Chapter 9- A Sleepover?

Amu's POV

"A sleepover?" I looked at Sakura.

"Yeah! I thought all of us could hang out and have a huge sleepover! Even with Yaya-chan, Rikka-chan, and Hikaru-kun!" Sakura said with clear happiness radiating from her.

"She has such radiance!" Dia said happily. "It makes me so happy that she's really happy!"

I thought for a minute. Then a thought came in my head. "Wait, do you mean even with Tadase-kun, Kukai, and Nagihiko too?"

Sakura nodded.

I blushed at the thought of having Tadase-kun sleeping in the same house… scratch that… I mean same mansion as me! 'Even if we sleep in different rooms in different floors, in opposite ends of the house makes me embarrassed!' I thought.

"Is it okay with Eriol?" I asked to get the thought out of my mind.

Sakura nodded again. (She nods a lot here doesn't she? -___-')

I sighed.

"What are you sighing about, Amu-chan?" I turned to see Nagihiko and Tadase-kun walking towards us.

"Well, Sakura wants all of us to sleepover tonight." I explained. "Since tomorrow's Sunday, we can sleepover tonight. At least Sakura wants all of us to come over." I turned to the excited Sakura. Her smile was so bright, I was sure I would go blind sooner or later.

"I think that's a good idea." I looked at Nagihiko. "It would be a great way to become better friends and learn more about each other."

"You mean like your families and stuff?" I asked.

He smiled. "Yeah!"

I smiled. "Then you can tell me more about Nadeshiko and yourself!" Suddenly Nagihiko's smile faded and he twitched but I didn't notice. I was still talking stuff about Nadeshiko and how great she was. Sakura listen to me and Tadase-kun, for some reason, looked worryingly at Nagihiko who was muttering stuff that I couldn't hear.

"I'll tell Kukai and Rima about the sleepover, okay!" I cried as I ran off to look for Kukai and Rima. "Tell the others that we'll go!" I cried to Sakura.

Regular POV

Nagihiko, Sakura, and Tadase smiled as Amu ran off but as soon as Amu left, Nagihiko broke down into panic stage.

"What do I do!!!???" He cried. Sakura turned to stare at Nagihiko with a confused expression while Tadase smiled sadly.

"I should never have said that!!! Now Amu-chan might find out!!! It's too early for her to find out!!"

"But didn't you keep it a secret, even in 4th grade?" (Note- The shugo chara series started when the guardians were 4th grade!) Tadase asked.

"That was Nadeshiko!!! And it will shock Amu-chan and she'll be upset because she'll think that I don't trust her enough!!" Nagihiko cried.

"… Um… what are you guy's talking about?" Sakura asked.

Nagihiko and Tadase turned to Sakura.

"…I forgot. Sakura-chan was with us…" Nagihiko muttered quietly.

Sakura blinked, not hearing his comment.

Nagihiko smiled. "It's nothing Sakura-chan!"

"… Okay…" Sakura looked uncertain but decided to let it go.

'This is going to be bad. I hope Amu-chan doesn't ask me anything.' Nagihiko thought.

After School

Amu's POV

I rushed home, excited to sleepover Sakura's house… er, I mean mansion.

"Amu-chan?" I was busy packing my stuff when mama came in.

"Nani mama?" I asked, not looking up. Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia were also busy packing but as soon as mama came in, they stopped.

"Are you going somewhere?" she asked.

"Yeah! I'm sleeping over at a friend's house!" I replied.

"Oh! Is it Nadeshiko?"

"No, Nadeshiko is still studying aboard but her twin, Nagihiko is going to join us." Then I explained who was coming.

"Oh. So the house is a mansion, owned by a friend who came from England and he lives with 3 of his friends, two girls from Tomeda and one boy from Hong Kong. And all your guardian friends are also going to sleepover with the new guardians at the Seiyo Elementary?"

"…Yup…" I replied, surprised that she was able to summarize everything in one breath.

"…How many boys are going to be there?" And as if on cue, my dad came bursting in my room.

"BOYS!!!!!!!!??????? NO!!!! AMU-CHAN CANNOT GO!!!!!!!" He cried.

"Relax, there's more girls than boys. And besides, they're my friends." I replied with my cool character.

"B-b-but!" He cried.

"No buts papa!" Mama said while pulling papa by the arm. She smiled at me and said, "Have fun, Amu-chan!"

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Papa cried as he was being pulled away.

I sighed, glad that Ami wasn't here right now or else I would have to make some ridiculous story so she wouldn't come and later, I would be seeing things. Like the time I slept over at Nadeshiko's house.

"I can't wait until we get there!" Ran cried happily.

"I wonder if the second floor has paintings from England! And I heard from Sun that they have a piano and many other instruments!" Miki said.

"And I heard they have a really nice kitchen! And their house is so clean!" Suu said.

"There's also many things that have so much radiance there! Even Sakura-chan's cards! And I can't wait to see Kero-chan and Suppi-chan again!" Dia said calmly, even though I knew she was bursting with excitement in the inside.

I smiled at their excitement. Heck, I was excited too! A sleepover at a place that's full of magical stuff!

I packed up everything and stretched. I had a small that hung on my shoulders and a small carry-on bag. (Like a purse. Can't really explain it) I looked at the mirror in my room and sighed.

"What should I wear?" I asked Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia. Miki then flew up to me and grinned.

"I know just what you should wear!" She cried. "Drew, Draw, Drawn!"

I smiled at what I was wearing. (Sorry. Don't want to explain it. Let you imagination run wild! But not too wild! It's something like what Miki made her when she went to the concert with Nadeshiko and Yaya.)

"Thanks, Miki!" I smiled.

I ran downstairs with my bags and stopped before I tripped over this thing that was "accidently" left on the floor. I looked past it and sweat dropped. Right in front of me was this complicated looking trap. Then I heard my papa muttering in the other room. I tiptoed past the trap and peeked.

"…Yes. Amu-chan will trip on the rock, making her fall into my trap and that way, she'll never be able to go to that sleepover with all those boys!" He muttered happily.

I sweat dropped, thinking, 'He is way overprotective.' and cleared my voice loudly. "Ahem!"

Papa turned with a panicked expression on his face. I frowned at him. Then tears started to appear in his eyes and he cried, "PLEASE AMU-CHAN!!!!!! DON'T GO!!!!!!!!"

I sweat dropped again and then mama came in the room. "Papa, just let Amu-chan go. She said that her friends would be there too."

He turned to mama with tears still in his eyes. "BUT!"

"No buts!" Mama said and turned to me. "Here, give these to your friends. I made these before you came home for some of my friends but you can give them to your friends." She held out a covered basket. I took it and looked inside. My eyes widen and I smiled. I looked at mama and cried, "Thanks, mama!"

I turned and walked to the door and started to put on my shoes. I turned and cried, "Bye mama, papa!"

"Bye-bye Amu-chan!" I heard mama yelling happily while my papa yelled, "NOOOO!!!!!!!!! AMU-CHAN!!!!!!"

I sweat dropped and left to Sakura's place, since it was just a 20 minute walk.

20 minutes later

I ran and smiled as soon as I saw the others. Tadase-kun, Rima, Kukai, Nagihiko, Yaya, Rikka, and Hikaru-kun were there. I panted slightly as I reached them. I looked up and smiled, "Sorry I'm late!"

"No problem, Amu-chan." I blushed slightly and smiled at Tadase-kun. Then I turned to Yaya, Rikka, and Hikaru-kun.

"I'm glad you guys could make it!" I said.

"No problem!" Yaya and Pepe cried.

"I'm was so excited when you told me that I rushed and was the first one here, Amu-sempai!" Rikka cried. I sweat dropped, then turned to Hikaru-kun.

"I'm happy you could make it Hikaru-kun!" He just nodded and turned to the mansion.

"How do we get inside?" He asked.

"Don't you just press the button?" I asked, pointing to the button.

"We tried that Amu." I turned to Rima, confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"What she means is that there's something blocking the button, Hinamori." Kukai explained.

"But how's that possible?" I asked, getting more and more confused.

"That's what we want to know." Nagihiko said. "And we tried to ask somebody to try and press the button and he looked at us as if we were freaks."

"Well, asking somebody to do that is strange." I said.

"Yeah, I know but when he tried to press the button and hit the thing that is blocking it, his eyes turned blank for a second and when he came back, he just walked away, as if he just lost his memory of what we asked or something like that." Nagihiko explained.

I stared while thinking, 'How is that even possible?'

I turned and cautiously touched the button but when I was just one inch away from it, my finger touched some invisible barrier. I blinked and tried to touch it again but with no success.

"Strange." I place both of my hands on the barrier and that's when I felt the barrier shaking. I jumped back in surprise.

"WHAT THE…?!!" I yelled in disbelief.

"What?" I turned to Tadase-kun and the others.

"I felt that stranger barrier shaking!!!" I nearly shouted.

Everybody blinked and one minute later, they rushed to try and get the feeling. The barrier was shaking again when I saw somebody walking, no scratch that, flying out of the house.

I blinked, looking at the woman. People who walked past us didn't even cry out in surprise at the scene. Then again, there was nobody here except us!

The woman who came out had dark reddish brown hair and an outfit that looked like a robe that had the colors of pink, dark pink, white and black. There was also a light red gem near the bottom of the robe. The top of her robe also had a black top. She had black gloves (or whatever it's called) that was long. Her hair was even in small buns with the rest of her hair down that almost reached her waist. And what was more freaky was that she had wings! Big huge wings that looked like butterfly wings with the colors of black and pink.

I stared, my eyes huge and as she neared us, that was when I noticed that she seemed a bit exhausted and she had a few minor wounds such as bruises and cuts. She smiled as soon as she reached us and touched the barrier that separated us and made it bigger.

The barrier then swallowed all of us up. Everybody was shocked, like me. The woman then broke into a grin and cried, "WAII!!!!!" The woman suddenly hugged me and rubbed my cheek with hers as if she was really happy.

"AHHH!" I cried.

"Yay! Amu-chan and the others came early!" She cried.

"Umm… Who are you?" Tadase-kun asked politely since I was still in shock of the fact that some strange lady with wings was hugging me.

"Watashi wa Ruby Moon!" She said with happiness, while still hugging me. ("Watashi wa" means "I am" or "I'm")

"What a strange name." Hikaru-kun said.

"Well, I am a guardian! Anyway, you better watch your step and wait here while I get Kero-chan and Suppi! And you can call me Ruby!" Ruby said happily.

Then Ruby flew away, leaving us totally confused with the words she had just said. Then she flew back, bring Kero-chan and Su… WAIT!!!!! THAT'S NOT KERO-CHAN AND SUPPI!!!!! WHO THE HECK ARE THEY????!!!!

"HEY GUYS!!!" Ruby flew to us smiling.

All of us were still looking at the golden and black beasts. They both looked at us and the golden one said, "Hey!" The black one just nodded at us.

"Um… Do we know you two?" Nagihiko asked.

Then they both fell down, anime style, while Ruby was laughing out loud.

"Huh?" Was what we all said.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" She was still laughing and I was getting really pissed.

"Well, who are they?" I repeated Nagihiko's question.

"Oh come on!!! You guys are just like Sakura and Tomoyo!!! Why can't you recognize me? It's me, Cerberus!" The golden one cried while the black one was still on his fallen anime style form.

"…Who?" Rima asked.

"IT'S… ptth… KERO-CHAN AND… hahaha… SUPPI!!!" Ruby cried. "That's their true form!!!"

We all stared at Kero-chan and Suppi. I was still in shock but came back when I felt the ground shaking.

"WAHH!!!! YAYA'S SCARED!!!" Yaya cried.

"Amu-chan, Rima-chan, and Yaya-chan, go on top of Kero-chan." Ruby said, returning to her serious expression.

"But I want to go with you!" Yaya cried.

"Okay, then Rikka-chan, go on Kero-chan." Ruby said.

"Wait, how do you know my name?" Rikka asked.

"That's a SE-C-RE-T!" Ruby said, smiled mysteriously.

"Then Tadase-kun, Nagihiko-kun, and Kukai-kun, go on Suppi-chan!" Ruby said.

"Okay." They all said.

"And Hikaru-kun and Yaya-chan goes with me!" Ruby said happily.

Nakuru's POV (Ruby)

"Okay." Hikaru-kun said blankly. I frowned.

"You should smile more Hikaru-kun." I said softly so only he could hear.

He turned to me with wide eyes.

I ignored him and said, "Okay then! Yaya-chan, stand here! Hikaru-kun can just stay there."

"Okay!" Yaya-chan stood to where I pointed. Then I whispered something and a dark pink visible aura surrounded Yaya-chan and Hikaru-kun, making them float.

"What the…?" Amu-chan stared and I smiled.

"Okay, let's go!!" I cried. Then Amu-chan, Rima-chan, and Rikka-chan nodded and got on Kero-chan while Tadase-kun, Nagihiko-kun, and Kukai-kun got on Suppi. Then Kero-chan and Suppi jumped, and then they were flying.

Yaya-chan looked at the ground, smiling with excitement while Hikaru-kun smiled slightly.

We all flew towards the house.

"Wait! Aren't people going to see us?" Amu-chan cried.

"Nope!" I smiled. "Eriol-sama, Sakura-chan, Tomoyo-chan, and Li-kun made a barrier so that would just see a normal house and if they try to press the button, then people would lose forget what they were trying to do and just leave."

"Oh. So that's why that person left without saying anything." Nagihiko-kun said silently.

"Yeah!" Ruby grinned.

"This is going to be one heck of a sleepover." Amu-chan said.

Another tremor was felt in the barrier

"AHHHHH!!!!!!" Everybody but me, Suppi, and Kero screamed.

I grinned.

Kura: Well! That's the end of the chapter!

Amu: O-o What's with all the earthquakes that are only happening in the barrier?!

Kura: That's a SE-C-RE-T!

Amu: No fair!

Yaya: I'm scared!

Amu: I hate this!

Kura: Oh light up! You and Tadase might have a lovey-dovey moment in the sleepover!

Amu: *blushes*

Tadase: Hi! Sorry I'm late. How did the chapter go?

Amu: *looks at Tadase and blushes even more*

Tadase: Huh? What's wrong Amu-chan?

Amu: NOTHING!!!!

Tadase: O-O Okay…

Kura: Hehehehehehehehehehehe
