Morg: Heyo! Did you think I would forget?

Ikuto: Forget what?

Amu: Today is Wednesday.

Morg: You bet it is! That means it is time for an update!

Ikuto: Oh… Yeah... Right…

Amu: It's okay, Ikuto. You don't have to be excited.

Morg: Let's just rub in the fact that Morg owns nothing.

Ikuto: Okay!

~Killed With Kisses~

Kukai stared at the small SUV parked in front of the gate leading back to Amu's small apartment. Ikuto had left only moments before to bring a car around for everyone to leave, yet something didn't seem quite right to the soccer loving boy. "But none of us have a car."

Smirking, Ikuto leaned out the driver's window to give the human boy a wink. "We do now."

Spluttering, Kukai tried to find a reason to refuse to get into the vehicle. Utau pushing him from behind and telling him to hurry up didn't help his resolve. In the end, he gave up and climbed into the back seat along with the pop star and the dancing queer. The short, stalky girl, along with the hyper chick and the nerd had to sit on the row of seats in front of them. Kukai didn't mind the seating arrangement so much since it put him next to Utau for however long they'd be in the stolen vehicle. "Still don't like it."

"You don't have to so shut up, Souma."

Amu shut the door tightly behind their last friend. Nagihiko had gotten into a bit of a yelling match with his mother over the phone before Amu took it, changed her voice to sound like his and apologize profusely before begging to be allowed to go. By the end of her five minute conversation with his mother, Amu had permission for the boy to go. Yaya's parents had been the opposite. It was almost like they wanted their hyperactive daughter to take a mini vacation so they could have a break. Amu really didn't pity them. "That's everyone."

Making sure that the windows of the car were rolled up, Ikuto climbed out of his seat and shut the door before going around the front of the car to be closer to Amu. They could talk in almost silent tones and still be able to hear each other perfectly. "Do you want to drive?"

"I think it would be better if you drove."

"They're going to come after us. We'll have to fight out way out."

"Your reflexes give you better control of the SUV than mine will. We both know where we're going so even if I have to get out to deal with some idiots, I can still meet you there."

Pulling the humanoid into his arms, Ikuto pressed a quick kiss to her lips. "I don't want you kissing anyone else."

Grinning back at the robotic man that she couldn't help but love, Amu rolled her eyes. "I only do that when I don't want to leave any marks. Trust me; I want them to know exactly what is coming for them."

About to reply when a knock sounded from the car window, Ikuto sighed. "I guess that means we should get going."

"We'll make it safely."

"Shouldn't I be reassuring you?"

"They are your friends too, Ikuto."

Glancing back at the car to see a couple of faces smashed against the windows, Ikuto couldn't help but sigh again. "Don't remind me."

Giggling, Amu extracted herself from Ikuto's hold so that she could climb into the passenger seat. "Everyone buckled up? If not, I suggest you do that now. This could get rough."

"Put your seatbelt on now, Kukai."

"Jeez Ikuto! How did you even know that I wasn't wearing it?"

Smirking into the rearview mirror so that the other could see the look without Ikuto having to turn around, the blue haired boy couldn't help but feel exhausted by his friend's lack of brain power. "Not human, remember? Besides, we've been friends long enough for me to know when you're doing something stupid."

Mumbling under her breath so that only Ikuto would hear, Amu couldn't help but agree with his statement. "Which is always."

Chuckling, Ikuto pulled away from the curb and drove normally through town. They didn't want to draw attention to themselves. Hopefully, they could get well out of the town's limits before the chase was on. The last thing Amu and Ikuto wanted was for more people to be at risk.

Rima almost couldn't believe at how calm Amu and Ikuto acted while they left everything behind. The two were relaxed and chatting every now and then about what they thought was weird about humans and other odd topics. The short blonde wanted to scream at them to be a little more worried. Their lives were at stake and here they were talking about the way humans have to shave various parts of their bodies.

Nagihiko, seeing that the girl he liked was distressed, reached over the back of Rima's seat to squeeze her shoulder. "We're going to be just fine."

"Don't care about you, purpled headed freak. I just don't want anything to happen to my beautiful existence."

Having liked Rima long enough to be able to translate that statement into what she really meant, which was 'I'm scared for our lives and I wish you could hold me', Nagihiko only held on tighter. "Ikuto and Amu promised to keep us safe. If for some reason they cannot keep that promise then I'll do everything I can to make certain that nothing happens to you."

Rima was silent as she slowly lifted one of her hands to hold the one against her shoulder. Nagihiko didn't let her go for the rest of their car ride.

Having heard the conversation despite the hushed voices, Amu glanced back at her friends. They all had various degrees of distress on their faces. From their vitals, Amu could tell that they were all in agitated states. Some just managed to hide it better than others. "Humans are so cute."

Ikuto glanced sideways at the girl murmuring under her breath before facing back towards the road. His eyes caught the movement that he was certain was supposed to be undetectable in the darkness. "Amu, be careful."

Knowing that the entire car fell silent after they heard Ikuto's words, Amu turned to him with a smug grin. "Aren't I always?"

"Remind me again who saved your electronic ass earlier?"

"They barely caught me off guard. Besides, I could blame that all on you."

"Getting you out of that situation more than made up for my past discretions. However, this time I have to drive the getaway car. If you find yourself in a pickle, I can't just pull over."

Rolling her eyes, Amu reached over to latch her hand around the back of Ikuto's next. She yanked his head over to plant a kiss on his lips. The human-like male had no trouble kissing her back without swerving the vehicle in the slightest. Pulling away, Amu smiled at the other. "I'm coming back."

"Now who's being the cute one?"

Scowling, Amu hit the power window button to have the glass slide down into the door. "Just listen for my call to open my window again."

With that Amu jumped out of her window and into the night air.

Rima gasped.

Yaya screamed.

Kairi paled.

Nagihiko tensed.

Utau rolled her eyes.

Kukai cheered.

Ikuto simply ignored all the humans and rolled Amu's window back up. "Don't worry guys. She can fly, remember?"

"Part of me was thinking that you guys were still playing some sort of joke on us to take us to one epic Christmas present."

Raising his eyebrow, Ikuto kept most of his attention on the road. He understood that talking with his friends in a casual way would help to keep them calm. Hence, he kept the conversation going. "Amu changing her voice to Nagi's wasn't proof enough?"

Kukai held firm with his prior statement about this being some kind of Christmas surprise. "I'm just saying, some people can mimic other people's voices. Maybe Amu had the talent and never told us. Though seeing her jump from a moving vehicle like she did it all the time was proof enough."

Breaking out of her thoughts, Utau tried to see the scenery they were passing. "How fast are we going, anyways?"

"About a hundred and ten miles an hour."

"What!?"

"Yaya doesn't like going this fast."

Pushing his glasses back up his nose with shaky fingers, Kairi patted the girl beside him with his free hand. "It's okay, Yaya-koi. Ikuto-san has enough control of the vehicle to keep it steady at any speed."

Yaya didn't feel convinced but she accepted Kairi's statement when he slid his hand into hers and held on tight.

Utau tried once more to see out the window. The dark objects out in the night flicked by too quickly for her to make out what they were. "Where are we going?"

"Amu and I designated several checkpoints along our route to city. We're heading for the airport. You got the tickets, right?"

Utau nodded. "Yes, though part of me thought that that would be some sort of diversion. Glad to know that we're using the money I spent wisely."

Shaking his head as he maneuvered the car around the first of the blockades that Ikuto could see on the road in front of them, the driver tried to make certain that his passengers remained unaware of what was happening. His super sensitive ears could pick up the sound of Amu fighting outside the vehicle. The gun shots, however soft they were, were loud enough for Ikuto to keep track of. He knew when they were passing by alcoves of soldiers sent to die by the hands of the most beautiful pinkette that Ikuto had ever known. "This plan works just fine. You guys get a vacation while Amu and I do everything we can to keep you safe. You'll be playing in the sun in no time."

Kukai couldn't help but think about their destination or a little bit. His mind gave him the perfect scene of him confessing to the girl pressed against his side and her accepting his feelings and returning some to him. "Right, fun in the sun."

Hearing the odd tone, Utau glanced up at the boy beside her. She couldn't help but admit that the kid had style. He was rather good looking. "You all right, Souma?"

Blinking out of his fantasy, Kukai shifted his eyes so that he met the girl's beside him. "Never better, Hoshina."

Tingles raced across Utau's skin, though she wasn't really certain as to why they did so. "Good. We don't need you flipping shit."

Kukai scoffed and was about to reply when a sharp jerk of the wheel from Ikuto made them swerve around some sort of obstacle that apparently he could see because the others saw nothing in the darkness. The swerve did, however, cause for Utau to practically fall sideways into his lap. "You all right, Hoshina?"

Scowling, Utau pushed herself out of Kukai's arms to face the window in a huff. "Peachy."

Grinning now, Kukai couldn't help but lock the feeling of the girl in his arms in his head. He was becoming way too sappy and enjoying every second of it.

Ikuto continued to avoid the best that the Guardians of Easter could throw at them in such a short amount of time. Finally, the sounds of gunfire stopped. Ikuto knew that Amu was heading back towards the car. Despite their incredibly fast speed, Amu was faster. Not two seconds later, a tap sounded on the window.

Hitting the button, Ikuto hit the gas as Amu slipped back into her seat and rolled her window back up. "How'd it go?"

"Got the majority of them. Some I was aiming to maim rather than kill."

"You've gone soft."

Smacking the arm closest to her, Amu disagreed. "Idiot, I wanted some survivors to tell the tales of the unseen assassin."

Ikuto only chuckled at that.

The humans in the back, however, paled. Not because Amu was freely talking about killing the men that were after them, but because the hit she'd just delivered to Ikuto's arm would have easily sent any of them crashing into the wall and breaking more than one bone in their body. No matter how badly their minds still wanted to deny the truth, they couldn't any longer. Amu and Ikuto definitely were not human.

Morg: Sort of a fun chapter. Just getting things set up for the end.

Ikuto: Is that coming soon?

Amu: Hopefully!

Morg: Actually, yes. I'm not quite sure how many more chapters there are since I don't know how detailed I'm going to get with the fight yet, but I can tell you that we are getting close.

Ikuto: Lame. Amu and I haven't even done anything yet.

Amu: We're not going to!

Morg: Probably not, but the story is great anyways! Right!?
