Chapter 10 : Everyone's Thoughts

Xerra: Yoh! I'm back! =-= I wasn't and will not be able to update next week so please bare with me and thanks for the reviews =] hehehe

Amu and Ikuto: =-= you were supposed to post this yesterday.

Xerra: Disclaimer: I do not own shugo chara.

Amu: Is she ignoring us?

Ikuto: I think she is.

Xerra: x3x poker face...

RIMA POV

I'm glad Amu's back to her old self but something seems wrong. As if she's hiding something from me. She wouldn't look at me straight in the eyes. What could it be?

"We're home." We both say in unison.

"Welcome back." My Auntie says.

Our house is sorta run down; well it is run down, what do you expect from a poor family anyway? Amu went into her room without even saying good night to me and banged the door hard. That was rude! But I for the moment, I will allow her since she just came back to her old self. Well, since she did that to me, I'll do the same thing. I banged my door when I came in and it felt good!

"Rima, don't bang your door!"

Oh, come on! Amu can get away with it, how come I can't? "Unfair!" and as I said that, I heard snickers from the other room. "You'll have to practice some more before you can catch up to my cool and spicy attitude, Rima." Amu shouted from the other room.

"Shut up, Amu! You're just staying here anyway!"

And she laughs. I'll let her get away with it for now.

UTAU POV

I went home alone. Ikuto never came and Amu was still alive. I am shaking right now in my room. Amu should have died. She should have! My life was about to be better when she dies. How come she's still alive! That bitch! She has a lot of sins! Why can't she just die?

IKUTO POV

I kissed her… Am I stupid or what? How many times do I have to tell myself that I'm her brother… And those memories keep on going back, especially the part where she pushed me… I thought she loved me? Then why would she resist? Oh right, we can never be and will never be together.

Ikuto nya~ When are we going home nya~ Yoru said yawning.

"Never…"

Come on nya~ You have to take care of your other sister nya~ Would you like to lose her too nya~ Yoru yawned some more.

"Utau can live on her own…" I groaned, annoyed by my own to be character.

Are you sure nya~

"Just keep quiet Yoru…." I am really irritated now.

Okay nya~ If you need me nya~ You know where I'll be nya~

And he retreated back to his egg… At last.

Sigh… Yoru's right… I still have one sister left… I can't afford to lose another one this time… And as I said that, cat ears and a cat tail appears on me again… And I leave my favourite spot, the highest building in our town, the Easter Building.

AMU POV

I'm back… Back to my old self… I think… I was lying on my bed, thinking about what happened today, Ikuto screaming in the school entrance, Utau pushing me down the building, me imagining Ikuto and I kiss, Tadase saving me, and me returning to my old self. I can't believe all of this happened in just one day, and the day when I was supposed to NOT see Ikuto and Utau. Well I guess it went well.

I sniffed my clothes and found it stinky! I think I should take a hot bath now…

I rushed to get my towel and pyjama that I bought a while ago, it was pink with hearts on it, it was the cute type, and at last I can wear one without anyone seeing me! And before I knew it, my pink egg with hearts started cracking and out came a small cute cheerleader. Her clothes looked so cute! I was staring at her until she spoke, now that surprised me.

Hi Amu! I'm Ran, you're guardian character! She said introducing herself.

And I looked at her dazed.

Amu-chan! Are you alright! Amu!

She started waving at my face and pumped her pom poms around. And she started cheering.

Amu-chan! Amu-chan! You can do it Amu-chan! Go Amu-chan!

"Thanks Ran… I guess…" I said, kicked out from my trance by her cheer.

No problem Amu-chan! And if you have any problems, I'll be cheering you on!

"Thanks… Oh I better show you to Rima…" I said starting to open the door.

She can't see me…

"She can! She has a guardian character too." I informed her and she suddenly changed attitude.

Really? Let me see her! Let me see her! Go! Move Amu-chan! Bring me to her!

Wow, she is energetic… Well at least my life won't be that boring anymore.

"Rima!" I said rushing to her room! And I banged her door and rushed inside. "Rima, look! I have a guardian character! She just broke out of her egg a while ago."

Then Rima stared at me then at Ran then at me then at Ran then at me then at Ran… And it repeated and repeated that I started bursting out, "Rima! We both have guardian characters already!" Then she went out of her trance and grabbed my hands and started jumping and squealing at my face. She was so happy that I decided to join her… We both jumped and jumped and jumped that I swear I heard the floor crack, I'm serious. "Okay Rima, let's stop."

"Sure."

"Let me introduce you to Ran, my guardian character."

"Pleasure to meet you Ran." And Rima started curtsying and Ran did the same thing. "It's my pleasure too."

Then Rima swept her hand to her side presenting her guardian character Kusu-kusu. "Now Ran, meet Kusu-kusu. Kusu-kusu, meet Ran." Then the two started shaking each other's hands and they started saying things we humans wouldn't understand.

We decided to join, so we talked and talked and talked and talked. I didn't know that it was past 10 already until I looked at the clock. "Oh, it's that late already?"

"Wow, time flies fast sometimes." She said as she flopped down at her bed.

"Disappointing that it isn't during classes."

"I know right?'

"Um Rima, did you take a bath already?"

"Yup, why?"

"Do you know where the bathroom is?" I was embarrassed.

"Oh, it's downstairs."

"Oh, thanks. Well I'll take a bath then I'll sleep after that. Good night Rima."

"Good night Amu!"

Then I head straight to the bathroom to take my nice bath.

In the bath

"Ran…" I said making the water bubble.

Yes? She was floating beside me.

"Thanks for coming…"

What do you mean?

"You helped me and Rima talk to each other without any awkward feelings between us and I thank you for that."

Oh, I didn't do anything. You did it yourself.

"What do you mean?"

I mean, I'm you, and you are me. We are one in the same. And even if I wasn't there, you would always take the first action and break the silence. This is who you truly are Amu, and that's what people like you for. Why Tadase likes you and Rima likes you as a best friend.

"Wow…. Thanks Ran…"

No problem…

And I had no problem sleeping tonight…

TADASE POV

I was holding cards, one which was a joker, one a queen, one a two of hearts, one a jack, one a king, one a two of spades and one an Ace of spades.

"This is complicated. Something was about to happen… it it's coming soon… very soon…" I said to myself.

Xerra: =o= review review (poker face) and sorry for making tadagay end the chapter...

Tadagay: Hey!
