Caroline: Me…
Chelsea: Okay…the sleeping girl doesn't own Shugo Chara or any of the characters except her own OC. Please enjoy.
Amu's Point of View
I woke up the next morning with my face facing the floor. I yawned and rubbed my eyes sleepily. What a good night's sleep. Although I don't remember actually getting to my bed…eh…maybe Ikuto knows what happ- I shot up, "Ikuto!" I yelled shocked.
Ikuto was curled into a little ball, like a cat, on my purple beanbag chair. He moaned and turned to me his head on his folded arm. His midnight blue eyes stared at me, "You're loud you know that?" he said sleepily.
"W-w-what are you doing here?" I managed to say, "Aren't you supposed to be in Europe?"
Five charas sleepily arose from their eggs, "What's with all the noise~ nya?" Yoru asked rubbing his right eye.
Ikuto sat up and stretched a little, "I was," Ikuto said calmly, "Then I got bored with it."
"Did you find your father?" I asked.
"I found out where he is, never saw him though," Ikuto replied.
I blinked confused, "Why wouldn't you go see him?" I asked.
"Because," Ikuto stated in a tone that said to stop with this subject.
"Um, okay," I said, "When did you get back?"
"Last night," Ikuto stated his right arm on his knee "Came and saw you passed out on the floor. You still haven't learned to lock your balcony door by the way."
I blushed lightly, "Mind explaining who these two girls were?" Ikuto asked.
"Eh?" I said shocked.
"Miki told~ nya!" Yoru said laughing.
"Yoru!" Miki yelled and grabbed his little cat neck and started to strangle him.
"Miki!" Ran, Su, and Dia yelled and tried to pull the blue chara away from the cat chara.
Ikuto and I stared at the five chara until Ikuto turned to me, "Well?" he asked.
"I-I really don't know much," I said, "But one girl, Akane, looked about my age, maybe a year older, and had a chara name Aya. The other girl, Akiko, looked about your age and had two charas; a pink dressed one with a rainbow clip in her hair and a white haired one with a sword. That's all I know…"
"Hmm," Ikuto said, "Akane and Akiko huh?"
I nodded, "We don't know what they wanted. Akiko said their mission was to see what I could do," I said.
Ikuto stood up, "You said that girl Akane was about your age right?" Ikuto said calmly.
"Um, yes," I said.
"Then you may want to be careful at school," Ikuto said, "She may show up."
"Eh?" I said shocked.
"Don't look so shocked," Ikuto said, "Remember, I had to think like that once."
"R-right," I said, "Sorry."
"You wouldn't happen to know where my sister and Tadase are do you?" Ikuto asked.
"Huh? Oh!" I said, "Utau is at a photo shoot and Tadase should be at home."
"Thanks," Ikuto said then jumped on the edge of my balcony his blue cat ears and tail appearing, "Be careful Strawberry."
With that he and Yoru disappeared. With him gone now my whole face turned red and I fell off my bed, "Amu-chan!" my four charas said worried.
Akiko's Point of View
"Akiko!" Akane wailed as I came down the stairs of the house we shared.
"What?" I asked with no emotion.
"I'm hungry!" Akane wailed, "Feed me!"
I sighed and headed for the kitchen. If you weren't his daughter… Suddenly, the phone rang, "I got it!" Akane said, "Hello?" she said into the cordless phone, "Daddy!"
Great…boss man… "Sure, hold on," Akane said, "Akiko! The boss wants to talk to you."
I sighed and took the phone from the middle school student, "Yes sir?" I asked.
"Akiko," the boss's deep voice came, "I have another job for you…"
No One's Point of View
"Utau! Look this way!" the photographer said.
Utau sighed inwardly but did as she was told; "Perfect!" he said and took a few shots of her in that pose.
Ikuto slowly walked up, "So," he said, "This is where you were."
Utau turned, "Ikuto?" she said quietly shocked, but then exploded, "IKUTO!"
Utau ran over the poor photographer that was in the middle of her and her brother. Utau went to hug her older brother, but wound up on her face, "Your hugs are still easy to predict," Ikuto said smirking.
"Ikuto!" Utau whined, her inner Yaya coming into play, "I haven't seen you in a year! Quit being mean!"
Ikuto chuckled and helped his younger sister up and hugged her. Utau melted into her brother, "This better?" Ikuto asked.
"Mmhm," Utau said.
"Good, then mind explaining why you're dating Kukai?" Ikuto said smirking.
Utau's eyes went wide, "Eh?" she said shocked breaking away from Ikuto, "W-we're not dating!"
Ikuto chuckled, "That got something out of ya," he said.
"IKUTO!" Utau yelled and threw him to the ground and started hitting him, "Idiot!"
Ikuto chuckled again and easily got out from under her, "Well, you better get back," he said calmly, "I still have a little brother to see."
"Fine…" Utau said and began walking back.
Ikuto walked back the way he came, but suddenly stopped and turned to an alley, "What's wrong~ nya?" Yoru asked.
"Nothing I guess," Ikuto said calmly and continued walking.
Akiko's Point of View
I watched Tsukiyomi Ikuto walk away from his sister from an alley. Suddenly, he stopped. I hid more in the shadows before he turned, "What's wrong~ nya?" his cat chara asked.
"Nothing I guess," Tsukiyomi said calmly and continued walking.
Once he was out of my sight I character changed with Airi and flew over the buildings following the blue haired man. It's a simple mission right?
"Akiko," I heard the boss's deep voice say, "I have a job for you…"
"What is it?" I asked.
"The Dumpty Key has returned and is once again getting close to the Humpty Lock," the boss said, "I wanted you to keep them apart. Humpty Dumpty must fall and we'll make sure he's not put together again. Do you understand?"
"Y-yes…" I said defeated.
"Akiko-chan," Emi said breaking me from the memory, "He heading towards the old King Chair's house."
I nodded and landed on a rooftop close to the house. Tsukiyomi knocked on the door, "Coming!" a voice said.
Suddenly, the boy who used to be the King's Chair came out and went wide eyed, "Ikuto-nii-san!" he yelled and hugged Tsukiyomi, "You're back!"
"Hello Tadase," Tsukiyomi said calmly.
Tadase broke away from Tsukiyomi, "What are you doing back?" he asked.
"I got bored with Europe," Tsukiyomi stated.
"Oh, well, have you seen Amu-chan yet?" Tadase asked.
"Yes, why?" Tsukiyomi said smirking, "Afraid I'm going to steal your girlfriend away?"
"N-no!" Tadase said, "We're just friends now. She likes someone else."
Tsukiyomi looked slightly shocked, but it quickly went back to an emotionless face, "Really? Who," he asked.
"Uh, that's for her to say Ikuto-nii-san," Tadase said, "Sorry."
"I guess that's understandable," Tsukiyomi said, "Well, I better be going. See you Tadase."
"W-wait!" Tadase yelled, "Where are you going?"
"To get an apartment…" Tsukiyomi stated then continued walking.
"Oh… well, bye," Tadase said then entered his house again.
I just sat there for a while and watched as Tsukiyomi disappeared from my sight. I sighed. Better follow him, "Enjoy the show?" I heard a voice ask.
I turned behind me and Airi squealed when we saw Tsukiyomi standing there with blue cat ears and a tail. I kept my face emotionless and stood up Airi's character change now gone, "It wasn't that entertaining," I stated.
"Who are you~ nya!" Tsukiyomi's chara yelled.
"Well, if you must know," I stated, "I'm Nakamura Akiko and this is Airi and Emi."
Tsukiyomi glared at me slightly, "So you're one of the girls who forced Amu to her limit," he said.
I stayed calm, "I didn't push her to her limit," I stated, "She didn't have to save every single one of those eggs."
I felt my heart tighten as I said this, but I didn't show it. I looked at Tsukiyomi who looked ready to kill, "Who are you working for?" he said calmly, yet his face spoke rage.
Airi whimpered and hid behind Emi. I looked at the man in front of me, "Why do you even care?" I asked, "This is about Hinamori not you," that's a total lie!
"You don't get it," Tsukiyomi said calmly his face once again calm, "When Amu's involved…I'm involved."
In more ways than you know, "Well Tsukiyomi Ikuto," I stated and character changed with Airi, "Welcome to the game," I took off after that.
Even though you were already a player… I added silently.

"Ikuto~ nya?" Yoru asked.
"Come on," Ikuto stated, "We'd better find an apartment before sundown."
And one close to Amu's at that. Ikuto added silently.
Ikuto and Yoru found an apartment, but it wasn't as close to Amu as Ikuto would've liked, but it was something. It had a two person couch, a small TV, a small kitchen, a small bathroom, and a bedroom with a queen sized bed, "It's…not bad~ nya," Yoru said.
"Don't complain," Ikuto said then plopped on the couch, "You're lucky I even took this place."
Yoru laughed nervously, "I'll…just go to bed now~ nya!" he said then flew into the bedroom.
Ikuto sighed, but decided Yoru had the right idea and followed him into the bedroom to sleep.
