A/N: Giving thanks to i-is-monstarr-RAWR and Bells for the reviews. Now I got a review from someone who I'm not going to name so if you're reading this person, then I hope you understand why my story is like this and no viewers it's not a flame. 1.) I don't care about the reviews anymore, I mean I don't really care/want a lot of reviews but I do love the good reviews from others. 2.) I edited the first chapter a while ago, so if you reread that one then let me know. As for the other chapters that need to be edited, I am trying my best to get the time to fix them so wait for those chapters to be edited. I'm lucky I even made time for the new chapters! 3.) I know that people think Tira is like Amu but now I'm going to tell you and everyone else what Tira and Amu DO NOT- key word: Do Not- have in common; 1. Tira is and never will be a long lost sister to Amu, her story life is way different from Amu's. 2. Amu is not gothic, so therefore she doesn't have a dark side like Tira does. 3. Tira character/story is finding out which side is better off as; good or bad. Rika was born as an extra to help both sides out. Unlike Amu, she's trying to find out what kind of character she wants to be. Not what side of good or evil. 4. The reason why Tira was such a** in the first chapter is because she didn't have any friends but Mr. Tory and kids made fun of her at her high school. That's also the reason why she snaps and etc in the chapters of the now. 5.) Tira being unneeded? She's needed in my POV. 6.) The nodding and etc? I just like adding those parts. 7.) Tira not being around Amu when she's unconscious? This story isn't a 100% retell and I don't think Tira would have to always be around those parts. 8.) Now that I'd got that whole mess cover up, I would've reply back to you but you signed the review so I couldn't reply back to you but in all of this, I will not change Tira, because I plain this whole story out before writing the story itself and I'm not going to waste anymore time with risking the story to change Tira so from now on, I'm done with trying to tell people that I can't change Tira. I made her for a reason and that is because I wanted the readers to understand her and the story it's self. Sorry I had to say all that but I'm now serious and very upset that no one reads my A/N's but only a few who don't say Tira is like Amu.

Disclaimer: I will never own Shugo Chara!, just my OC's and the role in the story.

Enjoy- and super sorry for the long A/N, I had to tell this person somehow! I couldn't even find this person in the search engine!

Chapter 25: The Truth.

"Whaaat? You're Nadeshiko's twin?"

Yaya asks in surprise, staring at Nagihiko. He smiles at her.

"Yeah, nice to meet you. I'm the new Jack Chair, Nagihiko Fujisaki."

"And a boy! No way!"

Yaya shouted, making me sigh.

"He's only staying here for awhile…"

I whisper, having Rima and Yaya hear this. Yaya then gasps.

"You guys knew already!"

"Yeah…"

"No way!"

Nagihiko let out a small laugh.

"It's pretty complicated…"

Oh, I bet.

"Hey, Nagi, do you have a Character, too?"

"What's he like?"

Ran and Pepe ask with questioning looks. Nagihiko smiles wider and took out his Guardian Egg.

"Yeah, this is my Guardian Egg. But he's not born yet."

"It looks like Nadeshiko's!"

"Even the Guardian Eggs are twins!"

"Who's Nadeshiko?"

Rima asks, looking over at Amu for the answer.

"She was our former Queen Chair."

"I see…"

She started, now looking over to Nagihiko.

"You're going to be a new Jack even though you don't have a Guardian Character? I preferred Kairi."

"Umm…"

Tadase spoke up before Nagihiko could, in hopes there wouldn't be a fight.

"I ask him to substitute for the time being. After all, Fujisaki is the former Qu- ow! Ow!"

Tadase cried in pain when Nagihiko graphs his cheeks and does a painful cheek massage.

"Oh, the muscles in your face seem tense. Should I give you a 'good' massage?"

Nagihiko asks, hoping the others didn't notice that Tadase almost blew his cover. I notice that Rima was staring at him with a look in thinking. I think she already notice Tadase almost mistake. Just then Amu walks over to him with a smile.

"You really look like Nadeshiko."

No shit, really?

"Oh, Amu. Uh, really?"

"How is Nadeshiko? Is she coming back to visit?"

"So far she has no plans."

Rima was now giving me and Yaya a look in question. Silently asking as to where Nadeshiko is at the moment.

"Nadeshiko is studying abroad right now, but she was in Amu's class and her best friend."

Yaya answers, instead of me answering it… I was thinking about some of the stuff that has happen over the last month. Yeah, it's a whole month past now and we're back at school. Rima stands up and lightly graphs Amu's black school jacket, getting her to look over in question.

"Rima?"

"I'm a Queen, too. And I'm in your class… But I'm not your best friend?"

Rima ask, building tears in her eyes.

"What! Wait… No, ummm… Rima-!"

"Don't worry. She's not really crying."

Nagihiko cut her off, making Rima stop crying and looks over to the new Jack. He has good eyes!

"How can you tell?"

"I'm good at acting, too."

He took his hand out to her, now smiling again.

"Anyway, nice to meet you, umm… Rima, was it?"

"No!"

Rima shouted, now hiding behind Amu.

"Hey-!"

"Amu, you shouldn't be friend with this guy. I can't trust him!"

Nagihiko frowns at this. I then look over to Tadase with a bored look on my face.

"Can we start this meeting now?"

I ask and Tadase nods his head at me in reply.

"Okay then, we should start our Guardian Meeting. I have something I need to tell everyone."

The others sat back down and listen to what he had to say.

"There is someone who is collecting a large number of X Eggs. Just like the Black Diamond incident."

I frown at the news. Another X Eggs mission from Easter again?

"Is that what was going on yesterday?"

I heard Amu whisper and before I could ask what she meant, Tadase spoke up again.

"I already know who it is. Ikuto Tsukiyomi."

I and Amu were eye widen, staring at Tadase in shock. Tadase went on.

"Last night, I went back to the park Amu and I had visited. I found a bunch of X Eggs there and Ikuto Tsukiyomi. He was Character Transformed into something I've never seen before. And he attacked me."

"So the injuries on your legs…"

Nagihiko said and I gasp, now looking under the table to see Tadase's legs are in wrappings and band-aids.

"He caught me off guard."

Tadase admitted and Amu call stood up fast, about to say something when she stops herself. She's hiding something…

"Amu, do you know something?"

"Oh… Uh… I… Umm… Do you have some sort of history with Ikuto? Because you always get overzealous every time Ikuto is involved."

She asks, now frowning when Tadase looks down with an even deeper frown.

"That-!"

"Okay, that's enough on this topic."

Yaya cut him off and went on.

"By the way… I notice that Tadase calls you Amu in stead of your last name. Did something happen over winter break?"

Yaya ask, getting the two to blush. I didn't notice that…

"Ummm, no, nothing!"

"It's awfully fishy that you stuttering…"

Rima noted, now giving the two her stare.

"Sheesh!"

Later Outside On The School Grounds…

"Okay, gather round."

Yaya started, getting us to walk over to her.

"Our first job as Guardians is to shovel the snow in the garden. Once we finish this, we're done. Let's work hard!"

I sigh and look at the time on my cell phone and frown.

"I have to go to work in an hour."

I said and Yaya frowns at me.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes."

"Why are you working at this age anyways?"

"Because I live by myself."

I answer and walk over to graph a shovel while Yaya, Rima, their characters, and Nagihiko stare at me with wide eyes. Yes, they didn't know about me living alone either. In the whole hour of working, I notice Yaya was working with me and even stare at me every time I didn't notice her looking. Rima was looking a few times as well but not as much as Yaya was doing. I didn't ask why and soon my hour was up and I said goodbye and head to work.

"Tira? Why was Yaya staring at you?"

Kiki ask.

"Don't know. Maybe because I said I live alone?"

"Rima was also staring too."

Luluu added but Rika shook her head at her older sister.

"Yaya was staring the most."

Rika pointed out and Luluu frowns. She doesn't like being proved wrong. Soon we made it to work and I notice Utau wasn't around while helping Sanjo with the paper work.

"Hey, Sanjo. Where's Utau?"

I ask, seeing her look up at me.

"She finished her work for today and went to go out for a walk."

"Oh…"

I wanted to hang with her after work… After work, I was walking home and lock the front door from the inside of my apartment with a sigh.

"You okay? You've been thinking a lot lately."

Rika asks so I look over to her.

"It's just… For the past month, I've been worry about Kukai. He's been acting wired lately. And on our last date… It didn't really feel like a date."

I answer, frowning deeply.

"Its okay, Tira! Maybe he has feelings for you and doesn't know how to tell you it yet?"

Kiki said and I made a small smile. That could be it…

"Thanks."

I said and turn around to see my kitchen window open. There's only one person who could use the window from such a high building…

"Ikuto…"

I call out simply and Ikuto pop his head out from his spot on the couch.

"You call?"

He asks and I turn around to look at him.

"If you're going to sleep over night this time, then sleep on the couch."

I warn and he frowns back at me.

"What got into you?"

"You've been gone for like almost a whole month now and you show up after all this time by taking people's Guardian Eggs again."

I answer, seeing Ikuto frown deeper and stood up. Making me notices the wound on his shoulder and now I frown.

"You ran into Tadase last night after all…"

I said and Ikuto was eye widen.

"So that's how I got this wound…"

Ikuto whisper, looking at his shoulder. What does he mean by that?

"Huh?"

"…"

"Ikuto, what do you mean by that?"

I ask and he still didn't answer and turns his back on me and I made fists.

"Answer me!"

I snap but he still didn't answer so I walk right over to him and graph his good should roughly and turn him around.

"Tell me!"

I shouted and Ikuto was about to look away when I graph his face and force him to look over to me. Ikuto look right into my eyes and frown again.

"I… Don't why I got it. I can't remember."

"What?"

"I said I-!"

"I know what you mean! I just want to know why you can't remember!"

"Oh…"

He wasn't sure what to say. It was silent for a few seconds until Ikuto sighs and spoke up.

"If he didn't disappear, I wouldn't have been working for Easter to get the X Eggs..."

Ikuto whispers so I stare at him in question.

"What do you-!"

I ask him but then Ikuto place his fore head on mine and I blush. What is he doing!

"My head hurts…"

Ikuto whisper and I realized how hot his head is. Is he getting sick? Or is he already sick?

I sigh and slowly led him to the couch as our Characters watch and let him sit down and went to get some pain pills and got him to take it with a glass of water. Soon he started feeling better.

"Ikuto… Tell me what you meant earlier."

I said and Ikuto look over to me with another frown.

"…It all started with my mother and father."

He started and I listen, sitting next to him.

"My father was the best violinists in Japan and my mother was the only girl in her family. Her side of the family was the founders of Easter."

I was eye widen at this new info.

"Dad was a young man with talent but no status or fame. Mom's side of the family was against it when she wanted to marry dad but she did anyways…. At a cost… 'When the time comes, give up music and take over Easter.'"

I frown at that now.

"But my father couldn't give it up so he disappeared on the night my grandfather, the former CEO of Easter, died. The only thing he took was his violin… Instead of me, Utau, and mom. After dad left us, mom's side of the family treated us coldly. But mom believed in my father and waited. She waited for years and then one day, they found my dad's violin but not him over seas… And mom broke down and became weak and remarried the executive director of Easter."

I gasp in shock and look away. So that's why he's still working for Easter? Utau was lucky to get away…

"Why did you tell me this?"

"So that you'll know why I'm still working for Easter. But like I said I don't remember how I got this wound on my shoulder. I just woke up and notice it."

"Oh…"

I stare at the wound and sigh.

"You want me to put something on it for you?"

"I don't care. It'll heal soon."

I glare at him.

"Don't give me that!"

"Give you what?"

"Stop acting like it's no big deal! That's all you been doing in the past is act like it's nothing! You need to learn that life isn't just fan and games!"
I snap and Ikuto stare at me in surprised as Yoru looks over to see what Ikuto would do. Ikuto didn't say anything and just took off his shirt, making me blush again and he sat there, waiting…

"Will? Aren't you going to help with my shoulder?"

He asks and I frown a little before standing up and went to go get the first aid. I soon came back and fix his shoulder right up and he smile at me.

"Thank you…"

He said and Character Change with Yoru and head over to the open kitchen window.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going back to Am- my house. I gotta get going before mom starts thinking I ran off again. She's making fish for dinner."

I didn't notice his almost mistake and nod my head in return.

"Come back soon and I'll make you something to eat next time."

I said, smirking at him. He smirks back at me.

"I'll come over tomorrow then."

And with that he left the apartment, jumping out the window. Just then I felt someone poking my shoulder and I look over to see that it was Yoru.

"Aren't you supposed to be with Ikuto?"

"I know but… I want to ask you a favor."

"What is it?"

I ask as my Characters watch in question.

"I think something is happening to Ikuto so could you… Watch over him for me? He sometimes doesn't listen to me and it makes me worry about him a lot, nya."

I stare at him with worry eyes. I know Yoru care but I didn't think he would go this far to ask someone like me to help watch over Ikuto. Ikuto… I don't understand him sometimes and yet he's likes to hang out with me… Mostly in my room to sleep for the night. But other then that… I started to remember the music he played in the park that night before Amu appeared. Ikuto was like this whole other side of him… Like he was grown up. It's like he's… Sad and alone in the world and Yoru is mostly the only one there for him.

"…"

I didn't say anything for a while and I started to feel kind of bad. After all the slaps and punches I've been giving him. It might've made things worst. But I don't understand why Ikuto would want to hang out with me…

"Maybe the reason why Ikuto wants to be with me is because I make him feel happy and not alone in the world…"

I thought to myself and look back over to Yoru and made a small smile.

"I'll watch over Ikuto for you, Yoru. So far I've been there for him and right now, he needs me now more then ever. I'll watch over him. I promise."

I said and made a pinky promise with Yoru.

A/N: Now that this chapter is done, I wish to say sorry for my… I guess serious reply back to the person so if you reply back I hope you read my A/N because I'm not going to do this in my story anymore because I feel like it's killing my story. Seeya whenever I can post another chapter.
