Sasaz: Soooo... I decided that I would be all angelic and update today :3

Amu: And why would you be so angelic on this very fine day?

Sasaz: Because, I'm damn 14 and I was ordered around to teach a SIX years old girl how to read. Believe me, it's damn annoying.

Utau: Are you going to update or what? -_-

Sasaz: -tries to open mouth-

Ikuto: I'm BACK!

Sasaz: -tries to speak=

Amu: Where did you go, ne Ikuto?

Ikuto: Aww, miss me?

Amu: Whaa- NO!

Sasaz: I DON'T OWN SHUGO CHARA =.= Stop all the drama! Aaaand, enjoy the next chapter!


Chapter Six ;)

-Recap-

''Wai- what are you doing?!'' I was scared when both of them started to rip off my coat from me and then Rei started to kiss my face. I slapped Rei's face but he just punched me in return. That hurts, a lot. Ugh! I can feel my tears starting to fall... Someone... Anyone... HELP ME! Ikuto..

''I..Ku..To..'' I managed to say before I was knocked out by both of them.


Xx~ Normal POV ~xX

Ikuto was getting restless as he somehow felt that Amu was in great danger. He kept his legs running although he was already sweating a lot. He has to find Amu. Correction. He needs to find Amu.

''Oh god Amu, why didn't you just listen to me?'' He muttered grimly as he kept his eyes alert for any signs of Amu's pink hair. Before he knew it, he had somehow stopped near a dark and deserted alleyway. He could hear some voices, a girl's voice seeking for help. An image of Amu's crying face flashed through his mind. He quickly went into the alleyway to see Amu being knocked out by TWO men.

''Shit.'' He cursed and pulled one of those men from Amu. Beating the hell out of him, Ikuto was beyond pissed off when he caught a glimpse of Amu's swollen cheeks. The man he was beating finally slumped against the wall full of grime. Ikuto was practically charging to the man who was still holding Amu with lust-filled eyes.

''Don't you dare... touch my Amu.'' Ikuto said through gritted teeths and punched the said man. Blood started to pour from the man's nose but he tried to punch Ikuto nevertheless. Ikuto smirked in victory as he swiftly roundhouse kick the man who was now slumped against the wall with his so-called friend.

''Amu... I should've protected you... Gomenasai...'' Ikuto tried to shake away the image of Amu's beaten up form as he carried her to her house. He didn't realize as Rei [ the man? any memories about him? ] took out a knife from his back pocket and stabbed Ikuto from behind. Ikuto was shocked but he still managed to knock out Rei with a really hard punch on the face.

Ikuto winced as he tried to bring Amu to the nearest hospital. He was losing some of his bloods but he didn't care about himself. He was still concern about Amu. As he stepped into the emergency room in the hospital, he said one last thing before darkness consume him.

''Help.''


Two Week Later -.- [at the Royal Garden]

''Ohayoooo! Amu-chii!'' A very piped up Yaya greeted Amu was just nodded grimly at her.

''Ohayo, Yaya...'' She gave Yaya a smile but really, anyone could see that the smile was fake. Amu was still traumatized because of the incident where she was nearly raped. She was so grateful that Ikuto came and save her, again although it nearly cost him his own life. Tears started to well up on the brim of her honey golden eyes.

''Damn.. I've been crying for days... Weeks to be precise...'' She muttered as she wiped her tears with the back of her hands. A gentle squeeze on her shoulders made her jumped in surprise. She turned around to see a pair of lime green orbs looking at her with concern.

''Hinamori? Are you okay?'' Kukai asked her while taking a sit next to her.

''Aa, I'm f-fine...'' Okay, she was obviously lying and Kukai would know that for sure but hey, she was still scared of what had happened.

''Well.. Okay, then. But if you need someone to cry out all your problems to, I'll be glad to help you. Okay?'' Kukai smiled at her, which made Amu's turmoiled mind feeling slightly at ease.

''Arigatou, Kukai-kun...'' Amu tried to smile, but to no avail. She can't smile. No. Ikuto was absent from school for nearly two weeks already and she was worried about him. Yea, she had visited him in the hospital but he was still in coma. He lost just too much blood from the incident. Amu felt guilty and she felt lost. She doesn't want him to leave her like her family did. No, she wouldn't allow it.

''A-ano, Kukai-kun.. I think I'll skip school for today. Ja ne!'' She said as she waved goodbye to all the Guardians before rushing out from the Royal Garden. She was determined to visit Ikuto today even though she just visited him two days ago.

'Heck, it was two days ago. I must visit him!' Amu thought as she sped up her walking pace towards the hospital.


''I-Ikuto?'' Amu was shocked to see him sitting at the edge of the hospital bed. Ikuto looked at her face with a frown.

'Her hair is messy, that's maybe from the running, I guess. And she's sweating despite the cold weather, she willing to SKIP school and ran to the hospital at times like this to see me? Does she really care for me?' He thought as Amu stood by his side, still too happy to say anything until a single drop of tear trickled down her cheeks.

''IKUTO!'' She jumped at him and hugged him tightly which surprised him so much.

''I miss you...'' He couldn't believe it, she said what?

''What?'' Okay, he might've looked stupid but hey, what's a guy gonna do when someone he loves hugs him out of the blue?

''I said, I miss you. Anata ni aitai, Ikuto.'' She was crying in joy seeing him chuckling after hearing her words. Wait a second..

''I-I-I... N-no.. Don't t-take it.. s-so seriously!'' Amu stuttered as she finally realized what she had said, and she was hugging Ikuto for what, a few seconds? Okay, that's a lie. She hugged him for a few good minutes before realizing this. Ikuto was mentally groaning, wanting her warmth on him but he quickly shrugged that thought out from his head as it started be a little more, what should we say? Perverted? xD

''Aww, but are you sure you don't miss me, even a bit?'' He purposely showed her his puppy eyes as she stood a good five inches from him. Amu really can't say no to him after seeing his cute expression.

''A-ano.. Y-yea sure. I m-miss you..'' He smirked and pulled her to him. Amu was surprised but she really do miss him. A hug wouldn't hurt a bit, right?

''I miss you too, Amu...'' He whispered to her as she tried to look at his face. Her face was full of excitement as she smiled warmly at him. Ikuto just couldn't deny to himself that his love for this girl increases with each day that passed by.

''I think you need to rest, ne Ikuto?'' She whispered back to him as she pushed him gently, maybe trying to give him some space to rest. He stubbornly pulled her back to him.

''Yes, I need to. But I'm not going to rest if you're not by my side.'' Amu gaped at his words.

''W-whaaa?''

''Please?''

''O-okay...'' Ikuto motioned her to sleep beside him. Amu blushed furiously but she was pulled gently by Ikuto's hands.

A few hours passed by as they both dozed off into a deep slumber. It was already half past six in the evening when they both woke up. Ikuto smirked seeing her stretching herself while yawning. He decided to tell her something.

''Amu?''

''Mmhmm?''

''I like you.''

''I like you too... Wait, WHAT?'' Amu was utterly surprised, and so was Ikuto.

''Err, I-I think I need to go t-to the toilet. R-rest again, okay? I'll be back i-in a jiffy..'' Amu stuttered as she went outside from Ikuto's room. She was breathing so hard just by thinking of what he said, what she said.

''Ikuto...'' She was seriously confused with her own feelings.


Sasaz: Am I nice or what? *smirks*

Ikuto: Wipe that smirk outta your face, it doesn't suits you.

Sasaz: Oh yes it is! I'm evil.

Utau: You just asked people wether you're nice or not and now you just admitted to them that you're evil. *snickers*

Sasaz: Ergh, just... please just R&R ! And maybe I'll update sooner than this. I mean, no, just... SOON! =.=
