Sora: (Depressed)
Ikuto: Whoa! What's up with her?

Ikuto: I see
Sora: (depressed)
Sora's soul seeping out: This is an extra long chapter!
Ikuto: My god, calm down already!
Amu: Ikuto,can you do the disclaimer please~
Ikuto: (smirk) Sure anything for my strawberry. Sora does not own Shugo Chara!
*Recap*
"Shit" I watched as the singer successfully dragged Saaya with her. Wait a minute. Won't anyone notice? I looked back at where the cake was and saw...Saaya? What the hell? I felt myself unfreeze so I walked towards Saaya and actually talked to her. I rubbed my eyes and saw that she was still there blabbing on about purses. So what I just saw was an illusion? I looked at the floor and saw a faint trail of blood leading out the door. I walked outside of the room following the trail till it led outside. I tightened my fist "This is not good" I said to myself.
Unknowingly someone who was sitting on a chair playing chess by themselves was watching the whole scene from above smirking and chuckled darkly. "Heh, everything's going all according to plan. Now Ikuto what will you do?" the person said as they knocked over the knight's piece with their Queen.
*End of Recap*
Amu POV
I checked behind me to see if that guy was still following me. I was at least a mile away from the mansion. Before I left I changed into some casual black shorts and a no-sleeved shirt with an ear piece on my ear. 'This is bad' I thought. If the director finds out that I've been seen, he'll have my head! I walked past a tree and knocked on it twice. A silhouette of a man jumped before me. I stared the stranger down, it was only Yoru after all.
"Did the mission go well?" Yoru asked me as I tossed the now dead Saaya against a random tree.
"Ah w-well y-you see..." I stuttered as I looked down. Dammnit I never stutter.
Yoru lifted an eyebrow. "So someone saw you?" he asked. I gulped hard and looked at my surroundings in case anyone was around. I sighed then told him the whole story of me seeing this handsome man with sapphire eyes and matching hair watching me, that he was an assassin, how I slipped the devices him, how he spotted me and Saaya, and practically followed me outside. I saw Yoru tense a bit. I gave him a questioning look until I noticed that he was looking behind me. So I turned around and gasped.
It was the guy from before! With cat ears and tail? Anyway...how could he have followed me this far without breaking a sweat! I saw that he was smirking at me. Or was it behind me? I looked at Yoru and saw that he glared at the man. Then I noticed something, they looked almost identical! What the Hell! "Heh, well it's been a long time, hasn't it...Yoru?" the man smirked.
Yoru gritted his teeth,"Shut up Ikuto you know that I don't want anything to do with you or Halloween Inc. anymore!" The man known as "Ikuto" kept the smirk on his face chuckled then looked at me.
"I guess, you're Yoru's new partner?" Ikuto asked me.
"Ya, so what?" I answered with my Cool n' Spicy facade. me
"I never knew Yoru was obsessed with strangely coloured hair people." He chuckled
"Speak for yourself you freaky blue haired nekomimi hentai cat-eared cosplay boy!" I yelled at him.
"..." Ikuto sweatdropped. "Where did that come from...?"
"Ha! Burned!" Yoru exclaimed. I just puffed out my cheeks and looked away embarrassed. Ikuto looked at me strangely. "Ok. The rest of whatever you called me I get, but why am I hentai?" He thought about the events that happened when we met and smirked. "My, my no wonder you called me such a naughty thing. But Amu I think it's you that is the pervert not me."
"Wha- no I'm not!" I exclaimed.
"I don't get it. What happened while you were at the party, Amu?" Yoru asked me. I blushed and looked down not talking.
"Well," Ikuto started," We can start with how Amu was feeling me up." I blushed even harder when he said that. "Oh and how she kissed me on the lips. You're actually pretty good with kissing ya know that?" He said. I think my face turned even redder if that was even possible. Yoru made a "O.O" face at me.
"Sh-shut up!" I yelled and started hitting the guy.
Ikuto chuckled and stuck out his hand. "Alright, alright, friends?" he asked me. I looked at his hand then back at him. He was still smiling at me. I cautiously took his hand and shook it once. I was about to pull it away when all of a sudden Ikuto pulled me close to him. "W-wha" I stuttered. He lifted my shirt a little bit on the bottom and looked at my waist.
"Hmm,judging by that times new roman "A" tattoo on your left hip, I'm guessing you're Alice from the Dark Wonderland group?" Ikuto asked me. I blushed, shook my hand away from his grasp and pulled my shirt down.
"Y-y-ya s-so what?" He threw his head back and started laughing loudly. I glared at him for 2 whole minutes until he stopped then started chuckling.
"I would have never of thought that the fierce and dangerous "Hinamori Amu" would be so easy to tease." Me and this Ikuto guy started bickering on about each other for what felt like hours until, Yoru broke it up.
"Alright! Chillax you two! Ikuto go flirt with some other girl, Amu's with me!"
"Oh? Man i'd never thought you'd actually find a girlfriend, kudos to you dude." Ikuto smirked. Damn I wish I could just wipe tht stupid smirk off his face!
"He means that we're busy, so you can get that lazy ass of yours and go somewhere else!" I yelled to his face. He looked at me with a smirk then suddenly changed it to a frown.
"Well then, I guess I should leave since you nagged me to. Alright then, by the way Yoru.."
"What?"
"I guess you got the note from Sora then?" Ikuto asked him.
"..." Eh? Why isn't Yoru answering him? And who's Sora?
"I see. Well then bye Amu-koi." Ikuto looked down then suddenly disappeared in a cloud of smoke leaving me and Yoru.
"Well that was weird" I said to myself. "Who's Sora, Yoru?" Yoru didn't reply and instead looked down making his bangs cover his eyes. "Yoru?"
"..." I sighed then went back to the tree where Saaya...used to be? I looked all around the tree and did a quick check around the perimeter of the forest. Where is she?
"Yoru! Saaya's gone!" I cried. Yoru immediately jerked his head up, "What?"
"It's true! I searched the whole perimeter of the forest!" I yelled. Yoru looked side to side frantically. "Shit" he whispered.
Yoru POV
Where's Saaya! She was just leaning against the tree a few minutes ago! Wait a second. Before Ikuto left he looked down at the tree where Saaya was! "Amu I think I know where Saaya is." I told Amu.
"What? Where is she then?" Amu asked in a shaky voice. I grimaced, "Ikuto took her"
"How did you know?" Amu questioned.
"Remember before Ikuto left, he looked down at the ground then left?"
"Ya? I thought he was trying to look at my panties!" She yelled.
I sweat dropped," Actully he was looking at the person behind you and who do you think that is?"
Amu paused now understanding," Saaya."
"Now that you understand, we have to meet up with the rest of the group then find them." I said.
She nodded then led the way back to the van where everyone was waiting.
Rima POV
'Where the hell are Amu and Yoru!' I thought. Then a few metres away I saw two people running in the clearing. "There they are!" Kukai exclaimed. Finally Amu and Yoru came. Wait. Where's Saaya? "Where's Saaya?" Kukai asked.
I saw Yoru and Amu look at each other then back to Kukai. "Well.." Amu started.
"We lost her." Yoru finished. My eyes widened. How could you lose a dead person!
"How?" I shrieked.
"Long story short we met up with the "Black Cat of Misfortune" and he took her without us knowing." Yoru said.
"Wait, why would the "Black Cat of Misfortune" want Saaya?" Kukai asked.
"Perhaps he was guarding her?" Nagi suggested.
"Well if he was, then how could Amu have killed her easily without him knowing?" I added.
"Too not blow his cover?" Kukai asked.
"No, that's too extreme if you endanger your mission just to keep you identity sealed." Amu said.
"Amu's right. Maybe the "Black Cat of Misfortune" isn't as good as we thought he was." I said.
"Or maybe someone helped you get him out of the way?" A voice said above us.
We all looked up at the tree and saw a girl with violet eyes and long blonde hair in pigtails sitting on one of its strong branches. She jumped off and walked towards us.
"UTAU!" Amu squealed and ran towards said girl to give big bear hug.
"Hey, guys. It's good to see you again." Utau said and smiled to the guys. Then looked at me,"How's it going barbie doll?"
My face turned red with anger," What did you say you stupid brother-complexed blonde!"
Utau let go of Amu and glared at me. You could see a spark between us. "I said how's it going barbie doll. And you're blonde too!"
I stuck my tongue at her," At least I didn't become fat from eating too much ramen!"
Utau blushed from embarrassment," Why you..." It was about to turn into a fist fight until Kukai stopped us.
"Alright chill you guys. Now's not the time to fight. Right now we have to get Saaya and report to Mr. Hoshina"
"Wow since when did you get all serious?" Utau joked.
Kukai scratched behind his head and laughed quietly," Sometimes I have to act like that for missions"
"So what's the plan?" Yoru asked.
Once again everyone looked at me. I gave a calculated look then snapped." I got it! Alright here's the plan." I took a stick and started drawing the plans in the dirt. "I'm guessing Ikuto is still in the mansion because the Saaya hologram is still there and that's the only to not raise any commotion and cause chaos. When I was undercover as a noble I noted how many guards were there. There are 2 beside each window so there are 20 guards,at least 9 patrolling the room as butlers, and there are 3 guarding Saaya. There are 32 guards in all.
It's a simple hit-and-run tactic really. We try to knock at least half of the guards out before anyone notices. Kukai, I want you to dress as butler and take down all 9 so me and Amu won't have to get them. Amu, you and me will get the guards at the window. Utau, you'll be outside with a sniper watching for my cue to get all 3 men guarding Saaya. When all of them are knocked out, Yoru will have to turn out the lights so that Nagi can grab Saaya and go. If anything goes wrong when killing a guard use your stun grenade, try not to use the smoke bomb at all. It will cause a big scene. If the "Black Cat of Misfortune" has any back up coming feel free to knock em' dead..pun not intended. Does everyone understand?" Everyone nodded their heads. "Good then let's go."
Normal POV
The Dark Wonderland group succeeded in taking out all the guards and Ikuto's back up. Utau was still waiting in a tree waiting for her next cue to kill someone. Now the only problem was taking care of Ikuto himself.
"So this is the great Dark Wonderland assassin group that I've heard so much about?" Ikuto chuckled," Hmm, let's see what Easter's got, a strawberry, a doll, a cross dresser, a soccer freak, and..." Ikuto turned to Yoru and smirked. "A traitor" The group looked at Ikuto with questioning eyes. "Oh? Your never told them Yoru? Well then I-" Ikuto was cut off when Rima lifted up her hand. Ikuto gave her a questioning look until he felt a bullet cutting through the air. He quickly dodged it and looked at the gunner in the tree. Sapphire met Violet.
"Utau? Haha this days keeps getting better and better. What are you doing here?" Ikuto asked.
"Please don't address me so formally you..."Black Cat of Misfortune"! You have no right to even stand before me!" Utau yelled, her eyes turning watery.
"So you're using my alias now huh? Well Utau if I remember correctly you're the one who always wanted to cling on me yelling "Ikuto~" or "Onii-chan!" when we were younger." Ikuto smirked.
"Utau what is he talking about?" Amu said confused on how her enemy knows her bestfriend so well.
"Really Utau? You're own best friend doesn't even that I'm your family?" Ikuto asked faking amazement.
Utau looked down, her bangs covering her eyes," You were no longer part of my family when you left me and Mom."
Amu suddenly felt outraged when Utau said that they were family until he left them. She pointed a M82A1 at Ikuto then said sternly," Leave now Ikuto. I don't feel like fighting right now so go before this turns messy."
"Alright, alright, I'll leave but before I go I should tell you..." Ikuto trailed off. Amu lifted an eyebrow. "I think those kitty panties look adorable on you" he said happily then disappeared out into the forest. Amu was thinking about what he just said, processing it until it finally reached her head. She blushed really red (almost like a strawberry) and screamed," PERVERT!" to no one in particular.
"So shall we go report to ?" Kukai asked.
"Ya I think we should, he's probably wondering what's taking us so long." Nagi said.
"Then let's go!" Yoru cheered.
It was a long and very quiet drive to Easter Co., no one wanted to talk so Kukai tried to start a conservation."So Utau what have you been doing for the last 3 years?" he asked. Utau looked at Kukai then at the window. "When said I could retire I decided to become famous and travel the world on tours. As you know I am a superstar called Utau Hoshina, I took the last name from the boss. On my travels, I met two famous celebrity twins, Iru and Eru or better known as Sepharic and Lunatic charm. My manager decided to have me team up with them.
We traveled everywhere, from South Korea all the way to Europe. I decided to come back 'cause I missed you guys. Eru and Iru are continuing the tour with Yukari while I'm on leave. And that's pretty much it." Utau finished.
"OoOohhhh" Everyone said excluding Utau. By the time she finished her story they arrived at the Easter Building. An elevator took them to a dark corrider with a black door at the end. Amu knocked on the door 3 times before a voice said,"Enter." As they walked inside the chair swivelled forward. "Ah! Dark Wonderland, I was wondering where you were, and...oh? What's this? Ex-Assassin Utau! What are you doing here?" Mr. Hoshina asked suprised that one of his best assassins was standing right before him.
"Well ," Utau started," I've been traveling the world for 3 years as a superstar, partying with actors and dodging paparazzi. It's been like a dream come true to me but right now I feel like staying home with my friends and going on suspenseful missions like ole times instead."
Mr. Hoshina nodded and cracked a rare smile that no one ever sees," I see well Ex-Assassin Black Rabbit, it's good to have you back on the team. Now for the rest of you, what happened? Why did the mission take so long?" Everyone looked down and backed away. Amu decided to step forward and explain.
"The mission went smoothly and we would have came back early if it weren't for this one problem."
"Oh? And what was that "one problem" hmm?" questioned. Amu shifted her weight from her right leg to her left.
"Well the problem was...the Black Cat of Misfortune was there."
"And you took care of him, I suppose?" said starting to get angry.
Yoru decided to speak up,"It's not her fault, sir, it was mine. I allowed him to distract me long enough so that he could bring Saaya back." Yoru looked down ashamed.
"I see. Let me guess the rest of the story is that you had to take care of all the guards again in the mansion and Ikuto before you could come back?" He asked sighing. No one moved. "Alright, I'll let it pass this time but don't let it happen again, understand?"
"Yes sir!" Everyone stood up straight and did a mock salute.
"Good, now GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!" And with that the whole group walked out.
