I do not own Shugo Chara. If I did I would make sure Shugo Chara Party was never created.
Chapter 1
Ever since the battle between the Guardians and Easter, everything had returned to normal. With no one increasing the number of X Eggs, barely any had been seen. Any X Eggs founded in the Seiyo area has been cleansed by the Guardians; though the Embryo remains missing. Many believe that the Embryo is all a hoax, but some believe it's still out there. That where one company comes in...
"Sir, are you sure this plan will work?" Sato Akira asked. Akira was an average size man with a bald head and a goatee. Akira swiftly glanced over his shoulder at the two guards standing next to the door. He waited for the chair to turn over and a response from the director
"Well Akira, what do you think?" the director asked. Akira tensed. The director turned to him. "We know how to lure in the Embryo, all we need are the two players. It would be fairly easy."
Akira nodded. "Yes! Really easy." Someone snickered. Akira glared.
"You seem nervous, is everything alright?" the director asked. Akira shook his head vigorously.
"Of course not! It's just…." His voiced trailed and he glanced down at the second shadow behind. "Are you sure she's ready?"
"Of course, we've trained her for this haven't we?" the director chuckled. "Now, you're ready for the Guardians?"
Behind the shadow, the girl replied with a grin, "Of course. I was born ready."
*Next Day*
Amu gripped her shoulder bag. She felt an uneasy feeling in her stomach and her palms were getting sweaty. She looked at her new school. It was far different from her old one. She was quite taken away by the feature of the school. Instead of the castle-like structure, the school resembled a bricked mansion. The school had a brown color tinted with red and white windows on the three-storied building. There was a clock tower that was connected to the school and a Japanese flag placed on top of the tower. A brick road lead to a water fountain surrounded by bushes and into the school.
"Waa~, middle school looks so cool," Su breathed. Amu nodded in agreement. She watched as a couple of students ran past her and into the crowd of students surrounding the class list board.
"Yup, new school, new students and new adventures," Amu replied. She smiled at the thought of that. She put both hands on her hips and puffed out her chest. "This year I shall make new friends!"
"That's the spirit!" Su said, with Ran cheering Amu's name from the background.
"You still need to know what class you're in," Miki told her.
Amu paused. "I-I know that."
"Yeah, there is a big crowd over there," Ran added. Amu looked back at the class list board which was surrounded by students. She sighed.
"Here we go again…"
Amu walked into the crowd, trying to slip between students and getting pushed by some in return. It took a while, but she managed to get up close. She scanned the board to find her name.
"No...no...no...," she muttered. "Ah, found it!" She frowned. "I can't seem to find Tadase-kun's name…"
"Why are you looking for his name?" Miki asked suspicious. The other two giggled. Amu cheeks turned red and she looked away.
"N-No reason, I just don't want to be alone," Amu answered. Her guardian characters grinned. "I also wonder...where's Rima?"
"Same as you," Miki pointed out. Amu sighed in relief. 'At least I have my friends with me.' She pushed past the frantic students and started heading to the school doors.
"Hinamori-san!" a voice called out. Amu froze and her cheeks turned red. She recognized that voice anywhere.
"T-Tadase-kun?" she question, her heart pounding rapidly. Tadase ran up to her and smiled.
"There's more students than last year," Tadase said. He looked towards the board. He smiled. "Looks like we're both in the same class."
Amu felt her heart skipped a beat. 'Oh prince~' She quickly stop fantasizing and looked away. "Y-Yeah, looks like it."
Ran sighed. "Her outer character is showing."
"Yeah," both Miki and Su agreed. Kiseki tilt his head confused.
Tadase smiled sweetly at Amu. "Well should we go to class then?"
Amu nodded. "Y-Yeah."
The walked to their homeroom between them was quiet. The hallways were busy, there was students looking for their classes, students stopping to chat with old friends, and teacher trying to get to their assigned classroom on time. Amu constantly scanned the hallways trying to find anyone else she was familiar with. With no luck she entered the class with Tadase. Much to her dismays, there was a lot more students in the class than in Sixth Grade Star Class.
"Do you think Mashiro-san is here?" Tadase asked.
Amu shrugged. "Her name was on the list, maybe she's running-"
"Look it's the Guardians!" a girl pointed out to her friend. The two of them squealed gleefully.
"Looks like our reputation is known here too," Tadase said. Amu nodded. 'Or they went to the same school'.
"Amu-chan!" Manami called out. She waved at Amu and made a gesture for her to come over. Amu looked back to Tadase.
"I'll just sit over there," Tadase told her, pointing to the seat at the corner. Amu watch silently as Tadase walked to the group of boys. Inside of her she felt regret and sadden that he left. She then turned her attention back to Manami and Wakana.
"It looks like we're in the same class again," Wakana said. Amu nodded. Manami rolled her eyes playfully.
"And just as usually, I'm stuck with Wakana again in homeroom," Manami replied.
"Wha? What does that supposed to me!?" Wakana asked, surprised by what her friend said.
"I'm kidding," Manami giggled. "Anyway, do you know what club you're joining in?"
Amu shrugged. The only club she ever been in was the Guardians club and there was none for middle school. "I might not join any."
"What?" Manami and Wakana exclaimed.
"But there so many here in middle school," Wakana said. Manami nodded in agreement.
"I think I may join the gardening club, I heard that they always replace the school garden with new flowers," Manami explained.
"I might join too."
"Na uh. We're already in the same class together and I want to do something alone," Manami augured. Wakana sighed.
"Then I'll join cultural club. I always wanted to learn new cultures," Wakana explains.
"I guess I join art club-" Amu began
"I'm not helping you," Miki muttered.
"Or maybe cooking club-"
"Won't help you either," Su sang.
"Or maybe a sport club…"
"Nope," Ran replied. Amu sighed.
"I-I'll think of it later..." Amu murmured.
The door slapper opened, causes nearly everyone to shriek. Everyone's head whipped over to the door where a female teacher stood. She laughed awkwardly and moved towards her desk. Her hair was in a mess bun and her clothes looked like it was put on at the last minute. She placed her bag on the desk and then wrote her name on the chalkboard.
"Hello class, my name is Ms. Hirano and I'll be your homeroom teacher for the rest of the year," the young lady explained. "I will assign everyone's their seat in 5 minutes."
The class continued on their conversations. Amu sat in the seat, the left corner of the room where she can stare at the window and not get judged. She waited quietly for the minutes to pass and her thoughts drifted off. Someone blew into her ear, causing to shriek and cover her ears. She whip her head to see the person behind her.
"R-Rima!?" Amu exclaimed. Rima looked at here.
"Hi."
"Why you did that for?" Rima shrugged. "You have to have a reason for that-!"
"Now class, I'm going to assign you all to your seats!" Ms. Hirano exclaimed with a cheerful smile. Amu sweatdropped at the teacher's sudden outburst.
"Great, another cheeky teacher," she grumbled. Rima smirked at the comment.
Ms. Hirano pulled out a paper from her desk and began to assign seat. Everyone was all scrambled around, some were disappointed that they were separated from their friends while others didn't care. Amu leaned against the board with Rima staring blankly at the back wall. Tadase had already been seated and Amu knew after the second row was filled that she wouldn't be seated next to him. She felt disappointed, but hope that she'll be seated close to Rima.
"Mashiro, Rima, you'll be sitting in the last chair," Ms. Hirano said. Rima looked up at the teacher, and followed where she pointed too.
"See you, Amu," Rima replied. Amu watched as her friend left, leaving her alone with five other students. She stood up straight, knowing she'll be called next any second now.
Four students later and Amu's name was called. She glanced over to the teacher and muttered, "Whatever." Ms. Hirano blinked, but quickly disregarded her remark. She assigned the last person their seat and smiled at the class.
"Well class, this is your assigned seat for the rest of the school year," she replied. That earned a few groans. "Now, now children, I'm only your homeroom teacher and you'll be lucky if the other teachers decide to move your seat."
Ms. Hirano briefly explain about how each class was 50 minutes long and that there's have an hour break between two classes for lunch. She added that the students would have 9 different teachers for each class. Ms. Hirano then wrote down the classes in order:
Japanese Language
Mathematics
Science
Social Studies
Music
Fine Art
Physical Education/Health
Industrial Arts/Homemaking
English
"These are the classes that you'll be taking all year. Everyone here is required to join one club and there will be a list of clubs by the end of the day," Ms. Hirano explained. She looked at the students faces. "Oh come now, it's only the first day. Brighten up!"
One student raised their hand. "What's English for?"
"Ah, yes! I was waiting for someone to ask about that," Ms. Hirano said. "All students required to talk a language, which is English."
"Isn't English...hard?" another student asked. Ms. Hirano shook her head.
"You'll be learning simple things so don't worry." She smiled. "Any questions?" The class stayed silent. She looked around the classroom one more time before picking up her books. She waved. "Well, see you tomorrow!"
The class sat there quietly. No one said anything. Then someone began laughing. And then another and soon laughter spread throughout the class.
"Oh man, I can't believe we're 7th graders!"
"This is so cool!"
"It's nice that we're in a new school!"
"Yeah and newer kids too!"
"Maybe some cute girls are out there too!"
"I swear you boys are all such pigs!"
"Hey! Maybe there are some cute boys too, but we already have Guardians in this school right?"
Amu grinned at the mention of the Guardians. They were right about the Guardians being all in one school again; Tadase, Rima, Nagihiko, Kukai, and her. Her mind began to drift off thinking about what would happen now with no Easter, until door opened. The class looked over to the teacher. He was a young man with brown hair slicked back and thin eyebrows. The air tense as the class watch the teacher walk to the desk, then begin writing on the chalkboard. It read: Mr. Kaneko. He turned around to face the class.
"Hello students. I am your Japanese Language teacher, sensei Kaneko," he replied. "And today class, we're learning grammar."
End of Chapter 1.
