Chapter Four: Cheers, and sneezes

Disclaimer: I'm still here, not owning Shugo Chara!

~~Amu's POV~~

Number one reason cheerleading isn't my style, the freakin' uniforms!

"I don't see why we have to wear the uniforms, if we're only trying out!" I whispered to Rima. She rolled her eyes. "Don't be embarrassed, it looks great on you!" She said. I looked at myself. The uniform was a pink top that came down to right below my chest, a short pink skirt, pink leg warmer-like things, and a pink sun visor with a big red heart on it. "It's so pink though." Rima rolled her eyes again. Ran came out to the front of the line to call attendance.

"Yuiki Yaya-san."

"Here!"

"Hoshina Utau."

"Here."

"Mashiro Rima."

"Here."

"Lulu Yamamoto."

"Here."

"Hinamori Amu."

"Here."

"Good! Everyone is here! Let's get started right away!"

~~~TIME JUMP~~~

The results of the tryouts were posted up on a bulletin board.

Cheerleaders: Hoshina Utau, Lulu Yamamoto, Yuiki Yaya.

Co-captain: Mashiro Rima.

Captain: Hinamori Amu.

"WHAT! I'm cheer captain?!" I yelled. "Your tryout was the best!" Ran said happily. "The soccer team is practicing for their game in a couple of hours and we're also using that time as cheer practice. I hope you all are committed, because we're practicing starting now ending after the soccer teams practice!"

~~~Another time jump~~~

~~No POV~~

Kukai lead the soccer team onto the field, to see this years cheerleaders, mid-routine. He'd always loved seeing the cheerleaders in their uniforms. He was too far away to make out faces, but he could tell which one was the leader, she stood in the front, jumping up and cheering, showing the other girls what to do.

Amu had been pulled aside by Ran and told this: "I can tell being excited isn't your style, but when you're here, you will be the cheerleading captain. You will lead them and do your job, and if you don't, it will severely affect your grade." That got Amu all fired up to do this. She was already on the fourth routine when she saw the soccer team coming. "Okay girls, we'll start from the top once they start playing! Ran-sama says I'm supposed to talk to the soccer captain, so I'll be right back!" She said.

Kukai saw the captain running towards him and turned to his team. "Okay guys, take five! We'll start after I'm done." He turned back around to see Hinamori Amu. "Amu-chan?" He said. "You're the cheer captain?!" She laughed, embarrassed. "I kinda got roped into it." He looked her up and down. "Looks good!" He said, giving her the thumbs up. Her face slightly flushed. "Thanks!" She said hyperly. "You're a lot more… happy than you usually act." He said. "I have to be!" She said. "Otherwise I'll fail!" She said going on one foot and throwing her hands in the air. Kukai started to laugh, and couldn't stop for several minutes. "Okay!" She said. "This act is really tiring me out, so I'm just gonna say what she told me to say." She whispered. "Do your best, 'cause we'll be cheering for you!" She said, now talking loud enough for Ran to hear. She winked and ran back to the cheerleaders. Kukai realized he was blushing and quickly re-focused on soccer. The players got into position and the cheering began when they started to play. Several times, Kukai caught himself staring at Amu.

Amu began to notice Kukai would stare at her for periods of time. She grinned, if she was going to be embarrassed, she should be able to have some fun with him. She turned around to face her squad. "Alright girls, the soccer captain might be getting distracted, let's cheer him on!" She said, turning back around. "Ready, and…. "

"Ku-kai! Ku-kai! Ku-kai!"

Kukai turned his head towards the sound of his name being chanted. The last thing Kukai saw was Amu winking at him, and then, a soccer ball hit him in the face.

~~Amu's POV~~

I was still trying to contain my laughter as we left. "Hinamori Amu." I turned to see Sanjo Kairi. "Chairman?" His brow lowered. "...chairman?" He asked. "You kinda seem like the chairman type…." He sneezed. "What did you want?" He sneezed again. "Yes, um-" He sneezed again. "Chairman?" Another sneeze. "Stop sneezing." I said. Another sneeze. "Are you alright?" He grabbed my hand and dragged me inside. His eyes were watering. "Are you okay?" I asked again. He pushed his glasses onto his nose and nodded. "Sorry, allergies." He took a step towards me and tripped. Crash! I opened my eyes to see Kairi's face inches from mine. He gasped and scrambled off of me. "S-S-SORRY!" He took off down the hallway, face red. 'I wonder what he wanted to tell me?'

Yes, I did incorporate Ran's Character transformation into this chapter. I might do the other ones if I can find places to put them.

Next chapter is going to be Ikuto's turn! review please! Thanks for reading!
