Chapter 10: I Believe
TADAMU! ALL DA WAY!
Previously on My Version Of Shugo Chara Doki
Tadase gently lifted Amu's frail hand and kissed it. The guardians watched this and said nothing.
"I believe in you," Tadase stated, "My queen."
They arrived at the hostiptal and the Guradians followed the nurses and Amu to a hospital room. After 5 minutes the other 4, Utau, Kukai, Lulu, and Kairi came with the Limo and ran inside. The 8 of them found the room and surrounded Amu, the one they were all worried about. After an hour of waiting for Amu to wake up, each person slowly made their way out of the hospital room, not because they gave up but because they have tight scudeules. First Utau because of her pre-concert practice, then Kukai because he had soccer practice, Lulu because she had to return to her parents, and Kairi because his sister needed him. Then Yaya left because she had a recital coming up, Nagihiko had multiple sport's practices he needed to attend, and Rima couldn't be late home anymore. The only one who was a –hima at the moment was Tadase who sat there next to the hospital bed. Amu's mother and father were coming as fast as they could but they were stuck in traffic. Tadase watched her Queen lay there, still. Tadase noticed that all four of her Shugo Chara's were in their eggs. This worried Tadase so he didn't leave just yet.
"Is she okay?" Tadase heard someone ask but when he looked up he realized it was the Founding King.
"Tsukasa-niisan?" Tadase questioned.
"She is suffering too huh." The founding king stated.
"What do you mean?" Tadase asked conused
"Its rather complicated to tell the truth. When Blank met you guys at the Royal Energy a surge of dark energy from her Shugo Chara egg spread. Before she was just fine but when she made that speech she stated that she didn't believe in her Shugo Chara in a way. Or in other words, her Shugo Chara, Dede turned into an X-egg."
"How did you know she made that speech?" Tadase questioned.
"She told me. I seem to be the only one she opens up to. When I talked with her, she was emitting a dark aura so I checked back in the Royal Garden and found this."
Tsukasa pulled an Shugo Chara egg that was royal blue with two blue D's on it. Overtop of this design was an X.
"Is that Blank's"
"Yep, why didn't she tell you her name yet?"
"Do you know if Amu will be okay?" Tadase asked ignoring Tsukasa's comment, "I mean Shugo Chara wise."
"Amu's Shugo Chara will change based on Amu's thoughts and emotions. As long as Amu believes that she can be whoever she wants to be, she will be just fine."
Amu's eyes flinched a bit and she muttered something, "Don't make me!" she yelled which startled both Tadase and Tsukasa. "Don't make me do this. Let me be who I want to be!"
When Amu yelled this, Dia's eggs flew up above the hospital bed. Tadase and Tsukasa watched this because Amu's eyes were still closed. The egg hatched and Dia popped out.
"Hello!" Dia exclaimed, "Because Amu still believe's in her inner radiance, I am okay! But I'm not sure about Ran, Miki, and Su." She finished as she looked down at the Heart, the Spade, and the Clover.
"I… I BELIEVE!" Amu yelled in her sleep. Ran's and Su's Shugo Chara Egg flew up floating in the middle of the room. They both burst out of their egg. At the same time, Amu opened her eyes and slowly sat up.
"Are you okay?" Tadase asked but Amu payed no attention. She didn't stop looking at her last Shugo Chara egg, Miki, who still didn't come out of her egg. Tadase looked over at Miki's egg then at Amu's scared facial expression. Then it hit him. She didn't believe. She didn't that she could become her would be artistic self. Unlike Ran, Su, and Dia, Miki didn't move from her spot in the front of the bed.
"Tadase-" Amu started but then froze
"Amu-chan what's wrong?" Tadase questioned.
"Do you… do you believe that Miki will come back?" Amu continued
"As long as you believe she can come back so do I." Tadase stated calmly.
"Do you think I can make Blank like us or at least believe in us?" Amu asked in a weak voice
"It matters," Tadase started, "It matters what the word 'believe' means to you Amu-chan. To me believing means trusting yourself with other people to the point where you can trust yourself with them. Therefore I believe in you Amu-chan."
Amu's face turned bright red. "Th- thank you Tadase-kun"
"You need to believe." Tsukasa stated. Amu didn't notice him so she screamed when she turned and saw him.
"Ch- Chairman?" Amu questioned
"At the moment you do not believe you can become an artist." Chairman stated.
"I don't know anymore. When I looked at Blank, I mean she looked angry most of the time. I don't know who she is angry at but she is angry. I don't know whats wrong but I feel that Miki felt sorry for Dede. Like they connected or related to each other in a way. She didn't tell me what was wrong and I didn't know what she felt but now… now I will never know!"
"Amu…" Tadase began but Amu cut him off.
"I remember when Miki first hatched. She told me that if I didn't believe in her then she will disappear. I don't know what to think anymore."
"Amu-chan," Dia stated, "Is there a reason why you feel so conflicted?"
"I was never good at art," She stated calmly, "I don't know how I can become someone like the talented, creative Miki."
"Yes you were," Tadase stated, "Remember when you made the costume for Shining Zero? That was YOU not Miki. Remember the time we had to draw your favorite experience at the school? That was YOU not Miki. You are like Miki in many ways that you aren't thinking about. Always remember that."
When Tadase finished his statement Miki's egg flew up in the middle of the room. Both Tadase and Amu had a shocked expression on their faces. Miki's egg didn't change. It flew out of the room. Amu jumped out the bed but wasn't fully awake so right when she got up, she fell into Tadase's lap.
"Amu-chan? Amu-chan are you okay?" Tadase questioned but Amu didn't awnser at first. Then she slowly opened her eyes.
"Tadase-kun I don't know. Can I really become someone like Miki?
