I'm sorry I've taken so long to update, well, pretty much everything. The thing is I'm not as much of a Shugo Chara fan as I was before, and I've been addicted to Pokemon Black. So, um, there's not much else to say so let's start the fanfic!

We all met, kind of nervously, in the Royal Garden. No one had anything to say. If Nagihiko was here, he'd probably be able to start us off but if he was here, we wouldn't be trying to save him. How come this was so much different than when we were going to save Utau?

"So, well, we need a plan." Tadase started.

"No duh." Utau muttered. Once again, another awkward silence.

"GUYS! PULL YOURSELVES TOGETHER, YAYA WANTS TO SAVE NAGI-TAN!" Everyone turned to Yaya. "Why are we all down? C'mon, let's go save Nagi-Tan!"

"Yeah!" Kukai agreed, raising his fist. Yaya and Kukai hi-fived.

"Amu-Chan, help them." Ran hissed into my ear. "Hop, Step, Jump!"

"Yeah, let's go!" I said, winking. "Nagi needs our help and we're going to help him!" I jumped up and grinned, a lot like a cheerleader grin. Of course, no one else said anything. My character change ended, and I blushed madly. "At least Ikuto isn't here…" I thought, but then I wondered why I thought that.

"So, are you three suggesting we just barge in and save him?" Rima wondered. Yaya and Kukai nodded. "Honestly, I wouldn't care if Nagihiko spent the rest of his life there. Why do we need to save him?" Everyone looked at her. Tears started falling down her cheek. Rima gritted her teeth. "I wouldn't care if he just dies! In fact, I wish he did!" She started to cry, and she couldn't stop herself. Strangely, Utau was the one who comforted her.

"You don't mean a word you said." Utau whispered, patting her head. "You do want him safe, under your arms again. That's how I felt when Ikuto and I were going to stop Easter alone. I wanted Kukai so badly, but I had to break his heart so he wouldn't come after me." Kukai turned dark red, while Rima looked up at Utau. Her eyes were red and watery, but she uttered a tiny smile.

"I'm not sure of my feelings…" She admitted. "I hate him, but I want him to be safe as well…" Utau smiled, a smile that I never knew was possible on Utau's face.

"We should get going, I still have explosives ready." Everyone's eyes widened.

"Explosives?" I exclaimed.

"Utau-Chan, isn't that… dangerous? I know it's Easter, but we still shouldn't risk blowing up the place even if they have harmed us.

"I like it!" Kukai said, his thumbs up. "It's all dangerous yet worth it! Mashiro, you'll go on top in a position that you can grab Fujisaki and then you can use your rope thing and grab him before he gets… exploded."

"Let's go for it!" Ran and Yaya said in unison. My other charas sweat dropped. We went outside of Easter, ready for our bombing.

"Geez, why do you guys always start things without me?" Kairi jogged over. "What's the plan?" I explained to Kairi, watching his eyes widen.

"That's…terrible!" Kairi exclaimed. "How can you guys even…"

"I don't care how unmoral it is." Rima whispered. "I want Nagihiko safe… now." Kairi was shocked. He turned to Yaya.

"Yaya likes bombs!"

"Ace!" Kairi exclaimed.

"It's Yaya, not Ace, not Yuiki-San!" Yaya said, her hands on her hips.

"I just hope it works…" Tadase whispered. "Fujisaki-Kun, I wonder what he'd say about this. Well, we've came this far, so let's just do it. Amu-Chan, Mashiro-San, you two will go inside and find him. Mashiro-San, stay by him and Amu-Chan, fly up and give us a signal to let the explosives go." I nodded, as me and Rima hurried inside.

"Ohh it's so adventurous!" Kusu-Kusu exclaimed. "This is going to be fun!"

"Yeah!" Ran agreed.

"Let's go ~desu!" Su agreed. Rima looked at the charas funny.

"Um, why are you guys excited to drop a bomb? I mean, this isn't 'fun.' It's just a chore because the stupid cross-dresser can't get himself out, so sadly he needs us."

"Cross-dresser? Rima, he had to dress up as a girl, it's not his fault." I defended.

"Yeah, but I wanted to be mean to him and torment him." Rima said. "He's probably in that closet." We looked at the closet, and our charas opened the door. We saw a familiar guy in a closet tied up. "What, he's actually there? I was just guessing a random place!" Rima exclaimed. I was surprised too.

"Rima, stay here for a moment." I whispered, tip-toeing in. "Miki do me a favor and talk to him."

"Okay… hi Nagihiko?" He didn't move or even respond. "It's a fake!" Miki exclaimed.

"Makes sense, I don't sense Rhythm or Temari." Dia said. I touched his face, and the head came off. My eyes widened, and I ran out of the closet, closing the door quickly.

"What?" Rima wondered.

"It's a fake…" I said, not explaining the rest. Rima nodded, and we hurried and checked many other spots. After checking all of the first floor, we moved on to the second floor.

"Amu!" I heard someone exclaim. Rima and I turned and saw Ikuto.

"Ikuto!" I exclaimed.

"Leave, he's not here." Ikuto hissed.

"How do you know?" Rima asked, when the alarms started to ring.

"Run!" Ikuto hissed. Many Easter employees started running, when they spotted us. Ikuto grabbed my hand, and threw me into a closet. My eyes widened, as I only saw darkness.

"Ran…Miki…Su…Dia?" I asked to the darkness. There was no response. "Rima, Kusu-Kusu, you guys here?" Again, there was no response.

"…Amu-Chan?" I turned quickly, recognizing the voice. I suddenly realized this room was larger than I originally thought.

"Nagihiko?" I exclaimed, looking around, but the darkness covered my eyes.

"You'll get used to the dark after being here for days, unable to sleep." He answered. "Of course, you can't see still, but you begin to get used to the feeling of lonesome and boredom."

"Where are your charas?" I asked.

"I don't know…" He admitted. "I really don't know anything… my family, did they…survive? I've been in the dark… quite literally actually."

"They're okay, just worried about you." I explained.

"Amu-Chan, I'm really happy you're here. For these past few days, I don't know how long, I've been unable to talk to anyone and all I had was this darkness. I would've rather Easter people talk to me. It's been horrible, really. It's like hell…At one point, I actually had believed I died." I felt terrible for him. I didn't know how he felt at all, just stuck like this for a few days, it must be horrible. "How did you end up here?" He asked.

"Ikuto… the alarm went off, he threw me here." I explained.

"What about the others, did they come too?" Nagihiko asked.

"Rima and I came here and the others were outside, waiting for the signal to drop the bombs…"

"Bombs?" Nagihiko exclaimed. Suddenly, the door opened, the alarm stopped. Ikuto and Rima waited.

"Rima, the signal! I found him!" I told her. Rima nodded, character transforming, and using Tightrope Dancer to give the others the signal.

"What are you doing?" Nagihiko exclaimed.

"They're dropping bombs on the building." I explained.

"You can't do that, that's way too risky!" Nagihiko exclaimed.

"It's too late." Rima answered. Nagihiko's eyes widened.

"Hotori-San didn't say no to this plan? A bomb is a terrible idea!"

"Kairi tried to stop us, but we were convinced to do that…you should be happy, it was for your sake." Rima said.

"We don't need a bomb, do you understand the risks…" We all felt the bomb hit the ceiling.

"We barely have time, let's run!" I yelled. The others nodded, as we ran as fast as possible.

"Amu, I can't…" Rima said, panting.

"Rima, you have to continue!" I yelled. Then I realized that she wasn't good at running. I ran back, and grabbed her hand, character changing.

"I'm sorry Amu…" Rima said, her eyes filling with tears.

"What do you me-" That's when the sound of the bomb exploding rang our ears. "IKUTO!"

(Utau's POV)

"…It exploded." Yaya reported. We were at a far enough distance that we didn't get exploded.

"Alright, we did it!" Kukai said, him and Yaya hi-fiving.

"Where's Amu-Chan?" Tadase demanded. "Why did Mashiro-San give the signal?"

"Why do you only care about Amu?" I yelled at him. "Rima and Nagihiko were there too!"

"This is why this was a terrible idea." Kairi muttered. The Easter building caught on flames. I saw a figure run out of the building.

"Why is there only one person? Damn it, Kairi you were right!" Kukai said, saddened already. We walked over, to see Nagihiko safe.

"Where's everyone else?" Tadase demanded.

"Why the hell did you come up with this plan?" Nagihiko yelled. I was shocked, never seeing Nagihiko mad. He turned to Tadase. "How could you let this plan work? You're the king of the guardians, you shouldn't let something stupid like this happen!" Tadase looked down. "You let the girl you love stay inside!"

"Amu-Chan… didn't make it?" Tadase said, tears falling down his face.

"Not only her but Rima-Chan and Ikuto as well!" Nagihiko yelled.

"Ikuto-Kun?" I exclaimed.

"Rima-Chan couldn't run so Amu-Chan went back for her and Amu, calling Ikuto's name. Ikuto, of course ran for them, and I only realized when I was back. I couldn't do anything…" Nagihiko's anger subsided, as he collapsed to the ground, crying. "I'm sorry Hotori-San… I don't want to lose you guys…" I froze, not believing they're gone. Ikuto… the only family I have left. Besides my mother, but what good would she do? That's when I had a crazy idea.

"My own heart, unlock!" I yelled. Eru went into me, and I transformed into Seraphic Charm. I immediately flew up, and breaking open the window, flew inside.

"Utau!" I heard Kukai yell, but I wasn't going back. I saw a lot of flames, but I was determined to save my brother and my best friend. Of course Rima as well… I saw so much of myself in that girl, I had to respect her.

"Ikuto-NiiSan!" I cried. "Amu, Rima, anyone?"

"Utau?" I heard a voice yell. "Please help, Rima's knocked out!" I flew down, seeing Amu knelt beside Rima.

"Where's Ikuto?" I yelled.

"He left… I don't know, I don't know why he left us!" I picked up both of them, and flew out before the building completely collapsed. "Is everyone okay?" Amu asked.

"Yeah, everyone else is fine. Worried about you two, but everyone's physically fine." I answered. Amu nodded, looking at Rima worriedly.

"Utau, you shouldn't have come for me." Amu said.

"What do you mean? You two would've died!"

"It was dangerous…" Amu said. "I was…ready for death."

"No you weren't… Tadase wasn't ready for your death." I landed beside everyone else.

"Utau you actually did it!" Kukai exclaimed, running over. He helped me care for Rima, as Amu ran into Tadase's arms.

"Utau-Chi! You're a hero!" Yaya said.

"I had to do it… I came up with the stupid plan so I had to fix it." I answered.

"By any chance, did you see my charas?" Nagihiko asked. I looked at him, pity in my eyes.

"No… I'm really sorry." I answered. Nagihiko looked at the ground. "Eru, Iru, do you two sense Nagihiko's charas?" Eru and Iru used their powers to sense the charas.

"I don't sense them…" Iru admitted. Even Iru felt badly.

"Rhythm-Kun… Temari-Chan…" Miki said, saddened.

"Guys, you made it out!" Amu exclaimed, a smile creeping across her face. "But, how?"

"Ikuto helped us." Dia explained. "He left the building to save us." Amu nodded slowly. We all looked at Rima, her eyes closed.

"We should probably bring her to the hospital." Kukai suggested.

"I can take her there." Nagihiko offered, but I realized he wanted to be with her.

"Let's just call 911." I said, dialing those three numbers. I explained that there was a fire and a girl was passed out. The police took my directions. "Nagihiko you should return home, your parents are worried." Nagihiko nodded slowly, but he was reluctant to leaving Rima. He started for his house, disappearing.

"Where do you think Ikuto went?" Kairi wondered. We shrugged, as the ambulances pulled up. The police took her in, and looked at me momentarily.

"You're Hoshina Utau!" They exclaimed.

"Yes I am… you should really help her though." They nodded, as they drove her to the hospital.

"Amu-Chan, you should tell her parents." Tadase said. Amu nodded, and hurried off to the Mashiro Residence. We all headed to our houses since it was getting late.

(Amu's POV)

I finally arrived at Rima's house. Panting, I went to her doorstep, and knocked on the door.

"What is it?" Her mom asked. I explained that there was a fire in the building we were in and Rima is now being hospitalized. I apologized, when Rima's mom's eyes widened. Her dad heard too.

"It's your fault, you should've been watching her closely!" Her father yelled.

"No, it was your day off!" Her mother yelled. They argued for a while, and I couldn't stand it anymore.

"Who cares? Your daughter is in freaking critical condition, you should go see her!" I stopped the angry tears coming down my face. Her parents looked at me, realizing I was right. They got in their car, and drove to the hospital. I watched them drive off, wondering how Rima dealt with her parents every day. It must have been terrible for her and I wondered how Rima dealt with it. I walked home, my mood now being morose. I went to my bed, and fell asleep.

Yes, there is still so much more to resolve I decided to make the next one actually the last chapter. If I just squeezed it into this chapter, it wouldn't come out good. I promise, I'll update a hell of a lot quicker next time! Review!
