(^^ Kuaki's POV ^^)
"Guess what!" I exclaimed, running into the green house after school.
"What's going on, Kukai?" asked Yaya.
"I found another person with a Guardian Character!" I answered, grinning from ear to ear and giving a peace sign.
"Who is it?" asked Tadase.
"A newby at our school called Ream Kiyomizu."
"Didn't you get called to the office today to show her around?" asked Amu.
"Yeah, but I didn't expect another potential member to our cause to come walking in. Isn't this great?"
"What would she be though? Amu is already the Joker," said Nadeshiko.
"Hm..." I replied, going into deep thought.
(^^ Ream's POV ^^)
"I'm home!" I called out when we entered Uncle Nikaidou's house.
He chuckled. "I haven't heard you say that in a long time."
I grinned.
Every time I entered my house or Uncle Nikaidou's house, I would always shout it. I guess you could call it a tradition.
"You'd think she would have grown out of it by now," said Hayato.
"Hey!" I exclaimed, pouting.
Hayato smirked, dropping his school bag by the door and taking off his shoes. I copied him.
"So what would you guys like to do?" asked Uncle Nikaidou once we got to the living room.
"Can I call Mom to ask her something?" I asked.
"What do you want to ask her?" he questioned.
"I want to work at Easter. It sounds like it'd be fun," I answered, smiling.
He knelled down and ruffled my hair. "How about I ask my boss first before you ask your Mom? He might not let a twelve year old girl work there."
I frowned. "Okay..."
He smiled as a way of encouragement before standing up straight again and sitting down in a living room chair. Hayato and I sat down too.
"Seems like an interesting place. What would he think if a fourteen year old boy worked there?" asked Hayato.
"I'd have to ask," said Uncle Nikaidou.
"Mkay," replied my brother.
"So like I said earlier, what would you two like to so while we wait for your Mom to get home?"
"Watch a movie!" I blurted out.
"How about that Death Note one?" suggested Hayato.
"Yeah, yeah!" I cheered.
"You two like anime and manga?"
"Yes," Hayato and I replied in unison.
"Alright, I think I might have it somewhere," said Uncle Nikaidou as he got up and started searching his entertainment centre.
"You have it?" I asked, surprised.
"Possibly. I like some anime and manga myself you know. I watched and read it as a kid," he explained. "Ah, here it is."
He fiddled around with the machines before turning on the TV.
"Thanks, Uncle Nikaidou," said Hayato.
"Oh no problem," he replied.
As the movie started to begin, I couldn't exactly focus. It was my idea, but my thoughts were bothering me.
"Hey, Koori," I said, "why do you think Uncle Nikaidou could see you? Aren't you not supposed to be able to be seen or heard by other people who don't have a Guardian Character?"
She shrugged. "I don't know how he can see me. He might have a Guardian Character still, but that seems unlikely. It's not often a Guardian Character stays with a child after they reach adult hood."
"Then why did you think he saw you?" I persisted.
"Because he looked directly at me, Ream. He didn't look past me somehow or seem to look through me. He saw me and made eye contact."
"So the requirement for the job at Easter really is a Guardian Character... I wonder why," I thought allowed.
"We'll have to find out. Now focus on the movie, Ream."
"Okay."
