MY ARMS GET COLD IN FEBRUARY AIR.

It wasn't every day that the cat got away from everything. By everything, the cat meant everything, school, Easter, everyone that wanted something from him. Ikuto, was a strong person, that much was known about him. He took so much in and hardly had any time for himself, but Ikuto knew all of that. The cat knew what he was, and he was not free. No matter how much he ran from what was going on, he couldn't ever truly escape it. Ikuto opened his eyes as his movement stopped at such a thought. Why was that there?

He had never thought in such a way. It didn't matter if he was trapped by Easter now, he wanted to be free, and he would be. "Ikuto, nya~ what are you thinking about?" Yoru's voice made its way to the cat's sensitive ears. Blue orbs found there way to the small chara. Yoru tilted his head at the expression within the male's eyes. Normally he could read Ikuto a bit better but the look in his eyes was almost to hard to figure out. "Ikuto?" Yoru asked again. Ikuto let his eyes move away from the chara as he started moving once more through the darkening streets.

Ikuto's eyes remained on the sidewalk in front of him in their normal downcast position. Yoru floated up quickly behind him. His tail flicked absent-mindedly as he waited for some answer from Ikuto. He would answer him wouldn't he? The small chara hoped so, he hated when Ikuto left him out. That was what it felt like when he didn't answer him, Yoru wouldn't admit that half the time Ikuto did leave him out he forgot about the whole situation. This time, he wouldn't. He floated in front of Ikuto causing the male to stop in his pace once more.

"Ikuto, why wont you answer me, nya." the cat chara asked once more. Ikuto looked at Yoru a moment before starting to walk around his chara. "It's nothing you need to be worried about Yoru." his monotone voice spoke in soft whispers. Ikuto really didn't want to talk about the thoughts that had gone through his head. He knew very well the possibilities that were there, but he also knew that the future was always changeable no matter what anyone said, or how tight Easter's grip on him was. That was what he was going to believe, no matter what.

Yoru seemed content with the answer given and floated beside him as he once again started moving through the city. It was only a few moments later that a new thought crossed the chara's mind. "Ikuto, where are we going, nya?" Yoru asked. Ikuto couldn't help but sigh. He knew Yoru was curious, it was just who the chara was, but every once in a while, Ikuto just stayed quiet. He hoped to teach Yoru patience, but so far the chara didn't seem to be catching on. Ikuto didn't want to make the small chara upset though, so he eased the chara just this once.

"The old amusement park." he spoke. It wasn't long after he had said such words that his legs brought him to the destination. His eyes glanced up from the ground as they took in the run down place. He didn't know why this place had been one of the more recent stops lately. It just sort of had that presence to the cat. Yoru floated beside Ikuto seemingly content for now. Ikuto continued further into the place, as a bit of snow started to fall from the sky at the recent cold weather. Once he got deep within the place he pulled his violin case from his shoulder.

Ikuto silently and quickly undid the side of the case opening it. There laid his father's violin as it always did. Ikuto gingerly pulled it out with the up-most caution as he stood up straight once more. It had been a while since he had last played. He put the instrument to his chin resting it there for a moment. He took in the surroundings once more before his blue orbs disappeared behind closed lids. And there, even as snow fell the cat began his tune.

[‡ Kotone Sakura]

and my heart's not breaking

'cause i'm not feeling anything at all

She had been practically sent to look for him. Why had she been the one sent to look? Well, because she could be the most inconspicuous. But she was not just sent to look; she was sent to investigate. Being able to easily hide who she was amongst people with a simple Character Change, Sakura was the most ideal spy when it came to following around a certain little stray that liked to go off and do his own thing. She didn't care whether he got in trouble; in fact, it might prove good, because it meant that Utau might get in trouble. However, she was also genuinely curious. She knew Ikuto liked to avoid Utau, which meant that there might be something in their relationship. Well, no, Sakura couldn't really blame him; that girl was a clingon from hell, for crying out loud. Even Sakura cringed at the way she acted around Ikuto; as Tsuyoshi's younger sister, even she wasn't that bad. She wouldn't dare cling on to her older brother; she was an independent woman, and ironically younger than Utau. That girl needed to find herself something better, and fast. "Unbelievable. Where in the hell is he going?" Sakura asked as she followed, from quite a ways back, to wherever Ikuto was going. She was disguised as an athletic teenage girl, with blonde hair flowing to her mid-back and dressed in slacks and a long-sleeved shirt. Or, well, that was what she appeared to be wearing. In reality... She was already in her Heartless Fiend transformation, Divine Providence at the ready as she disguised herself using White Illusion. A difficult ability, to say the least, and to this degree it required Character Transformation. Kohaku was within her, apparently comfortable with her position. Still following Ikuto, she noted that he went to the abandoned amusement park... How quaint. A good place to hide, nonetheless... And she would be bound to take advantage of that. But at the same time... She wanted to know how well Ikuto could hold his own, too. If he could hold well, she wouldn't say a damn thing about his hiding spot. Actually, she probably wouldn't say anything at all, not if she could use him to bring Utau down. Now that would be useful... As Ikuto began to play the violin, Sakura released her White Illusion, hiding in the shadow of the merry-go-round. She was well-hidden in her dark clothing, but once he'd played for a while, she took that opportunity to step out of the shadows from behind him. She wasn't sure if he noticed, but he would soon know she was there, because she wasn't about to sneak up on him. No, she would be a bit nicer... this time. "Well, well, well. So this is where the little stray likes to hang out, now is it? How quaint, and for you to be indulging in such tunes, too... It makes me want to dance, though I find it's not nearly fast-paced enough. Perhaps we should... Step up the beat a little, Ikuto?" Her voice was cold, devoid of emotion, and her eyes were like crystals of ice. As she spoke, she twirled her weapon, easiliy moving the staff in her hands like it were a baton. He would be in for a surprise, that's for sure... "Tell you what, little kitten. Show me what you can do, and I won't have to kick you over the fence and sell you out to Kazuomi-sama." A promise from the tongue of a snake, to say the least, but Ikuto would certainly not escape this. No... She would not let him escape without a conflict. She felt that growing hunger to fight brewing within her... And boy, did it feel good.

MY ARMS GET COLD IN FEBRUARY AIR.

At first, the cat didn't realize he was being followed. Normally he was never followed instead Easter called him, or Nikaido would find his way to him on his own. That man made him so mad, he hated being around him, let alone thinking about him. So he tried to keep him as far out of his mind as he could, him and the rest of easter. Especially the people that worked for them because they felt like it. Ikuto couldn't stand them, or really anyone that tried to tell him what to do.

Ikuto didn't have a right to say anything though. They could live however they wanted, since well that was what he wanted, freedom. And he would get it, didn't matter how long it took, he would get what he wanted, it was why he was looking for the embryo, not for Easter.. but.. for them. For anyone that was caught into this mess because of him. For Utau, and for Tadase.. and for him. Ikuto didn't really pay attention to his surroundings when he was playing. However, he did hear the slight noise of her movement. That was his increased senses kicking in he guessed. They saved him more often than he would like to admit himself.

When she spoke it was no surprise to him and he let the notes stop unfinished. "Exactly what do you want Sakura." he said emotionless. It was normal for any talk he had with anyone that was a part of Easter. His eyes moved to her as he let his violin drop from his chin and to his side. Ikuto knew her well, so he really didn't need to ask what she wanted. He was pretty sure he knew all ready. She wanted a fight, she ALWAYS wanted a fight. It was as if the blonde lived for them, Ikuto on the other hand despised them.

Ikuto listened to her comments not really feeling a need to respond to them. Yoru floated from behind him to float above his left shoulder, taking in Sakura. "Nya.. do you live to follow us around and cause trouble?" he mewed his input, showing that he really didn't like Sakura as much as Ikuto didn't. At her words he looked at Ikuto, knowing that Ikuto wouldn't, or rather couldn't back down from Sakura. Ikuto knew her to well to know she wouldn't let him. So, there was only one choice really.

"Yoru." he said softly. The cat floated over as Ikuto put a hand in his pocket feeling the Dumpty Key within his pocket. "My heart, Unlock." he said silently to himself as he took on his own Character Transformation, and gained once more the feeling and power of Black Lynx. It was only a moment later that Ikuto appeared as his transformed state his eyes moving to Sakura. He had no intention of running. Though, he really didn't want to fight, he had no qualms about fighting Sakura with everything he had. He would not hold back against her as he did for X-Eggs and the Guardians.
