Chapter 1
Himamori Amu was excited. Her flight had just landed in America and she pressed her hand on the window as she watched her drive to the terminal. "Nay Amu!" came from Ran, one of four shugo charas belonging to Amu.

"We're so close!" Su put in. Amu nodded excitedly.
"Just a few more minutes, Ikuto…" she said, watching out the window.

A certain cat was standing in the lobby of the airport as he tapped his foot. He hated it. It was so huge that it had a tram and he couldn't see Amu the moment she exited the plane. "Nya Ikutoooo. She'll be here soon," Yoru, Ikuto's chara, stated. He didn't like seeing his owner like that, but he hadn't gotten to see Amu since the holidays when she was fourteen. "Ikuto, nya! I could go meet with her first!" he said, which got a response from Ikuto.
"Ah. That would put my mind at ease," Ikuto said as Yoru saluted him. Yoru turned to fly off. "Be careful," Ikuto warned him.

Amu had her carry on over her shoulder as she exited the plane. "Whaaa? This place is bigger than the airport at home!" she said, looking to her girls. "Split up and look for Ikuto?" she asked with a wink.

"Mission find Ikuto, commence!" Miki said before the four charas turned, flying off.

"Baggage claim first," she said with a small smile. That had to be where Ikuto was waiting, yeah? She'd call him after she grabbed her bag, but oh was she excited! She walked down the steps to the tram when she heard, "AMU-NYA!" Amu turned and her eyes brightened. "Yoru!" she exclaimed as she held her hand out to him where he flew straight to her. She pulled Yoru to her so he wouldn't get hit by the crowd as she stepped onto the tram. "Yoru I missed you!" she said, rubbing her cheek on the chara's.

"I missed you too, Amu-nya!" he said. "Where are the girls nya?" he asked, looking around.
"I sent them on their own scavenger hunt," Amu said with a wink before giggling.

"Ikuto's going to be so surprised, nya!" Yoru said. Amu smiled as they got off the tram together and headed for baggage claim.

"Not to surprised, I hope," she said. After all she and the whole crew had been sending lots of pictures his way. Amu would make sure to even record Utau's concerts for him. She was enjoying the walk with Yoru when she didn't notice a cloth that moved across her face. In a matter of seconds, Himamori Amu was unconscious.

It'd already been half an hour… Where was she? Ikuto was getting nervous. Did she miss her plane? Did she stand him up? Yoru wasn't even back yet… "Found him!" Ran said as the four girls flew in front of Ikuto's face.

"Ran, Miki, Su, Dia," Ikuto said, a wave of relief across his face. "Where's Amu?"

"Amu-chi sent us ahead!" Dia reported. "Now we just gotta lead you to her," she said, excited as the girls all started towards the baggage claim. Though after another half hour, the excitement started to dull down. Ikuto took out his phone and yet again tried to call Amu with no answer.

"This isn't like Amu-chi," Ran said, getting worried.

"I can't feel her either…" Su said as she flew closer to Ikuto. Ikuto started to look around the airport and even into the evening, splitting up with the girls who looked to no avail…

"Amu…" Ikuto said as he feared the worst. Ikuto stood there in the middle of the airport. She was missing, and it was his fault…

Slowly waking up, Amu found herself in a room with no windows and a single light. She tried to recall what happened but a few groggy moments later, she realized she had been kidnapped. This made Amu start to shake. "Ran, Miki, Su, Dia?" she asked, looking around. If they were here, a chara change or chara transformation could help her.
"I'm not them, but I'm here, Amu-nya…" a voice from behind her said. Amu quickly turned around as she cupped Yoru in her hands.

"Yoru…" she said quietly as she pulled him to her chest. "Yoru why are you here? Why didn't you go to Ikuto?" she asked.

"Ikuto would kill me if I knew what had happened to you and ran back to him…" Yoru said, hugging Amu's collarbone.

"Ah… true… but where are we?" she asked.

"Mmm not entirely sure, nya… But an office building of sorts, nya?" he asked, his ears pinned back for a bit. Amu stroked his head. As the pair of them waited… She reached for her chest and pulled the humpty lock off of it, hiding it. She didn't know what this was, but she sure as hell wasn't going to risk it or Yoru…
