Keichiro went through the door and closed it fast. Full Moon sat on the ground, feeling helpless. She was helpless: she was afraid. Suddenly, a thought struck her. She quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out a whistle. When she blew it, an eerie, peaceful sound emitted from it.

"Yes?" said Takuto, who slid through the wall, followed by Meroko. The coat room must be the south wall, which means the east wall is the back exit, thought Full Moon.

"Guys, there are people here that are after me, we have to escape through the attic," said Full Moon in a hurried voice.

"What!" replied both Meroko and Takuto, in alarmed voices. Full Moon told them all the details, about how Keichiro saved her, and how she had to escape. Takuto slid through the door and returned after a minute.

"They're 2 rooms away! Quick! Escape through the attic!" he said in a hurried voice. Full Moon climbed up the ladder and hopped into the attic. For an attic, it was well kept. It was a large room with a narrow passage leading into another area. Full Moon began to walk, Meroko by her side and Takuto behind her.

"I think the exited is down there," said Meroko, who seemed more serious all of a sudden. As they continued to walk, Full Moon felt the floor under here became much weaker. At first, she thought her knees had given way, but then the floor had actually given way, send her down. There was a loud crash and then silence, then voices.

"QUICK! She's in here!" said a voice which was very close. Full Moon jumped up, sung open a door and hopped out. The cold winter air met her face as she ran out.

"MITSUKI!" shouted a familiar voice. Full Moon turned around: it was Ooshige inside her car. "Quick! Get in!" Ooshige stepped on the accelerator as soon as Full Moon got in.

"I was so worried! They were after you! That young man, what was his name again... That Kichu boy! He told me everything and helped me escape." she said. Full Moon sat quietly, shaking in silent rolls of fear. After a minute or two, Ooshige let out a scream.

"They're following us!" she shrieked. Full Moon spun around and saw the car; it was about 5 metres away. Ooshige accelerated even faster, and was driving wildly. Full Moon knew Ooshige was panicking and driving in circles.

"AHH! Another car!' screamed Ooshige, who was now shaking. They were trapped. One car cut them off at the front and another at the back. Ooshige sat still in her seat, shaking. Mitsuki spotted an alley way to the side which they could run through to get to the Shinjuku district, which was crowded at this time of day.

"Ooshige, lets get out and run through the alley!" said Full Moon. But it was no good, Ooshige was still in her seat, not moving or speaking. It took Full Moon a minute to realize: Ooshige had fainted.

"Ooshige! OOSHIGE!" screamed Meroko in her bunny form, but it was no use, she was out cold.

"Come on, we have to leave!" said Takuto. Full Moon was afraid, but her legs carried her out of the car, and she snuck into the dark alleyway. She stopped to watch.

"Get her!" said a male's voice. After 15 seconds, there was another shout.

"She's not here! Only her manager!" replied another voice.

"What! She escaped again? I told you idiots to drive faster!" said the harsh male voice "No matter, take the manager, maybe this will make Full Moon change her mind and come to us..."

They took Ooshige (Full Moon was silently sobbing while tears streamed down her face), and drove off. Mitsuki felt, for the second time in 10 minutes, helpless and alone. She heard the distant rumbling of what sounded like a motorcycle.

"Full Moon!" said the voice. Full Moon came out of the alley (despite Takuto's angered shouts) and came face to face with Keichiro.

"I...I.. Somebody told me.." he said stupidly. "Come on! We have to go". Mitsuki hopped on, put on a helmet and they drove off. They never even drove four metres when they heard a gun shot. By the sound of it, it had punctured the motorcycle's wheel. They skidded and fell off.

"KEICHI!" said Full Moon, running to him. He was injured. She ran over to him.

"NO! Run! They're gonna come down! I can't come with you, just go! GO!" said Keichiro in a voice full of pain.

"But I can't leave you!" said Full Moon.

"Just..go..." he said weakly. Full Moon had no other choice, she heard footsteps approaching. She ran back to the alleyway and began sprinting to Shinjiku. Suddenly, she heard another shot, along with Keichiro's mangled scream.
