I DO NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA :D

WHEN DEATH RETURNS:

Chapter 10-Arrival

(Time skip to day of trip-)

(Haruna pov)

I knew many things, this would be a hard mission. Maybe even the hardest we have been on. Besides that we had allot at stake. If we were to return we had promised it would be to finish what had started long ago. Now we were about to leave, we had doubled checked what we all have brought. Though we kind of had to force Yaya to leave the candy behind. I understand her she uses sweets as a way to forget the pain, odd but true. I was nervous about the out come of this mission. I knew we wouldn't be back for a few days, and when we did there was the chance our life would all be changed. Ikuto may or may not have the one he loves back. Yaya may be heart broken even further or not. Everyone could very well be scared for life. We all could lose someone, and then we would all be hurt. I knew Mizuki was worried weather she showed it or not. Emiko kept her calm but I knew she to would be hurt if she lost her friends. This would only be over once we finished or were finished.

(Mizuki pov)

I was nervous and knew the stakes were high. However I was determined this had gone on for way to long. Maybe there is a reason that we had been asked to save Amu. Maybe because it was time to end the kings life. He had destroyed everything we had held dear. That is the one thing we all had in common, even Lulu and Kairi. I had to keep my calm or I would transform. When I transform or lose control I shape shift into a tiger. Its still me but I really want to save that for later, that attack takes more energy out of me. I stood there I knew very well that someone would be returning to the ground by the time the mission was over. I pulled calmness from the earth everything would change for better or worse I couldn't say. One thing is sure blood will be spilled, lives will be changed.

(Emiko pov)

When the others weren't looking I studied them remembering each of them. I found my hand fidgeting with my necklace. I would never let it show that I was worried, in fact i was nervous and worried. But I kept myself in control, being in control is one thing that could prevent death. I stared at the humans they seemed to range in emotions. I had already planned one thing for sure. If it comes to facing the king before the end of the mission I will distract him. He is a false heartless ruler and when the time comes I will not leave till his blood is on my hands. I nodded seeing as everyone was ready.

(Ikuto pov)

The three sisters stood near a wall placing their palms on it. I was confused until a min later the stepped through. Tsukasa instructed us to all do the same, and hesitantly we did. To find ourselves in an alleyway. I was gonna ask if something went wrong when I caught sight of someone passing by, his eyes glowed red. Wait so that was it, no flash portal, or creepy door, or swirling vortex? Everything looked as if we were still on earth! The buildings, clothes, even the people if you ignored the fact their eyes were glowing. I was even more shell shocked when Emiko took us to a hotel and checked in. They clearly could tell we were confused. "Were you expecting something more like hell?" Mizuki asked me. "I really don't know what I was expecting. Just I know it wasn't this." I gestured to the window ahead. "Ikuto don't be silly most of the stuff in the human world came from here." I looked at Haruna raising a brow. "Its true demons who moved to the human world brought customs over to make things easier on them. In the end they made money of it and posed as humans." Everyone Mouthe's hung agape, all except Haruna who was laughing, Mizuki who giggled for the first time since we met her, and Emiko who was smiling slightly. "Well we have to get planning." Mizuki said going back into her bored facade.

(Amo pov)

I was wandering around, Lulu and Kairi said they were busy. So I was left alone it was only then that I felt a chill. This hall...My dream! That's where Ive seen this. I searched for the door, the one that I went through in my dream. I had found it and cautiously I opened it, to my luck the door was unlocked. Cautiously I walked down the stairs. I paused something didn't seem right. The air wasn't cold I ran to the door that held the ice girl in my dream. It was empty I stared puzzled I guess it really was a dream. I was about to turn and leave when I bumped into someone. I slowly raised my eyes to find the demon who Had brought me here. "Amu dear there you are." He pulled me up and into an embrace. Despite his friendly gesture and tone there was something hostile about this man. "Um..." I was at a loss for words. "Amu I hope you're doing well its been a while. Why don't we go to the garden and catch up." He didn't say it as a question more like a command. Nodding still unable to speak I followed him. Once we were there we sat on a bench beneath a big weeping willow. It was beautiful, then again so was he who ever he was. "Maybe its time I properly introduce myself." I stared at him and waited. Something about him made it hard to speak. "My name is Yoru...And I am the king of the demon world. My eyes widened and I was sure they would pop out of my head. "Y-Your the k-king?" I managed to stutter out. He smirked in reply,"Why yes, yes I am. You my dear belong to me." I felt my eyes droop and found my self falling. However my eyes felt to heavy as did my body to care.

(Yoru pov)

I placed Amu on my bed in my room. I would not let her go so easily, now to deal with those brats. I stared at my soon to be brides face, once were married I will be rightfully king. I put my pointer finger to my chin. Now to deal with those traitors, things would have worked but they forgot one big detail. They forgot I held the first kings ring. The ring glows when it senses blood. The blood of the first kings this just helped me in my plans. I had already planned to obtain Amu long ago. Imagine the shock I had when one day the ring began to glow. At first I was confused till I allowed the ring to guide me. Only to be led to the training room, to see Amu call on her weapon. The reapers rod materialized, another advantage came from this. The fact Kairi and Lulu had tried to hide it showed were their loyalty is. To confirm my suspicions I went to check on Airi only to find she had been moved, and to bump into Amu. I would wait, wait till the time was right before I dealt with them. I would finish them who stand in my way. Then I shall become king rightfully through marriage. I took one last glimpse at Amu. I felt my anger grow shaking it of and composing myself I left, ordering guards to stand watch. With that I locked the door and walked away smirking.

(Amu pov) -Dream-

I was running from someone, I didn't know who but I knew something bad would happen if I stopped. I kept going running my legs growing tired with each step, still I pushed on. I stopped when I was at a dead end. I heard the sounds of foot steps growing near. I ran to the door closest to me. Closing it I turned to be faced with a girl. She looked familiar, she did not speak as she stared at me. We heard the sound of foot steps almost out side the door. The girl grabbed me and pushed me in a wardrobe before I could protest the door opened. I stared through the crack, I couldn't see who was in the room besides the girl. But then I did see something, I held back my scream as a hand was plunged through the girls chest. I shut my eyes tight trying to wake myself up. Only when I opened my eyes I wasn't awake. And I was staring at the back of someone. I held my breath When the person had left I stepped out. Falling to my knees, I was surrounded by blood.

-End of dream-
