Hey people of fanfiction. It's me again with a new story, yay. I just hope it doesn't interfere with my other story. But come on I'm a newbie so I'm still getting used to this. Anyway, I hope you like it and I don't own Shugo Chara.
(Amu's POV)
"Wahhhhhh" my newborn little sister Ami cried. My mama had only given birth to her a week ago. Right now I was trying to make her stop crying and go to sleep by rocking her in my arms. My papa was working and mama was still tired from giving birth to her so I had to do it. But I didn't mind, she's my sister after all and I love her.
My name is Hinamori Amu and I am 9 years old. I have pink hair and golden eyes. I would be working with my papa in the mines right now but I have to take care of my sister. I know what you're thinking, I'm too young to work in the mines but it's not anything hard. All I do is help them carry things around and what I carry isn't that heavy, well most of the time. I also help my mother when she works in people's houses around the village. All we do there is cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, just the basic stuff. I go to school but sometimes I miss a day or two to help my parents. But I guess the reason now would be to take care of Ami.
Everyone in school refers to me as the cool and spicy Hinamori Amu. They say that because I basically work two grown up jobs and because I stand up for the kids that are getting picked on. But that really isn't me. I only work those jobs to help my family with money. And I only help those kids because I don't like seeing kids getting bullied. I'm really just a normal girl. I like cute things and I get hurt easily too. But I have to live with this outer character for now. I just wish people could see me for who I really am one day.
With all my thinking I didn't realize I started singing and Ami was now fast asleep. I smiled at my sleeping little sister. She had brown hair, just like mama and papa, and I think papa said she had golden eyes like all of us. I really don't understand where I got my pink hair from but I like it this color. I put her down in her crib and headed for the kitchen to make soup for dinner. I grabbed my stool and stepped on it since I was too short to reach the counter. Then I climbed on top of it and opened the cabinet to take out a pot and put it on the stove. I got water and put it in the pot and turned on the stove. While the water heated I got the things I needed to make the soup.
"Amu-chan let me make the soup." My mama walked in the kitchen and started chopping the vegetables.
"But I want to help mama."
"Why don't you start making Ami's food then?" She said coming down to my level. "Okay"
Ami's food is pretty simple. All it is is just squashed veggies and fruits. While me and mama were cooking papa came into the room.
"Mmm, something smells good."
"Hi papa, how were the mines?"
"Lonely without my little sparrow."
"Papa…" I said with a sweat drop.
"At least your home safe sweaty." My mama said walking up to my papa and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then we all heard crying.
"Papa, can you finish making Ami's food while I go take care of her?" I asked and papa took over. Before I got out of the kitchen my mama said something to me.
"Amu, you really love your sister don't you?"
"Of course I do." Then I left. I headed to my room because Ami's crib was in there. My parents wanted her to be in their room but I begged them to let her stay in my room. That way if she woke up I would be there to take care of her.
I went into the room and up to her crib and I put her in my arms. I started bouncing lightly and swaying side to side while singing her a song. She still wouldn't stop crying though, then I smelled her bottom. Oh dear God, yep that's the problem. I put her back in her crib and went to my closet to get the stuff I needed to change her diaper. And yes, I know how to change diapers. I set the blanket on the desk and got Ami and laid her down there and started to change her diaper. When I was done she stopped crying. I got a white blanket and raped it around me to make a pouch that can fit Ami. I use it when I work in people's houses so that I could take care of Ami and still move freely. It's surprising how much I could do when in reality it's only a blanket.
I went to the dining room, which is also the kitchen and living room, to set the table. Mama put the food on the table we all sat down to eat.
"Amu let me feed Ami this time." I handed Ami to my mama and we ate with the occasional small talks here and there.
When we finished mama and papa headed to my room to put Ami to sleep. I started to clean the table and I saw something shiny under it. I picked it up and saw that it was my mama's locket. When you open it you see a picture of my mama in bed holding Ami and me and papa sitting on both sides of her. That picture was taken on the day that Ami was born by my neighbor. I smiled at that picture, it's the first family photo we have with Ami.
"It's yours if you want it." My mama said.
"Really?"
"Take it. It looks so much better on you." She said putting it on me. Then I turned around and gave her kiss on the cheek.
"C'mon it's your bedtime too." We walked too my room and papa was carrying Ami in his arms. Then he put her in her crib soundly asleep. Then we went to my bed and they tucked me in. They kissed my forehead and started to leave.
"I love you Mama. I love you Papa." I said before they got out the door.
"We love you too Amu." Then they left and I drifted off to sleep.
I started to feel hot, really hot, and there was a little bit of light and Ami was crying. I opened my eyes and saw that parts of the room were on fire. My eyes shout open and I went to my closet which thankfully wasn't on fire. I grabbed a bag and filled it with clothes and blankets. I got another bag and filled it with Ami's things. Then I got the blanket and put Ami in it and carried the bags in my hands. I put one bag down and grabbed the doorknob but quickly let go of it. It was burning hot.
Then the door flew open and my mama and papa came into the room and hugged me.
"Amu are you okay? How's Ami?" My mama asked worried.
"We're okay but we need to leave the house." And at that moment the ceiling in the hall fell blocking the door. We were trapped. I was on the point of tears but then I realized I had a window.
"The window, we could get out through the window!" I said in a hopeful voice.
"Great idea Amu!"
Then my dad broke the window with one of Ami's toys. Then they helped me crawl out the window with Ami. When I was out my papa handed me the bags I packed and looked at the window with a sad look then looked at mama with the same look and she returned it.
"What are you waiting for? Get out it's dangerous in there."
"The window is too small Amu. We don't fit."
"But you can't stay in there, you'll die if you do." I was now in tears.
"Take care of yourself and your sister Amu. Make sure your both safe."
"Stop talking and hurry up! Please!" I could hear the roof of the house start to crack.
"We love you Amu and tell Ami we love her too." Then the roof collapsed and the entire house was in flames.
"NO!" I was crying my eyes out. My parents were just killed right in front of my eyes. I held Ami close me and cried in front of what used to be my house. I looked around me and every house in my village was on fire. I saw people running; crying; screaming; and then I saw two people that caught my eyes.
They wore red masks that made them look like demons in all that fire. Then I saw that there were more than two, they spread across the village. They were setting fire to everything in sight. Then I realized that they were the ones that burned my village; they were the ones that burned my house down; they were the ones that killed my parents.
I felt the anger rise inside of me. I needed to stop them from hurting anyone else. I looked around me and saw a metal bar. The top was broken witch made it sharp. It was burning hot because it was close to the fire but I didn't care. I tied the blanket tighter around me so Ami wouldn't fall and placed our bags away from the fire.
I started to walk up to one of them with the bar still in my hands. It was burning my hands, but the anger burning inside me was stronger. They turned around but it was too late. By the time he turned his head it was already crushed by the bar in my hands. There was blood everywhere and it covered my clothes and face. But I didn't care. Then one tried to sneak up behind me but I pierced the bar through his stomach and snatched it out. He fell down and I started to run around the whole village looking for the rest of the ones who did this. And I didn't think twice, when I saw one I killed them. I killed them all.
Then I was surrounded by them and if they tried to get close to me I took them out. Everything on me was covered in blood. My skin; my hair; my face; my clothes; the only thing on me that wasn't covered in blood was Ami. Yes she was still in the blanket, which was covered in blood too. You could hear crying over the burning flames and the hits of the bar in my hands when in penetrated someone's flesh.
Then three of them tried to attack me at the same time but I simply finished all of them with one swing. But then someone lifted me up by pulling my hair. My feet weren't touching the ground and I had an intense pain in the part of my head where my hair was being pulled. I let out a small but loud scream and let go of the bar to hold the arm that was pulling my hair.
"I'm impressed; I never thought that girl of the age 8, 9 could kill this much of my men. And they're supposedly the best there is." A middle-aged man with brown hair and blue eyes said with a fake smile and innocent voice.
"I'm… 9" I said with clenched teeth to prevent me from screaming.
"What's your name little girl?" he said with innocence still in his voice. I stayed silent.
"I asked you a question. Now answer it!" he said while grabbing my face with his free hand. The innocence in his voice was replaced with a cold voice and the smile was gone.
"Why should I tell you?" I said with my teeth still clenched. Then I felt the blanket that was holding Ami loosen around me and then I didn't have it around me at all. My eyes widened and I saw one of the men carrying her next to the guy pulling my hair.
"Ami! Don't you dare hurt her if you do I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!" I yelled while kicking my feet and squeezing the guy's arm.
"Her safety depends on you. If you do what I say she will be fine. But if you disobey me she'll die." Tears were coming out of my eyes the second he mentioned her death. I won't allow that. I won't allow anyone to hurt her.
"What do you want?" a smirked formed on his lips.
"What's your name?"
"…Amu"
"Your full name?"
"…Hinamori Amu" I could see his eyes widened.
"Your parents wouldn't happen to be Hinamori Tsumugu and Hinamori Midori?"
"How do you now that?"
"They are. This just keeps getting better and better."
"Did you know them or something?"
"Oh little Amu, I came here with the intention to kill your parents. I just burned down the village so I wouldn't have any witnesses." Now my eyes widened. He came here to kill mama and papa, but why?
"Why did you want to kill them? What did they ever do to you?"
"They betrayed me. Your parents used to work for me. They used to be professional assassins. I guess that's why you were able to kill this many of my men. Killing is in your blood." Tears were pouring out of my eyes like waterfalls. That can't be true, it just can't.
"How do I know you're telling the truth? You could easily be lying. Your evil, you killed all these people."
"You killed people too. A lot of them."
"That's different, those people were bad but the people you killed were innocent."
"Your parents killed innocent people too. And that stuff doesn't matter, a life is a life. I could show you who your parents really were if you come with me."
"Why would I leave with a monster?"
"Why stay in a place where people think of you as a monster. Look around, everyone here saw what you did and now they're scared of you." I looked around and there were people that just watched us. They looked at me with fear all over their faces. He was right, they did think of me as a monster.
"If you don't come with me your sister will die." He whispered in my ear. My eyes shout up to look at Ami. The man that was carrying her had a knife in his hands and had it in position to stab her at any second.
"NO! Don't do it! Please! I'll come with you, I'll do whatever you want just please leave her alone!"
"That's how I like it." He said with a smirk. Then a guy came and dropped the bags I packed in front of us.
"Are these yours?" I nodded.
"Put them in the copter, they'll be with us now." He finally let go of my hair and I fell to the floor. Then I felt things being put on my wrist, ankles, and around my neck.
"Since I still don't trust you I put these on you. If you disobey me or try to escape I will push this button and it will give you an electric shot. And the fun thing about it is that I get to choose how many electric bolts shock you" he said with a smirk.
Then the guy gave Ami back to me and I held her close to me. It looks like she cried herself to sleep. Then I felt two things being hooked to the thing around my neck and I was lifted up from the ground. Then I was being pulled into the forest and away from my burning village.
We walked for a while and then we came across a big space and a helicopter. They pulled me in and unhooked those things from the thing around my neck. It started to fly and I drifted off to sleep with Ami still in my arms.
I was woken up when someone slapped me. Tears blurred my vision but I quickly blinked them away. I looked at the person who slapped me and it was that man from last night.
"We're here, get up." He said coldly.
I got out with Ami still in my arms and I saw that the sun was barely rising. We were in the middle of an open space in the forest again but I could tell this was a different forest. Then I felt those things being hooked to the thing around my neck again and we started walking again. As we walked further into the forest I held Ami closer to me but I made sure that I didn't squeeze her too much.
After a while of walking we reached an open field again but in this one there was a big mansion that almost resembled a castle. The men that were holding the things that were hocked to the thing on my neck pulled me in that direction so hard I almost fell. But thanks to those things I didn't and thank God because if I fell so would Ami.
There was a big gate but it just opened up without anything being done. The inside of it was huge there was a ginormous staircase in front of us and two hallways on each sides of it. They pulled me through the hallway on the left and there were two more hallways on my left and right. I thought that we were going to continue to move forward until they ranked me to right then the left again.
'I really hate these big houses with all there twists and turn.' My house was just one hallway with the bedrooms on the right and the kitchen/dining room/living room and bathroom on the left. I miss my old home with mama and papa in it. No, I can't think about that right now.
We came to double doors at the end of the hallway. When we went in it there was a big room that looked like a library and an office at the same time. There were book shelves everywhere and a desk in the middle of the room. There was a little statue on the desk that looked like a guy's head. The man went up to that desk and opened the head and inside of it was a button. Then one of the book shelves moved and there was a staircase going down inside. 'What's up with these big mansions and their secret passages?' I thought.
At the bottom there was a hallway full of doors and at the end there were double doors. We walked through them and I saw computers, chemicals, and different types of machines all over the place. It was the most technical place I've seen in my life. Then I was pulled in front of a big computer screen and there was a woman there. She had glasses with red/brown curly hair and blue eyes.
"Sanjou, show her the Hinamori's." that man said to Sanjou apparently.
"Gladly sir"
"But show her everything. Show her their training and missions." Her eyes widened
"But sir she's too young to see things like that."
"Trust me she'll be alright." The women glanced at me and she had worry in her eyes then she turned back to the big screen.
Then I saw pictures and papers with my mama and papa's names on them.
"Let's start with Tsumugu." She said then clicked on the picture of my papa.
"Tsumugu first came to us when he was 11 and esca- I mean ran away when he was 22. He did all sorts of work like eliminate people that stood as a problem and get things we needed. He did everything we ordered him to do.
Hinamori Midori was the same age as Tsumugu when she came and left with him when she was 20. She did everything we told her to do as well."
"Did you threaten them too?" I said with disgust in my voice.
"Threaten is such an ugly word. Let's just say I gave them motivation." He said with a smirk and fake innocence in his voice. I sent him a cold hard glare and clenched my teeth.
"Show her the clips." I could see the woman gulp. And she pushed few buttons and a video played on the screen.
It had my parents killing, fighting, stealing, and doing things that I didn't even think possible. Tears were pouring out of my eyes and I hugged Ami closer to me.
"Stop it! You forced them to do that! They would never have done it if you didn't threaten them!"
"Sanjou call the maid to clean up little Hinamori and have her in the study in 2 hours and she could have room A."
"Is she the daughter of Tsumugu and Midori?" The lady said in shock
"So is the baby in her arms. Oh and tell her to clean her up too."
"Yes sir" then she pushed some more buttons and a woman with black hair and green eyes walked into the room. Then the guys unhooked those things from my neck.
"Come with me I'll clean you and your sister up." She said with a sweet smile.
She took us out and we were in the study as that man called it and then she went to a different book shelf and took out one book then another and put that book where the other was and the same with the other one. Then the shelf opened and there were staircases just like the other one. The only difference was that at the bottom of it was a door and behind it was a big bedroom.
There was a big red and pink bed, a small coffee table, a mixture of red and pink carpet here and there on top of a wooden floor. There was a door that looked like it led to a closet and there were a few desks here and there. There were two doors too. One door was white and the other was black and the lady took me in the one that was white. There was a bathroom inside it.
"Give me your sister." She said holding out her hands. I didn't let her though.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt her. I just want to put her down so that I could wash you up. She won't be out of your sight. It's okay you can trust me." She had good in her eyes so I trusted her and gave her Ami.
She put Ami in a tiny basket on top of the toilet. Then she took those metal things off me and told me to take off my clothes. They were bloody and ripped so she just threw them in the trash but I didn't mind.
"I like your locket" Then I realized I still had mama's locket around my neck.
"Thanks" I simply said. Then she cleaned me up and when I was down she gave me a white long sleeve dress and brushed my pink locks. Then she washed Amu and when she was done she gave her to me and led me back to the study. I saw that man behind the desk and anger filled my body.
"Amu, you will work for me and train to be a better assassin than your parents and do everything I say."
"And why should I?"
"If you want to live then you will. Haven't you noticed that I haven't put those metal bracelets back on you? That's because while you were sleeping in the helicopter we placed a chip inside of you that does the same thing the bracelets do."
"What did they do again?"
"If you disobey me I will use this to send as many electric bolts through your body as I want."
"You're lying"
"See for yourself, the scar where we placed it is on your stomach." I turned around and faced the lady and I gave her Ami so I could see. I pulled up the dress and there was a scar on my stomach. My eyes widened and I looked at the maid with horror in my eyes and she returned my look.
"Why don't we test it out and see if it works." Then I felt an intense pain go through my body and I screamed and fell to the floor. Ami woke up and started crying and he started laughing.
"That was only a small piece of what it could do. I could kill you at this moment but I won't. But if you disobey me I will and just imagine what I could do to your sister if you died."
I picked myself off the ground him and sent him a death glare.
"So do we have a deal, Hinamori Amu?" he said sticking out his hand.
"Deal" I said in disgust and took his hand.
I woke up sweating. I hate remembering that in the daytime, now it haunts me in my dreams too. Yeah that right that really did happen, but that was 9 years ago. Now I'm 18 years old and still working for that man that's named Hoshina Kazuomi. The director of Easter and the most heartless guy in the world.
I've become the most wanted criminal in Japan and the best assassin in the world. And just like when I was a girl people see me as someone who I'm not. They see me as someone who kills and steals just for the fun of it. But that's not me.
I only do this to protect Ami. But I wish that I could take that stupid chip out of me and get out of here with Ami. That's all I ever wanted, to escape. I held the locket mama gave me all those years ago. It was the first family photo we had with Ami and the last I have of my parents. They remind me that escape is possible because they did it and one day I will too. Until then I'll keep fighting for our freedom.
Chapter one is finished and it is long I'll try to post chapter two soon until then R&R please. :-)
