Hey Guys

Next chapter is out a bit earlier than usual (school hols WOOT!) I hope you like it :D


Tadase sighed as he walked into his cold and lonely house. After checking on his grandmother and turning the television on in the main room for some background noise, he walked into his bedroom at the back of the house.

"Tadase? Is everything Alright?" Kiseki asked as Tadase dropped his one shopping bag onto his bedroom floor and threw himself down on his bed. The young prince sighed again and nodded against his mattress.

"I'm just a bit tired is all," He said, yawning afterwards.

"Its Understandable...You've had a rough couple of days. Maybe you should get changed and go to sleep?" Kiseki suggested. Tadase gave a slight nod and rolled onto his side. Another Sigh escaped him as he wrenched himself from his bed and took off his jacket.

A thought suddenly struck the young prince. Would Amu be all right without him? The way she was sleeping last night, he wasn't so sure. Tadase frowned as he pulled out some fresh Pyjama's out of his drawers.

"Ok, something is wrong," Kiseki observed, noticing his owner's expression. Tadase turned to him with the same expression written onto his features. Kiseki sighed and flew a bit closer.

"I...I'm just thinking about Amu..." Tadase said and turned back to the drawers. Kiseki rolled his eyes and threw his cape over his shoulder.

"Well that's definitely not a good sign," The small king said and folded his arms against his chest.

"How so?" Tadase asked without looking up.

"Well normally when a king thinks of his queen, a smile is brought to his face. You on the other hand, are frowning," Kiseki said, and watched as Tadase smiled at his words.

"I guess your right Kiseki...I guess your right..." Tadase whispered as he walked out of his room, down the hallway and into the bathroom, locking the door.

"Now, what is on your mind?" Kiseki said on the other side of the door.

"I...I'm just..." Tadase said, with a small sigh.

"Worried?" Kiseki asked, leaning against the top of the door, mid air-flight.

"Mm...I just hope she'll be ok, because last night-"

"I know, I heard, the commoner Miki was dreaming as well,"

"S-She was? Oh and don't call her that,"

"Yes she was, and... And..." Kiseki trailed off.

"What did you do? Did you comfort her?" Tadase asked, with a cry, as he had accidentally hit his elbow on the door.

"Idiot...Of course I did! I did what any self-respecting and compassionate King would do." Kiseki said and could almost sense Tadase's smile through the solid bathroom door.

"T-That doesn't mean I like her!" The small king suddenly cried.

Tadase opened the door and caught Kiseki as he fell backwards in surprise.

"I can tell, you do like her somewhat," The blonde said grinning. Kiseki flew out of his hand and straightened himself up.

"I-I Do not! T-The King does not fall in love with commoners!" He shouted

"And Since when is anyone apart from you and myself NOT a commoner?" Tadase said and walked back to his bedroom.

"Since...I...Wh...Oh dammit..." Kiseki said, trying to find an answer. Tadase gave a gentle laugh as he slid his bedroom door open.

"I know you like her, so could you do me a favour? Just for Tonight?" Tadase asked him as he put his shopping clothes in a dirty clothesbasket in the corner of the room.

"Like What?" Kiseki asked, wary of Tadase's sudden request of a 'favour'.

"Go and spend the night there, just so Amu, Ran, Suu and Miki are ok," Tadase said as he sat down on his bed.

"And what good will that do?" Kiseki exclaimed, beginning to see red at the things his owner was suggesting.

"Its just incase...something happens...You can always come back and get me...if need be..." The young boy said and looked up at his small guardian character.

"Hmm...I can see your logic, but...hmm..." Kiseki said, pondering the options.

"What?"

"Would Hinamori really want you to make me do this?"

"You could say you were going over to check up on Miki, Which you probably would anyway," Tadase said with a grin.

Kiseki went to say something but faltered, making Tadase chuckle. A sigh escaped the small king's lips and he folded his arms across his chest again.

"I...I guess your right...If Lady Amu and her chara's are in trouble we must look after them..." Kiseki said, in a huffed and supposedly dignified voice.

"Did you just say-"

"Oh shut up, I'm leaving, I'll be back if you are needed," Kiseki said finally and flew out of the room, headed to the Hinamori's house. Tadase grinned, turned the light off, and slipped into bed.

"Thanks Kiseki," He said before he fell asleep.

Later that Night...

- - -

"Tadase... Tadase…TADASE!" Kiseki screamed in his owner's ear

"Huh? W-What?" The young blonde cried as his slumber was broken. He sat upright and rubbed his eyes.

"Tadase! Tskuiyomi Ikuto is in the park again!" Kiseki roared at his still half-asleep owner.

Tadase wiped his eyes and allowed them to focus as Kiseki's words sunk in.

"Tadase! Tskuiyomi Ikuto is in the park again!" Echoed in Tadase's fuddled mind.

"W-What? Oh...c-crap..." Tadase whispered, "What do we do?"

"I think...I think we need to confront him," Kiseki replied, and Tadase looked up at his chara.

"Confront him? Hmm...I Hate to say it...but you're right...come on, let's go" Tadase said and swung his legs out of his bed.

After donning a jacket and a pair of boots, the young prince ran out of the house and down to the local park.

The blonde ran into the centre of the park and stood near the small gazebo where he had spent many good times with the Guardians . . . and Ikuto. . .in the past. . .

"Kiseki, Character-transform," Tadase whispered, observing the supposedly vacant area. Kiseki quickly transformed with his owner and both stood there as Platinum Royale, before the boy was suddenly knocked off his feet.

Tadase cried out as he hit the cement hard, his clothes ripping against the rough surface, his skin grazed and scratched too. He looked up and gasped when he saw-

"Tsukiyomi Ikuto!" Tadase cried. The possessed teen held his scythe above Tadase's head, ready to kill him at any moment. Tadase could not move for fear had taken him completely.

"Tadase! Move!" A voice screamed to the boy. Tadase looked to the bushes behind Ikuto and saw Yoru hiding in the.

"Y-Yoru!" Tadase stated, still not moving from his position. It was as if his body was locked into place, and would not move without the key. But, what was the key?

"MOVE!" Kiseki screamed from inside Tadase and made his owner's body roll to the side as Death rebel's scythe swung down to the ground. Tadase let out a cry as his already cut and bleeding limbs got even more grit and dirt rubbed into them.

"O-Onii-s-san! S-Stop this!" Tadase managed to choke out as he looked into the dull eyes of his foe. The mute teen stopped momentarily at the mention of the word brother, before leaping at Tadase once more.

"TADASE! IKUTO!" Yoru screamed from the bushes, watching the scene unfold before his eyes.

"Yoru! Go Get Hinamori! Quickly!" Kiseki yelled, after being spontaneously expelled from Tadase's chest. Yoru nodded and left without another glance, flying as fast as he could to the pink-haired heroine's house. Tadase looked at Kiseki quickly in fear before Ikuto took Tadase's un-done character transformation as an advantage and attacked the blonde-haired prince.

Amu was asleep and dreaming of her and Tadase, tossing and turning as the movie-like fairytale played on in her head.

Amu's sightline was flying above the park as she watched another version of herself walking with a certain blonde. Tadase said something, and the below Amu threw back her head and laughed. The prince smiled at his girlfriend's reaction and gave out a laugh as well

Amu watched with a wry smile on her face as her below counterpart and Tadase walked through the park, holding hands, talking and laughing. Then Tadase suddenly stopped, and dropped Amu's hand. Amu inevitably turned back and asked him what was wrong, before Tadase's body gave a shudder and he collapsed.

"Something's wrong," The flying Amu's thoughts yelled, echoing in her head as she watched the frantic Amu below crouch down next to Tadase and try to wake him.

"Amu? . . . Amu! . . . AMU WAKE UP!" A familiar voice screamed. The scene of a fallen Tadase and a worried Amu faded away into black quickly, as the real Amu opened her eyes, awaking from her slumber.

"Huh? What-?" She said sleepily as she sat up. Amu quickly ran a hand through her hair and over her eyes as Yoru explained.

"Amu! You gotta do something! Ikuto and Tadase are fighting in the park!" Yoru yelled in the pinkette's ear. Ran, Miki and Suu all rushed out of the egg at hearing raised voices.

"What's going on?" Ran asked sleepily

"What's Yoru doing back here again?" Miki huffed

"Is something wrong~desu?" Suu asked

"Ikuto's fighting Tadase in the park! Amu! You gotta stop Ikuto!" Yoru yelled, tears leaking from his eyes.

"Tadase?! Ikuto?!" Amu exclaimed and jumped out of bed, adrenaline pumping through her body. Ran came forward immediately and the girl and her chara transformed into the positive Amulet Heart.

"Let's go girls!" Amu said, and walked over to her balcony, wrenching open the door, and jumping off the balcony into the air, with the other three chara's behind her.

"Where are they Yoru?!" Amu called through the night to the small Cat chara. He flew up to the cheerleader and helped her navigate her way to where the two boys had been fighting.

As Amu flew above the open area, it looked still and desolate, but never the less, she landed undercover nearby.

"Yoru, where are they?" Amu whispered, as the three charas gathered near her, looking over some bushes in front of Amu. Everyone's ear picked up as a cry and a scream echoed through the dark night.

"Was that Tadase?!" Amu whispered frantically to the charas. Miki nodded and began to fly off.

"Come on Amu-Chan! They are around here! I can sense Kiseki!" Miki screamed and kept going. Suu and Yoru followed her, urging Amu to hurry up. Miki flew at the front of the group with Suu and Yoru close behind her, and Amu hot on their heels.

The next sight that Miki saw made her stop abruptly, Yoru running into her and Suu into him.

"What's wrong~desu?" Suu asked quietly as Amu ran up behind them. Her golden eyes widened as the scene before her registered in her mind.

Tadase was lying on the ground, and by the looks of it, nearly unconscious. Ikuto was standing over the prince, his scythe at the blonde's throat, and his foot pressed down on Tadase's chest, limiting the boy's air supply. Kiseki had been somehow forced back into his egg and was being held by Ikuto's free hand, unable to help his owner.

Tadase's head lolled to the side, and he let out a quiet gasp as the skin of his neck quickly nicked the sharp blade. His red eyes weakly looked out over the area, and widened when he saw Amu - His Beautiful Amu - hiding behind a tree, observing the scene in front of her with her hands held up to her mouth in shock.

"N-No…S-She can't b-be here…S-She'll g-get hurt!" Tadase's inner voice screamed. He opened his mouth to say something, but could not talk at all. His weak eyes turned back to Ikuto, who just looked down on his blankly.

The next few seconds were a blur - Or one could say "unknown" - to everyone in the area.

"Ah!" A quick, shattering cry fled into the night

"TADASE!" Four untied voices screamed,

"IKUTO!" A small voice yelled at his owner

And crimson blood glittered on the cement in the moonlight.

Live every moment like its your last. You never know when Life may end...
