Hi, mina-san! I have recently become addicted with Shugo Chara, and am disappointed by the lack of long fanfics with the pairing Nagihiko/Amu. So I made it my goal to write one! Though I have another fic running, that one should be finished soon, and I will put more of my efforts into writing this one. I don't have internet access right now, and shall be posted this at a friend's house, but I hope to get my internet back soon...Well, I hope you like my story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara...


Prologue


Hinamori Amu was not a fool, or extremely gullible, though she did seem a bit like it at first glance. Though quite absentminded sometimes, she was very perceptive, especially concerning her friends and loved ones. So it should've come to no surprise, that she came to the conclusion that her best friend, Fujisaki Nadeshiko, was actually Fujisaki Nagihiko, Nadeshiko's supposed twin brother. After all, people didn't just have twins that you never tell your friends about, right?

Nadeshiko and Nagihiko had the same mannerisms, actions, and habits. Amu was also sure that when Nagihiko had tried to protect Rima from a ? egg mission gone bad, with the blurting out of important secrets, Nagihiko had almost blurted out his deepest darkest secret, the almost confession that he actually was Nadeshiko. If it wasn't for the fact that Tadase had stopped him...

Miki wasn't the only one capable of rational thought, and it had struck the rosette at odds that Nagihiko and Nadeshiko never seemed to be seen together, despite the fact that they were twins, and the declaration from Nagihiko that they told each other everything. Amu was quite shocked at first, but with time, she got over it. However, she wasn't exactly sure why that Nagihiko was dressing as a girl. What would warrant that? What could Nagihiko be serious enough about that he would actually voluntarily wear a skirt and act femininely for?

The answer came to her quickly. Dance. It was one of the things that Nadeshiko had lived for, and Amu remembered the caretaker of the Fujisaki home tell her that the time the rosette first slept over was the first time that Nadeshiko (or Nagihiko...) had ever place something before her passion, dancing. Though why, Nagihiko had to dress as a female, Hinamori wasn't sure of.

Ran was the one who suggested it, remembering that many aspects of Japanese dancing in history had required males to perform female roles. Was Nagihiko so serious about his passion that he was willing to spend years as a female, just to learn the arts? Suu had spoke up, reminiscing about how serious that Nagihiko had always seemed about dancing, and how Nadeshiko had seemed just as serious. Miki agreed, saying that she would do anything to keep drawing, and artistry.

Now came the question as to why Nagihiko had never told Amu, and why his identity of Nadeshiko was his deepest secret. Surely the purple-haired boy knew that all of the Guardians and his friends would stand behind him, and support him? Then again, Kuukai, and Tadase seemed to know something about this. After all, it was Tadase that had stopped Nagihiko from blurting out his secret, and Kuukai and Tadase were the ones that were in dresses...

Well, it seemed that time would tell, and Hinamori Amu did not want to force her friend to tell his secrets. Surely Nagihiko trusted Amu enough to tell her what he had been hiding...right?


And that's a wrap! That is just the prologue, and I should be updating soon...Please review? I'd really appreciate some feedback on my new story...thank you!
