Sakura sighed as she sat atop a tree, caressing both her charas she tried to relax as much as she could. She had found another hiding place, seeing as that her usual favorite spot had been compromised by a certain cat eared creep. She was not quite ready yet to see that weirdo at the moment.
"Well well well, what do we have here." Sakura didn't even try to hide her groan, quickly hiding her two chibis in her hair, she tightened her hold of her bag as she looked down at the devil himself. "Do you have anything better to do than antagonize lower classmen and little kids?" Sakura questioned out loud, flipping down her branch as she looked at him dispassionately behind her bangs.
"Aw, and here I thought you would be happy to see me Saku-chan." He teased, a smirk on his lips as he took a step closer to her. Sakura tensed, ready to fight him off at any moment as she sneered at him. "Oh yes, I am so happy to be once more in the presence of a creepy cat-pedo." She deadpanned, eyes flashing dangerously behind her pink hair.
Ikuto scowled at her words, continuing his walk to her until he was barely a few feet away. "Now that isn't nice to say Saku-chan, you might, just hurt my feelings." He purred out, hand caressing her cheek. Sakura smiled at him, her hand swiftly coming up as she pinched a pressure point on his palm, right between his thumb and index finger. He flinched, quickly pulling his hand away as he rubbed the sore spot the pink haired little vixen had created.
"What did I say about touching me, Ikuto-kun." She feigned a teasing tone, yet her eyes narrowed dangerously as they seemed to darken into a forest green.
Ikuto was slightly dazed, it was his first time seeing her eyes since she always seemed to hide them behind her curtain of pink hair. They were a beautiful shade of green, regal in their dark color as they seemed to pin him in a predatory manner. He had never seen green eyes quite the same shade as hers before.
Though, he was taken out of his trance by a voice calling out to him. "Ikuto! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Suddenly a girl burst in, she was wearing the school's uniform, though just like Ikuto she had a cross necklace on. She was quite beautiful, with blonde pigtails and that reached to her mid-thighs and shining blue eyes the same shade as the male before her.
'Great, now who is this girl.' Sighing, Sakura looked away from the girl as she turned to Ikuto. He seemed to have a slightly irritated expression as he turned to the girl who called out to him. "Not now Utau." Huh, so they are close. Hoping this was her opportunity to escape, Sakura took discreet steps away from the two, sadly her movement managed to catch the attention of the blonde female as she looked straight at her.
"Who is this?" Utau demanded, blue eyes glaring at Sakura as the pinkette inwardly despaired. Great, there goes her chance of escape. Just as she was about to say that she was a nobody Ikuto cut in. "Just a friend of mine." Giving him a shocked stare, Sakura gritted her teeth as she quelled the urge to stomp her foot in anger. Oh, hells no, she would rather burn in seven hells before she was considered his friend.
Yet before she could say as such she was once more interrupted, this time by Utau. "Ugh why are you friends with some weird brat!" Feeling her anger spike, Sakura glared at the female as she felt her inner killing intent flashing. The girl in question stilled, looking at Sakura with widened eyes as a sort of cold aurora swirled around the younger pinkette. "I would advise not to badmouth people you hold no knowledge of...Utau was it? Now if you would both excuse me; I would rather not associate myself with people such as yourselves."
With those words Sakura turned promptly and left, leaving the two teenagers as she walked to her classroom. She was used to being badmouthed, but for some reason this time she had felt herself say what she always wanted to say to those bullies.
Looking down, she saw that both of her charas had come out of her mop of hair and had taken seats on her shoulder. Looking at her slightly grinning wolf chara, Sakura sighed as she poked her forehead lightly. "That was your doing wasn't it." Sakura murmured, walking down the hallway as she once more avoided the students walking around. Mizuki merely nodded her head sheepishly as Sakura sighed, though she could not feel any annoyance by the smaller charas action.
Rubbing Mizuki's head to show that she wasn't mad, Sakura continued walking to class, set on not thinking about her third encounter the cat eared annoyance.
Sakura was walking around the streets, her charas had wanted to see the town since they wished to know where they would be living from now on. Sakura, while not one to use her free time to walk around, had agreed. She just could not say no to those adorable chibi eyes, no matter how much she wished she could.
This charas were really manipulating her, but the pinkette could not make herself truly care of the fact. Suddenly, Sakura felt a strange energy close by. Narrowing her eyes, Sakura looked to the direction that she had felt the strange energy. "Sakura, I feel an X egg." Mizuki suddenly exclaimed, causing Sakura to look at her Chara in confusion. Thought before she could ask her wolf chara to explain herself, both Yuki and Mizuki suddenly started floating off to the direction the energy had come from.
Cursing, Sakura quickly ran after her two troublemakers as she climbed over the fence of what she remembered to be Seiyo Academy. Inwardly hoping that she won't get in trouble for trespassing, Sakura continued to follow her little chibis until they reached the open field in which the energy emanated from.
Much to the pinkette's shock, she found Amu, looking to have transformed back into the magical cheerleader of sorts, fighting what looked to be a black egg with a white X on it. Narrowing her eyes, Sakura winced as Amu was thrown back by the dark attack the egg had thrown at her. "We have to help her." Mizuki exclaimed, Sakura couldn't help but agree as Amu screamed in pain as a shadow like attack once more hit her causing her to fly into a tree.
She saw the younger pinkette slump as she whimpered from the pain. Sakura felt something inside of her break as she gritted her teeth in anger. "Don't give up Amu!" Sakura found herself screaming, causing the other pinkette to look towards her in shock. "Don't ever give up! Even when the going gets tough fight till you succeed!" With those words Sakura found that her egg pendant began to glow brightly. Mizuki smiled as Sakura felt the light envelope her.
Her surroundings suddenly changed as the world around her turned black, beautiful white stars scattered across the night sky as a silver moon glowed from above her. Sakura smiled brightly as she held the glowing pendant in both hands, holding it against her chest. "My Soul, shine bright!"
Mizuki winked as she was once more enveloped in her egg, the egg then going to where Sakura was holding the pendant and seeming to sink inside Sakura's chest.
Her pendant glowed a silvery color as a dark grey moon now appeared atop the once clear egg pendant. Sakura's hair flew around her as silver sparkles covered her whole body. She ran both hands through her hair taking away the silver sparkles leaving pink locks with Silver highlights along with two pink wolf ears with silver coloring the tips.
Sakura then leaped to the sky, her hands seeming to reach for the silver moon as the silver sparkles disperse from her upper body leaving behind a grey halter top that ended above her bally button decorated with black stars and a black leather jacket.
She landed on her feet as her bottom half burst in silver sparkles leaving behind mid-thigh biker shorts, stars started to twirl down her bottom leaving behind a bushy wolf tail. Sakura then clapped her hands as white stars spined around her arms leaving behind black fingerless gloves. Sakura back flipped landing on her hands as white stars twirled around her legs leaving behind black leather ankle boots with fishnet socks that halfway up her leg.
She straightened her posture as she blinked, silver eye shadow was left in her eyes as she smile. Her hair fell in waves as she winked with her left eye as her eye as bangs covered it. she jumped back three times as she did a pose, her left hand on her hip as she did a peace sign with her right, tilting her head to the right. "Character Transform; Moonlight Soul"
Amu stared at her in shock, the transformation was swift, seeming to take but a few seconds in the real world as in front of the younger pinkette now stood a fully transformed Sakura. The older pinkette narrowed her eyes, looking down at her now longer and sharper nails visable from her fingerless gloves.
She brushed her tongue lightly to her now sharper teeth as she couldn't help but smile lightly. "Huh, well I guess this will be useful." Turning to the egg, Sakura inwardly wondered how the hell she was going to keep that thing occupied.
'Use our attack!" Sakura had to stop herself from jumping as she heard the voice of Mizuki inside her head. 'We are now one Saku-chan!' She heard the excited voice of Mizuki exclaimed, Sakura couldn't help but smile at her excited voice. 'How do I gain that attack you are telling me about?'
'Call out Crescent blade' Sakura smiled in gratitude as she turned her attention back to the black egg that seemed to now be readying for another attack. "Crescent Blade!" She yelled out as her pendant shined once more. Stars twirled around her, forming a silver shining object. Sakura grabbed hold of the stick like object that formed in front of her as the light soon died out.
In her hands, Sakura found herself holding a scythe. Smiling, Sakura twirled the dangerous weapon before pointing the blade to the egg. "Let's dance." Sakura said with a smirk as she ran towards the egg. "Amu, I'll keep it busy. In the meanwhile, be ready to change it back to normal."
Amu seemed to snap out of her daze as she nodded determinedly, Sakura smiled at her slightly before turning back to the floating egg. Now that she was able to pay more attention to her surroundings, she took notice of the young boy that seemed to be just under the egg. Hmmm, must be the egg's person then.
Narrowing her eyes, Sakura tightened her hold on her weapon as she leaped up into the air and towards the egg. It attacked her with the same shadow like thing that it had used on Amu, countering the attack by spinning her scythe quickly, Sakura then slashed at the egg with the blade of her scythe, the egg flew backwards, dodging the attack as it threw more shadow attacks at her.
Sakura flipped backwards back to the ground, leaping up again in order to dodge another attack as her eyes narrowed. Twirling her scythe, Sakura flew to the egg once more as she hit it with the butt of her scythe, using the pole to block more attacks as she swiped at the egg with the blade.
Finally, she was able to hit the egg with the side of her scythe as it went downwards to the ground. "Now Amu!" Sakura yelled out as she flipped out of the way. Amu then took her place, hands forming a heart as she looked at the egg with determination. "Negative Heart; Lock on!" Suddenly bright pink light formed around her as Heart shaped lights traveled to where the heart was at, causing it to still. "Open Heart!" Amu finished off, Sakura watched in amazement as the egg cried out one last "Useless" Before being covered in a bright light, leaving behind a beige colored egg with a design in the front.
Sighing, Sakura leaned on her sigh as she looked to where Yuki was. She saw that the small chara was floating right on top of her bag, most likely taking care of the still unborn chara egg. Smiling, Sakura started walking over to her chara, that was until she felt a force suddenly hit her.
Steeling herself, Sakura managed not to stumble as she looked down at the form that had knocked into her. She saw that it was Amu, a smile on her face as she seemed to be hugging her. Suddenly, as if a spell was broken, the shorter pinkette's expression turned into horror as she quickly let go of Sakura.
"Sakura-san, I-I'm…I…" Guessing that it was because of the character transformation, Sakura smiled lightly as she patted the girl gently. "It's fine. You did amazing Amu-chan." Sakura inwardly winced at using the familiar honorific, but she hoped that it would show that she didn't mind being treated with familiarity. She wasn't truly sure why it was that she treated the girl so gently, but Sakura decided to contemplate the thought in a later date.
"Hinamaru!" Suddenly a group of students ran into the scene, all seeming to wear some sort of capes as they stopped close to the two girls.
"That was amazing Amu-tan." One girl, seeming to be the youngest, exclaimed with a grin, she had short brown hair tied into two ponytails with red bows and brown eyes.
"Hello there, are you a friend of Hinamori-san?" The student she remembered to be Hitori asked, looking at Sakura with indiscreet curiosity.
"I didn't know there was someone else who could character transform, heck I didn't even know you could do it Hinamori!" Another male exclaimed, this one seeming to be the oldest of the bunch. He was slightly taller than her, had oak brown hair and green eyes brighter than her own.
Before Sakura could respond, the young boy that had been under the control of the egg groaned as he started to awaken, almost on instinct Sakura felt herself go back to normal as Mizuki flew out from seemingly inside of her. Amu seemed to have already de-transformed, now looking at the boy with concealed worry.
Smiling at the pinkette, Sakura nudged her to the laying boy. Unsure, Amu nodded as she walked towards the boy, still looking uncertain.
Turning back to the group, Sakura inclined her head as she looked at each one of them. "Hello, my name is Haruno Sakura. I am a first year in Shirubāsukī highschool, I am also a...friend of Amu's" Sakura introduced herself. She was unsure of whether the other pinkette saw her as a friend but decided to introduce herself as such.
The blonde-haired male cleared his throat, deciding to introduce himself first. "Hello, my name is Tadase Hotori." Suddenly a small chibi floated next to him; he had a somber expression on his face and radiated pure egoism that it rivaled that of Sasuke and Neji's own. The small chibi had light purple hair with confident blue eyes, a small crown placed proudly atop his head and a cape flowing behind him. "I am Kiseki commoners. Todose's Guardian Chara." Sakura felt her eye twitch at his name for her.
Before Sakura could further contemplate hurting the egoistic chara, the tall blue haired girl started introducing herself, brown eyes glinting ever so slightly. "My name is Nadeshiko Fujisaki, current Queen's Chair." Next to her floated an elegant looking chara. The chara was a beautiful chibi with long, purple hair put up in an elegant ponytail with two cherry blossom pins. She also wore an elegant traditional kimono the color white with purple staining the bottom along with scattered light purple flowers. "My name is Temari, I am Nadeshiko's Guardian Chara." The small chibi said with a smile, back perfectly straight and her stance radiating beauty and discipline. The name 'Temari' made flashes of an equally elegant beautiful blonde with great confidence in her soul flash behind Sakura's eyes, yet she pushed these memories away as she turned her attention to the rest.
The brown-haired male that had talked to her grinned, flashing a peace sign at her. "Name's Kukai Souma." Sitting on his shoulder was an equally grinning small chibi dressed quite casually. The Chibi guardian had bright green hair sticking out in different directions with shining brown eyes and what looked like a sport's headband with a star on it. "I'm Daichi, his chara."
Finally, the young girl smiled giddily as she introduced herself. "I'm Yaya Yuki!" She exclaimed in excitement. Sakura felt herself slightly pull back by her enthusiastic nature. The image of a certain blond male with equal enthusiasm flashed in her head, but once more she pushed it aside as she watched the small, baby like chara that sat atop of Yaya's head. The baby like chara had darkish orange hair in two ponytail and light blue eyes. She was dressed in a baby outfit with a pacifier in her mouth. The baby chara waved enthusiastically, that akin to its partner. "This is Pepe, she's my Guardian character."
Before anything more could be said, they heard Amu squeak slightly. Turning around, Sakura had to keep herself from giggling as she saw Amu push the young male, seeming to have developed a crush on her, hard enough to send him flying off to oblivion.
Sakura started walking to were Yuki was, grabbing hold of her bag as the white haired chara took a seat on her left shoulder, Mizuki already sitting on her right shoulder. "Why don't you introduce yourselves." Sakura murmured, motioning the Charas to the group. Mizuki grinned, waving at the as she floated in front of Sakura's face, flashing the group of younger students two peace signs with a toothy grin, showing off sharp teeth. "Hello! Name's Mizuki, Sakura's Chara."
She then floated to Yuki, who had grabbed hold of Sakura's locks with a timid blush on her cheeks. Mizuki nudged Yuki, causing the smaller chara to blush brighter as she looked downwards. "I-I'm Yuki, also Sakura's Chara." She then ducked into Sakura's hair, causing Sakura to slightly giggle.
"You have two charas!" Yaya exclaimed, looking at Sakura with wonder. Sakura smiled, but before she could say anything Mizuki butted in. "Nope, we have a third sister, but she is still sleeping." Sakura shook her head in exasperation but smiled in acknowledgement at the younger kids as she nodded her head to show that such was true.
"So, you have three charas, Just like Hinamaru" Fujusaki murmured, her expression showing unadulterated shock. "That's right, I met Amu whilst running away from a creep that wanted to take away my charas." Sakura explained, rubbing Mizuki slightly as the small wolf chara sat on her shoulder once more.
"Ikuto." Hitori suddenly said, voice serious as he glared at nothing in particular. Sakura nodded absentmindedly, looking down at her bag as she noticed that Amu was now joining them.
"Well it was nice meeting all of you, but I have to go now." Turning to Amu, Sakura smiled as she took out a pen and paper. Quickly writing something down, she motioned towards Amu, who accepted the piece of paper. "There, if you need anything you have my phone number and address there." Again, wondering why she was doing all of this for a practical stranger, Sakura sighed as she patted the girl atop her head one final time.
"Be careful, you know where to find me if you get into any trouble." With those words Sakura turned, wolf ears appearing atop her head as a tail appeared from her bottom. Inwardly thanking Mizuki, Sakura leaped into the air as she tried to control her new power, leaping away from the group of children as she made her way home.
"Hope that tomorrow turns out normal." Sakura murmured into the wind, inwardly cringing.
She jinxed it, didn't she.
