A/N Caroline: I brought Milkshakes!
Chelsea, Kayla, and Me: Ooo! *Each grab one chocolate milkshake* Yum!
Caroline: *Glares* I didn't say they were for you three!
Me: Your fault. I don't own Shugo Chara…I wonder if Ikuto would show up if we put a fish in one of these… *Looks at Caroline*
Caroline: Don't even think about! *Holds milkshake protectively*
Me: *Sigh* fine…
Akiko's Point of View
I was right when I said Daisuke wouldn't want to do his job when I told him what it was for about a week ago. Right now Daisuke was in the office talking to the boss. He said he had a plan that wouldn't hurt Hinamori's friends, but it would hurt her…emotionally. I didn't know what the plan was and I was told to stay in the hallway while they talked. I grabbed my locket and looked at the pictures inside, "I'll find a way out of this," I whispered to the pictures, "Somehow or another…"
The door opened and quick as lightning I put my locket back in place. Daisuke came out, "He liked the plan, unfortunately," he said, "He said I'm free to go…and he wants to see you Akiko-chan…"
I nodded. Well, at least he's free. I entered the office and closed the door, "Yes sir?" I asked.
"Akiko!" the boss said smiling, "Telling that boy was the best idea you ever had!"
I groaned inwardly and didn't say anything, "This is the perfect plan!"
"W-what is the plan sir?" I managed to ask in an emotionless tone.
The boss turned to me, "We're going to erase Hinamori Amu and Tsukiyomi Ikuto from those kids' memories…" he said.
My heart froze in place and I went wide eyed. No…
No One's Point of View
"Ikuto!" Amu called as she entered the apartment with groceries.
Ikuto came into the living room just as Amu slipped off her shoes, "What?" he asked.
Amu smiled and set the bags of groceries down and began to look through them, "Ah," she said and pulled out a ball of blue yarn.
Ikuto's cat ears and tail popped out, "You…" he half growled.
Amu smiled and threw the yarn making both Ikuto and Yoru follow it. Amu chuckled and Ran, Miki, and Su were laughing their heads off while Dia just giggled softly. Amu picked up the groceries and went into the kitchen and started putting them away. Just as Amu was about to put the last thing away Ikuto grabbed her and lifted her up, "Ikuto!" Amu yelled laughing, "Put me down!"
"After what you did with the yarn…I don't think so Strawberry," Ikuto said smirking.
"Well if I didn't distract you somehow the groceries would be left not put up!" Amu yelled, "You always mess with me so I can't put them up…now let me finish!"
"Nope," Ikuto said and carried Amu out of the kitchen with a can of Chicken Noodle soup in her hands.
"Ikuto!" Amu yelled.
Ikuto put her on the bed then left and closed the door, "Ikuto!" Amu yelled and tried to open the door knowing it locked from the inside, but it wouldn't budge, "Ikuto! Let go of the handle!"
"Now if I did that this wouldn't be punishment now would it?" Ikuto stated smirking, "Little kids need to learn not to mess with the older kids."
"Ikuto!" Amu yelled, "This isn't funny anymore!"
"Who said anything about it being funny Strawberry?" Ikuto stated.
"Ikuto!" Amu yelled and banged of the door, "Let me out of here!"
"Hmm, no," Ikuto stated smirking.
"Ikuto!" Amu yelled.
Ikuto chuckled at Amu's yelling, "Does she honestly think I'm going to keep her in there?" he asked the charas.
Suddenly, there was a thud, "Amu?" Ikuto asked and slowly opened the door.
"Amu-chan!" her four charas yelled when they saw her passed out of the floor.
"Amu!" Ikuto yelled.
"What in the world happened~ nya!" Yoru yelled.
Ikuto felt Amu's forehead, "No fever…" he stated.
"Ikuto!" Ran yelled, "What's wrong with Amu-chan?"
"Does it look like I know?" Ikuto wanted to yell, but kept his voice calm.
"Amu-chan?" Miki yelled, "Amu-chan!"
Su was now close to tears, eh…scratch that, she was now in tears. Ikuto grabbed his phone and called Tadase, "Uh, hello who's this?" Tadase's voice came.
"Tadase, this is no time for games," Ikuto stated, "Something's wrong with Amu."
"I'm afraid you have the wrong number," Tadase said, "I don't know you or a girl named Amu," with that said he hung up.
"What!" Ikuto yelled, "He has to be kidding!"
"Ikuto," Dia said softly, "I feel as if something is not right."
"Really?" Ikuto said sarcastically, "I hadn't noticed."
Ikuto then tried calling his sister, "Okay, whoever you are, how'd you get my number?" Utau said annoyed.
"Utau, it's your brother," Ikuto said getting annoyed.
"Ha! Yeah right," Utau said, "Nice try crazy fan, but I'm an only child," with that Utau hung up.
"Is she joking!" Ikuto yelled, "Alright, I'm starting to agree with you Dia. Something is totally off."
"Ikuto!" Ran yelled, "Amu-chan's breathing is becoming shallow!"
Ikuto turned to Amu, "Alright, that's it!" he yelled and picked Amu up, "We're going to the hospital!"
Ikuto character changed and started hoping roofs faster than you could say 'huh?' The five charas followed Ikuto closely and worried over Amu. Ikuto made it to the hospital not even two minutes later (and the hospital is a ten minute drive without traffic). Ikuto ran in his character change gone and doctors and nurses instantly saw the unconscious Amu and took her from Ikuto's arms, "Take her to the ER quickly," one doctor yelled.
"Her breathing is shallow!" a nurse observed.
Soon all but one light green haired nurse left, "Do you mind answering a few questions?" she asked.
"Me first," Ikuto stated, "Will she be alright?"
"Hard to tell at the moment," the nurse said, "Now, the name of the girl, her age, and your relationship with her."
"Hinamori Amu, 13, and at the moment I'm the only family she has," Ikuto stated.
"Your name and age?" the nurse asked, "And be more specific in the relationship please."
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto, 18," Ikuto stated, "And for the time being her family is missing and I'm a family friend whom she trusts."
Well…it wasn't a total lie, "Hmm, alright," the nurse said, "How did this happen?"
"We were messing around then she suddenly passed out," Ikuto said getting annoyed with the question verily quickly, "She has no fever and she was totally fine up to a few minutes ago."
"Alright, we'll see what we can do," the nurse said, "Please wait in the waiting room to the right."
Ikuto clinched his fists, but knew better then to take his anger out on the nurse when she was only doing her job. Ikuto slowly and reluctantly made his way to the waiting room with the five charas. Ikuto plopped down in a red chair and crossed his arms, "Ikuto," Su said, "Amu-chan will be okay right~ desu?"
"I don't know," Ikuto stated, "What I want to know is what was with Tadase and Utau. They acted as if they didn't know me or Amu."
"Maybe it wasn't an act," Miki stated, "Remember what that letter said? They were going after our friends."
Ikuto went wide eyed then hit his forehead repeatedly, "Stupid, stupid, stupid," he said, "But why erase their memories?"
"That's the million dollar question…" Miki stated.
It was quiet as they all waited for news on Amu. Suddenly, the Dumpty Key began to glow a faint golden color. Ikuto looked shocked, "That better be a good glow," he stated as he removed it from around his neck.
Suddenly, the glow disappeared, "Uh, is that good or bad~ nya?" Yoru asked.
Ikuto stared at the key for a few seconds. Suddenly, a doctor and the nurse from before entered and Ikuto turned to them with the Dumpty Key still in his hands, "How is she?" he asked.
"She's…in a coma," the doctor said.
Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia gasped and tears sprang to their eyes. Ikuto clutched the Dumpty Key with all his might, "We aren't sure how long she'll be out, but for right now she's stable," the doctor said, "You're the adult responsible for her?"
Ikuto just nodded and silently thanked God for him being a legal adult at the moment, "Well, we'll need you to fill out a few papers and we'll need you to stay so that if we need to do anything we have your permission."
"I was planning on staying anyway," Ikuto stated standing up, "And just how much paperwork are we talking?"
"About ten sheets," the nurse said.
Ikuto sighed, "Fine, but I want to see Amu now," he said sternly.
"Of course," the doctor said, "Nurse Ayame, get the paperwork while I show him to Hinamori's room."
Nurse Ayame nodded and I followed the doctor out of the room with the charas following. They walked about ten doors down then the doctor stopped at Room 221, "Here we are," he said.
Ikuto nodded and entered the room and saw Amu with at least three different machines hooked up into her arm, "Amu-chan!" her charas yelled.
Ikuto stood beside her and looked down at her, "What's wrong with you Strawberry?" he whispered.
Suddenly, Nurse Ayame came in with the papers. Ikuto sighed and took the papers and the nurse left. Ikuto looked at Amu's charas, "You four are helping," he stated and went to sit in a recliner that would double as his bed until Amu woke up.
Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia went over to Ikuto who had already filled out her name, age, height, grade, etc. "Is she allergic to anything?" Ikuto asked them.
"Um… I think her mom said she was allergic to nuts," Ran said.
"She is?" Ikuto asked, "Okay…" he went to write it down.
Suddenly, Ikuto stopped, "Yoru…" Ikuto said, "I want you to go outside the room and tell me what happens."
"Why~ nya?" Yoru asked.
"With Amu being allergic to nuts I'm not taking any chances of this hospital being run by Wall-ie," Ikuto stated.
"Um…okay~ nya," Yoru said.
"Dia, go with him," Ikuto stated, "You seem to be the more mature chara."
Dia nodded and Yoru and Dia left the room. Ran, Miki, and Su looked at Ikuto, "Why do all this if Amu-chan is allergic to nuts?" Miki asked, "It's just an allergy."
"It's one of the more dangerous allergies," Ikuto stated while filling out papers, "If she accidentally eats nuts her throat could close up in a mire ten minutes at the minimum and with her out like this…they could easily put nuts into something to hurt her severely."
Ran, Miki, and Su gulped.
Dia's Point of View
"I don't understand why we have to do this~ nya," Yoru said as we watched the nurse and doctor from before.
"Ikuto is worried about Amu-chan," I stated softly, "I think it's quite sweet."
Yoru rolled his eyes, "Girls…" he muttered, but I just smiled not hurt by his words at all.
Suddenly, the doors opened and I went wide eyed. I quickly covered Yoru's mouth before he could gasp and hid in a plant before Akiko or Airi and Emi could see us, "Why is Hinamori in here?" Akiko asked anger clearly in her voice.
"Um, well, she's in a coma…" the doctor said.
"How is she in a coma?" Akiko asked, but managed not to yell.
"We don't know," the doctor said, "And who might you be? A friend?"
"No…" Akiko said, "I'm part of the business that signs your paycheck."
"Oh…" the doctor said, "Why is Wall-ie interested in this girl?"
"None of your business," Akiko stated then started to walk away, "And Mr. Kondo wants to know everything about her and what happens to her."
I went wide eyed and the minute Akiko was out the door I grabbed Yoru and flew back into the room, "Ikuto~ nya!" Yoru yelled causing Ikuto to look at us.
I stopped in front of them, "Akiko was just here," I stated.
Ikuto went wide eyed then glared before going back to his calm face, "She told the doctor to tell them everything about Amu-chan and what happens to her."
Ikuto stood up and walked out, "What's with him~ nya?" Yoru asked.
"Amu-chan can die if she eats nuts~ desu!" Su yelled.
I was shocked, one, because Amu-chan's allergy is that dangerous and two, because I didn't know Ikuto cared that much about Amu-chan.
Ikuto's Point of View
I walked out into the hallway and spotted Akiko. I quickly walked over to her and grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around, "What are you doing here?" I asked anger clearly in my voice.
Akiko's face remained emotionless and didn't say anything and freed herself from my grasp, "Of course Dummy Dumpty would be here," she stated.
I glared at her, "What did you do to our friends?" I stated, "Why can't they remember us!"
"Simple," Akiko said, "The boss erased their memories of you two."
"Even my own sister!" I yelled; I was way above my limit.
"Yes…" Akiko said, "But why Hinamori's in a coma is a mystery to us. I'm about to go tell the boss about Hinamori now."
I blinked, "Wait…he didn't send you? He doesn't know? You…came on your own?" I asked calmed down now.
"That's none of your business!" Emi yelled in my face.
"That's enough Emi!" Akiko said, "Listen very closely Tsukiyomi because I'm only going to say this one time."
Akiko looked at me before turning her back to me, "You and I aren't that different," she stated then walked away, "And…I wouldn't put Hinamori's allergy on the paper…"
I froze, "How do you…"
"Just don't and pay close attention to what they feed her threw the IV," Akiko said then left the hospital.
I blinked what in the world did she mean…and how does she…wait a minute…
And don't worry Hinamori, I've hid your family somewhere safe…
"You and I aren't that different…"
"I think her mom said she was allergic to nuts…"
…I've hid your family…
"…aren't that different…"
"…her mom…mom…mom…"
"She's…being forced to work for Wall-ie…" I said in shock.
