The Forgotten
Waking up from her 'deep sleep,' Amu shook Rima in order to wake her up as well for school, although it didn't really matter for Rima since a) she was a guardian and b) she had the power to fly so either way she wouldn't get in trouble. But Amu sure would. 'If only I could use magic in times like these…'
"Nagihmmmmiko…" Rima mumbled, having a peaceful dream. "No no no…No! No…Oh…No…Nooo…" that's when you could see tints of pink under her cheek. So ladies and gentlemen, I'll leave it up to your imagination to think of what she was dreaming about. Amu sighed heavily and used what she could find around the room to wake her roommate up, pans, wooden spoons, metal spoons, laptops, heck even gongs! Rima was a heavy sleeper. But even so, she looked cute when she was sleeping. She clutched the pillow she was hanging on to even tighter and started snuggling to it. 'What…The…Hell…Is…Rima…Doing…?' Amu! Get your video camera ready! YouTube, here Amu comes! 'You've left me no choice…' All of a sudden, the irritated pinkette slammed the door shut and then opened it again.
"Rima-chan! It's me, Nagihiko, come to pick you up for school!" Amu imitated in the best voice she could. That's when Rima leaned forward, awake, with twinkle of mischief in her eye.
"Amu, where's that Fujisaki?" Rima asked while changing.
"He's gone to class without you because you took too long!" lied Amu sneakily.
"That's it…Hurry up and get on the DAMN broomstick, we're catching up to him!"
Amu giggled, covering her mouth to make sure her furiated friend didn't see and got on the broomstick as fast as she could so that Rima didn't start nagging at her. 'What a beautiful day…' They both thought together as they got out of the girl's dorms and out to the open. All of a sudden, they spotted Nagihiko (with Ikuto and Tadase) then the broomstick stopped, causing them to land on the boys. "Ow! Watch where you're walking, idiots!" Rima and Amu harassed mutually.
"And YOU! You said you'd WAIT for me!" Rima pointed, directly at Nagihiko, getting up.
"I…I did…?" Nagihiko innocently replied, with a sweatdrop.
"Don't act like you didn't!"
Meanwhile, Amu greeted Ikuto good morning and realized her all time crush, Hotori Tadase was there.
"You know Ikuto?" Tadase asked graciously.
"Y-Yes! I guess you would as well, since you're both the guardians," she replied nervously. 'Ahhh! He's talking to me!' Amu could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks, and only Ikuto noticed. That was the perfect time to tease her.
"Come on Amu, I'll walk you to school," he said, grabbing her away from Tadase.
"W-Wait! T-Tadase-kun!" she shouted, not positively happy that she was taken to school by Ikuto. "Oi! I never said you could take me."
"I know, I chose to. I choose everything around here. I can make those girls make me a lime cheesecake right now in three minutes if I wanted to but I'm not that stuck up," Ikuto said, pointing at a group of girls who were fangirling over him.
"Not THAT stuck up? Are you kidding me? You're on a whole different level!" Amu bickered.
"Stop trying to start a row with me. And stop resisting whatever I do to you."
"Oh yeah? What you going to do to me if I do?"
"I'm going to make a rumour that you like Tadase. Not that it's a rumour though, of course. It's true. Right?" Ikuto smirked. He liked teasing girls who played hard to get.
"Why you little… Fine. I mean, it's not that hard, whatever."
"Hmmmm? Okay then, let's make a bet."
Amu raised an eyebrow as if he was insane. "What kind of bet."
"If I tease you, don't try and push me away or anything. For a week. If you win, I'll do whatever you want me to do, for a month and if you lose you have to do whatever I order you to do!" Amu got out her hand for a handshake and then grinned evilly.
"It's on."
"Amu! Come on, let's go!" Rima yelled, grabbing her hand and parting herself from Nagihiko.
"I'll see you after school," Ikuto exclaimed, with a wink.
"W-Wait, what do you mean after school?" Amu complained, getting further and further away from Ikuto yet he didn't give an answer, just stood there smirking.
Later that day, Amu was wondering if she should ask Rima about that dream or not. After all, since she was her roommate, it was her business! So in the middle of period 4, she poked Rima with a sharp pencil and tried to get her out of her daydream. It was no use. (I forgot to mention that Rima was drooling. Yes. Drooling. That doesn't happen very often!) "R-Rima!" Unfortunately, there was no answer. 'This would great picture but this isn't the right time…'
"Mashiro-san? Could you show the class on how you tame your familiar?" the teacher called out, requesting politely.
'Perfect timing, sensei!'
Finally, Rima snapped out of it and walked up to the board clueless of what to do. "So could you please demonstrate?" asked the teacher, once again.
"Excuse me sensei, but may I demonstrate on what?"
"Taming your familiar, of course, where you not listening?"
"Oh I see you are not aware. My ears have been blocked since yesterday, due to an unknown reason. I've been thinking of seeing the nurse about this," Rima lied, quite convincingly.
"Please do. Now, could you get on with my demand?"
"Of course. Raven, come forth!" Rima raised her wand, cast the spell and there was a small version of a dragon, cuddling at Rima's feet. Even though it looked cute, he was actually really violent and vicious in battle. "Raven, if you do the wind whirlpool spell I taught you yesterday, I'll give you a treeeaat!" Rima winked at it and Oberon nodded at its master tamely. Abruptly, Raven breathed in and breathed out with hurricanes of wind coming out of his mouth (which smashed the windows and the door open) "Good boy! Now do the wind storm spell auntie taught you." Again, Raven breathed and breathed out, with a round white glowing ball in his mouth which grew bigger and bigger by the minute. Once it stopped growing, it started to explode.
That ball was created from energy from Rima's heart. That's how it always worked so if the user didn't feel like casting the spell then it wouldn't work. (But if the magic user was really determined to get a spell right, that's when it would show its true power although that didn't happen very often, only in battles)
After a few minutes, the spell was over and all the students in the class, except Amu, protected themselves in a barrier. Lucky for Amu, the teacher realized in the middle of the spell that she wasn't able to control her magic so she had her barrier ready for her. Peering around the room, Amu gawped at much destruction it made. Everything in the class was blown away by the wind and it created a humongous whole in the middle of the floor. Rima really was strong.
"Wow, Mashiro-san that was amazing! I think next time however, we're going to do this class outside. I didn't think that through." The teacher sweatdropped. She raised her wand and mouthed a spell, then immediately the class was back to normal and everything was placed where it use to be.
Going back to her seat, Rima realized the look on Amu's face had mixed emotion. Jealousy, happiness, staggered, joy, astonishment, all swept in to one. "Rima…You're incredible…" Amu complimented, trying to force a smile. This was all because she wasn't able to do the magic she's always wanted to do. It was always holding her back, the opportunities that other people always took because she wasn't able to take. When it came to war and battles, she always had to sit aside and be protected instead of being there for her loved ones. It hurt, being useless all the time. Why did it happen to her? Why? 'Why?'
That was when it happened. "Amu, don't worry! Be patient!" squawked a gentle voice inside of her. While the teacher was carrying on with the lesson, a sudden flash bounced across the room and out to the principal's office. It exploded, but the explosion went down right through the principal's office to the canteen which was right at the end of the school. On the way, every class was blown up and many people were injured. Also, out in the school grounds, was a massive hole that went extremely deep in to the planet. No one was aware so they didn't have the time to protect themselves, except the principal who was slightly worried it was an enemy. He was extremely old (looked a bit like Dumbledore from Harry Potter, may I mention) yet powerful, which was why he was chosen for the spot. Swiftly, all the teachers were summoned for a meeting, leaving the students all on their own.
"Amu! The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend. Use your power for the good and save your loved ones lives!" said the gentle voice, once again but fading out this time. Could it be that this was Amu's doing? No, it couldn't be. She was too young to cause something so big that only a heavily trained Spirit was capable of doing without bombs or grenades. Heck, even those two can't do so much damage as that, Seiyo Academy is one of the biggest schools throughout the whole of the Magic World! It being Amu's power was too much of a miracle. The reason why Seiyo was so big was so that enemies found it impossible to attack every building, yet someone was able to create such damage that would affect every room there was. It was impossible, yet it was happening right in front of their eyes.
Gathering together, the students examined around the demolished room and gawked in bewilderment. "Who in the world… did this?" Saaya demanded to know, banging on whatever was nearest.
"Why and how would WE know?" Rima replied, looking at her torn up uniform.
"Amu, why isn't your uniform damaged?" Nagihiko asked out of curiosity. His blouse was torn to bits, exposing his whole chest. (Yet you'd think Rima would be blushing but noooo…)
Amu looked down and saw that there was nothing there, not even a single scratch or cut. "I-I don't know…" she truthfully replied.
"Amu, spill the beans!" one of Saaya's mobs badgered, who also looked ridiculous because her hat was on her head in a weird angle.
"I told you, I don't know!"
"Was this your cause?"
"No! I told you!"
"You're lying, Hinamori!" Saaya roared.
"But I said I'm not! How can you say that I did it when you've been bullying me for years JUST because I can't use magic and now you say I'm the reason for something only a skilled Spirit would be able to do?"
Rima and Nagihiko were about to both say something until the door slammed open.
"That's enough, leave Amu alone," a familiar voice demanded. It was none other than Ikuto.
"I-Ikuto-kun." Saaya looked down, as if she was ashamed.
He wasn't by himself however; he was with the rest of the guardians. "Rima, Nagihiko, we need you for a meeting, and you too Hinamori," said a brown haired boy, known as Kukai Souma. He didn't normally act so…Serious.
"M-Me?" Amu asked. He nodded.
They all exited out of the door and headed for a room that was full of stern looking teachers. "Ahh, the guardians, I'm glad you've come, you may take a seat," the Principal announced. "Now, Hinamori, you're here because of that uniform right there."
"Y-Yes, I am fully aware that it hasn't been touched or damaged…" Amu hesitated.
"Have you got anything to do with this? I'm not saying that you created this…Explosion, but do you know why it happened at this time?" Amu shook her head. "I see. Well then, do you have an idea as to why it hasn't been damaged?" Again, she shook her head without success. "We are all at alert that you aren't able to control your magic yet, so we can't put the blame on you without proof so don't worry. However, are you sure a friend that knew that this was happening protect you?"
"No, not at all. If you want me to be honest, my only friends are Nagihiko, Rima and Ikuto but Ikuto wasn't in the room at that time and Rima and Nagihiko did not know about this blow-up."
"I see… That you for the useful information, Hinamori-san, Nikaidou-sensei has got it all." Nikaidou-sensei was useful for organizing things, he has the ability to store things in his memory for a long period of time and when he did eventually forget about it, it was always mysteriously written on a piece of paper. No one knew how or why, it must've been a family trait because his mum used to have it.
Anyhow, the guardians and Amu were all dismissed while the teachers combined their powers to fix all the damage done. It took up a lot of magic, I assure you. Meanwhile, the principal went back to his office and thought carefully until there was a knock on his door which was his assistant, Sanjou Yukari. She was standing outside with two cups of tea in her hands. "Ahh, Sanjou-san, thank you."
"My pleasure. How is it going, sir?"
"Good, I guess. But I'm worried."
"How so?"
"Amu Hinamori. I'm afraid she might be a…"
Ahhh this chapter was so fun to write~ I'm sorry about the ending, such a cliffy. XDDD
