Find your way home

"Ikuto it's me Amu come on you have to remember me!" I said placing my hand on his cheek. He shook his head.

"No I don't know you. I need to leave here. Probably not safe for me right now." He said sitting up painfully.

"Ikuto you shouldn't move to much you were hit by a car!" I said placing my hand carefully on his chest and making him lay back down.

"You don't understand. I have my own doctor to take care of me so I don't need to be here" he said trying to sit up once again.

"Idiot! You quit Easter. We're in France for crying out loud. You're my husband. We have two kids, Akiko and Akira. You just moved back in with us. Please Ikuto remember" I cried hugging him. He just sat there unmoving.

"Why would I quit Easter?" he said as though the idea was ridiculous. I stared at him.

"Because you love me, Ikuto you said so yourself. You said we would be together forever. You promised you would always love me Ikuto!" I yelled. He held his head and laid back.

"Please leave me alone for now. My head hurts" he said dismissing me. I stared at him unable to believe that after everything we had been through he could just go and forget me.

"I love you Ikuto" I said before standing up and walking out of the room. I stopped at the door hoping that by some chance he would ask me to stay.

"Hey girl" my eyes widened and I turned around to see him looking at me.

"Y…yeah what is it Ikuto?" I asked trying to keep my voice from showing my excitement.

"If you can, send Yoru in" he said before closing his eyes again. My eyes filled with tears and I backed towards the door.

"Yeah I'll go get Yoru" I said walking out of the room. When I walked out into the waiting room Yoru and Hikaru stood up and walked over to me. I looked down letting my bangs hide my face.

"Hey Amu you okay? Has Ikuto waked up yet?" Yoru asked placing his hand on my shoulder. I nodded

"He wants to talk to you Yoru" I said quietly. I walked over the chairs and sat down holding my head in my hands.

"Amu are you okay?" Hikaru asked sitting next to me.

"Y…yeah I'm fine I'm just tired, And relived" I said faking a smile. He looked at me concerned, but decided that I didn't feel like talking.

[Yoru's pov]

I walked into Ikuto's room to see what he wanted. When I saw him I was surprised. His eyes seemed as empty as they had before he met Amu-Chan, and the look on his face was cold and unemotional. When he noticed me he looked at me coldly as though I was annoying him.

"Amu-Chan said you wanted to see me nyaa~" I said leaning against the door. The look on his face scared me. 'if only I had some yarn or sardines'

"What exactly is going on Yoru? And who is that Amu girl? One of my targets?" he asked getting out of bed and walking over to the window. I stared at him my jaw dropped.

"Ikuto one of your targets! Is this some kind of joke? You remember Amu right, she's your wife. You have to kids with her. If this is one of your jokes, it's not funny, it's sick, Amu thinks you really forgot her so you better get your ass out there and tell Amu your sorry" I yelled grabbing the front of his shirt and shaking him a bit. He stared at me shocked that I would dare stand up to him.

"Let me go now Yoru" he ordered, His emotionless eyes seeming to be staring into my soul.

"No A lot has changed Ikuto you no longer hold control over me Nyaa~" I said as I pushed him against the wall. He grunted in pain as his injured shoulder hit the wall. Ikuto stood up slowly, not taking his eyes off me.

"What's gotten into you lately Yoru? You're not acting like yourself today." He said sitting on the edge of the bed and pulling off his shirt. I glared at him and resisted the urge to punch him. 'I never stopped liking her. I gave her up for him. If he thinks I'm just going to sit around and let him hurt her' I glared up at him and crossed my arms.

"I won't let you hurt Amu any more Ikuto. When you went after her I let you. I stupidly let you have her. I won't make that mistake again. You better hurry up and remember her Ikuto. Or you're going to lose her." I said before storming out of the room. I could feel Ikuto's eyes on my back, trying to figure out what he was missing. Trying to figure out why I was reacting so strongly.

"Amu-Chan let me take you home. You must be exhausted. Nyaa~" I said walking out into the waiting room. Hikaru put his finger to his lips and shushed me. Amu was asleep with her head on Hikaru's shoulder. Even in her sleep she looked worried.

"Hikaru, I'll take Amu home. Go talk to Ikuto try and make him remember. I'll bring Amu back when she wakes up" I said lifting her up off the uncomfortable hospital chair. 'Nyaa~ normally Ikuto would kill me if he ever saw me holding Amu like a princess'. Her head fell against my shoulder, her soft pink hair tickling my neck. My face felt hot and I knew I was blushing. Hikaru gave me a look before he walked back into Ikuto's room. I carried Amu out to my car and carefully sat her in the passenger's seat. She muttered something in her sleep then shifter a bit and fell deeper asleep. I just sighed and sat in the driver's seat.

"Damn he's gonna kill me when he gets his memory back" I said hitting the dash board. I took a deep breath then turned the car on and took Amu home. When we got there I lifted her out of the car and carried her into the house quietly. Hoping the twins was asleep.

[Ikuto's pov]

'What's going on? Why did I feel like punching Yoru when he said he was going to steal that girl? Am I really forgetting something? No if something like that happened I would never forget someone I was "in love with". But maybe I should really look into it'. Suddenly the door opened and Hikaru walked into the room.

"Ok with you looking like that I know I'm missing a few years" I said taking in his no longer childish face, And his shoulder length hair. He smirked at me and leaned against the wall.

"Yoru is taking Amu home. She was asleep so he carried her like a princess. His face was kinda red. I think he still likes her." He said nonchalantly. I didn't really care but for some reason I felt my anger rising.

"Yeah why do I care" I said hiding behind my uncaring mask. He acted as though he fell for it but his eyes told me he knew better.

"You know if you don't remember everything soon Ikuto you might lose her for good this time" he pointed out to me. My chest felt heavy but I didn't care.

"Listen if you're taking a different approach to try and make me remember. It's not going to work. Now leave me alone I'm tired and Yoru reopened one of my cuts so send a nurse in" I said dismissing him. Hikaru stood up, gave me a strange look, and then stormed out of the room. I sighed and laid back.

"Hadn't I promised myself I would never fall in love?" I asked myself as I stared up at the ceiling. There was no way I could be in love. I wouldn't have allowed it. Women are just toys for me to entertain myself with. I closed my eyes letting my mind relax. Vague images appeared in my mind; Pink hair, the smell of strawberry shampoo, Children laughing, Children, my children? Do I have kids? Everything was so confusing what was I missing.

Tomorrow I would be let out of this hospital. Then I could figure out what I was forgetting. I would head back to Japan, head to Easter… no wait didn't someone say I wasn't leader of Easter anymore. Why would I quit Easter.

Suddenly my phone started to ring. I rolled over and answered the phone not thinking to check the caller I.D.

"Hey Ikuto?" said a female voice. It sounded familiar, and sad whoever it was she was sad.

"Who is this?" I asked rolling back onto my back.

"Ah it's me Amu. I…. I just woke up and I wanted to make sure you were ok. I hope that you get let out of the hospital soon. I miss you" she was talking quietly as though she didn't want to wake anyone up.

"So why are you calling me?" I asked annoyed. She seemed really sad. I had the strangest urge to go to her and hold her. I ignored that urge.

"Listen I know there was something between us but it probably didn't really mean anything to me so just forget about me and go on with your life. You bothering me all the time is really annoying me." I said. I could tell she was crying now. Because of the way I grew up I was able to ignore the feelings welling up inside of me.

"I'll leave you alone on one condition" she said quietly. I tilted my head a bit, curious.

"And that is?" I asked impatiently.

"If you want me to leave you alone, tell me you don't love me" she said. 'Simple enough' I thought.

"I don't…l…" I frowned in frustration. It was so simple. Just four words, why, why couldn't I tell this girl I couldn't even remember that I had no feelings for her.

"You can't say it can you" she said as though she had already known this.

"I just don't feel like being heartless" I said trying to hide my weakness.

"Sorry to bother you I just wanted to hear your voice. I'll talk to you later. I love you Ikuto" she said.

"I lo…" I almost responded with "I love you" but caught myself at the last minute. She was laughing. It was a sweet laugh that made me smile. I shook my head and hung up the phone. Funny how that one girl could mess with my emotions. Maybe just maybe I had loved her. It would explain why I was acting this way.

I got up and pulled my clothes out of the closet. Hikaru had brought me some of my clothes so that I could leave when I wanted to. I pulled on a black button up shirt and a pair of tight black pants. I tucked the shirt in and left the top few buttons undone letting some of my chest show. My bangs fell over my eyes. After removing the bandages from my head there was no way for anyone to tell I've been in the hospital. I walked out casually as though I had just been visiting someone. A few nurses blushed when I winked at them. Outside I could see a blue sports car parked in the spot Yoru said it would be in. in the window was a note that said 'best I could get'. I smirked and got in.

[Akiko and Akira's pov]

[Akiko] Akira and I lay in bed listening to mom in the kitchen. It sounded like she was being kind of clumsy. She dropped a lot of stuff. I could hear uncle Yoru telling her to sit down and let him make breakfast. But she refused. Since uncle Yoru brought her home she had been acting weird.

"You're awake Akiko?" Nii-san asked sitting up. His pink hair was all messy. I nodded and sat up rubbing the ickies from my eyes.

"Your hairs all messy like dat one kid in daycare who smells funny" I said pointing at him. He pouted and grabbed my brush.

"That one's mine Akira, give it back" I yelled jumping onto him. He tried to get away.

"No I just want to use it!" he yelled back trying to pin me down. I got a hold of the brush and tried to pull it away.

"Give it to me!" I yelled.
"No I'm using it."

[Akira]

"Let me use your brush or I'm telling mom!" I yelled pulling harder.

"No use your own stupid!" she said sticking out her tongue.

"I'm not stupid you are" I let go of the brush and she hit herself in the face. She started to cry like a baby.

"I'm telling mom!" she yelled running out of the room. I went after her.

"Mom Akira hi…." She stopped yelling when she got to the bottom of the stair. I almost bumped into her. If that had happened we would a got hurt. I went to yell at her. But then I saw what she saw.

Mommy was sitting on a chair crying and uncle Yoru was hugging her.

"Is uncle Yoru gonna take daddy's place" Akiko asked in a quiet voice.

"No she's just upset because your daddy is hurt. Uncle Yoru is just trying to cheer her up" Hikaru said sitting down next to us. As usual Akiko moved behind him and started messing with his hair.

"Hikaru I wanna go see daddy" I said still watching mom cry.

"Um I… right now isn't the best time uh maybe…" he started to say. I stormed upstairs and closed the bedroom door. After pulling on my winter clothes I opened the window and climbed to the ground using the large oak tree.

[Normal pov]

Ikuto sat on a bench in the park. Despite the cold and his thin clothes he was perfectly fine. Nearby a group of girls had gathered and where staring at him and giggling. Ikuto winked at them and then closed his eyes. The girls squealed and started talking even more. Finally one of them got the courage to talk to him. She walked over nervously.

"Ah um excuse me sir?" she said in shaky English. Apparently she could tell he was a foreigner. He smirked at her.

"No need to worry I speak French" he said using his usual smirk. The girl blushed.

"Ah well me and my friends were wondering if you would like to hang out with us today"

"Ah Nii-san I found daddy" a small voice called from nearby. Ikuto and the girl both looked over to see a small boy with pink hair and a girl with blue hair running towards them. Behind the children an older boy with blonde hair chased them.

"Ah Ikuto sorry I tried to take them home but their quick!" Hikaru yelled as he tried to catch the twins. Akiko ran over and jumped onto Ikuto's lap. It was easy for anyone to see that they looked exactly alike. Akira caught up to his sister and jumped up next to her.

"Ah Hikaru why?" Ikuto said looking at Hikaru confused.

"Daddy!" both twins yelled hugging him. The girl looked at all of them extremely confused.

"Hikaru why are they here they don't even have proper clothing on" Ikuto said pulling a sweater out of his bag and wrapping it around the twins. He froze, not knowing why he was acting so concerned about these two children. Was what that girl said true, could these two be his kids? Is that why he was so concerned about them?

"Ah Ikuto-san are you alright?" Hikaru asked running his hand in front of Ikuto's face. When Ikuto didn't respond the twins reached up and each pat one of his cheeks till he moved.

"Ah yeah I'm alright." He said looking down at the twins.

"You shouldn't have left the hospital before they said you could Ikuto-san. Amu-Chan will be so worried if she finds out you ran away."

"Hospital is something wrong with him?" the girl asked looking at Hikaru.

"Hehe I was in a car accident and my brain got damaged. I've apparently forgotten some rather important things" Ikuto said standing up and holding the twins one in each arm.

"Come on Hikaru I guess I'll take these two back to their mom." Ikuto said walking towards his car. Hikaru blinked in surprise then ran after him. The girl stood there looking very confused.

"Ikuto do you remember Amu now?" Hikaru asked as he got into Ikuto's car.

"No I don't remember anything but I can't help but feel a connection to those kids. And last night when that girl called I almost told her I love her. So there must be something right. I figure maybe if I go there I can remember something" he said and began driving off in the direction that Hikaru indicated.

[With Amu]

"Amu please, do not cry anymore," Yoru begged holding me gently against his chest. I wished I could stop crying but it seemed to be impossible.

"Sorry Yoru I just hope he remembers me soon" I whispered so the twins didn't hear. He let go of me and moved so his face was inches from mine.

"Amu if I had known back then that being with Ikuto would hurt you so much I never would have let him have you. The two of us could be together. Since he forgot about you why don't you forget about him." he said placing his hands on my cheeks. I thought about it. With Yoru I wouldn't have to worry about so many things, I could trust him to be there for me and for the twins. Maybe I could be happy.

"Please don't hate me for this, Amu" he said before kissing me. it was then that I knew that I could never forget Ikuto. Having Yoru's lips against mine I didn't feel the same as when I was with Ikuto. Being held in Yoru's arms didn't make me as comfortable as when I was in Ikuto's. When Yoru whispered into my ear I was nowhere near as excited as when Ikuto whispered to me. No matter what happened Ikuto was the one I loved.

Suddenly the door opened and I could hear the twin's voices. I don't know why but I didn't push Yoru away. Even when I heard Hikaru's surprised gasp I didn't push him away. Even if I truly love Ikuto maybe it was best if I just let him go on with his life.

"Amu?" I pushed Yoru away and stood up at the sound of his voice. Ikuto was standing in the doorway holding the twins in his arms. He was staring at me, a distressed look on his face. He looked like he had been betrayed. Yoru stepped in front of me.

"I can't take it anymore Ikuto. I won't let you hurt Amu. I told you that if you didn't remember her I would take her from you and that's what I'm going to do. The only way you'll get me to hand her over is if you fight for her!" Yoru said glaring at Ikuto. Hikaru silently took the twins from Ikuto and carried them upstairs. Ikuto smirked.

"fine if that's what Amu wants" he said his eyes meeting mine.

oooooh drama well thats all for now folks please R&R
