Eve: HELLO CHILDREN!
Ikuto & Amu: ... *stares at Eve judgingly*
Eve: What? It's not like I'm sleep deprived and still have homework to do.
Amu: But you are sleep deprived.
Ikuto: And you have homework.
Eve: Not as much as Tina because she is currently making the cover for the new fanfic! And it's because it's a school project that she's actually putting effort into it!
Amu: Are you gonna tell them the news or what?
Eve: Oh right. So~. I have finally finished this fanfic so I want to see if you guys want me to post it all at the same time or just stick to the schedule. And when I finish this one, I'll be posting a new fanfic that will hopefully have many, many chapters ready. Or it will be done. Either one. Maybe. Maybe not. Okay most likely not because of f*cking school. First week and I already had 3 projects. And I get homework on the weekends. And weekly tests. We seriously just started school last Wednesday and I learned nothing. Math did nothing; science bunch of stupid ass projects that I already learned about; english, getting to know the class, finding quotes online, and making a book cover (what Tina's working on rn); history, writing the f*cking vocab and people of a chapter in our book without actually reading it. Oh my god that's a long rant.
Ikuto: Ya think?
Eve: Before this gets too long I wanna say, as usual, Tina and I do not own Shugo Chara. It owned by PeachPit. We only own the OC's and plot.
All: Enjoy!
Chapter 12
"Hey she's becoming conscious again!"
"Call Mahiru!"
"On it!"
"Is she gonna stay like that for the rest of the day? It's kinda scary."
Then I sat up and rubbed my head. And I felt a hug. "Don't you ever scare me like that again." I heard Mahiru whisper into my ear.
"Mahiru what's going on?"
"You seemed to have a sudden fever and you passed out when you were walking home with Mahiru." Amu said.
"But then-" Rima started to say but got cut off by Mahiru's glare. "Never mind, he can tell you that himself."
"Everyone out of the room please. I need to talk with Mahiru." I said, feeling dizzy again.
I saw a hint of 'you know the plan' in Atsuko's eyes so I said, "Akame, Asuna. Please guard the door so that no one will try to eavesdrop on us."
"Yes ma'am!" Asuna said.
"Ok…" Akame said extremely tired.
"Alright people, out of the room. Out of the room!" Asuna said.
"Just go downstairs so I can go to sleep ok?" Akame said a little bit more awake this time.
"Alright alright, we won't eavesdrop. Let's go girls." Utau said.
"Awwww, fine." Atsuko said, pouting.
After everyone was out of the room and Mahiru checked if the coast was clear, he started talking.
"I know you are wondering what happened so I'm just going to tell you."
~Flashback~
~Mahiru's POV~
"Hey Ayaka you look sick. Are you ok?" I said.
"I am kinda dizzy." Ayaka said, looking like she was going to fall at anytime.
Then her knees buckled and she fell, and I caught her. But I wasn't the only the only one. Ikuto caught her too.
"What the hell?! Ikuto what are you doing here?"
"She's mine, not yours." Ikuto said casually.
Then I noticed that Ayaka had already passed out, and Ikuto yanked her from my grip.
"Hey!"
"Keep this in mind Mahiru, she'll never be yours." Ikuto said, growling. Then he held her bridal style.
Behind Ikuto, Kaori, Utau, and Atsuko ran up.
"Ikuto! Why are carrying Ayaka and why did we hear yelling?" Atsuko said, pooped.
"Go talk to Mahiru, he'll tell you everything. But I'm leaving." Ikuto said, running towards Ayaka's house.
~End of Flashback~
"So that's basically what happened." Mahiru said, having an aura around him.
"Oh my god… I was right." I whispered, mentally facepalming myself.
"Wait, you KNEW that Ikuto liked you?"
"Actually I just made guesses." I said, careful not to drag Utau into this.
"That jerk… telling me that you were his." Mahiru said, clenching his fists.
"But he was blushing when Atsuko accused him of liking Kaori." I said.
"It was probably an act so I would let my guard down. Unfortunately it worked." Mahiru said, tense.
I felt about ready to cry, but I couldn't start crying right then so I kept it in.
"It's ok… I'll talk to him." I said putting my hand on his.
"You can't. Ever since then no one saw him."
"What?! Then could he be…" I murmured.
"Ayaka? Do you know something about where he could be?"
"What? Oh, no. I just thought about why he did that."
"I see. Well, you stay and rest. You're not in the best shape right now."
"Alright. See you later."
Then Mahiru left and Atsuko and Utau came it.
"Are you feeling alright?" Utau said, with a concerned look on her face.
"Yes. I'm feeling a lot better. But have you seen Ikuto? I need to talk to him."
"No… Ever since he carried you off like that no one saw him or Yoru." Utau said.
"But I have an idea of where he could be." Atsuko said, about to cry.
"Me too." I said.
"You do? Where?" Utau asked.
"I promised him that I would never tell anyone, and I am going to honor that promise." I said, a bit more dizzy.
"Then how are we going to know where you're thinking of?" Utau asked.
"I'll go with you."
"Ayaka! You can't! You might pass out again." Atsuko said, worried.
"It's fine. I've been resting after all."
"Alright, if you say so." Utau said.
"Then let's go. There's a chance that he'll leave soon if we don't hurry."
~Ikuto's POV~
"Ikuto ~Nya, we can't live here forever ~nya." Yoru said.
"I know. We'll leave soon, we're running out of food anyways." I said, distracted because I was thinking of Ayaka.
"Ok ~Nya, I'm going to take a nap ~Nya."
"Ok."
After 5 minutes, I heard Ayaka's voice. Then Atsuko's, then Utau's.
"What are they doing here…" I whispered.
"He showed me this place a couple weeks ago. He said that this was an emergency place to stay." Ayaka said. Then, she spotted me but the others didn't seem to notice.
"Hey this is the place where he brought Amu to when he was giving her one of his little talks a couple months ago." Atsuko said.
"So this must be where he goes when he disappears." Utau said.
"Looks like he's not here, but you two go on ahead. I have something that I need to check out." Ayaka said as she looked at me.
"Um, ok." They said at the same time.
Then she walked over to where I was and she said, "We need to talk."
~Ayaka's POV~
"Looks like he's not here, but you two go on ahead. I have something that I need to check out." I said, looking at Ikuto.
"Um, ok." they said at the same time.
When they walked out, I walked over to Ikuto and said, "We need to talk."
He crawled out of his hiding spot and asked, "About what?"
"Wait." I said and checked if the others were eavesdropping, but they weren't. "It's really simple, do you like me?"
"I- I do." he said, blushing and turning away.
"Then, when were you planning to ask me out?"
"2 days before the dance, but it seemed like Mahiru beat me to it."
"So you knew that he already asked me out."
"Yea."
"How?"
"Won't tell."
"Ok, it's fine." I said, getting a bit dizzy again. "But when I passed out after the dance, were you watching Mahiru and I?"
He stayed quiet for a bit then said, "Yes."
"Ok. Then, not that I'm offended or something, why did you tell Mahiru that I was yours and not his?" I said getting extremely dizzy now.
"I just like you that much."
"Alright, listen. I love you as much as I love Mahiru so no need to fight over me." I said feeling like I'm going to pass out any time soon.
"Ok." He said. He seemed like he was about to say something else but then he looked at me. "Hey Ayaka, are you feeling ok? You don't look so good."
"No, no I feel fine. Just come back when you're ready, I'm going now." I stood up, but then I fell. Into Ikuto's arms.
"Hey! Stop pushing yourself so much! You're going to pass out again!" Ikuto said, but his face got blurry.
"I don't feel so good." Then I passed out.
Eve: Okay so I know it's a short chapter but honestly Tina did most of the work. When we wrote this it was… summer so I was at summer school doing nothing but sitting there in class.
Amu:... Stop doing that.
Eve: Why? It's not like I learned anything. *a timer goes off* Well crap. I need to do homework. See ya! *runs off*
Ikuto: … She needs to have better time management.
Amu: But she still somehow manages to post something every week.
Ikuto: True.
Amu: Please R&R. Constructive criticism welcome. And tell the crazy lady who just left if you want the rest of the story at once. See you next week!
Ikuto: Bye.
