Morg: Heyo! So I'm really sorry about not updating for a while. I broke my knuckle and my laptop was taken away.

Ikuto: That's what you get for trying to write anyways.

Amu: Should've taken a break and got better faster.

Morg: Whatever! I'm good now so I'll be updating more! Please understand though that I am still recovering. Updates will be just a little slow.

Ikuto: I understand nothing.

Amu: We don't have to understand anything since you don't own us.

~Overprotective~

Standing in the middle of a rundown street somewhere in Europe, Utau didn't let go of Amu's hand. Not because she was afraid or something like that, but because there must have been some mistake. There was no way that Tsukasa was living in such a rundown area like the one that they were in. "I thought we were going to Tsukasa?"

"We are already here. I'm not rude enough to just transport straight into his shield. He's going to let us in."

Utau just shook her head as she let go of Amu's hand. Kukai's stayed firmly in hers though.

Ikuto could only smirk as he kept his arm around Amu's shoulders. His little sister had much to remember about his lover. Amu would never mistake where Tsukasa was.

Tsukasa. I know that you know that we are here and waiting for you. What's taking so long?

"Wait… Isn't Tsukasa married? Didn't he say that he was going to Europe to be with his wife? Won't we get to meet her?"

Utau turned to her husband with a grin that matched his. They were going to meet his wife. Things could get interesting.

Just a moment please, Amu. I'll let you in if you wait a moment.

Amu sighed before leaning further into Ikuto. Tsukasa would always be Tsukasa. What Amu wasn't prepared for was the sudden feeling of an angel coming. Not just any angel, one accompanied by a joint human. Suddenly, she turned to Ikuto with a grin before hugging him tight and turning to face the exact spot that Nagi and Rima appeared in seconds later.

"Amu!"

"Rima! Nagi!"

"Ikuto!"

"Nagi, Rima."

"HOSHINA!"

"SOUMA!"

The two angels and their partners turned to the human couple with a confused look.

Exchanging sheepish grins, Utau and Kukai only smiled but said nothing about why they'd just yelled each other's last names.

"Explain why you call each other by different last names if you are married."

Kukai only grinned while Utau sighed. "We learned that our students like it more when they think that we are enemies and rivals not lovers. I technically am Souma Utau, but Kukai still calls me Hoshina to keep up the excitement."

Ikuto just shook his head. Leave it to those two to remain that competitive. "Right, so Nagi and Rima are here too. Where is Tsukasa?"

"Did you miss me that much, Ikuto?"

The six of them turned to see the older angel leaning against the door frame of one of the worst looking houses with that caring smile on his face.

Amu was the first to move, causing Ikuto to move with her. She hugged the old teacher with a smile on her face. "I missed you."

Tsukasa hugged the smaller angel back while giving Ikuto a smile over her shoulder. "I missed both of you. Glad to see you awake. I know that I was not the only one waiting."

Ikuto rolled his eyes while the other four added their 'yeah's to that comment. "Are you going to make us stand here or invite us in?"

"Yeah! I want to meet your wife!"

Tsukasa smiled before stepping aside to allow the others to enter his house. "Come on in. I'm sorry, Kukai. My beautiful wife just left. You missed her by a few moments. Off to America for her."

Kukai threw his hands up in the air and groaned before covering his face and fake sobbing into Utau's shoulder. She patted his back as if she was really concerned for his current emotional state. "Bu-but we were g-gonna meet her!"

With everyone else ignoring the two actors, Utau and Kukai quickly dropped the act to follow the others inside the rundown building. To their surprise, the inside was much better looking than the outside. Tsukasa had good taste.

"So why are we having this little meeting within my safe house?"

Amu stood firm with Ikuto beside her as she waited for everyone else to take a seat. "I brought Utau, Kukai, Ikuto and myself while asking Rima and Nagi to meet us here so that we could talk. Something is wrong."

Nagihiko was already nodding his head while holding Rima's hand.

Rima didn't really want to talk about Heaven considering that they tried to keep Nagi away from her. Nagi's persistence with wanting to know what was going on with Heaven made her concerned about it as well. Even though she didn't like the place, it would affect her forever since her lover was an angel. "Wrong how?"

Utau and Kukai knew better than doing anything funny or less than serious while having this discussion. Five years hadn't changed much, but they had learned to control themselves when in serious situations. This was serious.

"Angels were attacking Ikuto. Not because they knew that he was Ikuto but because they are still looking for a man with blue hair. Angels are not to kill. There is no reason for any of us to kill. Of course, we all have the power, but we are supposed to be on earth to help humans. Not to hurt them."

Nagihiko continued to nod before he finally spoke up. "The fact that Kairi and Yaya have not been allowed to leave and keep sending me weird messages only confirms your thoughts. Something is definitely wrong up there."

Tsukasa suddenly made seven glasses of water appear on the table in front of the couch. "Lala has been telling me the same things. I have also learned something that you may not want to hear at the moment, Amu."

"You might as well just tell her. I'll be here for her if she needs me."

Amu smiled up at Ikuto as he hugged her tighter. "Thanks Ikuto, but Tsukasa will tell me when he thinks the time is right."

"That I will. Besides, this will also affect you, Ikuto."

"It can't be anything worse than finding her asleep."

Amu quickly turned to plant a kiss on Ikuto's lips. "I am not sleeping anymore, Ikuto."

Holding onto the waist in his hands tighter, Ikuto returned a kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"This is cute and all but we have bigger fish to fry."

Blushing, Amu turned away from Ikuto to look at Rima. "Right. So, we have to do something. Lala, Yaya and Kairi are already there and they are fine. We must assume that others are alright as well. We need to contact them and find out more as to what is going on before we act."

Kukai raised his hand and waited patiently for Amu to call on him. Once she did, he rose to his feet and turned to the others. "Say that something is going on. How are we to know who is alright and who isn't. I think that unless we have seen the angel ourselves and Amu has scanned them for any sort of 'problem' then we cannot trust them. That includes Lala, Yaya and Kairi. I know that we know them but we haven't seen them with our own eyes since they've been there."

The room was silent as everyone acknowledged that Kukai had a point. They hadn't seen their friends and at the moment they couldn't completely trust anyone.

Tsukasa was the first to speak. "I will have to go. I will appear directly in my room and alert Lala and the docs. If I'm captured then we know that no one is okay up there. If I return then we know that we can trust them."

Amu nodded before holding on tighter to Ikuto. "We don't want to risk losing you, Tsukasa, but I see no other way. I cannot go there myself since I'm certain that they have alarms everywhere for my return."

Kukai, still on his feet, once again began talking. "So once we discover who is with us and who is in trouble, what are we going to do?"

Amu was silent. They were all silent, but she knew that they were waiting for her. "We are going to solve the problem. Whatever is wrong, we will fix. Ikuto and I will be a huge threat to whatever is going on."

"It is great to hear you say that, but how do you know that?"

Amu grinned at Nagi before showing the link that Ikuto and she had with their connected hands. "We are joined. Heart, body, mind and soul. My power flows through him and our energy is connected. Ikuto can feed into mine and I can feed into his. We share everything. When we are talking with our minds, Ikuto can hear everything."

The others just stared at the couple before them. Utau and Kukai were shocked because they had no idea that was possible. Tsukasa, Nagi and Rima were staring because that was something only an extremely powerful angel could accomplish with a human partner. Everyone already knew that Amu was powerful. They knew that she was ridiculous in her amount of powers, but this was even more than they were thinking.

Tsukasa sank into his seat before rubbing a hand against his face. "I shouldn't really be surprised. Not after everything you have done, but I still am. How do you keep amazing me, Amu?"

Only smiling, Amu squeezed Ikuto's hand. "I couldn't do it if it wasn't Ikuto."

The others smiled at their gaze. They had been hoping and praying for Amu to wake up for the last five years so that Ikuto could be with his love once again. Now that she was awake and they were joined, Amu and Ikuto definitely let everyone see their love.

"This only changes our attack plan. I still must go before we decide anything else. I'll do that now."

Amu nodded and Tsukasa rose to his feet to move away from the others. What he was planning required a lot of power and he didn't want any of it to affect the others in his home. "Be careful."

"Before I go, I must tell you what I need to tell you. This will definitely change what you are thinking of doing once we know what is going on up there. Tadase is alive and well."

Tsukasa disappeared before anyone could react. Tadase. The angel that caused their trip to Heaven the first time. The angel that tried to kill Ikuto, separate Rima and Nagi and fought Amu to make her stay in Heaven was still alive. Things were definitely going to be more difficult.

Morg: Oh these filler chapters!

Ikuto: Should've spiced it up!

Amu: I think it was just fine.

Morg: Actually, there will be no more lemons in this story. Everything else is building for the climax and the epilogue. There are only a few chapters left. Six or seven at the most.

Ikuto: Plenty of time for a lemon.

Amu: Just review so we can get this story over with.
