Chapter 10. Saving Ikuto and Meeting Hotaru.

Zero's POV
"IKUTO!" I screamed as Ikuto fell off the edge of the cliff. I spread my wings out and flew after Ikuto. I flew as fast as I could to try and catch him but my efforts were futile. Ikuto hit the water with a huge splash and I dove in after him. I couldn't see anything because it was dark underwater. The saltwater made my eyes sting but I didn't care. I swam to try to find Ikuto. I kept swimming deeper for a little while longer.

'I can't find him. Should I give up?' I wondered.

I shook my head 'No. I'm not gonna let Ikuto die.'

I searched for a little longer before I felt a hand brush lightly against mine. I grabbed it and swam up, hoping I was holding Ikuto's hand. My head popped up from the water as I wrapped my arms around the person's waist and pulled him up. When I saw the blue hair, I sighed in relief. This was definitely Ikuto. I tried to fly but I couldn't even get out of the water.

'Shit, I can't fly. Guess I have to swim' I thought.

I carried Ikuto on my back (in between my wings.) and swam as fast as I could to shore. It was raining really hard as I predicted. I struggled to keep the waves from pushing us backwards. A huge wave crashed on to up and forced the both of us underwater. I head shot up from the water again and I tried my best to keep Ikuto's head above the water. After a few minutes, we were washed up on the beach. My chest felt like it was burning and my wings were soaked. I eventually started coughing up water. I looked a Ikuto. He didn't move but I knew he was alive. I pushed my hands against Ikuto's chest a few times before he coughed up water. I sighed in relief when I saw Ikuto's chest move up and down. I smiled

'Thank god'

"Are you okay?" a feminine voice asked.

I looked behind me and I saw a girl with purple hair.

Hotaru...

She was holding a black umbrella with red polka dots and she was carrying something on her back. Hotaru ran towards us and I saw the item she was carrying on the back. It was Ikuto's violin.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, not expecting an answer.

"I followed you guys here." Hotaru replied.

"Are you talking to me?" I asked, pointing a finger at myself.

"Yeah, I'm talking to you."Hotaru said.

"You can see me?"

Hotaru just nodded.

"Call an ambulance."I commanded.

Hotaru already had her cell phone in her hand.

"I'm way ahead of ya." she said while she dialed the numbers.

A few minutes later, Ikuto was being wheeled into the ambulance. i refused to let tears fall from my eyes as I watched. Hotaru whispered something in my ear.

"Can you come with me to my house?"

"Right now? I have to watch Ikuto." I said.

"It's okay. The paramedics will take care of him." Hotaru whispered.

She walked a few steps before turning around and waved her hand to signal me to come along. I hesitated before following her.

At Hotaru's house...
Hotary took out a key and opened the door. I followed her inside.

"So why do you need me here?" I asked.

Hotaru ignored me and walked down the hallway into the bathroom. I saw the pull out a hair drier and she plugged it in.

"What are doing?"

"You can't fly when your wings are soaking wet like that, can you?" Hotaru asked.

I sighed "I guess not."

"Turn around." Hotaru commanded.

I did just that. Hotaru turned on the hair drier. I felt Hotaru's fingers run through my feathers as well as the hot air blowing on to them.

"Okay! I'm done!"Hotaru chirped as she turned off the hair drier. I reached around to touch my wings. They felt softer than usual and they were a little warm from the heat from the hair drier but most importantly, they were completly dry.

"Thanks." I said.

"No problem." Hotaru replied as she put away the hair drier.

She went out to the living room and looked out the window.

"Tsk. It's still raining." Hotaru said with a disappointed tone.

She looked at me. "I guess I'm gonna keep you here until the rain stops. I don't want you getting you wings wet again."

"You sound like my mom." I said.

Hotaru giggled. "Wait here." she said as she walked into the kitchen.

I sat on the couch while I waited for her. A few minutes later, Hotaru appeared with a tray in her hands. She set the tray down and she poured tea into two teacups and handed me one. I took a few sips before setting the cup down on the table. Hotaru pointed to a plate of ohagi* on the table.

"Go ahead and have one" she said "Don't worry, I didn't put needles in it"(A/N: Lol Higurashi reference!)

I gave her a suspicious look before I took a bite out of the ohagi. My face lit up as I took another bite.

"You like it?" Hotaru asked.

I swallowed the last bit ohagi before answering.

"This is really good. Did you make it?" I asked.

"Yeah I did. I'm glad you like it!" Hotaru said with a smile on her face.

"Oh hey, I forgot to ask you. What's your name?"she asked.

"It's Zero Kiryu." I replied.

"Thats a nice name. It totally suits you" Hotaru said. "I'm Hotaru Miyamoto. Nice to meet you."

"Same here" I said "Can I ask you something?"

"Okay, what is it?"

"How can you see me?" I asked "I mean, normal people can't see guardian angels."

"I really have no idea."Hotaru said "I guess you can say I have 'the sight'. You're not the only one I can see. I can see Rima Mashiro's guardian angel too."

'Wow. This girl is really nice. She's not creepy like everyone else says.' I thought.

We continued talking for what seemed like hours. Hotaru looked out the window.

"Oh look! It stopped raining and it's 6 o'çlock!" she said "Wanna go visit Ikuto at the hospital?"

I nodded.

"Okay let me go change first." Hotaru said before she ran to go change.

A minute later, Hotaru appeared wearing a black t-shirt with blood stained angel wings on it, a gray long sleeved shirt under it, dark skinny jeans with a suspender hanging from one side, and black high top converse sneakers. She had Ikuto's violin strapped to her back.

"Come on!" Hotaru chirped.

I got up and followed her out the door. Hotaru grabbed her skateboard, hopped on and sped off. Twenty minutes later, we were at the hospital. Hotaru picked up her skateboard and walked in.

"I'm looking for Ikuto Tsukiyomi."" Hotaru said to the receptionist at the front desk.

The receptionist typed something to the computer.

"Tsukiyomi-san is in room 319" the receptionist told Hotaru.

Hotaru thanked the receptionist before she headed to the elevator. She pressed the 3 button and the elevator doors opened a few seconds later. Hotaru walked down the hall until she stopped at room 319. She knocked on the door before she opened it.

"Sorry for the intrusion." she said quietly.

Ikuto was lying on the bed, unconscious. There were a couple of tubes connected to his arm which was covered in scars. Utau was sitting beside him.

"What are you doing here, Creep?" Utau demanded.

Hotaru took the violin and put it on a nearby chair.

"Returning this, Incest Freak." she replied with an annoyed tone.

Utau was clearly pissed. "Ikuto and I may be siblings but-"

Hotaru cut her off. "Your love for Ikuto is the purest form of love there is and Ikuto will relize his feelings for you eventually."she said in a high pitched voice, mocking Utau. "I get it. It's still incest, baka."

"So you understand. Thanks for the violin, can you leave now?" Utau asked.

"I was about to, but since it pisses you off, I think I'll stick around." Hotaru said.

Utau glared at her. Hotaru just smirked and leaned against the wall. The door opened slightly and Kukai poked his head through the crack.

"Did he wake up yet?" he asked.

Utau shook her head. Kukai's gaze shifted to Hotaru.

"Hey, Miyamoto." he said.

"Yo, Souma." Hotaru replied.

"Hey Utau, you hungry? There's a ramen shop nearby if you wanna go" Kukai said.

"I would like to come but..." Utau trailed off, glaring at Hotaru.

Hotaru rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, I won't make a move on Ikuto."

"You better not, or else.." Utau didn't finish her threat. She headed out the door.

Hotaru sighed. "Mou... Why is she threatening me? Even she knows I can kick the shit out of her without breaking a sweat" she said to herself.

I walked over to Ikuto. I looked at Ikuto and almost instantly, tears started leaking out of my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. My tears splashed onto Ikuto's face and he slowly opened his eyes.

Ikuto's POV
I woke up. Slowly opening my eyes. My entire body felt numb. If I moved, it's would hurt. Someone hovered over me.

"Good, you're finally awake." a girly voice said.

It took a few seconds for my vision to focus on the person hovering over me.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"You're at the hospital." Hotaru said.

I looked up at her."What are you doing here?"

"Visiting you, what else?"Hotaru replied. "Kukai and Utau are here too."

"What happened?"I asked.

"If I remember correctly, you jumped off a fucking cliff and tried to kill yourself." Hotaru explained. "I was the one who called for an ambulance so do I get a thanks?"

"You should've let me die. Why bother saving my life?" I said.

"Who said I was the one that saved you? I called for an ambulance but I did not save you." Hotaru said."But I know who did."

A secretive smile was plastered on her face.

"If it wasn't you that saved me, then who did?" I asked.

"If you really want to know." Hotaru said. "It was your guardian angel."

Before I could say anything, Hotaru grabbed her skateboard and headed out the door.

'Guardian angel? What does she mean?'
