I would have updated yesterday if FanFiction wasn't being a retard xP. Anyways, I'm editing my stories a bit if you've noticed and once I finish hitting myself over how many mistakes I made and finish fixing them all I'll probably update faster. EXTRA EXTRA THANKS TO SOCCERGIRL56! Thank you so much for helping me with and I'm sorry you had to wait so long x.x

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Shugo Chara.

"….Fujisaki-san….do you remember?" Amu asked cautiously. But before he could answer, the man was out cold again. Amu bit her lip and glanced at Utau, who looked just as worried as she did.

"Utau, what was that?" Amu asked quietly.

Utau shook her head. "I don't know, he could be delusional, his father is far from dead. He could be quoting Rima but….he doesn't seem to remember her, or us, at all."

Amu frowned slightly. She was about to say something but was interrupted but a green head popping in the room.

"Kukai-san never changes." Kairi gasped. He looked at the girls' worried expressions and his face hardened. "Is he okay?"

Amu gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry Kairi, you did fine on the surgery, you should know. There's just something wrong with his mind…..we think." Amu's smile dropped.

Kairi frowned at this. "What's wrong?"

Utau sighed and looked at Nagihiko's resting figure. "He's psychologically healthy. No blows to the head whatsoever, that's what Ikuto told me at least." Her eyebrows furrowed. "He seems to remember everything, even the crash, except all of us." Utau said solemnly. "And he can't even remember Rima."

Kairi looked at his colleague sympathetically. "What about Rima-san?"

"She has been diagnosed with amnesia." Utau declared. "Right now, I'm not completely sure what specific type but it has to be retrograde, considering the fact that she can remember Nagi's name and Amu."

Amu bit her lip. "I don't know…maybe this is something bigger than the symptoms, bigger than us."

Kairi gave a disapproving look. He warily asked, "What do you mean, Amu-chan?"

Amu avoided her companions' gazes. "I mean…something beyond what we think is real." She breathed.

Utau jumped up from her chair making it scrape against the tile floor. She fisted her hands stared Amu down. "No Amu. It has nothing to do with that. Never even think about it."Amu continued to look down.

"Calm down Utau-san." Kairi held up a steadying hand. He sighed through clenched teeth. "She's just scared…We all are."

Utau's shoulders fell and her hands relaxed, color returning to her knuckles. "Your right, I'm sorry Amu."

Amu shook her head, still not looking up. Utau noticed that she was shaking. "No, I'm just being stupid again." And with that she quickly walked out of the room.

Utau started to chase after her when Kairi put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. Utau stopped but held up her hand, trying in vain to reach out to Amu. She inwardly cursed, and looked in the direction that her friend had run off. Utau muttered, "I made her cry, didn't I?"

Kairi gave her a sympathetic look. "No you didn't. It's…just hard for her to remember. Fujisaki-san was her best friend after all."

Utau smiled a little. "No one will know which one you're talking about if you're formal with those two, Kairi." The man blushed. Utau's smile dropped and she looked up at him. "Kairi, why do these kinds of things happen to us? Why can't we be happy?"

Kairi looked back at Nagihiko. "Be grateful, Utau-san. At least we'll always have someone to lean on."

Utau gave a hollow chuckle. "Sometimes I wonder if you should have been the therapist."

Kairi blushed again and pushed up his glasses. "I-impossible."

The heavy atmosphere was interrupted by a man on wheels. "Yo!" Kukai whispered whilst suddenly rolling into the room with moderate speed.

Utau smiled at his always upbeat personality. "You're back earlier than expected."

Kukai grinned at her and gestured at the bundle on his lap. "This one here decided to pull a Sleeping Beauty on me." It was true. Rima was curled up in a ball upon the man's lap and chest.

As Kukai laid Rima down on her hospital bed, Kairi announced his depart and left the room. Kukai looked around. "Well, since Fujisaki's asleep then I guess I have no business here." Kukai made for the door when Utau put a hand on his wheelchair.

"Kukai," Utau hesitated, "I'm about to go see patient 67. Do you want to see him?"

Kukai froze on the spot. "…No, I don't."

Utau kept a straight face. "Why not?"

"He promised that the next time I saw him he would be completely better."

Utau eyebrows furrowed. "But you haven't seen him in over five years."

Kukai's eyes blazed and his back burned from Utau's stare. "So?"

Utau's anger spiked. "So? So!? Don't be difficult Kukai, you guys were best friends!"

"I'm not being difficult!" Kukai countered.

Utau looked down and her bangs fell over her eyes. "It's because of what she said, isn't it?"

Kukai immediately swiveled around to face her. "This has nothing to do with her! She has nothing to do with why I don't want to see that guy!"

Utau was about to counter back at him and make turn it into a full blown argument when they were reminded that fact that they were in a hospital room.

"Mom…dad…" Rima whimpered in her sleep.

Both Utau and Kukai's tempers were put out in a flash. Kukai sighed and took Utau's hand. "It's not about her Utau, you should know that."

Utau wiped the tears that she hadn't known were there until now. "I'm sorry Kukai; it's just that I'm a bit stressed." She forced a smile.

Kukai traced circles in the back of her hand. "It'll be okay."

Utau sniffed. "So, will you come?"

Kukai stiffened, then relaxed again. "No, sorry. I just can't see him, and I can't let him see me like this." He gestured at his wheelchair.

Utau nodded in slow understanding. "Okay."

They exited the room and separated into the different wards. As Utau walked down the hall, the memories of unfortunate times flashed through Utau's mind. The time when Mr. Mashiro's accident happened. The time when she was the one that got taken away while they just watched. The time when everything changed for all of them. When Utau had snapped out of her reverie, she had arrived at her destination. She examined the door of the room like she did every time and clenched up her fists again. There was a window with wire netting melted into the glass, the same as every single other window in the psychiatric ward. Sealed on the door was the patient number (67) and his name was in the slot underneath it.

She breathed out and opened the door. The tired face of a once handsome young man looked up at her and attempted to smile. There were bags under his eyes from lack of sleep again. Utau was going to have to ask them to give him a greater amount of sleeping doses, no matter how much she didn't want to.

She sat down on the chair across from him and gave him a fake smile (she couldn't give him a real one with the way she was feeling now). "How are you doing, Tadase?"

Amu ran all the way down the hall until she reached Ikuto's office. She stopped at his doorway, huffing.

Ikuto looked up from the patient files and stood. "Did you want to see me that badly Amu-k-"

But he was cut off when Amu suddenly ran up to him and hugged him, crying into his chest.

All the playfulness left Ikuto's features as he wrapped his arms around her. "Shhh, what's wrong?"

"I miss her. I miss them." Amu managed to say between the hiccups.

Ikuto's expression turned somber. What had made her remember such things? He caressed her hair and whispered softly into her ear. "It's ok Amu. This time, we can do something about it.

"Kairi! Treat me to dinner!" A young woman jumped on his back just as he was packing up for the day.

"Okay Yaya." Kairi replied with an exasperated smiled. He was happy, Yaya never changed.

"…What's wrong, Kairi."

But damn, did she know him. "Nothing Yaya."

She cut in front of him so that he couldn't keep walking, all smiles gone. "Did something happen to Rima-tan and Nagi?" She asked worriedly.

Kairi quickly shook his head. "No it's not that, certain things just came up when I was talking with Amu-chan and Utau-san."

Yaya looked down. "…Oh."

"But Rima seems to be doing better." Kairi added, hoping that that would make her feel a bit happier.

"That's good." Yaya beamed.

Kairi looked at her smiled, and wondered how she could always manage to be so optimistic. He was almost jealous. Kairi sighed, frustrated with himself. "I tried my best to fix them, but they're still broken. Now there's nothing I can do. I'm completely useless, just like last time." Kairi murmured, running a hand through his hair.

Yaya pouted in disapproval. "You're wrong Kairi. There is something you can do, that we all can do, believe."

Kairi's eyes widened at her words. It was true, they could believe, but he almost had to laugh at the irony. Believing was the reason Tadase was in the psychiatric ward. Believing was the reason she was gone. Believing was the reason they were born. Maybe that was the reason why Yaya was always so happy, because she's so forgiving. Maybe that's why she can say that without the flood of memories drowning her happiness.

After all, ignorance is bliss.

Glub glub. Glub glub.
