Chapter 1: My old friend that hates me

Nagihiko's PoV

It's that old dream again. I jerked up with a scream as the dream ended. I wiped my forehead that is now filled with sweat and head towards the shower. As I let the warm water flow to my body, images of that dream reappeared in my head again.

"If I can only act as a boy back then…" I sighed and finished showering.

I changed into my school uniform along with the guardian cape. I remembered Tsukasa told us that there will be a new student and she had two eggs that were still unhatched. I packed my bag with the notebooks and writing utensils I need and last but not the least, Temari and Rhythm's egg.

"Are you alright, Nagihiko?" Temari asked gently.

"Nagi, it's the first day of a new grade! Let's make it into a cool year of school!" Rhythm cheered.

"A-ah…" I replied and stood up.

I went to the dining room and eat with mother. I stared at my food not even bothering on touching it. Mother noticed it and looked at me seriously.

"Nagihiko, is something troubling you?" Mother asked and I shook my head.

"I just don't feel hungry right now." I fib. "I gotta go to school now, see you later!"

"Have a good day in school!"

I walked out of the house and saw the other guardians waiting for me. Amu already knows about my real identity. At first, she got mad because I lied to her for a long time but she eventually forgives me. We're not as close as before now that I'm a guy but we're still friends, which is a good thing. We start walking towards the school while gossiping about the new student.

"I heard she's a smart girl." Tadase, the king's chair said.

"Eh! Yaya heard she's really mean though!" Yaya, the ace's chair retorted.

"Well, we'll figure it out once we meet her." I smiled at them.

"You just want to get another female friend that's it, right?" Rima, the queen's chair answered coldly.

"Rima!" Amu, our joker's chair, quickly called. "Just ignore what she said Nagihiko."

"It's alright. I want her to be a friend after all." I admitted and they all laughed.

"We're the first ones who are going to meet her in the Tsukasa's office." Tadase coaxed and we all listened. "Let's be nice to her and maybe, she'll join us too."

"Yoshi!" We all answered and entered the school.

We all walked straight to Tsukasa's office and saw a girl with purple hair tied in low twin ponytails. She's already wearing the school uniform. For some reason I was too nervous to see her. Probably because she's new.

"Ah, they're here." Tsukasa's voice announced and she stood up with her hands clenched.

She turned around and I can't help but think that she look too familiar. Her crimson eyes seem to be burning in anger and it was directed towards me.

"I'm Tachibana Hikari, 12 years old." She introduced and approached me.

I gulped as she got near and I received a loud slap in the face. I looked at her as everybody even Tsukasa gasped. I was about to speak when she walked away to the door.

"Thanks for leaving me alone when we were young… Nagi –, no, Nadeshiko." She said and left.

"She knows?!" The others gawked at Tsukasa and me.

"Nagihiko, would you care to explain this?" Tsukasa asked politely.

Suddenly the dream rewinded itself in my head. I told everyone who she is based on the dream I had.

~~Flashback~~

It was 7 years ago. I met her in the park where she watches people play sports. I was still pretending as Nadeshiko back then but she immediately noticed that something's wrong.

"You're a boy, why are you dressed like a girl?" She asked when I sat down.

"W-what do you mean?" I stuttered with my female voice. "I'm a girl."

"Lie all you want, it was obvious anyways."

"S-so?" I sweat dropped and let my male voice take over. "That was rare. Nobody noticed it before."

"Make your voice a little softer." She advised then smiled at me. "Your voice is too hard it makes it pretty obvious."

"Okay." I said in my female voice, now softer. "Eh! You're right!"

"Told ya." She grinned and sat beside me. "I'm Hikari but you can call me Kari-chan." She extended her hand to me and I gladly shook it.

"I'm Nadeshiko, well in this form at least." I replied. "My real name is Nagihiko."

"Nice name. Both of it." She complimented. "So, why the girl get up?"

"Family tradition." I summed up.

"Are you having fun doing it though?"

"Uhm." I looked at the sky and smiled. "I loved it. I love dancing traditional Japanese dance but girls are the only ones who can do it so our family does this tradition so we can all dance it."

"Eh! Can I watch you dance?!" She requested with sparkle attack.

"Sure!" I agreed and we both go to my house.

We arrived in my house with her gasping on how big it is. Baaya greeted us and offered some tea. When my mom come out she greeted Hikari and let her watch me dance. It made me even happier to dance when she was cheering on me.

"Amazing!" She flattered. "I wish I could be as graceful as you are…"

"Arigatou, Kari-chan." I thanked with my female voice. "You are graceful in your way too."

We became friends for a long time then one time, a bunch of 7th graders picked on her.

"Nagi! Help me!" She cried.

"Let her go!" I yelled still in my Nadeshiko mode. I balled my fists ready to fight then until one of them spoke.

"Heh, you're a girl. Girls don't fight!" One of the boys spat out.

I stopped on my tracks and frowned. If I fight, I won't be a girl. I looked at Hikari who is still begging for help and crying. I looked down and let a few tears flow down my face.

"I'm sorry, Kari-chan…" I sobbed and ran away.

"Nagi…" She faltered and yelled. "I hate you! You're not a real friend."

I continued running and when I reached home I locked myself in my room crying in guilt of what I've done.

'If I was only allowed to act like a boy… I had definitely protected you.' I thought to myself.

The next day, I saw her sitting on one of the benches on the basketball court. I hurriedly run towards her and tried to hug her only to be pushed away. I looked at her with pained eyes but I only received a glare.

"I hate you." She said with a very angry tone. "I wish you just didn't come to my life."

"Kari-chan…" I tried to respond but she cut me off.

"Don't call me Kari-chan! My friends are the only ones who can call me that." She screamed.

"But… aren't we friends?" I asked nervously.

'I don't want to lose a friend… I don't want this.'

"After you left me there all beaten up you really think I'll just let that pass?" She scoffed and stood up. "We're not friends anymore. I don't want to see you ever again."

'I don't want this…'

"But, Hikari-chan!" I called out.

"I hate you, for all eternity." She spoke venomously, I stepped back.

'Please… I don't want to lose a friend…'

~~End Flashback~~

"Ever since then, I never saw her until now." I admitted.

"I'm sure it will work out sooner or later." Tadase tried to comfort but I shrug it off.

"I wish…" I muttered and looked at the door.

If I was only allowed to act like a boy back then… I had definitely protected you.
