Chapter 16
[Amu's pov]
When I woke up I was laying in bed next to Ikuto. Ok more like pressed against Ikuto. My arms were wrapped around his waist and my head was resting on his chest. His eyes were open and…cold, Ice cold, angry. Who was he angry with, me? He's not the one who should be angry I'm the one who should be angry. He lied to me. Most of my friends lied to me. Tears spilled out of my eyes and onto Ikuto's chest. He didn't say anything but his eyes seemed to soften a bit. I got up and walked out of the room. I could feel Ikuto's eyes on me the whole time.
The tears were still spilling from my eyes when I walked into the twin's room. Akiko was awake so I picked her up and sunk into the rocking chair. She smiled up at me reaching her small hand towards a necklace that rested around my neck. I blinked in surprise. That wasn't there last night. Where did it come from? Was it from Ikuto? Could this be his way of apologizing? Well I won't be bought. But it is really beautiful. I placed my hand on the necklace. Akiko giggled and grabbed my shirt. I couldn't help but smile.
"Let's go make breakfast for everyone ok" I said standing up. She smiled and pointed at Akira's crib. Akira was about to start crying. I picked him up and carried them downstairs. The kitchen was a mess. Ikuto and Hikaru were cooking. I stifled my laughter and sat down. I was still made at them. I laid a blanket on my shoulder and started feeding Akiko. Ikuto glanced over at me a few times but looked away whenever I looked at him.
"What's for breakfast?" I asked Hikaru. He smiled and wiped something off his face. "Today's breakfast is eggs and French toast." He said with a smile. I smiled back and then sat Akiko in her chair and picked up Akira. He kept squirming around and wouldn't eat. I sighed in frustration. Suddenly Ikuto lifted Akira from my arms. "Come on Akira aren't you hungry?" Ikuto asked the new born baby. Akira just stared at him his head resting against his father's bare shoulder.
Without realizing it I stared at Ikuto. He was standing there holding Akira calming him down. He was a perfect father. No not perfect he owns Easter. "Ikuto give me Akira I need to feed him" I said crossing my arms. He frowned at me then set Akira down. "Amu comes with me" he said dragging me off. "No hey Ikuto let go of me!" I yelled struggling to get away. He narrowed his eyes and pushed me against the wall. His face was less than an inch away from mine. I swallowed and waited for what he was going to say. He sighed, and placed his forehead against mine.
"Amu doesn't do this to me" he begged his voice low. I glared at him.
"Why didn't you just tell me!? If you had I wouldn't be so mad at you! If you had just told me right away then maybe things would have been better!" I yelled. His striking blue eyes were sad and hurt but also angry.
"Damn it amu! This is exactly why I didn't tell you. I knew you would react this way if you knew. Amu I didn't tell you because I love you" he whispered. I stared at him; it wasn't often that he said that. He didn't usually show his emotions. I moved my face away from his and laid it on his shoulder, pressing my lips against his neck. He released his grip on my wrist. I slid my arms around his waist holding him tightly tears spilling out of my eyes. "I just don't know anymore Ikuto. I'm just not sure what to think." I whispered. He wrapped one arm around my shoulder and stroked my hair with the other. "Then don't think Amu" he whispered, kissing my neck.
[Ikuto's pov. A few hours later]
I laid in the bed my arms behind my head, staring at the ceiling. Amu had taken the kids to visit Utau and that was something I could do without. With Utau and Kukai there I felt safe letting Amu leave the house. And knowing Yoru he would probably show up at some point. I closed my eyes and could almost smell Amu's strawberry scented shampoo. But then that was probably because I was using her pillow.
Even though Amu is with people I trust I still can't shake the feeling that something's not right. I can't shake the feeling that amu wouldn't be coming home. This thought made me worry for her safety. I sat up taking my phone out of my pocket I dialed her number. The phone rang but no one answered. I hung up and tried Utau's phone. She answered after the first ring. "Ikuto!!!!" she yelled into the phone. I sighed and rubbed my ear.
"Damn Utau do you have to be so loud" I complained. She sighed.
"Sorry Mr. grumpy. Why are you calling anyway?" she asked. I frowned, shouldn't it be obvious. "Amu wasn't answering her phone so I called you. Can I talk to her?" I said impatiently. It took a moment for her to respond. "Ikuto, Amu isn't here" she said confused. I stood up. "Then where is she" I demanded. "I don't know Ikuto. I haven't talked to her for a while." She admitted. I cursed and slammed the phone shut. I ran into the twin's room. Many of their things were missing. Mostly clothes diapers and other necessities. Their favorite toys were also gone. I cursed again and tried to call Amu one more time. When she didn't answer I ran down the stairs.
Ignoring the fact that all I had on was a pair of black skinny jeans and black converse. I ran out the door trying to think of a place Amu might go. I got an idea and ran off. I remembered the house I had found her at the first time. I completely ignored the car and just ran, ignoring the people who stared at me.
Why did Amu lie to me? Is she still mad at me? Why did she take the kids? These thoughts ran through my head as I ran through the streets. I bumped into people, ran in front of cars got yelled at. But I didn't stop. I wouldn't stop till I found her. I finally reached the house. I broke the door open and looked around. The house was empty everything gone.
"Amu!" I called out my voice echoing around the empty house. I ran up the stairs and opened a door. The room was pink, and almost completely empty. The only furniture left was a bed. And lying on that bed were two objects. When I realized what they were a sharp pain started in my chest. I picked up the first one, a gold lock with a clover on it. The second was a navy blue ring box. I didn't have to open to know I would find the engagement ring inside.
[Normal pov]
Ikuto stumbled down the stairs and out the front door of the house. His body seemed to be numb. He didn't even feel the rain as it poured down. A neighbor walking down the street noticed him standing outside the house.
"Excuse me sir do you need something. This family moved out." The lady said. She seemed like the kind of person that knew everyone's business. Ikuto walked over to her. Maybe she had a clue about where Amu had gone.
"Well truth is I'm looking for someone" he said running his hand through his wet hair.
"Who ya looking for?" she asked warily. Ikuto sighed and looked up at the sky.
"My wife and kids. We had an argument and she left. This is the house she grew up I thought maybe she had come here. It wouldn't be the first time. When did they move out?" he asked.
"They took the last of the stuff today. Now that I think about it Hinamori-san had two babies with her. Is she your wife?" she asked. Ikuto could tell she was trying to get information from him just like he was trying to get some from her.
"Yeah Amu is my wife. So she was here. Do you know where she was moving the things?" he asked impatiently.
"Sorry Hun she wouldn't tell me where. Just told me she was going abroad. I think she said her plane leaves today" she admitted. Ikuto cursed and ran towards the air port.
"What a rude young man" she muttered before walking back to her house. She opened the front door and sat down on the couch next to a certain pinkette. She sighed.
"Amu dear are you sure you want to let that boy go. He seems truly worried about you and the babies." She said in a sweet voice. Amu smiled sadly and looked down at the picture in her hand. It was of Ikuto just after the twins were born. He was holding them both and sitting in a plastic hospital chair. His eyes were filled with love. Amu closed her eyes as tears threatened to fall. She had to be strong for the twins.
"Thank you for letting me stay here till the plane leaves aunty." She said putting the picture away. The kind older woman frowned. "Let me get you some tea Amu then you can tell me what happened since your parents died. I know I saw you going into the house most days even though you lived somewhere else. Then you suddenly stopped coming." She said as she walked into the kitchen. Amu looked over at the play pen where Akiko and Akira slept hand in hand. She smiled and placed a blanket over them.
"Now why don't you tell me what happened" the lady said as she set down two cups of tea and sat down. Amu sat back down on the couch and picked up the cup. She inhaled the scent then took a sip. Then she took a deep breath and began to tell her everything. The woman just sat there listening to Amu's story and handed her a handkerchief when she began to tell the story.
"Amu isn't it possible that he really did keep it from you because he loves you?" she asked when Amu had finished. Amu looked down and nodded. "I know that's why. But I left for a different reason" she said looking down at her now empty cup. "I left to protect the twins. If we had stayed there who knows how many times they would have been put in danger. They wouldn't have been able to grow up with a normal life. I couldn't do that to them. I love them too much" Amu whispered. "Mrs. Kigurou if he comes around here again please tells him I'm sorry but it's for the best. And ask him not to look for Me." she got her feet and picked up her things.
"Could you give me a ride to the airport?" she asked as she picked up the twins. Mrs. Kigurou smiled and nodded. "Sure Hun it would be my pleasure." She said before helping Amu carry everything to the car. Amu returned to the living room after putting everything and the twins in the car. She knelt down next to the couch and nudged the sleeping Hikaru. He sat up rubbing his eyes.
"Yes Amu-Chan what is it?" he asked sleepily. Amu smiled sadly. "It's time to go Hikaru. Are you sure your ok with coming with us?" she asked him as she lead him to the car. He nodded, still half asleep. "I swore I would stay with you plus you're my family now so I'm coming too. Where are we going anyway?" he asked laying his head against Akira's car seat. Amu buckled him in then placed a blanket over him. "Sorry Hikaru I can't tell you till we are on the plane" she said before she closed the door. Hikaru fell asleep shortly after the car started.
[A few days later Ikuto's pov]
I paced my 50th floor office wondering where amu could have gone. Her name wasn't in the Airports system at all. Neither was Hikaru's and since the twins were under two they wouldn't be in the system. I cursed and kicked a table causing it to flip over and break the few objects that had been sitting on it. That stupid woman had told me that Amu was sorry she left. That she didn't want me to look for her. How could she be so stupid? I will search for her. I will find her, and I will never let her leave me again. I don't care how long it takes we will be together again.
"I swear Amu I will find you" I whispered clutching the lock in my hand. I stared out the window hoping for some sort of clue. Suddenly my cell phone rang. I pulled it out and checked the caller i.d. private caller huh. I opened the phone and put it to my ear not saying anything.
"Ikuto if your there it's Amu. You don't have to say anything. I just wanted you to know I love you. And I know you love me. I understand that you didn't tell me because you didn't want to hurt me. But I left to protect the kids. I know it was selfish of me to leave without telling you and I'm sorry for that. But unless you quit Easter or get rid of all your enemies without violence then this is the last time you'll hear from me. I really love you Ikuto." She said into the phone. I could tell she was crying.
"Amu I love you too" I whispered. She became quiet and I could hear one of the twins laughing in the back ground. "I'll always love you Amu. And I will come find you one day." She started crying again and I sank down into my chair just listening to her. Wishing I could hold, wishing I could comfort her. "I'll leave you alone Amu as long as you promise me you'll be happy. As long as you're strong and never become the way you were before. And never forget me amu. promise." I said my voice cracking. Damn I always get so emotional when it came to her. "I promise Ikuto, I swear I'll never forget you." She said before she hung up. I let my body go limp the phone falling to the ground. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I pressed the call button on the intercom.
"Yes Mr. Tsukiyomi?" a female voice asked. I glanced at a mirror and sighed. There is no way I can go on today like I normally do.
"Cancel every appointment for the rest of the week and send Fujisaki, Mashiro, Yoru, Utau, Souma and Sanjou" I said before disconnecting it. I leaned back in my chair then got up. I stood with my back to the door and stared out. Knowing they would be arriving soon.
I was right. Not even five minutes later they all walked in wearing every day clothes. Utau and Souma both had wet hair. Normally I would have made some kind of comment on how suspicious it was that they both showed up at the same time with wet hair every day. But today I didn't. And they seemed to notice it. I didn't say anything just stood there staring out at the city, wondering if maybe Amu hadn't even left it. Maybe she was hiding somewhere or someone was hiding her. I turned around to face them making sure my face didn't show my current mood.
"Sanjou figure out where the last call on my phone came from. Fujisaki, Mashiro search all the places in town she might be. Check everywhere don't skip anything talk to all her friends. Yoru check all the airport records for her. Souma I want you asking the employ's if they saw anyone matching her description. Utau go with him." I said. Then I looked out the window again as they went off to do what I told them to do. They didn't have to ask who I was talking about. The tone of my voice was enough.
[A few hours later normal pov]
Every one sat in the chairs of Ikuto's office. He impatiently tapped his fingers on the desk waiting for them to talk.
"According to the airport employee's a pink haired woman with three kids got on a plane to Hong Kong" Utau said. Souma nodded.
"According to record she took a plan to Hong Kong then another plane to Amsterdam. After that I lost her. Nyaa~" Yoru said looking down.
"The last call on your phone bounced of cell towers in Beijing, New York, Harrow, Los Angeles, and Honolulu." Kairi said as he pushed his glasses up. Ikuto sighed and then stood up, knocking his chair back.
"I'm going to search for her everywhere" he said before storming out. The others all looked at each other a bit worried about him.
"Think we'll find her?" Yoru asked looking at the group.
"He will. No matter where in the world she is he'll find her" Nagihiko said grimly. Rima slipped her hand into his nodding in agreement.
"It's Hinamori-sans choice to leave him he should just except that" kairi said adjusting his glasses again. Every one shot glares at him. If looks could kill, he'd be dead.
"Don't let Tsukiyomi hear you call her Hinamori. I think we should call him," kukai said suddenly. Everyone looked at him.
"Are you crazy Kukai if we get him involved Ikuto will kill us" Utau said before she pinched his arm.
"I'm sure one day he will come back and he'll have Amu-Chan with him" rima said returning to the quiet girl she had been before meeting Amu. Nagihiko wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Mashiro-san is right there's no way that guy would give up on Amu. I think this is the last time we will ever come to Easter. It'll be faster to find Amu-Chan if we all search. Then we can go back to how things were before the others decided to leave." Nagihiko said. All of them remembered the horrible things their relatives had done to Amu.
"Let's search for her" Utau said. She then turned and walked out of the door. Acting like she owned the place, which she pretty much did.
[Amu and Ikuto pov]
