Jewel: Wow! I got a lot of positive feedback!
Amu: Really? Do they realize-
Jewel: I have no clue what you're talking about.
Ikuto: I think she was trying to say-
Jewel: Nope. I'm pretty sure the two of you are being delusional.
Ikuto No we're not. We're trying to say-
Jewel: Let's play seven minutes in heaven!
Ikuto: I'm in. Let's go Amu.
Amu: Wait-WHAT?! JEWEL! (Closet door shuts)
Jewel: Finally. I don't own Shugo Chara or their characters!
~Sweet, Sweet Enemies~
"...What was the answer again?" Kukai whispered as he slowly stood up from his seat. He and Tadase were in math and the teacher had just called on Kukai to give the answer. Tadase chuckled and stared at the board while Kukai pretended to solve it.
"The formula is the Pythagorean Theorem, and c equals ten." He replied. Kukai shot him a quick grin and repeated the answer Tadase gave him, getting it correct. He sat down and raised an eyebrow at Tadase.
"You actually gave me the answer... Sounds like someone's in a good mood today. Is Jewel finally here?" Kukai asked and caught the slight pull on the corner of Tadase's lips. "Ah... So I'm right? But I didn't see her in any of my classes... which would be all of them." He teased. Tadase rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"She's meeting me at lunch. On the roof." He explained. Kukai tilted his head to the side and frowned.
"Don't you have to go through the whole building to get to the roof? Won't she get caught?" He asked. Tadase sweat-dropped and shook his head.
"For her, no. She hates using front doors." He explained. There was a light tapping on the window Tadase sat next to. They turned with confused looks but froze when they saw a girl with black hair and brown eyes wearing the school uniform, consisting of a teal tie, skirt/pants, white button up, cream colored knit vest, and whatever color shoes (which happened to also be teal), sitting on a branch of the tree that was a few feet away from the building. She waved to them and leaned against the trunk. She breathed on the glass and wrote:
SURPRISE
Kukai desperately held in a laugh while Tadase tried not to try and figure out how she climbed a tree up to the third floor. The class heard two loud slams and they all turned to Tadase and Kukai, who both had red lumps on their head while the teacher stood in front of them with a large book in her hand.
"Pay attention." She said darkly. The boys laid motionless with their heads on their desks as the teacher turned to see what they were looking at. "Is that Garnet?!" She shouted and pointed at Jewel. She threw open the window and a vein appeared.
"Oh, it's you." Jewel spat out and glared at her math teacher.
"Garnet! Get off that tree and come back to school!" The teacher shouted and threatened to throw her book at the teen. Jewel raised an eyebrow and scoffed.
"Hell no. And you can't do shit about it cause I'm one of your tops students." She retorted.
If the teacher wasn't fuming already, she was practically overflowing with steam. A few chuckles escaped from the class.
"Get. Down." The older woman demanded with a stern look. Jewel smirked and brought her face closer to the teacher's. The elder got slightly nervous, and it was evident in her expression, but held her ground.
"Make me." Jewel said and stood up on the branch. She smiled at Tadase and climbed the rest of the tree with ease, ignoring the shouts from the teacher who stayed inside the building.
"Looks like today will be a little more interesting... Too bad Amu isn't here." Tadase said aloud as they walked up to the roof. Class had just ended with a wanted poster for Jewel and a few threats.
"Yeah. But then again, when those two are at school at the same time, things get a little out of hand. It's like telling the devil himself to go up and make friends with God." Kukai joked. Tadase shivered and shook his head.
"Dude, no one needs to be reminded of what happened." He said coldly as they climbed up the stairs that led to the roof. Kukai chuckled and kicked open the door at the top, a warm breeze rushing into them. They both sighed as they walked out and looked around for the black haired girl. "...Jewel?" Tadase called out, knowing the girl liked to scare people. They stood in the middle of the roof and looked around.
"Boo." She said. They both whipped around and saw her standing in the doorway they came from.
"Aw... Weak." Tadase teased as he walked over to his girlfriend. (A/N: There is no way in hell am I putting any Tadamu moments in this, that's why I put him with me in most of my stories. Tadase was just being a good friend in the last chapter) She rolled her eyes and shrugged. She leaned to her side a bit so she could see Kukai.
"By the way, I saw Utau on the way up here." She informed him and stood up straight. Kukai's eyes widened as he grinned like a mad man.
"Really?!" He shouted and made a mad dash for the door but Jewel stopped him.
"But first I need to talk to you guys about something." She quickly added. Kukai frowned and retraced a few of his steps.
"...Make it quick." He said and waited for whatever was more important than seeing his girlfriend. Jewel glared at him, the atmoshpere suddenly serious.
"It's about Hinamori."
~Back at the Hinamori House~
"...Get out." I said as I heard the all too familiar footsteps of Ikuto approach my bed.
"You didn't answer me yesterday." He stated and sat on the edge of my bed.
Atleast he wasn't forcing me to this time.
I sighed and stared lazily at his blurred figure. I still hadn't gotten my contacts and I was about to get off my bed unitl a certain playboy decided to make an appearance.
"As if I'd tell." I answered. "I knew I should've locked that damn door." I muttered. Ikuto chuckled and hugged me. I was wrong. Well, I guess he wasn't forcing me to do anything but he was still being annoying.
"Answer the question Amu..." He whispered into my ear. I made a face of disgust and tried to put as much distance between us as possible, which was only a few inches since his tight grip on my waist prevented me from putting any more between us. "Amu." His voice suddenly dark and sober. I wasn't fazed though. I knew he was going to pop the question sooner or later.
...Just wasn't expecting him to pop it about five years later.
"You should know already. You were the one who killed her." I said plainly, staring up at his shocked expression with a dead look.
"...What..? I don't understand." He stated. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Of course you don't. Most populars forget about the friends they had before they became popular." I said. Ikuto practically froze where he was. I could feel him go rigid and stiff, his eyes were wide.
"...A-Amu... If I wanted to become popular, I needed to-"
"Leave your best friend? Even though her sister died and no one was around to help her?" I spat out. I was getting tired of this. He should know what he did. "...I just... I can't believe you left me... After all the years we were best friends, you left without warning." I said in a quiet, sad voice. I looked up at him with a hurt expression, I could tell he was feeling the guilt.
"Amu, please... I'd rather not talk about it with-"
"A nerd?" I asked, my voice filled once again with anger, but the question came out quietly.
"I was going to say someone who wouldn't understand." He finished with a cold look, making me inwardly shiver. "...Tch. This is pointless." He said and got up, ready to leave. "Oh yeah, don't think this little conversation will stop me from making you fall for me." He said with that damn smirk.
Of course he'd say that even though the atmosphere was filled with hatred.
"I fucking hate you Tsukiyomi." I stated. He just winked at me and chuckled.
"Love you too Amu." He teased and left, leaping off my balcony, ignoring the finger that I raised at him.
I really need to start closing that.
"Amu!" Mama called from the bottom of the stairs. I sighed and slowly got up, making my way downstairs. Once at the bottom, mama helped me the rest of the way. "Soon, I won't have to do this!" She joked and helped in the car. I smiled at her attempt to make me laugh.
"Aren't you nice?" I teased back.
~Back at School~
"...You're serious..?" Kukai asked in disbelief. Jewel sighed and nodded for the third time in the past five minutes.
"For the last damn time, Tsukiyomi's trying to make Hinamori fall for him." She said, pissed at Kukai for asking if she was kidding serveral times in a row. "Now shut up and let me finish." She ordered, stopping Kukai from asking again. "Since we all know about what happened between Tsukiyomi and Hinamori, I think we should stop him before she decides to kill him." She suggested, waiting for the boys' reactions.
"That seems like a good idea. So how do we do it?" Tadase asked. Jewel sighed and shrugged lazily.
"I'm not sure... But we have to make Tsukiyomi lose interest in her. That's practiacally what he does with all the girls he dates. Once he loses interest in the girl, he just leaves her." She explained. Kukai frowned and growled in frustration.
"Well that's going to be hard since Amu's getting contacts again." He pointed out. Jewel's eyes widened.
"Oh shit. She is?!" She screeched. Both boys flinched and sweat-dropped.
"You're worse than Utau... But yeah." He replied. She groaned and buried her face in her hands, Tadase sweat-dropped and placed a hand on her back.
"This plan just got a million times harder..." She muttered, not really exagerating. The boys hummed in response and nodded. "How the hell are we supposed to pull this off?!" She shouted, scaring some birds out of the nearby trees. Tadase sweat-dropped and held her hand.
"I'm sure you'll figure out a way in the next few moments." He said, instantly calming her down. Suddenly, an evil smirk sprouted from her pouting lips and a devious look flashed through her dark eyes. "And there it is." Tadase said tiredly. Kukai chuckled and patted his back.
"Ha. So what is it Jewel?" He asked.
"Huh? Oh. No time. Right now, I need to bust into Hinamori's house. Who's coming?" She asked and walked over to the way she came up. Both boys paused to think about he reply.
"As much as I'd love to see her reaction, I really wanna see Utau... Bye!" And with that, Kukai sprinted off in search of his girlfriend. Tadase sighed and shook his head.
"Looks like I'm going. Just don't-"
"See ya there." She shouted as she climbed down the tree.
~Back at Amu's~
"Thanks again mama." I said as I walked into out little house. I could finally see with my new contacts and could easily navigate my way through the house now. I arrived at my room and threw myself onto the sheets but heard a tapping on my balcony door.
"That better not be Tsukiyomi!" I groaned and sat up. I froze when I saw my friend Tadase with a sheepish smile. I gave him a wierd look and opened the door. "Um... Tadase? How'd you get up here? You suck at climbing!" I exclaimed as I let him in. I was about to shut it until I felt something stop it. I turned and glared at the girl standing on my balcony with a similar glare.
"I had to haul his ass up the tree." She answered for her boyfriend. Tadase sweat-dropped and laughed nervously at the two girls in front of him.
Jewel and I never got along. We were complete opposites. We never agreed on things, had different perspectives, and different tastes. And whenever we were together, something bad always happened, whether it was about us or some random person in the building. We even had cute nicknames.
Jewel was hell, and I was heaven. Two things that never come together, will never come together, can't come together, shouldn't come together. That's like telling Kukai to give up soccer and Ikuto to stop being a pervert.
Never. Going. To. Happen.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I spat out and gave her a look. She returned the look, only with a forced smile.
"...Remind me why I'm here again?!" She burst and her smile washed away, replaced by an annoyed look.
"Ah, there's the Garnet I know and hate." I growled on the last word. She scoffed and crossed her arms. "Now what the hell do you want?" I asked again and sat in the middle of my bed. Tadase just stood next to Jewel, who leaned against a nearby wall.
"Love you too." She teased with a small smirk. "Look, if you don't want our help with Tsukiyomi, you can kiss your own ass." She said. I glared at her with all my hatred and turned to Tadase.
"Explain." I demanded.
"...Well, we all heard you were getting contacts and-"
"Wait, you all knew and you had her come and tell me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. He laughed nervously and placed a hand over Jewel's mouth, preventing any comebacks.
"She was the only one willing to come." He stated.
"...Rima didn't wanna come?" I asked with an incredulous look. Tadase paused before he laughed nervously. "...You didn't ask her, did you?" I asked in a monotone. He sighed and nodded in shame.
"Just let Jewel talk so you two can get it over with." He muttered. Amu huffed and managed to look at Jewel without glaring.
"Speak." I spat out. She smirked and bowed in a mocking way.
"Oh, thank you for giving me permission to talk to you, milady." She teased and stood up straight with a bored look. "If you don't wanna go to school with contacts again, just wear hipster glasses. Here." She said and tossed me a pair of glasses with fake lenses. "The lenses won't affect your contacts or anything." She stated and dragged Tadase off to my balcony.
...Wait, did she just... HELP ME?! I think the world just came to a crash.
"...Mama?!" I shouted and stared down at the chunky black glasses. I hated to say it, but it looks like I'll be wearing someone elses glasses. "I guess we don't have to home school me!" I finished and put on the fake glasses.
I hate myself so much. I'm sorry Ami.
...Huh... She was wearing the school uniform. Did she go to school today? Well, thank god I didn't go. Last time there was a fire... Don't look at me, I didn't grab the match.
~Sweet, Sweet Enemies~
Jewel: Thank you again for the support and sorry for updating late. A lot of things happened.
Ikuto: As long as it's done.
Amu: But you might wanna run. (Points behind Jewel)
Fans: THERE SHE IS! GET HER!
Jewel: Shit... R&R if you want me to live!
