~Ikuto POV~
"T-Tadase." I looked at Amu. Her face was pale and she was shaking.
"I finally found you. You thought you could hide forever from me, but now you life is mine. Soon I'll be the king of this world. With my powers and you by my side, we'll rule the world! Nobody can stop us and as soon as I'm done with you I'll go after your little step-sister." Tadase said. Man was this guy crazy.
"Don't you even dare lay a finger on Mizuki." Amu said. "Or else I'll fry you to a crisp." Amu threatened.
"Oh sure you are." Tadase said and lunged at Amu. Amu had no time to react so I shielded her. Tadase fell down with an "Oof."
"Don't you dare hurt Amu." I glared at the blond haired guy at my foot.
"Oh so Amu's so weak she needs a bodyguard?" Tadase got up and wiped the blood at his mouth with his sleeve.
"Don't go messing with my business. I don't need you to help me." Amu said from behind me.
"No. I hurt you and now I'm going to help you whether you want me to or not." I said. I then lunged at Tadase.
I missed and Tadase grabbed my foot and threw me toward the trees. Tadase then used Earth to make the roots tie me up. I smirked and used Teleport to teleport in fount of Tadase. I then punched Tadase. Tadase fell down but then used Minds. I then used Air to push Tadase when Tadase used Earth to block the attack. Tadase kept the wall of Earth in fount of me. Just wait. Soon that guy will need to let go of the wall. Suddenly I felt the air being sucked out of me. That guy used Teleport to appear behind me and is now using Air so I can't breath! I could imagine my face slowly becoming red for oxygen. I could hear Amu screaming for Tadase to let me go. I soon collapsed. Tadagay loom over me.
"What a weakling. Can't even stand up to a 15 year old guy." Tadagay laughed and started kicking and punching me. I started coughing up blood. I looked at Amu. She had tears streaming down her face. I then looked up to see Tadase holding a magic gun*.
(Magic Gun~ a gun with a magic bullet. The magic bullet has all the power of the elements. They are illegal in the magic world.)
The gun clicked and Tadagay pointed it at my head. I looked at Amu, wanting her to be my last sight before I die. I then closed my eyes, waiting for impact but it never came. I then opened my eyes to see Tadase in a weird position. He was doing the chicken dance? I then looked at Amu. She was using Control! I then saw Tadagay pointing the magic gun at himself.
"I'm sorry." I heard from Amu and with a last motion of her hands, the magic bullet shot through the gun to Tadagay. He then fell down onto the ground. Amu then started shaking. Amu then collapsed. Oh no. I then painfully pushed myself up. I then started walking toward Amu. I willed my burning legs to go forward and not collapse. There were a trail of blood running down my legs and dripping on the ground but I kept trying to go faster. Finally I made it to Amu. I hugged her and started transferring my energy to her. I then started calling for help.
~Amu POV~
"Is she okay?"
"Don't die."
"You gotta live sis."
I slowly open my eyes. Everything was a blur to me. I then blinked a few times. Everything then cam into focus. I saw everybody around me. Utau crying, Kukai pacing, Nagihiko sitting down on a chair with his head down, Rima comforting Utau, Yaya bouncing around, Lulu trying to stop Yaya, Kairi reading a book, trying to find ways to wake me up, Mizuki shaking my arm and Ikuto hugging me. Wait hold it right there. Ikuto hugging me? Had he gone crazy? I then slapped his arm saying, "Stop hugging me you pervert." Everybody stopped what they were going and rushed to me. We then became a dog pile like at football games.
"Okay guys. Get off of me. I can't breath." I then started pushing them, gasping for air. Everybody settled down and started talking at once.
"Hey you guys, one at a time." I said. They then stopped talking.
"So what happened?" I asked.
"You collapsed because you had no more energy in your body anymore. You used a lot for that beauty spell and then when you used Control, you used the last of your energy." I looked up to see the doctor. "You would have died if not this young man gave you his energy." The doctor looked at Ikuto. Woah wait a second. He saved me? Impossible.
"So how long am I going to be here?" I asked.
"Maybe a week. We had been transferring energy into you. Your friends gave you some of their energy too. After about a week, you'll have enough energy to last a year." The doctor said. The doctor then left when a nurse came to see him.
"Amu we'll so sorry about breaking your spell and even more sorry we didn't trust you and listen to your side of the story." Utau said.
"Yeah will you ever forgive us?" Rima asked.
"Aww you guys. I could never stay mad at you." I said and pulled them into another hug.
"Hey what about me? I saved your life." Ikuto said.
"Fine." I grumbled and pulled him into a hug. "No more." I glared at him.
"Aw I wanted a kiss." Ikuto pouted like an 8 year old. I glared at him.
"So are you guys going to forgive to each other about Ikuto's little joke or not?" Kukai asked.
"Fine." I grumbled. "Ikuto I forgive you."
"And I'm sorry about the little joke." Ikuto said.
Then everybody start chanting, "Hug, Hug, Hug." I rolled my eyes and hugged Ikuto. After that we talked about some things while I was asleep. They said I was asleep for about 3 days.
"So did anything else happen?" I looked into each of their eyes. They started sweating under my glaze. Finally Utau, Kukai, Nagihiko, Rima, Yaya, and Kairi burst out saying at the same time, "We're engaged."
I giggled. "Let me guess. Nagihiko and Rima, you're engaged together, Utau and Kukai are engaged with each other and Yaya and Kairi are together." I said.
"How you know?" They asked.
"The guys would stare at you girls and you girls would blush like crazy." I said.
"So Amu, now that you're awake, we want to tell you that there's going to be a surprise party for you." Yaya said.
"Yaya!" Everybody shouted.
"Opps." Yaya giggled. Soon we started laughing with her. I looked at my friends. I was lucky to have such great friends.
~A week later still Amu POV~
I was finally out of the hospital. After signing the papers and stuff, my friends drove us back to the beach house. We still had one more day before school started again. Before my friends searched for me, I learned that Mizuki made Saaya faint and called her parents to pick her up, saying that Saaya collapsed. Saaya would have come back to the beach house after she woke up but we figured Saaya wanted to shop for new clothes to impress Ikuto. Good thing we brought our clothes before we left. Well we came back to the house and everybody but me rushed inside. I giggled and started walking toward the shore. I took off my sandals to feel the cool seawater wash over my foot. Soon everybody called me to come back inside. I grabbed my sandals and ran back to the house. I stepped inside and gasped. Everywhere, there were party balloons and a huge table with food and there was a huge banner that said, "Welcome Back Amu!"
"Aw thanks you guys. I love it." I then hugged them. We then started partying. We played Freeze dance and stuff like that. Soon it was night time. We soon got into our PJs and went to bed. I slipped under the covers but kept on tossing and turning. I decided to go outside to the roof. I crept outside and climbed up the roof.
"Boo." I freaked out and lost my grip. I waited for impact. It never came. I opened one eye to see a hand holding my wrist. I open my other eye. Another hand grabbed my other wrist. They then host me up. I looked at the person. It was Ikuto. I glared at him.
"You didn't have to scare me like that." I said.
"But it's fun." He said. I glared harder at him.
"So you couldn't sleep too?" I asked. He nodded his head. I then looked at the moon shining so bright, making the water sparkle. Everything was beautiful at night time. We didn't speak for a long time till Ikuto broke the silence.
"I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't mean to hurt you." Ikuto said.
"It's alright. Besides Saaya was using a Control spell over you." I said.
"But did you really mean what you said to me? The 'I love you'?" I asked.
"Yes I did." Ikuto said. My heart skipped a beat and then started beating like crazy.
"So you went bold about it?" I asked.
"Yep. I couldn't hold it in my heart any longer and I blurted it out at you." Ikuto said. I then rested my head on my knees.
"Aren't girls supposed to confess first?" I asked.
"Well I didn't know about your feelings. You would always call me a pervert and say you hate me and stuff so well I didn't think you liked me but I wanted to be sure so I boldly said it. Well you fainted so I thought you didn't like me too." Ikuto said.
"Well to tell you the truth I like you too. You were the first person to like me because of who I am, not because of my looks or powers." I said. I could feel the heat coming up my cheeks. We were talking about how we liked each other and Ikuto was calm about everything while I was a nervous wreck.
"So we like each other." Ikuto said.
"Yep" I answered.
"Does that mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend?" Ikuto asked. I rolled my eyes and lightly punched him. We then looked out at the beautiful moon, water and the stars.
