Ikuto: Wow! Another chapter!

Amu: I guess you really weren't kidding when you said you were in the zone.

BD: Hahaha yeah, I specifically like this new chapter because there will be a lot of things that will happen.

Ikuto: So I'm guessing this will be a long chapter?

BD: I'm not really sure though…

Amu: That's true, there are a lot of things that can happen in a short while…

BD: She's right!

Ikuto: What's going to happen in this chapter then?

BD: I don't know, you should just read it ;)

Amu: Well, happy reading everyone!

"The Clash"

Chapter 10: The New Addition

Meanwhile in the other car…

"Why did you separate us from them nya!" Yoru shouted in Nikaidou's ear.

Nikkaidou rubbed his ear, the charas voice were too loud all of them were shouting why they had to be separated from their owners.

When they were packing their things, Nikkaidou asked for their charas, he said about wanting to get to know them. They all complied, not finding any reason to disagree.

All the charas woke up fromtheir slumber to realize that they were not with their owner. Except for Amu's new egg, since it still hasn't hatched it was still with her in her bag.

"Because they need to spend time together without you!" Nikkaidou said finally getting irritated. They were still following the van in front of them.

"Hey! We're hungry!" Daichi said, it was time for lunch.

"Hey let's call the kids, lets tell them to stop over at a fastfood." Yukari said, she noticed that it was time for lunch, they probably were hungry.

Nikkaidou said yes, Yukari was about to call them but there was a car that stopped in front of them. The van was still going, but they couldn't follow due to the car blocking them.

The car in front of them opened the door, and it released a lot of X eggs that were headed toward their direction. None of them could do anything.

Back with the Royals…

The driver noticed that the car of Nikkaidou and Yukari were no longer following them. He voiced out his thoughts which alarmed the teenagers.

"Igarashi (A/N: got this name from Kaichou wa maid sama, I couldn't thing any other name haha) please turn the car around, we have to look for them." Ikuto ordered, he then suddenly became serious.

"My sisters are in trouble, I can feel it." Another voice came, they were looking around searching for the source of the voice. Suddenly Amu's egg started floating in front of her. They were all staring at the chara egg.

Amu was looking at it in shock, after 1 week it finally said something, and it looked like it was about to hatch.

It finally hatched, out came her new chara, she had red hair as Amu which was tied back in a ponytail with an X to clip her hair in place the ends were slightly curled, her eyes were golden like Amu's. She was wearing a black tube top that had a lot of detailing, had black cuffs on both her arms she also had a black choker with a cross as its pendant. She was wearing short black leather shorts and had black boots. Finally she had pink ears, pink paws and a pink tail and had a bell tied around her tail.

"Hi there Amu-chan nya~ I am Natalia nya~ I am your desire to find your true love nya!" she went near Amu and started rubbing herself on her face, she was a lot like Yoru.

"Hi…" Amu was still processing the look of her new chara.

"So Amu, true love huh?" Ikuto whispered in her ear suggestively with a seductive voice. Amu was released from her thoughts and blushed deep red. Meanwhile Natalia, Amu's new chara was watching the exchange of her owner and the blue haired teen.

They then finally arrived where Nikkaidou and Yukari's car stopped.

They looked and saw a black car blocking it, but what scared them was the fact that the car their charas and their teachers were in were surrounded by X eggs trying to break the glass. Their car stopped a few meters so that whoever was in the car wouldn't notice them.

They all stepped out of the car trying to see how to get to their charas. But there was no use there were hundreds of X eggs, if any of them caught sight of the teens they will have a hard time especially without their charas.

"What are we going to do?!" Yaya was panicking her chara was in there.

"We don't have our charas!" Tadase said.

"Way to state the obvious Tadagay!" Utau said.

"There is no time to waste Amu-chan nya! My sisters are in danger!" all of them turned to look at the new chara. Amu just nodded and turned to look at the rest of the Royals.

"I'll handle this." they looked at her like she was crazy, sure she sved them once from a dark chara but that was only one, how can she defeat hundreds of X eggs.

"You can't! It's suicide!" Ikuto said while grabbing Amu's arms.

"I guess you don't know me, there is no way I will put myself first before anyone else." She released Ikuto's hold on her and turned while headed toward the black car and the x eggs.

"My heart unlock! Amulet Cat!" Amu and Natalia said at the same time, they transformed.

The Royals stared at Amu's transformation with wide eyes, Tadase even nosebleed, Kairi looked the other way to avoid staring meanwhile the other Kings were shamelessly looking at her up and down.

"She is hot." even Utau had to admit, she looked hot, the chara tranformation changed her outfit drastically, itshowed a lot of skin but didn't make her look skimpy.

Amu had her pink cat ears and her tail which was adorned with the bell. She was wearing a tube top that stopped two inches below her chest, it had a lot of intricate design. She wore leather shorts that covered a third of her thighs, her black high-heeled boots stopped three inches below her knees. Her choker was there, with a silver cross on it that has a blood red gem in the middle (A/N: The cross looks like the one Moka was wearing from Rosario x Vampire) there were black leather cuffs on her arms. It looked the same as what Natalia was wearing the only thing different was that instead of pink paws she had black fingerless gloves that had claws on it which was at least one foot long. (A/N: Just try to imagine it ehehe)

Amu also looked at her outfit and blushed a little. She continued walking all the way to were the car was, but her walk was slightly different, the way her hips moved from left to right with each step, her tail was moving making a small sound with the bell, but it was enough to make the X eggs turn to her and go towards her.

Everyone was staring at what Amu was doing they saw her smirk. Amu, the 'Cool and Spicy' girl never smirked liked that, she look more hot doing it. The Royals headed toward where the car was and let Nikkaidou, Yukari and the charas out.

"Amu-chan desu!" Suu and the rest of Amu's charas called, she turned her head slightly to look at them and she winked.

All of them were about to chara change but Amu spoke stopping them. The X eggs were infront of her, stopping and looking at her.

"This is my fight, don't you dare interrupt me." Her voice was authorative and deadly. They couldn't help but just listen to her.

"Useless…" the X eggs chanted with one voice, but it was loud, the dark aura spreading from them, was scaring the other charas, they had to hide behind their owners.

Amu just smirked at them, positioning herself to attack, she was crouched low on the ground.

"What useless? Me? You're wrong." Amu's voice was full of confidence the X eggs looked irritated at what she had said and their dark aura grew bigger.

They shot a blast of purple light towards Amu, but Amu reflexes were fast, like a cat's, she dodged easily by jumping into the air, she landed softly on the ground while doing a small flip.

They continuously shot the dark purple light, and Amu just avoided them continuously without breaking a sweat.

The Royals were looking at her in anticipation, in case she needed any help. Meanwhile Nikkaidou along with Yukari headed towards the black car, wanting to get information of the driver, and was surprised to see that no one was there. They checked and it was empty. Nikkaidou kicked the wheel of the car in frustration and just watched Amu.

Amu avoided another ray of the light and landed on the hood of the black car, she lightly turned her head to look at Nikkadou and Yukari who were behind her.

"Go to the Royals, you wouldn't want to be near me." She said in a serious tone. They complied at once.

"USELESS!" the X eggs shouted in unison.

Amu then started taunting the X eggs.

"Is that all you've got?" she was challenging them, this time a huge blast of the purple light was headed towards where Amu was, she avoided it and it ended up hitting the car, making it explode.

She landed just before the Royals facing them as another shot was directed towards them, it was bigger than the last one, the Royals couldn't move, even as the ray of lightmoved closer towards them, Amu turned and made a cross out of her claws.

"Dark shield!" Amu shouted a huge barrer enclosed the Royals and Amu, as the light hit the barrier, Amu was slowly pushed back her heels digging onto the ground.

The dark light faded little by little.

"Fine I've had enough playing." Amu said as she stood in front of the Royals her back facing them.

"Soothing Bell" Amu said in a calm manner, suddenly the bell on Amu's tail started making a small sound that resounded from Amu to the X eggs. It seemed to have taken effect because not only the X eggs fell asleep but the Royals and the rest of the charas were suddenly calm, it was like hearing the bell released all the tension within their bodies.

Seeing that she got all the eggs, Amu finally finished with her final move.

"Open heart!" Sudenly a light purple light surrounded the X eggs and they were purified. They all floated in the air, and made their way back to their owners.

Amu released her transformation, she stood there her back still facing the Royals, she slowly turned beside her was her new chara who was smiling brightly at the Royals and their charas

They were surprised that after only two moves, all the X eggs were purified, there were at least a hundred and she just purified it just like that.

"Hey is everyone okay?" Amu asked while tilting her head a little to the side, her face became emotionless once again, hiding her true character with her 'Cool and Spicy' façade.

"Yeah…" they all replied, still processing what had happened.

"Okay, can we go now? I'm sorta hungry…" she muttered.

They headed their separate ways, the Royals toward their van and Yukari and Nikkaidou in the other, the charas went with their owners in case something like that happened again. The charas were busy talking to the new chara and interrogating her.

A few moments later…

They were in some diner after they drove for about ten more minutes, they got out at once because they were starving, especially after their little encounter, their energy was drained. Entering the diner they were greeted with the smell of all kinds of food, beside the diner was a little convenience store.

They went up front and ordered their meal, they sat occupying two tables, they sat in the same arrangement much like the one when they were in the car. The Kings noticed that some guys were staring at the Queens, and for some reason they were pissed off, but they couldn't do anything about it because they were supposed to hate each other, and protecting them from something unwanted is not what people who hate each other do.

They were all quiet except for their charas who were talking about a lot of things. The Royals were just staring off into space, while the girls were either doing something on their phones or participate with their charas conversation.

Amu couldn't take how quiet they became after the little incident, they were just fine before, insulting each other and teasing one another, but they had an okay atmosphere at that time, now it was just awkward around them.

Amu turned to look at Nikkaidou who was absentmindedly listening to Yukari who kept on talking just like the charas.

"Nikkaidou sensei, I'll just head to the washroom." Amu said with her bored tone and emotionless face, she couldn't show them how affected she was with the current atmosphere. Amu stood up ready to go, but she heard other seats that were also being pulled back, she noticed that the other Queens stood up as well.

"We want to go to the restroom as well" Rima said quietly, her icy exterior still intact. Without another word they headed off to the direction of the bathroom, meanwhile the Kings were staring at their retreating figures.

In the restroom…

They went to different cubicles doing their own business, Yaya fixed her make up and Amu washed her face as she waited for the other two to come out. She realized that they wanted to talk to her for some reason, and waiting for them was eating her up. It was like watching a movie with mystery as its genre, she was waiting for something to happen and she never knows when it will happen until 'BAM' it just happened out of the blue.

They quietly got out of the cubicle, while Yaya finished her make up and Amu turned to face them, waiting for what they had to say.

"Thank you…" Utau said, her head facing another direction, not wanting to look at the pinkette while she was thanking her.

Now Amu was utterly confused, she didn't expect a 'thank you' from anyone especially the Queens, she expected them to insult her and they would start a World War III in the bathroom.

"Uhh… You're welcome?" Amu stated, but it sounded more like a question than a statement actually.

"The three of us wanted to thank you for saving our lives… Twice… we never did thank you for the last time." Utau explained, noticing that she was confused.

Amu turned to look at the other queens and they had said the same thing.

"Thanks Hinamori…" they said at the same time, they all looked at each other and laughed. After they had all sobered up they looked at each other. Hearing those words from the Queens made Amu's heart warm a little, slowly her façade vanished, and she smiled, a real smile.

"You're welcome." there was sincerity heard in her voice, the Queens actually looked surprised that she removed her façade, her smile looked wonderful, and it felt like that was the first time someone had ever smiled at them sincerely.

They all let their facades drop, Yaya's bitchy aura disappearing, Rima's unbreakable icy exterior slowly melted, and Utau's high strung attitude disappeared just like that. They were all smiling at each other.

"So friends?" Yaya asked. They all looked at each other and nodded.

"Yey! Yaya is happy that Yaya made friends!" Yaya exclaimed they all looked at her and sweatdropped they didn't think that once Yaya's bitchy attitude vanished she became a big baby. The nickname Ikuto gave really fitted her.

But they were all still happy, finally finishing their year long hatred for each other.

"But are we going to let them know?" Rima asked quietly pertaining to the other Royals, the Kings, even though her façade had disappeared the icy Rima was actually very shy and timid, unlike how she appeared to be.

"Now where's the fun in that?" Utau said while smirking, even without her high stung attitude, Utau was really confident with herself, with or without her façade, she just becomes irritating whenever she has her façade.

"That's true, we should still act the same whenever they are near us, especially Nikkaidou, I think he would celebrate if he found out were okay now." Amu said, her smile still hasn't faded, she was actually a good hearted person, she was kind and easily embarrassed.

"So even though we insult each other it means it's not true right? No matter how harsh?" Utau asked, she doesn't want to insult someone and actually hurt their feelings, even though in the past that's what they did to each other.

They all agreed, but said that they had to talk to each other later at night when they reached the rest house of Ikuto. They still wanted to get to know each other and have time to apologize for what they had said in the past.

But for some reason they felt like all the years of hate was useless, because they became friends in such a short amount of time.

They felt like they were going to be the best of friends, but none of them voiced that incase one was actually pretending.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Hey, are you girls alright you've been in there for fifteen minutes, the food has arrived already." Yukari said on the other side of the door, a hint of concern in her voice.

"Yeah!" they hollered back and they giggled due to the fact that they said it at the same time.

They all went out and returned their façade, but the atmosphere around them felt different, Yuakri stared at them, weirded out feeling that something was different.

They sat at their table, even the Kings noticed that there was something different about them, they stared at them looking at them like they did something horrible.

"What?!" Amu said in an annoyed tone, seeing that Ikuto was staring at her openly, she had her emotionless face but something's different, Ikuto thought to himself.

"Nothing…" he said and turned his head back to his food, they all started eating quietly.

They stood up from their seats after finishing their meals, but Amu remembered that she forgot something in her seat. The other girls said the same as well, everyone watched as they entered the diner together.

It was already five minutes since they entered the diner and they still haven't gone out. The Kings were about to get them remembering the guys who were staring at them.

But then they went out of the store, the atmosphere around them looked and felt a little dangerous, like if someone said something wrong, like a flick of a switch they would attack him and torture him.

"What took you so long?" Nikaidou asked, even though he feared their aura for some reason.

The Queens turned to look at him and gave him a slight glare, their eyes held mischievousness.

"Nothing…" they all uttered at the same time and entered the van at their respectful places. The Kings hot on their trail just followed silently wondering what was different with them.

Nikkaidou smiled finaly realizing what was different, suddenly he was skipping all the way back to his car.

"What the hell's wrong with you?" Yukari asked slightly annoyed with his happy atmosphere.

"Nothing~" he said in a sing song voice, but whimpered when Yukari hit the back of his head, he entered the car while pouting, muttering about how it hurts and her being about a kill joy.

Ikuto: so they're friends now? Isn't that a little to quick?

Amu: At least we're okay now!

BD: I don't think it's quick, it's already the tenth chapter, plus it wasn't like all of them are friends now, duh….

Ikuto: Yeah yeah, whatever.

Amu: Ikuto, don't be like Yukari, you're killing my mood.

Ikuto: Tsk!

BD: Amu don't mind him, it's because he doesn't have friends, that's why he's like that.

Ikuto: I have friends!

Amu: Yeah right…

BD: Well please R+R everyone!
