A/N Me: I don't own Shugo Chara…and what in the world are you doing Kayla?
Kayla: *Holding Cluby* Nothing… *Glances at Ikuto smirking*
Amu: Wait…I know that smirk, that's Ikuto's perverted smirk!
Me: *Hits forehead* I need a textbook…
Ikuto's Point of View
I slowly opened my eyes and couldn't even move; I ached everywhere. Aw, dang it… I looked at my clock and saw it was close to three in the afternoon yep, definitley sick. Suddenly, the door opened slowly, "Ikuto?" I heard Amu ask.
Once she was fully in the doorway she smiled gently, "How are you feeling?" she asked.
I groaned, "What do you think?" I asked.
Amu walked over and felt my forehead for a few seconds, "I had a feeling you'd get sick last night so I asked Yukari and Yuu to take Yoru, Eru, and Iru away for the day so they don't get sick," she said and removed her hand, "Ran, Miki, Su, Kairi, and Utau took Ami to school then went to school Yukari said they'll pick them up, but they said they'd walk back here and Musashi said something about taking Diane to the park for her to see the ducks."
I blinked, "You wrote all that in your notebook?" I asked.
Amu nodded, "I made you some soup," she said, "Are you hungry?"
I just nodded and got out of bed, "Even though your fever has gone down you should be resting, Ikuto," Amu said glaring slightly.
"I'm fine," I said, "Just achy."
Amu sighed, "Well, hopefully that means once you rest some more, or eat the soup, you'll be better," she said.
"What have you been doing while I was sleeping?" I asked.
"Um, I cleaned, got everybody up and ready, made you soup, uh…oh, and Yukari's going to handle Utau's jobs today seeing how you're sick," Amu said.
I blinked, "She just has a photo shoot and a recording today right?" Amu asked, "So, Yukari should be able to handle that, especially with Yoru, Iru, and Eru there with her."
"I guess," I said and sat on the couch while Amu went into the kitchen.
Amu then brought a bowl over, "Here," she said.
I took the bowl, "Thanks," I said, "But you didn't have to clean the whole house…how did you clean the whole house in just a few hours?"
Amu blushed lightly why is it when she blushes it looks so dang cute, "Um, I don't know, I just did."
I chuckled and ate the soup then blinked, "Is this can soup or homemade soup?" I asked.
"Homemade," Amu blushed again, "Is it bad?"
I chuckled, "Not even close," I said, "It's good, Amu, very good."
Amu smiled, "Thanks," she said.
I smirked and nodded. While I ate the soup I felt all aches slowly disappear. Once I was done I took the bowl into the kitchen, "Better?" Amu asked.
"Much," I said, "Thanks Amu."
Amu smiled. Suddenly, Ran, Miki, Su, Diana, and Ami walked in, "You feeling better Ikuto~ desu?" Su asked.
I nodded and everyone smiled, "I wonder how Diane and Musashi's date is going?" Diana chuckled.
"I don't think it's a date," Amu said.
"It's a date," Ran, Miki, Su, and Diana said in unison.
I chuckled. Suddenly, the phone rang, "I got it," Amu said.
"No," I said, "It might be Airi."
With that I picked up the phone, "Hello?" I asked.
No One's Point of View~ With Diane and Musashi~ Before the phone call
Diane and Musashi walked into the park. Diane giggled and ran to the pond and Musashi just chuckled, "So you were serious when you said you've never seen the ducks in the pond?" Musashi asked.
Diane nodded, "Mama and papa took me to see some at the zoo, but it's not like seeing them in the wild," she said.
Musashi smiled, "You know, you're like Yaya in some ways," he said.
Diane blinked then smiled. Suddenly, Diane was pushed into the water, "Ah!" she yelled.
Musashi turned and saw a boy with bright red hair and brown eyes. He wore a yellow shirt with blue jeans and white tennis shoes and had an ice cream cone in his right hand. Diane coughed up water and looked up, "Aki-kun?" she asked still coughing up water.
Aki smirked, "Well, that was fun," he stated.
Musashi glared and helped Diane out of the pond, "Are you okay?" he asked.
Diane nodded, "I'm fine," she said.
"Who's this? Your boyfriend?" Aki asked.
"No," Musashi said, "But you are not to touch her again."
"Aw, someone has a crush on Sweet Sunshine," Aki said.
"She's my friend and I have the protectiveness of a samurai," Musashi said.
Aki laughed, "Fine, but she should really try some of this ice cream," he said and shoved the ice cream in Diane's mouth.
"Hey!" Musashi yelled and punched Aki in the stomach, "I said not to-Diane?"
Diane fell to the ground coughing, "Diane!" Musashi yelled and bent down to her, "Diane what's wrong!"
Diane was coughing, "N-n-nuts…" Diane said struggling.
Musashi went wide eyed, "There were nuts in that!" he yelled at Aki.
"Yeah, why?" Aki asked.
"Baka! Baka!" Musashi yelled, "BAKA!"
Diane grabbed her throat as it started to close up, "Diane, calm down," Musashi said, "You'll speed up the process."
Diane couldn't talk. Musashi grabbed Diane bridal style and ran into the highway running as fast as he could. He carried the small girl in one of his arms while he grabbed his phone in the other, "Kairi!" Musashi yelled panicked, "Call everyone to the hospital!"
"Why?" Kairi asked.
"Some boy shoved nuts down Diane's throat!" Musashi yelled, "I'm about a block away from the hospital- call onee-chan and Diane's family! Hurry Kairi, her throat is already closing!"
Musashi hung up after that and Diane was wheezing in his arms, "Hang on Diane," Musashi yelled over the beeping horns of cars.
Diane grabbed Musashi's dark green shirt and he pulled her closer and he skillfully dodged traffic. He ran into the hospital, "Diane!" Nurse Hana yelled.
"Some boy shoved nuts down her throat about five minutes ago," Musashi said out of breathe.
Several doctors and nurses took Diane from Musashi and ran towards the ER. Suddenly, Kairi and his girlfriend, Yaya, ran in, "Where's Diane?" Kairi asked.
"In the ER," Nurse Hana said, "If all that happened in five minutes then it must've been a lot of nuts."
"He shoved ice cream into her mouth after he pushed her into the pond," Musashi said, "The ice cream must've had nuts mix into it."
Yukari, Yuu, Utau, Eru, Iru, and Yoru ran in next, "Is Diane okay?" Yuu asked out of breath.
"We're not sure," Nurse Hana said, "But it obviously was a lot of nuts."
Ran, Miki, Su, Diana, Ami, Amu, and Ikuto ran in, "Where's my sister!" Diana yelled.
"In the ER," Nurse Hana said calmly, "A boy shoved a pretty good amount of nuts into her body."
Ikuto turned to Musashi, "Who was the boy?" he asked dangerously.
"I think Diane said his name was Aki-kun," Musashi said.
"Aki!" Iru and Ikuto yelled.
"Oh…that boy is dead the minute I put a face to name," Ikuto muttered.
"I'm helping," Diana and Iru said in unison, growling.
Amu was rubbing her wrists as she quietly listened, watching Miki, who held Ami in her arms, "Why don't you all-" Nurse Hana was cut off when three more people ran in, "Amu!" Nagihiko, Rima, and Kukai yelled running in.
"Guys," Amu asked, "How'd you know Diane's here?"
"You mean you didn't call Kukai?" Nagihiko asked, "'Cause he's the one who called me and Rima."
"No, Kairi called us, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have Kukai's number," Amu said.
"You'd be right," Kairi said.
Kukai sighed and walked over to Utau, "Utau called me," he said.
"Huh?" everyone said confused.
Utau sighed, "When mom died, I went to the park," she said, "Before you found me, Ikuto, I had met Kukai. Kukai helped me with both mom and dad's death and with Kazuomi and Airi later on." (Me: In other words Kukai stopped Utau's brother complex.)
"Wait…what!" Rima and Nagihiko yelled.
Amu blinked confused, "Um okay," she said, "So you guys are like close friends?"
Utau blushed lightly, "Um, not exactly," she said and Kukai wrapped his arm around her waist.
Ikuto blinked, "When did this happen?" he said warningly.
"Um, two years ago," Utau said.
"Aw!" Eru said smiling.
Ikuto sighed, "You hurt her and see just how protective I can get," he said.
Kukai sweat dropped and Utau sighed, "And you didn't tell us you had a girlfriend why?" Rima asked a black aura surrounding her.
Kukai sweat dropped again, "Uh, 'cause you wouldn't believe me," he said.
"Point," Nagihiko said.
Kukai grinned lightly. Suddenly, a doctor came into the room.
Ikuto's Point of View
"How's Diane?" Nurse Hana asked.
"She's very lucky," the male doctor stated, "I mean extremely. We lost her for about two minutes."
"But she's fine right?" I asked.
"Yes," the doctor said, "She's fine, but she'll have to stay in the hospital at least over night to make sure we got all the nuts out of her system."
Amu had tears fall from her eyes, "Thank goodness," she said softly.
"We also need the person in charge of her to fill out papers," the doctor said.
I stiffened dang it, I'm technically not Amu and her siblings care taker…stupid 20 legal age limit in America its 18… "Um," Ran said nervously.
"That would be you two right?" the doctor asked Yukari and Yuu.
Yuu and Yukari blinked, "Um, yes…" Yukari said.
I blinked in shock did she just say yes? The doctor smiled, "Nurse Hana, please give them the papers while I go check on Hinamori Diane," he said.
"I'm going with you," Diana said, "She's my twin."
"Alright, but only one allowed in the room at a time," the doctor said then left with Diana in tow.
I looked at Yukari and Yuu, "Why'd you do that?" I asked.
"Because," Yuu said, "Su and her siblings are like family to us and you four obviously don't have that good of parents. So, it only seemed right to fill out papers."
Amu smiled, "Thank you," she said.
Yuu smiled while Yukari grabbed the papers, "Let's get started Yuu," she stated.
I closed my eyes for a few seconds, "Yukari," I stated causing the woman to turn to me.
I sighed, "This isn't permanent, but, for now, I trust you to be Utau's manager," I said hesitantly.
Yukari blinked and Utau's mouth dropped in shock. I looked at Amu and she was smiling, "Seriously?" Yoru asked.
I nodded, "Like I said," I stated, "This can easily change."
Kukai smiled and pulled Utau close to him, "Don't push yourself Souma," I stated.
Kukai just smirked lightly and Utau smiled. I sighed, "As long Diane's fine…" I grabbed Iru and Musashi, "You two are coming with me."
"Why?" Musashi asked.
"I want a face to a name," I stated and dragged them out of the hospital.
"Ikuto!" I heard Amu yell, but I ignored her no one hurts my sister and then one of my friends and gets away with it.
~At the Park
"You two see him anywhere?" I asked, anger clearly in my voice.
Iru looked around then glared, "There he is," she growled.
I looked and saw a bright red haired boy. I glared and walked over to him angrily. I grabbed him by the back of his shirt, "What the!" he yelled and struggled.
I slammed him against a tree, "Ow, what was that for!" Aki yelled.
"Well, let's see," I stated growling, "I have a list."
"Wait, you look like that loser Tsukiyomi Yoru," Aki said.
I growled, "You are not helping your case, boy," I stated, "You broke my sister's wrist and almost killed Diane."
"Who?" Aki asked.
I growled and even Musashi growled lightly, "That's it!" Iru yelled, "Kill him!"
I was about to punch this boy's face when something grabbed my wrist. I turned in shock, "Amu?" I asked shocked.
Amu was slightly out of breath, "Don't hurt him," she stated.
"And why not?" I asked, "He almost killed Diane!"
"I understand that," Amu said, "But I don't want you getting charged for hurting him."
I calmed down slightly, "And you're the girl with the short term memory loss?" Aki asked.
I glared, "You, run," I stated, "Before I change my mind."
Aki sighed, "Whatever, weirdo," he said.
"Come on, Ikuto," Amu stated pulling my arm, "You two too."
I sighed and followed Amu. Suddenly, Amu fell to the ground with a yelp, "Amu!" I yelled along with Iru and Musashi.
I turned and saw Aki smirking, "That's it," I said, "You are dead the minute I get my hands on you!"
Aki apparently saw something snap in me because he ran. Once he was out of sight I bent down to Amu, my anger subsided for the time being, "Are you okay?" I asked.
Amu held her ankle, "I think I twisted it," she stated.
"Can you stand up?" Musashi asked.
Amu shook her head, "I've tried," she said, "I'm not that good with pain."
I closed my eyes for a few seconds that boy is going to die the next time I see him. I opened my eyes and picked Amu up bridal style. Amu blushed a deep red once I stood up again, why is that cute on her and not any other girl her age, "Um, thanks Ikuto," she said nervously, "But you didn't have to do that."
I gave her a look, "And how were you planning on getting home?" I asked her.
Amu blushed again, "Um," she said.
"My point exactly," I said, "Now, come on, we're going to the hospital."
"Ikuto, you don't have to-"
"Amu," I stated, "You and your siblings are a part of our family now."
"Um, are you sure?" Amu asked.
I nodded, "You're staying with us aren't you?" I asked.
"Well, yes," Amu said, "But it's only until your parents get back."
"Now who told you that?" I asked, "Airi and Kazuomi don't own the house; I do. The only reason I haven't kicked them out is because the law says a legal adult has to be in charge of us."
Amu looked down, "I really do want you guys to get into trouble…" she said.
I sighed, "Don't worry," I stated, "Airi and Kazuomi aren't due back for at least two months."
I walked back into the hospital and froze, "…or less than a week," I muttered.
Amu gulped and Iru grabbed my pants, "Ikuto-kun," Airi said moving her black hair out of her dark green eyes, "What's going on here!"
A/N Ikuto: Holy -Insert your choice of wording here- *Dodges Cluby barely*
