Hi Hi~ Thank you for continuing to read this story until the 11th chapter. =D I would like the thank the reviewers for taking their time to review and to the readers for actually reading this. Oh and the song My Soul You Beats from chapter 9, I forgot to mention that it was the remix version, where there's piano and guitar played together.
Also, to answer your question GrossGirl18, I honestly don't really know. I guess I really never thought about it. I guess that would've made more sense right? I just wasn't thinking about it when I was writing down my ideas for the story.
"Where am I?" Amu looked around the extremely dark room. She was thinking what might be in this room and couldn't help but think what if something was watching her very movements in the darkness? Anything could be hiding within the shadows. It gave her the creeps. The door suddenly opened and light surged through the room. Amu squinted her eyes at the sight of light pouring into the room. A man that had his hair pulled back and had a uptight face on had walked into the room. He flicked the light switch beside him and the lights beamed down onto the room. Amu now had a good look at the room. It just had tons of crates pilled up here and there but nothing out of the ordinary exactly. The old looking man walked in front of her and crossed his arms while leaning on one of the boxes.
"W-Who are you?" Amu managed to say.
"I'm known as Gozen in this building."
"Gozen?"
"That's irrelevant right now. I here to make a deal with you."
"A deal?"
"Yes. I'm going to let you meet your sister again."
"Ami? Really?" Amu was very surprised with the man's offer.
"On one condition."
"What condition?" Amu said suspiciously.
"You, my dear, work for me."
"Work for you?"
"Wouldn't you want to? After all, you get to see the sister that was kidnapped all those years a go." Gozen said in a voice that just made you want to agree with him right on the spot but Amu wasn't going to give in yet.
"So you were the reason why I can't even spend time let alone see her?"
"Well, it was all part of the plan."
"What plan?"
"The plan that was created years a go but then abandoned. Back then, we found out that you were in the possession of the Humpty Lock so we thought you knew how to use it but you didn't even know the power it wields so we abandoned the plan. But now, it's different." Gozen smiled to himself.
"Now, I can attain all the power in the world! With just you, I could have a whole empire at my feet!" Gozen had his hands in a maniacal way, making him look like a maniac.
"One problem standing in your way. You won't ever get me to actually work for you."
"Even though you're going to put your sisters life on the line?"
"Wha-" Amu didn't even get to finish her question when Gozen hit a red button behind a few crates that Amu didn't take notice to but she sure took notice to them now. A part of the wall shifted and showed lines of a secret passage way. The wall turned and it showed a girl in a cell. She sat at the corner and huddled closely to her knees. She had long pigtails that was spread across the cold cell floor beneath her. She had scars here and there all around her body. Amu couldn't believe her eyes.
"Ami?" The girl looked up at the sound of her name.
"W-Who are you? You're not going to hurt me again are you? I won't tell you where my big sister is!" Ami dug her face into her little cradle she had formed. Was she so scared that she didn't even realize that her sister was right in front of her? Amu tried to call her again.
"Don't worry Ami. It's me Amu." Amu said in a soft and gentle voice. Ami's head shot up.
"Amu? Amu, is that really you?" Ami crawled closer to the bars and gripped onto it but it only set electricity through the metal bars and she let go of it quickly.
"Don't worry Ami, I'm going to get you out of there okay?"
"Okay." For once in a long time, Ami smiled.
"So is it a deal?" Gozen interrupted their little reunion.
"You better let her out after I finish this job of mine."
"Don't worry. Also, you better not pull anything funny. Now follow me." Gozen turned around and headed to the door.
"Ummm…"
"What?"
"Mind untying me first?" Gozen grabbed a knife sitting on a dusty crate and slice the rope in two.
"One more favor. I want you to place my sister somewhere where it's actually possible to live. Like a room that has all the necessities and looks cool." Amu added in.
"And why should I listen to your request?"
"Cuz if you don't, I won't do your dirty work." Gozen thought it over.
"Fine, I'll make the arrangements. Now follow me." Amu followed him but stopped at the door.
"I'll come back for you Ami, I promise." Amu said in a hushed tone so Gozen wouldn't over hear. Then she quickly followed after him.
"Now, here's your first assignment. I want you to eliminate your so called 'friends'." Gozen said from behind his desk. Amu had a baffled expression clearly shown on her face.
"What? You expect me to kill me friends?"
"I will remove what ever gets in my way and currently, that's them. They're going to come after you and I don't want anyone to interrupt my plan."
"I won't do it." Amu said flatly.
"The deal." Amu balled her hands into fists, digging her nails into her skin, leaving marks. Amu looked downwards. What was she supposed to do? It was her sister or her friends. Either way, it was a lost for her.
"Damn it." Amu pulled the doors open and closed them harshly. She covered her face with her palm.
"Damn it! What the hell am I supposed to do?" Amu yelled out in rage. Tears started to trickle down her face, staining the floor below her. She leaned in on the door and slid down. She sat there, crying over what she was supposed to do. Either way, she would lose something important to her.
"I'm sorry" Amu got up and had made her decision. She was going to protect what was most important to her.
Kukai, Nadeshiko, Nagihiko and Yaya were sitting in the living room of the beach house, wondering what they could do to help Amu out. They were there for almost the whole day and nothing. They couldn't think of anything. They did think of some good ideas once in a while but then it seemed almost impossible when they actually thought about it. Kukai felt like pulling his hair out.
"C'mon! Can't we think of anything?"
"Calm down Kukai." Nagihiko said.
"How can I calm down? One of our friends is in trouble and we can't think of anything!"
Nadeshiko had her palm covering her mouth and said "Maybe it's because you like her too much." She mumbled. Kukai turned pink.
He shot up from his seat. "F-for your information. It's not because I…like her or anything." Kukai managed to say. He plopped down onto his seat.
"Besides, I like someone else now." He grumbled.
"WHAT?" Yaya and Nagihiko said. Nadeshiko seemed like she saw it coming.
"I knew it. You like that Utau girl don't you?" Nadeshiko said triumphantly. She sat back into her chair, clearly enjoying the show.
"We're getting off topic. Right now we need to-"
Help me.
"Did you guys hear that?" Kukai asked.
"Hear what?"
Help me, please.
"That!" Kukai exclaimed.
"Now that you mention it…yea."
"Yaya thinks it sounds like Amu-chi!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! She needs our help obviously." Kukai literally kicked the door open in a rush and ran outside and entered into the forest that stood just beside the beach house.
"Hinamori!"
"Amu!"
"Amu-chan!"
"Amu-chi!" They looked and looked but found nothing. Suddenly a twig snapped and disrupted the silence. They all looked to the source of the noise. There was a silhouette but it swiftly leaped into a nearby tree branch. It started to giggle out of no where.
"What's so funny?" Kukai demanded.
"I can't believe you actually fell for it." It said.
"Wait…that sounds like…Amu?" Nadeshiko questioned. She squinted her eyes to see if it was really her. The clouds that shielded the moons light had moved on and it revealed a girl with pink hair standing on a branch. What they all didn't want to be true was oh so true.
"Indeed I am." Amu 's happy face drastically changed from a happy face to a serious face.
"Now it's time for you to die~" Amu jumped into the air and when she landed, she strummed her guitar and it sent waves that made everyone fall to their feet. She did it over and over and they were all pinned to the ground in no time. Before she did the finishing move, she snapped back into her senses and got a grip on reality. They were her friends. The ones that were trying to find her all day but right now, she was just hurting them to no extent. Amu dropped her guitar and it dissolved. Amu looked at her hands that were shaking violently. The hands that were about to kill her friends.
"I-I'm…so sorry." Amu was about to make a run for it when she suddenly couldn't move a single part of her body.
I told you not to try anything funny and here you are, betraying me. Anyways, finish the job.
The Humpty Lock starting to glow and Amu's pupils slowly faded away.
Now go and finish them off.
"Yes Gozen." Amu said in a monotone.
The Humpty Lock started to glow even more as light shone upon Amu's hand. It's form had changed into a shape into a dagger. Amu gripped it by the hilt and drew her hand back. She ran towards the target and brought down the dagger.
"Die!"
This is oddly following the plot for Shugo Chara in some way. I never really intended it to be that way. Anyways, was it better this time? I know it's like way shorter than the others and so much blabbing =.= I think I might end the story in like 3-4 chapter if I remember to. Depends. Thank you for reading the chapter that I typed because I was extremely bored. Hope you have a great day~ Bye Bye
