Morg: Heyo! The finish line is in sight! I can't believe this story is almost over!

Ikuto: You're going to make Amu cry.

Amu: No she isn't. If this story is over then you and I don't have to have sex anymore.

Morg: You realize this is like the cleanest story I'm writing about you two, except for Club Life.

Amu: Why haven't you updated Club Life? It's my favorite one!

Morg: Because I'm working on my other ones so much. Don't worry I'll get to it this week.

Ikuto: She doesn't own anything.

~Poker Face~

"Tell me."

"Nope."

"Tell me."

"No."

"Tell me."

"No!"

"TELL ME!"

"NO!"

Ikuto stared back and forth between the two girls. Ami was trying once again to get the surprise out of Amu and she wasn't caving in. He sighed and looked at his watch. The other girls would be there any moment to whisk Ami off and clean her up for their trip. Amu's parents were even going to meet them in front of the mall to take pictures.

Right on time the door flew open revealing Ran, Miki and Su. Amu smirked at her baby sister. "Time to get ready."

Ami looked at the four girls. She didn't know what to say. Dia bustled in and began unhooking different machines from her body. "What are you doing?"

Dia ignored the question and then nodded to the other girls when she was done. Amu watched as Ran, Miki and Su attacked Ami. They lifted her off the bed and carried her into the bathroom. Amu smiled at the closed door.

"What are you guys going to do with me?"

"HEY! You don't get to see that! Don't touch me there!"

"AMU!"

Ikuto laughed with Amu as they listened to Ami's pleas for help. They knew that the girls weren't doing anything to hurt her. Ikuto took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze. "Everything is going to work out perfectly today. She'll have a great time."

Amu hugged him. How did this boy always know what to say to her? "I love you."

Ikuto smirked and kissed her hard and fast. The door to the bathroom opened. Ran and Miki were basket carrying Ami between them while Su held the towel on the girl's head. Ami looked clean and pretty in the clothes that Ran had snuck in for her. She'd never really gotten to dress up in a skirt before so they thought it was fitting that she get to now.

Ikuto moved the chair so they could set her down. Su hovered next to her side incase she started to tip over. Miki pulled out a hair dryer and Ran got to work on her make up. Amu sat on Ami's bed and watched the happenings with a smile. Ikuto grabbed a camera and took a couple pictures of all the girls laughing and having a good time.

Dia came back in just as they finished getting Ami ready. "It's time girls. Su go get the chair."

Su nodded and left. Ami was having so much fun she no longer cared what they were going to do with her. Amu was beaming at her and looked so proud that Ami couldn't help but grin back. Then Su walked in pushing a wheel chair. Ikuto scooped Ami up into his arms and set her down in the seat. He kneeled next to her like she was royalty sitting on her throne. He kissed her hand and then her cheek. "My lady, today your brave knight and the fair ladies of the court will accompany you to a dangerous and most daring place."

Ami giggled as she stared down at a serious looking Ikuto. "You are too kind my brave knight."

Ikuto wagged his eyebrows at her before hopping to his feet and spinning her chair so she faced the door. "It is time for your adventure to start my lady."

Amu and the other girls laughed as Ikuto proudly pushed Ami out of the room. Dia made sure to grab everything they might need as they headed for the elevators. The other nurses in the hospital were cheering and squealing as Ami went by. She beamed at them all and waved like a true princess.

The elevator ride down to the parking garage was short and Amu was thankful for that considering they all piled into the same elevator. Dia rented one of the vans for the day from the hospital so that Ami could travel in her wheel chair.

After she was strapped in, all the other girls and Ikuto piled in after her. Dia jumped into the driver's seat and started the engine. Ami squealed as they left the hospital grounds. Amu held her hand as they stared out the window together.

"OH MY GOD! WE ARE NOT GOING TO THE MALL!"

The girls all laughed and Ikuto playfully slapped her arm. "Don't make them sad about their choice! I told you it was dangerous."

Ami was in tears as they unloaded her from the van and pushed her towards the entrance. "How is going to the mall dangerous?"

Ikuto smirked and patted his back pocket where is billfold sat. "It's dangerous for a man with money."

Ami laughed with him as Amu scowled. "Who says we're spending your money?"

Ikuto only smiled in return.

"MY SPARROWS ARE FLYING TOGETHER!"

Ami and Amu sweat dropped as their father sprinted to them while taking pictures. They smiled and laughed and posed. Ikuto was dragged into a couple of them. In one he was sitting sideways on Ami's lap and kissing her cheek while Amu kissed the other one while bending down.

"Oh Ami you look so beautiful!"

Ami smiled at her mother and a couple of tears escaped her eyes. "Mama!"

Miki and Ran exchanged a couple of looks before they suddenly cheered. "We're at the mall so let's shop!"

Ikuto took control of the wheel chair again after Ami said goodbye to her parents. She took a couple of pictures with them before being whisked off into the building. Dia and Amu followed. "Do you think everything will be okay? I mean she's going to be off those machines for a while."

Dia nodded. "Don't worry. I brought the medication she needs. As long as we get her back to the hospital tonight, she'll be fine."

Amu nodded and decided to have fun rather than worry. She jumped onto Ami's lap and demanded that Ikuto push them around the mall. Ikuto smiled before bowing low to both girls. "Your wish is my command."

It would have been perfect if he hadn't been smirking. Amu looked around and pointed to a couple of stores that she wouldn't mind checking out. Ami agreed so they went in them. Later on they met up with the sisters. Dia had been following Ami at a distance to keep an eye on her but not interfere with her day.

Everything was going great until they all headed for the food court. Ami and Amu were talking happily until Ikuto stopped, causing both girls to jerk a little in the chair. Amu glared up at him and was about to say something when she noticed he was already glaring at someone across the room. She followed his gaze and her eyes hardened instantly.

Ami didn't know what was going on as Amu moved to get off her lap. She grabbed her sister's hand. "Amu what's going on?"

Amu looked down at Ami and smiled evilly. "Tadase."

Ami's eyes widened as she caught sight of the blond boy. He was hanging out with a couple other boys and a few girls. One girl kept leaning over so that Tadase could see down her shirt. He made a point to look every time.

Ami heard Ikuto growl a little. She grabbed his hand in one of hers and Amu's with the other. "Come on guys! I don't want him to ruin my day! We were going to get ice cream!"

Amu nodded in defeat but glanced over to see Ikuto still glaring at the girly boy. "Come on Ikuto. Today is about Ami, not that loser."

Ikuto finally nodded and pushed Ami up to the counter to buy them ice cream while Amu filled Ran, Dia, Miki and Su in about what happened between Ami and Tadase. All four girls suddenly got a murderous gleam in their eyes that proved that they were definitely related. "He's a dead man."

Amu was creeped out by their looks, but when they said those words together in perfect unison with matching tones she thought they were evil incarnate. "Ami doesn't want us to do a thing about it today since this is supposed to be a trip all about her."

The girls nodded without taking their glares away from the blond boy. As far as they were concerned he could be hunted down and slaughtered later.

Tadase finally seemed to realize that a large group of people were sending a murderous aura his way. He glanced around him to find Amu standing with several other girls, including Ami's nurse. He was puzzled for only a moment when his eyes caught sight of Ikuto pushing Ami in a wheel chair. Tadase knew Ami well enough to know that she was never allowed outside of the hospital.

The girl he was with saw him looking away from her so she decided to see what he was looking at as well. Her eyes saw six hot girls with one extremely hot guy. She looked back at Tadase then over at the other guy. Tadase was nothing compared to him. "Who are they?"

Tadase turned back to the girl with a smile. "I used to date the one of the far left with the pink hair. The one in the wheel chair is her younger sister. The man pushing the wheel chair is her new boyfriend and the other girls I don't know, except one of them is a nurse to the girl in the wheel chair."

The girl didn't let the news that this hottie bo bottie was taken. She could steal any man she wanted and she wanted him. "I see. Why don't you introduce us?"

Tadase rubbed the back of his head nervously. "I can't do that Saaya. I sort of had a falling out with them earlier this week. I'm pretty sure they all want to kick the crap out of me."

Saaya rolled her eyes. She got to her feet and dragged him over to where the other group was trying to decide where to sit. "Hey there."

Amu immediately noticed that the greeting was pointed to Ikuto only. She felt herself heating up but not in a blush. She was going to kill this slut and it didn't help that said girl was arm in arm with Tadase. "Hello."

Ikuto winched at the sound of Amu's voice. It was clear that she was hiding behind her mask again since it was completely emotionless. He gripped the handles of Ami's chair tighter before sending a look over to his girlfriend.

Dia and her sisters immediately stepped forwards. "I'm sorry but we can't let just anyone get too close to Ami. She's in a delicate situation. It took a lot of begging for her to be allowed out of the hospital. We don't want her to catch any dieses or anything."

Amu smirked at Dia's comment. She knew it was a mean comment and the girl took it as an insult. "Ikuto-koi let's go find a place to eat our ice cream before it melts."

Ikuto nodded and pushed Ami after Amu as she led the way to a large booth. Ami's chair was pushed up to the end so she was sitting at the table as well. Ran, Miki and Su slid in first with Amu and Ikuto right behind them. Dia sat on one edge and Amu on the other. They helped Ami get situated before they started eating.

The girl from before didn't let them walk away so easily. "Tadase-kun was telling me that you guys used to be friends but had a falling out. I don't blame him for ending the friendship."

Ikuto supposed that that comment was to get back at Dia for the dieses comment but it didn't work. Ami blushed but Amu smirked. God did he love his pinkette. "It's funny that you think he broke it off. Ami kicked him out of her room after he basically tried to rape her. She stuck in a fucking hospital bed. How low can a boy get?"

Tadase blushed hard. "That isn't what happened at all! I simply tried to kiss her. She pushed me away and I left. There was no raping involved."

Saaya shoved Tadase a little to make him shut up. "I don't Tadase would try anything with this broken girl when he's got a fully operational girl like me that knows how to push his buttons."

Ikuto snorted into his ice cream. Amu patted him on the back and he turned it into a cough. He looked up at the girl smugly looking down at them all. "Thank God that you're my girlfriend."

Amu laughed and turned to face him completely. "Why do you say that Ikuto-koi."

Ikuto put on a display of rubbing their noses together before giving her a light kiss. "Because if I was single I might have to deal with that slutty bitch hitting on me."

All of the other girls burst out laughing. Saaya turned bright red before storming away. Tadase watched her go before he turned back to the still laughing group. He waited until they calmed down. "I'm really sorry about her. I wanted to leave you guys to your day since you looked like you were having a great time, but she demanded that I introduce her. I'm really sorry about what happened and I know you won't forgive me so easily so have a great day."

They stared after him silently as he walked away. Amu knew that he wasn't really a bad person and jealousy can make anyone do something stupid that they'll regret, but he was right. She wasn't going to forgive him. They finished their ice cream while talking about nothing in particular.

Ami wanted to go to a few more stores until it was time to go so Ikuto complied. He pushed her along the store fronts with Amu once again in her lap. He started running and both girls squealed with delight. They laughed until they came upon a fountain with benches around it. On one of the benches sat Tadase. The girl from earlier was straddling his lap and they were making out. His hands were no where to be seen.

Ami blushed and poked Amu. She pointed out the couple and Amu looked up at Ikuto to see that he'd already spotted them. He turned the chair around and began pushing the chair out of the area when a pair of arms snaked around his chest.

Amu looked up again when the chair stopped to see that girl touching her Ikuto. She was off Ami's lap in a flash. "WHAT THE FUCK BITCH!"

The girl smirked at Amu over Ikuto's shoulder. He looked completely uncomfortable but refused to let go of Ami's chair. He stared directly into Amu's eyes and she knew that he didn't like the situation one bit especially with the past that he has.

Saaya kept her arms around the hottie and made sure to press her chest up against his back. She was glad that she heard Tadase say something about them as they were leaving so she'd have her chance. "You should come play with me for a while."

Amu didn't wait she took a step forwards, but Ami grabbed her hand. "What's going on?"

Amu looked down at her sister. "That girl from earlier is molesting Ikuto."

Ami gasped and did her best to turn around in her chair. "You better let go of my brother before my sister kicks your ass."

Saaya glared down at the little girl in the chair. "Such big words for a weak girl like you. You too lazy to walk or something."

The next thing that happened was too crazy for Amu to completely comprehend. The girl clutching on to Ikuto was ripped off of him and thrown to the ground. What was even more confusing was the fact that Su had been the one to remove her. "Don't you touch my friends desu!"

The girl looked up from the ground at the green loving girl. "What the hell! Go find your own man!"

Su was about to attack again when Ran and Miki grabbed her. "Sorry about that Amu-chan. I'm sure you wanted to be the one to attack. Su-chan can get pretty angry when provoked."

Miki nodded as the dragged Su back a couple of steps. "All that sewing she does is for stress relief. Making things soothes her. Most people have no idea that she can have a horrible temper."

Amu closed her mouth and nodded. She moved to Ikuto and put her hand against his cheek. "Are you okay?"

Ikuto nodded. He let go of one of Ami's handlebars to hug Amu to his chest. He buried his nose into her hair and banished the memories that had surfaced to the top of his mind. He was with Amu now. They had each other. He wasn't going to be alone ever again. "Let's go."

Ami reached up and held Ikuto's hand as he pushed her back towards the front of the mall. Dia and the others followed right behind them. Amu was still tucked under his arm so he was only pushing Ami with one hand.

Tadase watched the whole thing go down. He was disgusted with Saaya for her behavior and promptly walked away with the command that she never call him again. Saaya sat on the ground while people continued to stare at her. Suddenly she burst into tears and ran out of the mall.

Ikuto bought Ami some jewelry and they even got Amu's belly button pierced. She'd been really embarrassed about it, but Ikuto convinced her rather quickly that it was very sexy. She held up her shirt and turned away as the girl used the gun to slide the ring through her skin.

Amu stared out the window and saw Tadase standing there watching her with his mouth open. Amu blushed and turned back to look at Ikuto, who was holding her hand. She motioned towards the window and watched his gaze harden right when the gun clicked home. Amu gripped his hand until the pain faded. It was a good thing too or Ikuto would have been out the door and kicking the crap out of the peeping tom.

Amu and Ami left with Ikuto and headed for the front doors to go back to the hospital. Their time was up and Ami needed to get back on her regulating machines. Dia had given her the right amount of medications at the right times so she was feeling pretty good, but her energy was being sapped up fast. She caught herself dozing in her chair.

Amu walked next to her now. She kept her eyes on Ami's face to see how she was doing. It was obvious that she was tired. "I guess we should get you back so you can take a nap."

Ami nodded while yawning. Amu just smiled and motioned for Ikuto to go a little faster. They met Dia at the vans. Miki, Ran, and Su were already inside. They put Ami in and climbed in after her to head back to the hospital. Everyone was exhausted by the events of the day.

Ami was sleeping soundly in the bed back in her hospital room. Ikuto and Amu stood outside her room. His arm was around her shoulders and hers was around his waist. Her head was leaning against him and his against hers. They stood holding each other wile watching Ami sleep.

Amu was the first to break the silence with a sigh. "I don't want this summer to end."

Ikuto nodded without moving his head from against hers. He knew exactly what she meant. "The girls are heading back this weekend and then we only have another week before we have to go too."

Amu let a few tears escape from her eyes. She didn't move to wipe them away. "Why do I get the feeling that this is the last summer I have with her?"

Ikuto knew what she meant. He'd only just met Ami a few weeks ago, but the same feeling was inside of him. Something was telling him that Ami didn't have much time left. "She's going to be okay no matter what."

Amu nodded as he turned her to face his chest. He knew that she was crying. Amu sobbed into his shirt while Ikuto just held her.

"See you in a week Amu-chan!"

"Yeah see ya guys."

"A new school year desu! I can't believe that summer is almost over desu!"

Amu nodded to the three girls and left with Ikuto so they could say their goodbyes to Ami. She couldn't believe that the rest of the week had passed so quickly. They'd had fun playing games in the hospital and had had a big sleep over in Ami's room as well. Ami loved them all and cried as they said their goodbyes.

Amu and Ikuto walked them to the front doors where they said goodbye to Dia and piled in a car. Miki was driving and they honked and waved until they were out of sight.

Amu turned back to Ikuto and smiled. "I had a lot of fun with them here, but I'm glad that you and I can spend more alone time with Ami now."

Ikuto nodded and kissed the top of her head as they went back inside.

XXX

"I don't want to go back to school! I want to stay here with my Ami!"

Ami giggled as Amu hugged her. She and Ikuto had to head back to school that day since classes started in the morning. Amu had already said goodbye to her parents and Ikuto's car was packed and ready to go.

Ikuto laughed before he climbed up onto the bed and hugged Ami like Amu was on her other side. "I don't want to leave Ami either."

Dia sighed from the doorway. "I'm going to call security and have you two kicked out if you don't hurry up and get on the road. Ami needs her rest you know."

Amu and Ikuto both laughed before they squeezed the girl between them extra hard. "We love you." They whispered before kissing her on her cheeks.

Ami blushed as she pushed them off of her. "Get out of here you love birds! Go find somewhere else to build your nest."

Amu groaned but leaned down to give her sister a real hug. "Don't talk like that. You sound just like papa."

Ami giggled as she hugged Ikuto. "You do anything to mess with my sister and I'll kick your ass."

Ikuto smirked before putting his arm around Amu. "Don't be a spoiled sport just because you can't beat me at poker."

Ami growled and Ikuto took that as his cue to push him and Amu out the door. They called their goodbyes and left. Amu cried most of her way back to school, never letting go of Ikuto's hand.

.

Morg: Tear.

Ikuto: I thought I was going to kick Tadase's ass! Instead I got molested!

Amu: Yeah! Wait! No!
