Hello everyone it has been a while right? Well sorry about that lets get back to the story.

Runaway

Amu's POV

I am blindfolded, tied, and gagged before being thrown into a car. This can't be happening this is crazy I can't be getting kidnapped bad things happen to kids who get kidnapped right? I squirm to loosen the ropes but all it does is create rope burn marks on my wrists and pain. After half an hour of trying to get free the car stops and I hear the door open, but instead of taking me out of the car they hold me down and insert some shot into me. I struggled, but there wasn't much I could do and I soon became sleepy.

Tadase's POV

I was upset that I couldn't find Amu and Ikuto after we lost them at the roller coaster ride, but accepted that things seemed to keep getting worse for me. Even though the date I had with Amu at the movies went well I don't think she likes me like she used to and I know she hasn't noticed this yet.

"Kiseki, I think I'm going to give up on Amu I think deep down she really is starting to fall for Ikuto."

"You're just going to hand her to him? Why we still have a chance just keep her away from that cat somehow and we can win," Kiseki's face changed to total shock.

"The thing is this isn't a game it isn't about winning it's about doing the right thing and even if it hurts me I want Amu to be with the person she loves. Even if we did get together she would probably realize it sooner or later and then cause me pain. It's better this way and I'm not going to change my mind unless she comes to love me if not oh well."

The room was silent as the two stared at each other with the determination to convey their emotions. Off in the near distance the house phone rings.

"Tadase the Hinamori's want to talk to you something about Amu still hasn't come home yet!" I ran out of my room and grabbed the phone from my mom.

"Hello Tadase here. You mean she never came back from the fair! Okay I'll try to go see if I can find her. Okay bye."

I grabbed my jacket and cell phone then dash outside starting the beginning of the search.

"Kairi Amu is missing! Call the others I'm already searching!"

Amu's POV

I wake up to find myself in a dark empty alley with no clue as to where I am. I can hear a man and a woman fighting, but the words are lost by the wind. I try to stand up, but I feel woozy and have to cling to a wall to stand. I have to figure a way to get home, but something is strange about this place. There shouldn't be any wind right now the newscast promised humid weather. I stumble forward knowing that I have to get out of here it doesn't seem like a safe place. Once I found the main street I stuck to it and decided to see where it leads.

The houses looked slightly different than I'm used to seeing, but I saved that thought for later. I heard car tires screech to a halt and then gunshots and screaming from behind me. I hid behind a house and caught a glimpse of scary looking guys in a nice car drive past. After a few minutes I went back to the sidewalk and continued down the path looking for anything familiar.

I had to walk thirty blocks before I saw anything other than houses and when I did find something it was an empty playground. The dark made everything look more dangerous than in the day light and unconsciously I shivered. My outfit was not suited for this weather since I was wearing a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops.

Finally I found shops, but most of them were written in English with some other random languages. I heard people chat as they walked out of one of the stores yep, I don't want to admit it, but it makes since.

Before fully admitting it I find a Japanese restaurant thanks to the advertisement on the windows and dashed inside. Just as I was about to open my mouth a man walked up to me.

"Hello you look lost," he said in English where I could only recognize two words.

"Hello. How are you," I said feeling 100% sure I had said it with a thick accent.

"Poor English? What language do you speak," he asked with a worried look on his face. I understood the words English, language, and speak.

"Japanese. Japan," I mumbled embarrassed for my lack of better words. I wanted to say that I was supposed to be in Japan, but didn't have enough words in my vocabulary so instead just said what I could and relied on my face to convey my emotions.

He looked at me with a hidden expression I couldn't quite identify, but it was gone quickly and he said in the one language I did understand, " Good thing I know Japanese then huh."

Kukai's POV

I was bored in this hospital and restless friends of all sorts came to visit me most of them from a sport team at school, but still none of my closest friends were here to visit yet. Something had to be going on for this to happen especially whenever I call them they don't answer.

Funny thing is that the only person who did answer a call was Utau.

"Hello," she yawned.

"Yo what's up no one is answering their phones when I call," I asked.

"Hold on," she said. I heard some ruffling.

"No you stupid dork I will NOT ever wear a hideous thing like that especially not for you," she sounded farther away and I could barely make out most of the sentence.

Then I heard a sound that indicated she was picking the phone back up. "Sorry I had to discuss something for the concert. Anyway about your other friends not answering their cell phones it's strange I agree, but you sadly can't check it out since you're still healing."

"I agree I can't, but the thing is you can."

"No I can't I have to get ready for a concert and I have other business I need to attend to. I really would love to help, but I can't Kukai. I just can't," she said her voice only showing a hint of pain.

"Okay I believe you so don't worry about it. I'll just have to use my secret weapon. It's finally time," I said in a soothing energetic voice.

In the distance I could hear the sound of a voice.

"Coming," Utau shouted and then said into the phone, "I hope everything works out and I'm sorry I couldn't do anything."

"It's not your fault Utau. Well I should let you get going talk to you later."

"Bye," she said quickly and hung up.

Ikuto's POV

I ate with them. I listened to them. I pretended I was with someone else. I dreamed every night about her. I tried to forget everything going on in my life at this moment. I whispered words of longing into the wind so no one would hear.

I say something stupid. I get what I want an angry response. I get locked in a dark room. I sit in the dark room thinking of nothing. When I do think it is of her. I wonder if she will ever love me. I wonder if anything would go right in my life just one thing.

I wonder if Utau is going crazy with anger or worry. I stare at the ceiling I cannot see, but know it is there. I wait. I wait for something to change, for someone to tell me everything would be okay. I knew it wouldn't happen. I learned a long time ago that fairytales didn't exist. I also knew that if I could escape I would be happier. I knew even if my biggest dream didn't come true I could learn to live.

I knew that without her I would lose a piece of me, but she wouldn't lose a piece of her.

I know that it is up to me to get out of this situation.

I know a tear fell down my cheek and I know I'm exhausted.

I know I'm almost spent.

Yaya's POV

I looked with the rest of my best friends for Amu we even posted missing signs up. Everyone cried except me for once I couldn't cry. I hid this from everyone; I mean Yaya not crying was weird right?

Yaya wishes that Amu was never kidnapped, but even Yaya knows that whishes don't easily come true and wishes like this never do.

Nagihiko's POV

I helped Rima search for Amu, but with no success. Rima isn't happy or mad. Her face is as hard to read as a blank page because it showed nothing. Her thoughts frozen stopped by an absence. All I could do was watch, but then an idea struck and before I could wimp out I said the only thing that I could say.

"Rima, I'm glad I have you here with me. Rima I love you."

Her face softened and she hugged me tightly crying into my shoulder. I shed a few tears myself and watched silently as she choked for air before crying some more.

Amu's POV

I couldn't deny it now. All the proof was all around me. I was in America and just to confirm it even more the guy told me so.

"What happened," he asked after seeing my shock.

That was all it took for me to spill out everything that had happened. How I hated haunted houses, how I got kidnapped, how I was drugged, and how I woke up here in a strange place.

"It doesn't make sense though. Why would they just leave me here instead of doing something really bad like most kidnappers do," I asked mostly to myself, but a little to loudly.

"I don't know people are pretty messed up in the heads. I agreed to help you, but first how about we have something to eat here."

"Okay as long as it's here," I said still rather cautious.

Every mother tells their children never to go into a stranger's house no matter how kind they may seem. I know that it is best to stay in public and so I did. It just didn't work out like the way I wanted it to.

Okay so how was this chapter? Interesting or boring? Please review if you do you can have a free hug. Thanks for reading see you next time.
