Neko-chan: Okay peoples. As promised, here is chapter 2.

I do not own Shugo Chara. Peach Pit does (even if they disappoint me with each episode).

Chapter 2

Guardian Battles + a Furry Friend

~Amu's POV~

A person bumped into me as I made my way through the halls. I grunted as I dropped a notebook.

"Oh my God- I'm so sorry! Don't hurt me!" I turned to see the same fanboy since.. well, forever, bowing to my feet. (AN: It's the sort lil' boy with brown hair and glasses that bumped into Amu in the very first episode and squeals like a fangirl when he sees her)

A sweatdrop ran down the back of my head. "It's okay. You don't need to worry about it this much..."

"No! I'm sorry!" He sprang up from the ground and was in my face in an instant with tears forming a waterfall on his face. "What can I ever do to make you forgive me?!"

"I really don't need anything..." I took a step back, feeling uncomfortable.

"No! I can do anything! I swear! Here's my lunch money! Take it!" He slapped a five-thousand yen bill (about 5 dollars) in my hand.

"Please, this is unnecessary I don't-," but he was already running away, leaving multiple eyes looking back after him and some glaring at me.

I slouched down, feeling utterly defeated.

"I know Ikuto encouraged me to stop my 'cool & spicy' act, but it feels like it's super-glued to me forever..." I sighed. When I looked up, only a few people remained, and all of them were rushing to gym.

"Oh crap! I'm going to be late!"

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Luckily, I had gotten to the assembly and put on the silly looking guardian cape just in time.

Yaya, Rima, Nagihiko, and I stood behind Tadase as he rambled on about new school rules and things that we intend to do to help everyone. My eyes stared at the blank wall, trying to keep my boredom from pulling them down to the crowd and getting stage fright. Then again, if I did end up doing that, Ran would probably save me with a character chage... I hope. Better not take any chances.

I tried to focus on Tadase's voice without laughing as it reminded me of the 'incident'. That would be enough of a challenge to keep my occupied.

".. and now I would like to announce some special news." Weird... I didn't remember this part. I must have not been paying attention.

"We, the guardians, intend to get a new school pet!"

The entire crowd began clapping loudly and talking to each other about how cool it would be, while me and the other guardians continued to stare at Tadagay in shock.

"What?" I couldn't help but squeak. An awkward silence immediatly followed right after. "We never disscussed this!" I yelled at him.

He grunted and folded his arms. "Well, why would we need to discuss something like this?" His hand waved out to the crowd. "They seemed to like it, so my assumption was right. Why wouldn't we get a pet?"

"Yaya wants a puppy!" she yelled.

"Actually, I'm allergic to dogs, so-" And then the entire crowd exploded into an uproar of suggestions. In the corner, a little group was chanting "Snake! Snake! Snake!", while other groups chanted their animal, as well as the few single people that just yelled some animal at the top of their lungs.

I glared at him. "This... is why. We should have discussed this; we should have organized a few ideas; we should have gotten everything planned out. Why on Earth didn't you even attempt to talk to us about this?" I asked, completely pissed.

The awkward silence returned.

"BECAUSE I ALREADY GOT THE DARNED THING! I FOUND IT IN AN ALLYWAY THIS MORNING!" he yelled. As if in response, a small meow came from behind the stage.

Tadase ran towards it and pulled out a small cat. It looked malnourished by the size. It was only about a foot long, but you could tell it was at least a year old. It was a small Ocicat with grayish fur and mini black speckles all over it. Skinny black rings were grown in the fur on it's tail.

The crowd exploded into many "KAWAII!!"'s and small chuckles. I slapped my hand to my forehead.

"Tadase... have you even checked that thing for rabies?"

"I don't need to! Kuraikage doesn't have any! I'm sure!" he held it close.

"You named it?!" I screeched. HE IS WORSE THAN A FOUR YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL! NEXT THING YOU KNOW, HE' S GOING TO BE WHINING, "Can we keep it? Can we can we can we huh huh?"

"Assembly over. Everyone go back to your class. The guardians will tell you the news once we have discussed this!" I yelled.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

"Can we keep it? Can we can we can we huh huh?" Did I just predict the future or what?

"Kitties are evil! They scratch you and bite you! I wanted a cute wittle puppy!" Yaya whined in a baby voice.

"I think it's cute," Nagehiko said as scratched it behind the ears while it sat in Tadase's arms.

Ugh... I already hate Tadase enough. Now he has to suddenly make me the mother of everyone....

"It looks weird," Rima said, poking it on the head. I sighed.

"Guys, we know nothing about this cat-"

"Kuraikage," Tadase corrected. A vein popped in my head as I raised my fist as a warning that I could beat the living shit out of him at any moment now.

"... about Kuraikage.... What if it has an owner? What kind of diseases could it have? Maybe it has some some deadly disease." Yaya gasped, no longer worried about being bitten.

"Then we should help it!" she yelped.

"It seemes kind of helpless..." Nagihiko added, giving me a look that said 'Sorry, Amu-chan, but I really like it!'

"If we let it go, it's just going to die!" Tadase cried, "Besides, you took care of that thieving cat when he was sick, so let me take care of-"

"OKAY!" I stopped him short. "FINE! We can keep it, okay?!" Nagihiko, Yaya, and Tadase both cheered happily while Rima just stood there with a bored face.

My eyes looked down at the little cat. "Mew!", it squeaked. Then, I just couldn't help it... I guess it was kind of cute...

I wish I would've know more about what I was getting into.
