Sorry for the late update. I didn't have time in all week to write it down I beg of you all to please forgive me. It was never my intention for me to update it this late. If there is any way to make it up to you please tell me. We have been painting the house all week long. And then we have to continue next week also. Let's just say that between me and my brother I barely got a dot of paint on me. And I had to do all the hard work.
Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara, if I did I would be the most happy person alive. But sadly I do not so I am not the happiest person alive.

"So how was your guys' day?" Ikuto asked the gang. The gang was sitting at the dinner table eating dinner. It had become a habit that Ikuto would ask about how the day had gone. Sometimes nobody had anything to say and other times they would start yelling.
"Yaya's teacher gave Yaya cake. And candy." Yaya offered. She was jumping up and down at her seat. Actually, she hadn't stopped bouncing around since school.
"That would explain why you have been so hyper all day long," Kukai teased her. "My team bested Nagihiko's team in basketball today."
"Yeah, by one measly point! And it shouldn't have counted!" Nagihiko countered. He hated losing to anybody in basketball, even if it was to Kukai. They then started to argue for a while.
"The class went crazy when they first saw Rima-san. And for the rest of the day they couldn't stop looking at her." Nadeshiko replied. She had waited for Kukai and Nagihiko to finish arguing before she had talked. In all the gang she had the best manners.
"And Nadeshiko get very upset with all the questions that were being asked." Rima told them. She then smiled slightly under her bangs, knowing that Nadeshiko would have never admitted it.
"So how was your day Amu. You haven't said anything today. And usually you are the first to talk." Ikuto asked Amu. She then looked down at her plate without responding. After a minute or two she started to talk.
"We are doing a project in history. It's in partners." Amu replied. She then didn't say anything else. Ikuto looked at her weirdly but didn't say anything.
"So what are you and Nagi going to do?" Utau asked emotionless. Even if she didn't show it she always wanted to know what was going on.
"There's the catch." Nagihiko replied. "We didn't get to choose our partners. Unfortunately Sakura-sensei did."
"And if we ask for a different partner she is going to give us an automatic fail. And it's worth half of our grade. So Kukai and Yaya can't do anything about it." Amu sighed and put down her fork. Telling that to Ikuto had made it a reality. And that made her looser her appetite.
"So what you are trying to tell me is that you have a boy for your partner?" Ikuto asked her. The whole gang winced at the tone of voice Ikuto had used. It meant that for a while nobody should make him even angrier.
"Hey, Ikuto, calm down man. How about I go and ask Sakura-sensei if they could work in groups of four but staying with their partner? That way Nagihiko and Amu would still be in the same group but won't fail. That probably will work." Kukai told Ikuto in an effort to calm him down. But once he had said it out loud, he realized that it was actually a very good idea.
"It just might actually work. But either way Ikuto, the kid is even younger than Yaya." Amu reassured him "And his older sister is Nagi's partner."
"Okay." Ikuto grumbled. He didn't want any guys outside of the gang around his Amu. He hated it. But then again there would always be times when that couldn't be avoided.
"Anybody home?"
Everyone looked at each other before Yaya yelled in happiness. Instantly there were smiles on everybody's face, except Rima's.
"Lulu-tan!" A girl with blonde curly hair entered the dining room. She wore a blue and white dress with a purple hair clip. She had deep blue eyes and looked to be a foreigner. Next to her floated a Shugo Chara.
"Who is she?" Rima asked them all. The one who answered was Utau.
"She is Lulu de Morcef Yamamoto. She was the very first person we kidnapped. I think she was around nine years old."
"I am also the one who made people fear the Black Lynx." Lulu said. "And I suppose you are the new kid."
"Yes, my name is Rima,, Mashiro Rima." Rima told her. Lulu then went to stand next to Amu. She leaned against Amu's chair to talk to her.
"So you decided to stay also. I guess I am the only one who ever left." Lulu spoke the obvious.
"You did help people fear us thought." Kukai remembered her. Lulu then giggled a bit. "With you, some parents have hope of seeing some of us again." Nagihiko then decided to interrupt.
"But this group is so awesome that no one wants to leave."
"So how long until your will broke Rima?" Lulu asked her.
"One week, but I heart that Amu lasted at least two weeks." Rima replied.
"That is true. Ikuto was about to give up on her ever accepting. I lasted for four days." Lulu then seemed to remember something very important. "Where are my manners? This is my Shugo Chara, Nana."
"How are ya'll." Nana greeted them. The first think that Rima noticed was that she had a Nagoya accent. She had red hair and wore a big purple hat with white trim. Her dress was purple with a white trim and fringe. There were many gems on top of the fringe. In total she had a doll like appearance.
"Hi! He he!" Kusukusu giggled. She was forever laughing.
"This is my Shugo Chara Kusukusu. And she is always laughing.
"So what brings you here today Lulu?" Ikuto asked her. Lulu then thought for a moment before she answered.
"Well it has been a while since I last visited. I remembered that Amu would have already made the choice of leaving or staying. And that you would soon be recruiting someone new. That's why. By the way, why did you get another girl?"
"Well, I am not letting Amu go anywhere." Ikuto told her. He then wrapped an arm around Amu's waist and brought her closer to him. "And they decided to get another girl, not me. "
"Hm. I still remember when you kidnapped me. I was but a child of nine. Kukai was ten. You were fourteen and Utau was thirteen." Lulu remembered. She sighed remembering the year she spent with them.
"You helped us get more information on the Embroyo though," Utau told her.
-Twenty Conversations Later -
"Well I have to go now. I am going to meet Mama at the studio. She is making a new movie. Nice to meet you Rima. And good thing that you stayed Amu." Lulu said. When she had left it was already eleven at night.
"We should go to sleep now guys. You all have school tomorrow. And I don't want you to fall asleep in the middle of class. Kukai, think of a way to convince Sakura-sensei. And Rima, I moved the bed you were staying in to Utau's room." Ikuto told them.
"Why my room Ikuto?" Utau asked him.
"Because the rest of us are already sharing a room with another person. And you were the only one that wasn't." he replied.
After a couple of "good nights", they all went to their rooms.
So there you have the ninth chapter. I was wondering what you my readers think. Should they get caught or should they escape the authorities and live freely. Your opinion counts. So give me your ideas. Rate and Review. Peace out Yo.
