~At the Palace
Prince Suzuki Seiichiro comes storming out of the courtyard, "That girl…oh! I don't even have words!" he yelled.
King Tsumugu looked panicked, "Leaving so soon?" he asked.
"Good luck marrying her off!" the prince called then left.
Tsumugu sighed, "Amu…" he said and entered the courtyard.
Sitting on the stone fountain was an 18 year old girl with bubblegum pink hair that came to the middle of her back and golden eyes. She wore a dark red tank top with black pants and black flats. Floating above her were her four charas, Ran; the sporty heart one, Miki; the artist spade one, Su; the motherly clover one, and Dia; the brightest diamond one, "Amu!" Tsumugu yelled causing both owner and charas to turn, "Amu, what was wrong with Prince Suzuki Seiichiro?"
"I have a list papa," Amu said in a bored tone.
"He was snobby," Ran said.
"Overly dressed," Su said.
"Had no fashion sense," Miki said.
"And just plain mean," Dia said with her hands on her hips which is saying something because the yellow chara never acted this way.
Tsumugu sighed, "Amu," he said gently, "I know it's going to be tough for you to fall in love-"
Amu stood up and glared, "It's impossible papa!" she yelled, "You see this," Amu said holding the Humpty Lock that was around her neck, "Because of this I can't fall in love and I'm not marrying anyone unless it's for love papa!"
Tsumugu sighed, "Amu," he said and stood up, "You have to understand. You are the sole heir to the Humpty Kingdom, you have to marry."
Amu glared at her father, "I don't want to marry any of those snobby princes!" she yelled.
Tsumugu closed his eyes, "Amu," he finally stated, "If you don't choose a suitor than I will."
"What!" Amu and her charas yelled, "You can't do that."
"I can if it means this Kingdom doesn't fall let the Dumpty Kingdom Amu," Tsumugu said.
Once her father was gone Amu had tears prick her eyes, "Amu-chan," her charas said sadly.
Amu looked at her charas, "Tonight," Amu said softly to her charas, "We're leaving."
Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia went wide eyed, but knew they wouldn't be able to change their owner's mind. Meanwhile, in a hidden room in the Palace Tadase and Kiseki were trying to figure out what to do to quickly find the Diamond in the Ruff, "So how do we find this guy?" Kiseki asked.
"Hmm," Tadase said then smirked, "The Humpty Lock must have some power right? Maybe we can use that to find this Diamond in the Ruff…"
"I like the way you think," Kiseki said.
~That night
Amu sneaked out to the courtyard with a black clock covering her hair and clothes. She had left the Humpty Lock in her room; it would give away too much. Amu reached the wall that kept her trapped in the palace, "Ran," Amu said quietly.
Ran nodded, "Hop, Step, Jump," she said and character changed with her owner.
Amu jumped over the wall and her charas followed knowing that no one in the city knew what her charas looked like. Meanwhile, Tadase had just entered Amu's room and found her missing, "Well, this is bad…" he said.
"No it's not!" Kiseki said, "Look!" he held the Humpty Lock.
Tadase smiled, "And we were never in here…" he said and quickly left.
~The Next Morning
Ikuto and Yoru were on top of a fruit stand, "Okay Yoru," Ikuto said smirking, "Go."
Yoru nodded and floated down and grabbed a watermelon from the stand, "Hey!" the owner yelled, "Give me that!" he took the watermelon from Yoru, but failed to reNekize that Ikuto had skillfully taken another one while his back was turned.
"Way to go Yoru," Ikuto said smirking.
"Nya!" Yoru said.
Ikuto broke the watermelon in half and gave one to Yoru and they ate their breakfast. Meanwhile, Amu had just entered town in her disguise with her charas. She smiled at all the happy children running around and people happily selling their things. Ikuto looked around and watched as Amu bumped into someone, "Oh, sorry," Amu said and suddenly the man burped a fireball.
Amu jumped and backed up slightly causing her head piece to fall down. Ikuto blinked, "Pink hair?" he said quietly, "Now that's a rare sight."
Yoru turned, "She has four charas?" he asked, "Who's the blue one?"
"Um, once again, I'm very sorry," Amu said and slowly moved away from the man she bumped into.
She slowly put her head piece back on and smiled at her charas and continued walking, "She's… so carefree," Ikuto said slightly shocked.
Yoru blinked and looked at his owner who still had a slightly shocked look on his face, "Ikuto?" he said then looked at the girl and smiled.
Amu then saw a little boy trying to reach for an apple, "Oh," Amu said, "You must be hungry."
The boy gave her a sad look, "Aw," her four charas said.
Amu took an apple, "Here you go," she said.
This caused Ikuto sit up in shock, "Is she an idiot?" he asked.
Amu was suddenly grabbed by the owner of the stand and he yelled thief. He raised his sword and Ikuto quickly ran towards her. He quickly grabbed the man's wrist, "Hey, whoa!" he said, "Thank you so much for finding my sister…"
"Sister?" Amu asked softly.
Ikuto looked at Amu, "I've been looking all over for you," he said then quietly added, "Play along."
"This thief is your sister?" the man asked.
"Sadly yes," Ikuto said trying his best not to smirk and put on a great performance, "She's a little crazy."
Amu glared at Ikuto, "She said she knew the king," the man said.
"She thinks my chara's the king," Ikuto said gesturing to Yoru.
Amu then realized what he was doing, "Oh, humble king!" Amu said bowing to Yoru, "How may I serve you."
Ikuto smirked lightly; this girl was good, "Now I'm terribly sorry for what happened," he said then picked Amu up by the shoulders, "Come on sis, time to go see the doctor."
A camel was suddenly in front of them causing Ikuto stop. Amu smirked lightly, "Why hello doctor," she said dumbly, "How are you?"
Ikuto held back a laugh, but a smirk still appeared on his face, "No, no not that one," he said then added softly, "You're good at this."
"Hey!" someone called making them freeze, "That's the chara that stole my watermelon!"
"Run," Ikuto said simply and grabbed Amu's hand and ran.
As the sun set Amu and Ikuto were walking back to Ikuto and Yoru's home laughing, "That was fun!" Amu yelled laughing.
Ikuto smirked, "Where'd you learn to act like that?" he asked.
Amu smirked, "Miki here represents my artist potential," she said.
"So your name's Miki?" Yoru asked.
"Go away cat," Miki snapped.
Yoru backed away, "Sorry~ nya," he said.
"Yoru," Ikuto stated as they came to a big gap between two buildings.
"Right~ nya!" Yoru said and character changed with Ikuto.
"Aw, cute," Amu said laughing.
Ikuto just smirked and jump to the other building and his cat ears and tail disappeared, "Hold on a minute," Ikuto said and reached for a long piece of wood that could reach the other building.
But before he could though, Amu jumped onto the other building using her character changing with Ran. Ikuto just blinked. Amu smirked, "Ran would be my sporty chara," she said gesturing to her pink chara.
Ikuto and Yoru's mouth now dropped and Amu smirked, "Close your mouth," she said closing the blue haired teen's mouth, "You'll catch flies."
Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia chuckled and Yoru closed his own mouth. Ikuto smirked now, "Someone's a fast learner, huh Strawberry?" he said.
"Strawberry?" Amu asked.
Ikuto removed her head piece, "Pink hair," he stated, "Very rare I might add."
Amu blushed lightly and put her headpiece back on, "Fine," she said then smirked, "But I get to call you Cat boy, unless you want to tell me your name?"
Ikuto smirked and the seven of them entered the abandoned building, "Now, don't get ahead of yourself Strawberry," he said, "I don't even know your name so why would I give you mine?"
"Fair, fair," Amu said coolly, "But since we're on names…you know two of my chara's names, but I don't know yours'."
Ikuto smirked and laughed, "Yoru," he stated, "And what about your other two charas?"
Amu smirked, "Su and Dia," she said, "Su represents my motherly side and Dia is my inner shine."
Ikuto smirked, "Yoru represents my will to be as free as a cat," he said, "And sneaky too."
Amu laughed, "So what are you doing out in the market place?" Ikuto asked, "It seemed as if you've never been before and by seemed I mean it did."
Amu glared and sighed, "My papa is forcing me to marry," she said sadly.
Ikuto was shocked, "Why?" he asked.
"Something out me being provided for and him not being around forever," Amu said bored, "But none of the men papa find match up with my charas. They're all snobby and mean."
Ikuto blinked, "Why do you do that?" he asked.
"What?" Amu asked.
"You try and act all cool and sassy when you're really not," Ikuto stated
Amu went wide eyed and her chara's mouths dropped. Amu sat up, "You can see through that?" she asked.
"Yeah, can't everyone else?" Ikuto asked.
Amu shook her head, "No, no one," she said, "Not even papa."
Ikuto was shocked then smirked, "Think I found out where your acting skill came from," he stated.
Amu smiled, "So are you parents forcing you to marry?" she asked.
Ikuto looked away and Yoru winced, "U-uh," Yoru said.
"I never knew my parents," Ikuto stated sadly, "I was raised by a woman who died when I was two years old. I only have one thing that I've had my entire life. I like to think that it's something my parents gave to me."
"Oh…" Amu said, "I-I'm sorry."
"It's fine," Ikuto stated, "But as for the marrying thing. I honestly think no one will want to marry a Street rat. So I don't really get my hopes up."
"Don't say that~ desu!" Su said, "You're the perfect boy for someone!"
Ikuto looked at the green chara, "Yeah!" Ran said, "I mean you're better than any of the men Amu's papa has tried to force on her."
"Yeah," Miki said, "You're kind, helpful, gentle, and playful!"
Dia just nodded. Amu smiled at Ikuto, "They're right Cat boy," she said, "I'm sure you'll find someone easily.
Ikuto smirked, "Careful Strawberry," he said, "I think you're falling for me."
Amu smirked back, "I don't see anything wrong with that…" she said moving closer to Ikuto.
Ikuto's smirk turned into a smile and he and Amu leaned into each other. Just before their lips were about to touch, "Found you!" Nagihiko's voice rang out causing them to pull away and turn to the entrance.
"They're after me!" Ikuto and Amu yelled, "There after you?"
"That's creepy," Yoru said, "But RUN!"
The charas had flown away, "Guys!" Amu yelled, "Oh dang it."
Ikuto jumped on the edge of the hole and said quickly holding out his hand, "Do you trust me?"
Amu turned to Ikuto in shock, "This no time to be in shock Strawberry!" he yelled in a rush, "Do you trust me?"
"Y-yes," Amu stuttered and grabbed Ikuto's hand.
"Jump!" he yelled and jumped out of the building.
Amu yelled as they fell out of the two story building. Ikuto held her bridal style and landed on the ground, "Run," Ikuto said as he set Amu down.
They didn't get far because Yuu was in front of them, "We just keep running into each other don't we Street rat?" he said smirking.
"Leave them alone!" five little voices yelled and grabbed a hold of some part of Yuu face.
Ikuto grabbed Amu's hand and tried to run again, but he was grabbed by Nagihiko and Kairi and Yuu had thrown the five charas into a vase. Amu was mad now. She ran at Yuu, but he just laughed, "Oh look, a Street mouse," he said and threw Amu to the ground.
"Strawberry!" Ikuto yelled and struggled to get free.
Amu was boiling mad now, "Let him go!" Amu yelled and removed her headpiece, "By order of Princess Amu!"
The guards froze, "Princess Amu!" the yelled in shock and bowed and forced Ikuto to bow.
"Princess?" Ikuto said shocked.
"Princess!" Yoru yelled and turned to the four charas in the vase with him.
The charas smiled guiltily; "Yeah…" they said and flew out of the vase and by Amu's side.
"Princess, what are you doing outside the palace walls?" Yuu asked still shocked.
"It doesn't matter!" Amu yelled, "Now let him go!"
"I'm sorry Princess," Yuu said, "But our orders came from Tadase; you'll have to take it up with him."
Amu gave them a hard glare with her arms crossed, "Oh, believe me I will," she said dangerously.
~Later
Tadase and Kiseki are exiting their secret room, "Tadase!" Amu yelled.
Tadase and Kiseki go wide eyed. They quickly close the door making it a wall again. Amu stomps in with her charas floating above her with a look that could kill you before you even turned around to see who called you, "The guards arrested a boy in the market place today," Amu said, "Under your orders!"
"The boy was a criminal," Tadase stated simply.
"And what in blazes was his crime!" Miki yelled.
"Why, kidnapping the princess of course," Kiseki said thinking quickly.
Kiseki was now in a red robe like Tadase and his crown was gone, "He didn't kidnap us!" Ran yelled.
"We ran away!" Dia yelled.
"Oh," Tadase said she's gotten close to the boy…need to get her off my back, "Oh dear, I'm terribly sorry princess. If only I'd known…"
Amu looked at Tadase, "What?" she asked.
"The boy's sentence has already been set," Tadase said.
"What?" Su asked afraid now.
"Death," Tadase said.
All four of Amu's charas gasped and Amu fell to her knees in shock, "I'm sincerely sorry princess," Tadase lied.
Amu slapped Tadase, "Stay away from me," she growled and ran away tears forming in her eyes.
Tadase rubbed his cheek, "Well, that wasn't very princess like," Kiseki said.
"Then again, she's not much of a princess," Tadase said, "Come on, we're getting the lamp."
Amu ran into her room and slammed the door closed and jumped onto her bed and began to cry, "Amu-chan…" her charas said.
Amu looked at her charas with tears still falling, "I didn't even know his name guys," she said.
"You were even falling in love~ desu…" Su said.
Amu went wide eyed in realization, "But…how?" she asked, "The Humpty Lock…The Humpty Lock!"
Amu looked around her room, "Where is it?" she said frantic.
"Maybe that's why you started to fall for him Amu-chan," Ran said, "The Humpty Lock's missing."
Amu clinched her fist, "That can't just be it!" Amu yelled.
Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia flinched. Amu then began to cry into her hands, "That can't just be why…" she said into her hands.
