Morg: Heyo! I'm going for it!

Ikuto: Going for what?

Amu: This is like her fourth update of the day.

Morg: I want to update everything! I'm trying!

Ikuto: Oh, I see.

Amu: Good thing you don't own us!

Morg: Why is that?

Ikuto: Because Amu would be exhausted considering all the M stories you write.

Amu: Pervert!

~Guardian of Light~

Trying to resist the urge to run, Amu focused her attention back on Ikuto. The feeling cursing through her body made no sense to the blonde. There was no reason for her to run like a bat from hell, especially when Ikuto was finally opening up to her. She had to stay. "S-so what do you know about her?"

For a moment, Ikuto wondered why Amu sounded a little strained. However, as he stared into her waiting eyes, the Angel brushed it off and sat down at his desk. "She controls the creatures of the light just as I control the creatures of the night. We both have complete control over our own creatures. All except the humans, this gives us equal power."

Amu listened. She really did. Despite the feeling that she needed to plug two fingers into her ears and hum loudly, Amu actually controlled herself and listened to Ikuto's words. She just didn't completely agree with what he was saying. "Wait, the Guardian of Light controls the creatures of light? Wouldn't a guardian, you know, guard?"

"Being a human, I expected you to not understand. But no, we control the creatures. They were created for us to tell them what to do."

Not believing that for a second, Amu decided it would just be better to stay quiet and listen to what Ikuto had to say so that she could escape sooner rather than later. Her heart was starting to beat faster with the need to get away. Why did she feel like she shouldn't be near Ikuto like she was? "Oh."

Nodding once the blonde fell silent to listen to what he had to say, Ikuto continued with giving Amu more information. "I don't know much else about the Guardian. None of my predecessors have been able to discover more since the Knight of Light came into being and stole her from us. Once I find her, he will be the first to face my wrath. Though the good thing about him is the fact that everything must have a balance. His creation also gave me the Dame of Darkness. She is my most loyal servant."

Amu thought back to the night she was taken. That was the only time she'd ever seen the Dame that Ikuto was speaking about. Actually, that was the only time she'd seen any of Ikuto's other creatures, besides Nagihiko that is. She'd definitely seen some other creatures as she was wandering around, but none of them actually stopped and introduced themselves to her. I guess they didn't see point since Amu was human and they weren't.

"Being human you should know that the world fears me. I have complete control, especially with the Guardian missing. The world fears me and I wouldn't have it any other way. Of course, I am more powerful at night, just as the Guardian is more powerful during the daytime."

Not being able to take the pain that was radiating through her body any longer, Amu moved across the room. "I'm not entirely sure why you want to live like that. Doesn't that mean that you don't have any friends?"

Ikuto watched as the blonde moved towards the door to his study. Was she ignoring everything else he was saying? "I don't need friends. I only need the Guardian and once I find her she will be mine."

Nodding once, Amu opened the door. "I guess that might work. I mean, I consider you to be my friend even though you are holding me against my will here. There is the possibility that she won't mind either."

Ikuto was left rather in shock by that statement as Amu left the room. His mind was too focused on convincing him that the Guardian wouldn't really have choice in the matter.

Amu finally felt as if she could breathe as she moved down the hall of the Angel of Darkness' underground castle. The feeling of having to get away from Ikuto was slowly dying away with every step she took. Unknowingly, Amu's steps took her to Nagihiko's workshop where Rima was currently keeping the fires hot for him. "Rima!"

The large dragon stopped her flame for a moment to turn and look at the blonde. Her large dragon eyes widened slightly when she noticed that the girl before her wasn't as blonde as she'd been before. "Amu."

"So this is what you do for Nagihiko?"

The purplish elf stepped out from behind a rather large anvil holding some tools and hot metal in his hands. "Oh, hello Amu. I was wondering why Rima stopped."

Turning towards the man, Amu gave a slight smile. "Is it okay for Rima to take a break?"

With a semi confused smile, Nagihiko nodded to the human girl. "Fine by me. The fires will be fine for a few moments."

Amu's smile brightened a little at that as she turned back to her dragon friend.

Rima narrowed her gaze as she took in the slightly shaken looking girl. "Amu, what happened? You look frazzled. Did Ikuto do anything to you?'

"What?"

Rima sighed, a rather large sigh considering she was a dragon, before moving her head closer to Amu's. "Did Ikuto touch you anywhere you don't want to be touched?"

Taking a step back, partly in shock, Amu gasped. "No way! Ikuto wouldn't do that to me! He and I are friends! I haven't completely figured out why he's brought me here, but that isn't the reason why."

Something crashed where Nagi was working. He hadn't meant to be listening into the conversation, but Amu had said it so loudly. Ikuto, the Angel of Darkness, brought a human girl to his castle that he wasn't taking advantage of? Something was off. However, Nagihiko decided it was in his best interest to mind his own business.

Still unsure, Rima sniffed the girl before her. 'If you're sure?"

"Jeez Rima! I'm telling you that Ikuto hasn't done more than pull me along by my wrist the entire time I've been here."

"Okay then, Amu."

Little did the two girls and the working elf know, a fourth person was listening to the conversation. He, however, found amusement in the information he'd just learned and couldn't wait to tease his master about it.

Sitting on his throne and thinking about the conversation he'd had earlier in the day with the girl he was holding captive; Ikuto had his chin in the palm of his hand. Amu's reactions had been a little different than the girls he'd had there before. Then again, Amu had a dragon protecting her.

Granted, he also had never talked to the other girls in the same way he talked to Amu.

"What are you doing, master?"

Letting his eyes slide from the blank area they were staring into to land on the Black Panther slinking into the room, Ikuto let out a sigh. "Thinking, Yoru."

"Looks like hard work. Rather you than me, nya."

Rolling his eyes, Ikuto ignored the way the panther just slinked himself down onto the ground before his throne. "What do you want, Yoru."

"Nothing much, Ikuto-nya. Just wondering why you've left the new human untouched."

Feeling his muscles freeze up just a little, Ikuto played off his discomfort with nonchalance. "None of what I do is your business, Yoru."

Slinking his tail across the floor, Yoru hid the fact that he rolled his eyes from his master. "Blame it on my cat side, nya. I'm just curious as to why you haven't done anything to her. Been awhile since I've heard screams filling the halls."

Ikuto remained silent after that last comment from the large cat. He had nothing to say to argue against the statement since it was true. Ikuto hadn't had release in a while. Though Amu was his current human captive, something was holding him back from just taking her like he had the others. There had definitely been times when he'd wanted to kiss her. Like that time he found her sitting in the sunlight, but the urge had been nothing more than the want to place soft kisses on her lips.

Frowning more than he had before the dark cat had slinked his way into Ikuto's presence, the Angel of Darkness refused to look at his underling even though Yoru wasn't looking at him anyways. Thinking about it now, Ikuto still didn't have the urge to touch Amu in the way he used the other humans. Since it wasn't there, Ikuto wasn't going to force it. That left one option. "Amu isn't here for that. But since you insist on it being too quiet around here, I'll just go get a different human."

Yoru was silent as he watched his master spread his dark wings and disappear to the higher world. "Sure master, that isn't why you brought Amu here."

Ikuto never heard the comment though, since he had already returned to Earth in search for his new toy. The villagers that were unlucky enough to be awake still when he arrived ran in fright. One girl, a rather plain looking human with brown hair, froze in her spot next to a wooden house. She didn't exactly look appetizing to Ikuto, but he wasn't going to be picky at the moment. The point was just to get a girl and satisfy the need he had. "You shall come with me."

Tears streamed down the girls face though she did nothing to refuse him. They rarely did. Ikuto knew it was because they were too afraid to do anything else, a fact that didn't bother him one bit. Unlike how he brought Amu back, Ikuto didn't touch the girl. Rather, he just snapped his fingers and transported her along with him.

Strolling through the hallway on her way back to her room with nothing else to do, Amu was rather surprised when she heard the sound of another girl crying not far away. Before she could think through her actions, Amu's feet were carrying her in the direction the sound was coming from.

Rounding a corner, Amu watched as Ikuto looked at the crying girl before him. "Ikuto? What's going on?"

Turning to the sound of Amu's voice, Ikuto frowned. He hadn't wanted Amu to know what he was doing. Though he never cared before and he had no idea why he was worried about it now. "I went to Earth and got her."

Amu turned her golden eyes from Ikuto to take in the crying human girl. "Oh, well don't worry sweetie! Ikuto is really nice! Come with me. I'm sure you'll calm down in no time! We can be friends!"

Groaning, Ikuto watched as Amu walked away with the girl he'd brought back to rape. This wasn't going as he'd planned considering the girl he was going to use was disappearing with the girl he just couldn't touch, and there was nothing he could say to stop the blonde from taking the other human.
