Hey! Finally got this up! :) I'm having a busy weekend! My bro's bday friday, lasik surgery saturday, and my mum's bday on v-day! WOO! Anyway, hope you like this chapter! I really enjoy getting your reviews!
"What are you guys looking at?" Amu asked as she got up. she finally looked down at herself and gasped.
She wore a dark blue pirate best with the ties in the front and dark blue cloth pants tucked into black knee high boots. Over the outfit was a dark blue short sleeve trench coat which reached down to her ankles. She wore matching biker gloves, her pink hair was down and mildly wild, and she had a cross attached between her breasts. Her cat ears and tail were pink with black tips and her eyes were cat like and amber.
"EH?!" Amu yelped as she grabbed her head.
"~Nya?! I transformed with you?!" Yoru exclaimed in Amu's head.
"Oh cool and I got a picture of it!" Yaya announced proudly.
"It seems that the lock reacted to the cat chara." Izio deducted as he pushed up his glasses. Rima looked over at Nagihiko who remained unconscious.
"Nagihiko didn't wake up." she said as she pointed at the body on the ground.
"Oh my god! Utau and Kukai are here!" Amu squealed as she hugged them both. It seems Rima went unnoticed and she crossed her arms.
"Amu." Tadase sounded from behind her. She turned to see Tadase and Ikuto standing next to each other. Amu blushed as she was about to back away when Dawn spoke up.
"Hey, this guy is still unconscious. This means that the ring is still active." She said as she poked Nagihiko's body. Rima slapped her hand away and glared.
"Look! Amu's eggs are hatching!" Tadase yelled out. The group looked up to see the eggs in the sky burst open to reveal something like x-characters but they were red and a dark aura surrounded them.
"Our Queen is gone." The one with a ponytail on the side of her head spoke up. The one with a wand and a top hat said, "We don't need her."
"Yeah. We can destroy the world ourselves." This on e had a mixing spoon and the last one had a tear painted under the eye.
"Let's go." She said. They all gave wicked smiles and shot opposite directions.
"Great. Now we have to look for them." Utau stated with irritation.
"We can split up and try to catch them." Tadase suggested.
"Wait." Izio said as he walked over to Amu. The group watched as he bent down to one knee to look up at her. Dawn's eye twitched in jealously and Tadase and Ikuto exchanged looks.
"May I see you hand?" Izio asked Amu with his charm oozing out. Amu blushed as she rose her hand to his face. Izio gently grabbed it to examine the ring. Amu leaned in to take a look also. Dawn crossed her arms and looked away. Tadase started to glare. Utau jumped on Ikuto and said, "Now, I can have you all to myself." Kukai grabbed Utau's jacket collar and pulled her away. "That's enough. You're creeping people out." He said.
Izio tried to touch the ring but it zapped him. He felt that it was as powerful as ever but it still needed a powerful host to expand its power. "Just as I thought." Izio got up and winked at Amu. Amu blushed as he looked towards the group.
"The ring still cannot be taken off. It's still attached to Amu and her eggs. This transformation is suppressing the ring but that's it." He said.
"So, it sounds like we have to take the ring off when Amu is in her evil state?" Tadase asked.
"Seems so." Izio looked back at Amu. "Listen, I know this may seem farfetched but I think it would help us get the ring off if you knew exactly what you wanted. The ring is attracted to your confusion. You are confused on who you want to be and what you want in life, are you not?" Amu looked down and sighed. Her feelings felt chaotic and it hurt to try to sort them out. She just couldn't do it.
"Alright. If I got out of this transformation with Yoru then I'll revert back to being evil?" Izio nodded and Tadase cut in.
"Amu, you can't. What if we don't get a hold of the ring before it totally sucks the life out of you? I can't bear to see that." He pleaded. Amu gave him a soft smile.
"This is the only way that you guys can get a chance to get the ring off. I don't want to destroy the world let alone let my guardian chara destroy it." Amu's tail swung side to side.
"How are we going to get your eggs before they do anything bad?" Kukai asked. Amu shrugged knowingly.
"I'll just command them to come. They can't disobey me. I'm more powerful than them." Amu smirked. Obviously some evil smarts were left in her. Ikuto suddenly came from behind her and grabbed her tail. Amu spun around and ended up being really close to him. Her face became red and her hear pounded.
"Holy crap! How did he get over there?" Dawn whispered. Rima shrugged and walked away from her.
"I like this transformation. It looks good." Ikuto said as he petted her ears.
"Uh..um. Okay." Amu said pathetically. Ikuto chuckled.
"Don't forget about me." He said playing with her hair. He kissed a few strands and let them fall. Amu's eyes were wide as she watched him pull away from her. She quivered from his presence. Amu pulled herself together and nodded to herself. She needed to find a high place. She sped towards a building and leapt up from the ground and ended up all the way on the roof. Amu stood looking up with the breeze blowing slightly.
"Amu?" Yoru said getting her attention.
"Yes?" Amu answered as she played with her tail.
"Ikuto really does love you-" he said. Amu smiled. "-And I want to transform again in the future!"
"Thank you, Yoru. I think I love him too." Amu whispered into the wind."..Don't tell him that!" Her body started glowing white as Yoru separated from her. Now, Amu was back in her original evil state. She stared at Yoru and narrowed her eyes.
"Disgusting." She said with venom laced in each letter. Yoru's ears drooped as he watched her shoot up into the air. He then wandered back to Ikuto's shoulder.
"Come to me! How dare you try to take matter within your own hands!" Amu called out angrily. her characters stopped immediately as they were encased in their eggs. They happily shot towards her. The group watched as her eggs shot right into her body. The darkness shot out and encased her in her own egg. Dark clouds started to set in the early dawn sky making it seem like time had stopped.
"Oh no…" Tadase muttered. Ikuto narrowed his eyes as the wind started to pick up.
"Guys! Remember what happened the last time all four of her eggs fused with her?" Yaya piped up. The guardians knew exactly how powerful she was but what was going to happen now that she was ultra evil and getting power from an external source? The group stood watching as the gigantic dark egg started to crack slowly right down the middle. Dark fumes started to ooze out the opening. Then the egg burst open revealing Amu in her new form. This form had chaotic colors. It was all four of her eggs mashed together in spastic patterns.
Her pink hair was up in many straight pony tails. She wore one whole leotard suit with the legs and arms attached. The pattern had squares, circles, zigzags, and what not with each space filled in with either dark red, navy blue, golden rod yellow, or forest green. She wore white gloves ending in froofy lace. On her feet were like the gloves. They looked like huge elf shoes. A clown's smile was painted messily on Amu's mouth and face. She was panting now as she smiled wickedly. Her eyes were almost black and psychotic. They had dark circles around them. As she spoke, her voice sounded really raspy and strained.
"Everyone..EVERYONE will feel my pain and bow down to me!! The Joker!" Amu screamed.
"This is getting out of control!" Dawn yelled over the roaring wind. Tekameito spoke to her in her head and Dawn rolled her eyes. Ikuto walked up to her and grabbed her shirt roughly.
"This is all your fault. Why don't you think!" Ikuto yelled. He only snapped a little, annoyed by the annoyance that stood in front of him. Someone grabbed his shoulders and pulled him in.
"This isn't the time. We have to figure out how to get that ring off." Izio said. Tadase walked in front of him.
"Ikuto; we need to save Amu." He pleaded. "Ugh!" Utau screamed out as she clutched her chest.
"This pain. This confusion and sadness." She choked out. Amu had released a dark wave sending out signals and forcing all things painful into people's hearts. Kukai tending to Utau as Yaya dropped her camera and she fell to the ground crying. "It hurts!" She squealed. Dawn came up behind Tadase.
"I know you're pissed but listen. I know what will distract her. Her weakness is-" Dawn was cut off as Nagihiko tried to slice at her and Tadase with his sword from behind. Dawn grabbed Tadase and in a second jumped out of the way. Nagihiko had no pupils and his presence was cold. Apparently, Amu started to raise her army.
Nagihiko slowly got closer to Ikuto and Izio. He swung at them missing Ikuto because he jumped out of the way. Izio tried to dodge but tripped backwards as the tip of the sword sliced down his arm. He fell back onto the ground holding his arm which was bleeding profusely. he looked up as Nagihiko was taking another shot at him. Izio saw his death until Dawn jumped in front of the attack. She had stopped the blade between her hands. She then twisted the sword and gave a high kick which Nagihiko jumped back from sliding his sword free.
"Ikuto!" She yelled not taking her eyes off Nagihiko. "Her weakness is you! I've sensed it from the start but I wasn't sure. You can get that ring off!"
Ikuto stood still, thinking. He knew it, too. He also knew what to do. But, can he make it?
"Ikuto!" Tadase grabbed his attention. Ikuto looked behind Tadase seeing that Yaya and Utau were trying to destroy Kukai.
"Amu doesn't know it but she is in love with you. She only treats me as a friend and cannot go any further than that. You win. Only you can get that ring off. Please bring her back." Tadase said giving a small smile. He turned around and headed towards Kukai to give aid. Yoru popped out and smiled. "Let's do it ~nya!"
Ikuto smiled at him. "Like old times." He said as they transformed.
So, what did Ikuto mean "like old times"? Will he be able to get the ring off in time? Can Amu figure our her feelings? Or will the world succumb to her pain? Will there be one more chapter or two? Guess we will both find out soon, now won't we! Thank you!
