Chapter 5

Truth revealed

Ikuto's pov

I walked into my house a few days after leaving Amu. I knew I would get yelled at by Utau and Yoru. Especially if Yoru had found out that I had left Amu. He seemed rather protective of the small pink haired girl. My chest felt heavy whenever I thought of her. I closed the door silently. Knowing I would be dead if anyone woke up. I glanced at the large clock that sat in the corner of the large room. A light was still coming from Yoru's room. I sighed and walked up the stairs, Stepping over the loose step so I made as little noise as possible. I realized that Yoru was talking on a phone. I stopped to listen.

"Neh Miki why won't you come back ~nyaa" He whispered not wanting anyone to hear. Too bad I'm listening, I smirked. Wait miki wasn't she one of Amu's friends one of the ones who died. I stepped closer to the door.

"Miki none of us want to keep it from Amu any more. Nagihiko almost went to her house to tell her. Miki why did you leave Amu-Chan" he asked his voice a bit louder. My eyes narrowed and anger spread through my body. At least one of Amu's friends was alive and she was the only one who didn't know. "And miki I'm afraid to… rhythm!" he was listening to the person on the other line. "Rhythm Amu hasn't been seen in three days I'm worried, Ikuto's been missing too." He slammed the phone down and crossed his arms. I opened the door and leaned against the frame.

"If you're so protective of Amu why don't you tell her" I said trying to keep my voice in control. He looked at me then jumped up. "Ikuto! Nyaa~" he stared at me in shock. I smirked.

"Why aren't you with Amu?" I asked eye brow raised. He glared at me. "I would be if she hadn't gone missing" outside it began to rain. My eyes widened. "What do you mean missing?" I said grabbing his shirt. He blinked.

"Why do you care nyaa?" I released his shirt, and stepped away. What am I thinking why do I care about that girl. She's just another target someone to toy with. But why the hell am I so pissed that people are hiding things from her. I thought as I ran out of the house. I decided to search for her. There were a lot of things that could happen to a girl who didn't care at two in the morning. She could be hurt or have been attacked. What if some pervert found her and… I shook the thought from my head, and continued to run. I had to find her soon or I might lose it. "AMU!" I yelled I got no response. Cursing I continued to search calling out her name.

At some point I tripped on a stone and fell to the ground. By then I was soaked to the bone, and extremely tired. All I could see were Amu's honey colored eyes pleading for my help. I got to my feet unsteadily and continued my search. Knowing that some where Amu needed me.

Amu's pov

I don't know where I am. I know I'm outside somewhere. Soaking wet, I'm also hurt not only physically but mentally. My heart feels like it's been ripped out. I can't seem to remember why. I don't remember much I just can't move. When I try to pain sears through my body causing my eyes to spill over with tears. I tried to remember why I wasn't at home and why I was in such pain. But thinking hurt so much. Maybe it would be ok to sleep for a bit. My head throbbed. Sleep will be nice. No I can't sleep my head hurts I hit it on something. Something bad might happen if I go to sleep. But maybe just maybe if I could just rest my eyes it would be ok. My eyes started to drift shut.

: Flash back:

I walked out of the apartment. It was raining outside but I didn't think to take my jacket, or my shoes for that matter. I thought maybe if I walked around a bit I could find Ikuto, maybe he would tell me why he left. I wandered for hours searching but not finding. It rained the entire time. It was dark. I walked into a park and lay on a bench.

Next thing I knew it was morning. I sat up and looked around. People were staring at me. I didn't care. I just walked. What was I looking for? Some one important, my head hurt a bit and I shook my head. Ikuto, that's who I was looking for. I need to find him. I need him, his warmth, his voice; I needed to hear him tell me everything was ok. I stumbled off my feet hurt from walking on the rough ground. Once again I walked for hours. It was dark out and I thought I saw a bit of blue hair I sped up crossing the street without looking. There was a bright light, then a loud noise. I was on the ground I could smell blood. I crawled to the nearby alley way. I sat against the wall and stared at the sky.

: Flashback:

What's the point of looking for him, I thought to myself. He left me. He doesn't want me around he thinks I'm cursed just like everyone else. My head was still throbbing it was lighter out now. Did I fall asleep? What time is it? I was soaked to the bone and shaking uncontrollably. So sleepy still and it hurts so much. Someone was running towards me. Everything was getting fuzzy. I could barely make out blue hair. "I…Ikuto" I managed to say before I blacked out.

Ikuto's pov

It's about five in the morning and I still haven't found her. I cursed under my breath and kept searching. My clothes were soaked and I had a few scratches from falling. But I won't stop till I find my Amu. Great there I go again calling her my amu. I froze; across the street was an alley. I could smell blood and see pink. I ran over, jumping over a car. I was right.

"I…Ikuto" she muttered. Her eyes started to droop. I could see that she had a gash on her head. I knelt next to her. "No amu! No you need to stay awake amu!" I said pulling her against my chest. She shuddered. She was so cold and seemed thinner. I need to get her somewhere warm. I took out my phone and called Yoru.

were opened but no life was visible in them. Her body was cold and she didn't move at all. I placed my hand on her neck and felt the faint pulse. I took off my jacket and placed it on her shoulders. Knowing it wouldn't do much good. I lifted her up gently noticing that she flinched. I carried her towards the park ignoring the stares I was getting.

When I reached the park I found Yoru leaning against my car waiting for me. He stared in shock when he saw that I had amu. He was even more surprised when he saw that both of us were in bad condition. His eyes narrowed.

"Ikuto what did you do to amu" he growled. I glared at him.

"Saved her. You drive turn the heat all the way up." I ordered as I got into the passenger's side, holding amu close to my chest. I remembered that she didn't like cars. Yoru got in and turned the car on. I hit the button for the heat. Amu's eyes were drooping again. "No amu you can't sleep just hold on ok" I shook her a bit and pressed my sweater to her head. She winced and seemed to wake up a bit.

"That's it Amu just stay awake a bit longer. You can sleep soon but not now ok." I said gently. She muttered and began shaking. I reached in the back and pulled out a bag. Yoru glanced at me.

"Ikuto what are you doing?" he asked. From the bag I pulled out a shirt and a pair of shorts. I gently removed her shirt and put the dry one on her. Yoru blushed a bit and looked away as I started to change her pants. I put the bag and her wet close back behind my seat.

"Should we go to the hospital?" Yoru asked. I glanced at him. "Yeah we should. I think a few of her ribs are broken." I muttered deep in thought. Yoru nodded and turn. I glared at him. "You forgot to signal idiot" I said. He blinked and glanced at me. "Ikuto your acting strange nyaa~" he said. Suddenly there was a flashing light and the sound of a siren. Yoru sweat dropped then pulled over. I pulled out the registration and placed my jacket over Amu's frail body. Yoru rolled down the window.

"Sorry officer nyaa. It's just our…" I cut him off. "Our sister got hit by a car" I said indicating Amu's unconscious form. The cop looked worried. "Do you need an escort?" he asked. I nodded and shifted Amu closer. She mumbled something. "Don't worry Amu soon you can sleep" I whispered kissing her forehead. She was burning up.

Yoru began driving faster. Following the cop. Amu's breathing became deeper as though she was struggling to breath. I looked down at her worried. The car jerked to a stop outside the emergency room and I jumped out being careful not to move Amu too much. When we got inside she was whisked away by some nurses. I followed. They tried to stop me but I lied and told them I was her brother. They nodded and let me through. I held onto her hand the entire way. "just hang in there amu your going to be ok"
