Oh nooo I updated late again Dx Sorry for the weekly updates. I wish I could do them sooner, but life just got really busy it seems!

Anyways, here's chapter 11! It isn't much, but please do enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara or any of the characters!

My head is spinning for two reasons; I'm being haunted by a ghost and because I'm trying my best to figure out what I could have done to deserve this. No, who I could have murdered. That guy who sold me the bracelet said usually he's told to sell those things to people who have murdered someone. But me, murder someone? I would never, ever think about doing that in my life!

My head hurts from all the effort. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to suffer over something I can't remember, possibly something I didn't even do!

I hear a crash and I shut my eyes. Go away.. go away… Please, just leave me alone. I didn't do anything, I swear!

Suddenly, an image pops into my head:

I'm around 5 years old, and I'm wearing a cute white dress because my mom is hosting a party. I remember my grandparents coming over, but I don't remember seeing my grandpa anywhere. After a while of strolling around the mingling people bored, I walk into the living room to find my grandpa lying on the couch sleeping. He's got his cap over his eyes and his mouth is partially open, allowing a few snores to escape every once and a while. I look over to the table next to the couch and see 7 small attached boxes on it. The first box has a "S" on it, the next a "M" then a "T," "W," "TH," "F," and finally a "SA" on the last one. I look at the boxes, confused, then walk over to them.

I gasp at the sudden memory, but I don't allow Ikuto(who is sitting on the couch across from me) to notice. I stare at my lap and recall the image I just saw. Yeah, that was probably a memory, but why'd I just remember it? And what happened after that? Were those boxes pill boxes for each day of the week? I can't remember what day of the week that party when I was 5 was, but I somehow feel like that memory is important.

Another loud crash brings me back to reality. I begin to remember the situation that I'm in and my heart instantly sinks. I'm being haunted by something paranormal.

Why does this ghost want me dead so bad? And why can't I have my family back? Why can't Ami get better and why do I have to have so much bad luck?

…More importantly, why hasn't the ghost taken Ikuto away?

So far, everyone closest to me has died or gotten seriously injured except Ikuto. Maybe it only takes away family members? That's an odd rule for death. Why would a ghost stop after the family when it's trying to get me to kill myself?

I absolutely do not want Ikuto to get hurt. Ever. Maybe this ghost is waiting for the right time to get him. If that happens, the ghost will definitely get it's wish to have me dead. Even if I die, I don't want Ikuto to die too! It's not fair! I have already admitted to myself that I have a crush on Ikuto. I can't lie, especially to myself, and I don't want Ikuto to die because of me! Not ever! If someone were to die, it should be me and not him.

"Ikuto..," I mumble as I look up from my spot on the couch to the blue-haired teenager, who is sitting on the other couch facing me.

After another loud noise is heard, Ikuto answers, "What?"

"Maybe….Maybe I should die before it's too late."

Ikuto stands and stares at me, an intense look in his eyes, "No."

"What?"

"No. Absolutely not."

"But Ikuto, it would be saf-"

"I said no!" he says and I stare at him, a look of shock played across my face. Ikuto looks at me for a little bit longer, then sits back down as if nothing had happened.

I look across the room at Ikuto, then feel a pain in my chest along with guilt running through my veins. Everything that has happened and everything that will happen is all going to be my fault! Everything is my fault, and all because I bought some bracelet at a festival. No, all because I murdered somebody. I feel innocent, but with my luck, I'm probably guilty of murder, even if I can't remember it.

I take a deep breath and stand up. Ikuto looks at me and I mumble, "Bathroom," before heading out of the room and down the hall. A loud noise from inside the hall makes me jump, but I quickly continue walking until I reach the bathroom. I walk in and lock the door behind me, turning on the lights.

Ikuto, please try to understand. I'm doing this for you. I want you to be safe. I have to do this before you get hurt because of me.

I stare into the mirror and open the cabinet. I grab the first jar I see and stare at the label. They're the same kind of pills my mother swallowed and died because of… I examine the orange bottle and my head starts pounding. I can't do it. I just can't.

But I have to.

I close my eyes and take another deep breath. Stay strong and kill yourself. That's all I'm trying to think of right now.

I open the lid with a bit of difficulty due to the hard-to-open sealing, then stare into the bottle at the white capsules. I pour them out into my hand and just look at them. I count 24 in all and shut my eyes tight before pouring 3 in my mouth first, then another as tears roll down my cheeks slowly…

I don't want to do this, but I have to. I'm sorry mom, dad, Ami, Ikuto… Please forgive the huge mistake I made, whatever it was. Please forgive me.

~Chapter End~

DO NOT WORRY EVERYONE, IT ISN'T OVER YET! More chapter(s) to come(I can't decide whether there should be just one more or multiple, but it will most likely be multiple).

I'm sorry this chapter's so short! Ahh, everything's tough when you're busy. I still haven't done my homework for tomorrow… I probably should get on that..

Anyways, it's getting pretty intense now! I just feel so bad for Amu. I would have written more for this chapter, but I felt like this was a good place to stop at. You know, to keep the suspense going and all. xD

I'm so happy that everyone is enjoying this story and leaving such wonderful and kind reviews! You guys make my day. No- my life. Thank you all so much! I would absolutely love it if you left a review for this chapter. I know it's short, but please tell me what you think(as if you guys don't already! You are all truly amazing and I love you).

Arigato gozaimasu!
