Chapter Six: He's Hurt

I laugh and try to remember what happened. Ok I got home after Ikuto walked me home. I ran up to my room so happy that he kissed me on the cheek leaving out teasing and he also gave me a tight hug. I smiled and thought nothing about it. My brother came into my room when he got home and laughed at her room. That for once was completely clean and organized.

"What the hell happened here?"

I start to laugh, "I don't know I have too much energy so I thought I could put it to some use."

I think on how excited I was from Ikuto playing for me even when he thought he wouldn't he played in front of other people to let me dance to him music.

My brother starts to laugh, "So I'm guessing you danced in the park again today?"

I nod, "Yeah I even had someone dance with me. She was great. Well I found out her family had a weird tradition and she was really a he."

He laughed sounding a bit confused.

"Yeah I know but I remember you know that girl from the dance festival from last year he ended up being the one that I talked to."

He smiles at me, "Well I'm glad you did something that was out of character for you."

I shrug, "Well people tell me that I should get out of my shell more often."

He laughs and messes up my hair, "Mom says it's time to eat and also the guys and a few other of the gals I hang out with are coming over this weekend so mom said it was cool for you to have over some friends."

I sigh knowing that Rima, Yaya, Miki, Ran, Su, and Dia will be able to come. I tell the guys and they all seem to scream about how fun that sounds.

I sigh, "Great they all seem to like to yell."

I sigh and try to get them to shut up and to top it off my brother walks by and touches my shoulder, "Hey Amu-chan Yoru is coming here to."

"Great that playboy, no, last time he came here he tried to pull moves and next thing I know he has a few bruises. Do you know who to thank for keeping him away from my?" My brother shrugs, "I know I should thank Ikuto or my brother or even both since they both love me so much."

School went by fast on Friday and everyone met me at the front gates were Ikuto was sitting on the stone wall.

"Hey Princess your brother sent me. To tell you that your friends should be careful with Yoru before we got there since Yoru got mad he had to stay in our area of the house. Also he got knocked into the pond on campus."

I started laughing, "That's almost as funny as you and him getting in a fight all the time. The week he had all those bruises after he hit on me. So it's been two or three years since he's been allowed at the house."

I smile up at Ikuto and shrug, "All I have to do is break his nose or something with a bat and maybe he'll leave us alone for a while."

Ikuto sighs, "And what happens when he's all healed up?"

I shrug again, "I'll find something else to do." I

Ikuto doesn't do anything just looks at me and again sighs, "Amu don't do anything stupid please."

I sigh we were walking so I bump his hand, "Yeah."

He smirks and walks in front of us and turns around. "Ikuto look out."

I run over to him and pull him away from the stairs. Causing us to fall but he turns so I'm the one that lands on top him.

"Amu, are you alright?"

I hear my friends running my way. I look to see I'm lying on Ikuto so I sit up and get off him. I turn cherry red. My friends laugh. I try to move Ikuto to see that his arm was twisted behind him.

I pull him up and he looks at me, "Hey you know my arm hurts right?"

I nod keeping my head down, "Yeah I'm sorry."

He laughs, "Like I care you know I would have fallen down..."

(Ikuto)

"Wait did you say stairs?"

I pull myself away and see the end of the hill. My eyes widened I remember this being a hill. A nice steep slope that I use to roll down but I guess I haven't been over here maybe six years. I sigh I look back at Amu and realize when I opened my eyes my arm was moved and tear drops were on my arm.

"Amu you're not crying are you?"

She shakes her head keeping it down and her face away from my line of sight.

I use my good arm to pull her face up and I pull her into a hug. "Please don't cry Amu."

Her friends stop in their tracks, "Please don't cry who knows what would have happened if you didn't pull me away from the stairs." I feel her nod and I laugh a little, "When did they put stairs there?"

"Three years ago. You haven't been here in six years so you wouldn't have known. I was going to tell you but you caught me off when you turned around and walked in front of me. I'm sorry I should have told you earlier it's my entire fault. I had to take this way home."

I bet Amu is mad about crying in front of her friends.

I she sets her head on my chest. "Amu you are not at fault I should be more careful. I was too busy in my own head to even realize what way we were taking. Please don't cry Amu."

"Are you alright?"

The way that her eyes were staring up and me with tears still running down her face she looked adorable, but I hated the way that she felt that she had to be sad.

Her friends looked shocked when I fell again. Amu came down with me.

When she landed on my arm I flinched and pulled at it.

She got off grabbed a hold of me and threw an arm around her shoulder and sighed, "You may be taller than me but you are really light."

She gets that evil glint in her eyes and I know where she's taking me.

(Amu)

My friends start to laugh as I drag him to the hospital. He starts to squirm.

"Amu I don't want to go to the hospital. You know how I feel about one, because of what happened a while back with my mom."

I laugh a little and look back at him, "Ikuto you were always scared of the hospital, because of my brother when you guys were five. The whole incident just added onto it."

I smile until we get close to the hospital the last time I was at one was when Ikuto pulled me out of the way of a speeding care two years ago. I was in the hospital for an entire two weeks. Even though Ikuto hated it he went to visit me to make sure that I wasn't alone. People joked around that I walked in front of the car.

The truth being I wasn't paying attention, but I don't have a death wish like what people say that I do.

For Ikuto being by my side I would stay right her smiling no matter what, because he makes me feel light?

(Ikuto)

Amu stopped probably remembering the week she had to spend in here because a car almost hit her and I pulled her out of the way.

She had to stay there for a little bit and cried there for a little bit.

Every day before I'd walk into the room I'd sneak a peek whenever someone wasn't there watching her she would cry.

She always wanted to stay that cool and spicy girl who isn't an afraid.

I smile as I let her lead me through the doors and talk to a nurse.

She doesn't need to act older I like her the way she is.
