The Silent Violin
Chapter 14: up and down
(Ikuto pov)
I was having a silly but wonderful dream about me chasing Amu then tackling her to the ground and cuddling her.
(Outside pov)
As Ikuto laid there dreaming he smiled and even giggled. Nagi, Tadase, and Yoru made sure they caught in on their phones while smirking obviously they could not let him live this down. After that though they hated the idea they went on to cook breakfast and clean up.
(Kukai pov)
It wasn't until breakfast was nearly ready that Ikuto finally got his lazy ass up. When he did every one acted as normal as they could (I say could because every time he walked out of the room they flipped him off or glared behind his back). I shook my head at how childish this was turning out to be but kept that thought to myself. As soon as Ikuto walked back into the kitchen I signaled him to me.
"Hey I need you to come with me to go get some orange juice. It's her favorite and might help her feel a bit better." I ignored his (I don't want to) look and dragged him to the shoe rack. Luckily he knew not to argue and did as told and we were out the door.
It wasn't until we were on our way back that I paused and turned around to stare him down. I was just about to lay my speech down on him when he spoke first. "Kukai I know you think I am not good enough for her. Hell I agree with you but I plan to treat her right and I really care I won't let even you stop me."
I chewed his words over for a second and then I punched him. Not because I didn't trust him or didn't think he was good enough for her. I had heard the earnest ring in his voice and saw he really felt that by the look in his eyes. I punched him just because I felt I had to especially after he took away my chance to give the big brother speech.
He sat there rubbing his jaw and glaring at me. I sighed offered him my hand to help him up and smiled. "You're one crazy bastard you know that right?" He said while taking my hand and brushing himself off as soon as he was standing up right.
"Yeah, well I couldn't let you off that easy. After all you're lucky I didn't just let those three kill you this morning." I smirked as I said it and saw he was obviously still not used to me being me. "Yeah well not to be mean I can't really feel bad because I care for her enough that even if I lose Nagi I can't give her up." He said once again serious, to be honest on many levels I would it be Nagi but I would keep that to myself.
(Ikuto)
When we got back Amu was up and everyone was laughing at some joke that was most likely lame. However every one stopped to stare at my jaw which most likely would be bruised if it wasn't already. "Wow what happened to your face Ikuto?" Nagi asked even though it was clear he knew and was enjoying it by the look on his face.
Amu ran off to the kitchen coming back a second later with a cloth filled with ice. She gently held it to my jaw and despite the slight sting I didn't flinch or move. I ignored the urge to stick my tongue out at the three boys who were obviously jealous. "I fell" I smirked at them as Amu gently looked my jaw over which caused three sets of glaring eyes.
However as soon as Amu went to shower and change they got their revenge poking my bruised jaw every second they got. By the tenth time I blocked them. I had let it continue because hey I'd do the same if it were me in their shoes and maybe worse. After Amu was out we finally all gathered and went over the plan.
(Yoru pov)
None of this sat well with me but I kept quiet there was more important things to do. We had to go meet Miki and all them and still figure out how to stop Amu's father. It would be hard on her. The thoughts of my own father came back to me and I was left remembering the image of him as he died. I tried to focus on other things like the task at hand but it would be there in the back of my mind forever.
I finished explaining everything it would have been faster to just use magic but it was not exactly safe for humans a number of things could go wrong. Tadase was to go ahead to deliver the news to Miki and then meet us when he was done. I had to gather a few things before we went to the underground office.
(Miki pov)
I anxiously waited for some word from Yoru. Everyone was frustrated after all I had rushed them all here and I had no answer or a reason to give them. One thing was clear something big had happened and it was ugly from the tone in Yoru's voice. The room was loud with nervous chatter.
I turned my attention to Rima who seemed particularly angry and though she was small and adorable I knew she was also powerful and ruthless. She seemed very annoyed especially with the chattering and I knew if I didn't do something quick she would blow. Sighing I took a deep breath before yelling "quiet!" as loud as I possibly could. Thank god every one listened.
I was just about to try to once again relay what Yoru had told me when I was interrupted by Tadase as he flashed in he landed right on top of me. I pushed as hard as I could and he fell off. Standing up about to yell at the idiot I was stopped before I even started. "I have a message from Yoru."
(Tsumugu pov)
I walked down the halls headed towards the door at the end. Opening it carefully I stepped in once I declared it safe. "Ami I have news." I walked towards the bed where my little angel laid and carefully brushed the hair of her glistening face.
She wouldn't answer because she was a vegetable but she wouldn't be soon enough. Taking her hand I told her about her the evils Amu had done and how she had no need to fret. Soon enough Amu would be gone and Ami would wake up. I shook with anger just the thought of that damn abomination made me want to kill.
I kissed my little angels forehead and went off to finish the machine that would assist me in reviving Ami.
So I appologize for being gone so long and I thank all of you who have been and do read my stories.
