Recap

"Yori, which way is it out of here?" Rima asked.

"We have to be careful Tsubasa is still a huge threat and we have no idea where Tadase, Katie and Hannah went they could all be waiting for us up there." Yori pointed out.

"That's true but I know a secret way out" Nagi stated going over and opening a secret entrance from the other side of the room, "I saw Tsubasa go through it before."

"This way"

End of Recap

Amu's Pov

We sneaked our way out of the horrid building. Nagihiko led us through a secret door that led us straight out of the building. From there we ran all the way back to school before Easter could catch us. I could taste victory. We saved Nagihiko and Yori. Rima and Nagihiko held hands while running; it was easy to understand why.

"We made it!" Ran yelled as we reached the school gates. I turned my head around and I could see the large Easter building far in the distance.

"Don't be so happy, we will have to face them again soon" Ikuto pointed out turning his head and heading into the school ahead of everyone. I hated how he was always right.

"Don't be that way Amu, you know you love him" Miki whispered in my ear. My face turned a pale colour of red. Was it true? Was I really in love with Ikuto?

I soon realised I was day dreaming and so I snapped back to reality. I heard laughter coming from my three charas.

I sighed and walked on with everyone else into the school.

I went straight to my room where I found Utau with Kukai.

"What's going on in here?" I teased smiling at the colour of both their cheeks.

They jumped up from the bed where they sat and stood away from each other.

"So what did you find out at Easter?" Kukai asked suddenly in a serious tone of voice.

"Well Ikuto and I were stuck in a cupboard for ages but we did hear a lot" Amu stated thinking back to earlier.

Flashback

We heard Tadase leave and a woman entering the office. We could hear what they said even though it didn't make much sense to us.

"Good morning, sir" The women said in a sad tone.

"How is he?" Tsubasa asked.

"He is fine but he will need the Embryo soon or he will collapse"

"I promise you, my son I will save you no matter what the cost is." Tsubasa whispered to himself.

End of Flashback

"After that Tsubasa and the women left the office and we managed to quietly escape." I explained.

"What do you think is going on?" Utau asked.

"Well we aren't sure but Ikuto remembered he saw a newspaper article once about the director of Easter and his son. His son is called Kireon and he has been sick now for three years. The doctors say there is no way to save him and that soon he will collapse." I began, "We think that this is why he wants the Embryo, to save his son from death."

"What?" Kukai exclaimed.

"I'm not sure if it's true or not yet. You said you knew what's wrong with Tadase?" I asked.

"Yes. He is being threatened by Easter. Tsubasa said that if he doesn't obey he will kill his family which are locked up in an Easter Dungeon in America." Utau explained.

"Oh!" I shouted. This was all getting too much to handle. I wish I had never come here. That reminded me of my past. The past that I'm too scared to tell anyone. Tears poured from my eyes so I turned my head the other way.

"Amu" Utau whispered as I ran out of the door and slammed it shut behind me.

Utau must've thought I was being weird but the truth was that something like that had happened to me when I was younger.

I was only five years old at the time but I still remember it so well. There was a burglar at my house and we were all sitting in the living room. My family was very wealthy and we lived in a big house. The burglar took out a gun and held it up to my family. He told me to get him money or he would kill my family. My mother, my father and my sister. I couldn't find any and so he killed my family. He left me alive he wanted me to suffer for the rest of my life without a real family to care for me. I went into foster care after that. I was adopted three years ago by my new family. They are horrible to me. They treat me like I'm nothing hopefully one day I can leave them for good.

"Amu?" Ikuto called as I was running down the stairs. I stopped for a moment. He could see the tears streaming from my eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked worryingly.

"I can't do this anymore!" I yelled and ran for the doors. I ran and ran as fast as I could out of the school. I ended up two towns over where I was lost. Ran, Miki and Su were still back at the school but I knew that having them would only come to fighting again. I couldn't do it.

Fighting against Easter would mean killing Kireon and not fighting would mean my friends and everyone that I cared about would get hurt. I couldn't let that happen. I didn't know what to do.

Ikuto's Pov

Why did I care so much for her? When she was crying I wanted to hug her tightly. I went to the only place I could, Utau's room. When I entered the room Kukai and Utau were both there at opposite ends of the room looking worried

"I take it that by the look of your face you saw Amu?" I asked. They looked up and all they could do was nod.

"What happened?"

"We were only talking about Tadase and then she started crying and ran out of the room" Utau explained, "Did Kairi tell you?"

"Yes, I don't know why this upset her" We all looked down and thought of reasons why Amu could have found it upsetting.

"The auditions for the talent show are tonight!" Utau remembered. Kukai and I looked up.

"We have to cheer her up" Kukai decided.

"We'll leave it up to you, Ikuto" Utau insisted.

"Why me?"

"We're...busy but we will meet you tonight before the auditions."

"Fine then" I sighed. Why was it up to me?

Yaya's Pov (First time!)

We were sitting at the lunch table with Ikuto, Kairi, Rachel, and Yori. It seemed weird sitting with a popular at our table. No one was in the cafeteria though so it was fine. Kairi had just finished explaining to Rachel and Ikuto about Tadase. I was sitting bored out of my mind at the table.

"Why don't you go up and find Rima and Nagihiko, Yaya?" Ikuto asked obviously seeing I was bored.

"Ok-ay! Ikuto-kun!" I shouted. I ran up the stairs till I found Rima's room. I heard noises inside. I knocked on the door and walked inside. Rima and Nagihiko were sitting on the bed looking at each other.

"Yaya?" Rima called standing up. Nagihiko still sat on the bed.

"Well, Ikuto asked me to come up here" I could see Rima was annoyed while Nagihiko looked happy just being here with us.

"I'm going to kick him!"Rima whispered, a dark aura surrounded her. Nagihiko just sat on the bed laughing.

Amu's Pov

I couldn't stand it. I was two towns over and crying out loud. My feet couldn't run anymore and my heart felt like it could stop beating at any moment.

"Hinamori Amu?" A familiar voice called from behind me. I turned around and came face to face with Tadase.

"Oh it's you" I moaned.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Running away" I stated looking down, "Why are you?"

"I live here, since my parents are in the prison in America Tsubasa gave me an apartment here to live." He explained.

"So you know that we know?" I asked trying to sound smart.

"Yes, you left my journal lying out and it wasn't hard to figure out"

"Why aren't you attacking me?"

"I don't know" He whispered.

"Tsubasa is watching me all the time. I'm not able to ever be myself. If I ever disobey him he will set fire to the prison that my parents are held in. He doesn't have any monitors or people here to watch me so I'm free but I wouldn't underestimate him."

"Oh I see"

"Why are you crying?" He asked noticing my tears.

"Long story"

"I should go I don't want us to be seen"

"Wait, c-come back to my house" I stuttered.

"You sure?"

"Yes, they don't have any monitors there it will be fine"

"Thank you" he whispered.

"We will need disguises just to make sure!" I whispered. Luckily there was a costume shop just down from where we were standing.

30 minutes later

"There" I was dressed in a blond wig with a fancy dress on and Tadase wore a black wig and I put black eyeliner on him to make him look like a girl.

"Why do I have to dress as a girl?" He asked. I laughed slightly and nodded at his outfit in approval.

"Very well" He laughed too as we walked back to my house.

"Here we are!" I called as we reached the house.

"Thanks"

We both walked inside and went upstairs to my bedroom.

"So let's talk" I began, "Tell me what's happened"

"Well it started four years ago. I knew my parents had left me to go to America and that they had left me with a friend. That friend turned out to be Tsubasa. Tsubasa had given my parents a free trip to America for a week but they didn't know that they would be locked up in a prison. While I didn't know, Tsubasa made me join Easter which was when Yori joined too. He took me to America when I refused to be a spy. He showed me my parents and told me that if I ever disobeyed him he would set fire to the prison and my parents would die in flames. I couldn't let that happen so when I came back I helped him with all I could. Tsubasa didn't need to control me but he did have some control which I found out about yesterday. He had a machine that could alter my mind whenever I went on a mission. It would make me think of one thing; destroying the enemy. I always thought it was just me that was turning dark inside but now I know it was Tsubasa. The sad part is he is doing all of this to save his son. Even if it meant killing other people. He's a monster and he should be taken down." He explained.

"That's terrible" I whispered tears strolling down my face, "Is there any way we can save you?"

"There is one way but its way too dangerous"

"What is it?" I asked.

"The only way to save me from Easter is to kill Tsubasa."

"Kill?"

Ikuto's Pov

Where did she go? I looked around the entire school and couldn't find her. The talent show auditions started in fifteen minutes. I called her number about ten million times but not once did she answer.

Utau is going to kill me.

"Ikuto!" I heard a familiar voice call from behind. I turned around to see Nagihiko.

"Yo, Nagi" I calmly said, "Are you still going to play keyboard in our band?"

"About that," He started, "Rachel is better than me so i think she should be in your band instead of me."

"Are you kidding?" I laughed, "Rachel may be on our side but you are our best friend not Rachel"

"That's kinda mean" He sighed.

"The bigger problem is that it's fifteen minutes till we're on and Amu isn't in sight."

"Have you tried her house?" He asked.

"Do you know where she lives?"

"Well no, but Rachel might know"

"It's too late now anyway we better just let Utau be the lead singer." I sighed.

"Let's go"

Amu's Pov

Kill was such an overused word. I hated that word.

"Sorry Tadase, but I...can't kill anyone" I looked down trying to hide my tears.

"Why are you crying?" He asked noticing what I was doing.

"Your life reminds me so much of my past" I cried more and more and wiped my tears away but they kept coming.

"How?"

"I can't say. My depressing, sad past... I haven't told anyone before." I wiped my tears and grabbed my phone.

"Oh... Ikuto has been trying to phone me" I whispered trying to forget what she was just talking about.

"Phone him back"

"Ok" I dialled his number and waited but there was no answer. He was busy.

Normal

Utau, Kukai, Nagihiko, Rachel, Rima, Yori, and Ikuto stepped into the audition room. Ikuto leaving his phone behind,

"Hi, we are the Chara Chorus and we are here to audition for the talent contest" Utau announced while everyone took their positions.

Kukai on drums, Ikuto and Rima on guitar, Nagihiko on Keyboard, Rachel and Yori as backup singers and Utau as the lead singer.

"Thanks for filling in" Ikuto whispered towards Rachel and Yori.

"No problem" They replied back.

Song: Brick by boring brick by, you guessed it, Paramore! Lol

She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind

It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies

keep your feet on the ground
when your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da

So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out

But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve
Well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick
or the wolf's gonna blow it down

keep your feet on the ground
when your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle

Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic

If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it

But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah

Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Well go get your shovel
and we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
ba da ba ba da ba ba da...
ba da ba ba da ba ba da...

"That was good, congratulations you are in the talent show. First round is on Monday night."

Everyone cheered as they exited the audition room.

"I just wish Amu were here" Ikuto said and everyone agreed.

"You seem to really like Amu?" Rima teased.

Ikuto blushed but turned around to hide it.

"Aww, Ikuto" Utau teased. Everyone laughed and cheered.

Ikuto checked his phone and had received a text from Amu saying...

I can't do this anymore,

I'm moving away,

I can't kill and I can't risk anyone being killed so I've decided that I don't want to be part of it.

Sorry, Ikuto...x

From, Amu
