Chapter 11

Normal pov.

Ikuto sat with his head in his hands. The skin under his eyes was black showing that he hadn't slept. Sitting at his feet was a cup of cold coffee. It would be hard to tell from a distance but he was finally asleep. Utau silently placed a blanket on his shoulders. Amu had been out of surgery for ten minutes but was still deeply sedated. Soon the medication should wear off and she would wake up. Until then the others decided to let him sleep. He seemed so pathetic right now, refusing to relax until he knows whether or not Amu would be ok.

Yoru picked up the cold cup and went to refill it. In Amu's hospital room Ran Miki and Suu waited in a couch in the corner. Ran and Suu were asleep. Miki sat hugging her knees. Her long blue hair fell in front of her face. Amu's eyes opened and for a moment she stared at the ceiling before closing them again. Nobody noticed the stranger in all black slip in through the window and whisper into Amu's ear. Amu laid there her eyes closed until she heard the click of the window locking itself. She sat up and looked around. She jumped up in panic when she didn't see Ikuto. No one else was awake. She ran out of the room looking for him.

"Ikuto!?" She said quietly as she walked into the waiting room. He blinked, awakened by the soft voice. "Amu when did you wake up?" he asked as he walked over to her. She smiled and hugged him. Letting his body heat warm her cold arms. "Just a few minutes ago. You look horrible Ikuto" she said blinking. He smirked and nuzzled her neck causing her face to turn bright red.

"Still as easy to tease as ever Amu-koi" he purred his lips brushing against her ear. She blushed more and pressed her face into his shirt. Ikuto smiled and picked her up bridal style. "You shouldn't be out of bed baka" he said. Amu just nodded and held onto his shirt tightly. "You need a shower Ikuto" she plugged her nose and looked away. Ikuto pouted. "Hey that's mean." He said as he laid her on the bed. She just smiled and moved over so he had room to lie down. He did, and wrapped his arm around her carefully. "Soon you'll be able to leave then we can start packing your things." He whispered into her ear. Already he was starting to fall back asleep. "What do you mean Ikuto?" she asked hoping to get an answer before he fell asleep. He smiled. "I bought a house for us. Not much but I think you'll like it. We can move in as soon as you're better. Even got the baby's room ready."

"Huh the baby's room but shouldn't we wait till we know whether it's a boy or girl?" amu asked as she brushed some of his hair out his face. "I already know they found out while you were unconscious." He said snuggling closer to her. He laid his head on her shoulder and placed a hand on her stomach. Amu blushed and hugged him. He fell asleep. Finally able to relax.

Amu's pov

I laid in the bed holding Ikuto close. His body seemed unusually warm. He wore himself out worrying about me, she thought. I smiled a bit. There is no way he doesn't love me. No matter how he acts he is kind at heart. I love him so much. He's my Ikuto, Even if he does have the habit of acting like an alley cat. I looked down at him as he snuggled closer to me. A husband, a child, a house, everything seems so perfect, That guy doesn't know what he's talking about, I thought remembering the man who had snuck in. 'things are not as good as they seem. Dark times come your way' he had said. That was just some weirdo's joke.

I sat up in surprise as a loud noise came from the hallway. Gently laying Ikuto's head on the pillow I slipped off the bed and walked towards the hallway carefully. From my room I could see the reception area. Four men stood there dressed in all black with ski masks covering their faces. Each had a large gun. I ran back to the bed and clung to Ikuto. I shook him a bit trying to wake him up. he mumbled something then opened his eyes.

"Amu calm down what's wrong?" he asked, sitting up. "Ikuto there are people with guns out there" I whispered. His eyes narrowed and he walked over to the window. His eyes widened when he saw the guys. "Amu pretend you're still out of it. Don't move and keep your eyes closed no matter what happens." He said as he jumped over the bed. He crouched low to the floor where he couldn't be seen from the door. I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes as the door to the room opened.

"There's four people here ones a patient I'll bring the others out" he said into a head set. I laid there as I heard him wake up Ran Miki and Suu. "Hey who the hell are you!?" miki yelled when she saw him. He pointed his gun at her. "Shut up and get to the reception room before I shoot your friend." I had a feeling that his gun was pointed at me. The man left with Ran Miki and Suu. Ikuto stood up and placed his hand on mine. "Ikuto what do we do I'm scared what if they hurt them?" I whispered. He leaned down and kissed my forehead. "Don't worry amu I called 911 police will be here soon. I'm going to get you out of here so just stay quiet." He whispered as he lifted me from the bed. "Ikuto what are you doing!" I said grabbing his shirt. "Amu just shut up I'm getting you out of here." He said as he opened the window then jumped out. "Ikuto what about the others" I whispered.

"Everyone will be ok Amu. Trust me the police will get them out safely." He said. Then both of us were quiet as he snuck past the reception room window. I glanced inside. Ran Miki and Suu were lying on the ground next to a girl with her blonde hair in two pigtails. Ikuto waited till the robbers were looking away from the window then he ran past. In front of the hospital police had set up a barrier and were demanding that they release the hostages. When they saw me and Ikuto they rushed forward and hurried us behind the barrier.

They questioned us and I answered as best as I could. A blanket was wrapped around my shoulders. Ikuto went off to talk with a police officer.

Ikuto's pov

I put my hand on the shoulder of the police chief and steered him away from Amu so he could ask a few more questions. I didn't want Amu getting worked up. "What was your name again?" he asked as he leaned against a squad car. "Ikuto Tsukiyomi" I said crossing my arms. I glanced back over at Amu who was being taken care of by a paramedic from another hospital.

"Tsukiyomi Ikuto as in the president of Easter?" the cop asked shocked. I just nodded still keeping my eyes on Amu. "Yeah listen both my younger siblings are in there along with my fiancé's friends. Figure out a way to get them out quick or I'll have to have my people come and get them. Of course they aren't concerned with the other hostages." I said grimly glad that we had walked away from Amu. The cop looked up at me obviously knowing that I wasn't lying. "I see. Well how did you get out? We can send some people in to try and get the upper hand" he said looking at me warily. I knew he would listen since I was the president of a company that ran most of the town including the police department. On call and he could lose his job or disappear.

It's not like I had wanted to take over Easter but since it was all my father left to me I figured that I should at least run it. I would probably never tell Amu about that part of my life. Never tell her that I controlled everything and could give her anything she wanted. She might become afraid of me.

"The way I got out is a window on the side of the hospital. You have to pass a window that leads to the reception room but after that you should be able to get in without being seen. Don't tell Amu about Easter. She doesn't know and she doesn't need to know. I'm taking her home I expect to see my siblings in an hour if not I'm calling my people." I walked away from him and over to Amu. She was shivering. For the first time I noticed it was snowing. I sat down next to her.

"Amu are you ok?" I asked pulling her against my chest. She nodded moving closer. "I'm ok but what about Ran Miki and Suu?" she asked I frowned. "They'll be fine don't worry amu the police will get everyone out safe" I whispered. Pressing my face in her hair. She smiled and nodded. "I know but I'm still worried what if they get shot or something." I chuckled. "Amu there in the best place to get hurt. It's a hospital there are doctors everywhere nothing is going to happen." She nodded and closed her eyes.
