'Why did I have to move again? Seems like he wants me more than just a couple miles away...' I grumble and pack my bag for school.
"A new school. I hope we'll be able to make some friends. I'd prefer some other guardian charas though..." sighs Mika. Mika's my Chara she's been with me for a couple years now and is my closest and possibly only friend.
I give her an encouraging smile and say, "Don't worry, maybe we'll get lucky this time. Third times the charm?"
"But the other schools we've been to, no one has had a guardian chara. What makes you think there'll be some here? Plus, there's no guarantee we won't have to move again," says Mika. Her ears droop and her tail stops moving. I pat her gently on the head.
Mika wore a regular short-sleeved shirt with an open black vest over it; she had a wavy dark grey skirt and black dress shoes. Her long white hair was pulled back in a braid and her white cat ears were twitching slightly.
"We've gone back to where we started. We were born here, well I was anyway, then we moved. We moved and moved again. After five moves I finally end up back here," I explain.
"Yeah. And maybe you'll see your old friends!" says Mika, her tail beginning to wag.
"It's best if we don't meet again" I reply coldly., "I hoped you'd understand that from when I never put back up the pictures of us together." She puts her head down in gloom. I just motion for her to get a move on and pick up my bag.
"Don't you think you'll get in trouble for wearing your uniform like that?" she asks, trying to change the now tense mood.
"Nope. And even if I did, it's too late to change back now and I won't buy a new one," I reply simply. Mika shrugs and I lock the door.
FF to When I Get to School
"Okay class, we have a new student. Her name is Mayumi Ikoma," introduces the teacher while I just stare blankly at the class. 'They say first impressions are everything. It's best if people don't get too close to me.' I scan the classroom and walk over to the only free desk without saying a word. The whole class sweatdrops. I looked to my right and noticed I was sitting beside an energetic looking boy with spiky brown hair.
"Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Kukai Souma," said the boy enthusiastically. I give him a quick, small smile and focus my eyes on the board. I had asked Mika to take a look around the school so I could find my way around without getting lost.
FF to After School
'I don't have any reason to hang around here anymore, but I don't want to go home just yet.'
"Did you see any interesting places on your tour?" I ask Mika as we exit the classroom.
"Well, there was this one place that looked really cool. I'll take you there," was Mika's reply before she flew away. I run after her, and find that she stopped in front of a big building that looked to be made of glass. Mika goes up to the glass and presses against it. She pulls back in surprise and dashes behind me. Before I could ask what was wrong, three girls and two guys, one of whom was Kukai, ran out of the building. I cock my head slightly to the side and give them a puzzled look.
"Oh! Ikoma-san! What are you doing here?" inquires Kukai.
I shrug and say, "I was just passing by when I saw this building and thought I would get a better look at it, it's quite nice."
"Oh let me introduce you! These are my friends. The pink haired girl is Amu Hinamori. The blonde boy is Tadase Hotori. The Black haired girl is Nadeshiko Fujisaki and last but not least the youngest is Yaya Yuiki," introduces Kukai as he points to each one of them. As I was examining them I noticed what looked like shugo charas. 'They all have them... Should I tell them I have one too?'
Shaking my head slightly, I smile at them. "Pleased to meet you."
"This building is where the guardians of Seiyo Elementary meet to discuss the school's events among other things," Tadase says with a smile. Frowning slightly I wonder why he seems like someone I knew.
I raise an eyebrow, "Why would this school need "guardians"?"
The one named Yaya butts in with a big smile on her face, "It sounds cool! That's why!" I smile at her, she's just like an overgrown baby. Does that mean that the little baby chara is hers? My green eyes shift so I'm looking at where the charas are gathered. It looks like they're having some intense discussion but I'm not close to hear what it's about. I look back towards the guardians and listen quietly to their explanation of the duties of the guardians and about how I'll like it at Seiyo while only giving a few of my own remarks.
When the explanation was done I sigh, "It sounds like you guys have it pretty rough... Well... except for the whole tea and treats part..." I smile, "It's great to get to know you guys, maybe I'll see you again tomorrow, but for now I should be heading back to my house I have a movie I've been dying to finish."
We wave our goodbyes and I turn around and walk away. Mika had left after I had started talking to them. "I wonder if she's still around here somewhere?" I wonder outloud as I keep an eye out for the little chara.
FF to Night Time
'I can't sleep.' "Hey, Yumi-chan are you awake?" inquires Mika. I smile and sit up.
"I can't seem to go to sleep," I say. Mika nods in agreement and I walk over to my closet to find something to wear. I finally pick out my outfit and open the window. "Mika," I say. She nods and we both say, "Character change!" I grow white cat ears and tail that blend in nicely with my silvery hair. I quickly jump out of the window and land carefully and quietly in a nearby tree.
