Recap: She kissed him softly and felt his body relax beneith her. The twins let go of his arms and he reached up his fingers brushing gently against her cheeks.

"Amu" he muttered his eyes meeting hers. Amu smiled wiping tears from his face. She nodded and kissed him once more.

"Ikuto please tell me whats wrong" She begged pushing his hair out of his face. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forhead.

"i remember who i am" he said his eyes seemed to be seeing something that none of the others could see. Amu stared at him wondering what it was that he had remembered.

chapter nine

Ikuto leaned foreward agains the cold railing of the balcony in Amu's room. A soft breeze was blowing and caused his midnight blue bangs to brush across his forehead. His deep blue eyes were narrowed and he was deep in thought. The Family that he belonged to, the Tsukiyomi's they owned Easter. they were evil. He remembered clearly the events that caused him to be on that island. The reason that he had been on that boat in the first place. He closed his eyes and allowed the memories to come flooding back. He grit his teeth as the memories brought back the headaches. But at least they weren't as bad now.

"Papa wait where are you going!" four year old Ikuto yelled as he ran down the street after his father. He wasn't sure why but his father was leaving him and his sister and mother. He had explained to Ikuto the night before that he was to young to understand. But Ikuto hated the idea of his father leaving. After all he had always been close to his father.

The Taxi that his father had gotten into slowed to a stop allowing Ikuto to catch up to it. His father opened the door and got out. Ikuto stopped in front of him and bent over out of breath. His father smiled and knelt down ruffling the small childs blue hair.

"Ikuto i told you last night why i had to leave. you'll understand one day when your older but right now i need to escape from you mothers family. I can't give up music like they want me to do. It is in my blood, and its in your blood Ikuto. One day you will come to love the violin as much as i do" Aruto said. He had a smile on his face but his eyes were filled with sorrow. Though Ikuto didn't understand why he recognized that look.

"But Papa i do love the violin. I love listening to you play it, and so does mama and even little Utau." Ikuto insisted grabbing his fathers large hand with his two small ones. "I want you to stay and to play for us. I want you to teach me how to play so that I can make mommy and sister happy like you do." His large eyes spilled over with tears and wished that he could be stronger like his father and not cry. but even as he thought this a single tear ran down his fathers face and he pulled Ikuto into his arms hugging his son tightly.

"now now Ikuto don't cry. I need you to stay here. and I need you to be strong and be the man of the house. Your mom and little sister need you Ikuto. I need you to be brave and stay with them." He said trying to comfort the small fragile seeming boy.

"NO I don't want to be the man of the house. I don't want to have to be brave. I wanna be little i don't want to grow up. You told me i didn't have to grow up. Don't make me!" Ikuto managed to get out between his sobs. Aruto couldn't help but chuckle at the small boys spoiled personality. He stood up holding Ikuto in his arms. Ikuto clung tightly to his fathers shirt refusing to let go.

"hey buddy the meter's still running" The cab driver called over his shoulder. Aruto looked back at the cab and then he looked down the street at the house that had been his home since before Ikuto was born. He then looked down at the still crying child in his arms. With a sigh he shifted Ikuto to one arm.

"Ok Ikuto how about this. Why don't me and you go on a vacation for a while. We can take a boat to another country, Just the two of us. How about it bud?" Aruto asked. Ikuto stopped crying and looked up at his father with a small smile and a thoughtful look in his eyes. He seemed to examine his fathers face with a look to intelligent for a child of four.

"And then we'll come home to mommy and Utau?" he asked suspiciously. Aruto was surprised that Ikuto had figured out his true intentions. He thought for a moment knowing better then to meet his sons knowing gaze.

"yes and then we'll come home to your mom and Utau" Aruto lied taking one more look back at the house. He hoped that Ikuto would understand one day why they where leaving.

"alright then lets go on va... a trip" Ikuto said with a big smile. Aruto felt horrible for betraying his sons trust, but never the less he got back into the cab with Ikuto and headed towards the city.

"papa wont i need to get my clothes from the house?" Ikuto asked climbing over the back of the seat and looking out the back window. Aruto smiled and pulled ikuto back buckling him up.

"don't worry i'll buy you some new clothes and i'll even get you some toys" Aruto said putting his arm around his son.

"Ikuto what are you doing out here?" Amu asked her voice bringing Ikuto back to the present. She had opened the slider and was standing there in her orange plaid pajama's and pink slippers. In order to get to her balcony he had had to slip through her room with out waking her but apparently she had still woken up.

"sorry Amu" he said his voice rather deep. She blushed slightly and stepped out onto the balcony to stand next to him. The breeze begain to blow again and Amu Shivered. Ikuto reached over and pulled her closer keeping his arms around her shoulders. Her face turned even redder and she buried it in his shirt.

"is something wrong Ikuto?" she asked seeing the thoughtful expression on his face. He smirked and shook his head. He still wasn't used to smiling.

"no nothing. just remembering" he said pressing his cheek against her soft hair. She looked up at him a bit confused then wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned into his warmth, as he once again got lost in his memories.

Ikuto stood next to his father at the port of some unknown country. They had taken a plane there and now to throw off any who might persue them they would hitch a ride to England on a cruise ship that was captained by a man who owed Aruto a favor. Ikuto reached up and grabbed a hold of his fathers hand. He was frightened by the hustle and bustle of the busy port filled with people who spoke a languge that he didn't understand. His father smiled down at his reasurringly as a man wearing a white captains suit walked towards them with a big smile on his face.

"Aruto my dear friend it has been to long" he said in a booming voice that seemed to shake the area around him. He was rather tall and had short brown hair and a large beard. There was a scar over his left eye and he kept his right hand in his pocket.

"yes Arnald it has been quite a while. This is my son Ikuto, he will be joining me on this voyage if thats alright with you." Aruto said using his free hand to shake the captains hand. The man knelt down and held out his hand to ikuto with a jolly smile on his face and wrinkles around his eyes. Cautiously Ikuto reached out and took his hand. The man smiled and ruffled Ikuto's hair before standing back up.

"quite the grip you got there boy. your going to be a strong man like your father when you grow up aren't ya" He said with a laugh. Ikuto said nothing. He just stepped closer to his father. Both of the older men laughed and then began talking as he led the two of them towards the ship. Ikuto tripped a bit as he tried to keep up with them. Seeing his trouble the captain knelt down and picked Ikuto up Ikuto with one arm and placed him on his shoulders.

"there ya go boy now your even taller than your father" He said once again laughing. Ikuto set his earlier wariness aside and laughed despite himself. He found that he was unable to dislike the captain.

After a few days had gone by Ikuto pretty much learned his way around the ship and Aruto allowed him to roam alone as long as he checked in every now and then. He had been wandering around the ship for a while and he noticed that it had gotten dark out. He remembered that his father had told him that there was supposed to be a full moon that night and so he headed out to the deck. The wind was blowing hard and the boat rocked on rather high waves. Ikuto walked over to the railing and climbed up it a bit to see the dark pitching water below. He looked up and saw that dark storm clouds had covered the sky hiding the moon from sight.

Ikuto stood at the railing, his large saphire eyes stared up at the night sky, and the wind brushed his midnight blue bangs across his forhead as he clutched the bars and stared in wonder at the night sky.

"The band will begin playing in the dining hall in five minutes" Captain Arnold called over the loudspeaker. A group of people surged past Ikuto pushing him to far forward. He was thrown overboard into the restless black waters. No one noticed the two eggs that followed him. one was black with a white paw print and the other was half red half black.

"Ikuto!" Aruto yelled as he saw his small son fall overboard.

"Ikuto! Ikuto!" Amu yelled shaking him back to his sense's. He was laying on the floor of her balconey and she was kneeling next to him looking scared out of her mind. When his eyes finnally opened she hugged him tightly and sobbed onto his chest. He sat up and hugged her trying to calm her down. His head was pounding and he couldn't remember how he had ended up on the floor.

"Amu calm down. You don't want to wake your brothers do you." he said gently pulling her onto his lap and cradling her against his chest. She quieted down and then glared up at him her eyes still puffy from crying. She punched his arm as hard as she could and then hugged him again, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again Ikuto. You suddenly passed out and you where crying and i didn't know what to do and you wouldn't wake up!" Amu said without taking a breath. Ikuto smirked abit and hugged her close again. He stood up and carried her back into her room and laid her gently on her bed.

"Don't worry Amu ok. Nothing is wrong i'm just feeling a little dizzy is all" he said as he tucked her in and kissed her forhead. She grabbed his hand as he turned to leave and wouldn't let go.

"Ikuto can you stay in here tonight?" she asked looking up at him with her eyes wide. He smirked and sat on the edge of her bed. His saphire eyes seemed to sparkle in the moonlight that came in through the window.

"don't worry i'll protect you" He wispered as she closed her eyes and fell asleep. He leaned forward and brushed his lips gently against her. Though they seemed bright, his eyes were filled with a deep sorrow.
