Hime: A big thanks to Person, Ern Estine 13624 and AngelHeartsX ! Thanks so much for the reviews! They mean a lot to me! :D Looking forward to more reviews from you guys and hopefully from other readers as well!
Amber: Hime does not own anything.
Kiseki raised a hand causing Christa to scowl.
"What is it Kiddy King?" she asks, annoyed.
"I want to know how is it you know information about us. Like about Pepe's and Daichi's effects on their bearers for Chara Changes and how you knew Kukai was a jock."
The witch chara was impressed a second time, she never expected anyone to notice so she answered him.
"I have been residing in my bearer's heart for a long time. By right, I was supposed to be born years ago but her mother's death happened thus my birth was delayed. However, from inside Amber; I have seen, heard and felt everything that she had gone through since Amber's dream had conceived me."
Kiseki nodded in understanding at her answer.
"Then what happened to Ran, Miki, Suu and Dia?" Kusu Kusu asks, the first time she had been speaking all day.
Amber smiled sadly, "They went back into my heart."
Almost immediately, the other teens in the room all looked up in surprise by what she said.
"Why?" Nagi asks softly. "What happened to them?"
"They said I did not need them and I should focus my energy on helping the organization."
Eru was sad, she lost her first real friends and Il was not happy either hence she directed her anger towards the witch chara, "I rather those noisy 4 over you any day."
Christa snorted and folded her arms at what Il said.
"How secret is your military organization?" asks Daichi.
"Well...the local authorities do acknowledge us by our uniforms. See this symbol on my jacket? People adorning the Rose Cross symbol on their official uniform are to be treated with respect and given complete clearance to any investigation they see fit."
"It's pretty!" Kusu Kusu says causing Amber to smile.
"Thank you"
"Ne Amber-nya"
The girl blinked at the name, it was the first time anyone had actually called her by her name since she told them.
"Yes Yoru?"
"Why did you become Hinamori Amu in the first place nya?"
Christa sighed deeply at the question and turned to look at her bearer who closed her eyes. Timmy had placed one of his bat wings on his mistress's face, showing concern.
Amber took a deep breath before speaking, her eyes still closed.
"On my 8th birthday, my mother was killed right in front of me. I did not take my mother's death easily. I was put on bedrest, had violent fits and so on. A couple of months later, my father could not bear to see me like that anymore so he sent me away, helped me create an enchantment to change my appearance. I was Hinamori Amu for a good 4 years. The first 2 years, I spent the time recuperating trying to find some solace. Then I came to Seiyo and I met the Guardians."
Amber opened her eyes and formed a warm smile, a smile so warm that it nearly melted her audience's hearts.
"The world of shugo chara happened. I got Ran, Miki, Suu and eventually Dia. I became part of a student council. I had an actual fun school life even though there was stuff like Easter and X Eggs that made things a little upsetting but that was perfectly okay because I got to fight; use my reflexes, run, dodge and even attack. I felt alive and I have you guys to thank for that so thank you so much for giving me the best 2 years I have ever had in my entire life."
Christa smiled genuinely, "I know I have been a bitch since we met but I do know this, I am very thankful for everything all of you had done. All of you thought Amber about love, how to trust, believe in good and the beauty of friendship. Thank you. All of you."
Tadase smiled, "Your welcome Amber-chan. You too gave us the best 2 years of our lives too. The Guardians had more fun, more amazing adventures than we ever had since you came into our lives so we thank you too."
Everyone seated with Tadase nodded their heads too and Amber blinked her eyes several times to try and not to cry.
"Ahh to hell with it!"
She got out of the chair and all of her friends welcomed her with opened arms. Amber, Utau and Rima all cried during the beautiful moments of their reconciliation. Ikuto hugged Amber tight and apologized for what he said. The redhead kissed his cheek, forgiving him. Kukai hugged his little sister tight and whispered in her how much he missed her and she told she felt the same. Tadase and Nagi hugged her tightly as well with wide smiles as well. Christa came over with a handkerchief and passed it to her bearer.
"Thank you Christa"
The witch chara nodded, "Timmy ate the chair already as I assume the questions are over already."
"No actually they're not" says Kukai, sliding an arm around the redhead's shoulders.
Amber frowned, "What is it?"
"Why did you become Naomi Knight?"
"Ahhh, well when we found out that our enemies had infiltrated Seiyo Middle School and Azuba Academy, we were sent to find out what they were doing and eventually we discovered they were tailing you guys."
"Why?" asks Rhythm.
Amber looked pained as she answered, "They found out I was in disguise as Hinamori Amu so they tried to find out information and see whether I still kept in contact with anyone to find out where I was."
"But why us?" Kiseki questions.
"Well I'm guessing was because of my social media. Majority of my pictures and mentions, it included all the Guardians in my grade, Kukai and Ikuto because he can't help photobombing my selfies. That's how they probably eliminated who to follow and who were closest to me."
Utau nodded in understanding and then turned to her brother, "Why do you bomb her selfies?"
Ikuto smirked, "Why not?"
Amber rolled her eyes.
Typical Ikuto...
"Hey, if your parents are so cool and stuff, are you like them too?" Rima asks suddenly.
Amber frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I mean like from we heard earlier, you sound like a good fighter and a magic user. What else are you good at?"
"Oh that. I am a combat specialist and a katana user like my mother. My dad and I are magic users but I try not to use my magic too much though because it'll make me lazy if I rely on it too much which my father does."
Rima snorted, "Your life sounds like a shoujo manga."
Amber laughed.
It sure does sound like one!
Although...it was all very real...very much so.
Hime: Thanks for reading and please review! :)
