Chapter 1 In my Heart
~~Someone's POV~~
I puffed out my cheeks giving off a pouting look as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I saw long orange-brown hair reaching to the smalls of my back and bright orange-brown eyes. I wasn't all that short but I was a bit tall for my age, being 10, around 154 cm. I would usually go by Sawada Sora but I liked using Sawada-Sasagawa Sora because Sasagawa was my Mom's name before marrying Dad. My reflection wasn't mimicking my expression instead it gave me a bored look "Sora please stop with the pouting" Skye said. Skye was like a split personality but I usually spoke to him in reflective areas but we had to be careful because others can see if the expressions are different on me and in a mirror. Skye's actual appearance was different but he used my own looks because I'd be weird to see a different face every time you look in the mirror.
"Skye, I don't want to move at all! Dad just told us we were going to out of nowhere!" I shouted tossing my arms in the air "At least you'll only be in elementary school for two years before going to middle school. You're a smart kid that was able to skip a few grades" Skye said leaning against his hand. My appearance faded in the mirror and was replaced with a long haired brown haired boy tied into a high ponytail and purple eyes. Skye was probably a year or two older than me but it was still strange for me to see him in the mirror like this. I chewed on my nails as I fingered a few strands of my hair "Think about it Sora, Seiyo is a good place so there shouldn't be anything wrong with staying there. Who knows we might be able to freely switch if we want to" Skye said "I guess...It's still a bit strange. I wonder how Aizen-sensei is" I said "I'm sure he's fine after all he is your Sensei as well as a Shinigami. We're lucky we aren't involved with it yet avoided getting our memories erased" Skye said grinning.
I nodded my head and there was a light knock on the door and I held up a cell phone as Skye quickly retreated to the back of my mind as my reflection in the mirror returned to normal reflecting my actions. The door opened and Mom peeked inside. My room was bare of anything except my desk that had my mirror and a few boxes scattered around filled with my things "Sora are you doing packing?" Mom asked smiling at me "Yes, Mom what's my school like?" I asked "Well it's a very large place and the uniforms are very cute but they sent you the boy's uniform by accident" Mom said a bit worried "Oh! That's fine!" I exclaimed waving my arms around and I accidentally let go of my phone tossing it in the air. I looked up to see it was headed straight for my face but I moved my head back letting it fall to the ground breaking it in half. Mom and I were silent for a few seconds before I picked it up and I gave her a sheepish look "Sorry" I said "It's fine but we better tell Tsu-kun about it" Mom said "I might need a replacement" I said.
The desk was placed into the moving truck and I held the small mirror in my hand as I got into the back of the truck after getting permission to. There wasn't enough room in the front so I decided to stay in the back, Mom couldn't drive at all, so I was sitting on my bed staring at my reflection in the mirror as Skye appeared once again. Boxes was all around me making it weird and a bit scary because I kept thinking a box might fall on me when I'm not paying attention "That reminds me, Sora. Why don't we switch every few days when we get there?" Skye asked smiling at me "I guess but how should we act? I want to make a good first impression" I said "How about coldly?" Skye asked "No" I said bluntly "I don't get why you always want to act differently in school" Skye said as I hugged my pillow "I was acting kind and sweet but I noticed most people took advantage of that so I want to act differently" I said.
Skye was thinking about this for a long time until he snapped his fingers finally thinking of something "How about a bit cold mixed with hidden kindness? You can just act like your bored most of the time" Skye suggested. "That sounds fine. If I act bored a lot people won't try to take advantage of that" I said nodding my head "Then you won't be forced to do things you don't want to do" Skye said. I smiled and we began to practice acting like that. I had my index fingers pressed against my temples as I gave off a confused look "Now that looks just funny" Skye said laughing at me. I stared at him crossing my arms "Now that's the look I wanted to see! Keep that up!" Skye exclaimed. Skye tried it as well and he was able to do it more easily then I ever could. I just looked at things with half lidded eyes and I kept my mouth in a straight line trying to surpass a laugh when Skye gave me funny looks. I gave up and started laughing so much I was actually crying.
~~Seiyo, Afternoon~~
I hopped out the back of the truck and onto the ground and I ran into the house looking around taking a peek into every room. The house had 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, a garden which I instantly fell in love with, and a basement that was extremely large and there were a lot of strange things in there. I helped up pack a few boxes for the living room and the kitchen. Mom left to go shopping so I left to go wander the area after changing my clothes into a pair of cargo pants and a short sleeved white shirt with my trademark Aquamarine stone that was held by a long sliver chain. I got it as a gift from Dad for my birthday, May fourth. I found my school as the students' was starting to leave. Most people looked at me as I tied my hair back into a low ponytail. I must have looked like a boy but I didn't mind all that much. I stuffed my hands into my pocket as I had my eyes half lidded with my mouth pursed into a straight line.
I turned and left without another word heading back home. I walked in and Mom was already back and everything was already out of the boxes. I felt a sweat drop falling down the back of my head as I walked up to my room to see the large things was in place but everything else was in boxes. I started to unpack my things taking time with the photos. I saw one taken of me and Skye, it was taken near a large mirror but you couldn't tell. Another was one when I was in Alice Academy before I 'lost' my Alice powers, I only grew white wings but it was nothing special. I acted like I lost my powers so I was able to leave after two years; it was all Yuuko's fault but I got out with Skye's help as my powers didn't transfer off to him. All my photos were placed above my bed which was right next to the sliding door leading to the balcony. I put away all my books onto the book shelf where I had a few knickknacks scattered around on the third shelf at eye level. My room was pretty gender neutral so it could belong to either a boy or a girl, Skye never lets me by things for my room if they're too girly but he never complains about my choice of clothing.
I dug into a random box only to get bitten by something and I screamed waving my arm around until it let go landing on my bed. I saw it was just a mouse that looked scared. I carefully held a hand out to it and it bit me again before running under my bed. I looked at Skye in my full sized mirror to see he was just standing there and he shrugged his shoulders "Just feed it some crackers or something" Skye said "Okay then. Can you stay in the mirror while I go get some?" I asked "Sure just be careful of mirrors you won't have a reflection if I stay" Skye said and I nodded my head before walking out the room to the kitchen. I peeked inside to see Mom was cutting something and I quietly tiptoed to the counter and I grabbed a few salted crackers and hard cookies before I snuck upstairs again. I put the crackers and cookies on a small napkin and I waited for the mouse to come out. I sat on the other end of the room waiting quietly when it did come out and it looked at me before munching on the crackers cautiously while staring at me "Are they good?" I asked scaring it making it drop the cracker it was eating. It looked like it was chocking and I quickly ran downstairs grabbed a glass of water before running back to my room to give it the water.
It stopped chocking and it looked at me before it started to eat again. I smiled and I gave it water every once I a while. It seemed to warm up to me easily as it crawled to my shoulder staying there. Skye smiled at me as the mouse's reflection was showing by being on his shoulder. It was a bit weird for me but it looked pretty cool. I lifted my bitten hand to the mouse and it started to lick the bite marks it caused "Oh, I forgot to bandages my hands" I said now remembering it "Sora..." Skye said with a strained smile on his face. I grabbed a first aid kit from one of the boxes and I started to disinfect and bandage my hands with practiced ease. I looked at my little mouse friend and I decided to keep it, keeping it a secret from Mom "Do you like the name Snow?" I asked "Why that?" Skye asked from my small mirror on my desk "Because its fur is pure sliver" I said "White as snow huh?" Skye asked teasingly. I gave him a blank look "You're getting better at the bored expression" Skye said not all that threatened by me.
I decided to take a look at my uniform so I put it on behind a paper screen I bought since Skye appeared. I came out from behind the screen and Skye's appearance faded away so I can see my own reflection. I looked pretty good but the uniform didn't suit me very well. I got rid of the white cuffs by ripping them off and I kept my hair tied back in a low ponytail using a blue ribbon in the same shade as my uniform. I got rid of the tie and I just kept my necklace around my neck to replace it and I left the blazer unbuttoned. I still felt it was a bit off "Undo a few of the top buttons" Skye suggested and I did just that but it still seemed strange "How about you wear the tie but don't actually tie it up?" Skye asked. I wrapped the tie around my neck and it looked better but still strange so I did tie it but the knot hanged really low so I could easily pull it off or fall off it I jumped from a high place "That looks so much better, right?" I asked "Yeah, gotta agree with you" Skye said as his real appearance faded into view. I rolled my eyes before I changed into my white pajamas.
~~Morning~~
I yawned as I walked when I bumped into this pink haired boy (I totally made Amu male! I wanted to see if there were any but there weren't so I thought it'd be more interesting if she was a he but I only thought about it after hearing a gender bent song) I stared at him and he stared back. His uniform was like mine but he left his blazer unbuttoned and his tie was loose and with a few buttons undone and on his left arm was a blue cloth pinned on. I saw this weird black X earring on his right ear. His hair was pretty short framing his face nicely and his gold eyes stared at me, he was probably a few centimeters taller than me so I had to stare up at him "You new?" he asked "Yeah, so?" I asked giving him a bored look "Whatever" he said. We walked side by side not really talking "I'm Sora, Sawada Sora but just call me Sora, you?" I asked "Hinamori Amu..." he said "Hm~ wanna be friends, Amu?" I asked not really changing my facial expression or caring I was calling him by his first name "Do what you like" he said but I can tell he was happy from his voice that couldn't contain his excitement.
Snow came out of my bag and onto my shoulder and Amu looked at me briefly before looking ahead again. It seemed like Snow didn't really bother him all that much so he must not be afraid of mice. We saw a boy being bullied by some middle school students "Hey, you're in the way" Amu said holding his bag over his shoulder "Move we need to get to school" I said "What's with these boys?" one asked "W-Wait! He can't be..." the other said scared. They both turned scared while the kid from our school looked at my new friend admiring him "It's you! The 'cool and hot' boy I heard about in chess club: Hinamori Amu!" the kid said before the two older guys started ranting about the things about what Amu did "Huh? Amu, are you seriously like that?" I asked looking at him with bored eyes; I truly was bored since there was nothing interesting and it didn't seem all that real "Does it matter, Sora?" Amu asked looking down at me "Not really. So are you guys still going to move or not?" I asked "So who the hell is he?" one guys asked "Sawada Sora, I'm from Namimori and new transfer student at Seiyo Academy. I'm tired..." I said giving a lazy sigh "So cool..." the kid said staring at me with just as admiration as he gave Amu.
"Let's just go, Amu" I said walking towards them. They thought they could take me but I moved faster than they could and I stood on the concrete fence looking down at them "Really think you can take me now?" I asked "When did he...He's a demon!" one of the older boys shouted pointing at me. I jumped down on the other's head before flipping off and grabbing the other's collar flipping them to the ground on top of his friend. I let go of his collar "Geez nothing of interest. Ah, you're much weaker than Aizen-sensei I don't see why I bothered to use what I learned from him" I said scratching the back of my neck. Amu seemed surprised by this but he quickly covered it up "Let's go, Sora" Amu said walking ahead "Hai..." I said following after him "Wait!" the kid said gaining our attention "Thank you for saving me! If you don't mind will you please sign this?" he asked "Are you kidding? You were in the way too. Next time, be more careful let's go Sora" Amu said before we continued on our way. Amu and I were in the same class when I was introduced during Homeroom. I yawned not bothering to cover my mouth as Snow was on my shoulder.
I was told to introduce myself and tell my likes, dislikes, hobbies and dreams for the future. I stared at the kids in my class blankly before my eyes landed on Amu and I gave a small smile but it disappeared as quickly as it came "My name is Sawada Sora. I lived in Namimori before moving here. I like few things, and I have a lot of dislikes, I don't have to share what my hobbies to you and as for my dreams for the future...I haven't really thought about it but if I had to say I'd be to work along side my Dad" I said. I could see they were talking excitingly among themselves and Amu gave me a small wave. I was seated a few seats behind him so I walked through his row before I stopped next to him. Everyone stopped to stare at us and they seem tense as I invaded his personal bubble by sticking my face in front of his "So it seems we're in the same class, Amu. I hope we get along" I said before I moved away and towards my desk.
~~After School~~
I found out a lot of things about Amu, the boys admired him while the girls wanted him. I was suddenly confronted by a girl as I was next to Amu talking "A-Ano, senpai. Here!" she shouted holding out a letter to us. Amu took it and I looked over his shoulder to see it was addressed to both of us "Weird, don't you think?" I asked leaning against him casually "Un" Amu said nodding his head slightly. I took the letter from him and read it once before putting giving it back "Sorry not interested. Let's go, Sora" Amu said grabbing my arm and dragging me away "Not interested either, sorry kid" I said before I was out of ear shot. I managed to get out of his grip and I walked next to him yawning every once in a while 'Skye I hate when you keep me up' I thought 'Sorry but I got bored' Skye thought back to me. We can keep our thoughts separate from each other but when I can't open my mouth one of us can open the mind link.
"Sora, do you want to hang out later?" Amu asked "Why not at my house? I'm sure my Mom won't mind" I said "You just moved in right?" Amu asked "Yeah" I said "You sure it'll be fine?" Amu asked trying to act cool "Hn..." I said. We neared my house and I opened the door taking off my shoes "I'm back, Mom" I said. Mom came out from another room with Dad right behind her "Oh, Dad's back..." I said staring at him "Sora, what's wrong with you?" Dad asked walking near me "Nothing much just tired" I said "So who's your friend?" Dad asked his protectiveness showing as he smiled almost threateningly at my friend "Dad..." I said stomping on his foot "Yes Sora?" Dad asked almost innocently "Mom, Dad, this is my friend Hinamori Amu. He's just a friend, Dad" I said "That's good. Sora why don't you change into something appropriate" Mom said and I understood the hidden meaning as in I had to change into girl's clothes "Sure. I'll be back down in a bit just wait a sec" I said rushing up the stairs to hurry and change before Dad had a chance to threaten my friend and scare him off, Dad's too overprotective over his only daughter which is in face me.
I put on the dress on my bed before pulling my hair into a half side ponytail on the left side of my head. The hooded dress was dark orange fading to red going downwards. I ran back downstairs slipping on my orange socks that reached above my knees. I got to the living room/kitchen before Dad even had a chance to threaten Amu just as Mom was out of hearing range. I panted extremely tired "D-Dad don't you dare s-say a w-word" I said trying to regain my breath. Amu seemed really shocked by my appearance "Sora's a girl?" he asked. Dad and I gave him similar looks of 'Of course she is/I am' "Yeah, is there a problem with that?" I asked leaning against the door frame with a bored look again "No just a bit shocking" Amu said before he began to mutter things under his breath that I didn't catch. Snow peeked his head out from my hood and I saw Skye mouthing something at me from the mirror behind them 'I get it, I get it!' I thought shouting at him before my reflection returned to normal.
I sat down next to Dad "The school sent the wrong uniform by accident" I said clearing up the misunderstanding Amu had "Why don't you get a new one?" Amu asked "Why bother" I said shrugging my shoulders. Snow hid back into my hood once Mom came back carrying four tea cups putting them on the table in front of us "Amu-kun you can stay as long as you like" Mom said smiling at him "Ah! Yes thank you" Amu said embarrassed if the blush on his face said anything. I gave a silent giggle and I nudged Dad with my elbow "Looks like you have competition, Daddy" I said. I only him Daddy when I'm teasing him "I don't think that'll be a problem" Dad said chuckling as if he found it humorous "Sure, sure if you say so" I said. Amu seemed to have liked visiting my place because he was smiling by the end of the day even though he tried to hide it and it seemed the secret of Snow was revealed because he snuck out of my hood to eat a few cookies Mom made. Mom wasn't all that surprised instead she found him really cute. I waved goodbye to Amu when he had to leave. I really didn't change my bored personality much only saying it was because I was tired to my parents so they didn't question it anymore.
~~Dinner time~~
At dinner I was feeding Snow when this weird show came on "Behind your back is a spirit!" I heard the lady yell. I was so surprised that I almost spit out my food "That's right. No matter who you are, a guardian angel is protecting you" She said "Guardian Angel...that doesn't sound very real" I said out loud "Sora she's the real deal, Miss Nobuko is a Never-Betraying psychic. She's even in one of my favorite magazines" said Mom 'As expected of Mom trust her to believe a magazine but I kinda think it's scary but who am I to judge with Skye as my other half?' I thought "No, it is not a monster. A guardian angel is your companion, always behind you, watching over and protecting you true self" Nobuko said "Ridiculous there no such thing" I said under my breath "You'd be surprised at what's out there Sora" Dad said smiling at me "People who ridicule them will die" Nobuko said 'What the...It's like she's talking to me' I thought "That seems a bit mean to say" Dad said frowning at the screen probably seeing my scared face "I am speaking to you" she said. I stood up from my chair "What's wrong Sora" asked Mom "Nothing Mom, I'm just not hungry anymore. Thanks for the food" I told her. I kissed both my parent's cheeks before heading upstairs to my room.
I sat on my bed thinking about that weird show "You want to try it, Sora?" Skye asked knowing what I was thinking about "Maybe...I kinda do wish to be different and be my real self sometimes but maybe not now" I said smiling "Make a wish" Skye said looking outside and I saw a falling star. I closed my eyes locking the mental link 'Sorry for mocking you, Angel-san but I wish to be a strong, confident person like Skye. Even if I'm someone weak I want to like my Dad whose head of Vongola Corporations and really girly who likes gardening and cooking. I also like to be able to speak my mind about anything even if I have to act like a boy!' I thought (Sora doesn't know about Vongola being a Mafia family but she thought it was some kind of company since Gokudera and Tsuna talk about it a lot when she overhears their conversation) I opened my eyes and I smiled at Skye in the mirror who was staring at the sky bored "Good night, Skye" I said "Night" he said not looking at me at all.
~~Morning~~
I felt something hit my leg when I woke up and I sat up looking next to me to see Snow "Then what's under my blanket?" I asked pulling it off. I froze seeing four eggs on my bed "...So my wish did come true but...Why are there eggs in my bed!" I shouted. I panicked as I dug through the things in my room to find a solution to this problem. I couldn't find anything in a health manual so I stared at the eggs for a long time taking in every detail. One was simple it was white with black chibi wings and flowers in the center area, a blue egg with the Vongola Symbol (She seen it from some of Tsuna's documents) and the Roman sign for Eleven, a dark blue egg with a chibi cat with a fish in its mouth, and the last one was white with orange-red flames at the bottom. I poked at the cat one as Skye was strangely quiet about all this "Skye..." I said whining to him "I have no idea maybe...Nah" Skye said "What?" I asked "You aren't actually a bird right?" Skye asked staring at me "That's just my Alice power" I said staring at him blankly "Then maybe a bird came in and dumped them in your bed" Skye said "That's just plain weird and how the heck would a bird get in here, let alone how would it make decrotive eggs" I said "Good point" Skye said. I gave a heavy sigh before I got up putting the eggs in my bag using a soft white towel to keep it from breaking.
I walked downstairs to the kitchen and I sat at the dining room table staring at the food on the table. Dad looked at me questionably "What's wrong, Sora?" he asked "Uh, Dad, how are babies born?" I asked. I saw him stiffen up "I'll tell you some other time" Dad said "Why?" I asked "I don't think your ready yet" Dad said "Why?" I asked again "Because I said so...?" Dad said but it sounded like a question "Whatever" I said resuming my staring at the plate of scrabbled eggs. I let Snow eat it all and he turned into a large silver ball from being extremely full "That looks painful" I said picking him up gently "Why don't you leave him here today? He might get sick when you're at school" Mom said taking him from me and laying him down in a small basket lined with a soft plush pillow. I nodded my head "Okay. Please don't cause trouble for Mom, Snow. I'll be back soon" I said and he gave a painful nod. I grabbed my bag and I carefully put it over my shoulder before I walked out the house.
~~On the way to School~~
I met up with Amu at the corner where we meet up. I smiled at him and we continued walking in awkward silence. I opened the flap of my bag to look at my eggs to see they were just fine and before I could close it a hand grabbed my own. I looked at Amu a bit surprised then he lifted my hand that held the flap higher "You have eggs too?" Amu asked surprised "Yeah-wait what did you say?" I asked as he let me go. He opened his own bag and I saw he had three eggs "A spade, heart, and a clover wow it's like a deck of cards but you need a diamond" I said "That's not funny" Amu said lightly tapping my head with his fist. We continued to walk talking about well nothing important that's for sure. I accidentally bumped shoulders with him "Ah, sorry" I said "It's no problem" he said turning a bit red. I raised an eyebrow at this "If you say so" I said unsure "I'm still a bit freaked out about how the eggs out in our beds" I said giving a heavy sigh "You're an only child, right Sora?" Amu asked as we were almost at school "Yeah, what about you?" I asked "No, I have a little sister named Ami. My parents always dot on her" Amu said.
We walked in silence as we were almost inside when we heard 'kya'ing from most of the female population. Amu and I turned to look only to see four kids in capes "Seriously how childish can people get" I said holding my hands in my pockets "Sawada-san you shouldn't say that! They're the Guardians!" a girl from my class said "So?" I asked. Then she and another female student went off on a rant about them and I gained their names but I kinda think the school gives them too much of a privilege. I looked at Amu to see he was staring at the blonde kid as if he was someone he admired. I kinda thought the Guardians were just based off of playing cards but they needed a Joker to complete it. I yawned bored of all this when something in my bag moved. I opened it to see my cat egg was moving and Amu's heart one was as well "Stupid egg! Stop moving!" I whispered harshly trying to push it down. We gained a lot of attention and I closed mine before trying to push Amu inside when a hand touched my shoulder along with Amu's.
"Excuse me. Um, might you be..." Hotori Tadase said to us. I heard a few whispers from some of the students around us and I couldn't stop my training from kicking in at that moment but luckily Amu slapped his hand off of both our shoulders before I flipped the boy onto the ground injuring him "Don't touch us like you're our friend, o'chibi-san" Amu said coolly. Amu grabbed my arm and he forcibly dragged me behind him. I was dragged by Amu out of view of everyone and he leaned his head against my shoulder facing me "Really Amu? Getting this friendly with me even though we only known each other for a day?" I asked "Shut up and let me stay like this for a while" Amu said. I was worried he might burst out crying and I hesitantly hugged him, I never really dealt with a boy being emotional as I didn't have many male friends around my age except from the ones at Alice Academy but Natsume was a strong guy but he used me more as a pillow and Ruka wasn't as emotional. I hesitantly patted Amu's back when he finally let me go "Feel better?" I asked "Yeah, thanks" he said returning to 'normal'.
Amu and I sat next to each other during the assembly and I was starting to fall asleep. I yawned and I noticed Amu's ashamed look then I suddenly saw his X earring turn into a bright red heart after hearing this boy's voice out of nowhere. Amu stood up and everyone looked at him "Hai! I'm sorry about earlier but I really admire you Hotori-san!" Amu shouted. I stared at him wondering what the heck was up with him when his earring turned back into a black X. He looked extremely embarrassed and confused about what he just did "We are in a meeting now. Please refrain from making off-topic comments. I'm sorry" Hotori said shocking Amu "Amu..." I said standing up. Amu dropped his head before running out the room pushing past me. I growled as I stood there "Who the hell do you think you are? Amu had the courage to say that in front of a crowd yet you just had that to say? I hate people like that" I said as my ribbon suddenly snapped and my hair framed my face making it almost clear I was a girl. I started to run after Amu trying to catch up to him but dang was that boy fast.
I almost reached him and I grabbed his hand as we ran into a construction site before he ran into a hole when I was dragged in with him. I landed right on top of him with our bags landing on the ground "Pain...hurts...get off" Amu said. I got off him and I helped him up "What are we going to do?" Amu asked "Who knows" I said "Hello? Is anyone there?" Amu asked shouting "I think it's closed" I said "What are we going to do?" Amu asked panicking "Amu-kun!" we heard at the same time "Sora!" this voice sounded different but was still male. The eggs that moved this morning was wiggling its way out of our bags and I just opened the flap of mine letting it out easily as it floated at eye level. Both eggs popped open and I saw what Amu's chibi human looked like along with my own. Mine was a boy wearing a black trench coat, long brown scarf around his neck, black jeans and blue shirt, he also had brown hair, styled similar to mine, matching brown cat ears and tail and he had chocolate colored eyes. Amu's was more like a pink haired red eyed boy wearing a red baseball cap with a red heart on top and short sleeved dress shirt and dark red shorts with matching shoes.
"What is with you two, geez" Amu's chibi said sighing at us "I agree. Let's fly or jump out of here" my chibi said "How?" I asked "Fly" Amu's chibi said "F-Fly?" Amu asked unsurely "From a dude who can't fly to one who can: chara change! Hop! Step! Jump!" Amu's chibi shout and before I knew Amu literally flew out the hole into the sky dragging me with him by holding my hand. Under Amu's feet was this red skateboard and his body began to move on his own as we floated around for a while when I was accidentally let go of and my wings came out and I flew upwards above Amu's head "Amu! You jerk are you trying to kill me?" I asked "How did you do that? Your Shugo Chara doesn't have wings..." Amu's Chibi said quietly so I only heard it as we landed on the unfinished building. My wings folded back into my back disappearing but my clothes were torn where my wings were at.
I looked at the chibi people "What the heck are you two?" I asked poking mine "We're called Shugo Chara. Either of you asked or prayed for this right? I'm Yuuki and I'm Sora's Shugo Chara!" Yuuki said grinning at me "I'm Ran and I'm Amu-kun's Shugo Chara! I'm born from your wish to be confident, more honest, and athletic!" Ran shouted happily and he grinned at his owner "I was born from your wish to be confident and strong, Sora" Yuuki said almost calmly. Amu seemed to see something so I followed his line of vision to see a boy with blue hair and cat ears and a tail "Weird..." I stated bluntly. I heard Amu say something really rude behind me but I didn't really care all that much as he approached us. Amu pushed me behind him "Playing tough guy, huh? Your girlfriend is cute but why is she wearing boy's clothes?" the teen asked playing innocent as he got closer to us "She's/I'm not my/his girlfriend!" Amu and I shouted at the same time.
He leaned forwards and I saw his cat ears move as he sniffed us, weirdo. He looked at both of us "You both still have more eggs, don't you?" he asked "What's it to you?" I asked bringing out my wings slightly making sure they were still tucked in so no one could see it. A small Shugo Chara cat came out from behind the teen "There are two others for the boy and three for the girl, nya" he said "Who are you people?" Amu asked as I clung to the back of his shirt. Ran and Yuuki flew in front of us "Amu-kun, Sora-chan, be careful!" Ran said "They want your e-" Yuuki didn't even have time to finish as he and Ran were flicked away "So your names are Amu and Sora?" the teen asked as I tried to find where the two Shugo Chara was flicked to. I felt a hand wrap around my waist and I was pulled against Amu "Kya! Hentai!" I shouted trying to punch the older teen "Where the heck do you think your touching?" Amu asked doing the exact same thing with as much embarrassment as I felt. He pulled away and I saw him holding all my eggs along with Amu's "Found them" he said smiling as Yuuki and Ran returned "Give them back, you egg thief!" Ran shouted "Those do not belong to you! Return them this instant!" Yuuki shouted.
I clung to the back of Amu's blazer as I watched the older teen "It seems like they are about to be born" the teen said still grinning "And we already have the Humpty Lock" the cat Chara said holding a large lock almost bigger than itself. The two started to move away "Those eggs...They're like me so...I won't let you take them!" I shouted surprising everyone causing them to look at me. I flipped over Amu and I rushed towards the older teen and I managed to push all the eggs out his hand "The eggs!" I shouted as they were about to fall over the edge. I didn't hesitate to jump and grab them all but I didn't think Amu would try to grab onto me causing both of us to tumble to the ground. Amu wrapped his arms around my waist holding me close as he held onto me. My wings came out and I tried to stop our falling but slow down our falling "Amu-kun/Sora! You guys have to fly! Do another chara change!" Ran and Yuuki shouted near us "My wings can't carry more than one person! I can't hold us both up!" I shouted scared for my life "But!" Amu shouted at Ran 'Skye!' I shouted in my mind 'Sora! Calm down! Figure a way out of this!' Skye shouted to me.
"You can do it! You can make it possible! Your would-be self!" Ran shouted at us "Would-be...self?" I asked quietly. I remembered what I asked for the night before and I felt my resolve strengthen "Give me courage!/I can't afford to die now!" Amu and I shouted. This bright light flew towards us and Amu didn't hesitate to grab hold of the Humpty Lock as I held onto our eggs. Blinding black and purple lights surrounded me while red almost pink surrounded Amu. I felt myself separate from Amu and my wings grew so large that they wrapped around me as I noticed I was in a different outfit. A long black scarf was wrapped around my neck, dark blue, almost black, sleeveless shirt, black jeans, black dress shoes, I even had cat ears and tail and my blue Aquamarine now a clear Sapphire. My hair was free and it was only a little wild but still pretty straight. My wings dispersed into white feathers as we landed on the ground and I jumped higher than the building.
"Sora!" Amu shouted and I saw him higher than I was. I saw his outfit was completely different than before. Pink short sleeved shirt under a red vest, red tie, red pants, a red and white arm band on his right arm, the Humpty Lock tied around his neck right on top of the knot of the tie, red and white sneakers, and on his head was a red baseball cap with a bright red heart "This feels...Nice" I said closing my eyes enjoying the falling sensation "That's what you have to say?" Amu asked shouting at me. Amu actually took time to fly in the air and I heard him say the same thing as I did. I looked down calmly to see we were pretty high up "Yuuki?" I asked looking around for him "This is great Sora!" I heard his voice "Yuuki, where are you I don't see you?" I asked looking around "Hahaha that's because we did a Chara-nari, I'm part of you physically. A Chara-nari is when you use 120% of your Chara's abilities" he replied. I looked up at Amu to see he was panicking so badly that the Chara-nari undid itself "Sora!" Yuuki screamed. I screamed when Amu actually fell onto of me my own Chara-nari undoing itself and we started to fall to the ground very quickly "Amu, you idiot!" I shouted holding onto him for dear life.
Before we could turn into pancakes the two of us landed on this weird jelly like substance. Amu got off of me, he was heavy so I had a bit of trouble breathing, and I sat up on my knees holding my eggs and Amu doing the same with his own. I felt myself fall and I was now in the arms of Hotori Tadase with Amu right next to us 'What the heck?' I thought 'I think he likes you' Skye thought teasing me 'Shut it, Skye!' I shouted into my mind before I buried him under a lot of mental barriers. Skye's the only person I know that can get under my skin and make me truly angry "You again, Kiddy King?" the older teen asked "Taking newborn eggs is against the rules. Also putting your hands on the Humpty Lock is deplorable, Tsukiyomi Ikuto!" Hotori shouted before putting me down on the ground where I sat as the feeling in my legs was gone and it felt like jelly "It's your fault for leaving it there!" the cat Chara shouted at the blonde.
Amu knelt down next to me but his eyes never left the form of Tsukiyomi Ikuto, I think calling him Ikuto would be easier. I was holding onto Amu's sleeve as I watched Ikuto ruffle Hotori's feathers. I heard the word Embryo "Embryo...?" I asked confused 'I think they mean a Shugo Chara egg but why are they calling it Embryo? It must be extremely important or valuable' Skye thought to me as he got through the mental barriers easily. I saw Ikuto clench his fist and this see through of blue paw appeared "Oh, wow it's like an Alice ability" I said forgetting about Amu and Hotori until Amu looked at me questionably. Hotori stood in front of us holding up his staff "Holy Crown!" he shouted and it protected us from the paw that was heading straight for us. An explosion broke out and I felt Amu's grip tighten on me until the dust and debris disappeared. I saw Ikuto was no longer there "He must have run" I said as Amu helped me up "He's a crafty cat. Of course he would run" Hotori said before turning to us.
Hotori dug into his pocket and he pulled out two sides of a blue ribbon and he held it out for me "Ah, thank you" I said taking the ribbons from him and I felt guilty about yelling at him when he just returned my possessions "Are you both alright? Have you been hurt?" Hotori asked. I shook my head no "We're both fine" I said giving him a small smile "Hotori-kun" we heard. I turned my head to see Fujisaki Nadeshiko "If you don't return to the guardian meeting...Everyone is waiting" she said. I saw Amu blushing when he saw her and I elbowed him harshly and he looked at me and I glared up at him. I stopped glaring when Hotori looked at us and I gave a bored expression "Maybe you should head home for today. Well then..." he said already walking away "Ah, Ano!" Amu shouted and the two Guardians looked at us before he pointed at the Humpty Lock around his neck "This..." he said "You hold onto this, Hinamori Amu-san. I hope we can meet again as well, Sawada Sora" Hotori said smiling at us. I felt myself blush a little as Yuuki landed on my head. I watched as they walked away "Wow...he's different from Natsume and Ruka" I said with my hands on my cheeks.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked at Amu to see he looked annoyed "Sora...Let's just go home" Amu said sighing heavily. I gave a small tilt of my head and he grabbed my hand before leading us both home well at least until we reached the street where we part. I tugged on his sleeve before he walked away and he looked at me. I stood on my tiptoes bringing my mouth near his ear "Remember Amu, not everything is as it seems. Be careful around the Guardians who knows what they have in store for us" I said before pulling away. I turned on my heels and started walking away. Yuuki flew next to me as we walked not even turning around when Amu shouted my name. Yuuki sat on my shoulder as I opened the door to my house and Mom was there wondering why I was home so early. I took off my shoes before I ran to her hugging her and she hugged me back "Mom, I'm scared" I said crying a little "It's fine, it's fine, I won't let you be taken away anymore" Mom said soothing out my messy hair. Snow crawled onto my shoulder next to Yuuki and he pulled at my hair and I pulled away.
"It's just so scary that there might be some people like at Alice Academy. Please promise me you won't let anyone take me away" I said "Tsu-kun and I would never let that happen. I won't lose you" Mom said kneeling down to my eye level. I nodded my head and I kissed her cheek before I walked up to my room where I stood in front of my full sized mirror and my reflection faded to see Skye glaring at nothing in particular. I sighed as I sat in front of it with my legs crossed and I looked up at him when he sat down on the ground "This is bad, this is very bad" Skye said "I know" I said burying my face in my hands "If the Academy gets hold that you still have your Alice powers you'll be forced back there and they might not allow you to go free" Skye said "I hope the others are doing just fine" I said "They probably are. If you want I can switch to a crow for a while to check up on them" Skye said "I'll lose my reflection and it'd be obvious to anyone" I said "I got nothing then" he said as I peeked out from behind a few of my fingers to look at him. I smiled at my older brother figure and he smiled back and Yuuki stared at my reflection in amazement "I didn't think this could happen! This is so cool!" he shouted "Shugo Chara you better take care of Sora. She's my precious little sister" Skye said "You're someone she holds dear to her heart. You're a good person, Skye" Yuuki said.
Skye and I looked at Yuuki for a long time "How do you know..." I said "I know because he's always close to your heart like an older brother. All your children know because most of us were based on him. We're only your Shugo Chara Sora so we can't be given to Skye" Yuuki said smiling at me. I tapped his forehead and he smiled as he sat in the palm of my hand. I gave him a kiss to the cheek before putting him down. I looked at Skye and smiled and he smiled back "I wish I could be out there with you, little sis" Skye said reaching out towards me but the mirror stopped him from reaching me. I reached out to him and I rested my hands where his was pressed against and I rubbed my eyes as a few tears leaked from my eyes "I don't want to be a prisoner again. I hate being used" I said "I know. I know so don't cry, Sora" Skye said to me. I nodded my head feeling slightly better "I'm tired so I'm going to sleep until morning" I said "Okay, night Sora" Skye said fading from my view and my reflection mimicked what I was doing. I stood up and changed out of my clothes before crawling into my bed and falling asleep immediately.
Me: The end! I really couldn't resist a gender bender of Amu because I couldn't find many Male!Amu stories. I really hope I don't randomly change Sora's personality but it might change a bit if someone is trying to take over her or something is mentioned about her past or if Skye is messing with her.
Sora: Yep! Thanks for reading now! I hope you review!
