I'm back! Sounds creepy lol I don't own Shugo Chara.

THORNS OF BETRAYAL:

Chapter 14- Surprise!

(Amu pov)

I felt I was forgetting something very important but couldn't put my finger on what it is I was forgetting, so I shrugged it off. I was currently changing in easy to run and fight in clothes. Kukai had gone off with Ikuto to gather weapons. I could only hope Ikuto would be able to talk to Kukai and maybe help straighten things out.

Rima and I made an agreement to try to talk to Utau and try to help her and Kukai patch things up. I could only hope it would work. After all it would be painful to see to people you love break up. They balanced each other out and needed each other.

I walked down stairs to find Rima and Utau in a very questionable position that made me cover my eyes while stuttering an apology. What the heck was going on I mean if they were going lesbian why wasn't I told? My eyes opened when I heard the two of them laughing like maniacs. "Amu it's… not what you think."

I turned to look at Rima who had spoken due to the fact Utau was still laughing uncontrollably. I couldn't understand what they could have been doing that put them in such a… odd position if it wasn't what I thought. "Um… then what was going on?" I asked while trying not to act like a kid who caught her parents having sex.

"Well you see Utau needed help with her zipper and so I was helping her, but then we fell and she tried to catch me. Because I didn't finish zipping her up her shirt slipped down when we fell thus resulting in what you saw." Rima said as if it was perfectly normal and happened all the time. Utau must have realized her chest was still exposed because she quickly pulled her top up and Rima zipped her up.

Just in time to because a second later in comes both Ikuto and Kukai carrying two massive old dusty looking trunks. Sitting them down before us they were both smiling like they had won the lottery. "Ladies I present to you the things that will surely save our asses." Ikuto said while bowing and gesturing with one hand toward the boxes.

Boys even vampire boys are such idiotic creatures sometimes. However when they opened the trunks even I was impressed. Who would have thought that in the house would be trunks full of weapons of this magnitude? However I kept my face neutral and grabbed a hand gun which I strapped to my leg and two swords which I slung on my back.

Ikuto passed me a belt that held bullets and I thanked him. "By the way you look sexy all decked out to kill." He smirked while I just smacked his arm lightly. However that didn't stop me from smiling just a teeny bit.

It's crazy how despite the fact the world may very well end we were all able to act semi normal. I looked at everyone and really felt appreciation for all of them. In a way I felt as if they were what would help me make it through this. I looked at all my friends and felt determination run through my veins.

Then with a nod I signaled that I was ready to go.

(N/A pov)

Smoke hung thick in the air choking Rima until she managed to get used to it. There were no people in sight, the survivors were held up in hiding praying they would make it through this. After walking for ten minutes Amu pointed out they had yet to see any monstrous things, Rima reminded them not to let their guard down yet. Deep inside they were all hoping it was over.

Their school came into view, and all of them were shocked by the sight that filled their shocked eyes as well as the sounds that entered their ears. The lights were on in the football field and in the field was a sight confusing and horrible. There were cages field with terrified people. Surrounding them were dozens of monsters that could only be referred to as demonic creatures.

It was all very terrifying but the thing that shocked them the most was the figure sitting on the bleachers seeming to be enjoying the show. From this distance they could not make out a face but it was very clear that the person was in charge. The beastly creatures would make a screeching noise that sounded like metal being torn in half. It was almost deafening and Amu, Rima, Ikuto, Utau, and Kukai couldn't help but flinch.

Though no one said anything it was clear that the impact of what they were dealing with was hitting them hard.

(Ikuto pov)

"Come on! First we get to Tsukasa then we will deal with that" I said while pointing at the football field. We needed to leave before we ended up in a cage being poked by drooling beast. Not that the cages could hold us but still there were too many to fight off even with the weapons or the fact we weren't human. Excluding Rima of course but that was a handicap to us we would have to protect Rima and wouldn't be able to go all out.

Taking one last glance at the horrible scene I started walking forward with the others following silently behind me. The reality that we were dealing with Armageddon weighed heavily on me, and I'm sure it did the others as well. I had the urge to just say 'screw all the people and let's just run away' however I knew we couldn't do that. I'm not a heartless person but it was just natural instinct to feel this way.

We walked and the closer we got the worse everything seemed. We made it to Tsukasa's street only to find every single house on the street was burned down completely only fireplaces were left along with a few other things that were burned but strong enough to still stand. Amu ran to the mess that was once a house and began looking through the rubble. I pulled her to my chest when she started to get frantic in her search.

"Amu… Amu listen to me I am certain he is ok." Somehow I knew this was the truth. She only nodded and then she straightened herself up and dusted her soot stained hands off. "Alright let's go!"

Sorry it is short but this is a filler chapter to lead up to the bigger scenes.
