Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Shugo Chara characters, but i do own the OC's used in this story which will be rare :3
Long elegant legs strode down the halls of 866 Guardians Military Base, the main base of The Embryo Brigade. The strides belonged to a young lady with long fuchsia hair that reached ¾ of the way down her back, long and fit body with the appropriate set of curves to her small like frame, and eyes of gold that seemed to still shine brightly, even in their darkest hour. She wore fitted washed off green capris, with a tan tank top, a loose washed off green military jacket that hung open, and straps hanging off her hips along multiple studded belts that had pockets attached them consisted of any necessities ranging from bullets to simple wires. She kept a 'cool and spicy' attitude in place for those who passed her down the hall, but truly inside, she was worried.
From behind her floated four little miniature figures known as her guardians; one in red a pink clothing; one in blue and light blue clothing; one with green and light green clothing; and the last with gold and yellow clothing. Their names were Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia. Ran seemed to be happily chatting away with Suu who seemed worried, wondering out loud why they were going where they were. Miki followed idly as she drew in her miniature drawing book, a picture of the Commander guardian which she was fond of, while Dia followed quietly, with a bright smile on her face.
The pink haired 18 year old girl wondered.. Exactly what did the Commander in chief want with her, as she walked through the dark eerie hall ways of the Embryo Brigade hidden under ground base? She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, the call seemed urgent, he seemed tense. She stopped once reaching a door which hid the view of her destination, and hesitated slightly to make sure she was ready for what ever he was about to put her up to.
Her guardians noticing this stopped also, looking at her in concern, Ran being the first to speak as her voice of encouragement "Go on Amu-chan… I'm sure it's nothing bad! Just think positive!"
"Yeah, I'm sure you want to see the Commander… We all know you have a slight crush on the kid," Miki said bluntly as she went back to drawing her picture, and ignored Amu protest.
"Calm down Amu-chan, I'm sure its nothing bad desu," Suu tried to voice her encouragement as Amu continued to try negate the possibilities of her liking the Commander.
Dia giggled on the side lines before she spoke up, "Amu-chan, if you don't stop I'm sure the Commander will hear us." Amu quickly shut her mouth, blushing brightly. She took a deep sigh, taking in their encouragement to calm down and recompose her self.
Once that task was completed, her hand on the knob, she opened the door entering the office; she closed the door behind her once all her guardians where in the room with her and bowed slightly to show some respect. "Commander Tsukiyomi, you requested me?"
A handsome boy, that seemed to be not even a couple years older than her stood from behind his desk, tall and lean body, built squared shoulder, fair ivory skin, with messy spiked out navy hair, and the darkest midnight blue eyes you could ever see, yet even in their darken glory they seemed to shine with warmth and comfort, well at least they looked that way when ever he would look at her. At the thought of that she blushed, just maybe he might be interested in her? But really she never knew with him. She had studied him closely before, aside from his cold and strict attitude to the usual soldiers, off the bat you would think he was a genius of the works of war and leadership, but he was a major prick. However it wasn't until she watched his eyes that she figured out that he learned well in hiding his emotions, yet despite all his efforts, his emotions would sometimes show in his eyes, and if it did, what ever it was that was on his mind was serious. Something was hidden with in those eyes at times she thought almost looked like longing, while other times even thought they usually showed a leader like quality representing wise aspects and formidable attributes, but there were often a child like demeanor hidden under those long dark eye lashes with a sense of the inner child was trapped, replaced with a mature leader.
She thought of the reason for this was that he was forced to grow up so quickly, she didn't know much about the Commander past but she expected it to be a dreadful one for him to be only age of 23 and have to lead the whole world into gaining peace and defeating Kuro Kakabel, the main enemy and his army.
However the one that stood before her was no longer a boy that she had grown to know since the years she had served under him. He looked troubled, tired, deflated and unsure; dark circles were forming under his eyes, and for once actually looked older than he was. A weak smirk played on his lips as he looked over her, "You came faster than I expected Amu."
She straightened up, blinking at his words; he hasn't called her by her first name in years. She frowned when taking in the way he looked, and she didn't know why but she just had say something that really wasn't her place to say. Slipping out of her 'cool and spicy' mode she crossed her arms, shuffled her weight to one foot to give a sort of slant posture as she started speaking in a sort of sarcastic tone, "Seems like someone has been avoiding sleep!" She gave him a strict look, her eyes narrowing, hardening, "You know, the reason you sleep is to regain energy that you have lost in your waking hours, along with the reason you eat... You seem thinner, starved… Have you been eating?! How do you expect to lead the army against Kuro Kakabel when you can't even function straight Satoshi?!" And yes she used his first name, to get the point across that she was being serious. He was always looking out for the well being of the world, but no one was looking out for his own well being…Well, someone has to look out for him, and she decided to take the job, even if it might be short lived.
From the corner of her eye she saw his own guardian pop up from behind his shoulder, it looked like a chibi version of him but he had wolf ears, wolf paws for hands and feet's, big golden eyes, and wolf tail to go along with him. He gave his wolf grin, teasing his master from her words, "I haven't heard any one talk to Sato like that in a long time!"
He blinked a few times, before he let a rough yet she thought the most amazing sound escape his lips, something that she had never heard before.. The Commander was laughing. It was now that she realized he had never laughed in any ones presence, and she wondered why he didn't. His guardian soon joined him, chuckling to him self. She blinked in amazement as he stopped, straightening up and smiled at her, actually a true genuine smile. She couldn't help but smile warmly back at him, her 'cool and spicy' exterior was long gone any ways.
He placed up his hands in defense grinning childishly, "Mah mah... You sound just like my mother!" He then flicked his guardian on the nose from his teasing which earned him a yelp from the wolf like creature.
"Wha-! That hurt Sato!" He gave a mock hurt whine at his master which was ignored.
"That is what you get for the tease Tsuki…" Sato responded coolly.
She quickly shook off her shock glaring at him slightly, her cheeks tinted pink from the light blush that gathered there, "Well your mother is right! You should listen to her more often!"
He nodded chuckling again, "Your right… I should listen to her more often…" She almost didn't catch it but when he said this, some kind of emotion shinned in his eyes, she couldn't name it really, but a slight fond smirk lifted on his lips. Tsuki looked at his friend as if in deep though before curling up on his shoulder, trying to give him his support, how ever Amu caught a slight smirk on the little guardian lips. A moment went by in silence before Sato gave her another smile then gestured her to the seat in front of his desk, and sat back on his own chair, shuffling his papers on his desk. "Don't worry, I have been keeping up with my sleep and have been eating every now and then... I just have... a lot on my mind..." Once getting his desk organized he propped his elbows on his desk, bringing his hands together while interlacing his fingers lazily, he brought them up in front of his face as his now steady gaze shifted to the occupant in the room which she was now sitting on the chair.
An elegant pink eye brow arched in question of what he meant. He shrugged it off and got straight to the point of why she was there, "I have a mission for you…a very important one, which could change the world as we know it. That is if you accept of course..
We have found a new solution to our problems; we have found a way to travel back in time. To make it blunt, I ne-want you, Lieutenant Hinamori to go back in time, find the Kuro Kakabel before he became Kira as you know was the public first called him, and eliminate him. If you can't find him, at least keep an eye out for the Embryo, you know that The Embryo was the key of his creation. If he gets his hands on that, your mission has failed, that is until you kill him."
There collected gasps from three of Amu guardians except for Miki, which just looked on to the Commander in confusion. At the same time Amu heart sunk. If she did this, she would never see the Commander- Sato again. She quickly pulled her self together for this and acted as professional as she could with out showing an inch of emotion. Well she failed in that, and continued on the shocked stage, "Wh-what… But... How? We don't know much about Kuro Kakabel and you want me to go back in time and assassinate him before he becomes that? We don't even know his real name! Also, why me? Why not send one of your sisters, or brother back in time? They could do a much better job than me-" before she could go on Satoshi cut in.
"Why not you? You are excellent in your work, and can be a very good strategist, aside from your clumsiness," Amu blushed in embarrassment, sending a slight glare at the Commander as he went on. "You're about as good as Lieutenant Yuiki but he is too lazy and a cry baby, just like his mother... If anyone can figure out who he is, and not get killed in the process would be you. And since you know that if we have a way to go back in time so does Kuro Kakabel."
He seemed to tense at this point, eyes narrowing as he gritted his teeth, while Tsuki let out a small growl. At the same time, the under meaning of the message had just processed through Amu mind, that means that-! Satoshi soon gave the affirmative that she was right, "I'm sure he will be sending his own assassins to prevent this assignment... if anyone can avoid them and do the task at hand, it would be you... And as for my siblings, they have their own duties here..." He paused looking slightly confrontational, but with him self. He then sighed as if he came to conclusion of what he was to say next, "Look if you don't want to do it, I will find another, you can reject if you wan-!"
She stood up abruptly grinning at the challenge, and at the fact that she just learned the commander had so much faith in her, she didn't want to let him down, even if this path would not let her be with him. She spoke with determination, "Of course I will do it! I wouldn't dream for any other mission!" Her 4 characters cheered for her, proud of her determination. But they quickly stopped when hearing the seriousness of her voice as she spoke again.
"However, I want to know one thing before I go..." She looked down at her hands for a few seconds as if debating if she should ask what was wanted to ask. She looked up at him in concern, studying him closely, "You know… you have always been so passionate about... Taking down Kuro Kakabel… I get that he has brought the world so much trouble and heart ache... But it seems like... you have your own personal vendetta against him... Did he do something to you personally?" She wanted to ask something more, but saw it useless, considering she would be taking the mission any ways.
He seemed to tense a little more before smirking, "Nothing gets past your all seen eyes now does it Amu? Hn..." He sighed, running a hand through his soft navy hair, as he leaned back on his chair, looking up as if remembering a memory, Tsuki shifted to sitting up on his hind legs now, looking at his master in surprise. "Yeah... You could say that I have a personal vendetta against him, for a few reasons other than what he has brought on to this world... First he took away my real father, the one I never grew to know… Then he killed my step father in cold blood, the father of my siblings when I was 12… Not only that, he yanked my childhood away from me because of this bloody war! And because…" His eyes narrowed as he glared at the ceiling when coming to the last statement, "Because, most of all... He took away the closest and most important person I have ever had in my life, the only person that was actually taking care of me, the one I felt safe with, the one that made sure that I was free to act like the kid I was... He killed my mother in front of me when I was 13... And for all that, I will make sure he dies by my hand!" He slammed his fist into the table, cracking it slightly, as Tsuki hair from his tail stuck up slightly, growling when feeling Sato feelings run through him.
Amu and her guardians jumped at the loud crack that resounded through the room before she shivered at his tone, this dark menacing aura that surrounded the Commander as he spoke his words, almost suffocating. It almost reminded her of… the one time she was near Kuro Kakabel, that same aura that she felt from only a block away from him; it was frightening to know that Satoshi could be the same way. She shrunk back slightly, getting the picture loud and clear of why Satoshi was so hung up in killing Kuro Kakabel. After a few moments he finally noticed her behavior and immediately backed off, the killing intent in the air decreased 10 folds. Frowning slightly he gave her a apologetic look, "Sorry... I got a little carried away..."
"N-no it's ok... I can understand now... Don't worry Sato... I will achieve this goal, and prevent Kuro Kakabel from taking the Embryo and seize his chance on existing... That way everyone, you especially can live normal lives, the way they should have…" She looked down, rethinking what he said before smiling slightly at her self and mumbled, deciding her self that the main reason for this mission is to make sure Sato and his family get to live a happy life, that he would get to be a kid and live with his mother and father, his real father. "It seems like I was right; you were forced to grow up too quickly... I'll ensure that it doesn't happen this time around..." With that she stood with a smirk. "I'm ready to commence the mission Commander Tsukiyomi!" He glanced up at her, smiling... Sadly? She couldn't really tell, as he nodded and stood to lead her to where she would depart. The rest of the way was a blur to her, she had one thing on her mind, the fact that she would never get to see him again. Walking beside him she looked on ahead with a blank look. Her guardians as this, and knew why she was acting like this, but didn't voice their opinions, not wanting to trouble the young commander.
They got to the location where the time traveling device was located. She looked up at the machine that represented the door to her new life. She watched silently as Satoshi got the machine ready, before jumping down from the control panel gracefully and smirking at Amu. She turned to look at him, not knowing the tears that had gathered in her eyes. "I... I guess this is goodbye Commander…" It seemed like letting go was much harder than she thought.
However Satoshi caught this before frowning slightly. He walked towards her calmly, catching her breath hitching when he reached out and tenderly whipped away a tear that she had just shed. His fingers tenderly ran across her cheek slowly, giving it a gentle caress as he spoke softly, "Don't cry Amu… It doesn't suit you..."
She quickly averted her eyes from him, looking down at her feet, trying to hide the blush she had consumed. Great, she was crying, in front of the man she grew very fond of, had a crush on, and would do anything for him, even go back in time in order for him to live a better life… Wait... did this mean she loves him. Rgh, of course she realizes this when she has to leave. Next thing she knew, her body reacted to this new feeling with out knowing, taking the first step, and suddenly wrapping her arms around him, hugging him tightly.
Satoshi was taken slightly by surprise, blinking at first at her sudden movement, before smiling slightly and returning the hug. He knew she needed the comfort, and he would give it to her any way he could. He felt her shoulders shake, as his shirt started to become damp, she was crying. He arched an eye brow, wondering why? However he quickly pushed it aside saying softly, "I truly am sorry Amu… Again, if you don't want to accept the mission I will send some one else-"
"No!" her voice was barely a whisper, but it spoke volumes of her state right now. "I will do it… It's just… hard saying goodbye… especially to you…" Her guardian characters watched the scene with a fond smile, knowing how much this means to their friend, as Tsuki watched on with confusion.
A thin graceful navy eye brow rose slightly, his hand running slow and smooth circles around her back for comfort, "And why is that…?"
She looked up at him, golden puffy eyes clouded with tears, as she spoke, "S-Since... I met you… Since you saved me from the attack in my town, I have always held a high respect for you… And as time grew by… and I got to know you better… This feeling I had for you... grew…" She looked away slightly trying to find the courage to confess her true feelings. Satoshi just kept looking down at her in confusion. She shut her eyes tightly, willing her self to do what she was about to do next. "I guess this should answer your question!" Her eyes opened suddenly, filled with determination, as her arms slipped from around Sato chest, to his neck, and she stood on her toes, reaching up and enveloped his lips with her own and locking them in a passionate kiss. Satoshi froze slightly in shock, eyes widened, he didn't give a response at first.
However in the next moment, he let him self respond, he would comfort her like this if she wanted. He wrapped his arms around her waist while pulling her closer, deepening the kiss, his eyes closing softly. It was a tender farewell kiss, filled with so much passion from Amu end, as Sato returned it for comfort. After for what seemed to eternity for them, Amu reluctantly let go, a deep blush of embarrassment staining her cheeks.
"Go-Goodbye Commander Tsukiyomi," She tore her self away from him and ran to the door of the time machine, opening it and running in, Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia following in with her. She spared a glance at the still shocked Commander with Tsuki floating to him, also looking at them in shock, before closing the door and sighing. Did she really just do that?!
"Wow! That was great Amu-chan!" Ran cheered from behind her.
"Didn't think you had the guts to do that…" Miki said bluntly, as she started to draw again.
"I guess Amu-chan prove you wrong Miki-chan desu!" Suu giggled.
"You did well Amu-chan..." Dia last commented. Amu smiled softly at the thought that he actually responded. Did this mean he actually had feeling for her too? A girly giggle escaped her lips, before a sad smile took its place on her lips. She looked up at the ceiling of the machine, thinking of the fact that she was leaving this chance behind. Because of this she almost opted out on going back in time and instead staying with him, by his side. Then she reminded her self the main reason she was doing this, so everyone could live happily, and so Satoshi could once again be happy. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes softly.
"This is for you… Tsukiyomi Satoshi…" She said softly, before opening her eyes, her golden eyes brimming with tears of happiness. "To ensure your happiness… Goodbye, I love you…" The little room they were encased in was filled with violent winds. The 4 guardians quickly grabbed a hold of Amu, making sure they weren't taken by the wind, as Amu shielded her self as she could, her hair dancing in the wind madly. As the winds became fiercer a bright light formed under them, slowly carving an inscription from the ground. Once the circle of the inscription was connected, the room was engulfed in blinding bright light. It was the last thing Amu saw before everything went black.
