Me: Yo. This is me again, I'm starting a new one. And it's in normal story format so don't go flaming without reading it!
Rin: I'm still in it right?
Me: yep! Everyone's in it!
Kukai: *grins bigly* Even Utau?
Me: Yep, Rima, Nagihiko, Yaya, Amu, Ikuto, and your beloved Utau.
Kukai: all right! *gives thumbs up*
Me: I don't own Shugo Chara or any characters in it.
A red haired boy with lively green eyes, walked into a shop with a sign 'L'amour Café' (AN: I just made up the name, if there is a store like that, I don't own it.) I wonder if Rin's working today.He opens the door, causing a bell to ring. He walks in and sees a tall man. "Hey Ryo." The black haired man smiled and throws a rag to Kukai. He catches it and starts cleaning the table. "Is Rin in?"
"Yep. She just came. She's putting on her apron." His hair that reached his shoulder, is pulled back into a small ponytail. His eyes are blood red, soon they flashed with amusement, his lips forming a mocking smirk. "Why?" He asks while cleaning a glass cup. He's wearing black, long pants, a long-sleeved white shirt. Over the shirt is a black vest, with a red tie, which is tucked under the vest. His presence is overwhelming.
"I want to tell her something, is all." Kukai says calmly.
"Mhmm." He mocks Kukai. "Oh and get out of your soccer clothes. You stink." Kukai smells himself.
"I don't smell anything."
"Yah, cause you're used to it. Just change or you'll send the customers running." Kukai smiles and heads through the door and sees a black haired girl gabbing an apron. "Hey Rin." The girl looks up with ice-blue eyes. Her skin was snow white, her long hair reaching her knees. Rin throws another apron to him.
"Hey." She's wearing black skinny jeans, with a black shirt with a red rose on it. She has a slim figure, and her lips are as red as snow white's poisoned apple. She's like a doll. "Help me out with putting on the apron." Kukai comes over, as Rin grabs her hair in ponytail, he puts the apron around her and ties it in the back. She lets go of her hair and fixes her apron. "You?" Kukai changes out of his soccer clothes.
"Nah. I can do it." after much difficulty he finally manages to put it on. Daichi came out and gave a wink to Rin.
"Hey Rin." Daichi says cheerfully.
"Hey Daichi. Let's go." They push open the door easily and walk to Ryo. Rin leans against the counter and stares at Ryo.
"What?" Ryo asked tiredly.
"No one's coming." Her bluntness crushed Ryo.
"M-maybe if you asked your friends to come-"
"I have none." Ryo just stared blankly at Rin and sighs.
"I still don't know why I even hired you." He rubs his eyebrows frustratingly.
"I'll ask my friends to come. And your store is getting more customers since we started helping out." Kukai grins at the other two.
"You're just a ball of sunshine aren't you." Rin glares annoyingly at him.
"If I am then you're a ball of darkness." They glare at each other. Kukai laughs and Rin cracks a smile, Ryo just sighed.
"Yes yes, now go clean the place up you little brats." His smirk spread longer.
"Hey Kukai, I saw your girlfriend." Rin states calmly. Kukai trips and lands against a table.
"M-my girlfriend?"
"Yah, the blonde one. I can't believe…you actually got a girlfriend." She wipes her fake tears.
"Who knew." Ryo joined in. "Our little kid is growing up." Kukai blushes a bit.
"I'm only two years younger than you Rin!" Rin cracks a smirk.
"But in the mind I'm way more mature than you." Kukai grins bigly.
"Is that a challenge?" he raises his eyebrow
"What if it is?" They look at each other with a line of crackle.
"Soccer."
"At our usual field."
"Tonight, after work." They clasped their hands together in agreement.
"Oh, call your girlfriend now. I wanna see her." Kukai sighs and they continue to clean.
"Fine. But you gotta be nice to her." Rin snickers.
"Ya right. Then it won't be as much fun." He glares at her as she mocks him. "Come on, call her. You owe me since I kicked your butt last time." He freezes and she sticks her tongue out at him. He grabs his cellphone and dials the number. It rings for a while then someone picks up.
"Kukai?" A girl's voice answered.
"Hey Utau, can you come over to my work place?"
"Sure, what's it called?" She tried to sound calm but failed, she was excited.
"L'amour Café."
"Got it, I'll be there soon."
"See you soon." He closes the phone and smiles.
"So she's coming." Rin grabs a metal napkin holder and throws it at the sleeping Ryo. Ryo wakes up instantly, with a big bump on the side of his head. He rubs it and gives a death glare to her.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" He screams while Rin covers her ears. Kukai didn't and has swirls as eyes.
"We got Kukai's girlfriend coming soon, so get up and start cooking."
"Why me?" Kukai and Rin give him a blank look.
"We. Cant. Cook." Rin says through gritted teeth while Kukai states it as if it's obvious. Ryo scratches the back of his head. "We're good at sports…not cooking."
"Um…but don't you live alone, so you cook and stuff right?" half asleep.
"I eat microwaveable meals. I can cook soup and pasta but not deserts. If it makes it easier I'll do the drinks." Ryo grunts then walks to the kitchen. "Your girlfriend will be here soon right?" Kukai nods.
"I think you're going to like her." He smiles like a man in love, Rin sighs. He's in there deep. Rin thinks as she sets a vase with a single red rose in it.
"Give that to her. That flower color means 'I love you'. Tell her that, pull her chair like a gentleman then sit on your seat, and I'll be your server for your date. Got it?" Kukai, lost, nods a bit. Rin sighs. "I'll help you out as much as I can. I better get the candles." As she turns around, Kukai grabs her arm, stopping her from moving. "Hm?"
"Thank you." He smiles. "I'll make it up for you."
"It's ok, and judging by your working hours you don't spend much time with her." Kukai nods, with sad eyes. Rin ruffles his hair, a cheeky grin on her face. "You're seeing her now aren't you?"
"Remind me that I owe you." His grin returning, she puts a white cloth on the table.
"Oh trust me. I will." She walks away and finds candles, she whispers, "Ren." Her fingertip sparks, then has a small fire ignite, she lights each one with her finger. She blows on her finger and whispers, "Thanks." She brings out the candles and sets one of them on their table then the others on the tables around their table. She dims the lights and goes check on Ryo. She stops and rummages through her pocket. She throws it at Kukai, he catches it.
"What's this?" his eyes widen at the black and white striped sport wristband. "Wait…-"
"That's my lucky band, take care of it." She smiles sweetly, "Good luck." She walks to the kitchen and sees Ryo slacking off. Rin walks to Ryo and he sees something in her eyes. Loneliness. Ryo hugs Rin tightly, and Rin returns it with a tight grip.
"It's ok. He won't leave us. We've been looking after him for quite a while." Rin clutches his shirt tighter.
"I know…I'm just…lonely." She grits her teeth as the usual piercing pain hits her heart. He was like her little brother. It's not because of him actually, it goes deeper than that, her heart slowly breaking.
"How's Fai doing?" Rin winced and pushes Ryo away. Her hair covering her cold eyes, she turns her face away from him.
"…Nothing."
"That's good."
"No…he still doesn't remember me! Yet he remembers Kukai!" Ryo looks heart broken.
"You know how you were in elementary school…I was around fifteen and started working here. You always came in with injuries and Fai always seemed to smile for your sake. He loved you more than anyone else. You protected him from any kind of danger, even if it means you getting hurt. I always thought of you as a little sister that I wanted to protect. Don't worry, he still loves you…something must have happened…and I think you know-"
The ring of the bell interrupts their conversation. Rin lifts her face, her eyes were not normal. Broken. Corrupted. The eyes of someone who has seen too many things in a short time. She smiles. It was fake but only he and Kukai could tell. He knew her long enough to know. She turns around without another word and walks to the table.
She sighs of relief as Kukai follows her advice. He pulls the chair and she seemed quite surprised. Rin walks to them and smiles. "Hello, my name is Rin. I will be your server for today." Utau looks at Rin and seems a bit jealous.
"Kukai told me about you." She muttered
"I see. Isn't he a big idiot? I was stuck with him 'cause he was my little brother's best friend ever since we were in elementary, and I got some serious dirt on him. I can tell if you want." Rin had said all the right things and Utau smiled evilly.
"Oh yes. I would love to hear stories of little Kukai." The two girls locked eyes and seemed to be agreeing on things. Rin leans close to Utau's ear and whispers.
"I've never seen him so happy when he talks about you. He was even a bit sad that you guys haven't hung out for a while." Utau blushes ear to ear. Rin straightens up, glancing mockingly at Kukai's direction.
"What'd you tell her Rin?" Kukai asks irritatedly. She's doing her own thing again. I'm going to kill her.
"Nothing. What would you like to order?"
"Is it okay if I order for you?" he asks Utau, she nods, still blushing. "We'll have the usual Rin."
"I had a feeling you'd order that. I'll be with you in a minute." Utau Hoshina aka Tsukiyomi…she doesn't seem to remember. Well, it was a long time ago. She kicks open the door and sees a relaxing Ryo. She glares scarily to Ryo and he shudders. "The usual." He stares at Rin for a moment. "NOW!"
"Did you like character change with Ren or something?" he asks wearily. Impossible…all her charas went back in her heart.
"Maybe." Rin answers then smacks Ryo on the head. "Get cooking!"
Me: Hope you guys like it, there is a lot of things that may be confusing but it'll make since sooner or later. I hope a get a review soon. Oh the main character in the is Kukai…well mostly.
Rima: when are WE coming in?
Rin:*pats Rima's head*It's ok. I can't wait to meet you too. *Rima grumbles but doesn't resist Rin*
Me: Soon. Anyways I like the original (official) couples of Shugo Chara. I mean like they only have one choice. Like Rima and Nagihiko. Utau and Kukai. Or Yaya and Kairi (he will come much much much later) Amu..well…I would ruin the surprise if I tell you who she ends up with.
Kukai: *winks* see you next chapter!
