Hey guys :D me again, two chapters in three days! I'm so excited :3 But let's just hope it stays this often :(

Chapter 10: You Feel Like Home to Me

Amu's POV

Silence rang throughout the room as soon as the words escaped my lips. They stared at me, slightly petrified at my suggestion. No one moved a muscle and it was stifling to wait for them to come up with an answer, or an expression besides shock for that matter.

I sighed, "Look, I know it's hard to process all of this. But I can give you your memories back, and when you see them, if you don't want them, I can take it all away, I can weave a spell so thick that none of us will ever remember anything again," I took a deep breath, "Even I won't remember."

Steeling my nerves, I continued, "We won't have to deal with the pain, or the heartbreak, I can make sure of that."

Finally, I saw Nagi draw a deep breath as the surprise disappeared from his expression, "I think," he began slowly, "I think I want them back. There's something, or someone," he corrected as his eyes flittered over to Rima, "That's missing. And it feels like a part of me is missing," he said as he clutched his chest, "I never thought much about since it's been there as long as I can remember...but now...I want to know who it is."

I nodded numbly at his statement as laced my stomach upon hearing his words. It was my fault. It was my fault he was feeling that way. It was my fault that they were all feeling that way.

Just then, Nagi stepped forward so that he was in front of me, jarring me out from my thoughts. He reached out to touch my face before he gently brushed his thumb across my cheek, I was surprised to see a tear drop follow his finger before it dripped down onto the floor.

"Amu-chan, you don't have to cry," he said soothingly as he smiled gently at me.

As soon as he said that though, tears started flowing out at an even faster rate.

"I'm sorry," I apologized through my tears, "I'm sorry for taking that away from you guys," I sobbed.

"It's not your fault," Utau immediately stepped up, "I don't know what happened before all of this," she said as she gestured around the room, "But I do know you, Amu. And you would never hurt us."

Rime smiled warmly, which was a complete rarity, "We love you Amu. And we know you love us. All these years everything you've done, I'm sure you've done to protect us."

Yaya grinned, "How on earth, or heaven, could we ever be mad at you?"

I looked at my friends and tears of gratitude filled my eyes as I flung my arms around them, "Thank you, for understanding," I whispered.

They laughed and hugged me back before Kukai teasingly said, "I don't want to interrupt this moment since it's really heartwarming and all...but I am curious about those memories. Blondie here's made me very curious," he said with a impish grin at Utau who just rolled her eyes in return.

I giggled but nonetheless complied, "Okay. But I'll have to do it in groups, these memory spells take a lot of energy and I can't restore six people's memories at one go," I warned.

"I think the guys should go first," Rime pipped up immediately, already back to her usual stoic expression.

There was a murmur of agreement and not too long later the four boys had formed a circle in front of me, ready to get their memories back.

I took a deep breath and risked one last glance at Ikuto (who by the way had been staring blatantly at me the whole time) and I felt my heart swell. If this goes right...we could be together again. Properly. I wanted to just run over to him, grab him and kiss him senseless.

However, as soon as that thought occurred to me, I blushed to the tips of my roots and Ikuto saw this, causing him to smirk at me teasingly.

"Like what you see?" he taunted, causing me to turn even redder.

Instead of letting him get to me, I said instead, "This might make you woozy," I muttered before closing my eyes and concentrating very hard as I conjured up the spell.

I didn't need to look to know that there was a magic circle entwining the five of us together and that their elemental symbol was glowing on their forehead.

When I finished my chant, I opened my eyes just in time to see them close their eyes and their respective symbols faded from their foreheads as their bodies crumpled towards the ground.

The girls reacted fast enough though, Utau easily caught Kukai and while Yaya wobbled a lot she still managed to support Kairi. Even Rima made an attempt to catch Nagi, though it looked like she was going to collapse anytime soon. I, on the other hand, let Ikuto crumple straight to the floor. Not even wincing the slightest when I head his head make contact with the hard marble ground with an ear splinting crack.

"Serves you right for all those times you teased me," I huffed before calmly stepping over his unconscious body and heading to help Rima with Nagi.

Utau just rolled her eyes and went to help Yaya before picking Iktuo up and lying him on the remaining space on the couch.

"So..." Utau trailed off as she stared at the unconscious bodies of the guys.

"What do we do now?" Rima asked bluntly.

I shrugged, "Now, we wait."

I was so sorely tempted to let the chapter end here and give you guys another cliff hanger (because let's face it, I get more reviews with a cliffy XD)...but it was wayyy to short. And I haven't been constant in my updating, so I thought I owed you guys at least this much and not torture y'all again XD So, let's get on with the story!

P.S. I'll do a oneshot for any fandom (as long as I've seen it before) and any pairing that you like if you can tell me who, and in which movie, said that last line. :D Let's see if anyone guesses it!

It didn't take long for the boys to wake up, maybe and hour or so, I'm not sure, but they woke up to a rather interesting sight really, me and the girls, huddled in a corner, our faces pinched up in concentration...playing Jenga.

Kukai was the first to wake up and he let out a very explosive 'WHAT THE HELL?!', causing Utau to shriek and pull out the wrong piece, in turn, making the whole thing collapse. This, of course, led to a very heated debate (because, as it's been drilled into my head a multitude of times, it was not an argument), halfway through which, Kukai grabbed Utau and kissed her.

But she pulled away and slapped him.

Well of course she did, he got her memories back, not her. But she did press her palm to the place on his cheek that she'd slapped and whispered that when she got her memories back and if she found out the kiss was due, she would make it up to him.

By now, of course, the other guys had woken up, although Ikuto was thankfully still unconscious (but I had a feeling he was faking), and I quickly gathered them into a circle and performed the spell again.

Their lovers easily caught them and whisked them off into their respective rooms to rest. By now, the spell had taken it's toll on me and the floor spun beneath me as I came hurtling towards it.

And that's how I found myself wrapped up in a secure embrace, staring into the most beautiful pair of midnight blue eyes ever.

I knew he was faking it.

"Amu," he whispered softly as he looked at me, his eyes were wide and filled with various emotions. Worry, shock, fear, relief...love.

An emotion I never thought I would see from him again.

"Ikuto," I breathed as I looked up at him in shock.

"I missed you," I choked as tears began filling my vision.

He immediately swiped them away with his nimble fingers as he smirked down at me, "Sorry I took so long," he said and I laughed and before I knew it, we were kissing.

I tousled my hands thought his hair as I pulled him closer and I could feel the hand he had pressed up against my spine to support me slowly move towards my waist and gently lifted me onto a sitting position on the couch as he kneeled before me, not once breaking the kiss.

When we both reluctantly pulled away for awhile, I just let my forehead rest against his as tears pricked my eyes once again.

He wrapped me up in his embrace and pulled me in tight. No words were shared between us because we didn't need any to convey to each other what we felt at that point in time.

And as I snuggled closer to his chest, I admitted to myself; it felt nice, to be in his arms again. I felt safe and secure in a way I haven't felt in a very, very long time...I felt home.
