Recap!

Folding the letter I shoved it in my bag and jogged to this 'Tea House' they spoke of.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Alice POV

Ok, I think I'm lost. But how could I get lost? That Tea House is huge! I've seen it before; so why is this so much trouble! WAHH!

I froze. I heard it's better to stay in one spot when you are lost. Well let us try this theory out! Walking up to the nearest tree, I pulled myself up to a branch. Those Guardians can wait. Plus if I go there half a sleep I'm not going to listen anyway. Yawning I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

My eyes shot open when I heard a scream. It was dark, it looked like around 6. Not to bad, my Mom wouldn't have a reson to yell. Jumping out of my tree, I landed gracefully on my feet, and headed to were the scream was. I probably wouldn't be much help if it's a murderer/Rapist, but I think a purse snatcher is something I can take.

Turning right in to a dark alley I saw a bunch of drunk teens crowding around a helpless middle school girl. I think she's only a year ahead of me. So, are they trying to 'take her back to their house', or do they have other goals...

"Hey, you said you wouldn't break up with me, girl." lectured a the teen in the middle. He kind of looked like a punk. The kind you wouldn't bring home to your parents.

"I couldn't take it anymore! I have rights! You make me feel like trash! I'm a person, and should be treated like one!" she bravely exclaimed in his face. That looked like it aggravated him. He was walking forward to slap her, when one of his cronies turned and saw me.

Son of a Batch of Cookies.

"Uh, Boss, we have a witness." The 'Boss' whipped around, and gave me a smirk. Shivers ran up my spine. Not good.
"Well aren't you a cute one. I think you would make a very interesting new toy. Come closer." Then he give me his creepy, 'you can't run even if you try' smirk. Great.

"No" I said, sounding a lot more determined then I was feeling. This guy was a class A creep.
"No? Well you can't run, so you have no choice. Come here."
"N-no." I stuttered. He was really frightening me. I don't know what to do. I felt so helpless.

That's when my bag started to shake. Instantly my egg was in front of me hovering off the ground. Slowly it hatched, revealing a chibi ninja.
It had short black hair that was pulled up in a high ponytail, along with she cute cat ears and a tail. It was wearing a long scarf that cover her bottom half of her face. It floated carelessly behind her. She had a cute one piece dress that went to her knees and had socks that went above her knee. Lastly she has cute little boots that went to above her ankle. A strange ninja chibi, but she was very cute. Her wide red eyes boar in to me.

"Alice, you have no reason to be afraid, you must be stronger then your opponent in order to win."
"But how? I'm not strong, and I'm afraid. I feel helpless."
"You are not, believe in your own power to fight. From a girl who can't stand up for herself to a girl who can protect others!"

"Defend, protect, ATTACK~!"

Suddenly, I had lost all control of my body. It was moving all on it's own, and it was really scary.

"You think I would listen to you! Someone who preys on young girls like they are toys. When you break one you move on to the next one. You are disgusting." My mouth said. What was going on!?

"How dare you talk back to me! That is unforgivable! Men get her!" The bossy yelled.

So now, I had a bunch of idiotic teens coming at me. What am I going to do!? In a heartbeat, I had a kendo stick in my hand , and at my waist was a Kunai knife pouch. I swung the stick with scary accuracy, and hit one in a pressure point. Since when could I do THAT?

Slowly the others backed up. One helped up his now unconscious friend, and stared at me with wide eyes. Throwing my stick, it flew within inches of the boss's face and hit the wall behind him. Carefully the group backed away from me, like I was the plague. Then they ran passed me in to the street. Leaving the girl to stare at me with wide eyes.
I moved forward, and knelt in front of her, cause she on the ground, and looked at her. She had tears running down her face, and she looked like she had just saw a ghost. Was it that... I was that, ghost?

"Are you ok" I said slowly so I didn't scare her.

"Yes" she whispered so low I almost didn't hear it. I nodded, and held out my hand. She looked at it strangely. "I'm helping you up. Where do you live? I plan to walk you home. There is a small chance they could come back once they thought I was gone." She looked at me with warm eyes, and nodded grabbing my out stretched hand.

"Thank you" She mumbled.
"No problem." I replied.

Amu POV

That Alice girl never showed up. Tadase said she most likey had plans. After all it was really short noicte.
I guess I agreed. But I had more inmportant matters to deal with. Like Ikuto staying at my house. I really don't understand my feeling for him. Him or Tadase, it confuses me to no end. I wish I could understand.
Tadase confessed his love, but I don't know how Ikuto feels about me. He teases me all the time, like I'm a cat toy for him to play with.

"Amu are you ok?" Miki asked me. "Yeah, Amu-chan! You don't have to worry about Alice! I know she's alright!
She's really strong. Plus if she has a egg she will be fine" Ran cheered."Suu thinks Amu-chan is thinking about Tadase and Ikuto-desu." Suu said in a thoughtful voice.

These girls were to smart for there own good. I looked at them and smiled. Who wouldn't? They were so cute, plus they cared about me. "Yeah Suu, I was thinking about Ikuto and Tadase." I replied.

"Don't worry! You will understand your true feelings soon, Amu-chan-Desu." Suu gigged.

I smiled, soon I will understand. But today isn't the day.
