Chapter 6
Two months after amu was brought to the hospital
Ikuto's pov
I sat next to Amu's bed holding her hand in mine. She still hadn't woken up. I laid my head on the bed and looked up at her. If it wasn't for the beeping of the heart rate monitor I word have wondered if she was alive. She was so pale and she had lost so much weight. It's my fault this happen to her I just know it. I kissed her hand. Then I realized her eyes were starting to open. I stood up knocking my chair back. A nurse ran in followed by Yoru and some girl with blue hair and a guy with purple hair that looked a lot like that Nagihiko guy. I put my hand on Yoru's shoulder.
"Yoru I wasn't here at all got it. You're the one who found her." I said before walking out of the room. It seemed no one noticed the folded envelope in Amu's hand. As I walked down the hall I heard what amu said as she woke up.
"Ikuto don't leave me!" she said rather loudly. I placed my hand on my chest and took a deep breath, then continued to walk forward. Leaving Amu behind. I knew that if I wasn't there then she had a chance of healing. Yoru would help her heal. All she would have to remember me would be the contents of that small envelope. I sighed again as I saw my car parked where I had left it. I ignored the stares that I was getting from the girls in the area. The only person I could think of was Amu.
Amu's pov
When I woke up the first thing I saw was Ikuto walking out of the room. He said something to Yoru. Why is he leaving me, I wa…, I need him. "Ikuto don't leave me!" I said as loud as I could. Yoru placed his hand on mine.
"Amu your ok nyaa" he said happily. I looked up at him confused. Ok had something happen to me. Why was I in a hospital? Why is rhythm here? And is that… miki?! I sat up to quickly and became dizzy. Yoru laid be back down.
"Be careful amu-Chan you don't want to do things to quickly you've been out of it for a month" miki said stepping forward. I blinked a few times then remembered that I always see my friends. I just rolled over and pulled my blanket over my head. Ikuto must have had something to take care of he'll be back soon. "Amu is something wrong nyaa?" Yoru pushed my hair out of my face and I realized that I no longer had feelings for him.
"Yo amu what's that in your hand?" rhythm asked. I looked and saw a small envelope. It felt like there was something inside. "I don't know it was just there…" I said looking at it. When I opened it up I found a black necklace with a silver cross hanging off it. I recognized it right away. It was the one that Ikuto usually wore. Suddenly my eyes became blurry. And I felt myself shutting down. Miki grabbed my hand. Wait why can she touch me she isn't real.
"Amu Chan Amu Chan what's wrong!" she cried. I tied the necklace around my neck and aloud myself to shut down. Ikuto don't leave me all alone. Come back. I don't want to go back to the way I was before. Ikuto come back. I wanted to call out for him. But my voice wouldn't work. My mouth wouldn't move. I could tell I was back to the way I was before. I knew that even the auto pilot I had been running on before was gone. The only way I can escape is by being with Ikuto. The necklace seemed to burn.
Why, why did he have to leave me? Why did he have to do this to me? Why couldn't he just leave me alone? Let me go on with my life. That would have been better. But now I don't think I will ever be free. Miki and Yoru were calling my name but I wanted nothing to do with them. Everything would just be fine if I could just forget. I closed my eyes and let myself fall asleep.
Two weeks later
I sat up and looked around. I was in a hospital room, alone. A name plate said Hinamori Amu. Amu is that my name? What happen to me? I walked over to the closet and opened it. Inside were a short black skirt and a black tank top and a grey jacket. It seemed like a boy's jacket. I took off the uncomfortable hospital closed and put on the clothes from the closet. I looked out the window and saw that everything was covered in a thick white powder. I pulled on a pair of stockings and some boots. I reached for the jacket. When I touched it I saw a flash of blue hair and a silver cross necklace. My hand went to my neck were the necklace hung. Then a nurse walked in.
"Oh Hinamori-san your awake. How are you feeling?" she asked. I looked at her and smiled. "I'm feeling great. Do you think I will be able to go home today?" I asked putting my hands in the jacket pocket. There seemed to be something there. I pulled it out. It was an I.D., I put it back. "Hmm I think you should be able to go home. Do you want to call someone to pick you up?" she asked sweetly. I shook my head. "No um do you know who brought me here?"
"Yeah, your older brother, He's quite a cutie. Stayed with you most of the time but after the first time you woke up he stopped coming. "I see. He's Ikuto, right?" I asked remembering the name on the I.D. she nodded. "Yup that's what he said. Do you want us to call him?" I thought for a moment.
"No I think I want to surprise him. I'll just go to his house." She smiled and nodded. "Ok I'm sure he'll be really happy to see you." She said. I smiled and walked out of the hospital room after gathering the few belongings I had. I wonder who he really is, definitely not my brother. Maybe a close friend or a boyfriend. He probably lied so he could go in with me. But I can't seem to figure out how he is connected to me. I feel angry at him yet I also feel like I want to be with him. I wonder what will happen when I see him. I don't know how but I was able to find my way around easily. Soon I found myself outside an apartment building. I walked into the building and up to the desk.
"Excuse me could you tell me which apartment belongs to Tsukiyomi-kun?" I asked her. She smiled. "Are you one of his friends?" she asked. Something told me there was a hidden meaning behind the word friend. "I'm not really sure… seems I've been out of it for a while… and the nurse told me I was related to him or something." I said shrugging. She sighed. "I see room 609" she said. I nodded and walked to the elevator.
Ikuto's pov
The smell of coffee filled my small apartment. Making me grumble and sit up. It was eleven thirty in the morning. I sighed. "Still too early" I mumbled as I pulled of the old t-shirt and shorts I wore to bed. I pulled a tight dark blue shirt off the desk and pulled on a pair of tight jeans. I picked up the picture that was sitting on my desk and sighed. There was no way anyone would find out about that picture. I set it back down and walked into the small kitchen. I picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then added two things of sugar. The phone started ringing.
"What do you want" I growled into the phone. "Well good morning to you to Tsukiyomi-san" said the flirtatious lady that worked in the lobby. "What do you want?" I asked again. "there's a girl on her way up says she thinks she's related to you." She said smiling. I blinked, thinks she's related that's weird I couldn't be utau she doesn't know where I live. I made sure of that. "What does she look like?" the lady thought for a moment before answering. "She had bubble gum pink hair and honey gold eyes" she said. My eyes widened. The only person I know by that description is Amu. But why would she say she's related to me. I thought to myself. "Thanks" I pressed the end button and dropped the phone.
I walked over to the door to open it. Maybe I could make it to the stairs before she got off the elevator. When I opened the door I found myself bumping into Amu. She stared up at me as though trying to figure something out. I leaned against the door.
"How did you find me Amu?" I asked. She must have been freezing wearing that short skirt. I noticed that she wore my necklace and the jacket I had left at her house. "Easy when you leave your I.D. laying around. She held out my I.D. I smirked. "Wondered where that went. So I suppose you want to come in then." She nodded and walked in her shoulder brushing against my arm. I walked over and bent down so my face was even with hers. She didn't blush like usual. "So what do you want Amu" I asked. Suddenly something slammed into the side of my face. Causing my head to jerk to the side. I looked back at her, my hand on my cheek. She was staring at her hand as though she didn't plan to do that.
"What the hell Amu why did you just slap me?" I said a bit too loud. She flinched. "How do I know you?" she asked looking down. I stared down at her eyes wide. "Amu you don't remember me?" I asked shocked. She nodded. "I don't remember anything. But when I touched your jacket I saw an image of you then I saw the I.D. and I came to find you. But I'm mad at you and at the same time I want to see you more than anything" she said her eyes filling with tears. I smiled; no matter how strong she acts she's really fragile.
"Amu I hurt you on purpose. It's my fault you ended up in the hospital. You should hate me." I said coldly. She stared at me trying to remember anything. Suddenly she fell to her knee's holding her head. "Amu! What's wrong?!" I kneeled down in front of her placing my hands on her shoulders. Tears ran down her face. "It hurts my head really hurts" I pulled her against my chest holding her protectively. She clung to my shirt crying. "Its ok amu it will go away in a bit. Here take this." I said slipping some aspirin into her mouth. She swallowed it. I stroked her hair. "Don't cry Amu ok" I whispered. She nodded and pressed her face into my shirt. I stood up and carried her to my bed room. She clutched my shirt. Her eyes shut tight. "So you don't remember anything Amu?" I asked her keeping my voice low so it didn't bother her too much. She nodded and wrapped her arms around me. My face suddenly felt hot. Could I be… blushing? I laid her down on my bed. "You must be cold in such revealing clothes" I whispered into her ear. Glad when her face turned its usual shade of pink. Even if she doesn't remember me I will make her. "Maybe you should but something warmer on" I said brushing her hair out of her face. "I guess… but it hurts when I move" she said looking down. I noticed she was shaking. "Then I guess I will have to help you change" I said smirking. Her face turned three shades redder. "N…no I...I can do it" she stuttered. I decided to tease her. "But Amu it's not the first time I've seen you without your clothes. She stared at me in shock. "Do you mean w…we, Did that" she said her mouth hanging wide open. I chuckled, "don't worry Amu it's just when I found you before I brought you to the hospital you had on thin clothes and they were completely soaked. And you were shivering so much. I changed you into some of my extra clothes." She was looking up at me lost in thought.
I walked over to the closet and pulled out a t-shirt and pair of old shorts. I noticed that she was half asleep. "Just stay awake a few more minutes Amu just till you get changed ok." She looked at me strangely.
Amu's pov
: Flashback:
My eyes were drooping again. "No amu you can't sleep just hold on ok" Ikuto shook me a bit and pressed a sweater to my head. I winced and seemed to wake up a bit.
"That's it Amu just stay awake a bit longer. You can sleep soon but not now ok." he said gently.
: Flashback:
"That's right you kept me awake after you found me. My head was bleeding." I whispered looking up at him. He nodded then pulled my shirt over my head. He quickly put his shirt on me than slipped the shorts on me under the skirt. He removed my skirt. "Yeah that's right. I was worried that you might have a concussion." He said. I just nodded felling tired. "You sleep. I'll call Yoru." He said not really paying attention to me. I tilted my head.
"Who's Yoru?" I asked up at him. He seemed confused for a moment then seemed to remember that I had no memory. "Yoru is my little brother. You went out with him for a while. He should know you checked out of the hospital." He stood up, a sad expression on his face. I reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt. He froze and looked back at me. "What is it Amu?" he asked in a kind voice. "Ikuto what is our relationship?" I asked. His face became expressionless as he searched for an answer. "We're good friends" he said hesitantly. I frowned. "What were we?" I said waiting for an answer. He stared down at me shocked at my answer. "We… I don't know we were a bit closer than friends but it was never much. It ended quickly." He said looking down at me almost longingly. "You did… you don't want it to end." I said my eyes wide. He frowned and walked out of the room. I ran after him and hugged him around the waist. He stiffened.
"Amu you…." He began. I shook my head hugging him tighter. He sighed and placed his hand on mine. "I don't know why Ikuto but I don't want to let go of you. I'm afraid you might leave me. I don't know why I'm feeling like this." He turned around and hugged me. His lips moved along my jaw line, causing me to blush. He seemed to be taking in my scent. He nibbled at my ear. "I…Ikuto w…what are you doing." I stuttered. Suddenly he pressed his lips to mine kissing me hungrily. On instinct I reached up and tangled my fingers in his hair, kissing him back. His tongue ran over my lips and I granted him access. After a minute he pulled away a bit. Both of us were breathing heavily.
"Ikuto no one has to know that I'm out of the hospital yet. Right?" I whispered. He put his forehead against mine. "I guess your right" he said smiling at me. I pressed my lips against his again. He place one of his hands on the small of my back, pulling me closer. "Ikuto I want you to be my first" I said gasping for air. He stared at me shocked for a minute, and then smirked. He lifted me up bridal style and carried me back to his room.
