Hello, readers! . . . If there is anyone reading this, I mean.
Well, this is my first Shugo Chara! fan fic and also my first fan fic on . So I'm kind of excited and apprehensive at the same time. Excited because it's always exciting for me to start a new story. Apprehensive because I don't know if you, the reader, will like it. I hope you do!
So, let's just jump right into the story then. Here's the first part of it! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, do not own Shugo Chara! or any of the familiar characters, which makes me sad. Any characters that are unfamiliar, I do own, though, which makes me kind of happy. I would much rather own Ikuto, though. Sigh.
When Opposites Attract
Prologue
It was the end of summer and devastatingly hot. A 17-year-old boy was laying in the shade of a huge maple tree, asleep. He had dark blue hair, dark blue eyes, and a tall, lean but strong figure.
Curled up close to the boy's ear was a tiny creature, only a few inches tall. If the strangeness of the creature's size wasn't enough, he also had cat ears, a cat tail, and cat paws, all of which were covered with a soft, dark blue fur. He, like his owner, had dark blue hair, but instead of blue eyes, his were a piercing yellow.
The small creature appeared at first to be asleep as well, but at closer inspection, one would be able to notice his uneven breathing, scrunched closed eyes, and razor-sharp claws that were extended from his paws.
Finally, exasperated, the small creature shot into the air, then hovered near his owner's face.
". . . Hey, Ikuto?" he said loudly in a childish voice. His owner, Ikuto, didn't respond. "I – ku – to!" the creature said again, louder this time, while leaning closer to Ikuto's face. "Ikuto, wake up, nya!"
Finally, there was a response. Ikuto's face twitched, and then he slowly opened one of his eyes to stare knowingly at his shugo chara.
"Yoru," he said in a deep voice that betrayed no emotion. "If you want to play, the answer is no." With that, he closed his eye and tried unsuccessfully to go back to sleep.
"Ikuto!" Yoru exclaimed exasperatedly. "You aren't going to do it, are you, nya?" he queried, floating down to sit on Ikuto's chest.
Ikuto opened both of his eyes and stared at the green of the leaves above him. "No."
Yoru sighed and looked openly relieved. "Oh. 'Cause when you didn't say anything against their plan, I thought – "
Ikuto sat up abruptly, simultaneously displacing and interrupting Yoru. "Sorry, Yoru," he said in reply to Yoru's cries of indignation. Yoru quieted and floated up to settle onto Ikuto's shoulder. "But I said I understood, not that I agreed to help."
Yoru grinned mischievously at Ikuto's brilliance. "Well, good, nya!" He exclaimed, floating off of Ikuto's shoulder and back in front of his face. Grinning, he continued, "Now that the problem's solved, will you play with me, nya?"
