"I hear that you ran into a cat while you were out the other day." Amu nodded, "I did sir, but it wasn't like I meant to, I was just out shopping and I ran into him and..." "You don't need to explain, it was only a harmless meeting at the store, and you're right, while out shopping, one can run into the most unlikely of people." "..." "Now, I didn't call you in here, to reprimand you, but to get your report on last night." "Oh. There was no Embryo found, sir." "I see...you would tell me if you had found it, right?" "Yes sir..." "Remember if you don't, that kitty, will be once again caged like an actual animal." "I know, and no there was no sighting and yes, I would tell you if there had been." "Good, you may go and join the others in the lab." "The lab, sir?" "Yes, we are working on a new way to scan through heart eggs to find the embryo." "Oh..." "Now, go." "Yes sir." Amu left and headed to the lab.

"Agh! I am so damn tired!" Amu said to herself as she walked through her door and locked it. "What the heck do they think they can accomplish with that stupid thing?" She wondered. She'd just come from working in the lab of Easter and had been present when the scientists had unveiled their latest creation.
"A lazer beam that can tell what a heart egg is...yeah right, like the others would ever let that thing work very long..." Amu sighed and went inot her bedroom, where she went to change out of what Easter's master always had her wear to work. "Dang jerk! Why do I have to wear this? It's like he wants me to be a kind of..." "Mother figure?" Asked a voice from behind her.
"Why are you still here and why are you in my bed!" "I slept in too long, then it got cold in the living room, so I came in here." "Argh! Do you know how much trouble I could get in, if anyone were to find out you've been here for this long?" "Hm...alot I wager." "Alot! Heck, they find out and you'll get roped back into their web." "Hm...sounds fun." "Are you being sarcastic or serious?" "Hm...a little of both." Amu sighed, and continued changing in her bathroom.
"So...what exactly is that mark for?" "Hm? Oh, thats where they stuck me with their damn needle." "Needle?" "With the X solution in it." "..." "You didn't know about the X solution?" "Nope, what is it?" "The results of melted down X eggs." "Oh." "They said it was something new and experimental, and that it should work perfectly fine with my body...but it didn't." Amu said lightly, "Not at first that is. I had to learn how to control my transformations." "Transformations?" "Thanks to the solution in my body, I am able to transform my character." "What do you turn into?" "A monster." "Oh?" "Actually, I'm called Death Angel when I transform, but the reason I call that self of me a monster, is because, I have this large weapon, and with one swing, all heart eggs from anywhere within the area are yanked from their person and with another swing, if none are the embryo...I slice them to pieces." "I see." "I hate doing it! I hate it!" Amu said, tears dripping down her cheeks.
Ikuto pulled her into his arms. "It's not like you want to do this though, right?" "Right, but I have to, I signed a 4 year contract that is up in another three months." "I see." He just held her close. He didn't have the heart to tell her that Easter was only partially giving him freedom.
They didn't chase him anymore, which was good, but they still used the violin that he carried to make him become Death Rebel again, whenever they wanted, and they had people watching his every move. He sighed as he held the crying girl, who'd given up her freedom for his, even though Easter followed through with it.
