Chapter 35

Emi perked up. "X eggs alert."

I sighed. "One hundred fifty three again?"

Emi cocked her head. "Feels like it, but..."

"There's some even more darker than X eggs. It... feels strange. But it feels something like Majyo," Kina continued.

"Majyo?" I asked. My eyes widened. "Akumu!" I exclaimed. "It must've been that her egg turned into an X egg! Let's go!"

"~May I do the honors?~" Kazu sang.

I nodded. "Sure. You never got to chara nari with me, anyways. It's only fair this way."

"~Alrighty then!~" she sang, smiling. "~Shizuko no kokoro: Unlock!~"

The area around me glowed white, and Kazu returned to her egg, and went into my chest. My body glowed a bright yellow. My hair was rearranged, so that my hair was put down. The glow stopped, and I wore a dress, similar to the one that Utau was wearing on the poster, as well as an arm-length white sparkly glove. A pair of headphones appeared on my head, which was shaped like a musical note. I used one of my hands to hold onto one of the headphones, and put the other on my chest, singing out in peace. (Don't ask me what she was singing, because I have no clue... :P) "Chara Nari: Musical Rhythm!"

"Boku no kokoro: Unlock!" Ryuu shouted. "Chara Nari: Friendly Angel!"

"Boku no kokoro: Unlock!" Jack shouted. "Chara Nari: Magic Jack!"

Jack got on his origami bird, and Ryuu flew up. I stared at them from above. "Umm... A little help here?" I asked.

Ryuu swooped down, ready to pick me up, but Jack used a bunch of colorful scarves tied together and made them wrap around me, dragging me up into his origami bird. Jack caught me, smiled, and said, "What I lovely princess I picked up." He kissed my forehead.

I blushed like crazy, and looked away. "Y-Yeah..."

~Ryuu glared murderously at Jack during the whole flight, and later, when they get to the X egg sight...~

I jumped off of Jack's origami bird. "Thank you!" I shouted. "Do-re-mi-fa Microphone!" I called out, as a colorful microphone appeared in my hand. "What?" I asked myself, staring blankly at the microphone. "Wh-What am I supposed to do with this?"

Kazu appeared next to me. "~You're supposed to sing.~"

"Wh-What does it do?"

"~It makes the X eggs sleep or purified, depending on the emotions put in the song. Give it a try,~" she said, fading away.

I nodded. "Uhmmm... What should I sing..." I muttered. "Oh day man to tree? By the star sparkled hammer...?" (This is the U.S. National anthem. And yes, I made those mistakes on purpose...)Why do I have a feeling that I'm doing it wrong... I thought.

"MURIII!" they shouted, getting even more fired up, as if my horrible singing made them happier.

"~That's all wrong!~" Kazu sang, appearing in my side again. "~Sing from your heart! Like you did in the End of Year Performance!~" she cheered, then faded away again.

I sighed. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and sang:

"Kinou to wa chigau jibun ni (Surely I can become a different person)
Kitto nareru yo HOPPU SUTEPPU de JANPU (Than I was yesterday with a hop, a step, and a jump)

KIMI to deatte kara mainichi DOTABATA nanda (Because I met you, every day has been noisy)
Warattari okottari abaretari TAIHEN (Laughing, being angry, making a fuss–it's been awful!)
KIMI to deaeta kara mainichi WAKUWAKU nanda ( Because I met you, every day has been exciting)
Subettari korondari sore mo tanoshii (Slipping, falling–even that's fun!)
Sou ieba ima made chanto ienakatta KOTOBA ga aru nda (That reminds me…until now, I haven't properly told you the words I wanted to say)

Arigatou ookiku KANSHA! (Thank you! Thanks a lot!)
Terekusai kedo kokoro kara omotteru yo ( It's awkward, but the thought is from the heart)
Arigatou zenbu ni KANSHA (Thank you! Thanks for everything!)
Sunao ni ieru sore mo KIMI no okage kana (I can say that honestly, thanks to you)

Dareka to kurabete mo nannimo nara nai nda (I shouldn't be compared to someone else)
Kattari maketari toka IMI wakannaishi (I don't know the meaning of things such as winning or losing)
Dare ni mo nai mono wo dare demo motteru nda (Not everyone has everything)
Sore ga wakaru no ni sukoshi jikan ga kakeru (It takes some time to understand that)
Dakette ki ga tsuita no wa KIMI ga soba ni ite kureta kara da ne (I just noticed it because you're with me, right?)

Kinou to wa chigau jibun ni (Surely I can become a different person)
Kitto nareru yo KIMI to ireba sou omou ( Than I was yesterday, because you're in my thoughts)
Arigatou ima iitakute (Thank you! Now I want to say)
Sora ni mukatte HOPPU SUTEPPU de JANPU (Hop, step, and jump toward the sky)

Arigatou ookiku KANSHA! (Thank you! Thanks a lot!)
Terekusai kedo kokoro kara omotteru yo (It's awkward, but the thought is from the heart)
Arigatou zenbu ni KANSHA! (Thank you! Thanks for everything!)
Sunao ni ieru sore mo KIMI no okage kana ( I can say that honestly, thanks to you)
Kinou to wa chigau jibun ni (Surely I can become a different person)
Kitto nareru yo KIMI to ireba sou omou (Than I was yesterday, because you're in my thoughts)
Arigatou ima iitakute (Thank you! Now I want to say)
Sora ni mukatte HOPPU SUTEPPU de JANPU (Hop, step, and jump toward the sky)"

I opened my eyes. All of the X eggs were purified, and were circling around me.

"That was amazing!" Jack shouted, and hugged me. "You deserve this," he announced, kissing me on the forehead. He smirked. "Next time the kiss'll be somewhere else," he said, pointing at my lips. I blushed like crazy, turning beet red.

"Shizuko! Jack!" Ryuu shouted. "Look!" He pointed at a purified egg, which had a piece of paper on it. He read the words on the paper. "Stay tuned for more," he read. "The show didn't even start yet."

"What does that mean?" I wondered.

"Majyo!" Emi exclaimed. "It has to be it: It's Majyo's presence!"

"But much, much more negative. An X egg's feeling isn't as negative as this," Kina muttered.

"Something bad's gonna happen," Tsukai agreed. "Reaaaaaally bad."
