Yummixyumi: Okay here's the second chapter I promise because of having 8 reviews. Not sure if I'm going to add another chapter or not. Well hope you enjoy it.

Aimlessly searching around, Ikuto ended up at the park.

Huh? Everyone is unconscious. Wait. There's a yellow blob hovering over the lake. Could that be where Amu is? Ikuto thought to himself as he ran through the park while managing to avoid stepping on the people lying on the ground. As soon as he reached the edge of the lake, he notices that the yellow object was already in the water and heading a certain direction.

I hope this is the right spot. Afterwards, he plunged into the lake without a second thought. Under the water, he spotted a flash of pink and tried with all his might to get there as fast as he could. The closer he got, the clearer the figure. The pink that he saw was actually Amu's hair. Her eyes were closed and her face completely drained of all color. A tiny yellow blob (from what Ikuto could make out) was floating around her.

I can almost reach her, just a little more. I need to hurry. A blinding flash of light surrounded Amu. Ikuto squint his eyes as he reached out his hand to grab a hold of her. However, he grasps hold of nothing. Again and again, he kept trying to reach her, failing at every attempt. Finally, the light faded away. Ikuto quickly scanned the area, helplessly trying to catch sight of her. The light was gone and with it went Amu and her charas. Not capable of holding his breath for any longer, Ikuto swam up for air. After rising to inhale a huge breath of air, he was greeted by the sight of the guardians peering over the edge of the lake.

"Tsukiyomi Ikuto! What are you doing here?" Tadase yelled out. Ikuto slowly swam to shore. He pulled himself out of the water as Yoru came rushing at him.

"I thought you weren't going to bother coming out here," said Yoru. Ignoring this comment, Ikuto, soaking wet with his clothes sticking on to him, approached the guardians.

"She's gone," Ikuto whispered weakly.

"What do you mean by gone? Amu?" Nagihiko asked.

"Yes, she disappeared, without a trace. She was just under the water one moment, and then suddenly she vanished," replied Ikuto.

"If we spread out now, we can still find her before something worse happens. I'm going in!" announced Tadase.

"Ha. She's not going to be found. I was in the water a while ago. Some yellow thing, maybe a bug, was floating around her. She was so pale. Then this light blinded me, and the next thing I knew, she was gone. That strange light took her," replied Ikuto.

"Maybe she got out. Why would a light take her? Maybe you saw wrong. She can still be around," suggested Yaya.

"Alright, Rima, you go around and ask those that are starting to wake up if they see her or know anything. Tadase and I will go into the lake to look for her. Yaya will stay up her and search the area for any sign of her. As for you, Ikuto, you're going to show us where you supposedly saw her along with Yoru," stated Nagihiko. Everyone transformed with their charas except for Rima because it would be strange to others if she was in that form.

"Go! Go! Duckies!" Yaya shouted out as she sent her baby ducks to survey the area. The three guys dove right into the water while Rima hurried to gather information. Hours passed by, and soon the park was empty. The reddish orange sun was setting, leaving little light for the group to see. Unable to identify anything in the dark, the group agreed to go back to the Royal Garden for the chance that Amu would be waiting there.

"Her bag is still here… she couldn't have gone home," Rima pointed out disdainfully the moment she entered the garden. The group went to their table in the center of the garden and sat down to discuss the matter before them.

"Alright, let's see what we've gathered so far," said Tadase.

"We couldn't find anything underwater and even went to the location that Ikuto pointed out," answered Nagihiko.

"My Duckies couldn't find anything except for a few bobby pins and hair clips lying around," replied Yaya.

"I've asked around about what happened. Many of them don't remember a thing. One girl did mention a harsh wind that blew which suddenly stopped, and was follow by a soft melody that came afterward. Those that were near the lake said that the last thing they could remember was swimming in the lake and they're still wondering how they even got out. And my last piece of information is from the class that lost their yellow canary. Apparently, Amu was helping them search for it, but suddenly ran off. The bird was eventually found, but Amu never came back to report in," informed Rima. Everyone sat still, quietly contemplating what they should do. Kusukusu flew over to the doll house and took a seat.

"Eh? That's odd, I'm sure it wasn't like that before, "Kusukusu said. Kusukusu flew over to where the guardians, Ikuto, and other charas were. "Rima, you need to see this. Come on lets go to the doll house."

"This is very serious, Kusukusu. Amu, Miki, Ran, and Su are missing, "replied Rima.

"They aren't the only ones missing, the other egg broke and it's empty," answered Kusukusu.

"WHAT?" the group yelled out. Rushing over to the doll house they went.

"No fair. Pepe never got a chance to meet the new Chara yet, "said Pepe disappointed.

Click. Clack. Click. Clack.

"Ah, what are all of you still doing here? Oh fancy seeing you here, Ikuto."

Somewhere Else

*Cough* *Cough* Ugh. I feel sick. My head hurts. It's so dark in here, where am I anyways? Ah… I was sinking, drowning…. Am I dead? Amu thought to herself.

Creak. The darkness of the dimly lit room was broken by the small line of light that came streaming in. Amu perceived a shadowy figure coming from the direction of the light. Clunk. "~~~ " Clunk. Clunk. "~~ "

The figure seemed to have crouched down, slowly pick itself up and headed closer to where Amu was laying. Thud. Scratch. Scratch. A small yellow glow appeared that seem to spread farther and farther. It was a fire. Clearly now, Amu could see that the creature wasn't some monster. In fact, it was a girl, slightly older than Amu. Her very light caramel hair swayed back and forth as she walked over to Amu. "~~ " was what Amu could make out from the approaching girl. Rising carefully from where she laid, Amu looked up and stared right into the girl's curious golden colored eyes.

"~~ ," said the girl while subtly tilting her head to the side. " "

"I don't understand a single word that you're saying. Do you speak Japanese?" questioned Amu, while trying to create symbols with her hands. The girl looked perplexed. She stood there quietly for a moment.

"~~ ," the girl said. She motioned for Amu to stay, and then she suddenly ran off.
