A/N: Squee! I got my first review!
I feel like I just won the lottery!
Okay anyway, here is the fourth chapter! I do not own Shugo Chara and all that, yada yada!
It had been three days since Luna told Kukai her brother was missing, and since she found that strange looking key. Currently, she lay in her bed, holding the key above her.
"I...ku...to.." she whispered. She had no idea why the key reminded her of him, but it did.
"You rang?"
Luna instantly sat up, gripping the key in the palm of her hand. Standing near her balcony door was that strange dark haired boy from before. "She's cute even in her pajamas! Nya!" Yoru suddenly exclaimed. Luna blankly looked down at her black shirt and purple shorts. Ikuto flicked his guardian character and sighed.
"How did you get in?" Luna muttered. Ikuto smirked, walking over to her bed and in one smooth motion, placing himself on top of her. Her silver hair sprawled out against the pillows, and even though she was so close to him, she never appeared flustered. He slowly slipped his hand in hers, gently removing the key from her grip.
"You don't sound so happy to see me..." he whispered.
"Pardon me for not being excited when strangers barge into my home uninvited." she muttered, eyes now narrowing to a glare.
"Ah, so you're actually this cool. It isn't all some act like that Amu girl." he whispered. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she began to squirm under him.
"Why are you on top of me in the first place!" she said. He placed a hand under her chin, gently parting her lips and moving in. When it seemed that their lips would touch, he stopped.
"I can't get you to even blush..." he whispered. Suddenly, she became engulfed in rage.
"Do you take pride in seducing girls, freak?" Luna muttered, her eyes flashing a bright red. The heart in her choker began to glow an odd color and Ikuto smirked yet again.
"Are you character changing? So I have made you flustered...you just have another way of showing it..." he whispered, when suddenly she flipped him over so now she was pinning him down. Her hair fell over her shoulder, and landed against his chest. Ikuto's gaze became shocked, and just the smallest tint of pink was apparent on his cheeks.
Suddenly, Luna's grip on the sheets tightened. Her eyes widened and she became red in the face. Her body gave in on top of him, and her breathing became heavy. "Luna!" Sini shouted, waking up Lei. The two flew over, lifting their owner's face off of Ikuto's chest.
"It hurts...so much..." she muttered, gripping her stomach. Ikuto immediately took action, lifting her off of the bed and holding her in a bridal-style manner.
"I'll get you to a doctor!" he stated. She tried to protest, but the pain was so immense that all she could do was nod.
Ikuto jumped out of her window, running down the sidewalk for awhile before jumping on a wall. Little did he know a pair of eyes had spotted them.
"What is he doing with her?" Kukai muttered, dropping the groceries he was carrying and running after them. When he saw that Ikuto ran in the doors of a hospital, all his anger suddenly vanished and was replaced with concern. He ran in after them, and caught them just in time to see nurses rush a pale Luna off to the emergency room.
Ikuto turned around and immediately glared when he noticed Kukai. "Shouldn't you be in bed, kid?" he muttered. Kukai became enraged. "What's wrong with Luna?" he asked.
Suddenly the harsh look on Ikuto disappeared and he merely smirked, flipping the hair from his sly gaze. "I don't know. We were laying in her bed and she suddenly went out complaining about pain." he said.
"Why were you in her bed you Perv!" Kukai shouted, pulling his fist back to punch him. Ikuto stopped it with the palm of his hand, leaning in to Kukai's now red face.
"You want to be there too...dont you? You're jealous...aren't you?" Ikuto whispered.
"Shutup you creep!" Kukai muttered, pulling his hand away and stomping off toward the waiting area. Ikuto held his smirk, shaking his head and leaning against a wall.
Hours passed by and the two refused to leave, glaring at each other the whole time. A doctor came out, spotting Ikuto and walking over to him. "You must be the young man that brought Miss Nakil in? Thank you so much." he said.
Ikuto nodded, pushing himself off of the wall. "Is she okay? What was wrong?" he asked.
"Miss Nakil had been having appendix issues. She must have been ignoring the pain for quite sometime or else things wouldn't have gotten so serious." the doctor said. Ikuto couldn't help but cock an eyebrow, wondering why the girl would do such a thing. The doctor didn't seem to notice this and continued to explain. "She ignored it for so long that her appendix burst, which is the extreme pain she probably felt when you brought her in. It's a good thing you got here so quickly or else her body would have filled with blood and she would have died." he finished. Ikuto's whole facial expression seemed to change, knowing how close she was to death...and he saved her. "You must be one heck of a boyfriend." the doctor said with a smile.
"HE IS NOT HER BOYFRIEND!" Kukai suddenly jumped in. His body began to fill with rage, and Ikuto restrained him, placing a hand over his mouth.
"May we see her?" Ikuto asked rather calmly. The doctor gave a nod, leading them down the hall to one of the rooms. Once letting them in, he closed the door and left the three alone. Kukai suddenly calmed down, and Ikuto decided it was okay to let him go. Luna slowly turned her head over to look at them and gave her best at a smile. "Ikuto...Kukai...what are you doing here. Its really late isn't it?" she said in a raspy voice.
Before Ikuto had a chance to say anything, Kukai seemed to burst out in anger. "Why were you ignoring the pain!" he said. Her eyes immediately narrowed to a glare, and then she turned her head away from them.
"How could you possibly understand..." she muttered. Kukai seemed to notice how wrong he was for yelling, and immediately softened up. "I did it all for Eric, all I ever did was for Eric! I couldn't let him see me weak when I was all he had left!" Tears were visible and her heart beat began to quicken.
"You could have died Luna...then what would he have..." Kukai whispered, stepping over to the hospital bed and holding her hand. She looked back over at him for a moment then to Ikuto.
"Thank you. To both of you." she whispered. Kukai managed a smile, and somehow so did Ikuto. With those last words...her eyes slowly closed and her breathing began to soften. Kukai slowly slipped his hands from hers and sighed. He was just about to thank Ikuto as well, but when he turned around he was no longer there.
"Eric..." Luna whispered in her sleep. Kukai looked back at her for a moment, giving a sympathetic smile before walking out of the room.
