A/N: I'm gonna start the first chapter with the chapter 2 (you know what I mean: the prologue)

Chapter 1

When Amu came back from school one day, no one at home. She thought that everyone was out because she arrived home late. The lights won't turn on no matter how many times she tried. She ignored the lights and wanted to eat something until she saw someone in the kitchen. It wasn't Midori nor Souko. "Maybe it was just my imagination," Amu thought to herself.

Suddenly, the door opened widely and Ikuto was seen at the door calling Amu. "Amu, there you are. I was looking for you at school but you were not there and here you are, at home," Ikuto said. He grabbed Amu's hand and ran outside the house. "Ikuto? Why are you here and where are the others?" she asked. "Why I'm here is not important. The others were taken to a dark tower-like building. Hurry up, or else they will be killed and the people who took them away will search for us to kill us," he said.

"Kill us? Why?" Amu asked. "I don't know why. Maybe it has something to do with the Virus Spheres. We have to hurry there," Ikuto answered. "Before that, let me go grab my gun. I don't want to leave home without it,' she replied. After Amu grabbed her gun, she didn't have the time to even have a snack. Ikuto took her hand and ran towards the tower.

As they were running, he explained everything to Amu. "You came home late today because you have some extra work, right?" he asked. "Yeah, but they're not extra work, dumbass. They're the club's work. You should've helped me. You're the captain, aren't you? Why not just switch places with me if you're that lazy, you lazy captain," she said. "I don't want to switch places with you. By the way, when you're late, the whole household got taken to that dark tower-like building," Ikuto started.

"Wait a minute. You mean you got taken to that tower too? How did you escape?" Amu interrupted with two questions. "I wasn't finished yet. At least let me finish first," he complained. "Sorry, go on. Continue the story," Amu replied. "Before we got taken away, their leader, turned off the electricity, locked the door, stole the key and threw it away," he continued. "That explains the locked door," Amu interrupted. "Actually, I didn't escape. I was freed to find you," He continued after the interruption.

"How?," Amu asked. "As for that quesion, I really don't know how to answer that. Sorry,"he replied. Amu can't help but smile. (this is one of the rare times she smiles)

They kept running until they encountered some Virus Spheres. Amu stopped for a while to shoot but Ikuto grabbed her arm and kept running. "There is no time to shoot these little creatures. We've got to get there quickly," Ikuto said. "Okay, let's go then," Amu replied.

After a few minutes of running, Amu saw a dark tower behind a forest. She thought that the tower was the building that Ikuto talked about. Ikuto sighed as he saw Amu panting. "Finally, we're here. Amu, hurry up. We need to go through this forest to get there. This forest is quite steep but I think you can manage it," said Ikuto. "Speaking of a steep forest, this is just like our training camp last year when we went to the mountains right? Of course I can handle this," Amu replied confidently hiding the fact that she is going to run out of gas soon. (A/N: During their training camp, Ami made them run in the mountains for 3 hours)

20 minutes later..

"Alright, we've went through the forest," Amu said pretending to be calm. "Don't pretend to be calm, Amu. I noticed that you were super tired while you were running through the forest just now," teased Ikuto.

They tried to open the door to he tower but the door was locked. So, they decided to smash the door instead. (A/N: Amu may be one of the top students, but she can make simple conclusions sometimes). Once the door was destroyed, Amu and Ikuto ran into the tower. "There should be a flight of stairs around here. Our families are at the top of the tower," said Ikuto. "Isn't it better to enter through the top window? Just find a rope somewhere," Amu replied.

"No, that would take longer time. Just hurry up and come on," he said. "Tch, fine," she replied. As soon as they found the stairs, they ran up as fast as they could.
