Chapter Four: Paranoia Meet Its Maker: Ikuto!
When Amu got home, she just went straight to her room and ignored her family. "Man, that was exhausting!" she complained to her charas.
Ikuto had really stirred things up. After Tadase and Ikuto had left the Royal Garden, Rima, Yaya, and Nagihiko managed to get at least some of the story out of her. She didn't tell them that when Ikuto stole that kiss the night before that she had only been in a towel. It was embarrassing to even remember it! And then, after school Ikuto had been waiting for the pink haired girl! There were so many rumors going through Seiyo about the "cool and spicy" Hinamori Amu that she feared she would never hear the end of it.
When Amu was called downstairs for dinner, she ate quickly. Her mama and papa were watching the same psychic woman as always. At one point she pointed and exclaimed, "You will lose something important to you soon!"
Amu jumped. It was creepy the way it seemed that she was pointing to her… Almost like the night that she had gained her Guardian Charas.
"Did she scare you?" Amu's mama asked.
"N-no! Why would I listen to a psychic?" she responded in her "cool and spicy" tone. "I'm tired. May I be excused?"
Her mama nodded and then turned to her papa. "That's our Amu! Cool and spicy!"
Amu sighed and went to her room. "What's wrong, Amu-chan?" Ran asked.
"I just hope that the rest of my week isn't like this," Amu replied.
Miki smirked. "That psychic scared you didn't she?"
"S-she didn't!" Amu protested.
Ran, Miki, and Su started chanting, "Amu's a scaredy-cat! Amu's a scaredy-cat!"
Amu got annoyed and finally cried, "Hush!" as she chased after them. The three giggled as they went into their eggs. Dia watched the scene with a smile on her face.
She went over to her annoyed master and said, "Don't worry about it." Dia then went back into her egg as well, joining the three in the dollhouse.
Amu smiled as she mulled over what her chara had said. She's right, she thought. Tomorrow will be better!
A/N: I really have no idea how to portray Dia, so excuse me if I got her OOC. I gots lots in store so please keep reading and reviewing!
