Chapter 21: The Heart Of A Samurai.
"Look at this article! Utau Hoshina's manager is featured."
Yaya said, pointing to an older woman with glasses, red hair and blue eyes on a picture from a music magazine.
"She looks like Kairi."
"So his sister is part of Easter Corporation."
"…"
I didn't say anything. And if I listen more on who's talking, I would've notice that Amu wasn't speaking as well… I just kept thinking about what Kairi said to me a few days ago. He was talking mostly to me when I spoke to him. I gave him a chance… And he ruined it. I made a fist at that thought. Next time I see him, he's going to regret it!
"This proves it."
My thoughts were cut off by hearing Rima speak.
"Jack is a spy for Easter. He was the one who passed out all those CDs at school. And he went after Tadase and Tira, too."
"What a jerk! Besides, I didn't like him from the start! He took my position as the youngest in the Guardians…"
Yaya started, getting me to sigh, while Amu frowns at her. She went on with her rant.
"He orders people around and he was so uptight about his Guardian duties! He worked harder then anyone else…-!"
We look down in shame, having her to notice but finished her sentence anyways.
"Here…"
"…"
I kept looking down in shame, so Amu spoke up after the silence.
"I think… I'll go talk to him again."
They nod their heads in agreeing.
"I can't believe that what he said was really how he felt."
I then made a fist again.
"I'm joining you…"
I spoke up, still looking down as the others look over to me.
"Alright."
Amu agreed and before anyone else could speak up on the matter, someone else did.
"Kairi is absent today."
We gasps, looking over to the once man that used to work for Easter.
"Nikaidou!"
"Hello."
"What are you doing here!"
I ask, now glaring at the teacher. Why is he still here…?
"I'm Amu's teacher still."
I stare at him in surprised. That's why… Just then Su flew up to him with a warm smile.
"Hello, teacher. Are you eating well? Are you keeping your room clean?"
"You sound like my mom…"
Amu then graphs Su away from him.
"What are you doing here?"
She asks the older man, who smile wide and took five tickets out of his pocket and hands us one for each of us.
"Here. I came to give you kids this."
He said and I started to read mine.
"Black Diamond secret live performance…? Aren't these the guys who were in that van from the other night?"
I ask and Nikaidou nods his head at me.
"Sanjo gave them to me, but I can't go. You can go if you want. It's only for tonight though."
We all nod our heads in agreeing.
"Thanks, teacher! Let's go guys!"
"Right!"
I said, and we pack our things and ran right out the door.
Later In Town…
"It's about to start!"
"Where's the concert held at!"
Tadase ask and I took another look my ticket.
"We're on the right street so it should be around here somewhere!"
"I hear it!"
El spoke up, appearing out of no where, and she started leading the way with us behind her.
"It's over there!"
She pointed over to a building with an out side sign that said 'Secret Live' on it. Inside the building, was a stage room, a huge crowd of kids, who didn't lose their Eggs yet, with music and singing.
"The sparkles you collected… In… Your hand…"
Just then the singer, Utau, pointed to all of the fans and their Eggs appear, turning into X Eggs.
"Black diamonds in the night sky-!"
"Hold it right there!"
Me and Amu shouted over the crowd and the band stop playing and so did Utau's singing. What I didn't know was that Ikuto was with Utau and her band this whole time and also Amu sure knew how to do a Character Transformation fast… With El.
"I am the angel of love, Amulet Angel. I shall punish you in the name of heaven."
"…?"
We made faces at her as Amu starts to panic about El taking over and saying things she wasn't planning on saying. Utau smirks at Amu before doing a Character Transformation with Diamond and sends the X Eggs at us.
"Character Transformation! Heart Of Light!"
I call out and block the X Eggs with my Sun Light attack getting Utau glare to at me.
"You won't get away with this!"
I shouted, noticing the other X Eggs floating around. Utau then laughs at this.
"I already took the X Eggs. I and Diamond! So what is there to get away with?"
Utau likes using Diamond a lot… And Utau looks darker then before. So does that mean Diamond is causing this?
"Don't get in the way, Utau."
Amu warns with a glare.
"You're the ones who's in the way."
Amu frowns a little, while I growl under my breath. She really knows how to make me mad…
"Is that… Really who you want to be, Utau?"
Utau stares at Amu in surprised by her question. But just then Ikuto came and graph Utau away to the back of the stage… Wait, Ikuto was here! He really is part of Easter…
"Wait-! Ah!"
Amu shouted, seeing a sword in her way. We look over to see that it was…
"Kairi…"
I whisper, frowning that he was going to fight us. Kairi is in his Character Change, so his hair is in a Samurai pony tail with his bangs left alone, holding a Samurai sword with a sword holder on his belt.
"I am you opponent… White Joker!"
He shouted and was about to attack Amu when I graph her out of the way and block his attack with my Golden Archer. He glares at me, making me frown deeply.
"I thought we were friends. I gave you a chance!"
I started, as Kairi was trying to get me out of the way.
"I care about you!"
I shouted, noticing him frowning a little before pushing me away and took up his sword and started running at me for the attack with a glare.
"Take this!"
He shouted and I close my eyes tightly but didn't feel the pain. I then open my eyes to see Amu in her Amulet Heart outfit and was blocking Kairi's attack with her Heart Rod.
"You're lying, right? You're not our enemy."
Kairi didn't say anything but then he was able to get the Heart Rod out of his way and points his sword at Amu's neck but didn't make the move to attack her just yet.
"It's over."
Was all he said with fear in his eyes but try not to show it and was about to attack when mine and Amu's locks started to glow bright and it made the other Guardian's do a Character Transformation!
"Character Transformation! Platinum Royale!"
"Character Transformation! Clown Drop!"
"Character Transformation! Dearest Baby!"
They call out and stop Kairi so he jumps away from us.
Yaya's outfit was a baby outfit. It's very much weird for an outfit. She wore a grown light pink baby outfit with the leg parts puff up and no sleeves. A white baby bin tied around her neck, white long, way above the knees stockings with light pink baby size shoes. On her head is a light pink baby bunny hat with long light pink bunny ears with two big red bows on it. Her hair is in small pink tails with her bangs left alone.
"Huh? I was able to Character Transform, too! How cute! I'll take a picture and send it to mom."
"Hey!"
"Yaya, not now!"
Amu and I shouted at her, but she didn't listen and took the picture anyways.
"So this is the power of the Yin and Yang Joker's Humpty Lock."
I heard Kairi whisper to his character, who nods his head at him in agreeing. Just then the X Eggs started doing something.
"The X Eggs are gathering! Holy Crown!"
Tadase calls out and block their attack from hitting Rima.
"Leave it to me!"
Yaya shouted out.
"Take this! Merry, merry!"
…What? All she did was summon a huge mobile. But it did make the X Eggs fall asleep so I guess that'll work. I was going to thank Yaya when I notice she, too, was sleeping by the music from the mobile… Wait… What!
"What the hell, Yaya!"
I shouted as Su look over to Amu.
"Ran, switch out!"
And Ran did.
"Character Transformation! Amulet Clover!"
Amu calls out and blocks Kairi's next up-coming attack, who took this chance to attack us as the X Eggs woke up from my shouting and gather once again.
"Wow, they're fast!"
"Amu, watch out!"
Rima warns as some of the X Eggs came at her but I block them with a new attack.
"Heroes shield!"
I shouted and a pair of huge gold angel wings appears in front of us and blocks the attack as Amu took the chance to call out Kairi.
"Kairi! We still believe in you. I don't care if I'm stupid. I want to believe. Kairi… The person you were… When you were with us is the real you!"
Kairi was eye widen at this and was soon lost in thought when all of a sudden he gasps, hearing me scream when the X Eggs destroy the shield of mine, pushing Rima away from me as I end up being push back to behind Amu in pain.
"Amu! Tira! Behind you!"
"Shoot!"
"An honest path…"
Kairi whispers as I try getting up before the attack.
"Yuarona! Hinamori!"
"Run!"
Tadase and Rima warn us when I notice the X Eggs were going after me and Amu.
"They're going to crush us!"
Amu screams out, putting her arms to cover her face as I was about to do the same thing when someone else came and stop the attack by pushing them back.
"Character Transformation! Samurai Soul!"
Kairi calls out, now in his samurai outfit. He wore a black man's kamono, dark blue man's kamono pants with a black kamono's bow tied on the front of the top. He also wore Japanese sandals with white socks. His hair is the same as his Character Change, only it has a white clear cloth that's now part of his pony tail and his sword now has a red ribbon on the handle.
"Kairi!"
"You… Saved us!"
Amu and I said in surprised, having me smile warmly at him. Kairi look over to us with a warm smile back, only to blush a little when he saw my warm smile and look away.
"… Twin Jokers… Let's do this together!"
"Yeah!"
"Right!"
We agree and we went into our battle stands, as Kairi's blush went away.
"Lighting Blade!"
"Remake Honey!"
"Sun Light!"
We shouted out and with all of our attacks, it made a flash of light and all the X Eggs went back to their normal forms, still floating.
"The Xs all went away."
Yaya said, now up from her short nap. About time, too…
"Phew… Oh! It's that pure white Egg again!"
Tadase said, getting me to spot it as well. Just then it went away as we turn back to our normal clothes and Yaya came running at Kairi, now hugging him.
"Mr. Class President!"
She wasn't the only one who came running at him. The others did and so did I.
"Everyone..."
Kairi started in a small whisper, but then frowns, now looking down.
"I'm sorry, I-!"
"Stop it."
"I forgive you because you came back!"
Rima and Yaya cut him off. Kairi then look over to me, still frowning.
"And I'm sorry for-!"
"Save it, Kairi."
I cut him off as well.
"You didn't mean what you said the other day so I forgive you. But from now on, no more secrets that has Easter invalid, okay?"
I ask and he nods his head in reply, only to blush when I made another warm smile and... Will… Hug him.
"Good. You're a good friend."
I said, and was about to let the hug end when Kairi hugs me back, not letting me go yet… And making the others gasps, looking at me in surprised. What, I can't hug now?
"Thank you."
Was all he said and let go of me, while I blush a little for some reason, seeing Kairi smiling warmly at all of us.
"'If you study a way daily and your spirit diverges… You may think you are obeying a good way, but objectively it is not the true way.'"
"Huh?"
"What's that?"
"Are you casting a spell?"
Kairi laughs a little at this before shaking his head no.
"It is the words of Musashi Miyamoto. Even though you may think you're correct, you may be wrong. That's why you always have to reflect on what is correct."
Kairi said and looks over to Amu, as I stop blushing and he points his index finger at Amu.
"My correct way is you… White Joker."
Kairi said but then remembers something and gasps, making us have a look in question. Soon Kairi told us what Easter will do next and we soon gasps once again.
"The debut of the Black Diamonds!"
Kairi nods his head at us.
"Their recording is finished. Their debut single is so many times stronger then the wishing CD. Tomorrow night, a helicopter is going to leave carrying the master CD and many X Eggs. Once that happens, you can't stop it!"
I was eye widen at this.
"We can't let it happen!"
"We need to stop the helicopter from leaving!"
Tadase and Yaya said as I made a fist and grew a serious look.
"Let's do this!"
A/N: That's it. Hope you like this short chapter! And reminder of the last chapter I believe it was, that I said that there will not be pairing Kairi and Tira. I just like the idea of them being good friends and blush every now and then, lol. Seeya on Monday!
