I don't own Shugo Chara.
There are many ways we can become a monster. Whether it be emotionally or physically. Yet the real question is once you become a monster can you go back? Or will it be to late?
Second Thorn
Utau's pov
These were are allies? A way to cheerful girl named Ran, who looked like she was cosplaying as a cheerleader. A girl named Lulu who looked as if the wind could blow her away. And a blonde shrimp named Tadase.
I looked at Tsukasa waiting for him to say he was joking. "And just what are they going to do? Scold the beast for bad manners?" I heard my brother Ikuto say sarcastically.
Kukai tried to cover up his laughter. Rima was clinging to Amu like usual. Amu was the only one who didn't seem phased. In fact ever since she heared that it was her dear friend who had caused the appocolypse she had been down.
Yet something else seemed off with her. My brother seemed off as well. The way he would look at his lover with guilty eyes worried me. Yet I knew we didn't have time to deal with that right now. The Tadase guy seemed to be the one in charge.
"Look I get it we don't look like much. Though I can assure you we are the top warrior's of the Guardian's." The boy said. I had no clue what these Guardians or whatever were but we couldn't be choosey right now.
Amu stepped forward, "Thank you for your help. We need all we can get." She said in a polite tone.
Ikuto's pov
I bit the inside of my cheek. I didn't like the way the boy looked at my strawberry. I managed to keep in control but settled pulling Amu against me and kissing her cheek softly. She of course reacted shyly but didn't move from my grasp.
Honestly the three "alies" all looked like weaklings. Even if they were in the Guardians I couldn't believe they would be much help. I would look after my family they were on their own. It may seem cruel but I wasn't going to go out of my way to help them.
Not if they were just going to get in the way.
Amu's pov
I was trying not to judge the three Guardians. If Tsukasa thought they would be of help they would be. I trusted him and so I tried to be friendly and polite. "So what exactly is the plan?" I asked wanting to already get this done with.
I was still hurt that this was all Nagi's doing. "Well we will help hold off any beast while you Amu get to Nagi. You will have to distract him and when he let's his guard down... well you know." The Tadase boy said.
Meaning that when Nagi let his guard down I was to kill him. I dug my nails into my palm trying to steel myself against what I was going to have to do. Why did it have to be me. Then again in a way this was all my fault.
I felt Ikuto's hands running up and down my arms in a comforting motion. I sunk back against him. His arms wrapping around me keeping me grounded. Tonight this would all end.
We had to hurry before Nagi managed to completely release the demon king.
Outer pov
The safe zone set up by the mysterious team had been attacked. Yaya, Kairi, and the rest of her team had managed to get most of the people out in time but they had lost a few people. Including the brave old women who liked to be called Granny. She had sacrificed herself to allow them to get out.
Unsure of where to go Yaya decided the only place they could go was back to that house with the odd residence. Telling them that she had failed to protect one of the people from their group wasn't something she wanted to do but that place looked more reinforced then anywhere else she had seen that hadn't already been over run by the momsters. She looked at the group and told them the plan. A few people decided to split off stating they would rather chance it on their own.
So now they were down to a small group. Hikaru had takeno on the role of helping keep the children in line. Despite he himself being a child. Kairi was using the little computer to check the streets, he had set cameras up a few days ago.
When he gave the clear signal Yaya would lead the others to that street and they would hide waiting for Kairi to say the next street was clear. It was slower this way but safer considering the size of their group.
Farther away there was a man with purple hair. He was overseeing the awakening of the Demon king. It wouldn't be long now and soon he would get his wish. That was what Nagi thought as he watched the beast working to uncover the seal that held the key to getting his Amu.
