A/N Kayla: We're back!

Chelsea: And we caught a cat!

Me: *Blinks then hits head* You didn't bring Ikuto did you?

Kayla: No, of course not. We brought Ikuto AND Yoru!

Me: *Hits head repeatedly on wall* IDIOTS!

Ikuto: Why am I here?

Me: Don't ask. I don't own Shugo Chara and my friends are complete and total bakas!

Ikuto's Point of View

I left the hospital a little early because I needed to get the bigger car. I sighed why is it so hard to say no to that girl? I turned to my siblings, "You coming or staying here?"

"I'm coming," Yoru said and Iru and Eru nodded.

I sighed, "Alright, let's go," I said.

First I had to go to Seiyo Elementary then to the middle school. I started the almost limo-sized car how was that girl able to get me to do this?

Flashback

"What is it?" I asked turning back to Amu.

Amu took a deep breath then answered, "Can you take in Ran, Miki, Su, Diane, Diana, and Ami? I don't want them living off the hospital food here."

I looked at Amu in shock, "You're… in trusting me with your siblings' wellbeing?"

Amu nodded, "With what I've seen of how you treat your siblings, and from what I remember from my dream, which apparently was real, you seem trustworthy," she said smiling lightly, "Please Ikuto."

I looked at Yoru, Iru, and Eru then back and Amu and sighed, "Alright, I'll watch them," I said.

I arrived at the elementary school, "Wait here," I stated to my siblings.

I got out of the car and walked into the elementary school where kids were being picked up by parents. I spotted Ami running around a sensei. Ami stopped when she saw me, "Ikuto-kun!" she laughed.

I winced, but smiled at the sensei, "I'm here to get Ami," I stated.

The sensei blinked and Ami even looked a little confused, "Um, Ami," the sensei said, "Do you know this boy?"

Ami nodded, "Ikuto-kun!" she said happily, making me wince again.

"Ami," I stated, "What have I said about the kun?"

Ami put her hands to her mouth, "Gomen," she said quietly.

I just sighed and turned to her sensei, "I'll be picking Ami up from now on," I stated, "As well as her sisters. I know their onee-chan, Hinamori Amu, and she wants me to watch them until she's able to beat her short term memory loss."

"Oh," the sensei said, "Well, alright. Do your parents know of this?"

I took Ami's hand gently, "No," I stated, "And they aren't my parents. I've been raising my own four younger siblings for at least seven years now."

Ami's sensei blinked then nodded, "If you need any help all of us here will be glad to help," she said.

I just nodded and walked Ami outside, "So, onee-chan wants me to live with you?" Ami asked.

I nodded, "You and you other onee-chans," I stated.

Ami nodded then got in the back of the car with Iru, Eru, and Yoru. I got in the driver's seat and started for the middle school, "Will those five even believe that Amu said for them to stay with us?" Yoru asked.

"While you three were taking a nap," I stated, "Amu had Nurse Hana call Ran and explain what Amu wanted. So, yeah, I think we're good."

I parked in front of the school since the middle schools weren't out yet. I got out of the car and waited. I sighed again when did my life get so complicated? I heard the bell ring and kids started filing out. I quickly spotted the five Hinamori siblings just as they spotted me. They walked over to the car and Su gulped slightly, "I'm not gonna kidnap you," I stated then smirked, "Now get in the car and I'll take you so you can go see Amu."

The five brightened slightly and got in the back of the car with the others. I got in the driver's seat, "Is everyone comfortable or do I need to call the limo?" I asked.

"We're good!" Yoru said quickly.

I chuckled and started the car. None of us really like that limo. The only time we use it is if we have to go to one of Utau's concerts. I arrived back at the hospital a few minutes later, "Just leave your stuff in here," I stated, "We'll head home after you six see Amu, alright?"

Everyone nodded and we got out. Nurse Hana smiled as we entered, "Welcome back," she said.

We just nodded and entered Amu's room, "Onee-chan!" Ami yelled happily.

Amu was writing in the gray notebook when we came in. Amu smiled at Ami and hugged her, "What's with the notebook?" Miki asked.

"It's something Ikuto came up with," Amu said, "I write down what happens each day so that I can read it in the morning."

Ran, Miki, Su, Diane, and Diana turned to me, "You came up with that?" Diana asked then chuckled, "I highly doubt that."

Iru burst out laughing, "I like this girl!" she said while laughing.

I glared at Iru, "Keep this up and you'll just be having crackers for dinner," I said.

Iru stopped laughing and glared at me. I smirked then turned to Amu, "I'll be back tomorrow to let these six see you," I said.

Amu nodded and turned to her siblings, "Ran," she said, "Have you guys been doing your homework and keeping up with your grades?"

Ran, Miki, and Su stiffened; Diane looked away; and Diana crossed her arms. I blinked, "Really?" Amu and I said in unison.

Eru and Ami chuckled and Amu blushed lightly, but it quickly faded, "Guys, why?" Amu asked.

"We, um," Ran tried, "We don't know…I guess we just got distracted by mama and papa and you being in the hospital…"

Amu sighed, "Ikuto, can I ask you another favor?" she asked.

I sighed, "Way ahead of you Amu," I said, "Alright, let's go everyone."

Diane hugged Amu before she left; "Be good," Amu called, "And thanks again Ikuto."

I nodded and left with everyone, "See you tomorrow Ikuto-kun," Nurse Hana said.

"Drop the kun," I stated and walked outside.

All nine kids were in the back, "Alright," I said, "I'm going to stop by McDonalds and then, when we get home, we're eating then you five," I looked at the Hinamori siblings, minus Ami, through the mirror as I left the parking lot, "Are starting your homework. I'll help with whatever you need, but no TV. And Yoru," I looked at my blue haired brother, "You'll be doing the same work as Diane and Diana. Understand?"

"Hai," Ran, Miki, Su, Diane, Diana, and Yoru said in unison.

"And if Diane got your work, Eru and Iru, that goes the same for you," I stated.

Iru groaned and Eru sunk in her seat, "Don't do that," I stated to Eru, "You'll have to keep that cast on longer and I don't feel like explaining things to Airi and Kazuomi."

Eru sat back up, "Gomen," Eru said quietly.

I sighed, "Guys," I said keeping my eyes on the road, "Amu and I aren't mad. We just expected more from you. Ran, you seemed to be in charge of your siblings. So that meant you had to make sure all this stuff was being done."

"Gomen," Ran said sadly.

I sighed, "It's not your fault Ran," I said, "You didn't know what to do. Now, do any of you have food allergies?"

"Um, we're all allergic to nuts, including onee-chan," Miki said.

I looked at them from my mirror, "Seriously? Okay, half of the cabinets are going in the trash," I stated mostly to myself.

"Ikuto-k…er…Ikuto," Su said.

I smirked to myself, "What is it Su?" I asked as I parked in McDonalds' parking lot.

"You said that your sister is Tsukiyomi Utau right~ desu?" Su asked.

"Yeah, I have to pick her up Friday morning, why?" I asked.

"Well, you said you needed to find her a manager right~ desu?" Su asked.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"Well, my friend Sanjo Kairi said that his sister, Nikaidou Yukari, just graduated from collage majoring in managing and business," Su said, "You could try her. I've met her. She's very determined in that field."

I was quiet for a while, "We'll see what Utau says on Friday," I said and got out, "Now let's go. I'm not going through the drive thru."

The nine kids filed out of the car and entered the fast food building.

At the house…

"Alright, eat then do your homework. Oh, and no sleeping till it's done, Yoru," I stated.

Yoru groaned, but ate his fries. I pulled out my phone and turned it back on.

11 missed calls

10 voice messages

1 text message

I sighed and went through the missed calls Airi, Airi, Airi, Airi… I sighed again delete, delete, delete, delete. I rolled my eyes and was about to shut my phone in annoyance when I noticed that one of the missed calls and the text message was from Utau.

Ikuto, I'm guessing Airi got on ur last nerve so u turned off ur phone. Anyway call me whenever u get this. Thanks.

I hit the green button on my phone which called Utau's cell phone, "Hello?" Utau said.

"Hey, sorry about that," I said, "Got a little busy and forgot to turn my phone back on."

"Its fine," Utau said, "I just wanted to let you know that we're finishing earlier than planned. I should be back by tomorrow night."

"Okay, well, a heads up," I said, "Amu's siblings are staying with us for the time being and no, Airi and Kazuomi don't know."

Utau sighed, "When did you become a softy?" she asked.

"I am not a softy!" I yelled.

"Uh-huh…" Utau said, "I want to meet this Amu chick…she seems to be changing you Ikuto."

"She's not changing me Utau and if you keep this up then you'll be sitting at the airport till Friday morning," I stated.

Iru giggled, "Can you do that anyway?" she asked.

"Iru…" I warned.

"Alright, alright," Utau said, "She's not changing you…so changing you," she muttered the last part.

"I heard that," I stated then sighed, "See you tomorrow Utau."

"Bye," Utau said and hung up.

I closed my phone and sighed in annoyance. I looked at Yoru, Iru, and Eru, "What am I going to do with you four?" I said then smirked.

Yoru laughed, Iru smirked, and Eru giggled. I looked at the Hinamori siblings, "Finish up," I stated, "You six have school in the morning."

I turned to my siblings, "Now…the problem…what do I do with you three?"

Eru looked down and I sighed and ran a hand through my hair and leaned my head against couch ugh, too much stuff, not enough time to figure it all out… I pulled out a piece of paper and started making a list of things I had to do before I went to bed or went to school in the morning.

To Do Tonight or Tomorrow:

Clean out cabinets of any nut related products.

Find someone to watch Iru, Eru, and Yoru.

Get everyone ready and to school then get to school myself.

Take Hinamoris to see Amu both in the morning and after school.

Somehow keep parents in the dark.

Pick Utau up tomorrow night.

Make sure everyone does homework and stays out of trouble.

I stopped the list there and ran a hand through my hair again, "Oh, good grief…" I muttered.

I looked up and saw everyone crowded around the coffee table doing and talking about homework. I sighed with relief. The next thing I knew was complete blackness.

No One's Point of View

There was a soft thud that caused everyone to turn, "Oh," Su said, "Poor Ikuto~ desu."

Ran picked up the piece of paper he was working on, "Uh guys," she said, "I think Ikuto's going to stress himself out."

Ami yawned and Ran picked her up, "Come on," she stated to Ami, "Bedtime."

Ran went upstairs then froze, "Uh, which rooms can we use?" she asked.

"Any of them," Yoru said, "Except for the first ones on the left of each floor; those are our rooms."

"Got it," Ran said and continued upstairs.

Su stood up and got a blanket from behind the couch and covered Ikuto with it, "I'm afraid if I wake him he'll just start the list~ desu," Su said.

Ran came downstairs just as she said that, "Good thinking," she said, "And he doesn't have to clean out his cabinets. We're pretty good at telling when nuts are in something."

"I'm sure Ikuto has his reasons," Miki stated, "I mean, the first time I was here he got mad, and I mean mad, when I told him to fix these three sandwiches. How was I supposed to know Yoru was allergic to whole wheat?"

"Wait what?" Yoru asked, "I am?"

Everyone turned to Yoru, "You're joking?" Miki said, "You don't know about your own allergy?"

Yoru shook his head, "I remember eating a sandwich at school once then getting a bad rash, but I was sitting in a bush and Ikuto said it was poison ivy," he said.

"Well," Miki said, "Ikuto said you were allergic to whole wheat."

"Oh," Yoru said, "That would explain why I don't get sandwiches at school anymore, but why wouldn't Ikuto just tell me?"

"Maybe he didn't want you to feel different or out of place," Diane said, "You know how the kids in our class are about even the slightest difference."

"Oh," Yoru said, "I guess you're right."

"Ikuto's going to stress himself out one of these days," Iru stated crossing her arms.

Ran picked up the list again then smirked, "Why don't we help Ikuto out?" she said, "First…let's get this homework done or Ikuto and onee-chan will have our heads."

Ikuto's Point of View

I opened my eyes, wait I fell asleep! I sat up oh dang it… I picked up the list and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, "Huh?" I said slightly confused.

Numbers 1, 2, and 7 had notes next to them, but they weren't in my handwriting.

Clean out cabinets of any nut related products. Done~ Yoru

Also threw out all the whole wheat stuff~ Ran

Find someone to watch Iru, Eru, and Yoru. Done.

Yukari and her husband, Yuu, will watch them. They'll be over at 7:30~ Su.

Make sure everyone does homework and stays out of trouble. We'll stay out of trouble~ everyone

We make no promises~ Iru and Diana

I blinked okay…that's shocking. I looked at the clock in the living room and found it five in the morning. I sighed and got off the couch and went up to the third floor and into my room. I changed into my school uniform and headed downstairs and into Yoru's room and turned the light on, "Up," I stated, "You may not have school, but I have to make sure you eat."

Yoru groaned and slowly sat up, "I'm up, I'm up," he muttered.

I nodded and left the room and entered Iru and Eru's room and flipped the light on. Iru groaned and Eru whined, "Come on you two," I stated, "Where are the Hinamoris sleeping?"

Eru sat up and rubbed her eye with her non casted arm, "Right side of the hall," she muttered.

I nodded and left the room. I entered the first room and turned the light on and found Ran in the bed. She groaned, "Come on," I stated, "Time to get up."

Ran sat up and her hair was a mess. I chuckled softly, "Get dressed and go to the living room."

Ran groaned again, but nodded. I left the room and went to the next one and did the same thing only found Ami in the bed with Miki must've had a nightmare. Both girls groaned as the lights came on, "Come on," I said, "Hurry up and get dressed and get down to the living room."

"What time is it?" Miki asked.

"Around five in the morning, now get up," I stated.

Oh for the love of…REALLY!" Miki yelled.

"Yes, now up," I stated.

"Gonna kill you…" Miki muttered.

"Someone's not a morning person," I stated then left.

I went into the next room and turned the light on and Su was in the bed. Su, unlike everyone else, didn't groan or anything; she just opened her eyes sleepily; "Come on Su," I said, "Time to get up."

Su sat up and yawned well, that was easy. I left the room and went to the next one and turned on the light. I blinked in shock okay…is this a twin thing? Diane was on the bed and Diana was on a futon on the floor, "Come on you two," I said, "Up time."

Diane sat up and even though her hair was out of its pigtails it wasn't messy in the slightest. Diana on the other hand, looked worse than Ran. I smirked, "Come down to the living room when you're done," I said then left.

I went down to the living room then into the kitchen, "What do we even have left to fix?" I wondered.

I looked in the cabinets; they were literally bare. I sighed, "This is not good…" I stated.

I sighed and tried the fridge; nothing. Note to self: Go to store during lunch. Wait, lunch…I groaned out loud worst day ever… I sighed and grabbed my keys just as Ran came downstairs, "Watch everyone," I stated, "I'll be right back."

Ran blinked as I closed the door.

Ran's Point of View

I came downstairs wearing a light pink tank top with a red jacket and light blue jeans. I saw Ikuto walking out the door, "Watch everyone," he said as he opened the door, "I'll be right back."

I blinked in shock as the door closed, "Where'd Ikuto go?" Yoru asked yawning.

"I have no idea," I said.

Yoru wore a dark blue long sleeved shirt and dark blue jeans and his hair was a mess, "Well, he wouldn't leave without a reason," Iru stated with her twin sister beside her.

Iru wore a red long sleeved shirt and matching jeans while Eru wore a pale yellow long sleeved shirt and blue jeans, "I'm watching TV," Yoru stated and sat on the couch and turned the TV on.

"What's going on?" Diana asked with Diane, Miki, Ami, and Su behind her.

Diana wore her hair in its normal ponytail and wore a black dress with gray buttons that came down to her knees and black knee high tights. Diane wore her hair in their normal pigtails and wore a yellow version of Diana's dress with white knee high tights (must be a twin thing because Miki, Su, and I don't do that). Miki wore a light blue long sleeved shirt and blue jeans and her blue hat. Ami had on a plain white long sleeved dress that came to her ankles. Su had on a light green shirt with a white jacket over it and blue jeans, "Ikuto left for some reason," I answered Diana's question.

"Why?" Miki asked, "He wakes us up at five in the morning then leaves? Oh…I need something hard for when he gets home."

"You are not a morning person Miki~ desu," Su said and sweat dropped.

"I know that!" Miki snapped.

I sighed, "Calm down," I said, "I'm sure everything is fine."

"Wait," Iru said, "Didn't you and Yoru throw out all the food we had because it all had nuts and/or whole wheat in it?"

I went wide eyed, "So that's it," I said, "Ikuto went to get us something for breakfast."

A few seconds later Ikuto came in with three bags in each of his hands, "Ikuto?" I asked, "Are you okay?"

"Fine," he stated and went into the kitchen.

It was quiet as Ikuto cooked.

Ikuto's Point of View

Okay, during lunch break I need to pick up lunches for everyone, go shopping, and figure out what time Utau's going to be here… I groaned and put eggs and bacon on plates and I still need to take everyone to see Amu and get them to school and Yoru, Eru, and Iru back here before Yukari and Yuu show up. Too much to do… I set plates in front of everyone and sat on the floor next to Eru and Diane, "Thank you Ikuto," everyone said.

I just nodded, "I'll bring everyone lunch once I have my lunch break," I stated, "Now everyone eat or we won't have time to go visit Amu before school."

We all ate and I thought of everything I had to do I can't do this all by myself. I have to do figure out what to do, "Ikuto!" I heard Iru yell.

I blinked, "Huh?" I asked.

"You have your orchestra concert this afternoon," Eru said, "And the middle school is going."

I groaned, "I completely forgot that they begged me to do that," I said.

"They begged?" Miki asked.

I sighed and stood up, "Yep," I said, "They need money and all the students, minus a few like me or whatnot and they think I'm some sort of natural when it comes to playing the violin."

"Well, dad did start teaching you when you were able to hold something in your hands," Iru said.

I smirked lightly, "That may be, but that doesn't mean I'm a natural, Iru," I said then went upstairs.

"Yeah, we'll see," Iru stated smirking, "Just how many times did you look at that violin solo of yours?"

I stopped at the top of the stairs, "Once or twice," I stated, "Go ahead and get in the car guys. I'll be there once I get my violin."

With that I headed up to my room. I sighed and entered my room. I grabbed my gray violin case. I opened the case to make sure it was inside. I unconsciously smiled as I looked at it. I actually love to play the violin; it's the only thing that reminds me of my parents. I sighed and closed the case and put it on my shoulder and headed downstairs. I grabbed the keys to the car and headed out.

A/N Ikuto: What's with these two? They haven't blinked in an hour.

Kayla and Chelsea: *Staring at Ikuto*

Me: *Sigh* This is going to end very badly…

Yoru: Why~ nya?

Me: You'll find out…R&R!
