I'm srry bout the late update, but my friend has been here for a couple a days and I'm currently trying to write 2 story's at the same time, but either way, Enjoy ^^
Chapter 4: Something wrong?
Next morning my mom didn't wake me up for school, and when I came down there was no breakfast. This was kinda weird, I can't say my mom was always such a good mother, but at least she made breakfast very morning. I quickly made myself an egg and I ran off to school.
The eggs were in my bag again. I decided to take them to school, if mom found them… I don't know what she would do with them. In class I couldn't keep my head with the lesson. Instead I was writing some story again. I slightly looked at Fujisaki-san if he was trying to read as I started writing about some loony teacher, trying to teach the children math. 'What are you doing, Maya-san?' Nikaidou-sensei asked when he saw me scribbling in my notebook. 'I'm making notes, so I won't forget what you're telling.' I said on my saint-like tone. Nikaidou-sensei looked a little suspicious for a sec, but went back on his teaching. 'You'd better keep your head at class or you won't be able to make your homework.' Fujisaki-san whispered. I grinned evilly. 'I'll have you help me.' I whispered back and I went on writing. At the end of class my story was as good as finished. The buzzer buzzed, and so I packed my stuff. 'Crap, where did my notebook go.' I mumbled. I took a look around, and saw Fujisaki-san walk off with it. I quickly picked up my bag and ran after him. I caught up with him when he was already outside. I tried to get it back from him, but he kept it out of my reach. 'No way, I wanna read more, this is interesting.' He said. Then someone grabbed it out of his hand. 'No teasing the transfer student, Fujisaki-san.' A teasing voice said. I looked up. There was a boy in a tree. He had dark blue hair and blue eyes and he looked a few years older. 'Hey, where's Amu?' he wanted to know. Fujisaki-san shacked his head. 'Dunno.' He mumbled. The boy came out of the tree and gave me my notebook back . I quickly put it in my bag, trying to hide the eggs. I closed the bag and ran off.
I hurried back home, in the hope to find my mom there. First I went to the kitchen. After that the living room and even the toilet. After that the bathroom upstairs and her bedroom, but still no mom. I took the phone and dug up my mom's cell phone number. I quickly dialed it and waited for mom to pick up. 'Hello?' I heard my mom ask and I sighted in relief. 'Mom, it's me.' I said. 'Oh, Maya, I'm so sorry, I had to leave early this morning, I should have told you. But I'll be back tomorrow, so you'll have the house for yourself today. I left some money, so go buy some food and some ice or snacks or something.' I nodded, realizing she couldn't see it, so I answered her: 'Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow. ' I answered with a bit of a squeaky voice, but mom didn't hear it, she never heard it. I put down the phone and went looking for the money. I decided to do some grocery shopping and I went out again.
Just my luck, I got lost… I went to the mall to look for a super market, but it looks like there is no super market in the mall… I sighted and sat down on a bench. 'What should I do now.' I mumbled to myself. 'Hey little girl, are you in trouble?' some stupid, random guy stood behind me and wanted to put his hands on my shoulders. I avoided them, got off the bench and stepped back. From there some other boys came, locking me in. I saw only one way, between the first guy and his friend right from me, but I'd have to jump over the bench, and my chance of succeeding was a little too small to my liking. Either way I jumped through. I jumped on the seat of the bench, placed my foot on the back and I jumped over. I was lucky, landed on two feet and I ran for it… again -_-' One luck, I found a super market. I did my grocery shopping and bought some snacks, but I still had some money left. I left the super and went to the right, to see if there was something interesting. I found a tayaki stand and I bought some tayaki from the last money. After a little more loitering around I finally went home. I made myself some dinner and I placed my laptop downstairs. I remembered my homework, but I didn't feel like making it yet. I put on some music and I opened the volume to keep myself from listening to every little sound. I made dinner and slowly ate it, while watching the sun go down. I felt the shivers run down my spine and I ran through the house, turning on every lamp I could find. I hate the dark, at least when I'm alone. I closed the front- and back door and I went back upstairs with my laptop. I locked my door and I opened the chat box. Nobody to talk to, and on msn neither. I stared at my background for a sec, a picture of me, playing a violin. It was years ago, my mom had a nice man this time and he took me to the music school, where they had an open house. Everyone could try and play any instrument he or she liked. I immediately went off to the violins and he made a picture. At ones I saw something move in my bag. I opened it and a small girl in a sky blue dress came out. She wore small glasses without a frame and her hair was hazelnut brown and it hang loose around her shoulders. Her bangs were long and on one side they were put together with a hairpin in the shape of a note. 'Hello Maya, my name is Iris, I am your Shugo Chara.' She said with a friendly smile. 'So what Fujisaki-san said was actually true…' I mumbled under my breath. I decided to call him, to the point I realized I didn't had his phone number. I grabbed my jeans and a bluish shirt and I took the other egg. 'Let's go.' I mumbled to Iris. I turned all the lights off and we left the house. I looked up Fujisaki-san's address, so I knew where he lived, actually not too far from my own house. It was only a small walk towards the mansion, but to me it seemed like hours. When I finally saw the mansion I ran the last part and quickly pushed the doorbell. It seemed to resound through the large walls. The door was opened by an old woman in a lavender colored kimono. 'Ara, what do you seek here at this time of night?' she asked with a friendly voice. 'I came for Fujisaki Nagahiko.' I answered. I saw him coming from one of the paper sliding doors. 'It's okay, Baaya, she is a friend of mine.' He said and the woman nodded. 'Come in.' Fujisaki-san said. He lead me to a kitchen and he asked me to sit down on the table. He made something to drink and he sat in front of me. 'Now how can I help you?' he asked with his usual friendly smiling face and voice. Iris popped out. 'Well, I guess this should say enough, not?' I said as I pointed at her. 'I guess so…' he mumbled. 'Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Iris.' Iris said in English. 'Hello, I am Fujisaki Nagihiko.' For some reason Iris started blushing and she bowed her head. 'And this is Rhythm.' A Shugo Chara came from Fujisaki-san's back and he flew towards Iris. 'Yo.' He said and he hugged her. It was as if there was a small explosion. Iris went completely red, steam came from her ears and all her power was gone. 'O no! Iris, are you alright?' I took Iris from Rhythm . 'No worries, she just fainted, she should take it cool for a while.' He said with his small voice. He wore the same clothes as Fujisaki-san at the first day I met him, but instead of shorts and boots he wore wide jeans and sneakers. 'But in any case I got no idea what to do with her.' I said in a small voice. I hated asking Fujisaki-san about something I told him I didn't believe in. He chuckled lightly. 'Iris knows, and it's not that hard. Iris will tell you what she needs and nobody else can see them, not anyone without a chara.' I let out a sigh of relief. 'In that case I'll just head home again.' Fujisaki-san got up to. 'Anyway, thanks for your time.' I thanked him and he walked me to the gate. It had gotten even darker and I didn't like it at all. I think Fujisaki-san saw me looking around kinda nervous, because he offered to walk me home. 'You don't look really at ease, so…' he mumbled as he closed the gate. We were half way when my cell phone rang. 'Hello?' I asked through the phone. 'Is this Maya Crawford?' a voice on the other side of the phone asked. 'Yes, that's me.' Who was this, why was he calling me? 'I am sorry to tell you that your mother has been in a car accident. She has been moved to a hospital in critical condition. We will call you later for details.' I lowered my hand and pushed the red button. 'Maya-san, is something wrong?' Fujisaki-san asked concerned. I shook my head. 'Not at all.' I mumbled, 'Not at all.'
