Okay! Before I started the story I will say some things! The reason Nadeshiko is a tomboy is because the clones that the school makes are always opposites of the person who they are a clone of. So, she's more of an anti-Nagihiko then a Nadeshiko. Remember in Maximum Ride where they said that they would know if the were talking to a clone if Nudge actually shut up for once and Angel behaved like a kid. There was more but I forget… I guess I could make Nadeshiko a little more lady like sometimes, though. Anyway, on to the story!
Where an X-egg was
Nadeshiko smiled with a sense of victory. It had been pretty easy to fool the Guardians. All she had to do was make sure no one saw her when she was Character Transformed with Rhythm. She managed to do that by only going into charanari at a crucial moment and then transforming back. It was pretty easy. The only thing was that Rima kept on getting more and more suspicious. But she could always deal with that later.
"That was fast," Rima noted. Her eyes narrowed at Nadeshiko.
"What do you mean, Rima-Chan?" Nadeshiko asked sweetly.
"You went into charanari then came out before anyone could see you," Rima pointed out. "Like you were hiding something."
"I suppose I did," Nadeshiko agreed. She didn't ask why Rima brought it up.
Rima just gave Nadeshiko another glare but didn't say anything. Then she saw a girl with scales covering her body and wings the same color. The girl looked at the Guardians with serpent eyes. She told them that she wasn't going to hurt them, that she just wanted to be free and find someone who would help her friend.
"Who are you?" Amu asked. The girl gave a pained look.
"He-bi….," She tried to say. It looked like it pained her. "Save…. Na-g-,"
"Did you lose your friend?" Nadeshiko asked with fake sympathy. A look of hatred flashed through the girl's—Hebi—eyes. Then she attacked her, screaming in a way no one could understand. Nadeshiko tried to run away because Nagihiko wouldn't attack a girl.
"Help me!" She cried, trying to fight off Hebi without hurting her. The, to Hebi, Nadeshiko whispered, "You wouldn't want the school to find you, would you?" That only stopped Hebi for a moment. Then she got off Nadeshiko and widened her eyes making them look possessed. Nadeshiko felt strange then started sniffling.
"Why is everyone so mean toooo meeee?" She wailed. Everyone sweat dropped.
"Fujisaki-kun are you alright?" Tadese asked. Everyone—except Rima who couldn't care less—was worried about her.
"Nooo!" Nadeshiko cried. "You all hate mee!"
"Nagihiko, we don't hate you!" Amu protested. Nadeshiko sniffed.
"Really?" She said. "You don't?"
"Of course! You're my friend!" Amu reassured her.
"I hate you," Rima said. Nadeshiko burst into tears again.
"Rima!" Everyone looked at Rima angrily.
"He's under mind control," Rima explained calmly. "That's why he's so teary,"
"Ooooh," Everyone said like it suddenly made sense even though it didn't.
Hebi frowned. She was surprised that they had figured out her talent so quickly. Nadeshiko stopped crying and blinked innocently.
"Did something happen?" She asked. Everyone sighed.
"You could say that," Rima said. Nadeshiko frowned. She had no memory of the last couple minutes.
"What do you mean Rima-Chan?" She asked.
"Rima-tan said that you got put under the weird girl's mind control!" Yaya explained.
"Kil-er…," Hebi managed. "The…ft," Nadeshiko knew that Hebi was talking about her.
"Obviously she's crazy or something," Nadeshiko said. "She can't even talk!"
"Can too," Hebi frowned then looked behind her. "Help me?"
"With what?" Amu asked.
"Need saving," Hebi said pointing at herself. "From them," She pointed at people who were running towards them. They sifted into a wolf-like form.
"W-what are they?" Amu asked.
"Who cares?" Rima said, and then attacked. "Juggling Party!
"Erasers," Hebi moaned. One of them got fell down from being clonked on the head with Rima's pin. Hebi smiled at that.
"Erasers?" Yaya asked. "Like, the things at the end of a pencil?"
"Different," Hebi explained. "Deadlier. Eraser humans. Bad expirements,"
"You were an experiment?" Tadese asked. Rima and Hebi gave him a well, duh look.
"Um… Shouldn't we worry about the enemies?" Nadeshiko suggested.
"Right!" Amu said. "Heart rod!" She threw her rod at the erasers, making over half of them trip and fall.
"Tightrope Dancer!" Rima roped up the ones who had fallen and then the rest.
"Thank…you," Hebi said then flew over to the erasers. "They… didn't come here only for me," she said, confused. "They wanted to replace a clone….,"
Nadeshiko's eyes widened. She had just gotten a shorter life sentence. "Do you know why?" She asked, trying to make herself sound worried for whoever it was.
"Don't think that she would be able to be him…. Think that their will be too many…. Difficulties." Hebi explained. She didn't understand it much, from the sound of it.
"But what would they do to the old clone?" Amu asked. Hebi looked at her with a serious look on her face.
"Kill," Hebi said in a cold tone. "They destroy all who are useless,"
"It's… sad," Nadeshiko whispered. "The only thing you can do is prove your worth,"
"It would have dead anyway," Hebi pointed out. "Would have better luck saving original version of them then living normally," Nadeshiko smiled sadly.
"I suppose you would know," She said. Nadeshiko knew she knew best.
"Someone knows better," Hebi whispered. She went back over to the Guardians.
"You need a place to stay, right?" Rima asked. Hebi nodded reluctantly.
"Where were you planning on staying?" Nadeshiko asked.
"In a tree. Abandon building. Cave." Hebi shrugged. She wasn't too sure herself.
"Then you should stay at one of our houses!" Amu exclaimed. "Um… I don't think my parents will like it if I bring another person home…,"
"Same here," Rima agreed. "My parents would kill me,"
"No room in my house," Yaya said.
"Um…. I can't really have anyone over..," Tadese said. Nadeshiko sighed.
"I'm sorry, but I can't think of an excuse," She muttered.
"So I guess she'll have to stay with you!" Amu smiled cheerfully.
"I guess it couldn't hurt," Nadeshiko said.
"Great," Amu said happily. Nadeshiko looked at Hebi.
"Come on," She said. "I'll take you to my house,"
"Okay," Hebi said. She really didn't mind the arrangement.
At the Fujisaki's
"I guess you could sleep in this room," Nadeshiko said, pointing to a girly room.
"I know," Hebi whispered. "The real Nagihiko."
"That was who you wanted to help, huh?" Nadeshiko said. "The clone thing… That was about me, wasn't it?"
"Can't tell," Hebi said. "Secret."
"If I have even a slimmer of a chance then I'll do my job the best I can," Nadeshiko informed her. Hebi smiled. She already knew that and thought that no human should be without hope. Then she went into the room.
"Someone knows," Rhythm said.
"Doesn't count. She was told," Nadeshiko muttered. "You really want to see me die, don't you?"
"No," Rhythm said, as serious as her could be. "I want Nagihiko to live,"
"Whatever," Nadeshiko sighed and flopped down on her bed. Then she started sniffling. "It's not fair!" She wailed. "Why can't I be me? I'm not Nagihiko, but..," She sniffled and it occurred to Rhythm that she was behaving how she was earlier and a little how people thought of Nadeshiko.
"I just want to be me…," Nadeshiko whimpered. "Why is that so hard?"
Then Nadeshiko was called down for dance practice and she immediately put on a happy face and said she was coming. When she got up and left the room, Hebi came in a little after. Her and Rhythm were the only ones who knew about the egg that was lying on her bed. Hebi just smiled to herself. Nagihiko wasn't going to die in the SCHOOL, she reassured Rhythm, Nadeshiko was going to save him soon. Rhythm decided not to argue, because a little hope is always better then none.
O-kay! Done! I ended it weirdly… Oh, yeah. If I made a typo or grammar mistake while Hebi was speaking, it was on purpose. She's not suppose to be able to speak well. Oh, the Shugo Chara Dokki Doki episode was funny! Hotaru is the complete opposite of Rikka! Anyways, review!
