Enter: Yume Tsubasa and her Multiple Personalities
"It's the squirrel!" Halloween-boy and I looked upon the dappled menace in pure horror.
"We're gonna die!"
"Taken down by killer squirrels, oh the irony!"
We cower against the wall, doomed for sure.
Okay, pause
Yeah, this makes absolutely no sense, so let's start from the beginning, ne?
It was my first day at Seiyo elementary, and I was not happy.
The clear blue sky simply mocked me with its happiness. It was not a happy day, it should be dark and stormy, not clear and happy!
Ranting aside, you're probably wondering who the heck I am, right?
My name is Yume(dream) Tsubasa(wings). I am a lazy, sarcastic and pessimistic fifth grader who has little to no hope for the future. Pleasant, aren't I?
Anyway, I have straight slivery-white hair with an electric blue streak and sparkling violet eyes covered by electric blue and black cat-eyed glasses. Haha, oh yeah, I'm wearing the boy's uniform.
You see, I am all-American. In America, we do not have such short skirts. We can choose to higher them on our own, damn it!
*cough cough* sorry, you see, I've never liked skirts in the first place, but have always bared it because I could put shorts under since it went down to about my knee. No such thing in Japan. You'd be lucky if your underwear wasn't showing. So, when a form for my uniform came, the boy's was "accidentally" checked off, and that was that.
Well, besides the boy's uniform, I have on black combat boots that go to just below the knee and thin black socks peeking out from underneath. I have on metallic black cross earrings and a black ribbon choker with a seven pointed star that had a gem with a color from the rainbow on each point. Lastly, my hair is up in a simple messy pony-tail and I have a big bang covering a lot of my left eye and some framing the right side of my face. In preparation of school, I had a black messenger bag with a picture of the Naruto crew over my shoulder. Oh yeah, I look bad ass.
Truth is, I'm nervous as heck. I just moved from America to Japan because of my dad's job, and I really didn't want to leave. The only reason I even managed to get this far is.........
"Stop being such a downer Yume-chan, you're harshing my mellow, cha nya~!"
My wonderful shugo charas.
My first one, the one that just spoke, is Sakka(artist).
Sakka is a laid back, rebellious, artistic neko, who always speaks her mind. She has a purple bomber jacket, black combat capris, and black combat boots. She has a red and black electric guitars on her back and a paint brush behind her ear. Obviously, she is a neko, and therefore has black cat ears and a black cat tail swishing leisurely behind her. The neko had silver hair in two spiky pig-tail stubs, mischievous electric green eyes, and a choker with a peace sign on it.
"I agree with Sakka! Face this problem straight forward and rip it to shreds! ("That's not what I said, cha nya~!")"
"Don't listen to that savage! Present yourself with poise and grace! Then you'll have them eating out of the palm of your hand! *evil giggle*"
Those are two of my most troublesome chara, Kokoro(mind, heart, spirit) and Kaori(fragrance).
Kokoro is a sporty, tomboy, straightforward and takes no prisoners inu (or ookami, no one really knows). She takes all her sports seriously, is competitive, and has one heck of a temper. Basically, she's a monster. She has deep blue eyes and a chocolate brown tail with two chocolate brown ears sticking out in chocolate brown hair that was restrained in a low ponytail. Kokoro wears a midnight blue sports jersey with a sky blue #7 on it. She has black soccer shorts and sky blue soccer socks with shin guards that can be seen slightly bulging from underneath. On her chibi feet are dark blue cleats that had sky blue shoelaces. Lastly, she has a dark and sky blue baseball hat and a black choker with a dog tag attached that had a paw print imprinted on it.
Kaori is a ladylike, girly-girl, sinister and deceptive kitsune. She always presents herself with the poise and pretense of a lady, but in reality she is sly and manipulative like the fox she is. Basically, she's a snake. She has hot pink eyes and long flaming ginger hair (no she is not the dreaded dumb blond. She's not dumb anyway.....and she's a chara) with two ginger fox ears sticking out and a poofy white tipped ginger tail swishing behind her. She is adorned in a satin hot pink dress with a red sash in the middle and red hearts going up the bottom right sides. On her dainty feet were red heals and she had long white gloves going right above her elbows. Kaori also had a red over-the-shoulder purse and a black choker with a red bow that had a hot pink heart in the middle on it.
Kokoro and Kaori hate each other.
And, of course, since my life must have irony, they're twins. A.K.A, born at the same time. You can imagine how that went.
"Don't fight......."
The last of the charas orbiting around my head is Akira(intelligent).
Akira is a shy, humble, innocent, bookworm and smart usagi. She has deep brown- almost champaign red eyes (like Yuuki from Vampire Knight) and short deep brown hair with two white floppy ears sticking out and a fluffy white tail sticking out. Akira has a light pink Chinese top that has gold stitches and a pea green slightly-above-the-knee skirt. She had white knee socks and brown dress shoes with suede bows on it. On her upper arms there were pea green ribbons that tied off in bows and little monocle glasses (it's like two monocles attached like glasses, but don't have any legs so are just perched on the nose). She always has a book and has a black choker with a light orange carrot attached.
Overall, I'd say.......
I'm one confused child *sweatdrop*
"I'm fine you guys, it's natural to be nervous," I stated evenly.
"There's still no reason to be nervous, cha nya~," Sakka grumbled while looking to the side. I smiled slightly at her and couldn't help but appreciate the worry that she doesn't like to show or feel.
"And you two stop bickering, you're worrying Akira and starting a ruckus," I chastised my two troublesome charas. They 'humphed' while looking away from each other and Akira blushed and put her face into her book.
I sighed and folded my arms behind my head as I began to pick up the pace when the school gates were in sight.
"Let's just get this over with," I mumbled to myself. I never liked blowing things out of proportions, like my friends so often do, so the faster I get this done, the quicker this all blows over.
As I entered the grounds, I stared in semi-awe at the all the laughing kids goofing off and playing around.
I couldn't help but be somewhat relieved that the school didn't look strict and the people looked friendly.
I let a lopsided smile appear on my face as I lazily slunk into the school grounds and towards the school.
Some kids stopped their activity and stared at me while they started gossiping about me with their friends. I couldn't blame them though, I stuck out like a sore thumb since I wore the boy's uniform and all. At that moment I cursed my charas- Sakka mostly.
She knew this was more my style and encouraged me to go for it. Rebel! Be yourself! Do what you want to do! and all that crap. Kokoro was completely behind it since she is a tomboy herself. Kaori was immediately against it, but eventually was coaxed to the dark side (though she is often the dark side herself) with pretty words of "fashion" and "catching the boy's interest". Akira's, "as long as you don't get in trouble," sealed the deal. I was outvoted by beings 1/100th of my size.
I really do prefer this over the girl's uniform, and I don't really care what other people think about me, I just don't like people judging me so quickly.
They often get the wrong ideas.
"Did you hear?" I couldn't help from hear a girl from nearby saying, "she moved to Japan from America because she was in the secret service, but got discovered when doing a spy mission and had to flee the country!"
My jaw dropped.
Are you kidding me?! That is ridiculous! That is beyond a rumor! It's like an anime, or a fanfiction! Psh, like I could ever be in a fanfiction!
I was awoken from my musings of anime, manga, and fanfictions that I often slip into when I am on a completely different subject, when Sakka began playing her guitar right next to my ear.
I was conked on the head by Sakka's guitar, yelled at Kokoro for ignoring her, chastised by Kaori for being unladylike and spacing out, and gently told to it is unwise to not being attention to my surroundings by Akira. After being looked at weird by various kids for talking to "myself", I made it to the office and got my timetable, and then manage to make it to my home room.
That is where the real fun begins.
I took a deep breath in and sighed it out before I entered the room. I would have felt better if my charas were behind me, but I decided this was something I needed to do myself. So, my charas all retreated into their eggs and were now resting in my bag.
When I walked in, the room got really quiet. All eyes turned to me, including the teacher, and I got a little nervous. It was really unnerving to be the center of attention, but I shook it off. It was all too bothersome.
Then, the teacher (who happened to be female) grinned, "Oh, hello, you must be one of the new students. Do you happen to know where the other is?"
I was about to reply with a negative, when the door I just entered slammed open and just missed the back of my head.
I didn't flinch a bit, not because I was cool like that, no, because I simply have horrible reaction time. It just seemed like I was one of those emotionless cool types, but hey, I'm not complaining that people take my lameness for coolness.
"Sorry I'm late! I slept in," an, obviously male, voice gasped from behind me.
I slowly turned around, not to be dramatic, but I was still slightly shocked from almost receiving a concussion, and looked down at the boy bent in half and making an idiot of himself.
"I-" he suddenly stood up and we were now standing nose to nose.
"Who the hell are you?"
An anime vein appeared on my forehead and I swear my eyes went completely white, " I'm the girl you just nearly gave a concussion, baka."
The idiot boy appeared to get just as angry as me, and we entered in a glare-off.
Finally, I took a step back and said, "don't you know not to get that close to a person's face, pervert?"
"Whaaaat?!"
I took this time to actually see what he looked like. He had disheveled, short, messy black hair and glowing orange eyes (weird). He wore the regular boys uniform, but it was un-tucked, the tie was loose, and it was messily put together (I wore it this way too, but it looks more put-together). Some interesting points of him was that he had is ears pierced with really little hoops, a studded wrist band, and a dog color with the kanji for courage. Huh, so someone looks as weird as me.
"Hey Halloween-boy, stop ranting like an idiot, we're in the middle of class," I stated all too calmly.
He stopped and looked dumbfounded, "huh, Halloween?"
"Yeah, the colors orange and black are typically related to Halloween."
It took him a minute, but the slow boy seemed to register the "classroom" part. He turned to the class and seemed to resemble a deer in headlights.
"*chuckle* Now that that's done, why don't you introduce yourself?" chuckled the teacher happily. Well, I'm happy to see that she's enjoying this.
"Didn't give me much of a choice, did you?" I mumbled soft enough for no one to hear, but then turned to face the class with a stoical face and hands in pockets and began, "yo, my name is Yume Tsubasa, nice to meet 'cha."
The class all the sudden broke out in a chorus of 'oohs' and 'ahhs' and began saying how "calm and cool" I am.
Freaks
Really, who the heck says those kinds of things?! I suppose it's my own fault though, my outer character slipped out again. You see, I'm not "calm and cool" at all. I'm actually pretty spazzy. I don't like the thought of being cool at all, I think it's lame and overrated. I'm not calm either, I'm pretty laid-back, not calm. For some reason though, I just always act freaking condescending, calm, cool, cold, you know apparently I have a lot of C's to describe me *sweatdrop*. Actually, those are pretty much all the attributes I hate in a person. I'm one messed up fruit loop........
"Good, the boy next," said the teacher I don't know the name of yet.
The students were whispering about how he almost hurt "Yume-sama" and- okay, I just gotta cut in here. Is it even legal to have fangirls when you're a girl?! It's just not right.
Back to the present, a thought occurred to me. They actually hadn't seen him in full view yet, seeing as he had a dramatic entry and such. My inner Kaori chuckled evilly to herself. I'd get out of the spotlight (which I don't know how I go put into in the first place) and it'd be amusing (if not slightly annoying) a win-win situation!
Halloween-boy faced the class and I swear even some of the boys had nose bleeds. Yeah, he was cute, (Sakka's input: "Yume-chan refuses to say 'hot' about any boy, cha nya~") but I really just don't care. I've never been one to give a flying fig (yes fig) about looks, and I'm not about to go fangirl now.
"What's wrong with them?" Halloween asked, clueless.
"They're simply stunned by you're beauty,"........it's the truth.
"Are you mocking me?!" he asked, as fire appeared around him.
"Settle down class and let him introduce himself!" the teacher said and everything went dead quiet. Which, quit frankly, freaked me out.
"I'm Daisuke(great help) Tenmei(dawn), uh, nice too meet you," he said in a nervous but confident manner (…..if that makes sense).
The teacher clapped and said, "okay, I'm Mrs. Akari. Yume, please take the window seat, and Daisuke, please sit diagonal from her.
The rest of class went boringly and was only occasionally interrupted by me seeing some kid staring (creepily) at me and them 'kyaaing' and looking somewhere else, or Daisuke and I's random glare-downs. My charas seemed to have fallen asleep and did not seemed to be inclined to save me from my misery. Joy. Luckily, I had a window to stare out of, chu~.
The lunch bell rang soon enough and I got the heck out of there before some deranged fangirl or psycho fanboy could ask me to eat lunch with them.
I settled down under a sakura tree and sighed. Today was not going how I planned. I began to eat my bento and was about to shake my charas awake when someone interrupted me.
"What are you doing here?"
I looked up to see Daisuke, A.K.A. Halloween, and stared at him like he was an idiot, which he was, "I'm eating lunch, and since I was here before you, it would be appropriate if I asked you what you were doing here."
He turned a lovely shade of red before calming down and grumbling before he plopped down next to me.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked tensely.
"The damn weird people at this school are stalking me," he mumbled. Okay, who could resist laughing at that? Of course, he attempted to shut me up by throwing a water bottle at me, but he missed.
As I was laughing, I didn't notice a little figure floating up to my face.
"Looks like you've hooked yourself a feisty one Dai!"
My laughing immediately stopped and I looked at the little floating person in front of me. He had a red leather jacket with a black muscle shirt underneath. He also had on black leather pants with black boots. He had little red devil horns sticking out from messy black hair and a red devil tail that matched the gleam of his red eyes. Lastly, he had a black and red guitar on his back.
"Chara?"
Suddenly, the chara and his owner stiffened.
"What, is it a rabid squirrel?" I questioned sarcastically.
Haha, stupid irony.
Of course, when I turned around, there was a very angry squirrel that had been hit by a thermos.
We ran(/floated).
We ran around all the campus and still couldn't get rid of that damn fur ball.
So here we are, cornered and about to be killed by a squirrel (no, I'm not being dramatic).
Then, my charas woke up.
"Why the hell was I woken up?"
"The squirrel did it."
Ah, you see, Sakka's scary when she wakes up.
Daisuke and I looked at each other and then collapsed on each other laughing. I don't know what the hell just happened, but I think I just made my first friend here.
We'd take on whatever Seiyo through at us together, because we just became friends in some sort of crazy messed up way.
And that's just the way I like it.
Yay, the first one is done, I hope you like it! I didn't think anyone had ever written about the guardians before Amu and the gang, so I decided to try it out. Tell my how it is!! Here's some translation:
Neko: cat
Inu: dog
Ookami: cat
Kitsune: fox
Usagi: rabbit
Baka: idiot
