Kukai POV
I closed the door to Amu's room and walk down the hall. I walk down the stair to see everyone in the dining room. I saw Souko trying to soothe Utau just like Nagi who had his arms wrap around Rima. Ikuto stood near his mom and Utau. Utau and Rima both look like a wreck, both shaking with fear and had worried written all over their face.
I walk towards them. Once they heard my footsteps their heads shot up. I gave them a grin and two thumbs up "She'll be okay."
They look relieved especially Ikuto "I'm going to bring her some tea." I said as I made my way towards the kitchen and grab a mug from the cabinets. I walk back out to the dining room and gently grab the tea pot that was on the table and pore some in the cup.
"I'll be right back" I stated as I made my way towards the stairs and up.
Once I came face to face with Amu door, I open it. I walk towards her to realize she was knock out. I quickly check her temperature thinking she had gotten a fever. I sigh in relieve to see she had none. I gently put her mug on the night stand, and walk out of her room quietly.
As I closed her door I made my way towards the dining room again to find out what happen.
Once I reach the table I saw the girls drinking a mug of tea.
"Are you guys okay?" I ask looking at them.
"Y-yeah" Rima answer shakily.
"Can you tell me what happen?" I ask.
Utau nodded "W-we w-were walking b-back to the c-car a-after we f-finish e-eating then s-some thugs came t-towards u-us." She said.
I nodded telling her to continue. "T-they try to g-get us b-but Amu fought t-them", Utau answer and I could tell she was close to crying.
"How many of them were there?" I said gently.
"F-five" she answer. Ikuto, Nagi, and Souko eyes widen. My eyes also widen 'How did Amu get injure if there were only five? She can beat more than five at once' I thought.
"How did Amu get injure?" I ask.
Utau then started crying so Rima answer "O-one of t-them h-had a g-gun. H-he aim i-it at us, b-but Amu t-took t-the b-bullet" she said holding on to Nagi shirt tighter.
I nodded knowing Amu was use to fighting without thinking about protecting anyone. This whole bodyguard mission is all new to me and her. I told them everything going to be okay, that Amu is out like light. They nodded and relax a bit.
Then Nagi decide to ask something "How was Amu able to take a bullet but look like if it was nothing?"
"Amu been through more than that" I answered. I then realized that Rima and Nagi know nothing about this whole bodyguard thing. Nagi eyes widen and so did Rima.
I look at the clock to see it was time to pick up Aruto. I stood up and stated "I'm going to pick up Aruto"
"I'll come with" Ikuto stated. I nodded glad for the company.
"We'll be back and I think we should explain a couple of thing to Nagi and Rima after we return" I said and they all nodded. Ikuto and I made our way towards Aruto Company. Once we pick him, Ikuto and I explain what had happen this afternoon. Aruto told us to step on as we drove home.
As we got home Aruto quickly went to Utau and engulf her in a big hug.
"Are you okay?" Aruto ask with worry in his voice. Utau gave him a small smile and nodded.
"Okay, I think we have to talk about a couple of stuff so let move this party to the living room" I said trying to lighten the mood.
Everyone follow me to the living room and settle on the couches.
"Okay to start, I think Nagi and Rima should know about me and Amu" I said looking at Aruto. Aruto seem to think about it and nodded.
"Rima and Nagi, Amu and I are here on a mission to take care of the Tsukiyomi family" I said in a formal tone.
"What do you mean?" Nagi ask with a perplexed face.
"It was an assignment, Aruto here pay for the top bodyguards we had and tada! Here we are" I said with a grin.
"What? Why?" ask Rima looking at the Tsukiyomi family.
"Well the family is under threat and I hired them to protect them. I want you both to know that it could be dangerous to be around us" Aruto said. Nagi and Rima look taken back.
"Don't worry, under Amu and I protection we will eliminate this threat" I said.
"But how, I mean Amu just had gotten shot" Rima said.
"It because this is a first for Amu and I to be bodyguards, heck this is the first mission the agency was ask for bodyguards. We aren't us to protecting others but we will get the hang of it" I said.
"Wait, what do you mean? Is this your first time being bodyguards?" Ikuto ask.
"Yeah" I said a bit confuse, I mean they did ask an organization of pure assassins for bodyguards. Right?
"Dad, I thought you said they were professional bodyguards" Ikuto said looking at his dad.
"That is what one of my colleague said" Aruto stated.
"What exactly did he say?" I ask.
"Well he said 'I have a number of an organization and they can deal with your problem. They can eliminate the person who threaten your family just like that'. I thought by eliminate he mean arrest' Aruto said.
I shook my head "By eliminate he mean killed" I said seriously.
"What?" Souko said confuse just like the rest.
"Aruto your friend there gave you the number of the top organization of assassins in the world" I said.
They stay silent letting the information sink in, then there eyes widen once they realized what he meant.
"So what you're saying is that you and Amu are assassins?" Ikuto ask. I nodded. They look scared for a moment.
"Don't worry we won't hurt you" I said reassure them.
They relax and nodded and the silence took over.
"How long have you been an assassin?" Nagi ask breaking the silence.
"Six years" I said.
"What about Amu?" Rima ask.
"Ten years" I answered.
"How did you ended up as an assassin?" Utau ask. I jump slightly at her question.
"Sorry I shouldn't have asks those questions" I heard her say.
"Nah, it's okay. Just took me by surprise" I said with a chuckle. My face then turns serious; I knew I would have to tell them sooner or later plus I felt like I can trust them.
I took a deep breathe "Well it all started when I was younger like 6 years old. I had a family with many brothers, me being the youngest. I had five brothers and my parents love them all, all but me. My parents would blame me if anything happen to them, even if I was the youngest. They didn't take good care of me, they never cared.
One day my parents were actually nice, I knew I had to have my guard up just in case. They took me to the park; it was just me, my mom and dad. We play soccer and they would push me on the swing. I was happier than ever. In the end of the day they bought me ice cream and we sat on the bench."
"Suddenly my parents said they were going to get more ice cream. They told me to stay where I was and I listened wanting to be a good kid. I look at them as they walk away, not knowing that would the last day I ever see them. I didn't know until it started getting late I walk back home alone. Once I reach home I saw that the house was empty, no one was there. I cried that day, I was afraid. I thought they would come back for me so I stay in front of my house. I stay there till morning and the neighbors came and notice my family has abandoned me. They told me that they would take me to a safe place" I chuckle humorlessly.
"They took me to an orphanage. I was in the hell hole for a year, when a couple adopted me. I thought I was going to have the family I wanted one that had love but boy that didn't work out. They abuse me, they made me clean the house after their parties that happen constantly. They never feed me right, they yelled at me if I did something wrong. I was stuck there till I was ten"
"Then one day that I will always remember, the day that changed my life. There was a knock on the door; they told me to open it. When I did I saw a girl my age with black raven hair that past her shoulders and sea green eyes. She held a box that was label 'GIRL SCOUT COOKIES'. She look at me for what seem like forever until they came walking down the stairs. She told me 'wait for me outside under the tree' I didn't know why but I listen to her. I walk out of the house and waited under the tree. Then after a couple of minutes I heard two gun shots. I ran towards the house thinking they kill the girl, I ran and ran as fast as I could. When I open that door I saw them lying there dead. The girl was on a phone saying she was done and to send a cleanup crew"
"She turned to me and grabbed my hand gently and leaded me out the house. We walk blocks down until we got to town. We walk towards a hotel, she lead me inside. We ended up inside a single apartment. She told me to sit down that she was going to heal my wounds. I was shock that she knew but I listen. I sat down as she got the first aid kit. She healed them as best as possible and fed me. She then looks me in the eyes and told me she would take care of me that she will be my family. I admit it felt weird out but I cried hearing those words. That's all I wanted, someone to be my family since then she took me under her wing. She help me train to be good as her. We been on missions together before and we consider each other family. She can be strict but I know that she loves me like a brother" I said with a smile.
"Where is she now?" Nagi ask. I smirk.
"In this house" I chuckled when I saw everyone's eyes widen.
"Wait, you said the girl has black hair and sea green eyes. Amu has pink hair and honey color eyes." Utau said confuse.
"Amu changes appearances every time" I said remembering Amu changes her hair and eye colors.
"Why?" Utau ask. I shrug.
"Do you know how she looks like?" Rima ask.
"Nobody knows, not even me. I'm consider the only person who talk to Amu as a friend." I said.
"So no one knows the real Amu?" Ikuto asks.
"No. Nobody knows her background history. Rumors have it that she is a prodigy and that the agency kidnap her for money. Others say she just came out nowhere and start just like everyone else. There are many rumors about her" I stated.
Everybody nodded. I realized that it was getting late and tomorrow we have school. "Let's hit the hay. Tomorrow we have school" I said. They nodded
"Rima, Nagi you are both welcome to sleep over" Souko said with a smile.
"Thank you" they said.
"Okay good night children. Let's go honey" Aruto said and grab his wife hand. They both walk together upstairs.
I turn towards my friends and grin "We should go to".
Before we all went upstairs, Rima ask a question "Wait, so are you guys even going out?"
We all turn to her "Huh?" escaped my lips.
Rima rolled her eye "You know you and Utau?"
I look at Utau who had a small amount of pink on her cheeks. "No" she muttered.
"What about you and Amu, Ikuto?" Nagi ask.
Ikuto also mutter a "No".
"Why did you say you guys were then?" Rima ask with her arms across her chest. I was about to answer but someone else did.
"It was an idea we came up with, to stay close with them without looking suspicious" the voice said.
I turn my head to see Amu standing up one the stair case. She wore her pajamas which are just a black t-shirt and red shorts.
"AMU!" the girls shouted as they ran up the stairs and tackled her in a hug.
Then us boys ran upstairs to. As we reach the top we she Utau and Rima hugging her around her stomach.
"Amu you're supposed to be resting" I said.
"I'm fine with a few pain pills, I feel like new. Plus how am I supposed to rest if you guys keep making noise" she said with an eyebrow raised.
Everyone but Ikuto smiled sheepishly and mutters a sorry. Ikuto however walk towards her and whispers something in her ear. I saw Amu turn a red like a fire truck.
"P-PERVERT!" she yelled. I saw Ikuto smirk.
"Come on you guys we have to go to sleep. Save your love fest some other day" I said and saw Amu glaring at me.
"I want to be with Amu" Rima said.
"Me too" Utau said. Amu sigh.
"You guys can sleep over in my room" Amu said with a small smile. Utau and Rima smile at Amu.
"Come on Rima, I think I have pajamas you can use. We'll be right back Amu" Utau said as she and Rima went into Utau room.
"Come on Ikuto. We should go to sleep" Nagi said. Ikuto nodded and turn to Amu and wink "Night Amu-koi". Ikuto and Nagi then started going to their rooms.
Amu cheeks turn a bright pink and mutter "stupid cat".
She then turns her attention to me and smiles "You should go to sleep to and thanks for the tea".
I nodded and was about to walk towards my room but Amu hugged me "You will always be a brother for me".
I was shock that she heard everything but I hug her back. Amu then pull back and smirk "Well my little brother".
"Hey! I'm older!" I protested.
She chuckled "Whatever helps you sleep at night".
"Amu!" we turn to see Rima and Utau in their pajamas carrying blankets and pillows.
"Good night little brother" Amu said as she ran towards her room and close the door.
"I'm older!" I shouted and heard laughter. I sigh and walk toward my room with a smile on my face.
It's nice to have someone who cares about you.
Well I hope you like it! Sorry if there are any grammar mistakes.
R&R please!
See ya!
