Chapter 14

A New Beginning to a New Band!

Amu's POV

While still in my hospital room; Emu, Nozumi, and I was still trying to create a song and a name! Luna had to leave to get ready for our very first concert and all the advise she gave was, "They say that three heads are better than one". She gave us a little giggle and then left. Sometimes I wonder what she's thinking in her head. Currently, everyone who barged into see if I was okay was still here, but something tells me there just here to kill time. Even though I'm injured, Luna brought me my laptop to finish my work that I left off. I still have to finish Ikuto's and Utau's transformation sheets, buy their gadgets and uniforms and etc, and their IDs. Then she expects a name and a song for our concert next week! What a headache. But I feel like I'm forgetting something.

"Hey Amu! Let's name our group...Toxic Bloom. It's fresh, new, and cool -n- SPICY!" said Nozumi

I turned my gaze to Nozumi who had this irresistible eyes that you just can't say 'no' to. I reached out to pat her head and gave her one of my warm smiles. Her eyes sparkled like stars and whole room turned in to space. It was like it was just Nozumi and me for a second, but I was the one who broke the bond.

"No." I bluntly said

When I said 'no', it was like Nozumi shattered into small pieces of glass. It was like her whole world has crumbled. I didn't pay attention to it though, because she'll just pop up again and suggest another name though.

"Why don't you like it, Amu? I like it. It was like our song will give off some kind of toxic and because of that people want to see more about us. Or it's like we're a group of a famous flower." explained Emu

I turned my attention to her to show that I was paying attention to her explanation. I sighed before, I too, began my explanation.

"It's simple. If you think about the definition, toxic it means death, poisonous and etc. And even the antonyms like nontoxic or atoxic means not producing or resulting from poison. So I refuse to let people hear our songs and think we're some kind of death god."

Emu gave me a sarcasm laugh and responded, "Amu, I think you're a little superficial. People won't think that."

I looked at her and shrugged my shoulders.

"Maybe I am but still, there are some people who thinks that. Soon, after we hit our hit song, some person started rumors about us. So, please think of another name. It was good, but too risky." I explained

Emu sighed and returned to thinking. But suddenly a knock came from my door and two little children came in. It was Kuto and Yuki who was at my door and they brought red roses and white roses. Kuto and Yuki were wearing their school uniforms also. They both ran to me with their arms open wide open and tears in their eyes. I quickly moved my laptop to make room for them and they jumped on me like I was some kind prey.

"Amu onee-chan, we were so worried about you. We thought you died, when they said you won't wake up. Then we heard the news that you woke up today, so we rushed here after school." said Kuto

I patted Kuto, who was on my left, on his head and Yuki's head, who was on my right. Soon, another knock came from the door. I looked up from Yuki and Kuto and turned my attention to the door. There at the door was 6 figures that looked so familiar.

"Amu?" said a voice that sound very sad

It was a little figure who said that. I could tell because she immediately ran to me with tears in her eyes. Her long dark orange hair was waving at me and her arms was wide out for me to embrace. Kuto who, was on my left, was now on my right with Yuki. When the girl got to me, she caught my hospital sleeve and buried her face into it. It was like she didn't want me to see her waterfall eyes. Yuki, who was on my other sleeve, let go and I embraced the girl.

"Rima, please don't cry anymore." I whispered

"B-B-But I haven't seen you for 2 weeks! When you didn't answer my calls, I got worried. I went to your house and they said you lived somewhere else. Amu, please Amu, please tell me what happened to you. You promise that there will be no secrets between us." cried Rima

I played with Rima's hair for a while and then I raised her head up. I wiped away her tears and placed her beside me on the bed.

"I guess I'll tell you everything. But..." I started

"But? But what, Amu?" asked Rima

I signed and began, "I'll have to quit Seiyo Academy."

The other people, the guardians and Kairi, and Kukai, came to my side also.

"What you mean you have to quit Seiyo Academy, Amu-chi? Is it because you're a captain?" asked Yaya

I gasped at Yaya and gaped at her. Yaya covered her mouth in a hurry and she glanced at the guardians. I also looked at the guardians and they had this look. It wasn't a surprised look, but a worried look.

"Did you all know that I was a captain?" I asked

They all nodded their head in agreement.

"Are you mad, Amu-chan?" asked Nagihiko

I shook my head without looking at Nagihiko.

"I knew you all was going to find out sooner or later. But I didn't know it was this soon." I said with a little giggle

"I understand, but why is Ikuto-nii doing here?" asked Tadase

I looked at Ikuto and he looked back at me. He smirked at me and I assume that was the ok signal to tell them. Before I began to explained, I closed my eyes.

"One day when our school was attacked, I heard that Kairi told Ikuto that I wasn't at the guardian meeting. So, he was worried about me and went out searching for me. Apparently, my parents were in my room and they spilled the beans without even noticing it. So, Ikuto decided to sneak in Crescent Academy and find me. But luckily, my chara's were all goofing around, so it was easy to spot my room. And when I got there, he was reading one of my manga's on my bed. End of story." I explained

"Ah, but you left out about you cuddling up with me in the bed." cried Ikuto

I opened my eyes and gave Ikuto one of my scariest glares. Because of that, he shut up and continued to read the manga he was reading. Then on the corner of my eye, I spotted Ike. He had a depressed looked on his face, but I really didn't care actually. His eyes were like dog eyes when they want something or depressed.

"That's not fair, Amu. I asked if I can sleep with you and you called me a pervert! But when he asked it's different story. That's unfair, Amu-chan! When we were little, we..." weep Ike

I grabbed another pillow from my back and hit Ike in the face so he can shut up.

"Listen up and listen up good. I, Amu, did not...I repeat DID NOT, let that cat pervert sleep with me. He jumped on me and I couldn't get loose. So, don't ever and don't you dare say something Ikuto..." I shouted

Ikuto mouth was ready to say something, but I quickly shut him up.

"Wow mama, you must be really angry? That's probably mean you're all better, huh?" said Kuto

I stopped glaring at Ike and Ikuto and turned my attention to Kuto. He was smiling, a smile I never seen before. While smiling back at him, I said, " Yes, you're right. I feel 100% better thanks to all of your support."

He nodded his head in agreement and Yaya was the first to break the warm silence and bringing in the ice.

"Hey, Amu-chi, you still didn't tell us about those two yet."

I looked at Yaya, then I looked at Ike. I sighed and I leaned back on my pillow. I closed my eyes once again and I began the story...

"It was when I was 7 years old. Ike, Nozumi, and me were playing in the backyard at Taguachi's house. It was a normal day or as I thought. We heard a knock at the door and a question that was just full of depression.

Flashback

"Yes, can I help you?" said a maid

A lady with short brunette hair and brown eyes was at the door, but she wasn't alone. There was two kids that was about 4 or 5 years old by her and bags are also beside her.

"May I speak to Miss Taguachi please? Just Amy and she'll be here." said Amy

The maid hesitated for a second but she bowed her head down in respect and left. Soon, Kasumi-mama came down stairs gliding across the floor in her beautiful kimono. When she reached the door, Kasumi-mama serious face went away and now her face looked kind of happy.

"Amy, what are you doing here?" said Kasumi

The lady looked down at the floor and she murmured something, but I didn't catch it. But she suddenly rose her head and spoke in a depressing mood.

"Kasumi-san, will you please take care of these two for me? I just don't think I can take care of them. I have a huge dept to pay and I just can't pay all of it, so I decided to run away and leave them with someone worthy; and that's you." said Amy

Kasumi-mama looked away for a second and then back at Amy with gloomy eyes.

"You know I could..." started Kasumi-mama, but was interrupted by Amy blonde hair shaking.

"I could never do that, Kasumi-san. But if you can, can you please take these two in for me. I'll be very grateful if you can." asked Amy

Amy placed her hands on both of her children and looked at Kasumi-mama with pleading eyes. Even though Kasumi-mama still had her serious face, I could tell she flinched for a second. However, Kasumi-mama gave up and said with a lovely voice...

"If that's the only way I can help you, then I'll be glad to."

Amy smiled with little sorrow but she gave the kids to Kasumi-mama and left with out a good-bye to the children. Kasumi-mama motion the maid, who answered the door, to come and put their bags in a room. Then Kasumi-mama was coming towards the backyard where Ike, Nozumi, and me were playing at.

"Kids please come here I have to tell you something." asked Kasumi-mama

We all stopped what we were doing and gather where Kasumi-mama was. Kasumi-mama bend down to our level and started to explain about the two kids.

"Well, everyone we have 2 new family members and I want you all to behave and get along. The one on my right is Yuki and she's 4 years old; and the one on my left is Kuto and he's 5 years old. I'm going to leave you kids because I have some work to be done, so have fun."

Kasumi-mama stood up and left us with a smile on her face. We all stood there for a second and then Yuki started to cry, but soon, her cry turned to hiccups.

"What's the matter Yuki-chan?" I asked

She shook her head no, but she didn't hold on much longer.

"I want my mama!" whined Yuki

"But you got Kasumi-mama and she's a great mama." I explained

She shook her head even harder and cried, "Kasumi-mama looks mean and it seems she doesn't want me here."

I suddenly hugged her and said in a low voice, "You got it all wrong, Yuki-chan. Kasumi-mama is just surprised about everything today, but she will never say she don't want you. Even though I'm not her real daughter, she still treats me like it. So, I'm positive that she will to. So, please don't say that, okay?"

Yuki quieted down and shook her head in agreement.

"Um...?" asked Yuki

"Amu. Hinamori Amu." said Amu

"Amu, you smell like my mom." said Yuki

"Oh, I do? Well at least you won't miss your mom smell, huh?" I asked

"You're right! Amu, maybe you should be my mom. Since you smell like her and you also act like her, in kind of sort of way. So, how about it?" asked Yuki, with a big smile on her face.

Amu's POV

"And that's how I became their mama, but Kuto was hard to get. He was very stubborn, but luckily he opened up." I explained

"But Amu-chi that doesn't explained why Ike is the father?" asked Yaya

I looked at Yaya and smiled, "That's because Ike was the only boy their; and Kuto and Yuki never had a father before, so Ike decided to do the job."

The guardians gave me the 'oh' face and Nagihiko had this confused look on his face. Of course I was curious, but I didn't want to ask. However, he didn't hold it long.

"Hey, Amu? This woman, Taguachi Kasumi, she sound so familiar. Is she famous?" asked Nagihiko

I looked at Nagihiko and had this look that I just couldn't resist.

"Yes, she was. She was very famous for her Japanese dance. You must of heard about Angel Kumiko and Angel Matsu, right?" I asked

Nagihiko walked across the room to sit on the edge of the bed and when he did, he nodded his head in agreement.

"Angel Kumiko was known for Snowflake Dance and Angel Matsu was known for Dance with Leaves. Kasumi-mama, was known for her Sakura Petal Dance. They all became a legend, but all legends retire." I explained

"Angel? Is Luna their little sister?" asked Tadase

Without looking at him, I responded, "Yes. Kumiko was the oldest of the Angel family and Matsu was the second."

"But why did they retire?" asked Nagihiko

"Kasumi-mama retired when she had Nozumi; Kumiko retired when she had her second daughter, Yuzuki; And Matsu retired when she got married. But I think she retire because she was pregnant. However, I don't have all the details, so I shall leave as that." I said

"So, that what happen. My mother was very sad when they retired." said Nagihiko

Then, my door opened all of a sudden, and Lady Joker and Kyo came in. But this time she was wearing a different outfit. She was wearing a black dress that looks like petals, but I call it the 'petal dress' with a red tutu under it. On the 'petals' were red balls and on the top part of the dress has red diamonds. For shoes, she wore black ballet slippers. For accessories, she had a red and black joker hat with balls at the end of the tail; and she had a bracelet with black and red diamonds on it. Kyo was wearing a white shirt and a black jacket with black jeans; and black shoes. He had no accessories, today. Lady Joker floated out of Kyo's arms and on my lap. And to my surprise, Kyo didn't come jumping on me like he usual did. He just walked over here like a normal person.

"Amu-chan, Luna has sent us to tell something that might cheer you up!" said Kyo

"That's right. Luna said she will do the documents for, so you just focus on the name and song." explained Joker

Happiness...that was all I can think about and feel. Burden was release from my shoulders and I felt lighter than I usual was. It was like I was floating on clouds that was fill with cotton candy and gum drops.

"Um, Amu-chi, that doll is talking. Why?" asked Yaya

Still in my happy mood, I responded, "She's a special doll. A soul doll at that matter."

"Oh, I know the name your band should be...Shugo Souls. You all have soul dolls and I think it's cool, I think." said Kyo

I got out of my happy mood, and look at Kyo. He had this smile that was too cute, no adorable smile that I just couldn't say no.

"Nice idea, Kyo. So, is everybody with the idea?" I asked

Emu and Nozumi looked at each other and nodded their heads. I also nodded my head and Kyo pounce on me, but he was in his cat transformation. I patted his head and played with his ears.

"A new beginning to a new band, huh?" I whispered

Kyo just purred in respons and said, "Nya!"
