A/N Ikuto: How are they doing that?

Me: *Looks at Kayla and Chelsea* Don't worry, it'll end in three, two, one…

*Amu and her charas enter the room*

Amu: There you are you stupid cat!

Ikuto: Amu?

Amu: *Looks at Kayla and Chelsea* You two? So you're the ones who took the stupid cats.

Kayla: Yeah? Are you mad?

Amu: No, not really, Tadase-kun was just freaking out because his nii-san was missing.

Me: *Sigh* You're going to regret saying that…

Amu: Why?

Me: You'll see…I don't own Shugo Chara!

Ikuto's Point of View~ At the Hospital

"Morning," Nurse Hana said as we entered the hospital.

"Did onee-chan remember?" Ran asked.

Nurse Hana smiled, "Why don't you ask her yourself?"

I turned and saw Amu walk out from behind the desk. She wore a red and black striped long sleeved shirt with black colored jeans and boots and she had two red X clips in her hair. She smiled, "You were right about the notebook Ikuto," she said.

"You remember!" Ran, Miki, and Su yelled and hugged their onee-chan.

I smiled slightly. Amu looked at me, "Thank you Ikuto," she said.

I nodded, "Ikuto-kun," Nurse Hana said.

"Drop the kun," I stated.

"Right," Nurse Hana said, "Amu is able to return to the real world as long as she keeps the notebook, but because of her…parents' death," everyone winced, "And you're still in need of community service hours. Will you be able to house Amu as well as her siblings? It'll count towards you community service."

I looked at Amu then back at Nurse Hana and nodded, "I'd do it even if it didn't help my hours seeing how I'm already watching six Hinamoris."

Amu smiled, "And I expect that you'll help her catch up in school?" Nurse Hana asked.

I nodded, "But right now I have to get these six," I gestured to Ran, Miki, Su, Diane, Diana, and Ami, "To school. Iru, Eru, and Yoru back home before Yukari and Yuu get there and get to school myself and I guess I have to drop you off with Iru, Eru, and Yoru," I said to Amu.

"Ikuto, you're stressing yourself out," Amu said.

"Ikuto, can we still come to your concert?" Eru asked.

I looked at my little sister, "Ask Yukari and Yuu," I said, "Now we have to get going," I said pushing them slightly, "Ami needs to be at school in ten minutes."

I had grabbed Amu's hand as I pushed the nine kids out the door. Once everyone was in the backseat Amu got in the passenger's seat and I got in the driver's seat. Amu picked up my case as we drove, "Is this your violin?" Amu asked.

I nodded, "Yeah," I stated.

"He has a concert with the orchestra of his school," Yoru said, "They literally begged him to be in it."

I sighed in annoyance and Amu looked at me, "Are you really that good Ikuto?" Amu asked.

"I don't think so," I said, "I think they just wanted some eye candy so the school would come to the stupid thing."

"Dad starting teaching him how to play since he was really little," Eru said happily, "I like it when Ikuto plays; we all do."

"Your dad?" Amu asked, "Your real dad?"

I nodded, "Yeah," I said, "He was a natural violin player and that's why our mother fell in love with him."

Amu smiled softly. I pulled into the elementary school, "Alright Ami," I said, "Do one of us need to walk you in or do you know the way?"

"I'm good," Ami said and got out, "Thank you Ikuto, bye onee-chan," Ami hugged Amu before running in.

I ran a hand through my hair before starting for the middle school, "Ikuto," Amu said.

"Hm?" I asked not taking my eyes off the road, but letting her know I was listening.

"Um, is it possible for me to go to high school?" Amu asked.

I glanced at her before quickly going back to the road, "Amu, your mind is still in middle school," I stated, "You won't understand anything."

"I know that," Amu said, "But, I want to see my friends."

I arrived at the middle school and stopped in front of the school. I looked at Amu, "We'll see," I said, "We'll see what Tsukasa says."

Amu smiled brightly, "Alright," I said, "You five, out."

Diane quickly hugged Amu before getting out with her sisters. I then left the middle school and headed for the house, "What are Rima, Kukai, and Nagihiko like now?" Amu asked.

"Mm," I said, "Mashiro is the class president of class 3-A. Souma is the star of the soccer team and the captain of the basketball and baseball team. And Fujisaki is the second most wanted boy in school; second to me that is…"

"Wow," Amu said, "So, they're popular?"

"I guess you could say that," I said, "They don't really show up around school unless need be. Mashiro told me they were all hurt about Hotori's death so they stayed away from you because they couldn't bring themselves to tell you, even if you forgot in the morning."

Amu smiled sadly and moved some hair behind her ear, "Tadase was the one to bring and hold us together," she said softly, "I just can't believe he's gone, along with my parents."

I glanced at Amu quickly, "Well if it helps," I said, "We also lost both our parents."

"I know," Amu said, "And I'm sorry about that. I really should get over this."

"It's hard to get over Amu," I said, "We're not even over our parents' deaths."

"Yeah, but that's because our parents now aren't parents in the slightest," Yoru stated.

"Yoru," I stated, "That may be true, but you don't have to say it out loud."

I pulled into the driveway just as a woman with reddish brown hair and glasses got out of a car. She wore a white, long sleeved shirt with brown pants and white shoes. A man stood beside her. He had orangish brown hair and glasses as well. He wore a black long sleeved shirt with blue jeans and brown shoes. I got out of the car with Amu, Eru, Iru, and Yoru. The woman and man turned to us, "Ah, you must be Ikuto," the woman said, "I'm Nikaidou Yukari and this is my husband, Nikaidou Yuu."

I nodded, "This is Eru, Iru, and Yoru," I said placing a hand on their head as I said their names, "And this is Amu, but she wants to see her friends."

"Oh," Yuu said, "I thought Su-chan said the Amu-chan was in the hospital with short term memory loss?"

"She was," I stated, "But we found a way for her to remember."

"Oh, that's wonderful," Yuu said.

"Also," I said, "I have a concert at 2:00pm this afternoon and these three wanted to go."

"Oh, that shouldn't be a problem," Yukari said.

I nodded, "Also," I said, "There's absolutely no food in the house. I'll go shopping during my lunch break at school, but could you take them out or something? They know how to work the tabs and cards and nothing with whole wheat for Yoru."

"Why don't you have food in the house?" Yuu asked.

"Don't ask," I stated, "Let's just say it's my parents' fault and leave it at that."

"Um, alright," Yuu said.

I nodded and headed for the car with Amu close behind, "Thanks again," I said and got in the car.

I started the car and drove off, "We should be about a half hour early," I said, "That'll give us enough time to talk to Tsukasa."

Amu smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry for pushing so much on you," she said sadly, "You already have so much to do."

"It's fine," I stated, "It's not like I don't do it already."

"But you seemed stressed out," Amu said.

"I'm fine," I stated and parked in the student parking lot, "Now, let's get going."

Amu nodded and we got out of the car. I walked with my hands in my pockets. We entered the office and I let myself into Tsukasa's office, "Ah, Ikuto-kun," Tsukasa said.

"Drop the kun," I stated.

"Who's this?" Tsukasa said smiling.

"Hinamori Amu," I stated and Amu bowed politely, "She's my community service."

"Oh, Nurse Hana told me about her," Tsukasa said smiling, "So, you've gotten passed you memory loss?"

"Not quite," Amu said, "I still need a notebook in order for me to remember."

"Ah," Tsukasa said, "So, what did you need Ikuto-kun?"

I flinched, "Amu wants to see her friends," I said, "She's still in middle school education, but she wanted to see her friends today."

"Ah," Tsukasa said, "That shouldn't be a problem, but you'll be in charge of her Ikuto-kun."

"I know," I stated.

"Would you like me to call them in when classes start?" Tsukasa asked.

Amu nodded and Tsukasa smiled, "And I believe you have a concert to prepare for Ikuto-kun," Tsukasa said, "You have been practicing for this right?"

"I haven't had the time," I stated, "But don't worry, it's a simple piece."

"Simple is usually the hardest Ikuto-kun," Tsukasa said.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance. I heard the bell ring, "Alright," Tsukasa said, "Let's get this surprise underway."

Tsukasa picked up the speaker, "Names?" he asked.

"Mashiro Rima, Souma Kukai, and Fujisaki Nagihiko," Amu said.

Tsukasa smiled then began to talk, "Attention," he said, "I need for Mashiro Rima, Souma Kukai, and Fujisaki Nagihiko to come to my office right now please. Thank you."

Tsukasa smiling and set the speaker down, "Why don't you step into this room until I say," Tsukasa said smiling, "It'll give them a surprise."

Amu smiled and went into the room and closed the door. A few minutes later Mashiro, Souma, and Fujisaki came in, "What is it sensei?" Fujisaki asked.

Tsukasa smiled, "Ikuto-kun has a surprise for you three," he said.

"What?" Souma asked.

I smirked, "Come on," I said to the door.

Amu walked back out smiling. Mashiro about fainted and Souma and Fujisaki were frozen, "A-Amu?" Mashiro asked tears coming to her eyes.

"Hi guys," she said smiling.

"Amu!" they all yelled and ran to her and hugged her.

Mashiro was crying her eyes out and Souma and Fujisaki had a few tears escape. Mashiro turned to me, "Why'd you bring her here?" she asked.

"We've found a way for her to remember everything," I stated.

"What?" Souma asked shocked.

Amu pulled out the notebook and smiled, "The rest might not be as long as the first entry, but," she said, "As long as I keep this record and read them the next morning then I remember everything."

I moved the violin case up more on my shoulder as it was slipping, "Wait, T-Tadase's on this page," Fujisaki said nervously.

Amu nodded, "Ikuto told me about Tadase and my parents," she said, "You didn't have to keep it from me; I would've found out eventually."

"We didn't want to keep it from you Amu," Souma said, "We…we just didn't know how to tell you, I mean you and Tadase were dating."

My entire body froze they were dating! I blinked a couple of times wait, why do I even care who she dates or dated? Amu smiled sadly, "It's fine," she said, "Tadase wasn't the kind of boyfriend I thought he'd be. We just barely got over being friends."

The four of them laughed and for some reason my body relaxed odd, maybe Utau was right. No! There's no way this girl is changing how I think and what I do…wait, aw dang, she is. I closed my eyes for a few minutes, "Amakawa-sensei," a voice came, "Tsukiyomi Ikuto needs to come to the orchestra room for practice."

Tsukasa smiled, "Go on Ikuto-kun," he said.

I huffed in annoyance, "I'm going, I'm going," I stated and left.

No One's Point of View

Amu watched as Ikuto left, "Why did the orchestra beg Ikuto to play?" she asked.

Tsukasa smiled, "Ikuto-kun is very talented with the violin," he stated, "He loves to play it. He used to be part of the orchestra, but he suddenly quit at the end of his first year."

Amu was quiet for a minute, "When did his stepdad remarry?" she asked.

"Hm, I think it was around that time," Tsukasa said, "Why?"

Amu looked at the door then sighed, "Nothing," she said then turned to her friends with a smile, "So, you want to show me what you guys do in high school?"

Rima, Kukai, and Nagihiko all knew the smile was fake, but they wanted to talk about it in private with her, "Can we?" Nagihiko asked Tsukasa.

"Well, seeing how Ikuto-kun is busy, I suppose that would be fine as long as one of you is by her side at all times," Tsukasa said smiling.

Everyone nodded and they left the office, "Okay, spill Amu," Rima said crossing her arms, "What's wrong?"

They were in the hallway and because classes were in session the hallways were totally empty. Amu looked at her friends, "I can't say," she said, "It's Ikuto's decision, but let's just say its family issues."

The three friends sighed, "Alright," Kukai said, "Well, we have to get to class, so pick someone to go with."

"Um…" Rima pulled Amu towards her, "Whoa!"

The boys laughed, "Okay, so Amu's going with Rima," Nagihiko said, "I'm getting jealous, Rima."

Rima glared, "I haven't seen her in two years!" she almost yelled.

Nagihiko smiled, "I know," he said and kissed Rima's cheek, "See you at lunch."

Kukai waved and Amu blinked at Rima, "When did you two start dating?"

"Uh, about a month after Tadase died," Rima said blushing as we walked down a hall.

Amu laughed lightly and they entered the classroom. Everyone looked up and the sensei blinked, "Who's this Rima-chan?" the sensei asked.

"This is my best friend Hinamori Amu," Rima said, "For the past three years she's been in the hospital with short term memory loss, but now she's starting to overcome that. Today, she's just here to observe. She's still on middle school level educationally."

"She's cute," a boy said.

Amu blushed and Rima glared, "Whoever said that better have a death wish," Rima growled.

Everyone gulped and was quiet, "Well, I suppose you could sit in the empty seat over there Amu-chan," the sensei said.

Amu smiled and nodded, "Thank you," she said.

"We have lunch at noon and I'm sure Rima-chan will show you the cafeteria," the sensei said.

Amu nodded and sat down. Of course, Amu didn't understand anything that the teacher was talking about, but she was just glad to be able to see her friends again. Suddenly, Amu saw Ikuto walk past the door. Amu stood up and walked to the door, "Ikuto," she called causing Ikuto to turn, "Where are you going?"

"Shopping," Ikuto stated, "I have to get your siblings lunch and I have to figure out what I can fix without nut related products."

Amu felt guilty, "I'll come with you," she said, "I know what's good and what's not, but don't you have class?"

"Nope," Ikuto stated, "The orchestra sensei got me out of class for practice, but he seems to forget that I'm as sneaky as a cat."

Amu tilted her head slightly, "Okay… but I'm still coming," she said.

Ikuto's Point of View

Amu tilted her head slightly okay…that is way too cute…WAIT! What am I thinking?, "Okay…but I'm still coming," Amu said bringing me from my thoughts.

I sighed, "Alright, let's just go before the orchestra finds me," I said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the parking lot.

We got in the car and drove off without the orchestra finding us, "Ikuto," Amu said, "You will do the concert right?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I'll do it," I stated.

"Tsukasa said that you were part of the orchestra most of your first year," Amu said, "But you quit because your parents were always running off and you had to raise your siblings more than before right?"

She hit the nail on the head… I nodded, "Yeah," I said, "When Kazuomi stopped being the stepdad he acted like when mom was around I took complete charge over Eru, Iru, Yoru, and Utau because he was no longer around; that happened when I was 11. Even though he wasn't much of a dad he still took care of Utau's singing career, but once he remarried…that went down the drain. Utau loves to sing and she was still hot on the charts; I couldn't let Utau or her fans become depressed and upset just because Kazuomi and Airi don't know how to be parents; so I quit the orchestra so I could take Utau to her concerts, photo shoots, recordings, etc."

Amu was quiet, "Ikuto, I'm sorry," she said, "I asked you to do something when I didn't know the whole story or what you've given up already."

"It's fine Amu," I said, "You're not to blame; Airi and Kazuomi are."

I parked in the grocery store parking lot, "Now, let just go get food so we don't starve to death," I said.

Amu nodded and we got out of the car.

A/N Amu: And I can't leave why?

Me: Because you might not end up in your world.

Amu: Oh come on!

Me: R&R please!
