Recap:

"Amu open this goddamn door now!!" we all heard a dark, evil voice...

Amu's dad.

~*Enamored*~

Amu froze in shock. The only thing I could think of was to hold her in my arms. The fear in her eyes were bringing me a sharp pain at the pit of my stomach. "I-Ikuto..." she murmured. I put my hand on her head. "Shh...it's okay. Everything will be fine." I replied. She grabbed onto my short tighter. "Amu! Get your ass out here now!" we heard his voice. I looked at the guys and they had anger in their eyes. Even Kairi and he barely ever shows emotion. "Let me at him..." Kukai growled.

Everyone was trying to protect Amu. But seeing how big her dad is. I don't know if we can...but we can sure as hell try. I walked Amu over to Nagihiko and told him to keep her in his arm. I looked at the door , which was still being banged on. I growled silently as I slowly walked towards it. "Ikuto what are you doing?" Nagihiko asked. I just ignored him and opened the door. There stood Amu's dad with a very angry and sadistic look on his face. I shivered a little, but I hid it with an angry expression of my own. "Amu's not here." I growled. Her dad grimaced and pushed my aside. He went straight towards her, darting for her hair. "Amu!" I shouted as he grabbed her hair. The guys stood there in complete shock as her dad picked her up by her hair. She was screaming and whimpering in pain. It was killing me completely. But why can't I move? Why can't I save her? My legs won't listen to my brain,...they won't respond.

"You're coming with me." her dad growled with a smirk. He was walking towards the door -where I was at-. I looked at Amu. She had tears coming out of her eyes. She shut one eye, wincing in pain. Her hands were on her head and her teeth were clenched. "S-Stop." she cried. Her dad ignored her. She looked at me with a tear stained face. "Ikuto...help." that's when it hit me. A sudden adrenaline rush bursted in me. I sprang up, and grabbed Amu's dad's arm. "Don't you dare touch her again." I growled. Her dad looked at me, as I jerked him away and brought Amu in my arms.

Nagihiko, Kukai, and Tadase went over to Amu and they all put their hands on her head. "I can't beleive this guy." Nagihiko said with a very frightening expression on his face. I nodded. Kairi was standing in front of him, with a very scary glare. Her dad made a grimace, then looked in my direction. "I will take my daughter back. You can't stop me from doing so." he said walking slowly towards us.

I looked at Amu and her eyes were closed. I couldn't really tell whether she was conscious or not. The next thing I knew, was a very hard surface hitting my head... that bastard threw me against the wall. I put my head on my head and looked at it. I saw a bit of a red liquid. I grimaced as I looked up. Amu's dad was grabbing Amu's arm, while the guys were trying to fight him off.

I struggled while getting up. But once I was on my feet, I gave a glare at her dad. "You can hit me all you want, but if you hit her, that's when I get pissed." I said with a smirk. Her dad looked at me and returned the smirk. "Like I said," he said pushing away Nagihiko, Tadase, Kukai and Kairi. "You can't stop me. I will take my daughter home with me." he said pulling Amu closer.

I walked closer. "Why do you want her so bad? All you do is treat her like shit. How can you look into her eyes and treat her the way you do?" I asked in disbelief. "The answer is simple." he said with hard glare. "This little piece of who-cares-what ruined my life." he said. I grimaced. "How in the hell did she do that?" I asked/growled.

He hardened his cold glare as he put Amu back on the floor. She was knocked unconscious. He must've hit her so that she wouldn't struggle. I grimaced. He looked at me. "It was her fault that I'm the way I am now. Because of this little piece of crap being born, my life was ruined!" he exclaimed giving a glare at her. My head started to pound, and it was trailing down to my arm. At that point I noticed that my arm was hurt as well. I looked at Amu. She was curled up a little, her arms were scrunched in front of her and her legs were slightly bent. She had a cut on her lip, and a small bruise on her cheek. Of course her eyes were closed, but tears were coming out...fresh tears.

"It's only fair that she gets what she deserves for doing this to me." her dad grumbled. I can't hear this anymore. "You know damn well that she doesn't deserve this treatment." I said kneeling down next to her. The guys came behind. "Yeah. Amu is an awesome person. And I knew that before she started to talk!" Kukai exclaimed. "It's absolutely unacceptable for you to do this to such a fragile person like her." Nagihiko said with a cold hard glare.

Kairi looked at him in disgust. "You don't even deserve to walk on this planet. You're worthless in I bet most of this worlds eyes because of what you do." he growled. We all heard police sirens outside. I looked at Nagihiko and he smirked. "Cell phones sure do come in handy don't they?" he asked. Amu's dad flinched back. "You..." was all he growled before the police ran in. The door was already open, because of this bastard.

"Hinamori! Put your hands up! You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence." the policeman said hand cuffing the bastard. He grumbled. I looked at Amu. She her tears were subsiding, and she was completely soaked from the rain outside. "We need to get her home." I said to the guys. They made understanding smiles and I picked her up.


Once we arrived at my house - with the help of the police of course -, I put Amu up in my room. After my parents were done talking to the police, they went to comfort Amu. Utau even came home from Yaya's house to help take care of her. Yaya and Rima wanted to come, but they didn't want to over whelm her. I understood that. The guys stayed too. "She's still knocked out." Kukai said pocking her cheek. Nagihiko scolded him, and Tadase smiled. Kairi was giving a worried expression to her. Utau was sitting on the chair next to me bed, and my parents were in front of the door. My mom was crying of relief, and my dad was hugging her.

I looked at Amu. Her pained expression wasn't visible anymore. I'm glad. I looked at everyone. They all are here for her... I couldn't help but smile. Amu has been alone for so long. She has always thought that no one cared for her. But she was so wrong. She has people that love her and care for her and that would be there in a heart beat for her. She's special...she just doesn't know it yet.

I heard little grumbles and a wince. Amu was waking up. Everyone gathered around her as she sat up in my bed. Her eyes opened, reveal honey. She blinked and looked around. Then she blinked again. After she was done examining the room, her eyes started to fill with tears. "Ikuto..." she whimpered as she grabbed onto me. I looked at her with wide eyes. Her cries were getting louder as the tears poured from her eyes to my shirt. I softened my expression as I put my hand on her head, and sat down next to her.

"It's okay...it's over. He's gone." I reassured. She buried her head farther in my shirt. I held her closer. I looked at everyone gathered, and they had smiles on their faces. I smiled back. We were all glad that Amu didn't have to suffer anymore. "I-Ikuto..." she whimpered. I was only confused on one thing: Why was she crying my name? I'm not against it, in fact I'm totally for it. But...why?

Her crying was growing more silent and she calmed down a bit. Utau gave her a glass of water, and hugged her tight. Amu smiled and hugged her back. Next my parents went over to her and sat down. Amu got up from the bed and hugged them both. I really don't see why anyone would want to treat a girl like Amu the way her dad did.

The guys looked at Amu with smiles. Amu looked at them and walked over. "Thanks guys." she said as she hugged them all at once. Kukai started to wail. "Don't m-mention it!" he cried as he hugged her. Amu giggled as she looked at me. I just gave her a warm smile. She walked over to my and wrapped her arms around my waist. "Thank you so much Ikuto..." she stated quietly. I put my hand on her head and held her close. She's so delicate and fragile. I'm surprised that she didn't break from all the pain she went through.

I'm just glad that she's right here, right now...

...With me.
