A Beautiful lie?
Months had passed and school was tomorrow but her egg still hasn't hatched. And the crazy moods hadn't changed either, or the voice in her head. Actually it seemed worse! And the Ikuto VS. Tadase battle is still at a tie.
Ikuto hasn't passed by either…now why am I thinking about that!? Amu scolded herself. Amu looked back at her shugo charas and the unborn egg especially to make sure they were safely inside.
Amu was going to walk out the door until a voice stopped her.
"Amu-Chan, where are you going so early?" Dia asked. She always did wake up early.
" I'm planning to meet the guardians, err… former guardians " That's right I'm not a guardian anymore and neither are they, except for Yaya…She should be happy about it, you know finding the embryo, going back to their normal lives though it might be boring but…But that just dissevers her only real bond with Ikuto. Ikuto…
"Amu-Chan, you don't want to keep them waiting do you especially Tadase." Dai stated. She had to take advantage on everything that had anything about him, while I Suu on …Nikaido, Miki on Kukai. And Ran prohibits boys, don't be fooled by her smiles, honestly she gives them to everyone to be polite but Dia had to choose Tadase. Tadase! Why was Ikuto on her mind and not him?
"Oh! Umm ,yeah. I have to get going!" I said as I dashed out of the house.
When she saw the café, the one and only, Black Cat, she saw everyone but Tadase. Already knowing what she was going to say Nagihiko said
"Tadase had some chores to do at home so he couldn't make it" he/she with an 'I-know-something-you-don't' glint in he/she" eyes, said. Clearly he/she didn't even tray to suppress it. Looking around so did everyone else.
"Thanks! Nagi..hiko!" Amu still hasn't quite gotten use to the new gender thing yet. Really, how can I guy have such feminine legs! Getting around the glint in their eyes they proceeded to their table. From the corner of her eyes she saw Ikuto. He was going to serve the table until he saw her and swiftly turned back.
A new waiter or should I say waitress came and took their orders. Through out the whole meal she couldn't help but to feel someone watching her.
Amu realized that she and Nagihiko were in the homeroom class was in the boy's uniform. Through the whole day she found that she doesn't share any classes with Tadase.
In lunch she and Tadase shared an uncomfortable silence. Nadihiko elbowed him and eyed his unusually stuffed bag. Amu couldn't help but notice the pink wrapping paper and ribbons spouting out. Tadase immediately shoved the bag out of her view.
School proceeded as planned. None of her thoughts decreased from that night after prom. And unsurprisingly the have added up to more and walking alone home didn't help either. Kukai had soccer practice and Nagihiko lived too far to walk.
"Hinamori-san!" Tadase called. Still Hinamori- san, huh? I immediately turn eagerly,ignoring the voice. to see Tadase running toward me with 2 packages, a small and larger one each wrapped perfectly in pink wrapping, tied in darker pink ribbon with a big , giant heart smacked in the middle. It was the thing I saw earlier today in lunch. A little overwhelmed by the color scheme but looked like Ran's transformation. Since it's obviously for me I wait for him to catch up.-
"Hinamori-san, this is you and your shugo chara, Ran. It took me a while but I got it done" he said between pants, handing out the packages. Humph, what a wimp! It really wasn't a long run here.
"Thank you Tadase! I'll tell them that you said that!" I say giving a simile Amulet Heart would, which of course caused him to blush. Guys are supposed to make girls blush not the other way around! Really, am I going crazy or is this a..a..a something supposed to happen! It's not in the health manual…
When I got home the shugo charas were disappointed especially Dia. So when ask why they just stumble for words. Well until the egg hatched.
Out came a…catgirl? She had blue-purple mid-length edgy hair, diagonal bangs to the right just above the eye and a cross headband.. She wears a half turtle-neck tank, dark purple, , matching mini skirt with leggings and everything has lace trim on the bottom. She also wears dark purple boots, matching long, lace arm gloves and a cross chain on her skirt. Plus she has cat ears and a tail, duh. Basically a girl Yuro.Lastly, her name is..
"Name's Aya; you know means colorful?" Aya says impatiently, looks like she has something to say. Wait that voice!
"You're or were the voice in my head..." I respond slowly.
"Well of course I am! You need all the help you can get!" she speaks matter of fact.
"But why did you hatch so late?"
"It didn't feel right all those moments."
"And it was now?" How could it have been now?
"Yes and no. I couldn't stand how oblivious you are so I came out now!"
"Oblivious?" I ask. Really how would she know? Then again she is my would be self. Hmm, I would really have to ask her why I wanted to be a catgirl. And why she yelled Ikuto to get me back to reality? Ikuto! Why would he be a catboy?
"Amu! Amu! Were you even listening? Aya asked with her little chibi hands on her hips.
"Uh, no…sorry" I mummer.
"Care to tell me why?" She asked impatiently but smirked when she saw my blush. Damn it!
"Ikuto, isn't it" she whispered devilishly in my ear surprisingly me from behind. I don't understand why she is fond of Ikuto but not really crush like Miki so I ask.
"I don't need a man" she had replied. She wasn't interested in Yuro either but they would look so cute, except too perfect.
"Hey stop forgetting me! Now let me repeat this again. Sorry to say this to you but I'm going to be straight forward to the truth. It's obvious that Tadase only likes you as Amulet Heart, explaining the treats for only you and Ran." She said all knowingly but not too proud, after all she hit a weak point' her greatest fear. Tadase had told this to her before but he could have changed after all that was 3 yeas ago, 11 years old. But nothing did. As sad as it sounds she's right.
"You guys can have the treats, I have to ...go, I need time " I say running out of the house going to the only place they don't know about. Jumping over the rose bushes not caring about the thorn's pain or the rain. Rain is good. No one can see the tears as so she thought.
Reaching the bench under the willow near the water lily pond I sit and think… and cry.
He doesn't like me.
He doesn't like me.
He doesn't like me.
He doesn't like ME.
-"Stay strong don't cry, you'll be saved."
Humph! What a beautiful lie! The both of them!
"Amu…"
Or not…
