Disclaimer: I don't own Shugo Chara or any of the characters besides the ones I made: Ryuu, Takeru, Tomoya, Hikari, and Nao.

Note to the Readers: I intended to update this story a little bit after spring break; I am late. Please forgive me. I will try and update as soon as I can.

Ikuto is telling the kids today, and I can already tell that they're not only upset; they're also MAD! It's very odd because the one thing that I know is that he's not the type to leave when people are upset.

"Daddy, if you leave I'll never forgive you!" Hikari yells; screeching very loudly. "I'm sorry pumpkin pie, there are just some things adults have to do. I know you may not understand, but one day you will. One day, you'll have to take chances like the ones that I'm making now. I'll call you everyday; webcam, everything. So you'll probably see me three times a day or even more." He says with a frown.

Hikari and Nao both pout and cross their arms across their chests. Ryuu comes up and says "now now guys, you know your dad is a hard worker and has to do a lot of things. Just let him go do what we adults have to do." I feel myself tear up.

"I-Ikuto." I say while hiccuping from the tears spilling down my face. He averts his eyes with a remorseful look of concern then comes over to me and embraces me inside of his arms. "I-I don't w-want you to leave! I love you." I say while still having hiccups in-between my words. "I love you too, but I have to do this; there are some things that we have to do, and these are one of those things." He whispers while comforting me while I sob in his arms.

"Oh, that reminds me. I told the band about the situation. They changed their minds and decided to only have me leave for two months. They thankfully enough, understand my situation." This calms the both of us down. "So you really think you'll be okay? How many more days are there?" I ask while continuing to sniffle. "Just two." The conversation gets quiet not long after.

Two Days Later:

We had to get up early at about six AM to get Ikuto to the airport. Of course, we have to say our goodbyes. Even Ryuu came with us. I put a wry smile on my face as he looks at me with a look of concern on his face. He gently glides his hand across my face lovingly, and then brings me into his embrace. He kisses me, and promises me that he'll call us; webcam chat with us, a lot like three times a day or more. I remain in his arms after what seemed like a few minutes; he then walks to Ryuu. They do a fancy handshake that I suppose guys would find 'cool'.

I found it pretty spiffy. Then he gives Ikuto a quick hug trying not to show too much *bromance* (a term from nigahiga's video bromance on YouTube: check it out by the way I don't own Nigahiga's channel or anything).

Then he kneels down to where Hikari and Nao are standing frowning; not wanting him to leave. It brings tears to my eyes to see them this sad that he'll be leaving, but I suppose he'll be back in a few months. But what if something extremely bad happens while he's gone? At least I'm not completely alone; I have Ryuu too.

I'm still unsure whether things will be the same though. I better not worry too much, or it'll show. He kisses both of them on the forehead and holds them in his arms; groups hug, for quite a while. The announcement for the passengers for the plane to board sounds, and Ikuto says his final farewells until he returns. I wave, trying not to show too much sad emotions, I don't want him to feel remorseful.

Ikuto's POV:

As I'm boarding the plane, I have my sunglasses for my disguise, and a rather strange looking hat. Although, I've noticed some strange girl with long light blonde wavy hair, bright brown eyes; she's staring at me. She's very petite.

This meaning she's very short and most likely skinny. There's nothing wrong with that, but I just wanted to know why she's staring.

She sits down next to me and I stare at her with disbelief. "What, this is my seat number; it's what they assigned me." She says with a small voice. I nod my head and smile. I then whisper, "I have a secret, I'm Ikuto Tsukiyomi, what's your name?" I ask curiously. "I can tell it's you; the disguise is terrible, and it's obvious it's you, and my name is Rima Mashiro." She chuckles a bit toward the end. I notice that she's Amu's friend and then I gasp, in remembrance. "You finally remembered eh?" She laughs.

This will be an interesting flight. Seeing as before whenever she saw me, she looked at me as if I was an obnoxious bug that needed to be disposed of immediately. Figures, I really don't care what people think. "So for what reason are you going to California for?" I ask with curiosity. "Not really that much;

Old friends, being reunited with me stuff like that." She says with a blush. It must be Nagihiko. I smirk, "Nagihiko, eh?". She narrows her eyes and says "don't assume you know everything okay?" Everyone looks at her since she's really loud. "Nice move." I say with a chuckle. She glares at me then looks away with annoyance. I can tell that I provoked her enough; that's all for now.

It's not long until I finally feel my eyes becoming excruciatingly heavy; I briskly drift asleep.

Meanwhile with Amu:

I bet he's already making his way toward the United States of America. He's supposed to call me on my cell phone as soon as he arrives. I'm content with the fact that it's only going to be two months away from him.

The end of this chapter for now. Don't worry I'm going to start updating this story more often just like my other ones.
