Chapter Seven: Problem

(Amu)

I sat down with Ikuto waiting for his name to be called when that happened he wasn't so dizzy from knocking his head on the ground twice.

When he stood by himself he looked back at me and smiled, "Just wait here ok. Don't move and if someone bothers you just go up to the nurses station. If anything happens the person is dead and so am I."

I think does he think my brother would do that.

He pulls me into a hug before he goes up sigh.

He was only in there for twenty minutes when my phone goes off.

"Hello," I answer plan and simple.

"Is this Amu?"

"Yeah and who's this?"

"Oh you'll find out."

They hung up and I just stared at the phone until someone touched my shoulder causing me to jump.

When I looked back and say Ikuto behind me, "What is it Amu you seem really jumpy?"

"Oh nothing I just am like that right now."

He sighs, "I'll ask you when we get out of here."

When we leave the hospital Ikuto gets us both ice cream both chocolate. So we finished and just keep on walking back to my place still twenty minutes away.

It's been twenty minutes we've been walking for when Ikuto pulls me into the trees.

I look at him, "What is it Ikuto?

" "Amu I know something is bothering you and I don't want to see that sad look on your face again. Please tell me what happened well I was in the doctors."

I look up at him and give him the sad, "Some idiot called me up and just asked if it was me but when I answered they just said that I'll find out."

He looked at me and smiled, "I'll make sure that you aren't bothered again."

He held me tight to his body and kissed my head, "I'll protect you Amu."

When we got half way to my house my brother came running over when he saw that I was holding onto Ikuto he almost punched him but I got in the way.

Ikuto had bandages on his head and also had his arm in a sling he had surgery next week because when he fell he popped his arm out and when they popped it back in they made the bone scrap bone again.

"Brother Ikuto's hurt so please don't hurt him more."

"OK how did he get hurt?" I pause, "Well since my friends haven't told you he was about to fall down the Drop Stairs, but I knocked him down to make sure he wouldn't fall. When we both fell he made it so he would hit the ground first. He had messed up his arm then. Later he started to get dizzy and fell down hitting his head again. So I dragged his scardy butt to the hospital."

This caused my brother to laugh and for once Ikuto blushed, "Shut up you know my fear."

I sigh, "I have fears to but when I need to I'll overcome them."

My brother looked at me and smiled, "Well even though my little sister saved your life. I think she should take care of you.

(Toshiro)

I know that they like each other I'll draw them together and see what happens but if anything goes too far until she's eighteen even then I beat his ass if anything happens. I just want them to be happy.

(Ikuto)

What does her brother have up his sleeve?

I shrug to myself and start walking, "Hey are we going to have a party are we going to stand around like idiots?"

I laugh and take she good hand and start dragging me.

"Come one before people start thinking the three of us went to a separate party mom and dad may be gone but if anything wrecked anyone in the house will die."

She laughs when her brother and i looked horrified. She takes her brothers hand but she keeps close to me.

"Ikuto," I look down and she has the perfect cute angel aura of an innocence, "Are you alright you seem quiet?"

I blush without thinking, "Yeah I'm fine just thinking too much."

"I'm sorry if I wasn't so harsh when I pushed up away from the stairs you wouldn't be hurt."

I take a peek at her brother to see him rolling his eyes, "Sis you worry too much. He would have fallen he probably had to run over to make sure that he wouldn't fall down them."

She nods and her brother gives her one arm hug and let her go. When we get close to the house Ikuto has an annoyed look on his face, "Is Yoruhere?"

"Yeah but the stupid freshmen is chasing one of Amu's friend I think her name is Miki."

(Amu)

I stop and look at my brother, "How is he chasing Miki?"

She shrugs, "I don't know she wanted it to the house and he shut right away. It was one of the best things, but after getting shot down a few times he started a whole chase thing."

I laugh, "If he isn't hurt by now then to tell you this and don't tell anyone, but when Miki doesn't' beat up a guy that she turns down that means she's giving it some thought."

They laugh, "Yeah we better not tell him or else the only girl who may take him won't take him."

I laugh, "Yeah, still poor Miki."

We laugh until Miki runs up to me and throws her arms around me, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

I look at my best friend she was shaking, "I answered the house phone and someone asked for you and I said you were out and they left a message."

I take the sheet of paper in my hands and look at her like in the hospital I was scared. I hold it to Ikuto knowing he won't freak as bad as my brother would, but when he read it he looked at Miki, "Was it off of private?" she nods he pushes the paper into my chest.

I look at the paper and froze in place letting it fall from my hands I ran after Ikuto or made it look like I didn't want to talk about it.

(Ikuto)

I didn't want to do that but the note keeps running through my head I bet Amu is crying in her room and telling her friends to leave her alone.

I close my eyes and the words float through my head,

"My Dearest little one,

You should keep away from your older kitty cat or else you both will be put to sleep. You'll soon know what happens to kittens that don't follow the rules."

I shivered and I looked over at the other guys in the room. My eyes catch on Toshiro who was looking my way I froze a little. He kept asking what was written on it and why was Amu crying.

Someone found out about us and that was before I could do anything.

They know her cell phone number and home number.

If anyone tries to mess with my Amu I'll teach them a thing or two about not messing with this little sweetheart.

(Amu)

My friends filed out of the room when I had stopped crying.

I told them that they could stay another day or two. I laugh a little when they leave.

They believed me when I said I was OK.

I sigh and pull my knees to my chest.

Ikuto just stormed off and my chest hurts not from him pushing the paper into my chest but from the hurt that he didn't say anything when he left.

At one-o-clock in the morning someone knocks on my door so I pretend to be a sleep.

When I hear the door open after a while I feel someone sit on my bed their hand is shaking.

I feel something odd about the hand then it clicked its Ikuto.

I looked over to see him looking down at me with sad eyes.

When he noticed I was up he wiped his eyes real fast. I looked down at his arm, "Ikuto this isn't the first time I've gotten calls like this. I even get presents once in a while. The last time I got one was after the recital. I've been getting things since I turned 12. It's been a year Ikuto and I'm getting worried before it was just random notes so I thought people were pulling my strings but today getting phone calls is all new to me. Ikuto I'm so scared."

I dug my head into his chest, "I'm so very scared. I don't know what's happening I have no idea who this person is so I don't know what to do.
