Chiru: Here's the chapter which explains Amu's fear of the "chimes."

Skittles: Enjoy.

"Amu, stay where I can see you." Her uncle, Takuma, tapped her on her nose. "Okay?"

"Um…" But before she could finish, her uncle was called away from her. "Oji-chan?"

"Tell me your answer when I get back." Takuma walked away with someone by his side.

Amu noticed that he looked frustrated. "Did something go wrong today?..."

"Amu, where were you? Onii-sama was looking for you." A girl around her age appeared. Her soft blonde hair was tied into a loose braid. Her eyes were a rich violet color.

"Utau, be quiet." Her brother stood just a few inches taller than her. He had cobalt blue hair and dark sea blue eyes. There was a tint of pink on his cheeks.

"Mou, Onii-sama. You're not shy around Amu, are you?" Her mouth turned into a smirk.

"I'm leaving." He was about to go away, but his sleeve was caught by something, or someone.

"Onii-san, please don't go." Amu looked at the ground only to have him blush, just a little. "Okay?"

"Fine, whatever. But we have to stay within the castle grounds." His voice was firm and serious.

"Hai!" Utau and Amu giggled at each other, while her brother just smiled gently at their happiness.

Amu started to walk away from them. "So what should we do?" She turned around to face them, only for her to be grabbed by the waist and carried up onto a horse's back. "Eh!?" Amu noticed a dangerous aura of the person behind her.

"Amu!" Utau was about to run to her friend, only for her brother to pull her back.

"Utau, calm down. We have to go get help first." Her brother looked around to see if any adult could help them. He finally spot Takuma. "Takuma-san! Takuma-san! Someone is kidnapping Amu!"

Takuma looked behind him, only to notify everyone around the situation.

The person on the first pulled the reins of their horse, and began to run off. "Don't move Hime-sama, unless you want to be killed."

Amu hesitated, because she did not want to die. Either way, she started to scream.

Her kidnapper cursed silently to himself. He quickly began to turn his horse toward the castle gates. "If I can't get away with you, then you might as well die in battle."

Amu's eyes widened at his words. What did he mean by that? She slowly fell unconscious, since she fell off the horse outside the castle gates.

"Argh! Get away from her!" His voice made her wake up.

Amu slowly awakened from her fall. She saw soldiers fighting and blood spilling before her eyes. She began to run back to the castle. She moved out of the way of the fallen soldiers, as her tears fell down from her eyes. It was clearly seen on her face that she was afraid.

She soon saw a horse frightened, only to have someone push her out of the way from being stomped. As Amu had her eyes shut, she heard chimes out of nowhere. When she opened her eyes, she saw a young man being stomped to death by the horse as cruel soldiers slashed at his body, mocking it before her eyes.

As she looked at her hands, they were splattered with blood. As the men went away to fight someone else, Amu went closer to the man who saved her, only to realize that it was her father. Her eyes widened with fear. The chimes ringing in her ears. Again and again. The cursed sound that caused her father's death before her eyes...

Takuma soon spotted his niece's shaking figure among all the dead soldiers. As he approached her, her body stopped trembling. "Amu, come here. We have to go back and get you somewhere safe."

"Oji-chan, don't end up like Otou-sama. Don't die and leave me. Don't leave because that sound told you to go!" Her words were shaking with her tears.

"What do you mean?" He saw her point at the body in front of her. His eyes widened. His brother-in-law was killed. "Amu, come here."

Amu got up, only to hear those chimes again. "NO! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" The chimes that were coming from a object became eerie and haunting as if bells of the Death Reaper was coming to reclaim the souls.

"Amu! Amu! Snap out of it!"

Chiru: I like what I did with this chapter. :D

Skittles: ...

Chiru: What?

Skittles: Nothing... So what's up with the chimes?

Chiru: Oh, those... Well, since Amu's father was killed before her eyes, she heard the chimes. So now, she thinks that the sound of the chimes might take away someone she holds dear.

Skittles: Oh...

Chiru: Why do I get the feeling you don't get it?... -.-

Skittles: Yeah... If no one understands, tell us, so we can explain.
