Well, here is chapter two~! I hope you enjoy it, like I enjoy writing it.
I remind you that I accept anonymous reviews so you can all review and spread the love. I would appreciate some constructive critique, thanks.
Oh and I forgot to tell you this is an AU story-no shugo charas, sorry.
Me: The second chapter is here~! Looks like you are going on a date, Kyo-chan. Aren't you excited?
Kyono: What? I-I, it's not a date!*blushes furiously*
Daisuke: You like me. Recognize this. It's obvious.
Kyono: I don't like you!
Ikuto: Oh, come on. He is my son after all.
Me: How did you get here? O_O'''
Ikuto: What? I am a character too, right... You know, it is not too late to turn this story into Amuto.
Me: Umm...NO, this will not be an Amuto, but maybe I'll do an one-shot later.
Ikuto: Yeah! Amu will be mine! Now I can get out of here.*turns to walk away*
Me: Hey! If you are already here, do the disclaimer. NOW!
Ikuto: Heh, BlackCatNeko999 doesn't own me or Shugo Chara! She only owns her OCs. Imagine if she actually owned it. The horror!
Me: SHUT UP! R&R!

What a Love Triangle
Chapter two: What, a double date? Part I
oooooooooo
It was a beautiful Saturday morning, about 9 am, and our dear Kyono was still asleep. It was so peaceful outside, not even a sound. She was hugging her pink pillow close to her chest. She uttered some incoherent words while turning on the other side.
Yeah, she was sleeping peacefully until her bedroom door was kicked open by her little brother.
''Onechan! Onechan, wake up or you will be late for breakfast!'' Arashi told her then closed the door.
Kyono suddenly opened her amber eyes and moved her gaze toward the bedside clock. 9:07...wait what?
''What? I overslept again. I'm gonna be late!'' she yelled and fell out of the bed. 'Wait, it's still summer break so we don't have school today, plus it's Saturday...but, I must get ready for my meeting with the twins.' She found herself tangled in her own sheets when this thought crossed her mind.
After four minutes of fighting with the sheets Kyono found her way to the bathroom. A quick shower, that would be very nice. She stripped and let the hot water caress her skin. After she stepped out, Kyono wrapped a towel around herself. Stepping out of the bathroom, she began to gather her clothes for the day. What should she wear? Hmm...not too formal because it's not a date, but she can't dress like a tomboy either so, after some moments of thinking, she settled for a silky, two inches above the knee-length, black skirt, a cute, dark pink shirt that said with big, black, bold letters 'cutie' with a tight leather jacket over it, some lace, over knee-length, pink tights too and a pair black, short-heeled boots some with some silver charms hanging on each side. In addition to her outfit Kyono added some star shaped, silver earrings and an argent bracelet.
'Way too formal but whatever, I can't change my mind now.' And with that thought she placed her outfit on her now neatly made bed and proceeded to put on a big, white T-shirt and a pair of green capri. She didn't bothered to tie her long hair in its usual high ponytail.
She then sprinted down the stairs and into the spacious kitchen.
Amu was preparing breakfast and Kukai was reading some sport magazine while sipping from his cup of hot coffee. Her sweet, little brother, Arashi, was waiting impatiently at the wooden, right-angled table. His small fingers were clutching the edge of the table so hard that you'd think it will break. So hungry he was.
Kyono took a seat beside Arashi and let herself enveloped in the wonderful smell that was coming from the stove. She could feel the sweetness of the meal in progress of preparation. That could mean only one thing...''Dorayaki!''(A/N:Dorayaki are Japanese pancakes; so yummy :D)
She almost squealed in delight. They were her favorite and it wasn't everyday that her mother made them. She loved them with some chocolate and strawberries or cherries. They were a great combination. Now she was happy that the pink haired boy waked her up.
They all ate breakfast enjoying the wonderful taste of pancakes. Amu was going to go shopping for the unborn baby with Arashi. She did not want to leave him alone in the house, again. Kukai had some errands to do and he promised he'll try to get home as soon as possible. They shared a quick kiss and he was out the door.
oooooooooo
Now that she was alone, Kyono was plopped down on the cream-colored couch channel surfing. There wasn't anything good so she decided to watch a random channel. Lucky Star was just starting...so she settled into a more comfortable position and stared at the bright screen.
oooooooooo
It was 12:35 and she was watching the ending of a different anime episode-Kaleido Star-while silently humming the opening version of Lucky Star. God, she couldn't take it out of her head.
Kyono was ready to change the channel when a familiar song was heard from her turquoise mobile phone.
It was her ringtone.
She turned off the T.V., placed the remote on the coffee table and answered with a shy ''Hello?''
''Oi, Kyono! Are we still going out today because I'm starting to lose my patience.''answered a well known voice.
Kyono stared at the wall hanging clock with a bored look. 'Geez, it's not even one and he already thinks I ditched them?' She thought tourning her atention back to the small device in her hand.
''Geez, Daisuke. I didn't know you wanted to be around me so much.'' was her sly comment. 'This surely is going to piss him off.'
''Hell no! Why would I want to be anywhere near someone as ugly as you?'' was his fast reply. 'Told you so.' Kyono smiled to herself. Daisuke was almost always teasing her. Now it was time for revenge. Oh sweet, sweet revenge!
''Anyway, how about we meet at the park in front of that ice cream stand? You know, the little one near the entrance.'' Daisuke successfully changed the subject.
''Okay, but can we meet in like forty minutes? I have some stuff to take care of first. It isn't a problem, right?'' she uttered really fast, her gaze fixed on the floor.
''No, why would it be? We all have our own problems, right? You're more important than us so go solve your worries first...Besides, the latest we meet, less time I have to to spend with you!'' he tried to hide his concern with the last reply, but he wasn't fast enough and she caught him right away.
'You're more important' Kyono felt her face heating up at his words. She had bitten her bottom lip and managed to say ''Well then, make it 1:30 and don't you dare ditch me!''
She was so embarrassed by this that she had closed her eyes to fight the blush that was spearing across her cheeks.
''Don't worry, I won't. See you!'' he replied equally embarrassed. Kyono succeeded to say a proper goodbye and then to hang up. She hugged the mobile device close and let herself fall back onto the sofa. 'What's wrong with me? I shouldn't react like that just because he cares. I mean we're supposed to be bestfriends and bestfriends care for each other, right?' She thought looking at the white ceiling like the answers would be there.
After that, Kyono proceeded to brush her teeth, put on her prepared outfit and then to make her hair. She brushed her long, chestnut colored hair with great care then tied it in two twin tails. She didn't use any makeup just some cherry flavored lip gloss.
It was 1:16 and she was ready to leave when she heard the doorbell ring.
'Who could it be?' Kyono wondered heading for the door. Little did she know that behind the door was the last person she would think of. And it was demonstrated by the gasp she let out of her mouth.
''...Rika...''
(A/N: Should I leave you here with this nice cliffhanger...hmmm...maybe...Nah, I'm not that evil XD Plus I hate cliffhangers myself and you waited enough time for this chapter!
And I never properly introduced Rika to you so...
About Mashiro Rika: 15 years old; little past shoulder long, jet black hair (usually in two pigtails); large, azure eyes; she is shorter than Kyono; does not like to be seen as a weak person, independent, cold, but sometimes she can be sweet too, hard working; AND she teases Kyono sometimes about her love life.
Well, that's it. On with the story!)
And right in front of her was standing Rika Mashiro in all her glory, giving Kyono a cold glare.
Kyono managed to gulp the lump in her throat and than to ask her with a confused voice ''Rika...What are you doing here?''
In fact it was the first time she came here, and without invitation too.
''I need to talk to you...So, are going to let me inside or what?'' Rika replied still sending daggers at her. Seeing this, the younger girl moved out of her way, letting Rika to enter the large house. After closing the front door, Kyono turned to better study her friend. Rika wasn't glaring anymore. She was staring intensely at the carpeted floor. After a minute of awkward silence Rika moved her gaze to the brown head.
''Why did you ditched the training? I thought you were a captain. It's good I was there to send the girls home because you just took their day off...AND didn't you said that we must beat the Huricane High? How are we going to beat them...ditching our program? Well, why are you so quiet? Answer me, Kyono!'' Rika yelled the last part.
'Wait...what training session?' Kyono was wondering when a sudden flashback came to her.
Flashback
''Whatever, I think it is enough for today. Right, Kyono?'' Rika asked-more like stated-coldly. She never liked to be seen as a weakling, a weak person.
''Yeah, we had enough, girls. Tomorrow, same time. Okay? ''Kyono replied.
End of flashback
Now she was looking like a fish out of water. How could she forget? And was calling herself a good captain. She was ashamed of herself now.
''I-I'm so s-sorry, Rika-chan! I-I totally forgot and...and there is this dat-I mean meeting I h-have and-'' ''No need to apologize.'' Kyono's stuttering has been stopped by Rika's state. 'What? A second ago she was angry and demanding and now she is saying she does not need a motive? What's with her today?' Kyono's thoughts were exactly as her expression. Extremely confused.
Sensing that, Rika sent her a tired smile with the meaning of 'I understand and it's alright', but then that real smile turned into a devious grin sending an uneasy feeling to Kyono.
''So...you said something about a meeting? Is it a date?'' she asked innocently, but there was that glint in her azure eyes that told Kyono she was anything but innocent right now. Seeing her wide eyed and flushed cheeks expression, Rika decided to continue with the teasing.
''Do I know him? Or is some sort of multiple date, like you're going out with five guys and at the end you only chose one? Hmm, Kyono?'' At her comment Kyono's cheeks were turning dark red.
''W-what? No, of course not! I'm not like that! I was just going to hang out with my best guy friends, that's all. I swear!'' she countered not looking the dark-haired in the eye.
''Hey! It's not good to swear you know.'' Rika scolded her with her hands on her hips like a mother would scold a little child. After that she smiled while asking ''Are they the twins? They seem pretty close to you.''
''Oh...well, yeah, you got me. It's them, but it's not a date. We're just hanging out, you know like real friends do.'' she said defeated. There was no way she could win this. Rika was in deep thought then her eyes shone with determination.
''If that so how about I go with you? It would be nice to meet your childhood friends, ne Kyono?'' This sent Kyono on her thoughts...she promised that it'd be only the three of them and Rika was supposed to be the cause of the twins' jealousy. How was she supposed to explain that?
''Umm...I told them it'd be only the three of us...'' Kyono started but then she saw the puppy dog eyes Rika was making and it was hard to turn her down something caught her eyes...she wasn't wearing the football uniform. Nothing sport.
She was wearing a nice baby blue, knee-length dress with thin straps, over it a mini, 3/4 sleeve, black, leather jacket and some black medium heels. To complete her outfit Rika placed a bracelet with silver charms on right her wrist, a elegant, black purse on her shoulder and some dark blue, heart shaped earrings. As always her jet black hair was held in two neat pigtails with some baby blue ribbons. Her entire outfit was showing how gorgeous can a girl look even if she plays football almost all day long.
'Rika-chan is truly astonishing!' ''But what about the training? What are-'' ''Are you deaf or something? Didn't I just told you that I took care of it? Geez, sometimes I don't know what to do with you.'' Again Kyono was interrupted by her.
''Okay then. You can come, but remember, it's not some sort of double date...and please don't make any wicked comment, please?'' It was Rika's turn to confront the puppy dog eyes and it was not easy either because Kyono was really good at it too.
''It's called teasing, captain.'' she laughed at her. Kyono laughed too then she grabbed her phone and her pink purse.
It was 1:24 pm and they were out the tall, front door.
oooooooooo
They made it to the park in exactly five minutes and the two girls settled on a beautifully lacquered bench near the fancy ice cream stand. Kyono was looking around, but stopped when she felt a delicate hand on her shoulder. Turning around she caught Rika's assuring smile and tried to calm down. What if they planed some kind of joke on her, after all, Daisuke was the one who called her damn it! God knew what was in her mind for not catching on this earlier.
She was so lost in her own worries that she didn't hear the two sets of footsteps that were nearing them. Not until one of the owners has cleared his throat. That's when Kyono looked up from the ground only to meet the blank face of Ryou and the intense stare of his older twin. They sensed Rika's presence and then the inevitable happened. Ryou's once calm features turned into a worried look and Daisuke eyes turned from staring at the dark-haired girl to forming a dark glare towards his childhood friend, a very demanding glare.
Kyono felt her teammate's grip of her shoulder tighten as Rika sent the same death glare towards the blue haired twin. She gulped.
This wasn't as planned...and...it wasn't going to end up well. Not at all...
Well...look I couldn't end this chapter in another way. I hate cliffhangers too, but it had to be like that.
This chapter was getting long anyway (the longest chapter I ever wrote) so I'll put the rest of them meeting in the next chapter and we'll see how this complicated situation turns out.
I couldn't update sooner because I had author block and I was grounded (only an hour on the computer on day) and I didn't got any free time because of school, but now that it's spring break (at least for me) I will try to upload the next chapter real soon :D
I'll try as well to write this love story from Kyono's point of view (like she's the main character and the others move 'round her). I think I have figured out who will end up with who, but even I can change my mind or I can do two alternative endings! What do you say?
Sorry for any mistakes, I tried to make this as good as I could (English is not my first language, but I love it XD).
Now see that little button down here. The one with 'REVIEW' on it. Press it and tell me what do you think about my fanfic.
Much love and cookies,
Neko-chan aka BlackCatNeko999
