Aiko-chan…
Aiko-chan…Wake up.
Who is that?
…Look for it.
That lock that belongs solely to you…
Aiko slowly opened her eyes as she sat up from her bed.
"What happened to me?"
"You ran out of batteries," a voice said.
Aiko turned her head to see the voice's owner, "Anna!"
She was sitting down on a chair watching Aiko as she slept.
"You know, we can't care of you forever."
"There was no reason for you to take care of me in the first place."
"Trying to sound strong aren't we now?" she said standing up.
Aiko didn't respond.
Anna came close to the door, "Breakfast's already served. You can come down if you want, the others are here as well," she closed the door behind herself.
"They're there?"
Aiko's POV
I couldn't think right for the moment. My mind was still blurry for the lack of strength. What happened last night? That's right; I got a draw with that Marion girl, because of…Kanto. Why did he stop the fight? Was it because of her? Or…no, it couldn't possibly have been for…me. I seriously don't understand that guy. He acts like he doesn't care about anyone, however he stills helps me like that. Why would he? Could he possibly be getting a benefit out of it?
I sighed; I know that asking questions randomly at rapid fire won't get me any answers.
What if…nah that would never work, but if I could ask him, maybe…
"Aiko!!" the door slammed open as the three usual voices filled my head.
"What the heck was that for?!" I said standing up and started chasing them down the stairs.
"She's mad! She's mad!" they chanted.
I ran towards the kitchen still in my sleeping clothes catching Mizu and almost Yuko as I opened the dinning room door.
"You're awake," Yoh called to me.
"Yeah, thanks to this little trouble makers," I said sarcastically to him.
"Well, I think you should at least dress or something," Anna came.
I just giggled and left Mizu and went upstairs to change into some simply clothes. I came down fresh after a quick shower. I had a purple shirt and a light lavender skirt on with a white belt dangling on my left side. I put some black snickers too, and put my hair in two low ponytails.
"So a few days more, right?" I said arriving at the breakfast.
"Yeah," he answered me.
"What ya mean 'yeah'? Aren't you, I don't know, nerves or something?"
"Not really. I don't like worrying about things that haven't happened yet."
"I just can't believe your carefree character."
"Good morning, Aiko-san," Tamao said giving me a plate.
"Morning Tamao-chan."
"You're such a little scared cat thought," I continued.
"Look whose talking there," Horo Horo called, "Gal who fainted last night after her battle."
"Oh, shut up!"
"Either ways, who was that dude anyways. The one that was with your opponent," I heard Manta ask.
"One of her friends, I guess," I answered drinking a little more of my orange juice.
"That was…" Mizu got smacked by Lithia.
"Rutela Ka…" Yuko, smacked by Lithia.
"Absolutely nobody, right guys?" she asked as the other two sweat dropped.
"Yoh shouldn't you be leaving already?" Anna reminded him.
"What?! Today too? Can't I have some sort of rest or something?" he asked peacefully.
"No way, your fight is in less than three days," she answered.
"I feel bad for you," I told him.
"I'm leaving then," he said a few minutes after he finished getting ready for his morning run with Manta.
Afterwards both of them left. I stretched my arms high above my head, "Okay then, I think I'll be leaving soon as well."
"Where to?" Tamao asked.
"Don't know, maybe to go buy the groceries for tonight's dinner."
"You sure?" Anna asked me, "Yoh can do that, after all he is training."
"Yeah, feel like doing something this morning," I added putting my sandals on, "Be back later."
"See you," Anna came.
"Take care," Tamao said.
I walked out the inn and into the street. Couldn't believe I had just said I wanted to do something at these hours of the morning.
"So what are we going to buy?" Lithia asked me.
"Don't really know yet."
"Rock. Paper. Scissors," I heard Mizu's and Yuko's voice call as Mizu laughed and Yuko frowned.
"Aiko, have you called Ikuto yet?" she asked.
"Ikuto? Why would I call him?"
"Well to ask him about this Celestial Lock that Marion said we had."
Celestial Lock, what could that thing be? She kept repeating that we had that thing.
"Nee, Aiko can we go to the bakery store after buying the groceries?" Mizu asked me.
I just nodded.
Nobody's POV
Meanwhile on the grass near a river laid Hao looking up into the blue sky with Opacho and Luchist by his sides. Suddenly footsteps were heard from nearby as Kanto approached them.
"Did you call for me?" he said patiently.
"Yes," Hao answered sitting up, "Seems you interrupted last night's fight, didn't you?"
"I only spared Marion from a sure defeat."
"Sure defeat you say? Well, as far as I'm concerned that girl has only half her powers without the Celestial Lock."
"What do you mean?" Kanto asked wanting to know more.
"The three transformations she does are, let's say 'incompletely'."
"Without it?"
"If she were to obtain the lock her powers would power up from their current state. It would then be a problem for Marion since her powers as a Shugo Chara wielder only hold for a little strength, but hers. They might even surpass those you posses."
"Surpass my powers? Not really sure about that one," he said starting to walk away.
"Okay then just remember that the Celestial Lock has similar powers to those of the Humpty Lock. Which means that that key you posses bares similar powers to the Dumpty Key."
Kanto simply turned away and started walking.
"You know," he finalized, "You seem to have some sort of interest in that girl. Am I right?"
"Not really," he responded leaving.
"Hao-sama are you sure of letting him vagabond like that?" Opacho asked.
"That kid sure is getting rebellious since he met Tsukiyomi-san," Luchist called.
"He won't rebel against me. He knows he can't with the powers he posses right now. He's caged to this world's greed and adult games. He's just a lone wolf."
Meanwhile with Aiko she stretched her arms above her head while carrying the bags of groceries. Mizu was carrying a mini cupcake that Aiko bought for each of the three.
"I wonder what else will happen in the second rounds of the fight."
"You're thinking too much ahead again!" Mizu cheered.
"Take it easy, we still need to wait for the next instructions of the Patch tribe," Lithia said.
"You miss them don't you?" Yuko said seeing passed the question and getting confused looks from Lithia and Mizu.
"Yeah, both of them must be having a pretty hard time dealing with Easter's orders," she continued, "But I sure they can handle that as much as I can with my problems."
The three grew with big smiles.
Suddenly a resonating sound was heard from some kind of far away instrument. Dawn quickly began eating the sunlight.
"Do you guys hear that?" Aiko said out loud.
"It sounds like some kind of instrument," Lithia said.
Aiko's POV
It's very faint but I can still hear it. It's such a gentle sound and so pure, full of sorrow. I can't be mistaken that sound…it's the sound only one instrument can make.
I ran after the sound following it.
"Aiko, where are you going?" Mizu called following me with the others.
I can't be mistaken. I've heard the same sound my whole my life. It has to be…it has to.
I arrived at the park as night stroke the place and I saw it.
Someone was playing that.
…A violin.
I couldn't see who it was. I took a step closer to see the face and saw him.
"Kanto…" I whispered.
This song I know it, Ikuto used to play it too, when I cried. (A/N: Check this out I'm using the song 'Lullabye for a Stormy Night' by Vienna Teng. It's in piano but I would love to see how it would some in violin. I also know that I used the Shugo Chara idea of a violin player but I just love the idea.)
For you know, once even I was a
Little child, and I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry of my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears
And give a kiss goodnight
Well now I am grown
And these years have shown
The rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'Til your frightened eyes do close
Suddenly I heard the violin stop. I opened my eyes and saw Kanto looking at me.
"Why are you here?"
"I-I Just heard that song and…came," I said whispering the last part.
"And you got so excited that you started singing it," Sabath said sarcastically.
"Oh, shut up!" I called.
Then I saw him as he began to put the violin away.
"You're leaving already. Wouldn't you finish that piece, please?"
"No."
"Please I knew that song from long ago. It reminds me of what I left behind and what's up to come that I'm…"
That's right. I do feel that way about this whole fight. From everything that has happened to us threw the years.
"You're what…" he asked.
"I'm afraid of what might happen…to me, to my friends, to my dear family."
"And you still accepted this hideous task Easter gave you?"
"Even if it's just a little that I can help them…I will, for them."
"Still think it's a stupid decision," he started walking away.
"What about you?" I asked, "You play the violin like Ikuto. You must too have a past like everyone else."
I saw him stop almost immediately.
"You play so gently that I felt completely moved, just like when he played it back then."
"If that was how you felt then that wasn't because of how I played."
"What do you mean?"
"A lone wolf is better of having no one near him."
He started walking away and this time I couldn't stop him. That violin playing and for him to know that song, it's very weird…but somehow nice.
"Aiko, we should head back already," Yuko called.
"Yeah."
Everything will be fine in the morning, won't it?
Nobody's POV
Meanwhile at the camp Marion was standing outside Kanto's tent waiting for him. She stood there looking down until she heard faint footsteps near and turned to find Kanto approaching her.
"Kanto…where were you at?" she asked coming towards him.
"Out," he answered.
"Hao-sama asked Mari to call for you. He said something of revealing her the truth."
His eyes immediately shut opened, "When did he tell you that?"
"A while ago now," she answered.
He entered the tent leaving the violin inside and walked over to where Hao was.
"What do you mean by 'the truth'?"
"Ah, you're back," he said calmly while watching as a bonfire started from nowhere in front of the sticks they had gathered.
"Cut the acting. What's the truth?"
"That girl soon will get the lock in her hands. And if you haven't notice yet another birth will have place here."
"What do you mean?"
"It's only a matter of time now after Yoh's fight against Tao Ren, it will surely happen."
"And what do you want me for?"
"She still knows nothing about what happened to you in your past. Neither does she know about the hidden powers of the legendary Celestial Lock. Tsukiyomi Aiko is completely unaware of your current status."
"And I must hear this because?"
"Get closer to her…"
"What?!"
"Take the lock before she uncovers its powers and secrets. If you were to get that lock and open it with your key, wouldn't it be more likely for that embryo you talk about to appear? Of course I have no interest in such thing for I will win the Shaman Tournament."
"Even if I open the lock it won't do any good to find the embryo."
"But you want to, don't you…"
Kanto looked down to his side.
"That girl is your door out of your own living hell."
Kanto said nothing he just left to his tent.
"He won't do it. His too compassionate to others," Luchist said.
"But Kanto is really a very lost child isn't he?" Opacho said out loud.
"The question is will he do such a thing to this little child?"
So how was it?
Didn't think of anything better I just wanted to get Ren's fight over with
