-Dramatic Flashback #8-

"Amu, no matter where I am, even in France or somewhere in the world, either in Hell or in Heaven, I'll always be there to look after you and just to be there for you," said Ikuto, as he unlocked the balcony door with his copy of the key and went up to Amu and kissed her lightly on the cheek, and left, but before he left, he looked back at her with a gentle smile and said...

"Good Night...Amu, I'll see you soon."

-End of Dramatic Flashback #8-

-Amu's P.O.V.-

*step**step**step**sigh*I really hate Mondays, and especially this one, since it's after the weekend of all the craziness that happened with the Stranger and all...Damn, walking to school alone really is boring...maybe it was a bad idea to leave Ran and the others home...well, they were still sleeping, and I thought they deserved some rest after what's happened, but I'm starting to regret doing that. Well one thing is for sure, I'm definitely not..."Huh?" I said, wondering what all the commotion was all about in front of the school. I walked up some more and I couldn't believe it..."Utau!" I shouted, flabbergasted, "What are you doing here!" I asked when I got in front of the crowd. Then Utau noticed me and then...

"Huh? Oh hey Amu!" she said, waving hello to me. I walked up to her and the crowd got silent.

"Hey, you alright after what happened on Saturday?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm alright," she said with a smile. "Now, you're probably wondering why I'm here...well, Tsukasa-san talked to Sanjo-san and Nikaidou-sensei and asked them if I could go to school here, and somehow, Sanjo-san agreed and I was put into Nikaidou-sensei's class."

"Oh, well then, you'll be in my class then." I said with a smile.

"Really? That's great!" she said with a smile.

"We were now really good friends now, like sisters, I remember the first time we met, we were like sworn enemies, if she had joined the school back then, she would be like...ugh, I don't even want to imagine that. Well, what matters is, is that we're good friends now," I thought to myself. "Oh yeah, Tadase, Nagihiko, and Rima are in my class as well, and Kukai's classroom is right across the hall," I told her.

Right about then, Nikaidou-sensei walked out and said that classes were going to start soon, he told everyone to hurry along and get to their assigned classes. While they were heading to their classes though, people started whispering questions to each other like so: "how does Amu know Utau" and "Are Utau and Amu close friends" and "Amu's friends with Utau? How come she never told us" and all of that stuff. But nevertheless Utau and I just ignored the constant gossip and just went to take our seats, she of course sat beside me in the empty seat. The week seemed to go by so slowly, but I managed to get through it. So after school on Friday, Utau, Tadase, Kukai, Rima, Nagihiko, and myself met up with Yaya, Kairi, Hikaru, and Rikka to go shopping and just plain have some fun after a hard week at school.

Piitaa(as the narrator): Meanwhile, on the other side of the city...NO NO NO the OTHER side...there we go. That's right, now zoom in, closer, closer, too close, back it up, ok good. Continue.

"Sire, we've located where this Amu person you were talking about," said a man in a gray uniform trimmed with the color gold to signify he was this so called "sire's" right hand man.

"Good job R1, now it's time to set out our plan, get the rest of your squadron and prepare for plan X-149, MALL," said the "Sire."

"It shall be done sire," said R1 as he ran off to get the squadron and to set his majesty's plan into action.

"Ikuto, you will regret the day you laid that punch on me...," said Sire with a evil grin. (Look back at Ch. 4, you'll know who he is.)

Piitaa(as a narrator): Now at the mall, 3 hours after this scene of evil scheming.

-Still Amu's P.O.V.-

"Wow Utau, you sure bought a lot of stuff...you too Yaya...," I said as I looked at all the shopping bags they made Kairi and Kukai carry.

"Tadase, a little...help...here," Kukai said as he tried not to fall over the overwhelming amount of shopping bags he was forced to carry.

"Of course," Tadase said as he ran to help the both of them.

"Well, where to ne-" I tried to say before a big explosion was heard at the entrance of the mall.

"What the hell," I heard Kukai say dropping all the bags, Tadase and Kairi did the same. Nagihiko got in front of Rima to protect her, and the other boys did the same. They wondered what was going on while all the civilians escaped through the back entrance. The mall, in around 10 minutes, was completely overtaken by a group of 15 men lead by a 17 year old teen. They all had guns on them, as well as swords. They had driven out all the police officers in the mall, but what was important was that all the civilians got out safely. Well, almost all of them...the attackers surrounded Amu, Utau, Tadase, Kukai, Rima, and the others and they were unable to escape.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here...," Sire said, walking up grinning.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want with us?" asked Kukai ready to fight.

"Oh, we don't want much, just a little revenge, that's all," Sire said.

"Revenge? What did we ever do to you? We have never even met you!" Kairi said.

"It's not the matter of you doing anything to me, it's what your little friend Ikuto did to me," Sire said, clenching his fist and then taking a step forward.

"Everyone, GO! Transform!" yelled Dia as she created a flash of light and before you knew it, everyone was transformed, but since Hikaru's egg didn't hatch yet, Rikka took Hikaru and they hid behind a fountain for protection. Once the light had vanished, everyone had CTed with the Shugo Chara (Ran being Amu's choice).

"Oh, a little dress up party, how nice...*snap* GET THEM," Sire said as he snapped his fingers and 5 of his men started raining bullets that were made of the X-Egg's negative energy at them while the rest charged in with their swords that were also, made out of the X-Egg's negative energy. Then, Sire took out a sword of his own and also charged at them, specifically Amu.

"Ah!" both sides yelled as they charged and dodged each other's attacks. Little did they know that on the second floor, 5 figures stood watching.

-Ikuto's P.O.V.-

"Ugh, this isn't suppose to happen, this isn't going as planned," I said, gritting my teeth.

"Hmm, it would seem that my prediction was a little off, I thought Sire would lay off for a while, but I guess he's too consumed by revenge," said Tsukasa-san.

"Well, we got to help them somehow," said Sanjo-san.

"But what CAN we do?" Nikaidou-sensei asked with frustration. They didn't know...if Ikuto revealed his identity now, the fake death, the plan, everything would be ruined...unless...

"I'm going down there to help them," I said as I walked off to help them.

"But what about the plan?" asked Tsukasa-san.

"...screw the plan, I have to save them, and I'll do it without revealing my identity...I hope..." I said not sure if I can hide my identity if I CTed with Yoru...

"Well, I'm coming with you," said Piitaa, "I don't want to miss out on all the fun."

"...Fine, but put on those stickers that are shaped like the X's," I said.

"Way ahead of you," Piitaa said as he pulled out some stickers and CTed with Panda and them put the stickers on himself.

Meanwhile, the fight was still going on and then Sire found an opening and he launched himself towards Amu and raised his sword, Amu on the other hand had just defeated one of the men and wasn't fast enough to turn around to block, but 2 special guest appeared when this happened...

"Ugh," Sire grunted as he backed off. "So, I see you decided to join the party."

Amu and the others were shocked, because the Stranger and Piitaa were in front of Amu, they had deflected Sire's move.

"Yoru!" the Stranger yelled, CC(Character Change)! And at that moment, Yoru came up from behind Amu and flew up to the Stranger and the Stranger suddenly got a tail and a set of cat ears and then both him and Piitaa raise their hands and a sword appeared for each of them (A black with blue aura for Ikuto and a black with silver-ish aura for Piitaa).

"Oh, what's this?" asked Sire, grinning while looking at the two swords.

"*grunt* I have a feeling this isn't part of the plan," Utau thought to herself as she tried to hold off an attacker.

What was the Stranger and Piitaa doing here? Why were they helping us, is something going on? Who's Sire? Do those three have a connection? Revenge on Ikuto? Yoru CCed with the Stranger? So many damned questions...

"Are you just going to stand there," Sire began to ask, raising his sword, "or are you going to come here and settle this."

"Heh, you ready Onii-san?" asked Piitaa.

"Haha, I was born ready," I replied.

"Now let's get this party started...shall we?"

Panda: Wow, done with chapter 10. Things are getting heated up aren't they? Other than that, now I have to go figure out a schedule of release dates for the next 5 chapters (Ch. 11-15). So remember to review, I'm trying to aim for at least 35-40 reviews by the time I post Chapter 11 up, so until then everyone!
