Chapter 10: Time Travel.
Floating fast pass by a large, glowing with un-readable markings, stone, circler hole I look all around me.
"This is… Is-!"
"Amazing, yes?"
I look over to Sora with a wide smile.
"Yeah! I can't believe that I'm doing through this… I can't wait to find answers!"
I spoke; thinking about what is it that mom and dad were hiding from me all this time. I can't wait to see it all! I'll finally know the truth!
Flash Back…
"Are you sure you're ready for this Sosuke?"
Sora asks, seeing me pack some needed stuff inside my school bag. I just finish school for the day and I ran all the way home from there. I didn't wait for Shin or anyone else either.
"Yes! I need to do this!"
Sora nods his head in understanding. I then finish packing and look over to my Character.
"I'm ready."
With a nod from time Character, Sora puts his staff up into the air and it begins to glow bright in blue. A picture of a clock appears on the floor I'm standing on while my silver watch appears as well. It glows brighter and then I felt myself begin to float up into the air. My eyes went wide in surprise before the two of us both disappear into time and space.
End Of Flash Back…
"We're almost there!"
Sora said, so I look around myself before spotting a bright light ahead of us.
"Is that it?"
"Yes."
As the light grew brighter while we continue trowds it, I couldn't help but feel a small pit of worry begin to grow inside me. I didn't listen to it and enter the light with Sora and found myself landing onto hard ground.
"Ow!"
"Oof!"
We both cried but getting up in pain and look around us.
"This is… The past?"
I then begin to notice a building being built nearby and quickly found out what that building is for.
"That's the stake park club they're working on! We must be in the park…"
"We are in the year of 2012. Your mother age is 16 and your father's age is 14."
I look over to Sora with wide eyes.
"So mom and dad are around my age then… I never counted how many years of the age difference are of those two but now I know."
Before Sora could speak, something went flying into my face, causing me to fall down hard with another cry of pain. Sora stares at where I got hit at and turn around to see the thing come back for him and knock him down.
"What the hell was that?!"
"I don't know-!"
"Hurry, it went this way!"
We both went eye wide in horror and was about to run when that quick thing came back for round 2 and knock Sora away from me, causing the Character to fly into someone. Sora quickly realizes that he flew into someone and gasps in more horror when he looks up to see who it is. I on the other hand, kept on getting hit, trying to defend myself with my arms. Before the thing could do another powerful attack on me, someone came and attack the thing, making it slow down so I could get a better look at it. My eyes went wide again.
"It's one of those damn X-Eggs!"
My thoughts scream and before I could get up to beat that X-Egg up, someone took their hand out to me. I look up slowly to see who the person is and my heart begin to beat faster then ever. In front of me is none other then…
"…D-dad?!"
My thoughts scream again as the said man; Hotori Tadase stood there before me with a small smile.
"Are you alright?"
I couldn't believe this shit! Just then two more people join us to see me and Tadase. I quickly noticed that one of them looks almost like Shin! This is… Shin's dad?! Sora quickly flew over and hid behind my shoulder in fear. I knew why but try to keep it all cool as I took dads- I mean younger dads- no, Tadase's hand while he help me stand up.
"Are you alright there?"
I look over to a boy with green eyes, light brown hair, and tan skin.
"Um, yeah."
I noticed that Shin's soon-to-be-dad looks at me carefully. Please don't tell me he knows who I am! Is it possible for him to know who I am?
"What's your name?"
The boy with the light brown hair asks.
"Oh, my name is Ho- Sosuke."
I quickly cover my last name. Shin's dad noticed this and begins to cross arms. The other two made faces at this.
"Ho?"
"Sosuke?"
They both look at each other before trying to hold in their laughs while their Characters look at us closely. I back away a little bit.
"You must be new around here."
I look over at this king Character. My eyes went wide. Character's… SHUGO CHARACTERS?! They… THIS IS THE SERECT MOM AND DAD KEPT FROM ME?! I then remember about mom and dad's almost hint when we were on our way to Xion's house.
Flash Back…
"So dad…"
I started, looking over to see that dad is driving the car.
"Who are your old friends that we're going to see anyways?"
I ask him, hearing mom giggle with a now warm smile. Dad smile as well and answers me.
"Your mother and I knew them when we were younger. We had many adventures together."
I raise an eyebrow.
"Like what kind of adventures?"
Mom answer that quickly before dad could.
"Oh, just what every kid around your age would do. Hang out, go to the beach, clamping… Ya know, stuff like that."
Mom's eyes said otherwise.
End Of Flash Back…
"Where are you from?"
A spots Character asks. I look at the being before answering.
"Um… I live here… Will not like here, here but I'm from around here."
I begin to laugh a little, having two of the owners of their Characters smile at us while the third one continues to stare at me in thought. The light brown hair boy points a finger at himself with a grin.
"My name is Kukai and this is my Shugo Chara, Daichi."
Dad then spoke up.
"I am Tadase and this is my Character, Kiseki."
I nod my head at him before looking over Shin's dad. He continues to stare at me before speaking.
"Nagihiko. And this is Rhythm and Temari."
I stare at the girl Character in shock. Nagihiko notice this and walks right into my face.
"Do we have a problem here?"
I gulp and back away.
"N-no, sir!"
Tadase and Kukai blink at Nagihiko's actions before shrugging their shoulders. Tadase then pick up the X-Egg from the ground since he knock it out.
"We better free this X-Egg."
We look over to him. Kukai, Nagihiko and their Characters nod their heads yes before backing away, taking me and Sora with them. I then notice dad holding a staff with a crown on top of his head as he holds up the X-Egg and points his staff to it and within a small beam of light hitting the egg, it begins to lose its dark form with the X on it as it disappears into the light. I stare at where it once was in amazement. How did he do that?
"You're lucky you can use your heart into freeing them. We can't do that yet."
Tadase smiles at his friends.
"It's all thanks to Amu and Tira's twin locks."
I raise an eyebrow.
"Twin locks?"
Wait, did he say moms name?! And… Amu? OH! He is talking about Xion's mother?!
"Oh yeah, you must be a new owner. We don't have a lot of time though but we could take you to someone who does."
Tadase spoke, smiling at me. He turns his head to his friends.
"I'll take Sosuke to the First King."
I made a confused face. First King…? They nod their nods at their friend before turning around to walk off together with their Characters by their side. Tadase turns over to me and begins to walk with me and Sora following us. It was quiet but before I knew it, we somehow got from the park to the forest I don't know of. I look around in confusion.
"Did you get us lost?"
"Nope. We're already here."
I gave him another confused look before looking up to where he is looking at and gasps out loud. I did not see this old close down building before! I stare at it before Tadase spoke to me and Sora.
"Go inside, ask to speak to a man name Tsukasa and ask him questions about what Shugo Chara's are and what they do."
Tadase smiles at me one more time before turning around and begins running off to catch up with his friends. I watch him leave before looking back over to the building and begin walking.
"Sosuke…?"
"Yes?"
I answer Sora, who is still worry.
"We have to go back in our time to stop our past self's from entering this time line."
"We should be safe. They didn't seem to notice that I'm from the future."
"But Nagihiko noticed something."
I stop myself from opening the front doors to look at Sora.
"And if he does know something we could always change it, right?"
Sora frowns deeply before nodding his head slowly.
"I guess…"
With that, we enter the building and look around to see many rows of old and dirty looking seats in front of a large and never used again stage. I look at it for a while, not noticing the new person next to me.
"Hello there."
"AH!"
We both jump away from the man in surprised. He smiles at us while I grew more surprised. HE F**KING LOOKS LIKE DAD!
"Um, are you Tsukasa?"
Sora spoke before I could come back from my now state of shock. Tsukasa looks at my Character and smiles.
"Yes, I am."
I then came out of my shock state.
"Good. Tadase said that-!"
"I know why you're here."
I stop and stare him. I watch him take an old kids book from out of nowhere and hands it to me.
"Here, read this."
I gave him a raise eyebrow before taking the book and read the title.
"The Heart's Egg?"
Tsukasa sits down with a cup of tea that I didn't notice he had, so I join him and open the book to the first page and begin to read it.
"All children hold an egg in their heart…
An egg that cannot be seen with your eyes."
I notice the next pages were ripped but put back together inside the book. I didn't question it through and turn to the next page.
"The lost Egg went on a journey. To find its owner. But the journey was long, hard, and lonely…
'Maybe I'll stay lost. But… If I give up… Someone's heart would be empty.'"
I made a face. Um, the hell is this? I continue to read the last pages left.
"The Egg wipes its tears and stands up. And then…
It continues its journey and found the person with an empty heart."
I stop reading that last sentence to look up at Tsukasa who spoke the same sentence as in the book. He smiles wide at me.
"The Egg ran right over to the person with an empty heart and said:
'Are you the one I have been looking for?'
The person turns to the Egg and smiles at the Egg.
'Yes, I am the one.'
The Egg smiles back at his newly found friend and join him inside his heart, feeling the joy and love of never being alone again."
I didn't have to read the last page because of Tsukasa saying it out loud while I silently read along the book. It's weird that he already knows the sentences in the book. I wasn't sure what the book meant though. What is he getting at? Sora didn't seem to understand it either because he too had on a confused face. The older man chuckles a little before speaking.
"Keep the book."
I stare at him with wide eyes.
"You might need it again."
Before I could ask him why, I felt my body and Sora's as we both glow bright and begin to float into the air. Tsukasa watches us with a warm smile before we both went back to our time with the book.
A/N: The going through time will happen again soon, guys! Just need to come up with more ideas after my next idea. See you all soon!
