I'm alive! I know it's a shock! But I'm back and I finally have ideas!

I don't own Shugo Chara or Snow White with the Red Hair! But I honestly wish I did!

ON WITH THE STORY!

No one's pov:

"Ikuto I'm telling you it's not that big of a deal. You act like she's made of glass!"

"I don't care Suu! I don't want her to get hurt!"

Suu rolled her eyes at the stubborn prince. He was acting like Amu would die if she wasn't kept under 24/7 watch. She glanced at Ikuto's two friends who were just watching the argument as she tried to convince him that a day trip wouldn't hurt Amu. Suu sighed as she tried another approach, "Prince Ikuto, the trip Amu is planning to take will only be a day long. This will not only help her try new recipes, but also test out how her ankle's healing up. You wouldn't want to keep her from healing properly would you?"

Kukai and Utau held in their laughs, as they knew that Ikuto had no way out of the trap Suu had laid for him. "Of course not. But I am curious as to why she wants to try out this new recipe now. Is there a specific reason?" Suu was surprised. Had Kukai not told him?

Kukai meanwhile was sweating bullets, he had completely forgotten to tell Ikuto that Amu had been in the Palace!

"She wants to try out the recipe as a gift to the workers in the kitchen that she met today." Suu explained. "I really thought Kukai had told you she was here." Suu's innocent expression didn't fool Kukai. She was getting revenge for not helping her with Ikuto.

Ikuto turned to look at Kukai, "Amu was here?" Kukai gulped. "Well technically yes. But I kind of forgot that she had been here because, it was right before lunch and she was helping with the kitchen staff so you wouldn't have been able to see her anyways."

Kukai was really worried, Ikuto was normally an easy - going guy, but he was very protective of his friends, and even though they haven't seen much of her everyone knew he considered Amu a friend. "You knew she was here and didn't inform me immediately." Ikuto looked ready to smack him.

But Utau having decided to take pity on Kukai said, "Ikuto, calm down you're acting like he said he watched someone kidnap her. He just forgot to bring it up." Then turning to Suu she said, "How long do you think Amu will be gone?" Suu answered immediately. "Before sunset if the tide is good, sundown if it's bad."

"Well then. Please report immediately if she's late." With that Suu curtsied and left the room to get some much needed rest. She was going to have a long day tomorrow.

Time Skip: The next morning

"Bye Suu!" Amu called as she left the bakery.

The trip down to the port was uneventful, her ankle wasn't even acting up!

It wasn't hard to find a boat that was making a round trip to the island and would be willing to take her on, not noticing the young man who was watching her.

Turns out finding the ingredient was harder than she thought, and she ended up spending most of the day trying to find it but along with it she was also searching for more herbs she could use to numb her ankle, she had only just found them when she felt something hit her in the back of the head.

The last thing she saw was a young man with short green hair.

Time Skip: Sundown

When Suu showed up that night, Ikuto knew something was wrong, and immediately tried to go after her. But Kukai and Utau held him back pointing out that no ships would be sailing now anyways.

Ikuto begrudgingly accepted this, but planned to leave the very next morning to find her.

With Amu-

When Amu woke up she found herself in an unfamiliar room, well room was being generous, it was really more of a prison cell complete with the metal bars for a door. She had no clue where she was or why she was there.

A little while later she heard footsteps, and saw the man that she suspected had kidnapped her.

"Well hello Pinky. I'm Kairi, we met in the woods earlier."

"We seem to have very different meanings of the word met. I assume there's an agenda?"

"You wouldn't be here if there wasn't. Just imagine what a lord or a prince would pay to have something so rare as a girl with pink hair and dressed in natural jewels."

'I have to escape!' Amu thought desperately, being no stranger to the kind of auction Kairi was talking about. Amu choked down the food so that Kairi would leave.

(A.N./ This next part is going to be completely made up, and as far as I know this is physically impossible! You have been warned.)

After he left Amu counted to fifty before she made her way to the lock. Kairi wasn't stupid enough to leave her utensils that she could use to pick the lock. But he did make the mistake of not hobbling her hands, and since she was a baker her hands were much stronger than normal. There were even times back in Shugo when she needed to break up pieces of metal, as favors to some regular clients. That was the ability she was counting on to get her out.

Of course back then she also had a baking oven to heat the metals first.

Amu pushed all of her doubts out of her head and focused on the lock, if she could use the natural heat in her hands and compress it into the lock, she just might be able to render it useless and escape.

She worked all night and most of the morning, only stopping when it felt like her fingers were going to fall off, and her eyes refused to stay open.

Amu woke to the sound of the lock opening and Kairi walking in with food. "Eat up Pinky."

Instead Amu tackled him, grabbed the keys and ran out the open door. She managed to lock the door, grab the bag that Kairi had been carrying around, that she soon found out had her things in it, and run.

She ran up the stairs and to the nearest door she could find. It was locked. So were the next two she found, and the windows all had bars on them.

"Looking for these Pinky?"

Amu glared at Kairi, who was on the second floor, as he swung the keys around his finger. She ignored him and kept running, but eventually she was backed into a corner. But she had a few seconds lead on him so he hadn't caught up quite yet.

In her spare seconds Amu hunted through the pack until she found the last of her medicine. It worked wonders when in a paste form but if ignited the smoke acted as a temporary paralysis. Lucky for her Kairi also had a lamp and matches. She lit the lamp with her medicine inside.

"Are you done running now princess?"

"For now."

"Then that means it's time for me to catch you."

When he finished speaking Amu threw the lamp against the stone wall and shattered the glass, releasing the smoke. She ran past Kairi with her hand over her mouth, so as not to breathe the smoke in.

Amu eventually found her way up to the second floor, and to a window that wasn't barred.

There was a tree branch close to the window and she was sure that she could make it.

She unfortunately found out that she had inhaled some of the smoke and landed face first on the ground.

"That was a good try Pinky." Kairi said, as Amu picked herself up. "But not good enough."

Suddenly Amu was against the wall with a torch too close for comfort.

Before Kairi could say anything the torch was wrenched out of his hand, and he was thrown against a tree.

Ikuto stood glaring at Kairi, "Don't ever touch her!" Kairi put his hands up in surrender, he knew when to pick his fights.

It took a few minutes but Ikuto was eventually able to calm down enough to make sure Amu was alright.

"Amu was there anyone else?"

"I didn't see anyone."

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

After tying up Kairi they brought him to the port where a team of guards took over.

They both went home, in silence. Once they were back in the capitol, Ikuto looked over at Amu.

"So wasn't this supposed to be a day trip?"

"Oh haha. I spent most of the day looking for the ingredient and then a little more trying to find a plant that I use for my ankle medicine."

"Okay out of curiosity, what is this oh so special ingredient that you just had to get for this cookie recipe?"

"It's a natural sweetener that enhances the taste of the ingredients."

"You know if the cookies are any good I may just hire Suu's bakery as the royal bakery."

"She would love that. But who says you get to try the cookies?"

"Amu I'm hurt! I thought we were friends!"

"Oh quit being so over dramatic. I'll give you some!"

Aren't they just adorable!

That's all I really have to say about it!

See ya next time!
