Chapter 2

"Ow..." Kukai muttered, barely touching the bump on his head.

"That's what you get for laughing in class when we were learning about guillotines. Baka," I said with a blank expression on my face even though I wanted to laugh out loud.

"Hey, it's not my fault!!" Kukai exclaimed, shocking me just a little bit.

"Then tell me whose fault was it? Hm?" I smiled wickedly and noticed that he was glaring at me.

"You…work for Easter, don't you?! So they're sending people here, huh?! Well, bring it!" Kukai yelled glaring at me even more now.

I fell on the floor, laughing as if there was no tomorrow—this is too funny! I love acting like the bad guy!

"What the?! Why are you laughing?!" Kukai demanded the answer out of me.

I wiped a tear from my eye, "You are so gullible! Actually I hate Easter, because they tried to use me for their stupid, idiotic search for the embryo!"

Kukai just looked at me with his mouth wide open, standing like a statue.

My eyes drifted from Kukai's face to Kisa, my would-be self, who was singing for Dai-chi.

I smiled—I wish I wasn't scared to sing for others…but for a good reason unlike Utau-Oneechan.

Kisa looked at me with her sweet purple eyes and then smiled widely.

"Tsuki-chan! I remember!! You should sing for your friends! It'll help you with your stage fright!" Kisa smiled widely looking at Kukai behind me, who came back to life.

"Tsuki-chan, you sing?" Kukai asked, looking at me with his bright green eyes overflowing with curiosity.

My face flushed and I looked away, "If you're all better then I'm leaving. So… bye."

I ran out of the room with the same empty feeling I felt when it happened.

So I dashed to the closest window I could find and jumped out—Chara change!

A genie tiara popped onto my head as I landed on the ground and started to run away.

Tears filled my eyes as the memories came back to me—all at once.

As I sat on a park bench, drying my tears and getting ready to go home, Kisa looked behind me with a disgusted look on her face.

"U-chan… is here," Kisa whispered.

I turned around and saw Utau-oneechan, walking towards a pink haired girl, angry.

"You, baka, stop flirting with IKUTO!!"

"Huh? W-what? I'm not doing anything!!" the pink girl defended herself her face turning red.

"What? That hurts… what about our little date to the amusement park?" Ikuto said with a hurt look on his face, but playfulness in his eyes.

I dashed in front of my angry cousin and stared her in the eyes, "Utau-Oneechan…"

"Huh? Tsukiko, when did you—?" Utau stammered.

I raised me hand and slapped her on the face, "OMIGOSH! YOU ARE SO ANNOYING! IKUTO THIS, IKUTO THAT! JUST SHUT UP! HE'S YOUR BROTHER FOR GOODNESS SAKE!"

Ikuto snickered as the pink haired girl just looked at me.

"Ah, I'm sorry about my cousins… My name is Hoshina Tsukiko. Nice to meet you…I hope I didn't scare you," I tried to smile politely.

"My name is—" the girl was cut off by the presence of Kukai.

"TSUKI-CHAN!!" I flinched at his voice.
