Chapter 23

Normal POV

"Hello Amu dear." Saya said. Urdina and Amu's parents walked in. They all started walking toward the group.

"Run!" Nali yelled. They ran to the same room the girls went to when the guys were chasing them. (A/N Chapter 17) Tadase slammed the door shut and locked it. They heard pounding coming from the other side of the door.

"What do we do now!." Kukai was freaking out.

"Amu! Open the damn door NOW!" Her father yelled continuing to pound the door in an attempt to open it. He stopped and moved back from the door. He ran and crashed down the door. They entered, but found no one.

"Where the hell did they go?" Urdina asked.

The boys stared in awe.

"So this is where you guys were hiding. So there was a button behind that painting of a house."said Kukai. The girls nodded.

"Yup, now let's go to the camera room to see where they're at." Nali said to them. Once they made it to the camera room, they found all them running around the house looking for them.

"Hey," they all faced Lulu,"let's call the police right now.

"Wait! Our phones are in the car. You boys didn't get them when you got us out!" Nali exclaimed. "Do you guys have your phones with you.?" She asked. The boys froze.

"I, well, um.. also left my phone in the bedroom."Noru informed. The girls shook their head. They turned to face the other boys. Rima raised an eyebrow. "What about you guys? Where are your phones?"

"I left mine in my room too." They said in unison. The girls smacked their foreheads with their hands and sighed.

Nali POV

What is the point of having cellphones if no one has them when there is an emergency! I looked at Kukai and saw him grinning widely.

"What is it Kukai?" I asked.

"Maybe I could get the cellphones from my room while Amu's parents, Saya, and Urdina aren't looking."

"No, it's too dangerous." Utau said in a worried tone.

"We have to do something to get help." I said. Utau looked at me. "But isn't there another way to get help."

Normal POV

Everyone began to state their ideas on what to do. They didn't notice that Saya was looking right at a camera she found. She smirked and ran to find Urdina and Amu's parents. Saya found them in the kitchen.

"There are cameras which means they are still in here, but they are hiding. I went upstairs and found cellphones in the rooms. The girls won't have their cellphones with them since I believe they left them in the car and forgot to get them and the boys left theirs upstairs."

"So they have no way of contacting help, right?" Urdina questioned.

"Exactly." Saya confirmed.

"Okay. Then Hiro and I will look in the room where they disappeared and will search the room to see if we can find something that will lead us to where those brats are at while you two go and look on the other floors for ways to also find them."

"If you guys or Urdina find something, come and tell me immediately, understand?"

"Yes Saya-sama."

Lulu POV

After much talking, we finally agreed to go with Kukai's plan to get the cellphones. Utau is super worried and anxious.

"You have to be careful." Kukai grinned and hugged Utau.

"Don't worry. I'll be okay and return safely." He leaned down and gave her a peck on the lips. I put a hand on Utau's shoulder.

"You better or I'll kick your butt later!" He chuckled and gave her a kiss. I saw Tadase sitting down. I went with him and sat next to him.

"I really hope Kukai comes back ok." I told him. He looked at me and gave one of those smiles that always melt my heart away.

"Don't worry Lulu. Kukai will be fine." I really hope so. If anything happens to Kukai, Utau will freak.

Normal POV (A/N Sorry for changing the POVs so much!)

"Saya-sama, we found a button behind a painting. We believe that will take us to where they are at." Saya turned to face Hiro and Manina.

"Good job. Urdina and I also found a button behind a painting on every floor. I have a plan."

It was finally time for Kukai to go get his cellphone. Ikuto checked the screens three times. He didn't see Amu's parents, Urdina, or Saya anywhere. Nali had found two walkie talkies and gave one to Kukai.

"Like I said, if you don't come back safely, I will seriously kick your butt!" Utau yelled out. Tears began to form and one slid down her face. Kukai reached out and wiped the tear away with his finger and chuckled.

"I love you too." Kukai gave her a quick kiss.

Nali looked at Kukai. "You ready?"

"Yup!"

"There are no cameras in the bedrooms so we won't be able to see what's going on, so hurry and grab the phone and come back quickly."

"Ok." Nali pressed a red button on the wall and the wall moved. The hallway was empty. Kukai cautiously walked forward. The wall closed behind him.(A/N The rooms are on the third floor. I don't think I said where they were located at.)

The group ran to look at the monitors. They saw Kukai approaching his and Utau's room. Rima suddenly noticed something.

"Where are they? They should be somewhere in the house, but they are no where to be found. Call him back!. Something is not right about this." Nagi grabbed the walkie talkie.

"Kukai come back here!." Kukai stopped walking. The group saw as he turned away so that his back was facing his room.

"Why?" They saw Amu's dad come out of Kukai's room with a bat in his hands. Utau ran to Nagi and took the walkie talkie away from him.

"LOOK OUT!" She yelled. Kukai turned around and saw a bat coming his way. He was hit in the head and was knocked out. Hiro grabbed him and dragged him in the room.

"KUKAI!" Utau dropped the walkie talkie and ran. She pressed the red button and was about to run out, until Amu grabbed her.

"Utau!" Utau shoved Amu. She ran and as she was about to enter the room, Hiro jumped out and also hit her. Amu looked at the scene in shock.

"UTAU!" Everyone yelled. All of them ran towards her except for Amu who was processing what had happened.

Ikuto carried Utau. They all were about to go in the room and get Kukai, but Saya, Urdina, and Manina came out. They all had bats. The group backed away and were about to run, but they were all hit in the head by them. Hiro saw Amu and charged towards her. Amu was finally sble to process what was happening and ran to press the red button. The wall closed right before Hiro was able to get in.

She fell to her knees and began to cry.

"What do I do? WHAT DO I DO!" She cried out. Amu looked up at the monitors and checked every one. She found all of her friends and Ikuto on the first floor right next to the staircase tied up to chairs, unconscious. Saya looked at the camera, knowing Amu was looking at the monitor.

"Why don't you come here? Your friends are waiting for you." Urdina popped up on the screen with a bucket of water. She threw the water on them and they woke up with jolt.

"What the hell? Let us go!" Rima yelled. Urdina looked at her.

"Shut up shortie."

"Don't call me shortie!"

Saya continued to talk. "Surrender yourself and suffer the consequences. If you don't surrender, your friends will be the ones suffering." She looked at Manina and gave a nod. Manina pulled out a knife and stabbed it into Nagi's arm. He yelled out in pain.

"Nagi!"

"I'm only giving you 30 minutes. We'll be waiting for you on the third floor."

Amu turned away and screamed out in frustration and anger. She had no other choice but to surrender. She didn't want her friends to get hurt anymore.

Ikuto, Lulu, Nali, Noru, Nagi, Rima, Kukai, Tadase, and Utau were placed a few feet away from the wall where Amu was to come out. Saya, urdina, Hiro and Manina were in front of them talking.

Lulu POV

While Saya, Urdina, Hiro and Manina talked, I remembered I had scissors that I use to cut any split ends I find. Ikuto was right next to me.

"Ikuto, I have some scissors we can use to cut the rope." I whispered to him.

"Cut the rope and pass it on to me. I have a plan."

Normal POV

It was time for Amu to come out. She pressed the button and the wall moved. Saya stood 3 feet away from her.

"I thought you weren't going to come." Amu kept quiet.

"Come here." Saya instructed. Amu did what she was told. She stood right in front of her,

"Grab her now." Amu's parents grabbed her and forced her down to her knees. Manina pulled her hair and forced her to look up at Saya.

"1.." Kukai began to count. Everyone faced him.

"Why are you counting?' Urdina questioned.

"2...3.. ATTACK!" All of them stood up and ran towards Saya, Urdina, and Amu's parents. Saya quickly grabbed Amu and pulled her into the hiding place.

Hiro took out a knife he was hiding in his shirt and passed it to her.

"DON'T LET THEM COME IN!" Saya yelled. She pressed the red button. As soon as the wall closed, Saya smashed the button.

"There are other ways for my friends to get in." Saya simply laughed at her.

"Before we came up to the third floor, Urdina and your parents smashed every button so no one could come in or out of here. Amu looked at her horrified.

"What's with that face, Amu? Aren't you happy? It's just you and me."

Ikuto: WHY!?

Nani: Don't worry, I'm planning to update again soon. Hopefully.

Ikuto: You better update!

Nani: Apologize for hitting me!

Ikuto: Fine... I'm sorry

Nani: Apology accepted... not!

Ikuto: Why not!?

Nani: Hmph

Amu: Read and review!
