Shades of Black and White
Chara Eggs and The Black and White Jokers
Today was more or less one of the five life-changing turning points in my life.
The day started as normal as usual; horrible.
You see, Yume Tsubasa is not a morning person. I hate them with a burning hot passion. I'm also not particularly "cheery" in the morning. You see, in the morning, I can be quite a..........demon.
My four charas looked upon me grimly as I slept contently in my bed; not likely to wake up until, at the earliest, noon.
"Who's going to do it?" asked Kaori.
"I chara-naried with her yesterday, I'm not obliged to, and there's no way Akira can handle it, cha nya~," stated Sakka as she began to float away- pulling Akira along with her.
The two remaining charas looked at each other nervously and entered into a glare-down.
"I wish she was still here, she was the only one who could ever even think to stand up to demon-Yume," sighed Kaori as she turned away from Kokoro.
"Yeah," sighed Kokoro dejectedly, but then looked up determinately, "I hate to say this, I mean I really hate to say this, but we have more of a chance if we do this together. We shall claim Victory!" at "victory", she punched the air.
"......I, begrudgingly, agree," sniffed Kaori, but then looked over at Kokoro with a smirk-ish smile, "I had fun hating you."
Kokoro was silent for a while, but then returned her smirk and put out her hand, "Ditto."
Kaori grabbed Kokoro's hand and sparkles appeared around them.
"Even if you are an unworthy heathen that should be put to death by a venial concoction," Kaori said, still in the same position.
"I don't know what the hell you just said, but I think I should kick your ass for it."
"Simpleton."
"Who the hell woke me up?"
The two chara froze and slowly turned their head to face their owner. Anyone would say they saw a calm, but sleepy face, but they knew better. They saw a gleam in her eye, and a promise of punishment so potent, there was no chance you'd survive. They held each other in fright.
"Why must the youthful always die young?!"
"Forget youthful! Why is it always the beautiful maidens?!"
Suddenly, the door burst open.
"Nee-chan!" cried two voices.
The terrifying demon turned back into a tired nee-chan who needed some damned sleep.
I had gotten back home last night, expecting a freaked out mother, only to find my doting parents had already left for a week long business trip.
Leaving me with the brats from hell.
Their names were Suzume(sparrow) and Bara(rose) Tsubasa, my adopted sisters. You see, some years ago, I had found them as toddlers, but that is a story for another time.
…........Okay I'm just lazy, sue me.
Anyway, They're both six years old, and little hellions. They were supposed to start school yesterday, but the parentals decided that they wanted them to have their first year of school privately tutored, so that they'd be ahead of their class.
Suzume looked just as odd as I looked- probably odder. She had short baby blue hair with- get this- pale pink bangs framing her face. She had lavender eyes and a mischievous set in her face. She was indeed mischievous, that and cunning, clever, and sharp. Despite that, she was naive, childish, and a tad slow. The most important thing to her though, was that she was an animal lover.
Bara looked slightly more normal than us. She had long golden-honey hair that was held up in two long pigtails. Her eyes were a champaign/rose color that were very beautiful and had a slightly serious set in her face. She was serious, stubborn, responsible, and authoritative. She was though, easily frustrated, tended to pout, and very possessive (especially of people). Her most important thing was her love of nature, especially flowers.
"Nee-chan! Nee-chan!" they sang as they climbed up on my bed and began to jump up and down.
"Whaaaaaaat?" I groaned.
"Look what we found this morning!" squealed Suzume as they stopped jumping.
I peaked out from under the blanket I had pulled over my face and saw the twins holding out something.
"Holy-" I jumped out from under my covers in surprise.
Chara eggs.
Suzume's was a golden yellow with brown paw prints going all over it. There was a snake going around the middle and birds flying on either side of it.
Bara's was the same color as her eyes and had a huge dark hot pink rose in the middle. There was dark green leaves and some thorns surrounding it from the bottom
"Since when do six year olds need would-be selves?" I questioned sardonically.
"You got yours when you were eight," retaliated Bara while folding her arms.
"There's a difference," I snapped back, my dislike for the morning affecting my responses.
Before either six year old could respond, Sakka's voice was heard, "you're going to be late for your second day of school Yume-chan, cha nya~."
I cursed and rushed everyone out of my room, charas included, and got ready. Twenty minutes later, ten minutes for a shower, ten minutes to get dressed, brush my teeth, ect., I walked out of my room and ran down to the kitchen. My family wasn't rich, though we had a fairly large house, so maids were out, and the hellion's teachers didn't get here till nine, so it was my job to make breakfast.
I chara-changed (in the ability way) with Kaori since the "perfect" lady should know how to cook, and created a delicious breakfast while my two sisters kept asking questions about charas.
I swiftly left after giving the two a kiss on the forehead, and dashed off to school. I knew I wasn't going to make it in time, even though I was pretty fast, and turned to Kokoro.
Kokoro got where this was going and said, "Chara change!"
Two dog ears and a tail popped up, and I was out of there. I made it to school with ten minutes to spare. The chara-change ended and I calmly walked onto the campus.
"Knight-sempai!" I looked down and grinned.
"Yo princey."
Tadase shyly grinned up at me and hugged my leg. I patted his head affectionately as other kids began to come up.
"Did you call her "knight" Tadase-san?"
"Isn't she the knew fifth grader?"
"Wow! She looks cool,"
[
I sweatdropped as I was surrounded by a sea of kindergarten through second graders. I looked down and saw Tadase was blushing furiously and trying to hide behind my leg with my charas trying to comfort him- though he couldn't see them.
I smirked coolly, my outer self coming out, and said, "Yeah, I'm Tadase's knight."
"Sugoi" resounded around the crowd as we began to become quite the spectacle, until someone screamed, "look out!"
Everyone looked up and some screamed as a soccer ball was soaring right at us. As it was about to nail someone in the face, I kicked it back to where it came from.
No, I did not chara-change with Kokoro, the fact of the matter is, I love soccer. I suck at all manner of sports besides track (who can't run?) and soccer, that's one of the reasons Kokoro was born. She was also born because I wanted to be fierce and be able to intimidate people.
People looked at me in awe for my act. It was pretty natural though, not only because I played soccer, but also because the ball was going for Tadase, my little prince.
I followed the ball with my eyes to see that it lead back to a kid with orangeish-brown hair and shocking light green eyes. He looked like he was about in third grade, and was staring at me in awe akin to the other kids.
"What?" I asked, not liking that everyone was staring at me.
All hell broke loose
"That was so cool!"
"She is like a knight! You're so lucky Tadase-kun!"
"If it wasn't for her, someone would of gotten hurt! You meanie!"
At that last one, I looked up and saw some kids were getting mad at the kid who kicked the soccer ball.
"Don't get mad the kid, I do the same thing all the time. I guess soccer players are a little reckless," I said with a little grin towards the boy, who looked shocked at my words.
I glance down towards Tadase and my charas and saw that Tadase was looking at me in even more admiration. Sakka looked bored, though I could see a hint of a smile at my words. Kokoro looked like she agreed with me completely and liked the kid. Kaori looked like she thought he was cute *sweatdrop*. Akira was just gently smiling at the whole thing as she began to read her book again.
"What the hell's going on?!"
I looked behind me and saw Daisuke behind me, disgruntled.
"None of your business, Halloween," I sneered back.
He 'hned' and restrained himself from exploding. I looked closer and saw that he wouldn't look at me directly and seemed to have something on his mind. I wondered what it could be, but my thoughts were interrupted by 'oohs' and 'ahhs'.
I looked around and sweatdropped at what I was. Apparently the kids thought Daisuke was impressive too.
Come in kids, the Guardians are having a meeting in the auditorium!" called Mrs. Akari.
Daisuke and I exchanged quick glances and followed the rest of the kids inside. As I passed the soccer kid, I gave him a little pat on the head and kept walking. When we got to the auditorium, Tadase went to go sit with his friends and Daisuke and I sat towards the back.
"Yume-chan," started Sakka after we had sat down, "I sense a chara egg, cha nya~."
What? More? Hadn't Suzume and Bara been enough?
"Really?" I questioned.
"Yeah, it's actually-"
"The meeting is starting, could you please quiet down?" asked Natsume into a microphone with Heisei floating close to his side.
I gave Sakka a look that we'd continue this conversation later and we settled down. Our charas, surprisingly, settling down with us.
The meeting was horrible. It was so freaking boring. Daisuke and I were nearly asleep, and most of our charas were knocked out. Sakka was curled up in my hair, and Kokoro and Kaori were leaning against me on either shoulder. My only chara who was awake was Akira who was on my lap, reading. Akuma was snoring loudly on Daisuke's shoulder, and Dei was flying laps around him.
"And now, we have come to the last item on the agenda," Natsume announced.
Finally
Everyone seemed to perk up at that, and even our charas immediately woke up. It was a little creepy.
"We're going to introduce the new guardians."
Now that had people talking. People began whispering and trying to guess who it was. Quite a few looked back at us.
All the while, Daisuke and I looked at each other in horror.
No, oh hell no.
They better have meant someone else, because I think we (Daisuke mostly) made it clear that we were not joining. I knew it was a futile hope though, since the guardians were looking directly at us and smiling *sweatdrop*.
"We'd like to introduce the knew guardians, the white joker Daisuke Tenmei and the black joker Yume Tsubasa."
Everyone went dead quiet and looked at us expectantly. I was about to go off on a cussing rant, I was so pissed. The one thing I can't stand the most is doing something against my will, and unfortunately for the guardians, my charas didn't like it either. The only thing that was stopping me from standing up and yelling, was because I knew it was a stupid thing to do, no matter how much you wanted to.
What I expected the most though, is for Daisuke to explode, and oh, did he look pissed. I could practically see his anger welling up and about to overflow. Just when I expected him to start cussing the guardians out, I heard a soft, melodious, "Chara change."
A moon popped up on Daisuke's head, and his face seemed to smooth over and the anger was never there. I stared at him, bewildered.
"No," he said calmly, but with conviction, "we made it clear yesterday that we refused to join. It was arrogant of you to still go through with it when we said no. We will be taking our leave now."
He stood up and began to walk away and he dragged a frozen me out of the room. The whole auditorium, including the guardians, seemed to be in a state of shock too. Our charas we flying numbly behind us.
Once we made it to our empty classroom, the chara change faded. It took a few seconds for all hell to break loose.
"What the hell was that?!"
"It must be the apocalypse!"
"We're all going to die!"
"I want some pocky, cha nya~!"
My calm facade was no where do be seen as we ran around the room, screaming like banshees. When we finally calmed down, Daisuke explained.
"I just found it on my bead this morning, you don't know how shocked I was," sighed Daisuke while running a hand through his hair.
We all stared at a black egg with lavender and silver stars on it. It was a very pretty egg.
"You're even more confused than you thought, congrats." I bet you can guess who said that.
"At least I don't have four."
"Touché."
The students eventually came back from the meeting, and class started. Of course, Daisuke and I got furtive glances thrown at us, but they were easily ignored.
Lunch soon came, and Daisuke and I sat under the same sakura tree from yesterday, though we were wary about squirrels.
Lunch was going fairly well, we argued most of the time and the charas played together. I found out that Daisuke and I were pretty much monsters when it came to eating food, and we were done with our lunches in under ten minutes.
I thought we were going to have a nice, quiet (in our sense), lunch until the guardians came up. My spiddey senses started tingling, and I got the feeling we'd be late fore class again.
The guardians received no warm welcome when they walked up, in fact, they received glares via charas and owners.
Though their charas were welcomed well enough.
"We'd like to say sorry," Sakura began as she broke a couple minutes of silence.
"You're not forgiven," I said bluntly.
Natsume shrugged and said, "It's not like we're giving up anyway."
"You have to be in the guardians Yume-chan!" cried the twins together, getting in my face.
"What about me?" Daisuke asked curiously while pointing to himself.
"Eh," the twins waved him off.
Before Daisuke could yell, Natsume's chara, Heisei, said, "I don't see why you don't want to join the guardians."
"Indeed, you didn't even let us explain what the guardians really is," Kyuuten, Sakura's chara, said gently.
"And what is it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
No one ever answered, because something cut them off.
"Useless"
"Useless"
I looked up and saw an two X-eggs.
I made a noise of protest in the back of my throat and said, "I already cleansed one yesterday!"
This caused the guardians to look at me in surprise and I'm sure a heard Natsume mumble, "So that's what happened to it....."
"You never told me what these things are!" Daisuke yelled at me accusingly.
"Tell him about X-eggs and character-nari while I'm taking care of this," I ordered the guardians, assuming that they new the topics.
I turned to Kokoro and said, "Ready?"
She nodded eagerly and I said, "My own heart: Unlock!"
The same thing that happened yesterday began as Kokoro went into her egg. Her egg had a sky blue background and a ton of different sports balls scattered all over it. I brought her egg into my heart, and the transformation started.
"Character nari: Sports Master Ookami!"
I had on a sky blue t-shirt that had a dark blue stripe going diagonally across it and a black #7 in the middle. My pants were baggy dark blue soccer shorts and my shoes were black cleats with dark blue slash marks on them. I had on sky blue soccer socks with shin guards underneath. I also had on light blue and black checkered wrist bands and my choker necklace.
My hair was now in a low ponytail with two bangs framing my face and my now sky blue streak going along my right bang and trailing down my ponytail. I had two chocolate brown dog ears replacing my human ears and and chocolate brown tail coming out of my shorts.
I had to say, this was one of my favorite character-nari because it was comfortable and I knew I tended to always have a confident look perpetually on my face because of Kokoro's personality.
"She can character-nari!" I heard someone gasp.
No dip
"I will kick your asses! Katsu!" Kokoro made me shout.
I mentally sweatdropped and took off after the X-eggs as they attempted to escape.
Fools, a huntress never loses her prey.
Though they were quickly flying into the sky. I needed to stop them, now.
"Predator's howl!" I began to give a chilling wolf howl that paralyzed the eggs.
Then, a soccer ball appeared by by feet. I took aim and shot it at the X-eggs. It hit the mark and they started falling through the sky to the ground.
I heard and gasp, "She's going to break them!"
I snorted and pointed towards the free-falling eggs, "negative heart, lock on: katsu tama (victory shot)!"
The eggs gave a last "Useless!" before reverting back into hearts eggs and flying back to their owner. My character-nari dispersed and Kokoro and I gave each other thumbs-ups.
"Sugoi!" I heard the twins squeal behind me.
I turned around and saw the guardians and Daisuke looking at me impressed.
"They told me what the hell was going on," stated Daisuke.
I nodded and turned to Natsume as he made a noise to get my attention, "The guardians really protect people's hearts eggs. We believe a company called Easter-"
"Easter?!" I questioned.
"You've heard of them?"
I nodded, then snorted, "What the hell kind of evil organization names themselves after a holiday? It should at least be something cool like Akatsuki........"
Everyone (even Daisuke even though he once again didn't know what we were talking about) chuckled as Natsume went on, "We believe Easter is after something that causes them to think X-eggs will help them get it. We have a hunch on what it is, but we're not sure. Anyway, there has been an increase in X-eggs and having two more powerful people on the team would help."
I looked at him curiously and said, "So you're helping protect people's dreams?"
"Yes," he confirmed.
"Oh, in that case, I'll do it," I said while smiling sweetly as sparkles surrounded me.
The guardians and Daisuke were stunned at my reaction and more than a little freaked out. My charas sighed and explained.
"Yume-chan believes that dreams are one of the most important things in the world," started Kokoro.
"I mean, her name is even Yume," stated Kaori.
"She was already doing the whole "purification" thing when we were in the NYC anyway, cha nya~," Sakka said lazily.
"S-s-she doesn't m-mind being a g-guardian if this is the c-c-cause," finished Akira shyly.
"Osu, you should have just said this in the first place," I said happily, but then added, "but you can't force Halloween to-"
"It's fine," Daisuke cut me off, "It won't be too bad if you're part of the team."
I smiled slightly. Maybe Halloween wasn't that bad after all-
"-It'll be hilarious to see you fail."
All hell broke loose for the third time today.
It looks like the guardians just got their first ever black and white jokers.
And there is numero cuatro! I think it's my longest one so far! No promises, but I might have a Halloween special tomorrow.
Thanks to BookJunkie32 and for reviewing! You rock!
And as for 's question, I'm not really sure when Ikuto got his chara *sweatdrop*.
Anyway, you met Yume's sisters, Suzume and Bara, and they got chara eggs along with Daisuke!
And~ Yume is the black joker with Daisuke being the white (can you guess where the title came from?)
Nothing else to say, but please review~! It lets me know I'm not a total failure at writing XD
R&R!!
