A/N Amu: PERVERT!

Ikuto: *Chuckles* This is much easier with that crazy girl out cold.

Me: *Sigh* Chelsea…do the disclaimer please.

No One's Point of View

Ikuto, with Amu in his arms; Musashi, and Iru stood in front of Airi and Kazuomi, who were glaring; while Ran, Miki, with Ami in her arms; Su, Diana, Diane, who was allowed to walk around; Yoru, Eru, Utau, who was pressed fearfully into Kukai; Rima, Nagihiko, and Yaya, who was whimpering into Kairi; were behind them. Yukari, Yuu, and Nurse Hana decided to stay in the waiting room, "Ikuto-kun," Airi said moving her black hair from her dark green eyes glaring, "What's going on here!"

Ikuto stayed quiet and Iru gripped her nii-san's pants in fear, "Who's that girl?" Kazuomi asked angrily.

"Amu," was all Ikuto said.

Amu gulped nervously, "Ikuto-kun, I want to know the whole story now!" Airi yelled.

"It's none of your business!" Ikuto yelled, "Nothing in our lives is your business!"

"Ikuto-kun, we're your parents-"

"No, no you're not!" Ikuto yelled, "You're gone most of the time trying to take Easter away from us. You two are nothing but Gold Digging-"

Kazuomi slapped Ikuto in the face causing him and Amu to fall to the ground, "Ikuto! Amu!" everyone yelled.

Ikuto rubbed his cheek and glared fire at his step parents, "You'll not speak to us in that matter Ikuto-kun," Kazuomi yelled, "You are underage and you are not to speak to your parents like that."

"Fine!" Ikuto yelled standing up, "I know I'm underage, but the least you could do is at least try and act like parents instead of trying to get the money and Easter in your greedy little hands! You can do whatever you want to me, but Yoru, Iru, Eru, and Utau have nothing to do with this!"

"You have no right to call us greedy!" Airi yelled.

"But you are!" Ikuto yelled, "You care about nothing more than our money and power at Easter! You knocked me down when you obviously saw that Amu was hurt!"

"She's just a baka friend of yours," Kazuomi yelled, "You go through friends faster than a lap at the American NASCAR."

Something in Ikuto snapped, "Amu has nothing to do with this!" he snapped, "This is between you two and me!"

"What are you talking about?" Airi yelled.

"Don't play dumb," Ikuto yelled, "Ever since you two got married you've constantly been to court to try and change when I would take over Easter. Mother made sure the company would go to me because she knew you were nothing but a power hungry man!"

"Ikuto-kun!" Airi and Kazuomi yelled.

"It's true and the five of us know it!" Ikuto yelled, "I know that you managed to change the terms so that if I don't merry by the time I turn 20 then all rights to Easter go to you two!"

Amu went wide eyed, "But as of right now," Ikuto said, "The house, Easter, and the money are mine and my sibling's."

Kazuomi glared, "That may be so Ikuto-kun, but as of right now all contracted members of Easter are under my control," he said, "That includes Utau."

Utau whimpered and buried her face into Kukai who held her tight and whispered things in her ear. Rima and Nagihiko were in complete and utter shock; they never knew Ikuto's life was like this, "You're wrong," Ikuto yelled, "Utau is contracted by her manager not you!"

"And Utau doesn't have a manger," Airi stated.

"Wrong," Ikuto stated and looked at Yukari, "Nikaidou Yukari is her manager."

Yukari went wide eyed slightly, but it wasn't because she didn't know she was Utau's manager, but that Ikuto actually said it and that she had that much responsibility over Utau. Airi and Kazuomi turned to Yukari anger clearly on their face. Yukari yelped slightly at the glares and Nurse Hana shivered at the intensity of them even though they weren't directed at her, "You had no right to do that Ikuto-kun!" Kazuomi yelled.

"Yes I did!" Ikuto yelled, "I've been Utau's manager for the past three years because you two couldn't stay in Japan long enough for her to reach her full poetical as a singer! And because I was her manager I have every right to appoint her a new one if I so choose, which I did."

Airi and Kazuomi were quiet and glaring hard. Ikuto went over to Amu and picked her back up and walked her into the waiting room with Yukari, Yuu, and Nurse Hana, "Ikuto-kun!" Airi yelled, "We're not finished yet!"

Ikuto set Amu in a red colored chair then glared at his step parents, "What else could you possibly say?" Ikuto asked walking back out, "You've already ruined all our lives, you've gotten what you wanted because no girl will ever love me for me and not my money or power, so what else could you possibly want to say!"

Kazuomi crossed his arms, "An apology," he stated.

"There is absolutely no way I'm apologizing to you two!" Ikuto yelled.

"You turn 19 today Ikuto-kun," Airi stated, "You have one more year to merry or we get everything. So you may want to get on our good side."

Ikuto growled, "You think I care!" Ikuto yelled, "Money has caused me nothing but trouble! I've not had any friends because of Easter and everyone in this household, except for you two, is completely miserable!"

"Ikuto-kun!" Airi yelled angry.

Ikuto was about to yell some more, but he started coughing instead, "Ikuto!" Amu yelled and ran to him forgetting about her twisted ankle.

Ikuto fell to the ground coughing heavily, "Ikuto!" Yoru, Iru, Eru, and Utau yelled running to their nii-san.

Amu felt his forehead and went wide eyed, "His fever's back!" she yelled shocked.

"Oh, please," Airi said, "It's obvious he's faking it."

Amu's eyes flashed an emotion, "Uh oh," Ran, Miki, and Su said in unison.

"What?" Rima asked.

"You've never seen onee-chan when she snaps…" Miki stated and covered Ami's eyes.

Amu growled dangerously causing the Tsukiyomi siblings to look at her confused. Amu stood up once again the fact that her ankle is twisted completely forgotten, "Take, that, back," Amu growled.

"What?" Kazuomi said, "Ikuto-kun's obviously fak-"

Kazuomi was suddenly kicked in the head and sent into a wall. Everyone's mouths dropped except for the Hinamori triplets. Amu glared hard at Airi and she backed away, "Um, nice girl…" she said, "Someone one knows judo."

"Actually, three different forms of martial arts," Ran stated, "Though they only come out when she snaps…like now."

Amu was glaring hard, "Alright," a voice said, "That's enough."

Everyone turned, "Tsukasa?" Ikuto said weakly.

"Who are you?" Airi asked.

"I'm Ikuto-kun's principal," Tsukasa said, "And I've seen enough."

Amu was now calm and bent down to Ikuto, "Everything is starting to come into the light," Tsukasa said, "This explains Ikuto-kun's misbehavior, his constant early dismissals, and why he quit the orchestra. I always thought he was in denial when he said you two weren't his parents, but now I see what he meant."

"Well, even if you do, you can't do anything about this," Airi stated, "You're just a principal of a high school."

Ikuto coughed and Amu moved some of his hair off his sweating face, "I may be a principal now, but before I was I was the number one lawyer in Japan and America," Tsukasa stated.

Ikuto blinked then groaned weakly. Amu pulled Ikuto close to her and ran a hand through his hair trying to get him to sleep. Airi and Kazuomi blinked, "Well it doesn't matter how good you are," Kazuomi stated standing up and rubbing his head, "You can't change the terms, no one can. Ikuto-kun has one year from today to merry or they lose everything."

"Don't count on that," Utau growled.

"Now, unless you want to be in court," Tsukasa said, "I suggest you stay away from the Tsukiyomis. They seem to be fine raising themselves."

Ikuto had fallen asleep before Tsukasa finished. Airi and Kazuomi glared before stomping out of the hospital. Amu sighed with relief as she continued to run her hand through Ikuto sweaty locks. Tsukasa walked over with Yukari and Yuu not far behind, "So, this is why Ikuto-kun wasn't at school," Tsukasa said.

Amu nodded, "He's been doing everything from making sure Yoru, Utau, Eru, and Iru are fed to Utau's singing career," she said, "He gets sick often apparently."

"Hmm," Tsukasa said thoughtfully, "Well, this certainly explains a lot of Ikuto-kun's behavior."

"Why are you here anyway?" Nagihiko asked.

"I came to check on Ikuto-kun's community service," Tsukasa said, "I got here just before all the yelling started."

Amu nodded, "Why are all of you here?" Tsukasa asked.

"My sister, Diane," Amu gestured to Diane, "Was forced to eat nuts by a boy named Aki. All of us Hinamoris are deathly allergic to nuts and Diane almost died today…actually she did for about two minutes."

Amu shivered, "This really hasn't been a good day," Eru stated sadly.

"Well, I'm sure once Ikuto-kun is better everything will smooth out," Tsukasa said smiling.

"Yeah, for a year," Iru stated, "Then we lose all our money and can't buy food or shelter."

Everyone winced, "Well, that's a year from now," Ran stated, "I'm sure Ikuto can find someone he likes by then…"

"You don't get it," Utau said, "Because of Easter every girl in Japan, Europe, Asia, and America knows that Ikuto has money and power. Unless they're blind or knew him before they knew all that, then Ikuto won't believe they actually love him for who he is and not who he'll become."

"Poor Ikuto~ desu," Su said sadly.

"Visiting hours are over," Nurse Hana said hesitantly, "But the Hinamoris and Tsukiyomis are allowed to stay with Diane."

Kukai kissed Utau's cheek before leaving with Rima, Nagihiko, Kairi, Yaya, Yuu, Yukari, Musashi, and Tsukasa. Nurse Hana came up, "I have a room set up for Ikuto if one of you wants to stay with him," she said.

"I'll stay with him," Amu said.

"Alright," Nurse Hana said, "I'll have a male nurse help you carry Ikuto to the room."

Amu nodded then turned to the younger teens, "Night guys," she said, "Try and get some sleep, okay."

They nodded and walked down the hallway with Nurse Hana. Amu looked down at Ikuto, who slept peacefully. Amu bent her face down and kissed Ikuto's cheek, "Happy birthday Ikuto," she said softly, "I love you."

Unknown to Amu; Utau, Iru, Eru, and Yoru were listening while hiding, "I knew it," Utau and Eru said in unison.

"So, we can hope right?" Yoru asked.

"Maybe," Utau said, "We still need to know if Ikuto will realize Amu's feelings before December 1st of next year."

"I doubt he will," Iru said, "He's closed himself off from love."

Utau sighed, "You're right…" she said, "Come on, let's get to bed."

~The Next Morning~ Ikuto's Point of View

I woke up…in the hospital? I blinked confused the last thing I remember was yelling at Airi and Kazuomi then Tsukasa coming in. I sat up slowly then groaned in pain when I noticed my whole body was achy again. I heard a moan from beside me. I turned and saw Amu asleep on her notebook. I blinked, "Amu?" I asked.

Amu's eyes slowly opened revealing her golden orbs. She blinked a couple of times then sat up confused, "Huh?" she asked, "What am I doing…who are you?"

I just smirked and pointed to the notebook, "Read that and you'll remember," I stated.

Amu blinked in both tiredness and confusion. She slowly opened the notebook and began reading. It took Amu a few minutes to finish, but when she did her eyes flashed an emotion. She quickly closed the notebook and set it on the side table, "Are you okay?" she asked.

I chuckled, "I'm fine, just achy," I stated.

Amu smiled weakly, "I'm glad," she said, "But probably not one of your better birthdays."

I sighed, "I've had worse," I stated.

I was suddenly hugged by Amu. I blinked in shock, "I'm sorry Ikuto," she said, "You wouldn't have gotten yelled at if I didn't-"

"Don't finish that sentence," I stated, "Airi and Kazuomi had that coming for a long time so don't you dare blame yourself."

Amu sighed and pulled away, "Why didn't you tell me that if you didn't merry by the time you were 20 you'd lose your family's company?" she asked.

"Why didn't you tell me you were a master of three different forms of martial arts?" I countered.

Amu blushed, "I w-wouldn't say master…" she stuttered, "A-and I asked you first."

I sighed, "Because I didn't want anyone playing matchmaker just to save the company," I stated.

Amu had hurt in her eyes, "Ikuto…" she said sadly.

"Look," I stated, "I don't need pity because those two made it where no girl in the world could love me for the right reason."

Amu sighed and was about to say something when the door opened and Utau, Yoru, Iru, and Eru walked in, "Hey guys," I said smiling.

Iru and Eru hugged me. Amu smiled lightly. Once the twins pulled away each of my siblings held out a gift, "Here," Utau said, "It may be a little late, but something is better than nothing."

I smirked and Amu smiled. I took the bag from Eru's good arm. I sat up more so I could open it. I removed the paper from the inside and smiled. I pulled out a black choker with a silver cross. I smiled and kissed Eru's cheek, "Thanks Eru," I said.

Eru smiled and giggled, "Mine next," Iru said smiling.

I chuckled and took the bag from Iru and removed the paper from the inside. Inside were cross accessories for my school uniform. I chuckled, "I see you two went to the same store," I said then ruffled Iru's hair, "Thanks."

Iru smiled, "Here," Yoru said handing me a blue present.

I smiled and took the gift from my younger brother. I slowly unwrapped the gift from the paper and smiled when I saw two complete CDs of dad playing his violin, "Come here," I said and hugged Yoru.

Yoru smiled and chuckled. I pulled away, "Thank you," I said smiling.

Yoru smiled, "I have two presents," Utau said, "One for you," she handed me a bag, "And the other for you," she gave a bag to Amu.

Amu blinked confused, "Why?" she asked.

Utau smirked lightly, "'Cause I felt like it," she stated.

I gave Utau a look what are you up to little sis? Amu blinked, "But my birthday was four months ago?" she said.

"Then call it a late birthday gift," Utau stated.

Amu blinked and removed the paper from the bag. Her eyes widened and pulled out a golden lock with a silver flower center and a golden chain. I raised an eyebrow and Amu started to stutter, "Why-when-how much did this cost?" Amu asked.

Utau just smirked, "Open yours Ikuto," she stated.

I sighed and removed the paper from Utau's gift and blinked. I pulled out a key that looked exactly like Amu's lock. Amu tilted her head confused and Utau smirked, "I picked them out early this morning," she said, "They're called the Humpty Dumpty Set. There's even a legend that goes with the pair, but I'll let you two figure it out…"

I gave my singer sister a look, "You're up to something…" I stated, "But I guess since I don't know yet…thanks."

"Yeah, thanks Utau," Amu said.

"Well, I've got things to do," Utau said, "Bye Ikuto."

I waved and Utau left, "When's Diane leaving?" Amu asked.

"As soon as someone comes and signs her out," Eru said.

"Well, Yukari should be here soon to pick up Utau so either she or Yuu should sign her out," I stated.

Amu put the lock necklace around her neck, "I still want to know how much this cost…" she stated looking at it.

I sighed, "If I know Utau then it was at least ¥8,398.27 ($100)," I said.

Amu paled, "Eh!" she yelled, "No way! I-I can't-"

I chuckled, "Amu, it's a necklace, that's actually pretty cheap," I said.

Amu blushed, "I still feel bad though…"

I chuckled I still don't understand how she can be so cute and innocent at 16…wait why am I even thinking that? Amu stood up, "I'm going to check on my siblings so you can get ready," she said, "I think Tsukasa-sensei brought some of your clothes early this morning."

I nodded, "You three," I said to my siblings, "Go with her."

Yoru, Iru, and Eru whined, but followed Amu. I sighed and looked at Utau's gift what are you up to?

A/N Me: Well, Kayla's up…
