~I am sooo sorry I haven't been posting lately, and plz keep it up with the reviews! I really do appreciate them! So last chapter was really short, and this one is short too, but I promise I will make the next one extra long! Domo-Kun16 luvs Shugo chara and the characters, but sadly she don't own 'em!~

Amu's Pov:

I woke up, sweat all over me, I was in a night gown. My face felt hot, and I was in a dark room with a little sunset poking through the curtains. But I didn't feel alone, I heard a familiar voice but I couldn't make it out. And I was seeing very blurry too. The voices and sight were slowly coming in to focus. I heard Utau, and Ikuto. They were discussing something, Utau sounded like she was crying, and Ikuto sounded pretty sad. I tried to sit up, but I felt pain, and I let out a small cry. Ikuto ran in the room and over to the bed and felt my head, he noticed I was awake and he gave a sad smile,

"Amu, do you know where you are?" I tried to speak but nothing would come out, so I nodded. He continued,

"Amu, earlier you passed out, we thought it was because you were overly tired, but I had a house doctor come in to check on you about 30 minutes ago. He said you have the flu, you also have strep throat, so your tonsils are sore. I won't be going to work, and don't worry about that whole incident with Kuukai and Utau, she knows you meant no harm." I couldn't take everything in at once, I heard all that he said, but almost all of it was awful news. I saw him smile at me and I let out tears, they kept falling, I was already being a bother, but now? I am keeping Ikuto from work and hurting Utau. Ikuto pulled me up and into a tight hug, he stroked my hair and said no more. I tried to hold in my tears but they kept falling. This day was fine until I ruined it!

Ikuto's Pov:

I knew how bad she felt, it was as if each tear was another apology from her, telling me that she was just being a burden, but I didn't say anything, I stroked her sweat-filled hair and hugged her, she finally got to say,

"Ikuto, don't tell my parents, please..I don't want them to come back from their vacation because I ruined it." He laid me back down gently and said,

"I won't but in return you have to do something for me. You have to promise you won't call yourself a burden, I am doing this for you because I want to, and you did the same and more for me." She smiled, her eyes became droopy and she fell asleep saying, "Thank you...Ikuto" I smiled and went back into the family room. Utau was sitting, arms folded, face red and she was holding back tears.

"How is she?" my smile dropped quick,

"She cried when I told her, she is in a lot of pain, and it doesn't help that she thinks she is a burden on us." Utau stood up and got attitude,

"Of course she thinks she is a burden, you have a career and I have school, her family isn't here to comfort her and on top of it, she won't get over what I said to her! Ikuto she sleepwalked into the street once, if Nagi wasn't there then Amu wouldn't be here! What Amu needs is someone who is gonna stay here and put up with all of that, just for her. And I know you think you can, but if you mess up, I won't ever come back here! I am going with Kuukai somewhere!" She said as she got her jacket and slammed the door. Utau is worried, and she feels bad for what she said to Amu. I ran my fingers through my hair and remembered that medicine that Amu was supposed to take, it was a bottle of this purple liquidy goo, I walked into my room to find Amu shaking, she was sweating even more than before, I ran over to her and pulled the covers off, I put my hand on her forehead and she was burning hot. Could this get any worse? I picked her up and took her into the living room where it was cooler and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Ikuto?" I am holding back tears now, she looks so helpless, and sick. And all I can do is provide medicine.

"Amu, you need to take the prescription medicine the doctor gave me." I held a spoon full up to her mouth and she blushed when she opened and put the spoon in. she sat back on the couch and sat silent for a little, I went to the kitchen and washed out the spoon and put the medicine away. I went back to the living room and asked,

"Are you hungry?" She shook her head, but I knew she was. I cooked dinner anyway, I had to eat even if she wasn't going to. I cooked up sticky rice and fried fish. I went into the living room again with a tray of food. She shook her head again so I placed it on the coffee table and ate. She turned on the TV and pulled her knees up to her chest. We both sat still for a little and when commercials came on I said,

"You won't get any better if you don't eat." She put her feet on the floor and said,

"I know you're trying to help, but I can't eat right now, if I do I will throw up, all I need is a shower." I looked back at her and smiled,

"Would you like my assistance?" She blushed and stood up,

"No way PERVE!" and then she stomped over to the bathroom and shut the door.
