A Court Without It's King
Nana's Pov
Yuki started to act really strange. I mean it was kinda cool how she character changed then stormed out of the Royal Garden but she won't talk about it. We ran to catch up to her but she wasn't talking about it.
(Flash back to after Yuki ran out)
Mitsuki: Wait up dammit!
Nana: Yuki! We just wanna talk, you know you can talk to your friends.
Akane: Haru hurry up we are being left behind.
Haru: Huff huff pant okay pant
(The girls chase Yuki until they get to stairs that lead downhill. Yuki turns around to look at her friends that were chasing her. She then jumped on the railing and slid down it and waited to see if they would still chase her. The rest of the girls followed with Haru lagging behind. Haru tries to catch up by running down the stairs, but she trips. Yuki notices and jumps to catch Haru before she hits the ground. After setting Haru down Yuki goes to jump away but she is stopped by her friends.)
Nana: Yuki stop avoiding us! We are your friends you can talk to us about anything. I mean you told us you laid some eggs, I think we can handle it.
Haru: Of course we can! It would be another reason to spend time hanging out together.
Mitsuki: We could also get out of class.
Akane: Why don't you want to be a guardian? The headmaster said your parents were thrilled that you would be a guardian.
Yuki: Tch!
( Yuki then jumped from the group again and jumped from roof top to roof top until she got home.)
(Normal time before school)
?: Nana you are going to make Mitsuki angry if we keep her waiting, Karin can't keep her calm for long.
That is my chara Ritsu. She is a mini doctor how cool is that? She has medium length brown hair with two green bows in it. Her bows match the color of her eyes. She has a pair of glasses she is constantly pushing up and she wears a plain white lab coat. She is a more responsible me so she tries to keep me on track by telling me what to do, but I can't take her seriously. SHE IS JUST SO CUTE.
Nana: It's ok Ritsu. They love us so they won't mind waiting.
Ritsu: They might not mind but it is impolite.
Nana: I guess you are right. I will hurry up.
( Nana and Ritsu quickly leave the house to meet with Mitsuki and her chara.)
Mitsuki's pov
Mitsuki: Can't Nana change any faster than this? I can't wait to give her a piece of my mind! She never changes. She has been this way forever, she will never change!
?: Calm down Mitsuki. I am sure she will try to be earlier if you tell her it bugs you.
Mitsuki: Oh I am gonna do more then tell her. I am going to scream it until she understands it.
?: Mitsuki you could hurt her feelings. Ritsu will probably help her be on time more often too.
Mitsuki: Karin there is nothing you can do to stop me from yelling at her.
Another morning waiting for Nana. The only difference is I now get to argue with my chara about it. Karin is an angel so of course she has to try and calm me down, but I think I am just scaring her. She looks so fragile like a glass doll. She is tan and dressed in a white frilly dress. She has angel wings on her back and a gold halo floating above her hair. She has short light blue hair with white highlights and white eyes.
Mitsuki: It's ok Karin, I won't yell at her, happy?
Karin: Yes! I am sure if you just calmly explain the problem Nana will try her best to be early.
Mitsuki: Yea and pigs will fly.
Nana: Mitsuki! Karin! Good Morning! Sorry I'm late but I couldn't stop starring at Ritsu she is so cute isn't she? Oh don't get me wrong Karin your cute too. You both look adorable!
Ritsu: I apologize that we are late ( pushes up glasses) I shall try to get her ready earlier tomorrow.
Karin: See Mitsuki she is sorry and Ritsu won't let it happen again.
Mitsuki: Yea ok. Let's just get to school, we need to see the headmaster for our capes and to prepare for the assembly announcing we are guardians.
(Nana starts running to school with Mitsuki, Ritsu, and Karin on her tail.)
Nana: WE ARE GONNA GET CAPES AND I CAN MAKE A WHOOSH NOISE! YAY! WHOOSH!
Ritsu: Nana! Calm down. It isn't smart to do this much exercise without stretching first.
Akane's pov
Akane: Hana I don't have time for this, I need to get to school.
Hana: Akaaaaaaaneeee. Come on, we can make this uniform look so cute if you character change with me we could do everything in no time!
Ugh Hana is out of control. She is my designer chara. She has long purple hair topped with a black beret. She has big bright amber eyes and an elaboratly decorated red dress. The dress has a full skirt that has ruffles and lace on it and red ballet flats on her feet. She probably designed the outfit herself. I understand she was born because I am thinking about becoming a designer but she won't quit it. She is constantly trying to get me to make this look better or make that more me. It is starting to get annoying, how can I concentrate with that going on constantly? I also have two more eggs I wonder how I am going to keep my sanity.
Akane: Hana we don't have time to change the uniform now. I promise if I have time after my homework we can change the uniform and cape however we want.
Hana: Oh a cape. That changes everything!
( Hana takes out a sketch book and starts to draw all of the different ways she can fix the uniform.)
Akane: We need to go. You can sketch when I am in class, so pay attention to flying.
Hana: I can do both. I just have so many ideas I can't stop now or I might forget something.
Akane: As long as you keep up we need to meet up with Haru and Kari.
Hana: Oh Haru is so cute I wonder if she would let us design some outfits for her, or Nana. I think designing for Mitsuki might be fun too. Maybe we can even get Yuki to wear more colors.
Akane: I don't think we will be able to do that now let's go.
Haru's Pov
?: Hurry up Haru! You are gonna be late.
Haru: I am hurrying Kari. You are just too fast for me.
Kari doesn't seem to understand that I am extremely clumsy. Kari is a n athletic type girl. She has long curly brown hair tied in a high ponytail. and green eyes. She wears a short white tank top that shows off her stomach and short black shorts. She has on black boots and black fingerless gloves. I have only known her for less than a day and she is already pushing be to get over my clumsy nature. I appreciate her help but it doesn't seem to be working.
Kari: Haru, Akane and Hana are just up ahead.
Haru: Ok go tell them I am coming.
( Kari flies over to Akane tells her to wait then hurries back to Haru. She starts to cheer Haru on until she reaches Akane.)
Akane: Good morning Haru.
Haru: Good morning Akane. Good morning Hana.
Akane: Are you ready for the assembly? We need to go straight to the headmasters office but everyone else needs to go to first period, then the assembly is supposed to take most of the rest of the day.
Haru: That's good we won't have class. I wonder if Yuki would change her mind after hearing that.
Akane: We won't know. She didn't tell us why she didn't want to be a guardian, and we can't convince her until she talks to us.
Haru: You don't think she will hate us for becoming guardians do you?
Akane: Probably not. She did make sure you didn't get hurt when you fell yesterday. We just won't be able to hang out as much.
Haru: Yeah I guess, but won't she get lonely? I mean she really didn't talk much to us and now we will be devoting tons of time to the school.
Akane: Yuki is Yuki. If she wants to talk to people and make other friends she will, but I think she is ok with keeping to herself. Plus half of the kids in the school are scared of her or think she is a guy.
Haru: I can't believe people still think she is a boy.
( Each pair of girls made it to school and met in the Headmasters office.)
Headmaster's Pov
Headmaster: I am glad you all made it here on time. I have excused you from your first class so you do not need to worry about your attendance. I have asked you all here to discuss what the schedule will be. I am going to call the assembly second period and we will start off by talking about old business. I will address common issues about grades and attendance, then talk about the athletic clubs and other high school things . I will then have the younger guardians talk about their improvements on the campuses and future projects. Then I will introduce each of you as you walk on stage and you corresponding ranked guardian will present you with your capes. After that you and the younger guardians will answer questions if there are any. There will be a break before the younger guardians come so that is when the other students and yourselves can get lunch and after the questions the high school will be dismissed for the day.
Haru: What about Yuki? You told us Yuki was supposed to be the king so who is Tadase supposed to present a cape to?
Headmaster: I will leave the king's chair open in hope that you girls will convince Yuki to join. Until she does Haru, as Queen's chair you will need to act as leader. I am sure Nadeshiko and Tadase will help you.
Mitsuki: Why don't you just promote everyone or replace Yuki?
Nana: Mitsuki! Yuki is our friend how can you suggest we replace her?
Headmaster: I understand both of your perspectives girls. Mitsuki I have chosen your ranks very carefully and after much consideration. I will not replace Yuki unless I see someone with the same qualities Yuki has.
Mitsuki: What kind of qualities does she have that are so hard to find?
Headmaster: For one Yuki is an excellent leader. She has met you all and will utilize your abilities to the fullest while battling an x-egg. She has the ability to make plans and to do so extremely fast and she is flexible to alter those plans when needed, which are amazing traits when battling. She also cares more about others then herself so she will not let any of you or the student's heart eggs get hurt. She can be kind when it is needed but she knows when she needs to take charge. Those qualities may not be rare individually however, it is rare to see an individual that posses all of them. Those individuals are true leaders and end up making a large impact on the world.
( There is a long silence and each of the girls sat there thinking about Yuki and the times she demonstrated those characteristics. They each came to the conclusion that they respect her, no matter if they would admit it out loud or not.)
Headmaster: Just like Yuki has the qualities to be king's chair I explained to you all yesterday why you each received the titles you were given. A king is only as strong as their supporters. I am confident that when the time is right Yuki will join the guardians. Until then you need to start the job without her. Are you up for this challenge?
Girls: Yes!
(Time skip during lunch)
Mitsuki's pov
Haru: I haven't seen Yuki.
Akane: How are we supposed to convince her to join if she doesn't come?
Nana: What if Yuki is fighting bad guys?
Mitsuki: Get real Nana! She just cut because she didn't want to deal with us or the guardian thing. We don't need her!
Akane: Mitsuki you are the jack's chair. You are supposed to support the king not bad mouth her.
Mitsuki: What kind of king abandons her court or friends?
Nana: We don't know what is going on with her, she could have had a bad experience with this kind of thing.
Mitsuki: Well you heard the headmaster. She is supposed to depend on us we can't help if she runs away!
Karin: Mitsuki calm down you need to trust Yuki.
Ritsu: You should calm down it isn't good for your health to get this worked up.
(The girls and their charas continue to fight about Yuki. The argument gets louder and louder. Haru and Kari are the only ones not speaking. Haru closes her eyes as they begin to tear. Seeing this Kari character changes with Haru. Fingertip less gloves appear on Haru's hands and she stands up.)
Haru: STOP! Everyone just stop! We don't know what is wrong and until then we are not going to judge Yuki. She can't cut class forever and she will talk to us eventually. Until then we will not insult her. She is our friend and she will either chose to join us as guardians or not. Either way it is her choice we can't influence that but we can try to convince her to join us.
( No one spoke for a long time. The fingertip less gloves vanished and that left Haru standing looking as shocked as anyone else.)
Haru: I am sorry for that but we can't let one thing break up our friendship with Yuki.
Kari: Good job Haru!
Akane: Haru is right. If a king is only as strong as their supporters then it is no wonder why Yuki won't talk to us. We haven't been supportive and if Yuki was here she probably would never join the guardians, or ever be our friend again.
(The girls all agreed and finished lunch relatively quietly. Meanwhile up in a tree not too far away.)
Luna's pov
Luna: Yuki shouldn't you go say something to them nya?
Yuki:
Luna: You can't just watch over them forever nya. You are going to need to help nya. You heard the headmaster he won't chose another king nya.
?: While she might be the king nothing said she had to be the figurehead. Yuki will help out when she needs to but she doesn't need to be called a king in order for her to help.
This girl nya. Yuki's other chara came out nya, well one of them nya. Miyoshi is a ninja nya. She has short spiky black hair with bangs that cover her blue eyes nya. She wears a completely black outfit that is made of a mask, mid drift tee shirt with a shuriken design on it, and shorts nya. She has on gloves and ninja shoes and carries two swords on her back nya. Her right arm and left leg are covered in white bandages nya. She hatched when Yuki started to spy on her friends nya. She went home then felt guilty so she went back to the garden to make sure everything went smoothly nya. Miyoshi and I have used our talents to keep Yuki from being seen by her friends but I want Yuki to just make up with them nya. Yuki can handle herself but now Miyoshi is here Yuki lets me go explore nya.
Luna: Later nya! I am gonna do some stuff nya.
Miyoshi: Don't let the guardians see you.
Luna: Yeah yeah I understand nya.
(Time skip after the assembly outside the school )
Nana's pov
Nana: These capes are so cool.
Hana: I don't know I can probably make them look better.
Nana: Oh can you?
Hana: Of course I can! Akane come character change so we can make these boring capes look thirty times better.
Akane: Not right now we need to think of a school improvement project.
Karin: We could plant flowers.
Mitsuki: That was the younger guardians idea, we would never hear the end of it if we used that idea.
Haru: How about we paint a mural? We could have kids come up with designs and then we can organize a group to paint it.
Kari: That's gonna have to wait I sense an x-egg.
Mitsuki: Ok everyone let's do this! Character transform.
All: My heart unlock
Akane + Hana: Spiral Ribbons!
Nana + Ritsu: Sexy Surgeon!
Haru + Kari: Cutie Brawler!
Mitsuki + Karin: Heavenly Archer!
We all look so cool! We all look like we are bigger versions of our charas. I have on an open lab coat, a light lavender button up shirt, a knee length black skirt, long white socks, black heels and wire glasses. Akane has on a black beret a poofy red dress that has ruffles and layers on the skirt. The top is like a red tank top with long white bell sleeves and red flats. Haru has her hair in a high ponytail, black shorts, a white tank top, black boots and her black finguretip less gloves. Mitsuki is in a frilly white dress.
Mitsuki: Look there it is! It is heading towards the roof.
(The girls go to the roof and corner the egg. They open the door and the jump over something and tried to corner the egg.)
Akane: Ribbon wrap!
Mitsuki: Heavenly light shot!
Haru: Neko knuckles!
Nana: Drowsy dosage!
( Each girl attacks at the same moment. Haru's fingertip less gloves are replaced with boxing gloves that look like kittens and as she goes to hit the x-egg a blue liquid drenches her. That liquid came from Nana's giant syringe. Haru then slowed down because she became drowsy allowing the x-egg to dodge. Mitsuki made a bow and arrow appear and when she shot it the arrow became tangles in Akane's ribbon attack. The girls began to argue about how to attack then the x-egg began to attack. As if was gathering up energy the girls were about to dodge when a shuriken is thrown and imbeds itself into the wall just to the left of the x-egg. The girls look to see where the shuriken came from, but they see Amu jump up to the roof as Amulet Heart instead.
Did Amu throw that shuriken?
Amu: Heart rod! Negative heart lock on! Open heart!
(First a baton is sent flying towards the x-egg, who was about to attack the girls again. The baton circles the egg and then flies back to Amu, who then purifies the x-egg.
That was so cool! Amu is amazing! Mitsuki would not like that Amu came to help us but that was amazing.
Amu: Are you guys ok?
Haru: Yea I think so (yawn).
Akane: Amu do you throw shuriken?
Amu: No. Why?
Mitsuki: Then who could have done it?
Nana: It had to be Yuki! I told you guys she was gonna fight the bad guys and look out for us.
Amu: Whatever you say. You guys should learn to work together before the next x-egg appears. Later.
Mitsuki: That brat! Who does she think she is talking to us like that?
I knew Mitsuki wouldn't be happy.
Nana: Mitsuki she helped us.
Mitsuki: We didn't need help! We could have done that.
Akane: Maybe it was for the best that Amu came. No one is perfect when they try something for the first time.
Haru: Akane is right guys. We just need to practice and we can get better.
Nana: Maybe this is why we need Yuki.
Akane: The principle did say something like that.
Mitsuki: Well We need to learn to do this and we can't wait on Yuki. I won't let us be up staged by the mini guardians again.
( The girls return to normal and head for the door that leads off the roof. They see movement and everyone freezes.)
Akane's Pov
?: Am I still dreaming? That must be it.
Nana: Whatever you think you saw it was just a dream.
Mitsuki: Nana that only works on TV.
Haru: Excuse me just what did you see?
?: Well I saw you try to fight that black egg then that cheerleader came and beat it. Then you separated from those little flying people and turned back to normal.
Akane: Would you excuse us for a minute?
Mitsuki: And don't even think about leaving.
(The girls walk a few steps away then huddle.)
Nana: What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?
Mitsuki: Calm down!
Akane: The headmaster said that only people who have had heart eggs, will have them, or are open to believing them.
Mitsuki: What kind of high school kid would believe in heart eggs?
Nana: Well we saw the mini guardians charas.
Haru: Does that mean she is gonna have a chara?
Akane: I think we should tell the headmaster and watch her.
Haru: I agree. If she gets a chara she can help us fight x-eggs.
Nana: She doesn't look like a leader type though.
Mitsuki: We are waiting for Yuki you know that, and you were the one to yell at me for trying to replace her so I don't wanna hear you talk like that.
( The girls break their huddle and walk back to the very confused student.
Akane: Perhaps we should start with introductions.
?: I know who you are. You guys are the high school guardians.
Haru: And who might you be?
?: K
Nana: Oh we get to guess?
Mitsuki: Is that short for something?
K: No my name is K. That's not a nickname it is not short for anything it is just K.
Akane: Well K we would appreciate if you could forget about this.
K: It isn't like anyone would believe me anyway.
Haru: We will see you around K. Good bye.
K: Bye.
Mitsuki: What else can go wrong? We can't convince Yuki to be a guardian, we can't beat an x-egg, we need Amu to come and finish our battle for us, and we get seen by some random girl.
Nana: It's only our first day.
Mitsuki: That's what I am afraid of. If the first day was this bad what else can go wrong?
Akane: We will get better.
Haru: I will try to be a better leader until Yuki comes back.
Akane: Let's come back early so we can discuss guardian stuff and maybe practice fighting as a team.
Mitsuki: We should also make a plan to watch that K girl.
Haru: Yes we should and if the headmaster is here early we should see him and discuss K as soon as possible.
Nana: We are gonna have so much fun as guardians. How can you guys be so pessimistic?
This is going to be harder than I thought.
Sorry for the ookami-san to shichinin no nakama tachi refference I don't own that either but it is a cool show you should watch it. Also I hate to nag people to rate and comment because when I see that I never review, but it would be appreciated.
