Hideki's apartment.

The wake up timer in Sumomo's head went off. "Good Morning! Time for wakey excercises!" Sumomo said loudly. She looked around the empty apartment. "Chi? Chi?" She gasped. "Oh no! This is horrible! Chi's not here? Oh where could she be?" Just then she heard a loud knock on the door.

"Hey Motosuwa. You there?" It was Shinbo. "I fixed up that little problem with Kotoko. She's ok now. I have her right here. Motosuwa?" Shinbo opened the unlocked door and looked inside. "Motosuwa?"

"Shinbo! Chi is gone?"

"Why would Chi leave?" asked Kotoko.

"I dont know but she's not here! She's gone!

"Calm down Sumomo. She is gone?" He said picking her up.

"Master Hideki had to work early. But Chi is not here! I woke up and she was gone! She is supposed to be here! She's gone!"

"Ok. Let's go find Motosuwa and tell him what happened." He told her as he placed her on his shoulder beside Kotoko and left the apartment.

In the market

Yuzuki had been running a small errand task for Minoru Kokobunji in the market when she saw Chi at a distance. She smiled warmly and walked over to Chi. "Hello Chi. It is a beautiful day isn't it?"

"Chi." Chi said trying to cover up her sadness with a smile.

"Are you here by yourself?"

"Hideki is working."

"Oh I see so you came to do a bit of shopping for yourself?"

"Chi."

"I see...so-"

"I am sorry. Chi has to go now. Goodbye." Chi turned around and walked away. Yuzuki watched her leave and knew something was wrong. Yuzuki finished her task and walked by to the Kokobunji Mansion.

Club Pleasure

"Hideki...breakfast was sure great. Too bad we had to go to work right afterwards. It's been really busy today." said Yumi.

"Yeah..." Hideki replied a little sad.

"Hey what's wrong?"

"Huh? Oh...nothing..."

"You sure? You seem down..."

"Nope I'm fine." Hideki grabbed a tray of drinks and went back to work. Of course I'm not fine. I've been too busy working and studying for exams. I haven't even spent time with Chi...Chi...I wonder what she is doing.. As he served the customers they're drinks, Shinbo, Kotoko and Sumomo walked into the place and took a seat.

"Ok you guys..do you see him around?" Shinbo asked them. Kotoko and Sumomo looked around until they heard a loud crash. At a distance they saw Hideki getting up slowly.

"I think we've found him..." said Kotoko. Shino walked over to Hideki and helped him up.

"Motosuwa..."

"Shinbo? What are you doing here?"

"Senpei! Are you okay!" Yumi exclaimed as she rushed over.

"Yes I am fine." He said as he walked with Shinbo to the table. He saw and Kotoko and Sumomo sitting on the table. "Huh? Sumomo? What are you doing here? Why aren't you at home with Chi? Did something happen to Chi? Is she alright?"

"Sit down Motosuwa.We have something to tell you.."

"Is it about Chi?"

"Just sit down." Hideki sat down while Yumi stood by listening.

"Motosuwa...when was the last time you saw Chi?"

"Uh...this morning before i left to work."

"Did she tell you anything?"

"No..well...she made breakfast but i was already going to have breakfast with Yumi so i told her that and i left.What is going on?"

"Well..." Shinbo started.

"Chi's gone!" exclaimed Sumomo.

"What?"

"It appears that Chi has runaway..." All attention turned to Kotoko as she said this.

"Runaway..?" asked Hideki. "Why would she do that?"

"Well...you have not spent much time with her have you?" asked Kotoko.

"Well...no...but.." All fell silent until Hideki and Yumi's boss yelled at them.

"Don't worry Senpei...I'll take care of things here...you go on and look for her."

"Thanks Yumi." Hideki stood up and looked at Shinbo, Kotoko, and Sumomo. "Okay guys...just wait for me outside while go change. They nodded and left. Hideki went to the back and changed clothes, then walked out of the bar.

"Senpei!" Hideki turned around to find Yumi running out.

"What's wrong Yumi?"

"Senpei..I wanted to say sorry...maybe Chi left because of me..."

"Don't worry, it's not your fault...it's mine. Now i have to find her...and bring her back..." Yumi nodded and watched them leave. Hideki sighed. "I have no idea where to find her..."

"Let's go ask Minoru...maybe he's seen her," suggested Shinbo.

"Yeah..ok.." Hideki said sadly. It's my fault she left...oh Chi..I'm so sorry...She must be scared...I hope nothing bad happens to her...Chi...I'll make it up to you..I promise...
