Miyuki: Here I am to do a one-shot that came to mind.
Amu: So no one requested this?
Miyuki: Nope!! But I am getting to those, I just had the spark of creative energy when I heard this song.
Ikuto: Didn't you have something to say about this story...
Miyuki: Thank you!! I am going to say that this has nothing to do with the show. Except for that it is amuto. And I am sorry if the song doesn't start right away. That's how it goes in this song-fic.
Amu: Why what's different??
Miyuki: You have to read!! I don't own Shugo Chara or the song.
Song: The Last Night
Artist: Skillet

Amu's P.O.V------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I take this any longer?! Everyday it is the same; come home from school, dad is sleeping on the couch but I 'wake him up', he beats me, I come up here to clean the wounds and cover them up, I cry. Why did my mom have to leave me alone with my dad??? Ever since then, he blames me for her leaving and I must suffer. He says this shows the pain he is in because she left, but all this does is wish that my mom and sister are doing okay wherever they may be. I don't care if I must endure this pain gave by my dad if it means that those two are safe.
Why haven't I run away and left my dad alone??? Why haven't I gone to the police? All for one reason: If I even think about it, my dad will show me real pain that will affect my whole body. Not just certain places like my arms or legs. Everywhere. Even though that is as specific as he has gotten, I think I get where he is going with that and I feel sick to my stomach if I think about it. Some people would just resort to killing themselves, but I have one reason to live. And his name is Ikuto Tsukiyomi.
Even though I have no idea if he likes me in anyway, I still love him and he has given me a reason to live. Does he know this happens to me? No way!! I know I would be digging myself a big hole if I showed him. I get to see Ikuto every time he comes and visits me on my balcony. That reminds me, he said he would be coming today to visit. I just have to wait for him.
As I was laying in my room, my dad comes and burst open the door. He looks drunk and mad most likely I'll be blamed for. He storms over to my bed and slaps me for no reason at all. The force of the hit made me fall on the ground where he started kicking me and cursing at me. When he finally stopped, I was bleeding and had bruises.
"Your food was so bad that I had to go out and eat!!!" Oh I'm sorry your food was bad. I mean I know it is very hard to cook for you and all. You should have just gotten me. Really?!?! You didn't know what you wanted so I cooked whatever and you get picky then!!! I would never say this to his face, but in my head is okay. He finally kicked me a couple more times and left me on the floor bleeding. I could barely move, and all I could do was move my arms and that was a limited movement. I started to cry once I moved myself too far where I was in total pain.
You come to me with scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine
But I know it's a lie
Out of nowhere, I heard someone gasp and it scared me. The only one I could think it would be is Ikuto and I really don't want him to see me like this. He comes and kneels in front of me and I could see that my assumptions were correct. Ikuto picks me up and I didn't even care about the pain that came with that. The fact that I am in his arms makes me happy and I tried to smile at him. He didn't look so happy to see me like this and he gently put me on my bed and went out of my room. I couldn't find words to stop him, so I tried to stand up and use all my strength to follow him.
He was going to go to the bathroom, but he saw my dad and decided to take out all of his anger on him. I couldn't keep up to stop him before my dad saw him and they got into a heated battle. Ikuto started throwing punches at my father while he took a second to realize someone he didn't know was in his house before he reacted to the hits he was receiving.
"What the hell did you do to your daughter?!?!?! She was in her room all beaten up and bleeding on the floor!!! Did you even know?! Did you do that to her?!?!?!" With everything Ikuto said, he would throw and attack at my dad and all I could do was struggle to make it to them. (A/N: Amu you slowpoke.)
"I didn't do anything!!!! And who are you?! You have no right to speak to that worthless girl!!!! She is my daughter and I don't want you speaking with her!!!" Ikuto was even more angry at what he said about me. I wasn't affected though, used to it I guess. I have to say something before this gets too out of hand.
"Ikuto!! Stop beating him up!!" They both looked at me and my father looked real mad and I know why this time. Ikuto was surprised I had followed him. I'm guessing he just noticed I was here. Ikuto gave up on my dad and walked over to me. I couldn't see my dad anymore for Ikuto was standing in front of me blocking my view. I started to loose all my energy in my legs and my knees gave out on me. I gripped onto him and leaned on him until he got me off my feet.
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
"Come on. You've lost too much blood. I'm taking you to the hospital." I could see past Ikuto and saw that my dad was advancing on Ikuto with a knife in his hand. My eyes got big and I knew I had to say something.
"Ikuto! Behind you!!!" He looked behind and moved right before my dad could get him. He put me on the couch and looked at the crazy person trying to stab him. My dad started laughing crazily and it scared me. I saw my dad try to stab Ikuto again and he missed, but Ikuto kicked the hand with the knife and it flew out of his hand. My dad grabbed his wrist and Ikuto ran to me and picked me up. He carried me out of there and we were away from that house.
Ikuto's P.O.V-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once we were far enough away from the house, I looked down at Amu and saw that she was crying. I felt so bad seeing her all beaten up and crying. I loved this girl crying in my arms. She always was soo strong and if she has been living with that monster for her whole life, I can't believe how many more scars she also has.
"Amu." She looked up at me and grabbed onto my shirt and hugged me. I'm glad she trusts me. I walked into the hospital and walked over to one nurse. She looked at me and then at Amu and her eyes got big. She called over some other nurses and they tried to take Amu from me, but she wouldn't let go of me.
"No!! Don't take me away from him!! I want him with me!!" They all looked at me and I didn't know what to do. I guess I will have to find ways to get Amu go with them.
"Amu, they are going to look over your marks and see what they need to do. I will be waiting to see you and I won't leave until they let me. And even if they say visiting hours are over, I will come and see you anyway." Yeah, the nurses looked at me and I gave them a look that said not to argue. They agreed and Amu looked at me and I looked at her.
"Promise?" I shook my head and she reluctantly let go of me and went with them. I walked over to sit down and wait. One lady came over to me and wanted me to answer some questions. She even brought up a a topic that made me mad.
Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine
But I know it's a lie
"Do you know how this happened??" My expression got hard and she seemed scared. I looked at her and thought of the guy she used to live with. I can't believe she has lived so long with him and not said anything to me.
"I don't know for sure, but I think it was her father." Her eyes got big. I guess she hasn't heard that one yet while working here. She asked me to fill out some paper since I lied and said I was related to her.
Many hours later, I got the message that I was allowed to see her. I practically ran to the room I was told and found Amu wrapped up and she was in pain, but it looked like she was getting better. I went and was by her side. She looked at me and smiled. I returned the smile.
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
The last night away from me
"I thought you left." I shook my head and told her about the promise we had. She looked happy that I was there still and I was glad. To know that even after everything that has happened tonight that she can still smile makes me happy.
"I was asked to ask you if you wanted to file a police report. They could arrest your dad and you would be free." She looked hesitant on whether or not she should file or not. I have to convince her that it would be safer for her to file than it is to not. I can only guess what he has told her to convince her that going would put her in pain.
"I will stay with you all the way. I won't leave you alone. Not again." Amu looked at me and I saw her start to cry again. She grabbed my hand and I wanted to know that she was really back to normal. I had to get her to blush and I know one way I can always get her. I just have to make a perverted comment.
The night is so long when everything's wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on
Tonight, tonight
"Now Amu, are you being more assertive? You are trying to show your feelings for me by holding my hand aren't you." I smirked at her and like I assumed, she blushed. My job was done. She was going to remove her hand for my comment, but I grabbed onto it and held it so she couldn't.
"No, I like holding your hand." She relaxed and my grip on her loosened. A nurse came into the room and looked at us. I looked over at her questionably and she voiced a question to Amu., the same question a had asked her earlier and never got an answer to. Amu looked at me thinking I had an answer she should follow.
"Amu, I will be with you if you decide to file a report against him or not. Either way, I will still be here, and nothing can change that. One thing I won't do is give you back to him. You will never live with him again. I'll make sure of it." She smiled and nodded her head as if I gave her a strong answer. She told the nurse that she would file a report against him. I was happy that she made the choice and the nurse left.
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
"Amu, I won't leave you during any of this. Even after I will always be by your side. And do you know why Amu?" She gave me a curious look and I decided to continue with my statement and not wait for a verbal answer.
"Because I love you. I have always loved you Amu." Her eyes got real big and she gripped my hand harder, she even started to cry. She grabbed my arm and gave my arm a hug, since she couldn't sit up and give me a full hug.
"I love you too Ikuto! I was just scared that you wouldn't feel the same about me so I didn't tell you. That's why I didn't tell you about my dad either. I was scared how you would react." I smiled and wiped away the tears that poured from her eyes. She looked up at me and I looked at her. Even hooked up to everything and with the scars and bruises, she was still beautiful in my eyes.
"I won't judge you if you were abused by your dad. I will only hate your dad. I will still love you with all my heart. So that's means, don't hide stuff like that from me again. I command you as your official boyfriend to not keep things from me!" I smirked at her and she blushed, but still got mad that I 'commanded' her. She yelled at me for it too. Oh well, she is mine and no one else. And I will make sure no one else hurts her or I will seriously make them regret it! Oh, I also have to remember later on that once her dad is in jail; I will have to go ask him for his daughter's hand in marriage, not like I care if he gives her to me or not...
Amu's P.O.V------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't believe all that's happened in this day. I am free from the monster I was living with and I get to be with the person I love and I don't have to worry about being hurt or keeping anything secret from him again. Now how to tell Utau that I am dating her brother...
I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night away from me
Away from me
Miyuki: I like how this one turned out. And this one is long!!
Amu: I'm in the hospital and you like this ending?!?!?!?!
Miyuki: It's not like that, I just like that Ikuto protected you. And I almost took out the song because I almost forgot to put in the song so it would've been hard, but I didn't.
Ikuto: And I got to beat up your dad. But I almost got stabbed, and Amu was really beat up.
Miyuki:
It's how it went. Sorry. But she's okay and she ended up with you so
don't you two complain!!
Ikuto:...True.
Miyuki: Good. Now I was going to say that this is more depressing than the rest of mine that I wrote. And I didn't mean to not write about the ones people requested, but I just liked this song and this thought came to mind and if I didn't write about it, I would've forgotten about it and been mad.
Amu: Anyways, if you liked this story please check out Mi's other stories.
Miyuki: I think I have another idea and this is using someone's song. So don't give up on me please!!!
Everyone: Please review!!
