Amu's POV

I awoke to the throbbing pain on my neck. Moaning, I touched my neck and felt the puncture. My blurry eyes became clearer and then I realized that I was in a cage.

What's going on?

"I'm so sorry, Amu," a familiar voice said full of regret.

Kukai.

He stepped out of the shadows, still wearing his clothes from before. He looked at me wistfully and walked towards me.

Immediately, I backed away, hitting the bars with my back.
"Don't come near me!" I screamed. I shut my eyes and threw my arms in front of my face in self-defense.

I expected another sharp pain on my neck, but it did not come. His put his arm through the bars and lightly caressed my neck, brushing his fingertips on the wound..

When I flinched, he dropped his hand.

Click.

It was the sound of a door opening. When I opened my eyes, Kukai was gone and a new person appeared.

" Wow, you are more beautiful in person, " a childish high pitched voice said. It came from a blonde haired boy with red eyes wearing all black clothes. His long hair and soft features made him seem like am innocent girl.

A chill went through my back when he said that, and I did not respond to his comment.

He stepped toward me and sniffed me, his eyes shining brightly.

"Oh my, your scent is quite alluring. No wonder Kukai couldn't help himself."

He got closer to my neck, revealing his sharp fangs. Instinctively, I punched his face in fear that he will bite me.

"Heh, playing hard to get?" He asked, his voice raising. His fangs grew larger and his fingernails elongated to a sharp point.

In a second, he tore opened the cage and grabbed my throat, holding me above the ground.

I gasped and tried to break his gripe on me, but it was no use.

He's too strong.

A gurgling sound came from my mouth and my vision became fuzzy. I thought maybe it was time, but then I was dropped to the floor. Coughing, I tried to catch my breath. I looked over at the monster and realized that someone was one his back with a knife pointed at his heart.

It was Kukai.

"Amu, run!"

The blonde guy flipped him over and then charged at me. However, Kukai got up and blocked his past with fierce determination.

"Amu, go! I got this!"

I couldn't let his sacrifice go in waste, so I nodded and ran.

I didn't know the way out, but I ran as fast as I could, following the major pathway and checking the large doors.

I can't find it.

Then, I felt someone place their hands on my shoulders firmly, stopping me in my tracts.

I yelped, turned around, and kicked the person in the shins.

"God! Amu, it's me" a familiar voice squeaked, kneeling down from the pain I inflicted on him.

Blue navy hair appeared when I opened my eyes.

"Ikuto?"
