A/N Me: Next chapter! Hope you enjoy!

Kayla, Chelsea, and Caroline: *Fast asleep*

Me: *Chuckles* I don't own Shugo Chara.

No One's Point of View

Ikuto, Amu, and their charas entered the apartment the morning Amu was released, "Wait…Akiko said that you and her weren't that different?" Amu asked shocked.

Ikuto nodded, "And is there a reason why you never told me you were allergic to nuts?" he asked.

Amu blushed lightly, "Um…it slipped my mind?" she said.

"Amu," Ikuto said sternly, "A nut allergy is something that needs to be told. Do the Guardians even know?"

Amu looked down, "N-no…" she said.

Ikuto sighed, "Just be lucky your charas knew or Wall-ie could have done something to you," he said.

"Sorry…" Amu said, "When are Sanjo-san and Nikaidou-sensei bringing the others?"

"After lunch," Ikuto stated.

Amu looked at the clock, "Well, I may want to make something for everyone to snack on," Amu said then entered the kitchen.

Ikuto sighed. He knew Amu should rest more, but he also knew her stubborn attitude, "Don't push yourself…" he stated then sat on the couch.

Amu didn't seem to hear him or ignored him and looked through the cabinets, "Amu-chan," Dia said, "Ikuto's right. You need to be aware of your body's weakness right now. Wait until you get stronger before doing anything difficult."

Amu just groaned, "Fine…but I'm still making the snacks," she said stubbornly.

Ikuto sighed and the charas sweat dropped, "She doesn't get it does she~ nya…" Yoru said.

"Nope…" Ikuto stated and turned the TV on.

"Make something simple~ desu!" Su yelled, "Like…like…"

"Sandwiches!" Ran and Miki yelled worried.

"Please don't push yourself Amu-chan…" Dia said softly.

Amu nodded though not turning to them. Ikuto stared at the TV, but was tuned into Amu moving around in the kitchen. He wanted to make sure she wouldn't pass out again. Amu quickly made two small plates of sandwiches and set them on the coffee table then sat down beside Ikuto sighing tiredly, "If that tired you out Strawberry, then there's no way I'm letting you anywhere near a battlefield," Ikuto stated.

Amu glared at him, "I'm fin-whoa…" Amu said grabbing her head.

"Don't you dare faint on me again," Ikuto said and picked up a sandwich.

He quickly double checked that it wasn't a peanut butter sandwich before giving it to her, "Eat something while I go get you some juice," he stated and stood up.

Amu blinked, but did as Ikuto asked. Ikuto came back with a glass of fruit punch, "Drink," he stated.

Amu took the glass and drank it slowly, "When did you become my mom?" she asked.

"After you fainted~ nya," Yoru stated, but was soon flicked by Ikuto's finger.

"Shut it," Ikuto stated and sat down again.

Amu looked at Ikuto, "Did I really worry you that much?" she asked him.

"Are you kidding!" Miki said, "The minute he found out about your allergy he went bonkers!"

"Didn't I say to shut it?" Ikuto snapped.

"No, you told Yoru to shut it, not me," Miki stated smirking.

Amu blinked at Ikuto, "Ikuto?" Amu asked.

"It's nothing…just drop it," Ikuto said staring at the TV.

Amu was about to comment when there was a knock at the door. Amu went to answer it, but Ikuto stood up first, "Not on your life Amu," Ikuto said, "You stay there and finish the juice."

Amu sighed and sat back on the couch. Ikuto answered the door and Yukari and Yuu stood there with everyone. The charas flew to Ran, Miki, Su, Dia, and Yoru while everyone entered the small apartment, "Okay," Yukari said, "Let's see what we can do before my parents get here…"

"Onee-chan, it can't be as bad as you think it will," Kairi said.

"So…you're Amu?" Nagi asked.

Amu nodded and set the juice on the table and Ikuto stood beside as if daring her to stand up, "And you have four Guardian Characters?" Tadase asked.

"Yes," Amu stated, "This is Ran, Miki, Su, Dia, and Ikuto's chara, Yoru."

"Why are you staying here?" Rima asked bored.

"Because…Wall-ie kidnapped my family," Amu stated causing everyone's head to perk up, "And, when you remembered who we were, we all decided that I was to stay with Ikuto so we wouldn't have to explain to your parents what happened."

"Well, that does sound like something we'd do if we had to…" Kairi said.

"Ooo, ham," Kukai said and grabbed a sandwich and stuffed it in his mouth.

Ikuto rolled his eyes with Utau, "You're annoying," they said in unison.

"Maybe you two are related!" Rikka said happily.

"Not in this lifetime!" Utau yelled.

Amu sighed, "What will it take for you guys to believe that Wall-ie did something to you?" she asked.

"What do our charas represent, what did we get for Christmas this year, and name one thing about us," Rima stated bored, but serious at the same time.

Ikuto sighed, "I'll get the water…" he stated and headed for the kitchen.

Amu sat up, "Temari represents Nagi's desire to be more mannered and become a Japanese dancer while Rhythm represents his liking of basketball and other sports," Amu started causing Nagi's to blink, "Daichi was born when Kukai wanted to do many sports but had to choose. Kiseki was created from Tadase's desire to become stronger and his dream of world domination," this caused Tadase to blush from embarrassment because of his dream, "Kusukusu was created from Rima's desire to make everyone laugh. Pepe represents Yaya's desire to become a baby again and to get more love from her parents. Hotaru was born from Rikka's wish to be more open and caring to her friends. And finally Akio represents Hikaru's wish to be brighter in his personality and show his emotions more freely."

Everyone was shocked and Ikuto came in with a tray full of glasses of water, "Any of you make a waiter comment and I'll cut you to tiny pieces," Ikuto stated and set the tray on the coffee table.

Amu took a glass off the trey and drank some of it before turning back to her friends, "And as for Christmas presents," she said and set the glass on the coffee table, "Nagi got a signed picture of his favorite basketball player, Kukai got soccer tickets that were sold out for months, Tadase got a puppy, whom you named Bethany, Rima got two issues of her favorite comic before the release date, Yaya got a piece of candy from all over the world, Kairi got a real life samurai sword, Utau got two tickets to Hawaii, for both her and Sanjo-san, Rikka got a pure silver butterfly necklace, and Hikaru got several gems he didn't have."

Amu then took the glass again and took a couple sips, "Dang!" Kukai yelled, "This girl is good!"

"She's known you guys for at least two years," Ikuto stated.

"And finally," Amu said as she set the now empty glass on the coffee table again, "Nagi pretended to be a girl in most of elementary school," Nagi did a double take, "Rima's parents fight," Rima gasped her poker face disappearing, "Tadase's dog, Betty, died a couple years ago," Tadase winced, "And-"

"Enough!" Kairi said panicked, "I-I think we get it."

"Okay, so you are a friend that was erased from our memories," Utau said, "But this still doesn't prove that you're my brother."

Ikuto went over to Utau and whispered something in her ear so no one else could hear. Utau went wide eyed and wound up against the back wall looking at Ikuto in shock as he smirked, "H-how do y-you know t-that?" Utau said fearfully.

"Because I'm your older brother and I know every single thing about you," Ikuto said smirking, "And you too Tadase."

Tadase went wide eyed, "Uh, I'm good," he said laughing nervously, "I don't need any proof."

Ikuto smirked and went back beside Amu who looked a little confused. Yukari then stepped in, "So now that you understand the situation…what do we do?" she asked.

"That's…a good question…" Kairi said, "We get that our memories were taken from us, but we still don't know how to get them back."

"Maybe it's like real amnesia," Amu said, "Maybe if we try and bring back some memories…"

"Maybe," Yuu said, "But for now, I think it'd be best for Amu to get some rest."

"Now wait a minute-" Yukari was cut off when Yuu and Kairi were pushing her out of the apartment.

Slowly everyone left the small apartment leaving only Ikuto, Amu, and their charas, "Well, that went well," Ikuto stated.

"I guess," Amu said, "I'm just glad we were able to convince them."

"With everything you knew," Ikuto said, "I'm not that surprised."

"Mmm," Amu said tiredly.

"Okay," Ikuto said and picked the middle school student up bridal style, "Naptime."

Amu didn't argue because she was asleep the minute Ikuto picked her up. Ikuto set her on the bed and put the blanket over her then left. Ran, Miki, Su, Dia, and Yoru went up to Ikuto, "Do you want me to cook dinner tonight~ desu?" Su asked.

"I'll just order take out," Ikuto stated, "And speaking of cooking…"

Ikuto went into the kitchen and started going through the cabinets, "What are you doing Ikuto?" Ran asked.

"Looking at the ingredients of everything to make sure there aren't any nuts in them," Ikuto stated, "Amu isn't really careful about her allergy as she should be."

"Wait, so even the slightest thing of nuts can set her off?" Miki asked.

"Depends on the condition," Ikuto stated still going through the cabinets, "But I'm not taking any chances."

Dia giggled for some reason, "What?" Ikuto asked annoyed.

"Nothing…" Dia said then flew away with her sisters following.

"That was odd~ nya," Yoru said.

"Uh, huh," Ikuto said not really paying attention to his chara.

"Can I help~ nya?" Yoru asked.

"Start going through the fridge," Ikuto stated, "And don't eat the fish or drink the milk."

Yoru whined, but agreed. Meanwhile, Dia watched as Ikuto and his chara worried over her owner's health, "Dia…" Ran said causing the yellow chara to turn, "What are you doing?"

Dia smiled knowingly, "Nothing…" she said and looked at Ikuto and Yoru again.

"Alright, what's up with you!" Miki yelled.

Dia just smiled and floated into the bedroom with Amu. The three older charas looked at each other, "I think she's finally cracked," Miki stated.

"No…" Su said, "I think she just figured something out before we did."

"Figures," Ran muttered then followed her sisters into the bedroom.

Meanwhile…

Akiko was walking through the park with Airi and Emi each floating above one of her shoulders, "Akiko," Airi said softly, "What's wrong? You've been so distracted lately."

Akiko sighed, "I-I'm not positive, but…" she said, "But yesterday…I think I felt The Source."

"What!" Airi and Emi yelled, "Are you sure?"

"Mmm," Akiko said nodding, "I think so, but I'm not positive."

"Then that means we're closer to being free!" Airi said happily.

"I said I wasn't positive Airi," Akiko said, "But…it does open a door of hope, doesn't it?"

Emi and Airi nodded, "Hinamori was released today," Emi said, "Are you going to tell her parents?"

"Yeah, I better do that," Akiko said and character changed with Airi and flew off.

"…only The Source is powerful enough to destroy my murderous side."
