Yume: Hey guys, sorry I didn't update for so long. To make it up to you I will upload two stories instead of one.
Ikuto: Oh, so you're back and we'll finally understand what will happen in the story.
Yume: Yes, yes we will.
Ikuto: Tagicheartbreak and kawaineko-chan9 do not own Shugo Chara!.
[Ikuto POV]
'I have got to tell Rima about this.'
And with that thought in mind I headed to her house.
Time skip At Rima's house
"I JUST SAW AMU!" I exclaimed as I barged into Rima's house.
She was sipping tea, but when she heard me she almost dropped her cup from being startled.
"What did you say?" she whispered, her eyes wide, not only because of my sudden appearance, but from the news I just brought to her.
"I just saw Amu!" I repeated, this time more clearer.
She started looking around.
"Where is she then?" she asked.
"She escaped." I said.
"She was together with another girl. She looked very different. Her hair was longer and it reached her waist. What most surprized me though, was that her eyes were a periwinkle purple color." I said.
"But Amu has golden eyes, it couldn't have been her." she said.
"It was her, I had a dream of her and her companion. Her aquantance called her Amu, and I think that her name was Yume." I said.
"So, you're saying that we should believe it's her just because you had a dream of her?" she asked with disbelief in her eyes.
"Yes, I wouldn't have been mistaken, I'm sure that that's Amu." I said with confidence displayed on my face.
Upon seeing that I am serious she widened her eyes and told me that we'll start a search for Amu tomorrow.
On my way back, I thought of Amu and how she's changed since I left her.
She looked so gracefull, yet so sorrowfull, it just broke my heart to see those beautiful eyes filled with sadness and emptiness.
As I was walking I felt a presence, so I stopped.
"Show yourself." I demanded.
"My, my, you were able to feel my presence, you must be something special. All the others wouldn't even notice me if I was breathing in their neck." I heard a deep voice say.
I turned around and saw a man with a black hat and dark sunglasses. He was wearing black jeans, black vans and a black t-shirt.
His hair seemed to be half dyed in black, leaving the other side of it dirty blond.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Who I am does not matter." He said taking a step towards me. „What matters is the message I'm here to deliver. it's from one of my superiors. She said not to look for her." he said with a serious face.
"She? Who is she?" I asked, then I remembered today's encounter.
"Amu?" I breathed out.
"You seem very familiar with my superior to call her by her first name. With no honorfics no less." He said.
„Where is she?" I asked.
„Don't worry, she is fine. Like I said before. She sent me here to tell you not to look for her." He said.
„What do you mean not to look for her?" I asked, not believing a word he said.
„Oh, you don't believe me? Well I guess that Hinamori-sama knows you very well." He said reaching for something inside his pocket. „So she made sure to record herself." He said getting out a small camera.
He did something to it, then he threw it at me so I can catch it.
„Watch the video." He said.
I looked down and pressed the play button.
„Ikuto, you should leave me alone. I don't want to suffer more than I have til now. I heard that you were dead, but now you come here and show me that I was wrong. But, you left me, Ikuto. For that, I will never forgive you. Don't look for me, I'm already broken as it is. My heart was finally able to heal, I don't want you to break it again. Goodbye."
That was her. Her voice. Those purple hurt eyes. Pink silky hair. Pale lips. That was Amu pleading me not to look for her. I am sorry though, because I will not follow what you said.
„Well, you saw for yourself. She doesn't want you to search for her." He said.
„Heh, when have I ever listened to what my little Strawberry told me?" I asked whilst smirking. And returning the camera the same way as he did and he caught it.
„S-Strawberry? Oi." He said, sweat-dropping.
„Well, that's what I called her when she was younger. It still applies to her looks." I said.
„Hmm, you are right, Hinamori-sama does look like a Strawberry with that strange color of her hair." He said, clearly thinking out loud.
„You sent the message, so why are you still here?" I asked.
„I thought that it might be interesting to see what you can do. It is rare for Hinamori-sama to send me to relay a message unless the person is really dangerous." He replied.
„Hmm, I am a bit rusty, but I will take you on. Yoru." I said. Yoru flew out of his hiding place and next to my shoulder. A cat tail and ears appeared on my body.
„That's the spirit. Confusion." He said and a small Chara popped out of his pocket.
It had no face and no hair. It was wearing a shliffer and a beige hat plus black sunglasses. It had beige colored pants and black leather shoes on.
The hat on the guy's head turned beige and he turned invisible.
The only thing that was heard was his wicked, but quiet laughter.
'So, I have to rely on my senses, huh?' I thought as I closed my eyes and let my ears and nose lead me.
*Some Time Later*
[Ikuto POV]
„Damn that guy, where did he go?" I said.
„I'm right here." I heard a voice coming from behind me. Then I felt a blow to my side and fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Damn I think this broke a rib or two.
„Well, this was fun and all, but I gotta go. Hinamori-sama wanted me to do something else as well, so I better get the task done." He said already leaving.
„Wait, what is your name?" I said, whilst standing up.
„Like I said before, my name does not matter, but since you insist on knowing. It's Sagamoto Kuroi. It was a nice battle. You're the only person that has survived this long." He said, chuckling. Then he looked at some of the wounds I had managed to land. „You're the first who managed to wound me as well."
„Heh, I am honored then." I said with sarcasm spilling through my words.
„Well, I gotta go. I will leave you to lick your wounds, just like a cat would do." He said with a cocky grin on his face.
„Don't be so cocky, you're wounded as well." I said whilst smirking.
„Well, bye then." He said and then disappeared.
'I should find some place where I can rest, so the closest would be...Amu's house. Damn it, I have no other choice, do I?' I thought to myself.
I headed to Amu's house. When I arrived I noticed that the balcony was open. Then this makes it easier. I won't have to face her mother. It will be easier that way.
[Kuroi POV]
'Hmm, that guy was good. Quite interesting. Well now I have to report to Hinamori-sama about it.'
I knocked on a giant cherry-colored door.
„Come in." I heard from the other side.
I opened the door and entered the room then closed the door.
„Hinamori-sama, I have news about the person you wanted me to deliver a message to." I said bowing.
„You may raise your head Kuroi-san." She said. I stood up from my bow and looked at my superior. As always she was sitting on her bed in a gothic-lolita dress and Shinko-sama was right next to her.
„Tell me what he said." She said with no emotion whatsoever.
„He said 'Heh, when have I ever listened to what my little Strawberry told me?'." I relayed his words one by one.
„*sigh* Just like him to say something like that. So he won't quit, huh?" she said.
„It doesn't seem so, Miss." I said.
„Ok, you are dismissed. You may return to your position." She said.
„One last thing," I turned my gaze towards Shinko-sama, „how good was he?" she finished her question.
„I don't know what you mean, Shinko-sama." I said innocently.
„Amu, do you mind if I speak with Kuroi-san alone?" she asked looking at Hinamori-sama.
„It's okay, you can go, Yume-nee." It's very interesting how these two became so close in just 4 years.
„Kuroi-san, follow me, please."
„Yes, Shinko-sama." I said as I followed her outside the room.
We walked for awhile and reached another big door, but this one was dark purple, almost black.
We entered another room with black and white interior.
She gestured for me to take a seat on one of the chairs in her room and took a seat herself.
„So, tell me about his skills." She says.
„He is good. He was able to wound me when I was invisible. And I was only able to land just a few blows." I said.
„Hmm. Ok, thank you. Is there something else I should know?" she asked.
„No, Shinko-sama, that is all I was able to get from fighting him. He has good senses, you must be careful when stalking him." I replied.
„Thank you, you may leave now." She said gesturing for the door.
I took my leave and went to wander somewhere.
[Yume POV]
'So I have to be careful. He seems to have strong senses. Maybe I should use my cat senses as well. This will be complicated.' *sigh* 'Maybe I should speak with Amu about this before I do anything.'
With this thought in mind I went to get some sleep before the big day tomorrow.
*End of Chapter*
Yume: So that's the chapter. I hope you guys liked it.
Ikuto: Well, I didn't.
Yume: Who cares that you didn't?
Ikuto: Damn you, woman.
Yume: HAHAHA
Ikuto: *sigh* Just R&R, people.
