Sorry it took so long to get this up but you know how it is with college and all. Anyway this one may leave you hanging there is less romance in this one so sorry to the people who might have liked it better that way. I was trying to introduce a new plot in a way so I had to take away a bit from the cutesy touchy feely parts. Anyway I hope you like it. I believe it may be slightly shorter than the other two and I should be updating usual if you don't like IkkxSimca fanfics then please don't read this. No complaints yet but I have heard a lot of people complain about complaints so just covering the basics.

Ikki gave a sigh of relief upon hearing Ine's voice and attempted to stop his body from shaking.

"Ine this is Ikki. I need your help." His breathing became rapid and ruff. He made an effort to calm himself but to no avail.

"What's wrong Ikki? You sound breathless." She thought out of genuine concern.

Time was running out it had been a few minutes since Simca had fainted and she hadn't gotten up yet. The more time passed the more frantic Ikki became.

"Inepleasehelphershewon'twakeupandsheisn'trespondi ngIdon'tknowwhattodo."

"Ikki please calm down and speak clearly. I can't understand a word you're saying"

Ikki slowed down his breathing and struggled to keep his calm and speak slowly and clearly.

"Please she won't wake up, she just passed out and I don't know what to do."

"Who won't wake up? What's wrong?"

"Simca!"

There was a slight pause. Ikki was beginning to lose hope until she spoke again.

"I'll be right over."

The sounds of chairs moving and footsteps were heard over the phone then there were voices.

"Hey you! Cancel all of my appointments. I will be out for a while."

Then the line went dead and Ikki slowly hung up the phone. Feeling exasperated and weak he made his way back into the guest room where Simca was still lying unconscious. He scanned the room for any place that he could sit and saw the chair that still had a few of Simca's things in them. He shuffled over to the chair looking detached and feeling numb, and slid her clothes into a basket beside the chair and collapsed onto it's sturdy and dependable structure. There he remained until he heard the doorbell ring.

Ikki sprung to his feet and ran for the door. He yanked it open with such force that the door almost separated from its hinges. Ine pushed her way past Ikki and inside the apartment.

"Where is she?" Ine asked looking around the front room. When it seemed apparent to her that Ikki did not hear her she looked over her shoulder and repeated herself this time slightly louder.

"Where is she!"

Ikki looked up at her and lifted his still shaking hand and pointed towards the hallway.

"Third door on the left."

His senses appeared to come back to him and he began to calm down.

"I'll show you." He went to step forward but Ine put her hand up to stop him.

"I can count and I think that you need to sit down for a while. You shouldn't be in there you will only get in my way." Her voice came off cold and detached but her eyes read something else entirely. Her eyes were calm, steady and reassuring and Ikki found comfort in staring at them but he did not agree.

"I can help you. Please!" Gazing upward he pierced her with his auburn colored eyes. His body clenched while he waited for her response.

After a long pause Ine looked up and sighed heavily.

"Fine. Just don't get in my way." She turned away from him and walked towards the bedroom and Ikki followed attentively. She rounded the corner and stopped at Simca's bed.

"You poor thing. Is it the nightmares or the headache that put you in this state huh? Shaking her head she reached into her pocket and pulled out two tissues and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Within seconds more beads of sweat formed on her forehead and trickled down to her neck.

"Get me something cold." Ine barked in a very domineering tone.

She looked back at the wide-eyed Ikki and she snapped her fingers. Ikki jumped and looked down at the petite doctor.

"I said get me something cold to put on her forehead! If you can't even do that then just get out of my way." Her eyes narrowed.

"I can do it!" He said defiantly and he dashed out of the room towards the kitchen.

Ine shook her head and looked back down at Simca.

"What is going on in that head of yours Simca?"

Simca turned her head and her body jumped but she did not wake up. Seeing Simca in this state brought back unfortunate memories for Ine and she thought back to the first time she witnessed Simca in a situation similar to this.

"Ine!"

That voice, she knew it well, the familiar accent, the voice that normally conjured many mixed feelings in her heart rang throughout her condo; but something was wrong, something was off. She turned around to see a breathless soaking wet orange haired man carrying what looked like a lifeless body in his arms.

"What happened!? Who is this?"

The orange haired man tilted the body downwards so that Ine could see it's face.

"Oh my god! Simca!" Ine immediately ran towards the man and Simca.

When she reached the two of them she fell to her knees and stretched out her arms.

"What happened?" She asked as the man slid the body into her arms.

"I found her in the alley like this. Someone said they heard shouting then they saw a few people fleeing the scene." He reached out and stroked the damp hair from Simca's face.

"I….. Ik… Ik….Ikki" Simca moaned.

"What is that what does it mean?" Ine glanced at the man while she struggled to get her soaked clothes off.

"I have no idea. She has been repeating that ever since I found her." He stood up abruptly and ran to the kitchen and found some cloth and dipped it into a sink full of freezing cold water.

Ine slipped off her dress.

"Huh it's funny." She thought to herself. "I normally chastise her about her outfit but now is seems that it was easier to take off."

"Spitfire are you done with the cloths yet?"

Spitfire skidded into the room holding an armful of wet cloths.

"I only needed one. By the time she will need it changed the others will be dry and warm."

Spitfire rolled his eyes and looked down at the woman but said nothing.

"Ikki…. Ikki…. Mina….mi."

Spitfire paused and looked down at Simca with wide eyes.

"What did she just say?"

Ine paused and looked down at the girl as well.

"Itsuki….. Mina…mi"

The two of them looked up and gasped.

"How does she know that name?" Spitfire leaned in close to Ine.

"I have no idea. Doesn't it sound familiar to you?"

"Well Minami is that mans name but the other name. I… I feel like I have heard it before."

Ine placed another cold towel on Simca's head.

"Do you think that person… The one she is talking about. Do you think there is any relation?"

Spitfire shook his head.

"I don't know."

"Ine….. Ine!"

Ine was snapped back into reality. She shook her head and looked up to see a concerned boy looking down at her.

"Are… are you alright?"

Reaching for her head she nodded.

That was strange; that I would have that flashback now. I am not sure but Ikki's name is Itsuki Minami. I wonder if it is him.

"Ye…. Yes. I am fine."

Ikki sighed a sigh of relief.

"That's good to hear. I was afraid that I was going to have to take you both to the hospital." He chuckled lightly and stroked the back of his head.

"That won't be necessary." She straightens up her glasses and stands to face him.

Ikki takes a step back and nervously clears his throat. He glances at Simca as she lay still on the bed.

"I need you to take a step out of the room." Ine steps towards Ikki again and backs him against the door.

"You think that I'm useless is that it! Well I told you that I will help. This happened while she was here. I might have made her condition worse. So I am not leaving this room no matter what!" Ikki breathes roughly at the end of his sentence and stands and prepares himself for whatever she would have to say.

"Hm. Well I was going to undress her. Now you could help wi….

Slam!

Ikki dashes out of the door at top speed and closes it behind him.

"Nope, nope you can do it, its ok." He leans against the door gripping his chest and breathing rapidly.

Ine smiled and looked back down at Simca.

"You sure do have a keeper. He is cute." She steps away from the bed and peers up at the ceiling.

I will find out the truth. It lies somewhere in her memories as well as Spitfire's. He may be dead; but not even the Takeuchi brothers are strong enough to put him down without so much as a scratch. Something is going on here and I will find out what.

She looks over at the door.

Starting with you Itsuki Minami.
