Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA!
The next day since Izumi and I agreed to be guardians, it's time for a little ceremony introducing us, we are both wearing the royal capes and we are backstage with the other Guardians. Izumi is panicking and nervous about going out there in front of everybody.
"Izumi, it's only for a few minutes" Kukai said to his older twin.
"I can't, all of those people staring at me" Izumi said nervously.
"But Izumi-chan, I'll be up there with you" I pleaded.
"Kimiko-chan is right, Izumi-chan" Someone's voice came from behind us.
"It's a chara" The other charas gasped.
Izumi's egg floated in front of her, it was a black egg with yellow on the ends with a white moon in the center, and it cracked open to a chara that was monkey type chara with albino white ears and tail, long blonde hair wearing a white spaghetti tank top that showed her stomach and a white skirt with silver stitching and white boots.
"Ooo-ah nice to meet ya, Izumi-chan, I'm Sora" Sora said.
"Sora" Izumi said.
"Mow let's go out there and introduce ourselves! Ooo-ah!" Sora was very enthusiastic, "Character Change!"
Izumi had a white had a monkey tail.
"Let's go everyone!" Izumi jumped up and sown excitedly, all of us stared at her shocked.
"I-I guess we should go out there" I shuddered.
We all went up on stage and the teacher introduced the original Guardians: Tadase in the King's chair, Nadeshiko on the Queen's chair, Kukai in the Jack's chair, and Yaya in the Ace chair.
"Now the two new Guardians" The teacher announced, "Kimiko Hotori in the Star Chair and Izumi Soma in the Moon Chair"
The crowd cheered and some stared at Izumi because she still had the monkey ears and tail, I decided to distract them by doing my signature hair flips with my ponytail and then put one hand on my hip. Most of the crowd shouted "So cool and pretty!" the teacher finally calmed the students down when we went backstage, Izumi finally got out of character change and she went red as a tomato.
"Sora! That was so embarrassing!" Izumi yelled at her chara, it shocked me because that was the first time I heard her yell.
"You were scared" Sora said, "So I gave you courage"
"And a lot of energy" I muttered to myself, I heard Kukai chuckle, he must've heard me, I slightly blushed to myself.
"Well at least we got it over with" Kukai said and put his arm around me and squished me like his does all the time whenever I'm around, my face was hot but I kept looking down to keep from anyone noticing.
"Well school has already ended so let's all start walking home" Tadase said.
"Okay" We all said and I managed to get out of Kukai's arm. I took off my royal cape and put it in my backpack.
"C'mon, Makoto-chan" I said to my chara before leaving home with Tadase.
*Izumi's POV*
"So Kukai… I notice that you treat Kimiko differently than everyone else" I said while walking home with my younger twin, Kukai.
I noticed Kukai blush a little as he jumped me to try to get me distracted.
"C'mon onee-chan" Kukai said, "I treat her like everyone else" He released my head from a head lock.
"Okay, then why are you always nervous around her?" I asked.
"You're delusional, you've been reading too much" Kukai crossed his arms.
"Ay! Daichi! Ooo-oo" I heard Sora behind us, we turned around to see Daichi playfully pulling Sor'a ears.
"Aw, let me have some fun" Daichi said.
"Not with my ears!" Sora shouted
"Then I'll play with your tail" Daichi chased Sora to catch her tail.
"Please calm down you two" I said.
"Yo, Daichi" Kukai said, "Let's race to see who gets home first"
"You're on!" Daichi said and they zoomed off.
"Wait! You still didn't answer my question!" I shouted at him.
"C'mon Izumi-chan" Sora said, "Let's go after them"
"That's a great idea!" I said, "Character Change!"
Sora and I raced off swinging on other people's trees and running on top of walls until we got home.
*Meanwhile with Kukai in his POV*
"Yo, Kukai, why don't you just tell your sister the truth?" Daichi asked.
"Because it's embarrassing to tell my sister that I really like her best friend" I said and sighed.
"Then just confront Kimiko" Daichi insisted, "I could tell that she likes you"
"I just can't get the nerve to tell her" I sighed as I opened the gate to my house when I look up to my surprise that Izumi is standing at the front door in her character change and she looked steamed.
"You are not passing this door if you do not answer my question" Izumi warned.
I was annoyed something inside of my just snapped and I said something that I would regret forever.
"I don't like Kimiko alright!" I snapped, "I only acted that way because I could tell that she liked me"
"Ehhhh?" Daichi shouted.
I could see the hurt in my sister's face, "You shouldn't treat my best friend that way!"
"Izumi-chan is right!" Sora shouted at me.
"It's not my fault that she fell in love with me" I said coldly.
What is wrong with me? I thought.
"Fine, you don't have to worry about me telling Kimiko" Izumi got out of character change and turned to the door, "Come, Sora"
Izumi ran off leaving me standing there shocked at her and myself.
"What was that, Kukai!" Daichi shouted.
"I don't know" I answered, "I was just so annoyed that I just snapped.
"Well now you need to apologize to Izumi!" Daichi said.
"I know" I said as I went up to Izumi's room and was about to knock on her door until I heard her talking to Sora.
"Izumi-chan…" Sora said.
"I'll be fine, Sora" Izumi said, "Just make sure that Kukai doesn't come in here"
*Kimiko's POV* *Monday*
This weekend was fun with my chara Makoto, we did our first character change yesterday when we passed by the park and a little boy tripped and fell on the floor, Makoto changed me to my sincere side that made my hair ribbon from red to navy blue with sparkling white stars on it and I had a pearl necklace on. I bought the boy ice cream afterward because that is what he was running for. I'll always remember that day because it felt good to help him out, thanks to Makoto. I spent the whole school day smiling about that memory. When afterschool came along I walked with Tadase to the Royal Garden, when we got there Nadeshiko and Yaya stood between Kukai and Izumi uncomfortably even Temari and Pepe hovered between Daichi and Sora not knowing what to do. When Tadase and I got closer to the table I could feel the tension as well.
"What's going on, guys?" I asked.
"Nothing" Kukai and Izumi said angrily.
Whoa, what fell asleep in their beds and died? I thought.
"Well…" Tadase laughed nervously, "Let's get this meeting started"
Everyone sat around the table, Kukai and Izumi sat as far away as they could from each other, Tadase read out agenda but stopped a few times due to the huge tension in the room. When there was a patrolling assignment, Tadase read the names of Kukai and Izumi assigning them to the task.
"I happily decline" Izumi said and grabbed her book bag, "C'mon Sora, we're leaving" Sora followed her before she stuck her tongue out at Kukai and Daichi.
"I-Izumi" I called for her but she had already left, I turned back to everyone else, "Kukai-kun, what's up between you and Izumi?"
"None of your concern" Kukai snapped.
I flinched at his statement, he never acted like this before, "Well, whatever it is you don't need to take it out on us!" I snapped back grabbing my own book bag, "I'm going to find Izumi, I'll see you at home Tadase-nii"
I walked out before anyone could say anything. I found Izumi sitting on the bench under the stone gazebo. She looked sad while talking to Sora. I walked up to her but I character changed so I wouldn't say anything stupid.
"Are you okay, Izumi-chan?" I asked sincerely taking a seat next to her.
"No" Izumi started to cry.
"What happened between you and Kukai-kun?" I asked.
Izumi started crying on my chest as I rubbed her back in comfort.
"Kukai said that he didn't like you the way you like him, he just acted like it because he could tell that you like him, I'm so sorry, Kimiko-chan" Izumi cried harder.
What she said had hurt me but I didn't show it but Izumi cried for me, I was lucky that I had a friend like her. I wasn't sure how I was going to be around Kukai, I took Izumi home with me to spend the night even though we had school the next day. I had Tadase call Kukai to tell him, that night after Izumi went to sleep; I quietly let tears fall down my face as I fell asleep next to Izumi. I hoped that tomorrow would be a better day.
