Chapter 29: Visits
It didn`t take long for Nikki to tear Yuki from Utau`s arms. Utau stood in the rain as she watched Nikki shed tears of joy. Katsuya came rushing to them. Ikuto then saw Rin and Anokoku peek out from underneath of Utau`s coat. They were together again, Yuki and her family. Utau`s eyes seemed downcast. Then it hit Ikuto so hard, Utau was the one who helped them out. She was the one who left the door open for them. Utau got to Yuki first because she already knew where she was being held. She stole the control from their stepfather, she rescued Yuki`s charas, it was Utau all along. There was one question floating in his mind; why? Utau`s two charas Ii and El floated closely behind.
"Oh, my little girl, my angel!" Nikki sobbed, clutching Yuki tightly. The Guardians were in shock.
"H-How?" Katsuya asked as he knelt by his wife and daughter. Utau made a movement. She pulled out something from her pocket. Ikuto saw that it was the control, but it was broken. She dropped the control and knelt down beside Nikki. Utau pointed toward Yuki`s ankle. Ikuto saw the blasted thing was still on her.
"They`ve been giving her a drug to keep her weak and unconscious. She needs to go to the hospital." Utau said. Katsuya became infuriated. Ikuto couldn`t help but feel irritated as well along with the other Guardians.
"Those damn bastards!" Katsuya shouted. Nikki was struggling with Yuki.
"Dear, the hospital." Nikki said in a rush. Katsuya scooped Yuki in his arms. He quickly walked out the door. He then turned to Utau.
"I hope you`ll explain everything." He said and headed for the car. Nikki threw her arms around Utau and hugged her tightly.
"What you did for my daughter, I can`t thank you enough. All of you, I am in your debt." With one last look, Nikki swept out of the house.
Two days. It has been two days since Yuki was in the hospital. From what he has learned from visiting, Yuki was out of danger. They have also been informed that Yuki`s body had been cleaned from the drug. Ikuto was one of the many visitors Yuki received. She had received many gifts and get well cards. Ikuto sat in a chair by her bed and waited as Yuki spoke with Amu. He was recalling the conversation with his sister the day Yuki was taken to the hospital.
FLASBACK
"What made you do it?" Ikuto asked Utau. She crossed her arms and ignored him. They were in the hospital waiting room. Ikuto saw Amu sitting across the room, staring at them suspiciously. He grabbed Utau`s arm. Utau glared at him, something she had never done before.
"What?" She hissed.
"Why did you save her?" Ikuto asked again. This time she blushed, but continued to frown. Ikuto waited impatiently and was about to ask her again when she answered.
"It was so inhuman…what they were doing to her…" She said quietly. "When you left the building, I wanted to go with you..." Ikuto sighted in frustration. The feelings Utau had for him were wrong. Utau was his little sister, his fifteen year old sister. Utau shifted a little.
"So you saved her to get to me?" Ikuto asked.
"At first yeah, but suddenly my reasons changed. I knew you were going to come back for her, so I left the back door open. I was planning on meeting you in her room, but Yuki woke up." She said. Utau took a large breath.
"She woke up?" He asked. Utau nodded. She leaned on the wall; they were both away from everyone else. It was late, very late, but they were safe.
"She saw me and started crying…she started to beg for me to leave her alone…she was so weak…" Utau told him.
"What did you tell her?" Ikuto asked as he stared at the clock. It was ll: 43p.m.
"I told her that I was going to save her, but she didn`t believe me. Then she…she tried to crawl away from me…" Utau said. Ikuto scratched his head as Utau sighed. "Do you know how bad it feels, to have someone use their last bit of strength to get away from you? I was a monster in her eyes." She said quietly. Ikuto didn`t say anything. Suddenly Utau wrapped her arms around his chest. These sudden movements made him take a step back. Utau let go.
"Utau…" Ikuto warned.
"You see?" She asked. Ikuto was caught off guard by what she said. Utau turned away from him.
"Maybe I felt guilt, I don`t know, but I wanted her to believe me. Something about her made me want to change things. I wanted to wait for you, but the building started to shake, so I left. I had already freed her charas and I had already stolen the control. I had broken the camera in Yuki`s room so they wouldn`t know it was me." She explained.
"And after that?"
"After that I waited for you to come out, but I never saw you. It took a while for me to find her house. When one of her charas woke up from being unconcious, she told me where to go." She told him. Ikuto never imagined Utau would something that noble. Utau watched the clock impatiently.
"Easter is coming back." Ikuto told her. Utau turned to him curiously.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Before you arrived, some men broke into the Taske household. We later found out that they stole files and documents about a project." He informed her.
"A project?" She asked. Ikuto was about to tell her, but stopped when they saw the doctor. Everyone gathered around him.
"Let`s just leave this for another time." He told her.
END FLASHBACK
Yuki was calling to him. Ikuto snapped out of his thoughts.
"Ikuto! Aren`t you listening?" Yuki asked. Ikuto stared at the two girls.
"What?" He asked. Yuki rolled her eyes.
"Is Utau coming today?" She asked. Ikuto shrugged. He didn`t know how it happened, but Utau, Ikuto, and Yuki grew a closer bond. Come to think of it, Utau had changed a little.
"Well, she might be on her way. I have to go; I promised my mom I would be home early." Amu said smiling.
"Okay, I`ll see you tomorrow?" Yuki asked. Amu gave a small laugh.
"That`s a promise." She said. Ikuto was glad that Amu was back to her old self. She seemed too shined again. Ikuto watched her leave and so he too stood up. This could be his chance to be alone with her.
"I`ll see you later." Ikuto told Yuki.
"Wait!" Yuki cried. Ikuto turned impatiently toward her.
"What?"
"Tell Utau that it will be nice to see her." She said. Ikuto made a mental note of that. He nodded. "Oh and my mother said you two could stop by for dinner anytime." She told him.
"Tell your mother she is very kind." With that, Ikuto walked out the door. Ikuto then froze outside her room. He was going after Amu…Not once did Yuki cross his mind, only Amu. His chara gave a yawn.
"Nya, Ikuto, let`s go!" He whined. Ikuto took the elevator in hopes of catching up to Amu. He quickly walked out of the elevator only to run smack into Utau. The force of the impact made her fall to the ground. She glared at Ikuto as she stood up.
"Watch it!" She cried. His sister crossed her arms. "What are you doing here anyway?" She asked.
"I came to visit Yuki. I see you`re going too." He replied smirking. Utau flushed with embarrassment.
"Butt out of my business." She told him. Ikuto was suddenly enjoying teasing her.
"Yuki would be thrilled to know that you care about her." Ikuto teased. Utau scowled.
"If you tell her, I`ll kill you." She threatened. Ikuto smiled as he ruffled her hair. She slapped his hand away. "Grow up!" Ikuto gave a small laugh. This was going to be something he won`t forget. Their very first brother-sister moment.
Ikuto was visiting Yuki again. She was all better and it was her last day at the hospital. She was happy at having to get out. Ikuto thought that his visits were going to be more frequent. The two of them developed a type of friendship.
"This whole kidnapping event made a change in some of us." Yuki told him.
"You could say that." Ikuto replied.
"Like you for instance, are over that stupid infatuation you had on me?" Yuki asked smiling. Ikuto smirked.
"Yeah, have you gotten over Tadase?" He teased back. Yuki blushed as she stared at him.
"H-How?"
"Come on Yuki, it`s obvious." Ikuto said. Yuki looked horrified.
"Really?" She asked.
"No, you just wouldn`t stop ranting his name once." He replied. Yuki began to stutter. Just then something was wrong by the look on Nikki`s face. She seemed worried by what Yuki`s reaction might be. Katsuya had a serious determined look on his face. Yuki noticed the tension.
"Mom, Dad?" She asked. Katsuya acknowledged Ikuto and Nikki gave a weak smile.
"Sweet heart, your father has something to tell you." Nikki told her. Ikuto eyed Yuki who nodded.
"Listen, honey, ever since what happened, I`ve been doubtful. Something tells me you and your mother aren`t safe here." Katsuya said. Ikuto felt he knew what was coming.
"Dad, you don`t need to worry about anything, I`m fine." Yuki tried to reassure him. Katsuya shook his head fiercely.
"No Yuki. Your mother and you mean the world to me. You were put in danger because I brought you here." Yuki`s eyes grew wide in horror. "Yuki, you and your mother are taking the first flight back to America."
Rukia141: Must rest…dead tired…
Falls asleep at the computer.
Scott: Wow, she finished.
Ikuto: Hey, where is that Edward guy?
Scott: Rukia141 tied him up in the closet.
Ikuto: Poor guy…
Scott: Yup.
Hears cries.
Edward: Get me out of here! Help! Help!
Ikuto: Rukia141 might kill us if we set him free.
Scott: Let`s provide a service for Edward Cullen.
