Shadow: GAHH!! I'M SO PISSED!!!!!!
Haruko: O.o Shadow. Calm down.
Shadow: NO!! DAMN IT! I HAD TO RETYPE THIS DAMN CHAPTER BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IT!!!! IT WAS A WHOLE DAMN SEVEN PAGES!!! I MEAN F-
-beeep- (technical difficulties)
Shadow: …-pouting in a corner with a cookie in mouth-
Ikuto: Are you okay now?
Shadow: … ¬¬
Ikuto: Shadow… do you want me to take away the cookie?
Haruko: Don't. You'll get her even more pissed.
Ikuto: Well, she has to tell me she's alright somehow!
Shadow: -sighs- Yes I'm alright… now leave me alone… readers, sorry for that. I was really pissed because the chapter really did get deleted. And it was long too… so now, here's the probably not as good alternate chapter… T.T
"Ikuto?" I wondered as I shook him. Ikuto's eyes clsed and he slumped forward.
Yoru's eyes widened and his ears perked, like he heard a strange noise. Then, his expression changed into a sleepy one, and he gently floated to the floor. "I'm sleepy…nya…" he yawned as he went in his egg that soon rolled on the floor.
Ikuto stood up, picking up his violin and walking zombie like to the balcony. "Hey! Where are you going?" He still ignored me and jumped down. I ran toward the edge.
"Ikuto!" he gently landed on his feet, like the cat he is. Then he began to walk away. I unconsciously jumped off too, trying to figure out what he was doing. I looked down and sweatdropped. "Aaahhh!!!!"
Luckily, I fell on a bush. I rushed my back as I stood up and got all the leaves off. I looked around. "Damn it. Where is he?"
Suddenly, I saw glitter flutter about in the sky and someone say "Death Rebel". I ran forward but stopped, losing the source of the glitter already. And then I heard a violin playing some horrific tune. "Ikuto?" I wondered as I now ran toward the new resource to find that cat.
I gasped as I saw Ikuto playing on the top of the hill with his violin. Well, it wasn't really surprising, but Ikuto had different clothes and on his back, was a giant scythe. What was also shocking was that Hiro was next to him, also in his chara nari. I hid behind a tree.
"Damn it Ikuto. You just had to hold the violin all of a sudden without boss's orders. It the freakin night after all! Well, we usually do this during the night, but still!" He complained.
"Hiro! Stop whining!" Kazuki said. "The X eggs are coming!"
"Yeah Yeah." He sighed and readied his scythe. Lots of X eggs appeared and flew around the two. I gasped. Ikuto's cat ears perked and he stopped playing. He looked where I was at as I quickly hid back behind the tree. "Oi! Ikuto! Why'd you stop?"
I held my breath. Hiro looked where Ikuto was looking and grinned. "Oh. Someone's there?" he said as he walked toward my tree. I ducked down in the bush next to me and tried to be not that noticeable. My eyes widened when I saw a pair of legs near me.
'Please don't notice me….'
I gasped as someone grabbed a handful of my short hair and lifted me up. Hiro was smirking evilly and looking me in the eye. He threw me to the ground and I was now by Ikuto's feet.
"Well, well. Look what we have here." Hiro said and walked toward me. I groaned as I sat up. A scythe was suddenly near my neck. "You know, you wouldn't be here if you didn't follow Ikuto."
'Hiro, I don't think you should kill her. It might make Iku-'
"Ah. Who cares? She's useless now. Because her precious little chara left her." I glared at him and his giant reaper weapon.
"Tsuki didn't leave me." I growled. I flinched when the blade went closer to my neck.
"You. Shut up."
"Why don't you make me?" I said.
"I think I will." Hiro lifted his scythe up and was about to slice me when-
"Golden Victory! Shoot!" A shining gold orb was shot and knocked Hiro's scythe away. We all turned to our side to see Kukai and the others.
"Kukai!" I yelled as I stood up and ran to them.
"Ikuto! Don't let her get away!" Hiro hissed. Ikuto set down his violin and went after me. Just when I was about to run to Kukai, Ikuto appeared before me. I stumbled back and he grabbed me.
"Haruko!" everyone yelled as Ikuto had arms around my waist and neck. I struggled to be free but Ikuto only tightened his grip.
"Ikuto? Why does he have a different transformation?" Amu wondered.
"Let her go!" Kukai growled. When he took a step forward, Ikuto took a step back. Hiro sighed.
"I have no time to deal with this! Ikuto! We gotta round up the eggs. We're going to finish it there okay? Oh and to make it more interesting, take little imouto, will you?" Hiro grabbed his scythe and pointed it upward. "See you later, guardians."
Ikuto stood next to him with me still in his grasp and his violin case in his arms. "Demonic Shadows!" Hiro yelled. A dark aura shot out of his scythe and engulfed the whole place in darkness.
"Haruko!" I heard everyone yell as they tried to see through the dark.
"Minna!!" I yelled, trying to let them know where I was with my voice, but then I realized that the dark aura had X egg energy, and I passed out.
When the dark atmosphere faded away, the guardians and Kukai frantically looked around, trying to find Haruko. "Damn it!" Kukai punched a tree. "They took her away."
"Don't worry. We'll find her." Nagehiko reassured.
"Is it me, or did Ikuto look different?" Amu asked.
"Hm? Of course he's different. He had a different chara transformation." Rima answered.
"I know that… but then he had this weird atmosphere."
"What do you mean Hinamori-san?"
"I don't know. But I have a bad feeling…"
"Whatever. We'll have to find Haruko. Fast." Kukai said as he looked in the sky.
"We can't do it right now. It's getting dark." Kukai turned around to Tadase, shocked.
"But Haruko-" Nagehiko put a hand on his shoulder.
"She'll be alright. Haru-chan's strong. You should know that. And we'll find her. But now, we have to rest and conserve our energy. We'll start searching tomorrow morning."
Kukai looked down and slowly nodded. "…right…" he squeezed his eyes shut and tightened his hands into fists.
'Haruko…please be alright...'
Shadow: Well minna, I gotta end it here. Sorry.
Haruko: Wow. THAT'S seven whole pages? And I got kidnapped again. Great… -_.-;
Shaow: Yes you got kidnapped, and no that's not 7 pages. U was too pissed today to type the whole thing. Sorry DX
Haruko: -sighs- Great…not only is this chapter short, but I got kidnapped again by Mr. Asswipe.
Hiro: Ikuto's an asswipe! Haha! –ponts and laughs-
Haruko: …I was talking about you…
