"Well, I'd better confront the boys on what happened to them, they weren't acting like they normally did. What if he already got to them?"

"Shh…calm down, we'll get through this, okay?" Amu soothed him again. Ikuto sighed and kissed her.

"What would I do without you?" Ikuto sighed against her lips.

"Be miserable and continue being like a cat?" Amu raised an eyebrow. Ikuto chuckled.

We'll get through this. We know we can.

(Natsumi's POV)

We finished the movie marathon that night and Mina, Kaho and Megumi stayed over that night along with Jun, Kei and Kaname, why Kei stayed I have no idea but hey, I'm not one to pry unless necessary. I couldn't help but think about the way dad reacted after he asked who Kei was. The other girls were talking idly sprawling themselves on my mattress-covered floor and I was just looking at the floor thinking about what could be wrong.

"What's wrong, Natsumi?" Mina looked at me curiously tilting her head to the side.

"I-I dunno… I mean, did you see the look in my dad's eyes?" I said with a frown. Kaho nodded in agreement.

"And also the guilt and slight nervousness the guys tried to hide in their eyes." Kaho said quietly.

"They seem a bit distant too." Megumi said thoughtfully.

"What do you think is going on you guys?" I asked, feeling a bit concerned.

"I have no idea, but if we try asking your dad, he's not gonna tell us, I'm sure." Mina said with a small frown.

"True, and if we ask the guys, they're just gonna make up a lie again…" Megumi added.

We all groaned in unison except Megumi.

"Well then, let's just take matters into our own hands, we'll force it out of the guys, blackmail them if we have to." Megumi snickered and we all looked at her incredulously.

"Seriously?" Kaho sweatdropped.

"Worth a shot." Mina said with a shrug.

"Let's go then." Megumi smirked and we all stood up heading towards Ryuu's room. I knocked quietly on the door, the girls right behind me.

"Ryuu?" I knocked and heard nothing. I frowned and pushed open the door. "Ryu—" My eyes widened when I didn't see them there. "They're not here…" I mumbled and the other girls spread through the house trying to look for them while trying to be quiet to make sure they didn't wake my parents.

We all met at the front door. "I can't find them." Mina said.

"Neither can I." Kaho said worriedly.

"Same here." Megumi added. I sighed trying not to panic.

"Okay, don't panic, we're just gonna have to find them. They have to come back eventually, right?" I blew out a breath.

"Right." Mina agreed. "Hey… I just remembered something, remember when we were playing up in your attic 2 years ago?" She asked. I frowned.

"Yeah, why?" I asked confused. Mina grinned grabbing our hands. "Come on!"

"How can you possibly think about going up to the attic when we have to go find the guys!" Megumi asked incredulously.

"Just follow me…" Mina rolled her eyes and got up to the attic. She went straight towards an old wardrobe opening it and searching through it.

"What are you looking for?" Kaho asked, sweatdropping.

"Ah! Here they are~" Mina sang and pulled out four black outfits. Natsumi, Megumi and Kaho gaped at the costumes.

"No… way. I can't believe they have these!" Megumi gaped.

"Damn mom, why did you not tell me about these." Natsumi laughed quietly.

"Oh my god." Kaho mumbled. "You're gonna make us wear these, aren't you." Kaho said as more of a statement then a question and Mina nodded, smirking.

"They look just like spy costumes, it'll be awesome!" Mina squealed quietly.

We all looked at each other and shrugged.

In the end, Mina got her mom, Utau's costume, Megumi got Natsuya's, Kaho got Tara's while I got aunt Rima's. I was surprised it fit me considering she was kind of small but I shrugged it off.

"We look hot!" Megumi squealed and Kaho and I sweatdropped. Mina giggled.

"Come on, we should go… now." I said and we all grabbed our cellphones. "If we see any of them, we call each other and tell where they are or where they are heading, if none of us are close by, we'll try to get there quickly but the one girl who spotted them has to follow them. Got it?" I said looking at them and they all nodded. We snuck outside quietly making sure not to wake my parents and split up.

(Kaho's POV)

All of us split up and honestly, I was a little scared. I mean, who wouldn't be? The most important guys in our lives are off somewhere doing god knows what, what if they're in trouble? My thoughts were running wild as I walked through the park warily. It was quiet and nobody else was outside at the time, it was as if I was walking straight into a danger zone or as if I'm in a horror movie, the victim caught alone, and killed. I shuddered at the thought.

"Okay Kaho, calm down, maybe they're not in trouble, maybe they just went for a walk? Oh who am I kidding…" I whispered to myself. I heard faint footsteps nearby and my head whipped towards the sound. I caught four figures creeping into the bank and my eyes widened. "No way…" I mumbled to myself and walked closer, yet cautiously hiding behind the fence of the gates to the park.

The four figures were hissing something to themselves, but I couldn't make it out. They seemed to be arguing about something and when I got closer, I saw Kaname's obvious purple hair and also Ryuu's very noticeable red hair. I covered my mouth in shock as they entered the bank without the alarm going off and I frantically got my phone out pressing speed dial to Natsumi and went conference Megumi and Mina.

"I found them. They're by the bank, they actually snuck in, what the hell?" I hissed.

"What!" They all chorused and I had to pull the phone away from my ear.

"I'm serious, they all just snuck into the bank." I mumbled.

"We'll try and get there soon, follow them!" Natsumi said and we all hung up.

"Oh god…" I moaned quietly to myself and came out from behind the tree running as silently as I could in these boots Mina put me in. I knew if I took the front door the alarm would go off, the guys must've done something to the alarm but I couldn't take any chances. I groaned silently looking at the air vent in the side of the building. "Okay…" I mumbled and climbed the ladder slipping into the air vent. It made an echo as I landed and I cringed. I got on my hands and knees and crawled as quietly as I could. I stopped for a bit texting the others.

Don't try contacting me; I'm in the fricking ventilation shaft.

It was the only way to get in without the alarm triggering.

See you in a bit. – xxKaho

I bit my lip and sighed silently before continuing to crawl through the shaft. I heard whispers nearby and knew it was them. I found the opening and looked through the gaps. I didn't see them but I could definitely hear them. I grunted quietly as I lifted the opening quietly putting it next to me and poked my head down. I looked around seeing the camera sway from side to side of the room and I swallowed. What if this thing has lasers! I thought wide-eyed and thought of the only way I could to find lasers. I blew out a breath and my eyes widened as I saw a red line appear in front of me. Once the first line appeared, all of them did and I almost collapsed at how many there were. I told myself to calm down. I gazed back down to the lasers and planned my way to get around them, I was thankful for the pipes on the ceiling and carefully let my feet down first jumping to grab onto the pipe. I looked down and closed my eyes still hearing their voices in the next room.

I swung carefully back and forth and let go of the pipe landing by the door gasping when I saw another laser moving in front of me, I chose the right time to move before I went through supporting myself against the wall. "God…" I whispered to myself. I pushed myself off the wall and walked towards their whispering voices peeking around the wall and seeing Jun stuff money into a bag while the others were tossing the money to him. I couldn't help the gasp that came out of my mouth and their heads all whipped towards me, my eyes widened and I swallowed. Jun dropped the bag and my mouth parted slightly in shock. "Kaho." Jun mumbled. I was fighting myself not knowing what to say.

"Oh shit. Busted." Kei muttered.

"H-How… why the fu—hell are you…" I couldn't even finish my sentence and I didn't know whether I was mad, or scared.

"K-Kaho, you have to understand…" I cut Kaname off.

"Understand what?" I hissed. "That you're stealing money from the fricking bank!" I turned to walk away before I realized the lasers were still on. When the guys still thought I was leaving, they were all quick to grab me. I struggled in their arms. "Get… off of me!" I grumbled but they didn't put me down.

"Not until you promise to listen to us." Ryuu said with authority and I sighed, irritated. "Fine." I mumbled and they put me down making me sit on the bags of money.

"Remember when we got separated from you girls?" Kaname started and Kaho nodded, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Well we were… kidnapped you could say." Kei said. "I wasn't with these guys at the time, but I met them when we woke up in Easter Company." He muttered and Kaho's eyes widened.

"Easter? They're behind this? But isn't Ryuu's grandfather in charge of it? Why does this involve you?" Kaho asked.

"Let us finish, when we woke up and tried to escape, these scientists or something made us go to the president's office." Jun added. Kaho's eyes widened remembering a few hours ago when she saw Ryuu's dad yell about his father not being in charge of Easter anymore.

"What happened to Aruto-san?" Kaho asked and as they were about to answer, all the guys got shocked and they cried out in pain. Kaho stood up suddenly leaning over all of them worriedly. "You guys, what's wrong?"

"God… damn it." Kei gritted his teeth. "That. Stupid chip." He muttered through his teeth.

"Kaho...!" I heard whispers and I was pulled into a hug. "Natsumi…" I turned my head realizing who hugged me. "Quick, we need to help them!" I whispered and Natsumi went to Kaname, Mina went to Ryuu, Megumi went to Kei while I went to Jun. "What is going on…?" I whispered trying to figure out a way to stop the pain in him. "That damn chip Kazuomi planted in us…" Jun muttered trying to stop himself from screaming. "It shocks us either when we're too far away from each other or if we're about to say something stupid, when you mentioned Aruto, he shocked us." He gritted out and the shock stopped while the guys sighed in relief.

(Normal POV)

The girls helped stand the guys up and Mina frowned. "Can he see you guys?" She mouthed to Ryuu and he looked confused shaking his head. Mina grinned getting a notebook and a pen out. "Write what happened." Mina mouthed again and Ryuu's eyes widened as he ruffled her hair and grinned grabbing the pen writing quickly.

About my grandfather, he's kept somewhere in the building of Easter Company, the vice president, or now president forced him to hand over the company and made himself the president, his name is Kazuomi. As for the chips that Kei was talking about, they implanted them in the back of our necks so they could hear our every move and give us shocks if we do anything that could risk Kazuomi getting into trouble or if we're too far apart from each other. Ryuu wrote and showed the other girls.

"I can't believe you got yourselves into this sort of trouble." Megumi sighed.

"We couldn't help it, they're the ones who caught us." Kei grumbled hiding his temper.

"We have to do this… if we don't, who knows what they're going to do to Ryuu and Natsumi's grandfather." Kaname said, his arms wrapped around Natsumi's waist.

All the girls exchanged an uneasy look with each other not really liking the idea of them stealing from the bank but knew it had to happen if they didn't want anything to happen to Aruto, to them, Aruto was a grandfather to all of them, not only Ryuu and Natsumi.

"Alright." Natsumi sighed, defeated. Kaname suddenly grabbed her tighter and the other guys did the same with the girls.

"What are you doing..!" Mina gasped and the guys couldn't let go.

"I don't know! We can't… move!" Ryuu grunted trying to remove his arms from around Mina. The boys all heard a dark chuckle.

"I have your next assignment boys." Kazuomi's voice came through the boys' heads. Kaname's eyes widened.

"I can't believe you're making us do this, leave them out of this." Kaname growled.

"Oh I don't think so, you're going to bring them here or else we'll hurt your grandfather." Kazuomi threatened.

"Who are you really going for!" Kei snapped.

"Who do you think? The next heir to Easter." They could all hear the smirk in his voice and Ryuu growled.

"Stay away from my family." Ryuu said with a dead calm expression on his face still holding onto Mina.

"You really think I would listen to you? Pathetic." And then he was gone.

"I'm so sorry…" Kaname mumbled in Natsumi's ear and picked her up swinging her over her shoulder as she gasped. When Natsumi looked up, she saw the girls were in the same situation and she could see the fear in their eyes. Even Megumi who was normally quite fierce or strong in these situations had a lot of fear in her eyes and she could only imagine how scared Kaho might be. Mina didn't have much emotion on her face; Natsumi knew she was trying to hide her fear.

Morning came and back at the Tsukiyomi house, Amu had woken up in Ikuto's arms. She smiled and tried to get up and out of the bed but Ikuto had gripped onto her tighter. "Mou Ikuto…" Amu puffed her cheeks out and Ikuto held onto her tighter.

"I don't wanna be alone in bed~" He whined and Amu couldn't help the giggle that escaped her mouth.

"Come on, it's Christmas day, the kids should be awake by now I'm sure and I think Utau, Kukai, Rima, Nagihiko, Natsuya, Katsuki, Tara and Skye will be here soon." Amu smiled, her fingers running through his midnight blue hair. Ikuto sweatdropped.

"You didn't have to name all of them." He chuckled and Amu shrugged blushing slightly.

"Come on." She smiled and got off the bed, Ikuto whining in protest but she just giggled.

Amu walked towards the girls' room first knocking on the door gently. "Girls… you guys awake?" She pushed open the door and saw they weren't there. She frowned and thought they may have gone to the boys' room. Ikuto walked towards her kissing her cheek as he met her outside the boys' door.

"Where are the girls?" He asked.

"I'm not sure, they weren't in Natsumi's room." Amu frowned and Ikuto blinked pushing open the boys' door and seeing they weren't there.

"Shit." Ikuto's jaw clenched. "He's already got to them." He gritted out.

"Ikuto, what are you talking about?"

"Kazuomi, he already got them and he has the girls." Amu's eyes widened and she picked up the phone putting everyone on conference.

"Hello?" A chorus of echoes rang through her eats and she swallowed nervously.

"You guys need to get over here. Our kids are in trouble."
