Hi zup and hallo!

Chappy three here!

Plz Read and review!

Enjoy!Aiko's POV


Tomorrow is the day. I'll leave this town, my family, everything. It sounds sad but I'm doing this for the sake of them. If I can help a little then I'll do it.

"Aiko, look there's a pet shop over there!" I heard Mizu call to me as he pointed towards the store.

"I would like to see the dogs," Lithia called.

"Me too! Me too!"

"Okay, let's go," I said giving up to them.

We walked inside, "Hello?"

"Good afternoon," said the caretaker. I knew the man, Temaru Anjou. He had an assistant, a boy of my age his name was Keotsu Kosuke. I knew since I was little, when I used to come to this store and help after school. I called him Keats.

"Oh my, if it isn't little Aiko who's little no more. How have you been child?"

"Hello Temaru-san how's the shop coming along?"

"Very smoothly, Kosuke has improved in his working skills since you've last seen him. Follow me his here."

He signaled me to the back part were they kept the injured animals that were found. I immediately noticed Keats.

"Yo Keats, how ya doing?"

"Hey, if it isn't little Ai."

He came towards me as we greeted in our special way. I've always considered Keats as a friend and he considered me as a guy friend. He was the one who thought me everything I knew about skating and basketball.

"How working coming?"

"Very nice, we found this little lad a few days ago. He got his leg fractured somehow," he showed me to a cage where a black cat was.

"And I suspect you don't dare touch, right?" I asked.

I saw Keats sweat dropped, "Well, you know my problem with black cats."

I laughed; Keats has always been very superstitious.

I opened the caged, "How about I care for him a little for you."

"You don't have to," Temaru-san called.

"Like if Keats would do this kind of job by himself."

"Well, if you really want to."

I picked the cat from the cage and gently started to feed him. I knew how since I used to help here. Weird, when I was little and after my father left, we went to live with Tadase's family. They were friends of my father so that's why. I remember Tadase's mom calling Ikuto a black cat and that he would bring misfortune to all of us and so would his violin playing.

I never really understood her. How would a boy as nice and caring as Ikuto and his beautiful violin playing do any harm to anybody.

A black cat…

No wonder Yoru is Ikuto's Shugo Chara. Ikuto has always wanted to be free, like a stray cat. I always considered cats the most beautiful pets along with dogs. Cats were so cute and understanding as if they could hear your every word and sorrow. It was nice to take care of someone. Well it was more meaningful for me since everyone always took care of me.

"If I could be free like you little one," I murmured, "I would be able to do anything."

A couple of hours later the shop was to close. Keats told me he would walk me home. I accepted. He already knew that I would leave tomorrow since we were in the same school I had to tell him.

"What a bummer, you'll leave tomorrow."

"I know."

"But you'll have a new school and everything, what's so bad about that," Mizu said appearing in front of me along with Lithia.

"You're right too," I said without thinking, when I realized.

"Mizu!" I hissed as a grabbed both of them without Keats noticing.

"Did ya say somethin'?"

"No nothing at all," I said hiding them both in my back.

"Aiko let go its-all-right!" Mizu called as he got away from my grip.

He began floating in front of Keats and started doing all these weird faces and Keats just wouldn't notice.

"Normal human can't see Shugo Chara," Lithia said.

"So anyways, hope you have a good day tomorrow," he said to me as we had to go separate ways. I started walking passed the park now close to my house. I had already packed my things and was ready to leave tomorrow morning.

"Lately we've encounter with many X Eggs," Lithia said wanting to break the silence.

"Yeah and its all Easter's fault," Mizu called.

"And we help..." I said not wanting to say why.

"It's not really your fault Aiko"

"Yeah those Easter jerks are making you and your family do this."

"My father's legacy, I suppose."

I saw as their gazes were brought down due to my comment.

Mizu came up to me, "You idiot! Nor you or Ikuto or Utau have any fault in this."

"He's right Aiko."

"Of course," I held my hand and ruffled their heads.

"Useless."

I turned to find this mess of X eggs in my back.

"So many!" Mizu called.

Suddenly the eggs came rushing towards us. We evaded them in different ways.

"Mizu! Lithia!"

"I can't move," Mizu called as he got caught in a cage made of X Eggs.

"Aiko stay alert!" Lithia called.

I turned noticing a bunch of X Eggs coming towards me. I fortunately escaped but was thrown down from other eggs.

"Their coming to fast!"

"Stand up!" Lithia told me.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

"Come on let's show this punks some girl power!"

I had heard that voice from my bag. And suddenly felt something pop up on my head. Then suddenly my body moved and jumped towards a nearby tree branch. I landed on my feet and felt something moved to my side. I looked and saw this tail.

Wait…A tail?!

"What the heck I have cat ears and tail!"

"And don't they look pretty!"

I saw as from my bag came out the third egg glowing. It began to crack. And out came this little cat girl.

"Yahoo! How ya'll doing?? It said giving me a thumbs up.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Yuko, and I'm your third Shugo Chara-nya."

Wait, did she just say nya!

I looked at her. She had this sleeveless shirt with a light green color. She wore a collar with a cat bell of gold color. She had long, light green color hair. She had shorts of a darker green. She had green paws and green cat ears and tail. Lastly on her left ear she had this light black ribbon.

"You gave me this ridiculous ears and tail!"

"Exactly! Also you better move or you'll get caught too," she said as she moved out of the way.

I watched as she left and looked straight forward noticing all the eggs coming towards me. I jumped down from the tree and landed perfectly on my feet.

I sighed, "Why did you leave back there!"

"Hey, at least I warned ya-nya."

This was bad the eggs were getting more violent. I had to do something.

"Yuko!"

"Huh?"

"Let's try it."

She looked at me, "That's what I'm talking about!"

My own heart

Unlock!

Chara Nari:

Jewel Lynx!

I had done it again. I transformed with Yuko this time. The cat ears and tail appeared and this time I had a black ribbon on my left ear. I wore a sleeveless, green shirt with a corset on of a black color. A wore black shorts with a dark green belt with a cross buckle. On my corset top right before my neck a silver cross. I wore this boots that were black; they fitted perfectly on my feet and started to open up as they got to my ankle. In my hands I had two laced sleeves. My hair was normal as it always was.

"Sweet!"

"So now what?"

"Let's get some X Eggs!"

"Right!"

"Emerald Claw!" I felt this sword in my hands and noticed that the eggs got startled of it.

"Get them!"

"Yeah!"

Emerald Claw

Ready!

The sword began to shine weirdly

From Light

Shining Slash!

I motioned the sword and a strange energy head towards the eggs as they started to light up like the others. As they did they changed into normal heart eggs. As saw the eggs leave to their owners. I landed on my feet as the transformation disappeared. Mizu and Lithia came over.

"So you're the third. I'm Mizu."

"Lithia nice to meet you."

"Yuko and thanks."

This is my would-be self. A carefree cat, I do share something with Ikuto. Now all that was left was to do what I can in that tournament. Tomorrow it all began.

A black cat…

A lost butterfly…

A weak child…

Some things just never change, right?


Next time she arrives at her new school and meets new people

See ya'll next time-nya!
