Author's note – I'd like to remind people that Aurora is not my OC but my friend Elana's. If you are reading this I would like to know if this fanfic should be "one act per fanfic", "all the acts in one fanfic" or "three acts per fanfic." It would help greatly.

Aurora & Ikuto
ACT ONE: Enter the Muse
Chapter 1.4: Meeting the Queen's Chair

When Aurora arrived at the quiet spot she found a corner in a shady area to curl up and pull her knees to her chest. She hung her head low and took deep breaths in an attempt to calm down. Everything though seemed out of place and she wondered if it might not just be best to return to never leaving the house she lived in.

"I really want to be free to be myself though." The long obsidian locks fell over her shoulders and draped over her body allowing her to blend better into the darkness. She didn't expect anyone to find her there. "Maybe I should just stay here and never go home. I mean... it isn't as if anyone would miss me."

"Are you all right?" A cheerful voice came to her ears and Aurora suddenly glanced up. She found herself in a spherical place with a lot of holes in it. The person talking to her was the girl with the very long hair who wore the skirt colored cape over he shoulders.

"Shouldn't you be in class?" Aurora glanced up and then quickly brushed the tears away from her face. The last thing she needed was for her father to find out she had been crying.

"I'm the Queen's chair on the student council which is called the guardians. It is our job to look out for the other students. I saw what happened between you and Saaya. If you want I can tell the teachers that she was bullying you." The girl remained in the long hole tunnel with a smile on her face.

"The teacher will tell my father that I was late to class. He won't be happy." Aurora folded her arms around her knees tighter.

"Then how about I say you got lost and I helped you find your way to class." The purple haired girl remained persistent about the issue.

"He'll be mad that I got lost."

"That would be a problem." A finger went to the other girls mouth. "How about I say you found a younger student who was crying and you brought her to me because I am of the student council."

"You would in fact be lying." The girl let out a deep sigh. "It isn't going to work. He is very strict."

"Well..." There was a pause and suddenly the girl was climbing into the place with the other girl. "You need to be quiet."

"Why?" Aurora though found a hand slapped over her mouth.

"Tsukiyomi Ikuto is a cat on the hunt for Gaurdian Characters." the girl stated firmly.

Aurora wanted to ask what a Guardian Character was but the voice of a male teenager suddenly came to her ears from outside the place. "Little egg... where are you?"

The small female suddenly paled up. Her father had warned her many times about boy's and how they would come to rape you the first chance they got if you managed to let them get close to her. She wasn't sure what this egg he was talking about was but her mind drifted to thinking that what he wanted was to do what her father warned her about.

"I smell the egg coming from this way Ikuto, nyaa!" A small male voice came to her ears then. Either the boy had a severe split personality or he happened to have another person with him.

There came a scrapping sound as the boy moved in through the tunnel and then stuck his head in through to look at the two girls. "Well... if it isn't the Queen's Chair for the Guardians." The male turned his head back slightly. "Yoru. Are you sure that what you didn't smell was this brats Guardian Chara?"

"The egg hasn't hatched yet Ikuto." Suddenly to Aurora's surprise a small fairy like person came flying through the hole. "The egg of the Queen's Chair has already hatched."

The blue haired teenager let out a deep sigh and then reached with his hand towards the pocket of Aurora's uniform and fished out the nice warm egg. The boy twisted the egg in between his fingers. "What is with this Character Egg. It is pale in color." The boy's nose suddenly wrinkled up before turning his blue eyes to look at Aurora. "What is your hearts egg supposed to be about. The design can't even be made out."

"Give it back." The other girl suddenly spoke up while Aurora simply looked at Ikuto and his fairy called Yoru.

"Does she want it back?" The teen tilted his hand in one direction while frowning. "If she doesn't want it back then I'll just take it."

"I don't even know what that is. I just found it this morning." Aurora blinked a couple of times.

The Queen's Chair spoke up as her voice suddenly became dark. "How can she know if she wants it or not when she doesn't know what it is? She doesn't even know how important a heart's egg is to oneself. Temari. Please retrieve the heart's egg from the cat."

Another fairy link thing appeared from under the cloak the purple haired girl was wearing and rushed forward to push the egg out of the teens hand. The Queen's Chair grabbed Aurora's hand and pulled her past the boy grabbing the egg as it dropped. The headed out a hole and the girl stood up and placed the egg into Aurora's hand. "My name is Fujisaki Nadeshiko. Don't let anyone have this. Don't even let your father have this because it is a part of yourself and something that belongs only to you."

"Something that belongs to only me?" Aurora blinked a couple of times. "If I belong to my father then everything that belongs to me belongs to him. The way Nadeshiko-chan talks about this heart's egg is that it belongs to me and even though I belong to father it can't possibly belong to him. How can this possibly be? I mean... it breaks logic. But something that belongs to only me... that has been something I have always wanted."
