I watched my pink haired beauty slowly breathe in next to me as the moonlight reflected off her pale smooth skin. I was still shocked that someone would help me, The Black Cat of Misfortune and his Cursed Violin, and allow me to live with them under their roof. And the chances of my little strawberry being the one to help me still baffled me. But this also gave me a huge chance to protect her from Easter.
Ever since that bastard Kazuomi set his eyes on the Humpty Lock, he wanted Amu and her four chara's to work for Easter. He wants to control her, take away her freedom and make her work against her friends and every single thing she stands for.
I will never let that happen.
Her soft and steady breathing became uneven and broken gasps and I gazed down at her heart-shaped face. I brushed a few stray locks of her hair from her slightly damp forehead. My little strawberry was having nightmares again. It was one of the side-effects of purifying X-Eggs. The process takes a massive toll on her – mentally and physically – but she would never tell her little Guardian friends that.
They only knew her façade. The Cool n' Spicy Hinamori Amu from Seiyo Elementary is who they know, not the cute, strong, adorable, shy, easily flustered and blushing Amu that I know. They don't know her true self, like I do. But even if it slowly tears her up inside, she still purifies to brinks of exhaustion, gets frequent fevers, and has nightmares all night as the consequence of healing dozens of X-Eggs a day and never shows a weakness, because to them she's just the strong and feisty Amu that has no feelings and couldn't care less about the world. The exact opposite of her true personality.
She began to twitch and groan softly as her beautiful golden eyes darted around under her closed eyelids. I began to stroke her soft pink hair and bought her fragile frame into my arms. I winced as she let out a whimper; I couldn't even imagine what kind of nightmare that was unfolding before her closed eyes. I felt her melt into my embrace and slowly wrap her tiny arms around my torso, making me hold her closer.
As I heard her whimpers and groans fade into silence and her ragged breathing evened out, I felt a rare smile come to my lips as she sighed in contentment and buried her face into my chest. I rested my head above hers and pressed my lips onto her hair and revelled about how I could feel every single ridge of her tiny figure lined up against mine and how warm her. I inhaled her strawberry scent that made my heart race a thousand miles a minute and my mind spin in pure bliss.
I felt my eyes close and even though in knew in the morning that she will definitely throw me out of her bed and call me a perverted cat as she rushes around to get dressed for school, I knew that every single moment was worth it.
(A/N:
My First Fan Fiction! After moving every single object in my room around and cleaning it with my best friend, and then sticking it back in less than ten hours, this story just flew out. Literally. Did I get the rating right? Oh, and I didn't add a disclaimer because I think by now it would be fairly obvious that I don't own Shugo Chara. What would I be doing writing Fan Fiction if I owned it? Now all I need is your opinion so I can see how I write and how I can improve my writing. R&R!)
