Author's note- ok I do not own shugo chara or the quote from the house of night book. With that done and out of the way, please read and review and tell me your honest opinion. I take criticism very well so R&R!

Recap- They were filled with hurt, sadness, and love but most of all pain. I shook my head muttering "Ikuto get a hold of yourself, she has clearly chosen who she wants to be with" with that said I got off that rock to go to the only place I knew that nobody knew about…..

Chapter 8

Amu's POV after Ikuto's little speech

I didn't know what to do. The world around me slowly turned gray. All light disappeared and everything became cold. It was as if the cold, strong arms of death took me into his embrace. I thought I was dead, in all honesty I hoped I was dead. Anything would be better than the cruel reality that awaited me if I was to wake up. But life is cruel and ruthless and for the first time in my 16 years I realized this fact and a horrible fact it is. I tried to open my eyes, but they wouldn't open, I tried to move nothing happened. Then I heard his voice.

"Tell. Me. Right. Now. Why she is in a coma" a low cold voice filled with venom and absolute hate said

"I…I…I...I ddddon't why ssshe is iiin a cccccoma" a clearly frightened man said

There was a loud crash and the venom filled voice spoke again, I was sure if my body was responding to me, then I would have shivered from the coldness in his voice.

"Don't play dumb with me; I know, you know, why she is in a coma. Now the question is are you going to tell me, or am I going to have to use other methods, to get the information I want from you?"

"Nnnno Hatori Sama, you don't have to do that *gulp*…. Akito Sama doesn't li"

My hearing started to fade again as I was pulled from the world of the living back into the welcoming darkness… then shock brought me back to my semi awake state.

I realized who the angry man was, and who the man was talking about. Tadase….. It can't be him he supposed to be an angel and why in the hell is he talking about me.

Then I remembered something my mother said right before she was taken, "my sweet little Amu, always remember darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good." I mentally shuddered, because my body wasn't currently cooperating with me. A loud crash got my attention.

"THAT SON OF A BITCH! I SWEAR TO GOD THE NEXT TIME I SEE HIM, IM GONNA SHOVE MY FOOT SO FAR UP HIS ASS, THAT HE WILL TASTE SHOE LEATHER FOR CENTRIES!" Tadase yelled

"Hatori Sama somebody will hear you" the frightened man whimpered

"No, the room is sound proof, his ass is going to be mine, that lying son of bitch, he better be glad she didn't die because of the drug I gave her, or he would have suffered much worse than a shoe up his ass" Tadase darkly muttered.

Wait did he say drug? I might be half awake but I know that boy said drug. Then it hit me, my mom was right, light isn't always good, and Tadase was clearly not good.

He drugged me, he planned this whole thing, to get Ikuto to hate me and run so I could be his. When I figured this entire thing out, I vowed on my life that I will never let that vile man get in-between me and Ikuto ever again. Then my hearing started to fade again, and it became harder and harder to think. The warm arms of darkness were spread before me and becoming me to it. I sunk willingly back into the darkness's embrace, going back to my peaceful deep sleep.

Normal POV

There was a knock on the door

Tadase whipped around and instantly put on his princely boy façade right when Utau, Rima, Nagi and Kukai walked in. Rima went wide eyed at the sight of Amu and immediately went up to Tadase, pulled him by his collar down to her eye level and whispered menacingly

"tell. Me. What. Happened. Now." Tadase shuttered and started going into a lengthy lie on how and why Amu was in a coma, and of course painting Ikuto in the evil light.


-Time skip-


Kukai POV after Tadase's lie

No that can't be what happened. I have known Ikuto for a very long time and I know he tends to not pick up on things when he is furious. But I also know that Amu is deeply in love with Ikuto; and she would never willingly jump on Tadase like that. It's too suspicious to me, so I go and track down the only person I know Ikuto is close with besides me that is not a girl. Nagihiko

"Yo Nagi, come over here for a second" I said casually. Nagi turned giving me a questioning look and walked over two where I was standing and asked

"what is it Kukai?"

Ok hopefully he thinks the same thing

"Nagi, don't you think it's a little too fishy, I just really can't believe Amu would jump on him like that"

"Your right I was thinking the same thing. I wish we could ask Amu but she is in a coma" Nagi said somberly

"I want to find Ikuto and smack some god damn sense into his head" Rima muttered darkly popping up out of no where

Nagi and I scream together

"WHERE IN THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM!"

That's when Utau comes in and says between fits of laughter

"you see boys, she came from her mother's v….." I interrupted Utau from saying the rest by covering her mouth with my hand with a bright red blush on my face.

"Anyway, how about we talk about more important matters, like where Ikuto is and what we should do" I said desperately trying to change the subject

"Owww Utau that hurt" I said in a whining tone while rubbing my hand because Utau bit me.

She glared daggers at me and said

"well you deserved it, anyway as for the Ikuto thing that's easy, I know where he is and as for what we do; we smack some sense into him before we drag his sorry ass back here."

Everybody stared at her until Rima spoke up

"I think that's a great plan, I have wanted to slap him, sense I started working here, and how about we meet at dawn at the southern gate?"

We all nodded in agreement and went our separate ways, to prepare for tomorrow's ummm I guess you could say quest?
