Wow this is moving fast…. Anyways..
Yoru: why haven't you told anyone who Easter has as a new agent?
Miko: they're going to find out this chapter Yoru… relax… or else no cat nip or Miki.
Miki: Hey! Don't drag me into this.
Miko: why not.. I know you like Yoru. Just like Amu likes Ikuto.
Amu: why are you dragging me into all of this?
Ikuto: Because perverted kid… everyone knows how you feel about me.
Amu: no they don't!
Everyone: yes we do.
Amu:……………………
Miko: While Amu's facing the music I need someone to do the disclaimer.
Su: Miko in training does not own any characters from Shugo chara or songs that may appear in this story, she does own the mystery man and Erica and any chara's that appear as well ~desu.
Miko: thank you Su. Now on with the story!
Chapter 4: The Encounter.
Amu was looking at the screen in shock as the song ended. 'It's that guy that I saw with Ikuto the other night! Could he be working with Easter?' she thought to herself.
Erica continued to stare at the screen in a daze. That was until Nala scratched her on her head bringing her back to reality just as the host came back on.
"There you go folks that was…" a beeping came across the screen just at that moment before a news anchor woman appeared on the screen.
"This just in, there is a high speed chase in progress on route 65. We ask all drivers to avoid this road until the speeder is caught. This message will be repeated on all radio stations. Now back to the scheduled programming."
The screen cut back to the talk show host, "That's all the time we have. Good night everyone." And it cut to commercial.
'That didn't tell me anything!' Amu and Erica thought at the same time. Turning away from the TV they continued home.
"I wonder who the singer was, he sounded familiar." Erica thought out loud to herself more then to anyone around her.
But Amu heard her, "He looked familiar. Erica-chan, we need to stay away from him. He could be working for Easter." Amu said her voice stern yet slightly scared at the same time.
"How would you know if he worked for Easter or not. He could be working for a different company! Don't just assume things Amu-chan." Erica said slightly defensive she didn't know why though.
"I saw him with Ikuto the other night! And Ikuto works for Easter." Amu's voice got quiet at the end. Her face dropped slightly without her realizing it.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you." Erica said looking down at the ground as they continued in silence.
The chara's hated seeing the girls like this so they tried cheering them up.
"Don't worry Amu-chan." Ran said floating next to her face.
"Yeah, we'll stop Easter." Miki said with a smile.
"It's not Easter that has me worried." Amu said quietly.
"Then what is it Amu-chan ~desu." Su asked all the chara's having a confused look on her face.
That is until Dia figured it out. "I see, don't worry Amu-chan. You will Shine the light for everyone to see." Dia said smiling.
Amu thought about her words and slowly smiled, "Thanks you guys."
Nala was all alone trying to think of a way to cheer her up. "Don't worry Erica-chan. We don't know if he's working for Easter or not." That didn't seem to work just make her sad face darken.
Then a voice came from her bag. "Don't worry Erica-chan. I'm sure he isn't working for them. Even if he is there has to be a reason behind it." Amy said. She popped her body out of the hole in Erica's bag and floated up to Erica calmly while the others just stood there in shock. "I'm sure he's just one of Ikuto's Friends from school. It isn't good to assume someone is bad just by the company they keep."
"That's true." Erica said before realizing who she was talking to. "Amy! What are you doing out of your egg?!" Erica nearly shouted making people look at her weird.
"It isn't nice to keep secrets from friends Erica-chan." Amy said waving a finger at her like she knew it all along.
"As right as you may be, you just now figured that out. So don't act like I'm the one to blame when you went along with the plan in the first place." Erica scolded her chara.
"You have a second Chara Erica-chan?" Amu asked looking at her in shock.
"Uh- yeah. See I didn't tell you about her because I didn't want Ikuto to take her when she was still an egg. I'm sorry I kept her a secret." Erica said bowing apologetically.
"It's okay Erica-chan. I understand why you did it. I didn't tell anyone about Dia at first either." Amu said sadly.
"Anyways now that I know about Amy there isn't any reason to hide any secrets. Right?" Amu said smiling at her.
Erica looked nervously at her. "R-right."
"Erica-chan? What's the matter?" Amu asked looking her in the eyes as if trying to discover anything that she was hiding behind them.
"I didn't know you swung that way Perverted kid." Ikuto said from the roof top.
"Ikuto! What are you doing here?" Amu yelled at him from the ground.
He smirked at her before jumping down to the ground and facing them. "Nothing, just came for the egg." Ikuto said before a figure came up behind them and reached into Erica's bag trying to reach something.
"Hey! Hands Off!" Erica said before spinning around holding her bag protectively. Standing before her was a Long dark purple haired teen in a black hoodie with a red hood and red front pocket looking down at her with sea blue eyes that looked sad when you gazed deeply into them. Erica couldn't move it was as if he had frozen her in her place. He was hypnotizing, that is until he held up something in front of her that broke that concentration and made her eyes dilate. Her egg. "My…. Egg."
"So it is, or is it the embryo?" the teen asked in his silky deep voice that made her back tingle. 'what is this I'm feeling? It's as if… as if…' her thought were cut off by Ikuto taking the egg from the boy.
"Later, Amu." He jumped up on to the roof and started jumping away while the teen walked over to his blue 2009 Alfa Romeo Brera.
"Erica-chan! Character change!" a pair of light purple ears popped on top of her head and a bell rang around her neck as a puffy purple tail popped out just where her tail bone was.
"What just happened?" Erica asked confused.
"Amu- chan." Ran said getting ready.
"Right! My heart Unlock! Amulet Heart!" With that Amu took after Ikuto.
Erica looked over at the teen as he got in his car. And drove away before racing after the cat thief herself.
"Ikuto give back that egg! It isn't the embryo!" Amu yelled after him.
He just smirked back at her holding the Egg in his grip making sure not to crush it.
Amu and Erica were gaining on him and Erica just saw out of the corner of her eye the blue Alfa Romeo Brera going in the same direction they were. She then turned her attention back to Ikuto who was now ducking into an ally way trying to lose them.
It didn't work. Erica was passing Amu in speed in hopes of getting her egg back from the other cat. Finally having had enough she leapt up into the air and landed on his head making him fall forwards and drop the egg which went sailing into the air as he righted himself and tried to get it back.
Before he could get it Amu caught it much to her and Erica's relief, as well as Ikuto who didn't show it. Calmly Erica walked over to Amu but just as she got close, the blue Brera caught her eye but this time it was screeching to a halt as the rear wheels lift a few inches of the ground and land back on its tires.
Erica felt as though her heart stopped and, fearing the worst, headed down to the car as quickly as she could; which wasn't hard seeing as she was still transformed.
Looking inside the driver side window she saw him with his hands out straight in front of him holding the steering wheel and shaking worse than a leaf in a thunderstorm. His eyes were dilated and his face was so pail he looked was as if he had seen a ghost and had a panic attack.
Opening the door might've been a dumb move, seeing as it could've been a ruse to attack her, but she didn't care at the moment and opened the door, fearing for his well being more then her own.
Once the door was open she could see that the car's built in bluetooth connection was connected to his phone and it was still on. A British voice came over the receiver sounding slightly panicked. "Ricky? Ricky are you there? I said there's been an accident. Your father he… he… he didn't make it…"
As the last word from the receiver was said, Ricky fell out of the car and onto the pavement holding his knees in a fetal position. It was too much to handle, and he was having a mental break down.
'Ricky.' Erica thought as she knelt down next to him while the bluetooth disconnected the call. The name "Uncle Hammond" flashed on the car's D.I.C. before going blank. (A/N: D.I.C. stands for Driver Information Center and is usually a small screen in the middle of the dashboard. Bluetooth may also sound funny but some newer cars have it built in. It connects the car to your cell phone, allowing you to make and receive calls without touching your cell phone.)
Dun dun dun! Yes this one is short but more in the next one I hope…
Ikuto: when do we find out what happens next?
Miko: you'll just have to wait and see Ikuto.

Miko: *nods* yup and he wanted to know if you wanted to be the one with him when he did so.
Utau: YES! *Stars in eyes as she speaks* OH Ikuto!!! *chases after him*
Ikuto: *panicked look* Amu help me!
Amu: um……. No.
Ikuto: Why not?! *hiding behind her as well as he can.
Amu: because of what you tried to do.
Ikuto: Amu it's not what you think. *whispers in her ear*
Amu: *BLUSH* oh my god. ….. really?
Ikuto: Yes.
Amu: *goes off on him inside glass box that had fallen from out of nowhere around them.*
