"So...is this thing really going to work?" "It sure will." "I doubt it." "Oh, you're just being negative!" "Yeah, cause I don't think that thing is going to work any better then that flying disk one you guys made." "They worked! Just not together and it didn't help that you kids kept destroying them!" "Hey, I was just going along with my job at that point." "Hmph. So how many times did that Embryo come out?" "Ah, I didn't keep count, cause they were times when I was usually falling from the sky!" "Ah..." "Tell me you wouldn't be concentrating on your falling rather then how many times a glowing egg shows up!" "Ah..." "She's got you there." "Anyway, it will work." Amu sighed, "Yeah, but if my friends have anything to say about it, it wont be working for long." "..." Amu went to leave, but ran into the director.
"Ah, sir?" "She's right, but that is why we have Death Angel, isn't it?" Amu's eyes went wide. "Sir, please, you don't expect me to fight my friends do you! Please say you don't!" "Too bad, for you, Death Angel will fight whom ever I say she will fight, including the guardians that used to give us so much trouble." "No! You can't make me do this!" "Shall I capture the cat again then?" "..." "Hm? You know our arrangement." "Yes, but...I..." "Then you must follow through with it, or Ikuto will no longer be free." Amu hung her head, then remembered what Lulu had said to her.
"Tell me one thing...and I deman the truth. Is Ikuto really free?" "What! You dare question our mas..." "No, not the master, you. I dare to question your word. The master's word is good I already know that, but yours, is nothing but shit!" "You will do well, to shut up and just..." "Is Ikuto free or not!" "Why should I tell you?" "Hm, because if you don't I will not only quit working here, but I will also never come back here, not even to see the master...now who do you think he'll be themost angry with? Me, his favorite person, or you, the reason why I quit." "Ah..." "Tell me now!" "..." "Fine." Amu headed for the elevator. "Where are you going?" "To tell Gozen, that I quit personally...agh!" "You are not to go anywhere near the master!" "Who says? You? Oh, no I will only never go near him when he tells me to never come near him. Not you!" "He is free!" "Completely? You don't make him become Death rebel? You don't have men following him?" "No I..." "Thats a lie, cause just the other day, I noticed several men secretly following after him. so are you going to continue to lie to me? Or are you going to tell me the truth?" "Fine, I have men watching him, but only to enssure that is doing nothing to get back at Easter." "I see." Amu straightened herself up. "What about Death Rebel?" "There were times when I did make him turn into Death Rebel...while you were in Europe..." "Hm...alright, well, I really do have to go up and see him, he's requested it of me as of early this morning, but I was kept somewhat busy down here. Now, if you'll excuse me." "You aren't going to quit, are you?" "Don't know yet, I mean we agreed on complete freedom, but if I am not forced to fight my friends...maybe I might forget that and continue to work here, but that, director is entirely up to you." Amu said smugly and headed up to the master's chambers in the elevator.
"Hey, its me, I need you yo inform Tadase and the rest that Easter is planning on a battle with the new machines. I don't think they'll work, but they might, also...Death Angel...or Death Rebel maybe making an appearene to distract them. Talk to you after work." Amu finished and hung up her cell phone that was not able to be traced and had not been seen by the security cameras. She sighed as she stepped into the room, she didn't mind coming to see the master, but she really wished she had more free time to herself.
**********************************************************
"What did I tell them!" Amu exclaimed as she flopped down onto her couch. "I knew that, that machine wouldn't work...well, course I did kind of warn the guys about it, so I guess thats my fault...not that I care wheter their stupid thing worked or not." She said and kicked off her shoes. "I'm just glad we didn't have to fight them...that would have been hard to explain...oh!" "You know, you're really fast when you want to be." "Oh, sorry, thought I 'cat' was faster then a girl...HEY!" Amu was flipped over and set lightly on the carpet. "What?" "Agh! Don't do that...ah..." "Why?" "Cause...don't do that either!" "Aww, but you like it, don't you?" "Shut up...mmm!" "You seem to like that too...whoa." "Pervert! Hey! Let go...uh...I don't think this is a good position to be in right now..." "Why not?" "Ah...its very...unexplainable..." "Why would you need to explain? To who?" "Whoever was to walk through the door...AH!" "What?" Amu lightly pushed Ikuto over, and now hovered over him. "Nothing." "Hm...you know I kind of like this position...OW!" "Pervert!" "Hm...huh? Someone's here." "Huh?" Amu saw the jacket on the arm of the kitchen chair and smiled, then thought of something.
"Ah...hold on a moment." "Why?" "Cause I have to go and change..." "Can't I come?" "No." "Hm...I remember when we were in the same room and you were changing...OW!" "PERVERT! Don't remember that!" "Why not?" "Cause I said so..." "Amu?" Amu straightened herself up and went down the hall. "Huh?" Ikuto sat on the couch wondering what the girl was doing.
"You're back early!" "I thought I'd surprise you...oh, but what happened to your face?" "Hm? Oh, Easter had me go out again." "Ha, I should have brought you back to Paris with me..." "It's alright..." "Hm, did everything work out?" "Hm? Oh, yes...um...are you hungry?" "Sure, want some help?" "No, it alright, I can handle it." "Alright, if you need help, just ask." "I will, sensei."
"Ah, good you're..." "Here can you take this to the study room for me, please?" "Sure, but..." "Please, I'll be right there." "Alright." So Amu went into the kitchen and Ikuto went into the study carrying the jacket. He was going to just leave the thing on the couch in the room, until he saw his father sitting at the desk. "Ah..." "Hm...looks like she wants us to talk," "Fine then, where shall I begin?" "Lets begin with...why you left in the first place." "Good place to start, alright, but are you prepared for the story?" "Just get on with it." "Sure thing."
Amu smiled to herself as she made up the dinner for the two of them and sighed, "It's about time they spoke, after all this time. I don't really like being the only one to know his reasons for things. So, I'll just leave the dinner here and go out for a bit." She said and covered the dinner, put on her coat and left the apartment, while father and son spoke in the study.
