I managed to post this in time! YAY! This chapter is short, but that is the only way I was able to finish it. It's only necessary to tell why the director wants the dumpty key. Sorry it's short, it is not a long story to tell. Please enjoy!

The bell rang and the students around me began rushing for the door.

"Bye Ikuto!" My friend Jake waved as he left. I soon stood in an empty classroom.

"Yoru!" I called to the chara. Yoru was startled and fell off of a fuzzy jacket he was napping on. He rubbed his eyes and sleepily flew to me. He landed on my shoulder and stretched as 2 cat ears appeared on my head.

I grabbed my violin and jumped out the window and onto a nearby building. This is the route I always took when I had to leave for Easter. I hopped from building to building, until I reached the Easter skyscraper. I jumped to the roof and landed on all fours ( like a cat ). The cat ears disappeared as I laid down on the rooftop.

"Are you going to sleep?" Yoru asked.

"Yes, now be quiet" I put my hands under my head and closed my eyes. School always made me feel so tired.

"But Ikuto!" Yoru whined in my ear. "I'm done napping, I want to play."

"That's because you get to sleep during school." I flicked Yoru away. The last sound I heard before I dozed was Yoru flying away.

It was a dreamless sleep, and I was grateful for that. My dreams were always nightmares about something or another. When I awoke again, it was to the sound of the rooftop door opening. I sat up to see the Director standing in front of me. I got to my feet.

"Ikuto, give me the Dumpty key" he commanded.

"What?" I grabbed my violin case off the rooftop and held the key protectively.

"Easter needs the power of the Dumpty key and the Humpty lock to bring out the embryo. Now hand it over or I shall use force." He motioned to the rooftop door which opened as 5 Easter men came in.

"Never!" I shouted. I placed the key in his pocket as the men came toward me. The battle did not last, because I was greatly outnumbered. A final blow forced me into the ledge around the rooftop. I lost conscious as the director strided to me.

When I awoke again, it was to Yoru shouting in my ear.

"Shut up!" I flicked him.

"What happened?" Yoru asked.

"They took the Dumpty key" I mumbled.

"But why? The Dumpty key needs the Humpty lock to reach its full power! They're a pair."

The words "Humpty key" brought someone else to mind. 'How long have I been out?' I wondered. 'could they have gotten to Amu?'

I struggled to stand and Yoru flew to my face.

"No! Ikuto-"

"Yoru! Help me get to Ouran High!"

Yoru appeared to want to resist, but 2 cat ears told me he knew I would go without his help. Pain shot up my leg each time I jumped, and various cuts were still dripping blood, but I pushed myself forward. Thoughts of Amu gave me strength. 'I have to make sure she's okay.' The image of Amu being beaten as he was made him shiver.

I reached the window sill of the Host Club and Amu was standing there in front of me. I sighed mentally when I saw the gleam of Amu's locket.

"Ikuto!" I heard her cry and she pulled me inside. I felt myself being lowered into a chair.

"Ikuto are you okay?" Amu asked again. I saw a small cut on her face.(from the X-egg)

"Did they… come here… yet?" I tried to sit up to see Amu's face clearly. ' maybe they came, but didn't get the locket' I thought to myself.

"Did who come?" Amu asked. My vision became spotty and my whole head throbbed. I have to warn Amu.

"Easter, they stole my…Dumpty key, and now they're after your locket" I breathed before I fell into the dark depths of unconsciousness.

Done! Again, sorry it is short, the next one will be longer. The next chapter will also take a while but I shall try my best!

Updated: I fixed this chapter up because there are parts were I accidentally switched to 3rd person. I have not gotten much time on the computer to type so it will be a while before the next chapter comes out. Its a long one!
