates…HEY! Behind you!" I screamed and ran to catch the falling object that Suto had accidentally knocked over. My cat ears and tail appeared and I made a dive for it and luckily I caught it before it hit the ground. I heaved a sigh of relief and placed the object back on the table. The object was actually a picture in the frame with Amu holding a violin standing beside a man with purple hair.

"Sorry about that, I'll be more careful next time." Suto apologized and I just sighed again.

"It's ok." I looked at the picture again. It was when Amu was younger and when she would…smile more. I just wistfully stared at it.

"Hey, Yoru, is that an important picture?" Ikuto walked up to me and I could only nod, "Is that Amu and…"

"Her father. Her real father." I answered, "It's a really important picture to her so please be careful next time."

"Hey, what's wrong?" Akira yelled from the stairs. He must of heard the commotion we caused down here.

"Nothing, is Amu awake?" I shouted back to him, glad to change topic.

"Yeah, she woke up and she it seems her fever is gone!" He happily exclaimed, "I'll make dinner! Ikuto, you wanna stay for dinner?"

"Sure, we can do some catching up." Ikuto smiled. I could tell that he's a good friend of Akira's and for that I'm glad.

Akira's POV

It has been a long time since our house has been this lively. Filled with warmth and laughter. I wonder if we can keep it like this. It's finally feeling like it was years ago.

"Hey, Ikuto, what plans do you have over the holidays?" I asked in hopes of having time to hang out with him again before I needed to leave for work again.

"Maybe go on dates with Tadako and just stay home." He answered thoughtfully, "How about you?"

"I'll mostly go out with Kukari, go partying with Amu and just staying home." I smiled. However, I wonder if Ikuto knows what his girlfriend's sister did…but I don't think Amu dislikes Tadako.

"Partying with Amu?" Ikuto looked up at me surprised.

"Yeah, my best buddy, Kaoru, always invite us to his house for a week long Christmas party." Amu answered for me, "He's one of my friends on the basketball team at school. The party is at his family's villa near a ski resort and it's only just the team with Akira and Kukari."

"Yeah, it's a lot of fun hanging out with them!" I grinned, "The hard part last year was getting Kukari's brothers to let her go."

"Would you like to come, Ikuto? I don't think Kaoru would mind having an extra person at his villa. The more the merrier you know." Amu invited.

I inwardly cheered. If Ikuto agreed then I get to hang out with my best friend to make up for the lost time when I had to go to work. What a great holiday it's turning out to be.

"Really? I'll go!" Ikuto grinned, "It's good to get to know the people you'll be facing in basketball later."

"Well I'll go phone him later tonight to let him know," Amu giggled, "It would definitely be fun."

We all finished our dinner quickly with laughter and happiness and it was already time for Ikuto and Kukari to leave. Time sure flies by when you're enjoying it.

"Thanks for the food." Ikuto and Kukari thanked Yoru and me.

"Sis, I'm gonna walk Kukari home with Ikuto! I'll be back later!" I informed Amu and put on my jacket.

"OK, be careful!" she called out and continued washing the dishes. She should be resting, after all, she just recovered from her fever.

We walked in the snow for awhile until I just had to ask even if I knew Kukari will scold me later about it, "Hey, Ikuto, you know Tadako has a sister, right?"

"Akira! I told you – " I cut Kukari off.

"I know, Kukari, but I just need to ask, ok?" I squeezed her hand and she gave a nod.

"Yeah, so what about it?" Ikuto said.

"Just don't go too close to her sister. Tadako is a good girl, but her sister is bad news." I muttered.

"Why would you say that?" he asked skeptically, "You don't know her?"

"I do know her! It from past experience!" I shouted, "I'll never forget it…never…"

"Akira…please…don't…" Kukari tightened her grip on my hand, which made me regain my confidence.

"It's just something really bad happened to us when we were younger. It was because of me…"

Flashback

I was really mad at what Tamako did to Amu by making her friendless so I plucked up the courage to go find her and give her a piece of my mind. I saw her at the playground and was going to storm up to her when I saw Amu already there.

"What are you doing here, Akira?" Amu hissed, "Go home now!"

"No! Nee-san, I'm not going!" I stayed put, being the stubborn kid I am.

"Hm…how sweet. Your litter brother protecting you," Tamako pushed me and I fell on the gravel and scraped my knee.

"How dare you!" Amu growled and pounced on Tamako, "I don't care what you do to me, but don't you dare touch my brother!" she pulled on the mean girl's hair.

However, when the adults came to separate them, they asked what's wrong and Tamako, using her 'charm' made them think that Amu hit her for no reason and I tried to defend her, but all the girls that were watching sided with Tamako and in turn made us liars. However the hardest thing to hear for me was having an adult say that my sister was so violent.

"How do they teach her at home?"

"Is she adopted?"

"Don't go near her, she's a bad influence."

It was painful to hear what they say about Nee-san (A/N: means older sister), when all she did was trying to protect me. They just assumed that she hurt Tamako when the one with more cuts and bruises was Nee-san.

"Nee-san, why do you just let them say that about you?" I asked with tears falling down my cheeks.

"It doesn't matter as long as you're ok, Akira." She smiled and took my hand to go home to an empty house.

End Flashback

Kukari was hugging me tightly now and I noticed that Ikuto was speechless. It still felt like yesterday that that incident happened because from then on, Amu just didn't care for how she looked or acted anymore. It became worse after we were in elementary school. She always looked so empty and I tried to help to bring life back to her once happy eyes.

"Hey, Ikuto, you and Tadako are my friend. I just don't like Tamako because I can tell that she doesn't really like Tadako much. Please take care of her, she was a girl that we cared greatly for when we were younger." I smiled sadly.

"I understand, but aniki…he still doesn't understand…"Ikuto sighed.

"Hmph. He won't understand even after years of persuading. He'll come to figure it out when it hits him the hardest and he'll regret what he did." I scowled, "I won't forgive him even if he is your brother."

"No problem. I think I'll just side with you guys. I guess my brother does deserve what he'll be getting in the end." Ikuto sighed, "Can Tadako come with us to the party? I think she'll like it."

"Sure, I'm sure sis will love to have her come. Tadako does not live in the same house as her sister since that woman moved out, so I think she'll like hanging out with us again." I smiled, "Now let's get you guys home!" I tugged Kukari and Ikuto along the road to their homes and I just couldn't wait until the party!
