It's short, but done :)

Thanks for the reviews! :D

Enjoy!


"I have to tell Midori what happened." Utau said as she marched towards the front door.

Utau didn't get a chance to knock on the door because Midori opened it with tears in her eyes and two men holding her arms and a woman further behind, she appeared to be the ring leader.

"Utau?" Midori exclaimed and then the men dropped her arms.

"Midori," Utau gestured for her to come closer, "Amu's been kidnapped."

"So it's true then." Midori walked to Utau and then hugged her.

"These people are part of a group that thinks it's their mission to kill raising stars that they don't approve of. Amu wasn't where she was supposed to be when the bomb went off." Midori whispered rapidly.

They still hugged and Utau responded, "What are they doing to you?"

Midori let go of Utau and smiled sadly as she whispered, "Going to see Amu."

The men grabbed her arms and pulled her to their car. Utau watched helplessly as they drove away and it pained her to know she couldn't do anything.

Utau walked into the house; she wasn't sure what made her want go in, but her instincts told her to go inside. As she wandered around inside she found nothing, or no one. She found it odd because she remembered visiting and Midori had a dog. Then she thought of Midori's fiancé; where as he?

Suddenly, she heard a scraping sound and then a bark followed shortly after, but it was a panicked bark. Utau ran to the back door and was horrified at what she saw.

The dog was barking wildly at Midori's fiancé, who was lying unconscious on the deck. Utau threw open the door and rushed to his side. She starts to shake him when she noticed what condition he really was in.

First, the smell of metal drowned her senses, and then when she looked at her hands they were red. When she looked down she saw blood surrounding him. Utau swallowed and tried to grasp some sanity that was lingering in her mind.

She pulled out her phone and dialled the ambulance.

"Hello, what's your emergency?" The woman stated.

"He," Utau gasped trying desperately to calm down, "He's bleeding."

The woman became serious, "What is your location?"

"I." Utau started to hyperventilate, "I don't know." She finally choked out.

The woman was typing feverously on her keyboard to bring up satellite location on her screen.

"Miss," She called for Utau's attention, "I need you to calm down and tell me what happened."

Utau wasn't thinking straight, "I don't know." She cried, "I don't know."

"Okay, an ambulance is on its way." The woman said softly, "Would you like me to stay on the line?"

Utau didn't say anything as she gasped.

"I'll hang up once the ambulance gets there." The woman decided.

The dog stopped barking and began to whine. Utau, meanwhile, was leaning against the house staring at the body that could or couldn't be alive.

Sirens were heard and when paramedics came into the house so did Nadeshiko and Rima. Utau managed to get their attention. The paramedics pulled the body on to a stretcher and then lifted a black bag over his face and body.

"Aren't you going to see if his alive?" Utau begged.

Nadeshiko and Rima stared at Utau hopelessly.

The paramedics didn't listen to her as they lift him away to the ambulance.

"He could still be alive." Utau screamed.

"No, Utau." Nadeshiko put her arms around Utau, "He couldn't."

"But." Utau sobbed. Rima joined the hug, but they were soon separated by the paramedics and a police officer.

"We need to look her over and then you will all be questioned down at the station." The paramedic stated.

Utau sobered up immediately, "I have to get home." She spoke immediately.

The police officer shook her head, "Sorry, honey, that will have to wait."

The paramedic helped Utau stand up and then helped her over to a second ambulance as the first one pulled away. It was a quick, but thorough check-up and the only thing they found was that Utau was going through shock. They expected that after what she just saw.

Afterwards, all three girls piled into the same cruiser; even if another one was offered they wanted to be together.


Meanwhile, an hour or so after the house was empty Ikuto pulled up to the neighbouring house. He walked up to the steps and met his mother who was looked happy.

"Is Utau here?" Ikuto asked.

His mother looked confused, "I haven't seen your sister."

Ikuto sighed and then walked into the house, "She's late, again."

Ikuto sat on the couch and his mother asked, "Why did you take a cab here? Is there something wrong with your car?"

"Erin has my car, and I can't get in touch with her." Ikuto growled.

Souko smiled at her son.

Suddenly the phone rang. It sounded eerie, almost like it was carrying an evil omen. Souko and Ikuto looked at the phone; this was the first time she hesitated to pick up the phone as she slowly walked over. Something was off and she wasn't afraid to admit she was terrified to know what it was.

She finally got to the phone and picked it up.

"H-hello." she answered.

She didn't bother turning away from Ikuto as a rush of emotions flew across her face. First relief, but it only last a second, then terror; it lasted the longest, but finally sorrow and the tears fell like waterworks as she dropped phone as she fell to her knees.

"Mom." Ikuto called as he rushed over to pick up the phone and comfort his mother.

"Ikuto." Someone said through the phone.

"Yes?" Ikuto said.

"My car is in Midori's driveway, I have permission for you to take it and the keys should be in it. Can you come pick me up?" Utau asked.

"But mom," Ikuto started.

"I explained to mom what happened, but we need your help." Utau urged.

The line went dead and Ikuto looked at his mother. She told him to go help his sister, but he hesitated. Finally, he did leave, but not before calling his dad.


There you have it!

Sorry for the wait!
