A/N: Thanks to all the reviewers again (18 for one chapter!!)! I'm having some competition with more and more fanfictions being written, but whatever! I will persevere…I suppose. XDD Hopefully there will be a scene with Amu in it this time. Apparently, people can't wait for the AMUTO to come out. Lol
Thanks to

I'm wondering whether or not to do a lemon scene in this fanfic. Yes or no?
Flashback
"Ikuto! I need you to follow Ruma!" Kairi ordered. "I think she knows more than she lets on. The rest of us will still search for the other sisters."
Ikuto nodded and when he was alone, he chara-changed with Yoru.
"Yoru," he ordered. "Where's the scent?"
"Ikuto! The pink-haired girl is at a dojo. She's apparently a sensei there."
"Where's the dojo?"
"In the southern part of town."
"Good job Yoru." praised Ikuto. Yoru purred, blushed, and washed himself, very happy. "Well then Ms. Ruma. What information are you hiding from us now?"
Normal POV
Ikuto jumped buildings and stayed close to the shadows as he got closer and closer to the dojo. He snuck in through the back, and listened as Ruma instructed her students how to do a high flying kick. There were numerous thuds, apparently many had tried and failed. Ruma laughed.
"It's okay guys! You don't get it on the first try. I'm laughing because this reminds me of me doing this same move and failing a few years ago!" The other students followed her laughter and Ikuto could hear her instructing how to do the flying kick correctly. For what seemed like an eternity later, her classes finally ended. Ikuto hid in the shadows while Ruma came out. She was sweating but hyper and talking to the other teachers. She went to the changing room and came out in her outfit from that morning. Ruma waved good-bye and took off. Ikuto nodded to Yoru and chara-changed again. They stalked her again and saw her go into an apartment. Ikuto put his phone on silent, and looked for any options of sneaking in. Seeing an air vent big enough for his slim frame, he crawled in. He squeezed through the tunnels until he heard the familiar voices of the blue-eyed girl, Mimi, and Ruma. They were laughing about something he didn't quite catch. He crawled closer to their air vent, but a safe distance so that they wouldn't hear or see him.
Mimi POV
"And then, and then, a bunch of my students fell down doing the high flying kick! It brought back so many memories! And the other teachers told me more stories! Like there was this one time…" Ruma babbled on. I shook my head and drowned her out. She could go on like that for hours. She had never changed. We were waiting for Sumi to come home. Ruma and I couldn't cook to save our lives, so we were also waiting for Sumi. She had tried to make us cook for ourselves by not coming home until midnight one day, and we were still waiting for her when she came through the door. After that incident, she had given up.
Finally, the doorbell rang.
"I got it, Sumi!" I yelled. I ran to the door and yanked it open. I was extremely hungry that day because I had to put up with students who didn't even practice their violin. That made me angry, and hungry. Ruma was still talking about her classes at the dojo back in the living room.
"Sumi!! What are we having for dinner?" she asked when she finally noticed Sumi coming in.
"Well, desu. I was thinking some bean paste soup, rice, and eggs and fish as side dishes," she replied.
"Fine with me," I said, knowing that everything Sumi made was delicious. As we waited for the food, Ruma, Sumi, and I all told stories about our day. Ironically we were all teachers, but I also did competitions to help out. Finally the food was ready.
"Itadakimasu!" we said before eating. Suddenly, I heard a bang. What was that?
Ikuto POV
That was close. I had to grab Yoru from getting the fish, but being in an air vent was a very tight position. I grabbed him, and muffled him from making any more noises. I tensed, the blue-eyed girl had obviously heard something.
"Mimi? You alright desu?" asked Sumi, the green-eyed.
"Ye-yeah…" Mimi hesitated. She turned around and went back to talking with her family. Then suddenly, out of the blue, she asked, "Do you think she'll be coming home today?" There was silence around the table.
"I don't know, desu. She comes and goes. I hope she does though. There is enough food for her," replied Sumi.
"It's okay! I'm sure she'll come! And even if she doesn't, she still does visit us!" cheered Ruma.
"Yeah. I suppose so," agreed Mimi. It was silent, and then the conversation started again. She?Why aren't they saying her name? I wondered. The conversation went to Ruma again.
"Hey, guys? I met these new people today. I think they were the old gang."
"What?! What happened," Mimi instantly demanded.
"Well…we had breakfast and they started asking all these questions about whether we knew Amu-chan or not."
"Did you say anything else, desu?"
"I did mention the mafia group…Is that bad?" There was a tense moment. Suddenly, someone came into the kitchen and said,
"What did you say?"
I widened my eyes at the newcomer.
A/N: I'll try updating again today. Even if I don't get as much reviews. Sorry about the short chapter! But this cliffie was too hard to resist.
