Morg: Heyo! Time for the awesomeness that is this story!

Ikuto: Maybe if you didn't take forever…

Amu: Yeah! This story!

Morg: I'm sorry. I thought, you know, updating one of my sixteen other fics was probably a good idea.

Ikuto: Maybe some of them, but there are a few that I could do without.

Amu: Okay! Enough! Morg doesn't own us; we don't want to be here. Get on with the chapter!

~Overprotective~

"When we get there, you better be ready to run. I'm only dropping you off. They can't see me or they'll know that I'm trying to get to Nagi. Do. NOT. Get. Captured. Got that?"

Kukai and Utau stared at the pinkette with determination setting their eyes ablaze. Despite having no idea where they were actually supposed to be going, each one knew for a fact that they were going to win.

"What about us, Amu?"

Amu smirked as she turned to Rima and Ikuto. "Do not let go of me when we get there. It is illegal to transport between rooms in Heaven, but I figure since I'm breaking the rules to get you there, I might as well break the rules about how we travel once we get there. There is one more thing you should know, if a human remains in Heaven too long, they cannot leave."

Ikuto stared hard at his pinkette. She was avoiding his eyes while they got ready to leave in the forest. Kukai and Utau had their shoes tied and ready for action. Rima had her hair pulled back so she could be ready for action. Ikuto finally caught the pinkette's eye and gave her a hard look. "So we'll die."

The other three froze as they waited for Amu's response. "Yes, but I've already made precautions to make sure that that doesn't happen."

Ikuto nodded. "Yaya and Kairi. I was wondering what their role in all of this would be."

Amu smiled briefly before taking Kukai's hand and Utau's hand. "I have to be touching you for you to come with me. If you let go midflight, you'll die. Rima, I'm going to need you to hug me from the front. Ikuto, hold onto me from behind."

The smirk on Ikuto's face couldn't possibly get bigger as he stepped forwards to wrap his arms around Amu's body from behind. Rima gripped her from the front and the hold that Kukai and Utau had on her hands tightened. "Alright guys, here we go."

Nagi stared at the wall of his rooms. Nothing changed. Nothing ever changed. It was the same damn wall that he was going to be staring at day after day until the woman that he loved died. There was also nothing he could do about it. Leaving would get him permanently kicked out of Heaven, and the purple haired angel didn't want that. There were people that he could help if they'd let him go somewhere else on earth.

Tadase smirked at the sad angel from across the room. Nagi still refused to speak to the blond angel but that didn't mean that Tadase was above forcing his presence on the lower ranking man. "I say you should just tell the council that you were mistaken about your feelings and move on. Humans are useless creatures anyways. They can't do anything. I saw we close off Heaven and let them all die out, then we can move to earth and love it like they can't."

There was no point in Nagi responding. Tadase was going to say whatever he wanted and there was nothing the lesser angel could do about it. He had to sit there and listen or it would only get worse for him. If only he could see her one more time.

Sirens stared going off and several emergency lights began flashing. Tadase shot to his feet before running for the door. "Stay here like a good boy, Nagihiko. I'll see what the trouble is."

"Humans in Heaven! THERE ARE HUMANS IN HEAVEN!"

XXX

The room was white and bright as Kukai and Utau instantly took off for the door that was in front of them. Several angels jumped out of the way. "Hey! Get your wings out!"

Kukai spun and stuck out his tongue while pulling the skin down below one of his eyes. "Sorry! Don't have them! PURE HUMAN, BABY! PURE HUMAN! LET'S BOOK IT, HOSHINA!"

"I'M ALREADY WINNING, SOUMA!"

Tadase made it to the large hall to see the two humans sprinting right for him. They looked familiar but he couldn't quite place them. Standing in their way, he held up his hand in a commanding stance. "Stop!" The blonde waited for the two humans to halt or even slow down but it didn't happen. They continued at him with full speed. "I said stop! Stop! STOP!"

The blond would have continued to yell at the two humans if Utau hadn't recognized him and raised her arm at the last moment to catch his throat as she sprinted past him, causing the angel to be thrown backwards so hard that he landed on his back on the floor. He couldn't speak now that his neck hurt so badly. The blonde that had hit him, hadn't even slowed down because of the blow. The last sounds that reached his ears as the two faded from his blurry sight was the boy yelling at the girl.

"NICE SHOT, HOSHINA! I HATE THAT PRICK!"

XXX

Amu tapped Rima's shoulder to signal that the girl could let her go now that they were safely in her chambers. Kukai and Utau were definitely making quite the commotion now that all the sirens and alarms were going off. The three could hear angels sprinting around outside the door to her rooms, shouting commands at each other in their panic to find the humans.

Ikuto smirked when he realized that while Amu had made Rima let her go, she hadn't stepped out of his arms yet. "So this is your place? I like it. Nice bed."

Amu's face turned redder faster than an albino in the sun. "Now isn't the time, Ikuto! Let me go you pervert!"

Ikuto sighed as he released his grip on the love of his life. "It's never the time. What's up next?"

Amu smiled as she turned to Rima. "You have to go get Nagi and bring him here while Ikuto and I make a little pit stop over at Tadase's rooms."

Rima nodded and began the journey that Amu had gone over with her several times. She found the door that she thought was the right one and knocked. "Nagi? Please answer the door."

There was silence for a few minutes before hurried footsteps threw the door open. A ragged looking Nagi stood, gripping the door frame to keep him on his feet, staring down at the one girl that he wanted to hold so badly but knew he was never going to see again. Tears sprang to his eyes as he did his best to hold himself back. "R-rima?"

XXX

"THIS WAY!"

Utau and Kukai happened to scream the same thing at the same time as they took off down different corridors. Utau glanced back to see her boyfriend disappearing from sight. The thought to turn around and catch him never crossed her mind. Now it was a real race. "Let the best woman win, Kukai."

XXX

"So why do we have to go see Tadase? I'd rather avoid him at all costs."

Amu smirked as she closed the distance between her and Ikuto. "I need him to see something with his own eyes or else he will never understand."

Ikuto wasn't sure what she was getting at but he wasn't about to complain about the proximity of her body to his as she wrapped her arms around his back and pulled herself up close to him. Her pink wings encircled them, blocking out the rest of everything. In that one moment, there was no Heaven or earth, no human or angel, no rules separating them. There was just Amu and Ikuto. Two beings that were meant to be together for ever, holding one another until Amu transported them from her rooms to Tadase's.

Releasing Ikuto while pulling her wings behind her, Amu pinched her nose with one hand and put her fingers to her throat with the other. A nasally high voice filled the air of every room in Heaven. "Hotori Tadase, Hotori Tadase. Your room has been breached by humans. Hotori Tadase, report to your chambers."

Thirty seconds the doors were thrown open, revealing the angel that started all the problems for everyone. Hotori Tadase stood out of breath and clutching his hurting neck. "What-"

The sight that met his eyes not only surprised the high ranking angel, but Ikuto as well. Amu had pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss.

XXX

Utau was only slightly concerned about where Kukai was as she took another random turn down the hallways, trying her best to find the Council Room before her significant other. She was more concerned for herself considering she had no idea where she was going.

Voices reached her ears and Utau almost turned the corner to get away from them until she understood what they were saying. "You cannot be in here, human. Stop your struggling."

Slowly down just a little, Utau rounded a corner to see Kukai with his arm in some angel's grasp as she tried to pull him down the hall. No one, angel or human, touched her boyfriend. Utau sped back up to run straight for the offending angel. With stealth that she didn't know she had, Utau approached the two beings. A running jump sent her flying through the air so that her fist could collide with the taller angel and knock her off her feet.

Kukai stared at the heap of arms, legs and wings on the floor before staring after his girlfriend as she continued on her way. "THANKS BABE!"

XXX

Rima didn't have the time she wanted to explain to Nagi what she was doing there. "I need you to trust me and come with me. Amu brought me here."

Nagi nodded and took her hand without ever looking back. He and Rima quickly made their way back down the halls to where Amu's room was located. After shutting the door behind them, the newly reunited couple turned around to find a blushing pinkette and a stunned yet smirking Ikuto. "Do we want to know?"

Amu only shook her head no.

XXX

Great, now she had lost for sure. Utau was currently sitting with her hands tied behind her back and her back resting against a wall with two male angels standing over her.

"I guess I know why Nagihiko fell for a human chick. This girl is hot!"

"Yeah she is! Do you think we can have some fun with her before we send her back to earth?"

Utau wanted to puke. First of all, she had Kukai. Second of all, whoever said that all angels were good looking was sadly mistaken. "You two don't stand a chance with me. Just let me go and I'll be on my way."

The first one bent down to her level to smirk in her face. "We'll see."

He never did manage to stand back up, considering that Kukai's knee connected with his face right in front of Utau's eyes. "Sorry boys, she's mine. Find your own hottie."

The other angel was already incapacitated. No wonder he hadn't sounded an alert. "How did you manage to sneak up so quietly?"

"I wasn't quiet at all. They were just too distracted by your good looks."

Utau blushed hard as she managed to get to her feet. "Untie me please?"

Kukai smirked as he leaned in to steal a kiss. "I just needed one without you being able to slap me for it."

If her face was red before then it didn't compare to the color on her cheeks now. "I wouldn't have slapped you." The moment her arms were released, Utau wrapped them around her savior. "I would have done this."

Kukai could only kiss her back as her lips crushed his.

XXX

"Can I tell anyone?"

"No."

"What if someone asks me about it?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No! Stop asking!"

"But you will admit that it happened, right?"

"No."

"Amu, you did do it. You do realize that, right? I wasn't the one that wanted to make sure that Tadase saw us-"

"Ikuto! One more word and you're dead!"

Nagi and Rima could only guess at what they were talking about.

XXX

Tadase got over his shock and raced out of the door to his rooms. So Amu was the one behind the breach. That meant she was there to collect Nagihiko. Tadase took off towards the sappy angel's rooms. They were not about to get away with any of it.

XXX

"I won, Hoshina. You got captured."

"Only because I made it to the Council Room!"

"I still won! You have to make it there and back WITHOUT being captured!"

"But you didn't even make it that far! So it's a tie!"

"Not on your life!"

"Do you even know where you are going?"

"Of course I do! I have an amazing sense of direction."

"Then why have we ran down this hallway twice?"

"Heaven must be a bit backwards…"

XXX
His rooms were empty! EMPTY! Damn that pinkette! When Tadase got a hold of her, he was going to teach her a lesson that she'd never forget. The furious blond angel made his way to the transportation room. There was no way that she was going to make it out of Heaven safely if she didn't use that room. He could still catch her.

Tadase rounded a corner to see the two humans that had practically ran him over earlier in the day, enter the transportation room while bickering with one another. He hurried to the door to find Amu, Utau, Kukai, Nagi, Rima and Ikuto getting ready to leave. No way in hell! "Hinamori Amu. You have some explaining to do."

Amu looked up from where she was fiddling with the controls in the room to make it safe for them to leave. Her face darkened when she realized who had called out her name. A bright flash lit up the room, revealing Yaya and Kairi. They stood on the panels and motioned for their human friends to hurry over to them. "We have to get you out of here!"

Amu motioned for them all to head towards the two waiting angels. "They're right! Hurry!"

Ikuto stopped when he realized that Amu had only crossed part of the way towards them. "Come on, Amu!"

The pinkette sent the blue haired teen an apologetic look. "I can't go with you right now. I'll follow though."

Ikuto didn't believe a word of it. "You are a horrible liar! Tell me right now that you don't love me!"

She couldn't do it and mean the words that came out of her mouth. "I don't love you."

Ikuto smirked before closing the distance between them to kiss her hard and fast. "I don't believe you."

Nagi and Rima seized one of his arms while Kukai and Utau grabbed his other. They dragged him away from Amu as she turned her back on him and pinched her fingers in the air to pull out her sword.

Ikuto screamed her name until they were gone. Tadase smirked as he stepped forwards. Snapping his fingers, two short knives appeared in his hands. "If I win, you're mine."

Amu knew before he made that statement that she was going to have to fight with everything in her to get rid of the angel before her. Now she had no choice but to win.

.

Morg: I know that you hate me for stopping there, but the fight scene was always intended for the next chapter.

Ikuto: Amu loves me!

Amu: Do not!

Ikuto: You admitted it!

Amu: I clearly stated that I didn't love you!

Ikuto: Which means that you do!

Morg: And review because I'm leaving.

Amu: I do not!
