Sorry it took so long update, I was in Pennsylvania with my family for a few days and then I was having a problem with the internet. But here's the chapter ^^

Enjoy.

I do not own Shugo Chara

~Amercia in Kukai's room~

"Lucky I have my own room. Yukairi doesn't check up on me a lot since she's still pissed about a comment I made before we got here. And now, we don't have to worry about your managers figuring out you're with me and Utau."

"Yeah, 'cause that would be chaotic," Raiden chuckled. Kukai and him sat down on the bed and Raiden carefully took out his guitar from the case along with music sheets. "Okay, so right now I only have the first set of lyrics and the chorus. Tell me what you think.

Day-eh-ay
You and me, all alone girl
What's going on, would you tell me what's wrong
It's like you're locked up in your own world
Oh-oh with nothing to say

You keep me guessing but I see in your eyes
He made you promises but gave you lies
You're shutting down cuz you're so sure
That I'll be another mistake

I know that he left you in pieces
You know that I won't be that way
I'm not gonna treat you like he did
Oh-oh whatever it takes
You think history is repeating
You keep on pushing me away
Oh but nothing gonna change
Waiting for Yesterday-eh-eh
Day-eh-eh, Day-eh-eh

So...What do you think?"

"It's great."

"Thanks. I just can't think the next set of lyrics," he said biting the eraser end of his pencil.

"Well it sounds like the girls afraid of falling again. Write about that."

"Good idea!" Kukai grinned.

Raiden picked up the music sheets and placed his pencil on the sheets and started humming to himself and then writing notes and lyrics down until his brows knitted together and he groaned, "I lost it."

Kukai laughed at him, "You're like Utau."

"Hey! Don't compare me to your girlfriend."

They both laughed and continued to work on the song.

~To the Girls~

Utau and Kasumi had on sundresses over their swimsuits as they were walking back to Utau's room when Kasumi's phone rang. Utau watched as she pulled out her cell phone out of the pocket of her dress and answer it.

"What?" She was taken back by Kasumi's sudden attitude change. "You can't be serious...But I wasn't told...But-...Fine! Do you have the song arrangements?...Fine. I'll get him and head down there...What?" Kasumi's eyes widen and she looked like she just saw a ghost.

"Kasumi?"

"R-right. Bye."

"Is everything okay?" Kasumi hide her eyes behind her bangs as she put away her phone and continued walking. "Kasumi?"

"Stay away from me."

"Excuse me?"

"Stay away from me!"

Utau stood in the middle of the hall, shocked about Kasumi's sudden change, hurt from the demand, and angry about all of it.

~Time skip~

"Kasumi."

"I knew they were going to do it."

"Kasumi, will you listen to me."

"I can't believe I was so stupid!"

"Kasumi!"

"I shouldn't have spent my day with her."

"Akane!"

"What!"

The dressing room became eerly silent after Kasumi's sudden outburst. Just a few hours ago, she had pulled Raiden away from Kukai because of a sudden concert rehearsal for their concert tonight, which they had no idea about. They were currently on break and Kasumi was still going on about her problem. Raiden couldn't take much of it and was trying to get her attention. Well, I have it now. "Will try and calm down?"

"Calm down? Calm down! You don't get it do you." Kasumi stood up and walked up to Raiden, causing him to step back. "They saw us with Utau and Kukai. With the Guardians. The enemy. Being with them, I wasn't following the rules and now-now." Tears started to well up in Kasumi's eyes. Raiden reached out and took her in his arms as she started to cry.

"It's going to be alright."

~Back where we left off in Japan~

Nagihiko and Rima walked out of Daiki's apartment building and quickly stopped a cab. They both got in and gave the address to Nagihiko's mansion. By the time they got there, everyone was already walking into the house with persmission from Baaya. Nagihiko paided the cab and then walked inside.

"So what was the emergency call for, Nagi?" Amu asked, sitting down on the couch.

"It's about Kasumi and Akane," he said. He grabbed Kairi's arm and pulled him to the computer in the other room with everyone following, "Go to the site where you found the picture of Kasumi's siblings."

"O-kay?" Kairi quickly typed in the site and then opened up the pictures, "Alright, so what's this all about?"

"We were over Daiki's apartment, Nagi's cousin."

"And?" Ikuto motioned to continue.

Nagihiko pointed at the building in the picture, "This is where he lives. Now, remember that Aoi and Daigo said they were staying with him?"

"Yeah."

"Look at the kids getting out of the limo," Rima pointed at the screen. Everyone besides Yaya and Kairi leaned in to look at the kids. "They're Kasumi's siblings."

"Daiki says that he's taking care of an Amaterasu and Sora. Not Aoi and Daigo. He's never even heard of them before."

"But how can that be?" Tadase asked.

Nagihiko shook his head, "I dont know."

"But he does know Aka-chan, right?"

"Barely. Apparently, Akane asked Daiki to take care of Kasumi's siblings. Not hers."

"Alright, this is making no sense!" Amu messed up her hair in frustration. "Do Aoi-chan and Daigo-kun exist or not!"

"Well, there's one way to find out. Nerd-boy, can't you hack into birth files or something like that?"

Kairi glared at Ikuto for the 'nickname', "Yes, if I wanted to get arrested."

"Your point?"

"Ikuto!"

"How 'bout we just go see Aoi-chi and Daigo-kun and see if they'll tell us anything?"

Everyone stared at Yaya then turned to Kairi, "You are such a good influence on her, its amazing."

"Hey! I'm right here, you know!"

~Kamiko's House~

The Guardians were now standing outside the house of Aoi's friend. They looked up both friend's house since they didn't know which one she'd be at. The first one, the parents said that their daughter was already at the sleepover and gave them directions to the house in front of them. The lights of the house were out except for one which they think to be where the girls were.

Tadase took the liberty of walking up to the door and ringing the doorbell. They waited patiently for the door to open but instead, the window upstaid opened and Kamiko's head popped out.

"Can I help you?"

"Uh, yes. We're looking Hanaki Aoi. We're friends of her older sister."

"Akane?" She gasped and smiled, "You're the Guardians!"

"Yeah, now, tell Aoi and Daigo we need to talk to them," Rima cut in.

"Sorry, Daigo is already asleep and Aoi went out to get something from her house. She should be back soon."

"That's great."

Kamiko went back into her room and the Guardians made themselves comfortable on the steps.

"So we wait?"

"Unfortuantly."

"Wait, guys, we sense x-eggs!" the charas (I feel so bad not mentionin them in like ever T^T) floated up.

"But, Raiden and Kasumi are in America," Amu said.

They all shared a look of confusion but then ran off with their charas at front. As they got closer what they noticed was the park, they could hear Kasumi singing which confused them a lot more. When they reached the park, they found people unconcious on the ground. They ran pass them to the sorce and found a familiar friend of theirs from the beginning. The cloaked person.

"This is so confusing," Yaya whined.

"Who are you!" Amu shouted across the field.

The person stood their letting x-eggs circle around her hand.

"That can't be Kasumi," Kairi pointed out.

"How do you know?"

"Kasumi can pull out x-eggs and heart eggs. There are none around."

Before they could figure anything else out, the cloaked person raised her other hand and then controlled the eggs to form the same worm-like forms from their previous battles. They all quickly character transformed and dodged the first attack and tried dodging the others.

"Slash Claw!"

"Holy Saber!"

"Blaze Shoot!"

"Lightening Blade!"

Black Lynx, Platinum Royale, Beat Jumper, and Samuari Soul tried to cut up the eggs from each other but it only caused more 'worms' to form.

"We're getting nowhere! Ah!" Rima shouted, quickly dodging another 'worm' but to be hit with another from the back. She screamed as it's long body wrapped around Rima's petite body and squeezed tightly.

"Rima!" Nagihiko quickly dodged all the attacks coming at him and reached Rima. He tried using Blaze Shoot as a saw to cut the worm but he was thrown off when Yaya crashed against him, sending both of them flying into a near by tree.

Kairi tried to get pass the 'worms' circling around him, trying to get to Yaya, but he was trapped. He tried using Lightening Blade again but it didn't give him much time to get to the other side. Amu was flying in the air using Starlight Navigation on the worms following her but as she was attacking the one in front of her, she didn't see the ones coming from her other sides.

"Amu, look out!" Ikuto shouted up to her but he was too late.

The worms caught her and held her in the same hold like Rima who was now losing air from having the constrictor squeeze the air out of her lungs. Seeing this, Tadase ran to Rima's aid since Nagihiko was still trying to get Yaya and himself out of the tangles of the trees. He used Holy Saber and tried cutting through like Nagihiko tried but the same worm knocked him down and held him down on the ground with his staff far from arms reach from him. Ikuto was dodging the worms, running up the one that held Amu when the 'skin' reached out and took in his leg. He fell over but was able to break the hold with his metal claw but as he was free falling, a worm caught him and held him in a constriction like Amu and Rima. Nagihiko and Yaya were almost out of the tree when two worms reached into the tree and pulled them out harshly and held them upside down by the legs.

They were all struggling in the worms hold as the cloak person continued to play around with the x-eggs floating in their hand. Amu and Ikuto were quickly looking air while as Rima was ready to pass out from the lack of oxygen. Kairi was struggling with the worms still surrounding him. Tadase couldn't push the worm's 'tail' off with the massive weight it was. Yaya was trying to slip out of her bunny feet but it wasn't working. It was Nagihiko who thought of the next move. Since he was the only one besides Yaya and Kairi, he started another Blaze Shoot but threw it that it went around everyone and the person. Like he hoped the attack didn't reappear until it was behind the cloaked person, knocking them over with a powerful shove. Just as the person was knocked over, all the eggs collapsed from their form, all the eggs falling to the ground and releasing all the Guardians.

"Good job, Girly-Boy."

"I'm gonna ignore that comment."

The person started to get up and the eggs were starting to get up too. Thinking fast, Rima and Yaya used Tightrope Dancer and Yaya's ducks to tie them up and Amu switched into Amulet Heart to use her Heart Rods to keep the person from running off. The person in the cloak was struggling against their hold but they couldn't get out.

"We should purify these eggs first," Kairi suggested.

Amu and Tadase used Platinum Heart, Nagihiko resisted from switching into Yamato Maihime and use the Queen's Waltz with Rima. It took awhile since there were many eggs but eventually, they were all purified and they flew off to their bearers. Then they turned to cloaked person that was still struggling against the ropes.

"Okay. Let's pull off this cloak and find out who this is because I'm soo confused," Amu shook her head.

"Agreed."

Ikuto reached out and grabbed the hood of the cloak but accidently grabbed some of the hair but he didn't notice that. As he pulled off the hood, the person cried out in protest but he pulled the hood off and as well as "A wig?"

They all stared wide eyed at the unvailed person.

"Aoi-chan?"

Everyone just stared at Aoi on the ground as Rima's ropes undid themselves except for Ikuto, who kept looking from Aoi to the silver wig in his hands. "What the hell is this!"

"Aoi...What's going on? Why are you doing this?" Rima asked.

"Please...I'll explain everything just...Hide me. They can't know that you found out."

They shared a look with each other before Kairi spoke up, "We can go to my sister's apartment."

Ikuto handed Aoi the cloak and let her hide in it as they made their way to Kairi's apartment. It was quiet; no one spoke because of all the confusing facts floating in their minds and Aoi didn't make an effort of speaking. She instead was constantly looking around in fear, hoping no one was watching them. They finally reached the appartment and then made themselves comfortable on the couches. Rima helped Nagihiko to sit down and Kairi helped Yaya since they both weren't in the best condition since they were thrown into a tree.

"Alright, now explain," Tadase said.

Aoi shook her head, "Close the windows and lock the doors."

"Wh-"

"Just do it."

Not wanted to argue with the middle schooler, they went to go lock the windows and doors.

"There."

"Now, tell us. What are you doing? How can control x-eggs?" Kairi asked.

Aoi sighed and pushed up the sleeves of her cloak and showed the bracelets she was wearing. They were strapped to her wrists and they linked up to her fingers, almost like a glove but what caught their eyes were how the bracelets were swirling with negative glowing purple color to a lavender color.

"What are those?" Yaya asked.

"There created by The Stones scienctists to give me control over x-eggs. Its filled with energy from all the eggs The Stones has collected. With this, I can control hundred, thousand of x-eggs with just a wave of my hand. Heart eggs too but that takes more power."

"But wait. This doesn't make sense. We found out that Kasumi was under this cloak a long time ago. When did you come in?" Nagihiko asked.

"This is actually my second fight with you guys," Aoi said nervously.

"Second?"

"Yeah. Remember that day that you say my sister's transformation for the first time?" They all thought back to the battle and nodded. "That was our first fight."

"Okay, that out of the way, why are you working for The Stones?" Rima glared at her.

Aoi shrunk down in the couch from Rima's intense glare but found the courage to speak, "I'm not working for them. I was ordered to do this."

"Why?"

"First, I wanna know why you have this wig," Ikuto held up the silver wig.

"Uh, yeah," she reached out and took the wig from Ikuto and everyone watched as she did her hair up and fixed the wig over her blue-green hair. She stood up and took off the cloak and stood their shyly.

"You're Kasumi's sister..." Amu gasped.

"Like this, wearing these clothes, this wig, and these contacts," it was now did they notice the gray contacts Aoi was wearing, "is when I'm Mirua Amaterasu, Mirua Kasumi's younger sister. But when I'm not dressed up like this, I'm Hanaki Aoi, Hanaki Akane's younger sister."

"But how are you Kasumi's sister and Akane's sister at the same time?" Ikuto asked but everyone's faces started to change into complete shock, "Unless-"

"They're the same person..." Aoi finished his sentence and nodded, "Hanaki Akane is my sister, Mirua Kasumi in disguise."


Cliff hanger! XD

So they finally found out about Kasumi and Akane, all thanks to Aoi.

Wonder what's gonna happen...You'll find out right now.

I was jkin about ending it here XP.


"But if Akane and Kasumi are the same person then that means-"

"She's been fighting us the whole time," Tadase finished Amu's sentence.

"Woah...De ja vu," Ikuto added.

"She knew all our moves, all our abilities, everything," Kairi said.

"But she did help us get into the concert before, remember?" Nagihiko added.

"But she took Rhythm and Iru and has been trying to kill us, remember?" Rima hissed.

"But that's not Akane! I swear, she would never have thoughts like that," Aoi protested.

"Well, she has an easy time holding us at gun point."

"Look, I know that Akane has attacked you and that she's working The Stones but I don't know why she would stoop down to killing unless it was ordered by The Director."

"Aoi-chan, I know you're trying to protect your sister but she's one of the bad guys. If she wasn't someone who would kill, then why wouldn't she just said 'no'?" Amu asked.

"I asked her the same thing and she says she can't, that there's no way she can say no. She's forced."

"Forced how?" Kairi asked.

"I don't know. She won't tell me."

Ikuto pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "Alright...So Akane's not the enemy. It's The Stones who are. But why is she working for them?"

They noticed how Aoi's expression fell as she sat back down, "Our parents."

"You're parents?"

~Back in America~

There was about an hour before the concert. After Kasumi cried on Raiden's shirt, she asked to be alone. Raiden left her in the dressing room, not wanting to upset her anymore. She sat in front of the mirror and then rested her head on her arms. She was thinking about Aoi and Daigo back at home and why she was in this mess in the first place and was soon asleep.

Akane's Dream/Memories

A small four year old girl with brillient green hair burst through the door of a hospital room with a tall man with blue hair that the girl resembled following her with a smile. The girl ran up to the woman laying in the bed and climbed up onto the bed.

"Akane, you know better than to run in here," said the woman with shoulder length think green hair.

"Sorry, mama, but I wanna see my baby sister," four year old Akane, said in her tiny voice.

Like on que, a nurse walked in, pushing a tiny bed with a baby in it. Akane gave an exciting sqeal as the nurse carefully handed the baby wrapped in a pink blanket. The baby squirmed in the blanket as she got settled in her mother's arms.

"You must be the big sister," the nurse smiled at Akane.

"Yesh!"

"Well, congratulation, little lady."

The nurse stepped aside as the man walked up to look down at the baby.

"Papa, mama, what's her name?"

"Well, her name is Aoi."

"Just like her hair!" Akane giggled, gently brushing the tiny blue hairs growing on her sister's head.

"Yes."

"But why did you call me Akane when I have green hair?" she pouted.

Her father chuckled and ruffled her hair, "That's because Mama was so tired after having you that she thought your hair was red, and telling the doctors to call you Akane."

"Oh."

They three of them touched and cooed at their new family member.

"Now, Akane, you have a little sister. You have to protect her as an big sister and help her when she get bigger."

"Okay, mama," she smiled and then looked at Aoi. She touched her tiny hands and then Aoi wrapped her hands around her finger and opened her eyes to show for the first time blue-green eyes. Akane smiled at Aoi, "Hi, Aoi. I'm your big sister and I' promise to protect you!"

~Five years later~

A nine year old Akane and five year old Aoi walked hand-in-hand into the hospital room with their father. Akane's green hair now reached passed her shoulders and her eyes shined brightly of young innocence. Aoi had long blue-green hair thaat reached her shoulder and was still growing. Her parents were surprised when her hair turned out to be a mix of their but it didn't bother them. They walked up to the hospital bed that had their mother resting in it, just like firve years ago when Akane was meeting for the first time the little girl that she was now helping up into the bed.

A nurse walked in with a tiny bed like last time and handed the baby wrapped in a blue blanket to the father this time. She smiled at the family then stepped out. Mr. Hanaki held the baby boy in his arms and sat down next to the bed to show his two daughters.

"Akane, Aoi, meet your little brother, Daigo."

"He's so cute. But I wanted a little sister," Aoi pouted.

"Aoi, you have a little baby brother and you should be happy about that."

"Okay, Papa."

It was Akane's turn to pout, "He has blue hair like Aoi-chan."

"But that makes you Mama's special little girl," she smiled at her eldest daughter that shared the same color features.

Akane smiled at her mother and then turned to her new brother, "I'm gonna protect Daigo just like Aoi!"

"Oh! Me too! Me too!"

~Seven years later~

Akane walked downstairs carrying a tray with a pot of tea and a tea cup. It was late and she was up working on homework and trying to calm Haru's chills. She walked into the kitchen to see her parents in their robes and with their arms crossed.

"Uh, hi, Mama, Papa."

"Sit," her father said, pointing to the table. Listening, Akane placed the tray down and sat down and her parents too. "Akane, I don't think it's a good idea that you hang out with Haru anymore."

"Papa-"

"Papa's right, Akane. We know about Haru, don't think we've been turning a blind eye."

"Mama, Papa, I can't just abdon him. He's my best friend. We've been together since middle school. He's going through...a tough time right now and I'm helping him."

"Akane, we still don't think-"

"Papa, I know you don't want me involved with any of that stuff but I'm not. I'm only helping Haru quite."

Her parents shared a look before sighing, "Alright, sweety. But be careful, okay?"

"Yes, Mama."

They got up and kissed Akane good night, leaving her alone in the kitchen.

~Six months later~

"And the winner of this year's talent show is...Hanaki Akane!"

Akane, who was standing on stage with all the other students in the talent show, was in complete shock that she actually won. She recieved the trophy from the principal and finally let it sink in. I won...I won! Floating next to her, Lila was cheering and laughing unseen to everyone. After all the prays and congratulations, she walked out of the school with her family laughing and talking about the event, enjoying herself after so long. She was still heartbroken about what happened between her and Haru but she wasn't going let that ruin this night. Nope, something else was going to do that.

"Excuse me, Hanaki Akane?" They stopped and turned around to the voice. Standing there with two other man in sunglass gray suits was who Akane now knows as The Director.

"Yes, I'm Akane."

"Well, young lady, you have some impressive vocal cords there. How would you like to be a new artist on the charts?"

"Who are you?" Akane's father cut in.

"I am the Director of the new recording company, The Stones., and I'm looking for singers and your daughter has caught my attention. How about I treat you all to diner to celebrate your daughter's win and we discuse this further."

~One month later~

When you cried I'd wipe away all your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dream-

"No, no, no." The music stopped and Kasumi opened her eyes and looked through the gray contacts that she was conviced to wear to hide her identy from the public along with the wig and clothes (a suggestion made by her parents to protect her) to see the Director standing by the sound board, "We need you to put more feeling into your song, Kasumi. These are your songs, your words, put more feeling into it."

"Alright."

The music started again and 'Kasumi started singing again until they reached the same part and the music stopped again. The Director sighed and spoke again into the mic, "Take the rest of the day off. Come back tomorrow when you can put more into your songs." Everyone walked out of the room after the Director and 'Kasumi' slide down against the wall onto the floor and tried to keep her eyes open. When she looked up again behind the window, she saw her manager, Kurosawa. She walked and in front of Kasumi with her arms crossed.

"Go home. Maybe you'll get a wake up call there."

~next day~

The Director was looking through papers in his office when the doors to his office burst open. He looked up calmly as Kasumi walked in, her heels clicking against the floor and her hands curled up in fists in the lace gloves that matched her lolita dress.

"Where is she! What have you done with my mother!"

"Ah, so you found out about your mother leaving you. It's a shame really."

"You did something," she hissed, "She would never leave us! You did something! What did you do!" The guards that were in the other room, rushed in and held Kasumi back. "Let me go! Let me go!"

"Now, Kasumi, you need to calm down and go down to the recording room to finish your song."

"How can you keep that face on when you obviously kidnapped my mother!"

He nodded at the guards, annoyed by Kasumi's anger. They dragged her out of the room as she struggled against their hold. They dragged her down to the recording room and pushed her in. She pounded on the door and shouting as they locked the door. The mic turned on and she was then hearing Kurosawa's voice, "Get to the mic and sing. We don't have all day."

~A month later~

Kasumi stopped down the hall her eyes glowing with hatred and anger. She threw open the doors to the Directors office but her anger only grew when she saw him sitting at his desk, waiting for her.

"So, first you, you take my mother and now, you take my father as while and make false documents about that witch, Kurosawa, being my stepmother? Are you satisfied! Because I am offically pissed off!"

"You don't seem to understand, your parents were getting in the way. They were coming in complaining about your health and such. Pity things like that."

"You bastard! They're my parents! You've been working me like crazy! Of course they were going to complain!" Kasumi sucked air through her teeth as she tried to calm down at least a little. As she was trying to simmer down, she didn't notice the newly born egg from a few days ago wiggle in her dress pocket. "Why are you doing this exactly? What are you planning to do?

The Director chuckled and stood up from his chair, "I know that you possess there things called shugo charas. And I know about Lila."

"H-how do you know about Lila?" Kasumi asked, placing her hand protectivly over Lila who had poked her head out of her dress pocket.

"Because I use to have one, maaany years ago. But mine broke before it could hatch. And now...I will use your voice to pull out the heart egg of every child in the world and crush them just like mine was."

"Are you insane! You can't destroy their dreams! Just because your's were crushed doesn't mean you have the right to crush everyone else's."

"That's what you think," he smirked and then his guards walked in. "Now, it's time for you to go on and get to work."

One of the guards placed a hand on Kasumi's shoulder and something snapped in her, causing the new born egg to hatch.

"To a girl that can't fight, to one that can. Charachange!"

A silver belt appeared around Kasumi's waist and she was suddenly, pulled the guard over her shoulder and doing a spin kick, kicking the other ones away. A knife appeared out of nowhere into her hand and she was holding it against the neck of one the guards. That was her first character change with Yuka.

End of Dream/Memories

"Akane, wake up."

"Mhm..Huh?" she opened her eyes and saw Haru changed out of the shirt she cried into.

"Morning, sleepy head," he smiled at her.

"Guess it's time."

"Yup."

She sighed, "Let's get this over with."

~Back in Japan~

All the Guardians were shocked by everything Aoi explained to them.

"He wants to destroy dreams?" Tadase said.

Aoi nodded, "He's been using old Easter files. Apparently, when he learned about Utau and how she pulled x-eggs out of her fan. So he started looking for a singer with the potentional of pulling out x-eggs. Then he found my sister. She was able to pull out both x-eggs and heart eggs with her songs. I have my fake excuse for a stepmother to thanks for this information."

"So why are they using you?"

"Because, if my sister doesn't listen, they know that she'll get upset and listen if I'm involved and my sister has been trying to keep both me and Daigo out of this whole thing."

"Aoi-chan, I'm so sorry," Amu said, sitting next to her wrapping her arm around her shoulder.

"It's okay, but there's something I want to ask you all something."

"What is it?"

"I need you to help my sister. Get her out of The Stones. hold. Stop them. Please."

"We'll try, Aoi, we'll try."


Finally! Done with this chapter! XD
