~*Chapter 14*~
Ikuto and the others followed Amu to the ambulance truck. They watched as the doctor put nitric oxide to her face, and saw her fall asleep. On their way there everyone was silent.
~*Flashback!*~
"Heart surgery?" Everyone except Amu said in unison. Amu just stayed quiet...pondering on what to do.
"Yes..that's the only way she can be cured." he said. Rima turned to Amu.
"Amu are you sure you want to do this? All for singing?" she asked. Amu looked at her with a small smiled.
"But it's not just for singing...it's for having a normal life too..." Kukai said. Amu gave everyone a smile.
"Don't worry...I can do this. I'll be fine as long as you all are with me." she said. Ikuto smiled at her.
"Okay. I'll be there with you every step of the way..." he said. Amu looked at the others and they nodded. But they were still worried sick about their best friend. Utau's been best friends with Amu since they were little. Nagihiko was in love with her until he found out about the whole 'never had a girl as just a friend' thing, and same with Kukai. Ever since then, Amu had been declared their number one bestfriend. Rima's been friends with Amu since middle school. Rima was the kind of person that never opened up to anybody...until Amu came around and talked to her.
"Alright then, it's decided. Let's go Hinamori-san" the doctor said motioning to the ambulance truck.
~*End of Flashback!*~
They arrived to the hospital and the aura of the place was very...depressing. Especially to Kukai. He hated when people were depressed, and sad...he couldn't take it. They were all sitting in the waiting room, waiting for Amu's five hour process to be complete.
"Gah! What's up with all these people?! Why is everyone so depressed?!" he exclaimed as he stood up. Everyone in the waiting room looked at him like he was crazy. Rima, Utau, and Nagihiko sweat dropped.
"Would you calm down? You're making a scene!" Rima exclaimed. Nagihiko grabbed his collar and pulled him down to his chair.
"Idiot." Nagihiko mumbled. Kukai grimaced.
"I can't take this atmosphere anymore! And where the hell is Ikuto?" he exclaimed. The people in the waiting room 'shh'ed him.
"Will you shut up?! And Ikuto is with Amu in the operating room." Nagihiko explained. Kukai calmed down a little, but not enough.
"I can't just sit here while my best friend is having an operation on the other side of this wall! I need to get in there!" he yelled. Nagihiko's eyebrow twitched.
"The doctor said family only. And in case you haven't noticed, Ikuto and Amu are family now." he said trying to keep his cool.
"Oh and I know how you feel. Amu must be a little upset that her best friend ahem, me isn't in there with her." Nagihiko said, earning a dark purple aura from Rima, Utau, and of course Kukai.
"How many times..." Utau growled.
"Do I have to tell you..." Rima growled with her.
"That you're not..." Nagihiko scolded.
"HER BEST FRIEND?!" they all yelled in unison. Kukai flinched back but then stood his ground. Everyone started to yell at each other.
"What do you mean?! You're not her best friend! Stop copying me! Ugh!" they all yelled in unison. The people in the waiting room sweat dropped at their behavior.... they are way to old to be acting like this...
~*XX*~
"Okay, Amu you're almost done." Ikuto said to her lifeless body. It's been about four and half hours, and everything was looking fine. Ikuto was both worried and excited for Amu. He was going to hear her beautiful voice again, and he couldn't wait. He watched the whole process of the surgery, and he was a little grossed out, but he wasn't a person that get's weak kneed around blood.
"Okay, we just need to stitch this up, and then we're done." the doctor said with a smile.
"Can you wait with you're friends in the waiting room while we finish up?" he asked. Ikuto nodded, and walked out of the room leaving Amu on the operation table.
The doctor finished her stitches and smiled at his accomplishment. Everything went perfect and he was more than relieved.
"Take her into ICU. I will notify her friends." he said as he walked out of the operating room. Once he reached the waiting room he heard yelling.
"I've known Amu for fifteen years! That means I'm her best friend!" Utau yelled.
"No it doesn't!!" Rima, Nagihiko, and Kukai yelled in unison. Ikuto was sitting down quietly on the chair, pinching the bridge of his nose. The doctor sweat dropped.
"Uh..." he said. Everyone looked at him with shock and ran over to him. Kukai, Nagihiko, Rima and Utau started yelling at the same time.
"How is she?! Is she alright?! STOP COPYING ME!!!" they all yelled in unison. Ikuto sweat dropped as he walked over to them.
"Will you guys shut up so I could hear what he has to say?" he asked making them silent. The doctpr sighed and started.
"Everything went perfectly. She just needs to recover." he explained.
"How long will that take?" Kukai asked. Everyone else nodded.
"Well after surgery is completed, the patient is monitored closely in the Intensive Care Unit while coming out of anesthesia. After a day or two of careful observation in ICU, if recovery proceeds as expected, the patient is moved to a monitored regular hospital room. Most open-heart artery bypass patients are able to go home in five to seven days." he explained. Nagihiko, Rima, Utau, and Ikuto nodded. Kukai was scratching the back of his head.
"I have no idea what you just said." he said. Everyone sighed.
"He said that Amu will be in ICU for about a day or two, then she will go to a regular hospital room for about five to seven days." Nagihiko explained.
"Alright help me out here...what does ICU mean again?" he asked, making everyone sweat drop at his stupidity.
"ICU means intensive care unit." Ikuto said rolling his eyes.
"Oh I get it now!" Kukai exclaimed.
"So can we see her now?" Rima asked. The doctor shook his head.
"You should wait until she's in a regular hospital room. She needs her rest." he said. Everyone looked down sadly.
"But you can see her from a window." he said making everyone cheer up. The doctor motioned for everyone to follow him. Once they made it to ICU, he pointed to Amu.
"There she is." he said. Everyone pressed themselves against the window...except Ikuto. He had his hands in his pockets, waiting for the idiots to move so he could be there on his own. Once they finally moved Ikuto moved up to the window. Amu was laying there on the bed with the cannula in her nose. Ikuto warmly smiled at his new wife. But he was also sad that he couldn't spend their wedding night together. But as long as she gets better everything will be fine....
~*One week later!*~
"So...she can leave tomorrow?" Nagihiko asked the doctor. He nodded.
"But when can she perform?" Utau asked. The doctor looked at his clipboard.
"Well persons with sedentary office jobs may be able to return to work in four to six weeks. Those with jobs that are especially physically demanding may have to wait longer, modify their work activities, or sometimes find different employment. The patient's physician may recommend gradually increasing the amount of activity at home to include light housework, going out, visiting friends and climbing stairs. The goal is to help the patient resume an active lifestyle and return to former activities and pursuits." he explained. Everyone nodded...except Kukai.
"Uh...english please." he said. Nagihiko sighed.
"What he means is, that Amu will have to take it easy for a while before she can perform." he explained. Kukai smiled and nodded.
"Man, I was looking forward to perform again." Amu said making everyone turn around and smile.
"You're awake." Ikuto said walking over to her and sitting next to her on the bed. Amu smiled.
"Yeah, I had a pretty good sleep too." she said stretching. Everyone smiled.
"Well your stuff is packed, and we'll be leaving tomorrow." Utau explained smiling. Amu smiled back.
"Can't wait." she said. Ikuto wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
"And I have a surprise for you." he said quietly. Amu's smile grew.
"I love surprises." she said.
~*Next Day!*~
Everyone arrived at Ikutos surprise and Amu climbed out of the car with Nagihikos help. Once she looked at the building she smiled in excitment.
"Oh my god! You bought a house!" she exclaimed as she hugged Ikuto tight. Ikuto smiled.
"I'm glad you like it." he said as he picked her up bridal style and walked in the house. Everyone else smiled, and followed. Once they were inside, they greeted Amu's mom
"Welcome home sweety!" she exclaimed as she hugged her. Amu smiled with her.
"Hey mom, thanks." she said. Then Amu felt someone tug her shirt.
"Ami!" Amu exclaimed as she picked up her little sister and hugged her. Ami smiled.
"Onee-chan! I haven't seen you in a looong time!" she exclaimed. Ikuto came up behind her.
"Onii-chan!" Ami yelled as she jumped in Ikuto's arms. Ikuto smiled.
"ONII-CHAN?! AMU-CHAN HAS A BOYFRIEND?!" everyone turned around to see Tsumugu...Amu's dad.
"Hey dad." she said.
"I don't have a boyfriend....I'm married." she said holding up her hand revealing her ring. Tsumugu's soul went out of his mouth.
"M-Married...." his soul said floating away. Everyone sweat dropped.
"I really can't wait to sing again...I don't want to wait." Amu said quietly. Ikuto smiled.
"You don't have to. You can sing right here." he said quietly. Amu smiled at everyone.
"Yeah Amu! It's not like you're dancing or anything!" Utau said. Amu smiled and nodded. She breathed in, and breathed out.

She breathed out again, and everyone clapped. Amu smiled at her accomplishment. She was singing again and she liked it. She couldn't wait to perform again in front of her many fans that loved her.
Everything is perfect, but why do I feel like something's missing?
