I was sitting in school, watching everything out of the window. "Miss. Hinamori" Mr. Nikaidou called. I raised my left hand, since my right hand was under my chin supporting my head. I sighed.
First, Mr. Nikaidou calls roll. Then, he has the longest coughing fit I have EVER seen in my life. Finally, he passes out at his desk after he gives us all our work. Yes, my life is boring. Yes, I really don't care if it is or not.
But…Sometimes, I wish I was different. Like just be normal and not have to pretend to be someone I'm not.
After school, I packed up all my stuff. "Karin, don't you agree those worksheets were a little to easy?" my one, and only, friend, Rima, asked. "I guess. I only got stuck on one of the math problems, but other than that…" I trailed off looking out the window.
There was a boy, with dark blue hair and purplish-blue eyes, was staring at me. Well, glaring actually. I rolled my eyes and slung my bag over my shoulder. "You ready, Rima?" she grabbed her bag and nodded.
When we got outside, the boy was still there, staring at me. It felt kind of odd. Since, he was just looking at me. "Hey Rima, be careful." I whispered. She looked at me, with a confused look on her face. I pointed to the boy. Rima nodded. "So, about the worksheets," I said, trying to be less conspicuous, "I didn't understand number ten on the fourth worksheet. Did you understand it, Rima?" I looked down at the side walk. "I understood the first part. But the second part. My gosh. I think that's, like, for the high school students." I laughed. Rima is the smartest person I knew, and she thought that was hard.
"Bye Rima. See you tomorrow morning." I waved, as I went to the right, to my house. Rima lived across the street, so. Yeah. "Bye Karin."
When I got inside my house, I went straight upstairs. After saying hi to my mom and dad and little Ami. I threw my bag down on the floor and went to the balcony doors. I opened the left one and stepped outside.
I stared up at the stars. Then I bent my head down and closed my eyes. 'Please,' I prayed, 'give me more courage to be reborn. Please.' I stared up at the stars again and then went back inside. I closed the door and got ready for bed. I turned the lights out and laid on my bed. I wonder, I thought, if my pray will be answered.
After mentally shrugging, I pulled the covers up, over my body, and fell asleep.
"Um… This isn't what I meant." I was sitting up straight, looking down at the eggs sitting next to my pillows. One was white with red and black feathers across it. The other was blue with spades. And the last one was pink. And it also had hearts.
"KARIN! WAKE UP!" my mother shouted. I sighed. "YES MAMA." I got up and put on my uniform. White skirt with a blue blouse. And, of course, the white tie.
I picked up my eggs, and they were warm. I put them back down, gently, on the bed and went over to my drawer to get out some cloth. I put that on top of my text books, then put the eggs on top of that. I closed the messenger bag flap and went down stairs. "'Bye everyone." I waved as I walked out the door. I met Rima on the side walk near her house. "Good morning," Rima said, as she handed me a thermos. "What is this?" Rima laughed. "It's my special hot chocolate." I drank some as we were walking. "Thanks Rima."
As we got near the school, Rima jumped and said, "I got to go! See you later, Karin!" she ran off. I started walking forward, my hands in my jacket pockets. Then, I heard everybody start whispering. I turned around and these… these people were walking up toward the school. There was two boys and two girls. I knew one out of the two guys was my cousin, Kukai, the Jacks chair or something like that. I shrugged and walked forward, then something shook in my bag. I opened the flap, and the pink one was shaking. It jumped, but I caught it.
I shoved it back into my bag, closed the flap, and walked quickly inside of the school with my head bent down.
Tadase's PoV:
"Did you see that?" Yuiki-san asked. I nodded, "Yes, three Guardian Chara's." Kukai whistled, "Who would've thought that it would be my cousin also."
Karin's PoV:
We had a meeting. We, as in, the whole school. The so called "Guardians" were holding it. "Is there any questions?" The blonde haired guy asked. Suddenly, something happened. I shot my hand up and I couldn't bring it down. "Yes," he called. I stood up and ran. I left the school building.
I didn't know where I was going, but I just knew I hade to go straight. Then, I fell into a hole.
"Hello?" I called out. Of course, I hade to fall into a hole at a construction site. My pink egg popped out, and it cracked open. "Hey! I'm Karin-chans new Guardian Chara!" The little girl said with pink hair. She was dressed up as a cheerleader. "I'm Ran! Now, lets character change!" Ran cheered. "Hop! Step! Jump!" these pairs of pink wings appeared on my wrist and I was in the air in seconds. They disappeared when I was on the rails. I looked down. I was very high up. I screamed and held onto the nearest pole there was. "Ran, if I die from falling, this is all your fault, you understand me!" I said. She just giggled. Then, on the crane about, say, across the whole rail, the boy with the blue hair showed up, only he had cat ears and a tail. I narrowed my eyes then looked at my hands, that were now white from holding onto the pole for so long. Ran looked at the boy behind us and then she looked really worried. "Karin-chan! Be careful, he just wants to ste-" The boy behind me flicked her. "So, your name is Karin?" he said with a smirk on his face. I turned around quickly and faced him. "Yeah, so what?!" I yelled. He laughed, "Oh nothing," he looked down at the ground, "anyway, thanks for the eggs." He was holding up my blue and my cream colored egg. He started walking forward. "GIVE ME MY EGGS!" I ran after him. He turned around and looked shocked, seeing me coming after him. My eggs slipped out of his hand. I grabbed them, but I fell and I turned so my back was facing the ground and my eggs were laying on my stomach with my hands over them. "Karin-chan!" Ran shouted flying fast, after me.
I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the impact of ground to hit my back, but instead, it was a cushion. I opened my eyes and saw I was sitting on a yellow thing. Then it disappeared. I landed on my feet and I turned around. It was Tadase-kun. I looked down and saw Ran checking the eggs. She sighed in relief and gave me a thumbs up, "They are a-ok!" she giggled. I sighed also. Then, the boy was standing in front of us. "Ikuto, you know it is against the rules to take unborn eggs." Tadase said, pointing his finger at him. Ikuto just laughed, "You would've done the same thing just to get the embryo. Well, see ya." He turned and walked off.
I put my eggs in my bag, slung my bag over my shoulder, and started walking. "Hey! Wait up!" Tadase called. He caught up with me and held his hand out. I placed my right hand on my hip, and put my left hand on my bag and held the strap. "Yes," I asked simply. He opened his hand and there was a beautiful lock with a white flower on it. "I think this is yours. It was left were you landed." He smiled. I looked at it questionably. "Uh… Thanks… I guess." I took it and placed it in my jacket pocket. "See ya later," I called over my shoulder. I walked back to school. Ran was just excited. She kept asking when she could look around the school. I just laugh and told her to go ahead.
After School
I couldn't find Ran, but instead, I ran into Kiseki. "Hello, my queen." Kiseki said bowing. I giggled, "Hello Kiseki. How are you?" He laughed menacingly, "I'm fine. Now, time for my question. How would you-" "Kiseki!" Someone interpreted him. I could literately see fumes coming out of his head. "WHAT TADASE-KUN?!" He yelled. Oh. That's whose Guardian Chara Kiseki is. Tadase's guardian. Tadase ran up and then, he looked at me, confused. "Hi Hinamori-chan. This is-" "Kiseki. I've known him since I was little." I interrupted. "Oh. Wait how-" "I gotta go. Bye." I interrupted again. I started running up to the front of the building. Ran was sitting in a tree singing, terribly. "KARIN-CHAN! YOU'RE BACK!" She sat on my shoulder and I walked us home. "I never left, Ran." I whispered. I didn't want people to think I was talking to myself. It would mess up my character. I was pretending to look around,searching for someone, but I was really looking at Ran. "Oh. Then, where were you?" I glanced around me, and nobody was near me. "Kiseki. Tadase's Guardian Chara." I said with a shrug. Ran giggled, "A-okay." She gave me a thumbs up. I laughed.
When I walked inside the house, I took my shoes off and slipped my house slippers on and put my shoes in the closet. "Hello, Karin-chan. How was school." My mom asked. I looked at her with a dull look and just shrugged. "COOL AND SPICY!" My mom yelled. I rolled my eyes, "I'm going upstairs to do my homework, Mama. Call me if Rima comes or somebody, or for dinner, please." I didn't wait for my answer, I just walked upstairs. I put all the eggs on the pillows on my desk. Ran was sitting on my bed post. "Karin-chan?" I looked over my shoulder at her, "Yes, Ran?" Ran looked down at the floor, "When do you think the eggs will be born? I mean. When?" she asked looking up at me. I shrugged, "I don-" "KARIN! COME DOWN!" My mom called from down stairs. I sighed and walked out of my bedroom.
When I was down stairs, my cousin, Amu, was sitting on the couch. Amu looked up and when she saw me, she jumped up, ran over, and hugged me. "Hi, Karin!" she said all giggly and happily. "I see your guardian chara was born," Amu whispered. I nodded, "Welcome back from the states, Amu." I turned around, and Suu, Amu's guardian, was hugging Ran, and they were both yelling and laughing. Amu yawned, "Well, if you don't mind, Karin-chan, and I are going to sleep. And we are going to borrow your bed." I laughed, "Have a nice nap."
After Amu went upstairs, I walked over to my mom, "Mama, I'm going to go visit my father." Mama sighed, "Okay, but be careful." I nodded then, I left Ran home with my eggs. (Karin is adopted. And the "lord' person they talk about is her Father)
When I got to the building, all of the people were smiling and bowing at me saying, "Good evening, Karin-chan." Got kind of annoying. I got into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. I bent my head down and closed my eyes. When the elevator got to were I needed to be, I opened my eyes and walked down the hall.
I waited outside the room, since people were inside talking to my father. I bent my head down again, and let my raven hair cover my face. When the people came out, I looked up and saw my fathers helper, I think, and Ikuto. He looked at me, and for some unknown reason, I blushed and looked back at the floor. I walked inside of the room. I stood in front of the stairs, with my hands in my jacket pockets. "Hello, Father," I said looking at the wall. I heard him stand up and open up the curtain, walk down the stairs, and stand in front of me. I glanced at him then went back at looking at the wall. "My little Karina," he said. I rolled my eyes, "How can you forget your own daughters name. Especially, since you named me. Its Karin not Karina," I growled. Then, Fathers helper and Ikuto came back in. Father turned around quickly and I just stared at the wall, my hands in my jacket pockets. Father went back up the stairs and up behind the curtain. I rolled my eyes. "It's nice to see you again K-" "I just came to see my terrible father," I said, interrupting the man. I pushed between him and Ikuto and left. "See you around, hopefully never, Father." I said before I left.
I got into the elevator and pressed the 1st floor button. As soon as the doors were about to close, two hands opened the doors back up and Ikuto stepped in. I bent my head down, making my hair cover my face. "So, you are Gozen's famous daughter," he asked. I lifted my head a little bit, "Yes, but I don't have to live with him. I'm a adopted child. But I still have to visit him." I rolled my eyes. I heard him chuckle, but I looked up at the elevator numbers. It was on the 13th floor. I sighed and leaned against the bars in front of the wall. "You must really hate your father, wanting to get out of this building so much," I looked up, sideways so he wouldn't see my face, at Ikuto. "I hate him a lot." The elevator got to the 1st floor and I stepped out quickly. "Goodbye, K-" "'Bye," I said as I ran out the doors to my house.
Ikuto's PoV:
I stepped out of the elevator and watched the girl run out the doors. I yawned and walked out the doors. "Ikuto! Ikuto!" Yoru, my guardian chara, yelled. "What, Yoru," I said sighing. "That's the girl from today! Then one that you were staring at outside the window, and the one from the construction site with the Kiddy King!" I looked at Yoru and shrugged, "That can't be her. She's to....to kept in." Yoru sighed, "What ever you say, Ikuto."
Karin's PoV:
When I got home, my mother ran up to me and checked me for broken bones and crap like that. When she finished, I got out of my shoes, slipped on my house shoes, and walked upstairs. Amu was playing with Suu and Ran. Ran looked at me and flew to me. She sat on my shoulder. "Why didn't you bring me?" she said, pouting. "Because, I needed someone to watch the eggs," I laughed. I sat down beside Amu on my bed, "Anything good happen?" Amu blushed, "Your cousin called, Kukai-san said to call back. Also said something about coming over to the 'place' for lunch." I giggled. Amu had this huge crush on my cousin and it was kind of scary that she is my family and so is Kukai.... SO! Nervous laugh time!
Amu and I yawned at the same time, looked at each other, and laughed. "Time for bed?" I asked, yawning again. Amu looked over at the clock. "It's almost eleven. And we have to get up early tomorrow morning." Amu shrugged and took a pillow and blanket off my bed then laid down on my floor. I flipped the the lights off and stumbled over Amu to my bed. I curled up under the sheets and fell asleep.
