Author's note – Elana says she tried reviewing last Sunday but when she got on to review stories the site was messing up on her. We're still debating over whether or not to include make it so all the acts are in one fanfic, if each act should be a separate fanfic or if each fanfic should be comprised of three arcs. If you are reading this fanfic please way in with what you think would be best.
Aurora & Ikuto
ACT ONE: Enter the Muse
Chapter 1.7: Meeting the Gaurdians
The next day Aurora found herself being led by one Nadeshiko to the garden that was on campus to meet the other guardians. When she got there she was very amazed at all the flowers within the garden. It was like the fairy tales she had heard when she was little but she found herself biting her lip. "Fairy tales don't exist. There is no prince to come and rescue you from the evil stepmother."
She then arrived at the table where tea was set out and she found her cheeks flushing up due to how romantic the setting was. She had always wanted to have a tea party with friends but she had always had to take tea alone in her room being served by a servant. There was a variety of cakes and teas and she figured being one of the guardians had its advantages socially. Which honestly explained why her father wanted her to join. She sat down looking each of the ones she didn't know over.
The first one she noticed was the other female whose hair was pulled up into two pig tails. She munched on a sweet and had a rather mature looking fairy next to her. The next was a blond haired male who happened to have a fairy that was dressed like a kind. The last was an older boy who happened to have one that was dressed in sports wear.
"This is the kings chair, Hotori Tadase, this is the jacks chair, Soma Kukai and this is the ace chair, Yuiki Yaya." Nadeshiko smiled.
"It is Pepe. That name sounds a lot more mature." Yaya stated as she blew on her cup of tea.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to take on your Chara's name simply because you want to be "more mature" then what you are?" Kukai shook his head.
"I'm a lot more mature then the person whose gone and dumped nearly every single girl in the school."
"I have not!"
"Yaya's Guardian Chara was born from the fact she wants to be an older sister." Nadeshiko smiled at Aurora.
"How about Tsubasa then?"
"That is a boy's name!" Kukai shook his head.
"So?"
Aurora shook her head in confusion. "What do you want me to do?"
"We want you to be the Joker." Tadase stated. "Everyone who is on the team has a card based name and the Joker is much better then having a name based off a number."
"Did you just make up that rank for me to join?" Aurora asked suddenly.
"No." Tadase smiled at her.
"Yes." The other three said in unison.
"We do a lot of work so we need more hands." Tadase suddenly stood up. "This way we can rule the world."
"They don't seem to be very mature."
"I figure that those of us with Chara should stick together." Nadeshiko smiled.
A thought came to Aurora's mind. "Why don't any of the other students have Chara?"
"I guess that is a good question." Kukai poured himself a cup of hot coffee and began to drink it only to suddenly flinch as it burned his mouth.
"None of us know why or what the Chara are." The purple haired female commented. "Which is another reason why we should stick together. I mean, if we can find out what these Chara are all about then we can figure out how things work."
"I think it has to do with us being superheros." Yaya piped up.
"Come on. Not all of us has a character change that can really do much." Kukai sighed. "And non of us can hold character change as long as you can. Actually... your character change is quite scary."
Aurora found herself glancing down at her feet remembering how badly her own character change had turned out. "Exactly what do you mean by character changes not being able to do much."
"Tadase and mine happen to have weapons but Yaya and Kukai's only improve their characters." Nadeshikio stated. However, the purple haired male suddenly clapped a hand to her mouth. "I forgot... yours is broken. Even the chairman doesn't know what is up with that."
"Perhaps it is a good thing more kids don't go getting Chara then if they are useless like this." Yaya stated.
"That is just mean!" Kukai shook his head. "Anyways, onto business. The track team has asked me to get help with organizing a fund raiser."
Aurora found herself spacing out. She honestly wasn't feeling good. She hadn't done much travel outside of the house before and she felt herself suddenly nod off. Her mind focused on a dream with shadows in it and lights flashed revealing a seizure like scenario that she couldn't remember when Nadeshiko shook her awake.
"Are you all right?" The female smiled at her and then spoke up again. "You'll get used to it as we go along. We also don't do just boring stuff. We also have our own trip that we get to go on each semester which I am sure you will enjoy."
"I am not sure if my father will let me go."
"It is one of our activities and we get a lot of planning done, so it isn't really a vacation if that is what you are wondering about."
"I'll think about it. I honestly will." Aurora thought in the back of her mind. "It would be nice to get to go some place that isn't in this town. A place that father hasn't ever gone would be nice too though I don't know why I say that..."
