Sup guys! How is everyone? It's another chapter! Wooohoo! So most people have been asking me what my fav part is in this book. I think it's the dream parts. I'm not really sure why though. Oh well, here comes chapter 21! It has Yuffie in it! Yuffie makes me smile : )

Chapter 21 Wind of the Naginata!

Cloud Striffe was doing his call of duty for the day. Well…..actually that's all he's been doing for who knows how long! It was like this…beat up heartless , search for Sephiroth, rinse lather repeat. Yep that's his schedule.

As Cloud finished off his forty heartless, he did his next thing on the agenda. You guessed it, search for Sephiroth. He jumped from rock to rock looking for his nemesis. As he stopped on a ledge, something caught his eye. Down from the ledge was a girl surrounded by heartless. Not small heartless, big.

Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts!

Cloud jumped down and slammed one of the heartless with his big fusion sword. "SLASH!" it was gone. He deiced to take the rest out by doing his signature move cross slash. Thus causing all the heartless to be like chickens and poof away. Cloud then turned around to see if the girl got hurt any. Her eyes were light brown with curiosity. She was smaller than him, but not as small as one of the gullwings. She had long purple hair tied with a flower band to form a ponytail. The girl had a pink skirt on with a fancy white shirt. Her boots were black that went up to her kneecaps and next to her head was a little sprite wearing a kimono floating next to her.

"You okay kid?" Cloud asked.

The girl nodded slightly. She then spoke with quietness and elegance, "Yes. Thank you sir. My name is Nadeshiko."

"Cloud."

"Is that your name?"

"Yeah."

"Thank you Cloud." Nadeshiko smiled which sparkled in Cloud's eyes. It made her seem a little cute. Nadeshiko looked at him, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Your cheeks are a little red."

"I'm fine." That's when Cloud realized he never seen Nadeshiko here before. Did she come from another world? "Where's your home?"

"I'm not from here."

Cloud sighed, "Follow me."

Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts!

As Cloud was leading Nadeshiko to Merlin's house, she kept talking to her little sprite. Out of curiosity Cloud had to ask, "Why does your sprite wear a kimono?"

Nadeshiko and her sprite giggled, "She's not a sprite, She's a chara."

"A what?"

"A Chara. They're like little fairies that follow you. They hold the person you want to be."

That made Cloud wonder, "The person you want to be?" He knew of that thing though. He wanted to stop Sephiroth. He wanted to have light.

They reached Merlin's house, "Ok go inside and say Cloud brought you." Nadeshiko nodded and went inside.

Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts!

2 Hours Latter- "Cloud!" The hero turned around to see Tifa running towards him. "There you are Cloud!" She huffed trying to catch her breath from chasing him. "So Nagihiko was right."

"Who?"

Tifa looked at him, "Nagihiko."

"You mean Nadeshiko?"

"No, Nagihiko. He's a new kid here. He has long purple hair and has a little fairy that looks like a little cool person I met him at Merlin's house earlier."

Cloud began to wonder, "Nagihiko? That sounds like Nadeshiko. Long purple hair. That sounds like her. But what did Tifa mean about a fairy that looks cool? Nadeshiko had a chara that wore a kimono. And I just sent her to Merlin's…What exactly is Nadeshiko up to?"

"Tifa take me to Nagihiko." Cloud commanded.

"Ok, but I don't see what the point is." Tifa replied.

"Good." Cloud thought.

Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts!

Tifa and Cloud walked inside Merlin's house. That's when Cloud came face to face with a boy with long purple hair. He was exactly like Tifa said. "Nadeshiko?"

The boy looked at him, "You mean my twin?"

"Twin?" Cloud wondered.

Nagihiko answered, "Yeah, you must of seen my twin sister. The one who acts so proper and loves to dance. I'm her twin brother."

"The cool one." Said a tiny person that popped from behind his back. The little person also had long purple hair with baggy pants, a snow vest, and a cap on his head. It must have been his chara.

"So you and Nadeshiko are twins?"

"Yep."

Aerith walked by when she spotted Cloud. She stood next to Nagihiko, "Hi Cloud. Do you need help?"

"No, I'm fine."

"Hi Tifa."

"Hi." Moaned Tifa.

"Would you two like to come in for tea?"

"Nope, I'm good." And with that Tifa left.

"How about you Cloud?"

"No-" Aerith now gave puppy eyes at him. The hero sighed, "Fine….."

Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts!

"Jeesh, that's the biggest dream eater yet." Amu exclaimed. Neku and her were watching a gorilla like dream eater floating in the sky.

"Think you can handle it?" Neku asked.

Amu grinned at him, "You bet!"

That made Neku smile just a little. Amu was braver than before. She was improving, but still needed to be pushed. Neku's teachings were getting her prepared for the dreadful thing…. Amu was almost ready. He knew it. She was actually becoming a little like him.

"Hey Amu can I transform with you. You mostly do it with Ran here." Miki asked.

"What! That's no fair! Su wants to go!" Su wined.

"Sure Miki." Amu replied.

"Amu…." Su frowned.

"Colorful Canvas!" Amulet Spade flanged the paint at the dream eater….. It missed for the tenth time. "Daren't! It's to high up." Amulet Spade studied the height of the dream eater. It was so high up, and Amu was even standing on a roof! "If only I had wings." That's when a loud screech came. Amu looked to see a neon blue eagle fly towards the dream eater slashing it with it's quite terrifying claws. When the enemy tried to attack it, the eagle flew away with it's glowing white wings that was amazing to see.

"Amu! The eagle's trying to help us! Let's get the dream eater while it's distracted!" Miki replied from the lock.

Amu nodded. She made a heart shape with her hands and put the shape in front of her lock, "Negative heart lock on!" Now with the dream eater in sight she shouted, "Open Heart!" Small blue hearts came out of her hands and turned to bigger hearts that finally hit the dream eater. After the sudden impact, the dream eater fell down, but it wasn't over yet. Amulet Spade summoned her paint brush, "Colorful Canvas!" Colorful paint came from the brush and hit the dream eater. Now it was gone.

The neon blue eagle flew down to Amu. "Are you Amulet Spade's dream eater?" Amu asked. The eagle nodded. Amulet Spade smiled. She then looked down the roof at Neku. Neku nodded, thus causing Amu to wink at him.

Cloud, Nagihiko, and Aerith were sitting at a table drinking tea. Cloud was observing newbie when the door opened, "Aerith, were back!" It was Yuffie the ninja with Leon behind her. "Oh hi Cloud!"

"Hi." Cloud replied drinking his tea.

"Hello Yuffie." Aerith smiled.

"Hey." Nagihiko waved.

Yuffie walked up to him, "Who are you?"

"I'm Nagihiko."

"And I'm Rhythm." His chara replied.

"Woa! You have one too! Just like Amu!"

"Oh I know Amu."

"You do!"

"Yeah, we come from the same place."

"Aww man, you missed her! She just left!"

"With Sora." Leon replied.

"Sora was here?" questioned Cloud. Leon nodded. Cloud had been wondering what Sora was up to lately.

Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts! Shugo Chara! Kingdom Hearts!

Cloud then made direct contact to Nagihiko, ""So Nagihiko…where's Nadeshiko?"

"Probably dancing in the mountains. She wants to become a gracious dancer. She works hard for it." The twin glared at Cloud making Cloud glare back.

Work hard for it… Something about that girl sparked in Cloud, but what? Cloud got up and walked to the door as he thanked Aerith for the tea. Leon let him pass and he went on. Two things now came across Cloud's mind. He had a rival named Nagihiko; and he had a strange feeling about Nadeshiko.

Hmmmmm… what does this mean? Tehe…

It's seems to be time for Sora to go back on his mission. What could this mean to Amu? And why is Rima in some sort of trance? Akward…

We'll see in chapter 22!
