Chapter 2: Hime's Royal Wish of Rebirth

"Joker-san, I really want you as my 1st real friend." Mizue said. Smiling. Amu was shocked but then she smiled and nodded.

"Then, please call me Amu." She said.

"But, Joker-san is cuter. Can I call you Joker-san instead?" She asked.

"Eh? Su-Sure." Amu hesitantly replied. After lunch they both went back to their classroom. The afternoon classes started as soon as the bell rung. Mizue went back to her seat beside Amu and happily listened to the lecture while taking notes. After class, Mizue was about to leave when Amu caught to her. "Mizue!" She called. And with that Mizue turned around.

"What is it?" Mizue calmly asked while Amu catches her breath.

"Would you want to go home together?" She offered.

"Sorry, Minami-san and Shou is gonna pick me up." Mizue declined. "Ah! Do you want to come with us?" Amu tilted her head in confusion. "We're going to the studio. For Shou's recording." She explained.

"Mizue!" Shou yelled. Mizue turned around and stared at the blue car by the gate. Mizue then grabbed her hand and pulled her.

"Come!" Mizue pulled Amu towards her two companions. "Minami-san, Shou, I like you to meet my new friend." Mizue introduced. "This Hinamori Amu." She said introducing Amu to Minami and Shou. Minami bent a bit and inspect her.

"Eh? The Ms. I-hate-crowds Mizue made a new friend in her 1st day." Minami commented. "As expected from your outer character." Minami teased smiling. Mizue pouted and smiled. "So, are you coming to the studio?" She asked.

"Do you want?" Mizue asked. Amu then nodded in agreement. "I'm glad!" Mizue and the rest rode the car. Mizue was talking with Amu in the back seat while Shou and Minami are in front. Mizue was asking about the different things about Japan to Amu. Japan has really changed. She said as Amu explains things to her. Then they reached the studio. Minami parked the car and they went to Shou's recording studio. "Wow, so this is where Shou sings. I want to sing, too." Mizue said.

"Then, why don't you?" Shou asked and Mizue turned to her with a smile. Sigh. Just because you don't like crowds, huh. Shou said. Sigh. "Do what you want." Shou then started recording for his debut album title: 'Prisoner'. Mizue and Amu happily watched. After the recording, they sent Amu to her house at around seven o'clock. After that they drove home. After dinner, Mizue took a bath and change to her pajamas. She the opened the sliding screen door and went to her balcony.

"My 1st day is really fun. But, I can never be who I am. The fake me. I hate it." Mizue said to her self, staring at the stars. She then clasped her hand and closed her eyes. Kami-sama, please let me change. I want to be who I am. I want to start a new in this country. Please. After praying, she went in and closed the screen door.

The next day, Mizue woke up earlier than the alarm clock. She sat up and felt a bump on her bed. "What was that?" She asked. Removing the cover, she saw two colorful eggs. One was an all pink color and some green vines with a ruby on the end of the vine. Another was an all blue color and some green vines as well though; it's a sapphire at the tip. Mizue sweat dropped. What is this? She was about to scream when she quickly covered her mouth. I can't do that. But. What are these eggs? Upon recovering she picked the pink egg up and felt the warmth of it. "It's warm. Like a new born." Mizue smiled. "I want to keep them, maybe if they hatch; I get to have cute birds." She said smiling.

Mizue then got ready for school. She wore her uniform and clipped her bluish green hair into two ponytails using an emerald-colored. She check on her emerald eyes and smiled. Perfect. She was then sent by Minami. Shou already left to excuse himself for a week. School has only started but since Shou wants to become a star, he'll be very busy. Upon arriving, Mizue was the center of attention. She just calmly pass them, smiling and greeting anyone who greets her with her outer character. Just then before entering the school building, she saw Amu. "Joker-san!" She called.

Amu turned to her as she walks towards her and her companion. Mizue tilted her head at the beautiful lady in front of her. She ties her long hair in a pony tail and wears a cape for the 'Guardians'. "Are you busy, Joker-san?" She asked.

"No, not really." Amu answered. "Ah! I want you to meet Nadeshiko." Amu introduced.

"Hello, you must be Kotonami-san. I'm Fujisaki Nadeshiko, Queen's Chair." She bowed a bit and smiled. How elegant. Mizue thought while smiling.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Kotonami Mizue, Queen-san." She replied. "Then, I have to leave, Bye." She bid goodbye. Mizue can't take crowds, after all. Mizue went back to her seat and set her bag. She put the eggs inside that bag. Later, the bell rang signaling the start of homeroom. She sat down and then later Amu entered the room. She didn't notice and the teacher came in.

Class started and Mizue was concentrating with the lecture. Amu was constantly checking on her. Then, lunch came by so quickly. Amu confronted Mizue. "What is it, Joker-san?" She asked. Mizue then put out an envelope. "For me?" Amu coolly nodded and Mizue took it.

"An invitation for the royal garden." Amu said. Mizue just stared at it.

"Then, wait for me, there okay?" Mizue smiled. She just stood up and walked away but then stopping by the door and turning to Amu. "I'll be at the library if you need me, Joker-san." She smiled and head towards the library. A few moments later, Class ended. Due to the invitation, Mizue told Minami to wait for a while. She head towards the royal garden. It was a big dome and very pretty to. She entered it and saw the guardians sitting there, having tea. And there a familiar face stroke her. "Souma-san." She said.

"Yo!" He greeted. "It's been a while, Ms. Hi-I'm-Kotonami-Mizue-san." He continued making her pout. Just how many nicknames will I receive? Mizue thought. She then entered the place walking towards them and stopping halfway.

"King's Chair, I'm Hotori Tadase. Just come. It's okay." Tadase comforted. "It's also okay to be yourself." He ended.

"Be myself? Then." Mizue ran towards the seat like a child she always is. "What's for our snack?" She childishly asked. "But, I hate crowds that's why you can minimize the people here if you all go out except for Joker-san and Souma-san." She rudely but cutely said.

"What a character." Kukai sweat dropped.

Mizue smirked. "That's why I don't want to show who I am, because everyone will hate me. Only my family understands me at all." She ended her façade smiling lovingly. "No one other than them." She said.

[Don't say that!]

Who was that? Mizue thought hearing an unfamiliar voice.

[From an obedient girl to an honest one. KYARA CHANGE!]

Then a 'pop' sound and her emerald-colored ribbon turned into a ruby. "No one will understand me! Not even you!" Mizue blurted out. What was that? Mizue said confused.

"Kyara change?" Nadeshiko mumbled. "You Kyara change." She finalized.

"Geez… What are you doing, Mizue-chan!" A small person floated. She wears the same ponytail style like Mizue though she has a red ribbon. She also wears a cute light pink ankle boots on par with her shorts. The top of her dress is a pink bubbly blouse and a red ribbon on her neck. She has a bubblegum pink-colored hair like Amu's and Crimson eyes. She was full of pink and red. "I'm Mayu (真優). Mizue-chan's Shugo Chara." She smiled.

"Shugo what?" Mizue asked.

"Shugo Chara. In other words, Guardian Characters." Nadeshiko started.

"How about we do a formal introduction first?" Tadase interrupted. "King's Chair, Hotori Tadase." He repeated. "And my chara: Kiseki." He said pointing at a king-like one.

"Queen's Chair, Fujisaki Nadeshiko." She continued. "This is Temari." She was wearing a cute Kimono as she smiles at Mizue.

"Jack's Chair, Souma Kukai." He introduced. "Daichi." He seems a little sporty and he was playing with a soccer ball.

"Ace's Chair, Yuiki Yaya." Yaya smiled. "And this is my Chara Pepe." Babyish.

"Joker's Chair, Hinamori Amu." Amu ended. "My chara: Ran, Miki and Suu." Ran was a red tint, Miki is Blue and Suu is Green.

"Exactly what is a Shugo Chara?" Mizue asked totally confused about what was happening.

"They are our would-be selves. All kids hold an egg in their hearts. These are called Heart's Eggs. They carry our dream on who we want to be." Tadase explained. Then, it hit Mizue. Those were all the things Shou and Satoki have always been telling her.

"Shugo Chara. Well, I understand now." She smiled and closed her eyes. Then, after a few moments of thinking, she stared at them smiling. "That means, I get to be who I am, right?" Mizue said and took her 2nd egg out off the bag and slowly caressing it. All of them just watched her. "But, I really thought I get to have pretty birds." She joked. "Well, at least, I get to have a new friend." She said.

"You're not shocked?" Yaya asked.

"No. Actually, Shou and Onii-san has always been telling me about these things though it was quite unclear." Mizue smiled. "Then, I have to go. Let's go, Mayu." Mizue put the egg back at her back and left. This sounds interesting. Mizue thought.

"Will she be okay?" Nadeshiko asked.

"Well, her outer character is matured, after all." Tadase commented. "Probably." He continued. There was something in their minds. The guardians are worrying about Mizue.

Meanwhile, Mizue was on her way to Minami. "Are you okay, Mizue-chan?" Mayu worriedly asked. Mizue nodded.

"Neh, Mayu means 'true gentleness and superiority, right?" Mizue turned to her. Mayu nodded. "Then, does that mean I want to be gentle but superior?" She asked. Mizue the smiled as Mayu nodded. "That's more like it." Mizue reached Minami and rode home. She was dropped by Minami to a small park as Mizue requested.

Mizue went down the car and turned to Minami. "Are you sure here is okay?" Minami worriedly asked. She nodded and Minami drove away. She walks towards the park and then she heard a violin.

Violin? She then started walking towards the source of the sound. Mayu floated beside her. "Where are you going Mizue-chan?" The chara asked.

"I don't know. But, I have to follow this sound." Mizue answered. Mayu then tried to listen but she couldn't hear anything. Just then Mizue found it. There she saw a young man around his 17 playing the violin. He has mysterious Midnight Blue eyes on par with his Dark Blue hair. He was wearing an all black slim dress. "How beautiful." She said. It was really beautiful with the sunset like that.

He then stopped playing and stared at Mizue. They were having eye contact. Those eyes… She said to her self. Their full of sadness. Who is this man?

Kumi: And that's the end.

Ikuto: Finally making an appearance, huh.

Mizue: That was our 1st encounter… boring.

Ikuto: Yeah. On that part, I agree.

Kumi: Then, Sorry for being boring! Bleh! So then, I hope you like it. Please give me reviews. I don't really need good reviews. I just want reviews. Then arigato, see you next time.
