A/N:Mel-chan is here for the 5th chapter! The BBQ! As you all will see, there is not much of AmuxKukai moments.This and the previous chapter mostly reflects on Airi and Kukai's friendship? As most of you have guessed, Airi may or may not steal Kukai away from Amu. But you have to read the next chapter to find out! Anyway, Airi is a billionaire's daughter and model AND SINGER. Wow. Enjoy this Chapter now! :D

Note: This chapter doesn't have much KukaixAmu moments! And I just realised in the previous chapter, I made Kukai sound REALLY like Ikuto. Ah shit, thanks for reminding me .. . It just came to me and I just wrote it. Heh.

Ohyea, It's been long right? I present to you people, CHAPTER5 ! :DD

Chapter 5: BBQ Day!

Airi's POV

"Young mistress, it's time for school." Helga called out.

Helga is one of my maids in the mansion. I have several servants, but Helga was like my sister.

"Helga!" I complained. "Didn't I ask you to call me Airi?"

"If you get prepared for school now, maybe I will." she said, smiling. "Your chauffeur is already downstairs waiting, you'd better hurry."

I rolled my eyes, I know she wouldn't . But I got ready anyway.

"Pipi, would you get some stuff to fit this yucky uniform?" I cried out to my 'fashion manager'.

She ran along and got me my lace boots, a black diamond hairclip, my bangles and my necklace which held .. the Genesis Lock and Key. "How do I look, guys?" I ask my four charas.

"Fabulous!" "Perfect." "Gorgeous." "Extremely fabulous, perfect and gorgeous!" Pipi finished off.

I was wearing my uniform, but my red checkered tie was hanging around my neck. The uniform was black with , and the skirt was checkered red and black, just like elementary school. I wore my lace boots which went up to the bottom of my knees. My hair was tied up in a single ponytail at the side and clipped with my diamond hairclip, my bangles was hanging on my right wrist, and on my neck, the genesis lock and key. "Lets go!" I cried out to my charas as I ran down to the limo.

Amu's POV

"What was it..? I really wonder." I muttered under my breath. The lock and the key..

School was about to start and I was still in my pyjamas! "Miki, I need help. And quick!"

"Drew, draw, drawn!" Miki said out as she waved her paintbrush. I was in my middle school uniform. "Thanks Miki! Now let's go before I'm late!" I said running to school.

Outside the school

"Huh? What's the crowd for?" I whispered to my charas as I saw a whole group outside the school shouting and screaming.

Gosh, what are these people here screaming for? It's still so early in the morning. Everybody's gonna start complaining.

"Move." I told the group of people infront of me. An empty line was immediately formed infront of me. Well, being a guardian had some pretty good privileges. I stared at the person at the other end of the line. "Shirabuki Airi? and all the Guardians too?" I asked, confused.

I walked towards the center of the crowd. "So, your the commotion around here?" I asked Airi. Infact, in my heart, I was actually TREMBLING. I am talking to a billionaire's daughter a.k.a model and a singer!

"Gomen, I didn't mean to." she said, giving one of her sad faces. Then, the whole crowd just went "Awwwww."

"The Guardians will lead you to your class, 7th Grade Star Class." Tadase-kun said, smiling. That was the smile I actually went gaga for last time, heart shapes appearing in my eyes. But it didn't seem to have any effect on Airi.

"CHOTTO-MATTE!" a voice called out. Everybody turned back. "Saaya Yamabuki?" All the Guardians said in unison as we sweatdropped.

Too bad. Airi didn't even turn back, she didn't care. She just continued walking on her own. The Guardians had to brisk walk to catch up with her.

I turned to the brown-headed boy. "Kukai-koi! I missed you so much." I whispered, holding his hand for a second and then letting go. "We'll meet later at the Royal Garden later okay?" I smiled at him.

Nagihiko, Tadase and I went into the classroom with her (duh, they're in the same class.) while Yaya and Kukai went back to their classes.

"As everybody knows, the Shirabuki's family, daughter, model and singer. Shirabuki Airi." the sensei introduced. "She will be joining our class from today onwards."

Ran signalled, "3,2,1.." ..and the whole class cheered madly.

"Airi, you can choose your seat." the sensei told her. Everybody was asking her to sit with them, but she ignored them. She walked towards the seat beside Nagihiko's. "I'll sit here then. Is it okay for you Nagihiko?" she said smiling at him.

"E-erm.. O-okay.." Nagihiko stuttered. "Heh, Nagihiko, your blushing." I whispered into his ear. He turned redder and redder by the second.

Break Time

All the guardians were assembled in the Royal Garden. They were laughing and playing. When they were suddenly interrupted..

"Anybody here?!" a voice called out.

Airi's POV

"This school is so big I don't even know where I'm going!" I complainedas I walked.

"Need my help Airi?" Nene asked me. I shook my head. "No thankyou. People would be staring at me, wondering why I have a pair of ears and a tail." I sweatdropped.

"Well, Airi-chan! Let's chara change!" Zizi shouted in glee. I nodded my head.

A blue heart overlapped my diamond clip. "Jump,Rise,Fly!" she said as blue miniature wings appeared on my hands and legs. "Wow, there's a really big building there." "Let's head towards there then, Airi-chan!" Pipi shouted.

"Anybody here?!" I shouted as I opened the huge glass doors. "KYAAA, It's so beautiful in here!" I said as I looked around the garden, not noticing the guardians who were standing right behind the fountain which was in the middle.

"Like our little garden, Airi?" I looked up, to see the guardians.

"Hey Guardians!" I looked at them, smiling. "What are you guys doing? Paperwork?"

"Eto .. Hai." Tadase was the first one to react, smiling at her back. "Anyway Airi, we were discussing about you being a Guardian. The Star's Chair."

"Me? A Guardian?" I pointed at myself."Well, I could I guess. But.. that means .. PAPERWORK?!" I shouted. (TT)

"It's okay! I'll help you." Tadase and Nagihiko said at the same time. They then stared at each other.

"Ano.. It's okay. I'll just need Kukai's help. " I said, winking at him. "By the way.. Kukai.." I said as I leaned against him. "It seems that the Joker's chair is your girlfriend eh?" I breathed into his ear. I could see his whole face turn red. "Don't tell anyone pleaseee, Airi." he whispered. I nodded my head. I took a glance at his girlfriend. She looks annoyed. Ahahaha.

"So it's settled then, Airi, Guardian Star's Chair." said Tadase. "Anyway." he looked at me. "We're having a BBQ party tonight. Want to come?"

"BBQ party?! Hm.. I can BBQ anytime I want. But its okay. I'm going! Where's the venue?" I asked him.

"Actually.." he looked at me with a sad look. "We haven't decided yet. That's why we're assembled here to think, we're going to announce it to the 7th and 8th graders later at the Assembly.."

"Hm.. Why not have it at my backyard? Im sure Daddy will allow."

"You mean Shirabuki Natsume?!" Yaya shouted as she jumped infront of me.

"Hai. Hold on for awhile okay?" I said as I picked up my phone to dial for Daddy's number.

"RingRing.. Hello. This is Shirabuki Natsume."

"Daddy! Airi here. I was wondering whether I could invite my school's 7th and 8th grade over at our backyard for a BBQ party?"

"Sure thing princess. Anyway, I'm going overseas with Mummy for two weeks. So, you can have the house to yourself, just don't mess things up. I'll make sure Helga takes care of you. Got it?"

"Yes Daddy.." I looked down with a gloomy face. "ByeBye."

"My father allowed. I guess I'll be seeing you guys during Assembly." I said as I ran out of the Royal Garden with my charas following me.

Why doesn't daddy care that everytime he goes out, Im neglected? I'm always left alone in the house.. Nobody really cares about me. I hid at a corner and cried.

Kukai's POV

Airi.. There's something wrong with her..

"Daichi. Chara change." I whispered to him. "I'll be going first. Ja ne.." I waved my hand as I ran out and followed Airi.

Airi where are you?! Don't tell me..

.:Flashback:.

I was lost in the woods. I couldn't find my way out.. But I managed not to cry. Then, I heard a weeping sound coming from the bushes.

"Why does Mummy and Daddy keep neglecting me?! Toshte(Why)?!" I heard the person shouting.

I pry opened the bushes and stared at the girl. She looked like an angel. But why is she crying? Angels bring smiles to peoples faces, not cry..

"Hush hush.." I said as I hugged the girl in my arms. "Don't cry okay?" she looked up at me and wiped away her tears.

"Don't go." she said as she hugged me tighter.

"What is your name? I'm Souma Kukai. Don't cry.. we're going to get out of here." I said as I got ready to piggyback her out.

"I-I.. Don't leave me, onii-tan." She closed her eyes and kissed my lips. An Innocent kiss.

I stood there stunned. I was kissed by an angel.. My first kiss.

"I-I know the way out of here.." she said, trying to catch her breath. I looked at her stunned.. She pointed the way and we were out of the forest in minutes.

"Kukai!" "Airi!" I heard our parents call out to us. "Onii-tan! Don't leave me." she said hugging me tightly.

From that day onwards, me and Airi became friends, and so did our parents.

.:End of Flashback:.

Airi.. It's her parent problem again..

"Airi!" I called out as I saw her crying.

"Kukaiiiii!" she jumped up and hugged me. "Daddy and Mummy is going overseas again.. They're never home to be with me."

"Don't cry Airi." I comforted her. "Even if your parents are not there, I'm here for you."

"Really?" she asked, looking at me with her teary eyes. "Arigato Kukai." I said as I rested on his shoulder.

"Come on Airi. Let's go for the assembly." I grabbed her hand and ran to the hall, pulling her along.

Assembly

Normal POV

"As the King's chair, I would like to announce the new guardian. Star's Chair, Shirabuki Airi." all Airi's fangirls and fanboys (almost the whole school) cheered madly.

"The BBQ party tonight for the 7th and 8th grade will be held at my house's backyard!" a smiling Airi said in the microphone. "Wear your best and remember to bring some snacks along!"

Amu's POV

Hinamori's Residence

Gahhh. I forgot to ask Airi about the lock and the key AGAIN. I sighed in my thoughts.

"Amu-chan! No time for daydreaming! We need to get you an outfit ASAP!" Miki cried as she kicked my thought bubble.

".. Miki. Shoot me with your designs!" I told her. "Drew, Draw,Drawn!" she chanted as she waved her paintbrush.

I was wearing a pink spaghetti strapped top with black polkadots on it, and the words 'Spice me Up' printed on it, and a pair of pure white hot pants. My hair was let down and there was a 'X' clip on the side of my hair. I wore boots which was up to my ankle.

"Arigato Miki!" I smiled at her sweetly and I saw a blush creep up her cheek. "No problem, Amu-chan!"

"Hold on while I call Kukai" I told them as I lay on the bed.

"Ring Ring Ring.. MushiMushi. Kukai here!"

"Kukai? Amu here! Can you come here to bring me to Airi's? I'm afraid of losing my way."

"You needn't ask, Amu-koi! I'm already here!" I walked over to the balcony and gazed down. Kukai was already there.

"Um okay! Wait there!" I shouted across the balcony as I raced down to the door.

Kukai's POV

I think I'm going to faint. I thought to myself, staring at Amu's outfit.

"So, how do I look?" she asked me.

"Stunning. Absolutely stunning." I smiled at her. "Shall we go now my fair lady?" I said bowing.

"Yes my prince." she took my hand and we started dancing (and jumping) randomly. We were both laughing happily away.

Then, I lead her to Orchard Alley. There was only one mansion here. And it was straight ahead of us. It was humongous. The dream house anybody would want to live in.

But I guess that if you don't have happiness, living in such a fancy house is no use at all.. I thought as I was reminded of Airi.

"I think you know where it is now." I grinned at her. We were welcomed by many maids and servants of the house.

"Souma-kun. Glad to have you come." A maid called out as she approached us. "No way, Helga?" I grinned. "Nice to see you again!"

"Nice to meet you again too. Please come in. The Young mistress has been waiting for you and the lady over here." She said gesturing us in.

We were led into a corner, which led to many many different doors. I could hear Amu wow-ing.

"I hope you still remember the way, Souma-kun." Helga smiled. I thanked her as she left.

"Yoohoo! Guardian's Moon's Chair and Joker's Chair!" a smiling Airi greeted with a lollipop in her mouth protruding out.

Tadase, Nagihiko and Yaya was already inside, lying on the comfy couch.

"You still look as gorgeous as ever. I think I'll get a nosebleed at this rate." I joked, blushing , but she did look beautiful.

Airi was wearing a green tubetop with a small soccer ball printed at the bottom right, a green and black checkered skirt. She was wearing her usual lace boots. Her long pink hair let down til her waist, with a diamond clip attached to it. Bangles dangling on her hand. And a lock and key dangling on her neck. Wait.. A lock and a key?!

"Where'd you get that lock and key?" I asked her. "It looks like the Humpty Lock and Dumpty Key."

"You mean this?" she pointed at it. "This is the Genesis Lock and Key. It was given to me as a gift for joining Royale as the Queen's chair. As you have already noticed, it gives me the power to purify X eggs. My power comes from them."

All of us were surprised. All of us were thinking the same thing - "Why didn't we notice it before?"

"Let's go to the backyard now. All the students are waiting for us there!" she smiled as she walked towards a lift. "Hurryyyy. I'm not going to press the 'Open' button forever!" All of us walked in hurriedly. The lift came to a stop at the 1st floor. We were at her backyard. The whole place was guarded with guards, maids and servants.

"There's our pit!" she pointed at a magnificent golden coloured pit. "Wow, thanks Airi." everybody said in unison. "Time to make my speech!" she said as she walked towards a mini stage in the center.

Airi's POV

"Hello 7th and 8th graders! We're about to start the BBQ soon so please get into groups of 10 and get a BBQ pit! No fighting though, or the big scary guards will get you. We're going to have a food-tasting ceremony too. The winners will get a banquet by Japan's top chef! So be sure to cook yummy foods! The judges will be yours truly and the Seiyo Middle School Guardians! You have the whole day until 7pm tonight. So gambatteh everybody!"

I looked over at the guardians. It looked like they succeeded!

"Ne Amu-chi ! You rock!" I could hear Yaya cuddling Amu all over. "Your boyfriend would be sooooo lucky!"

I could see Amu and Kukai glancing at each other and blushing madly.

"Ano.. Yaya. Let's not spoil the fun for Amu eh? We would LOVE to know who her boyfriend is." I winked at Kukai.

"Anyway, I'll be back later. Ja ne!" I told them as I walked to my room.

In the Bubble Bath

"Ne, Airi-chan! Your acting skills are really good! Kukai didn't even notice!" Charmie said proudly.

"I guess so.." I said as I sunk into my bubble bath. I was still thinking about the day we both met...

"I'm Souma Kukai. Don't cry.. we're going to get out of here."he said as he got ready to piggyback me. I told him my name and asked him not to leave me, I then gave him a kiss on his lips. He stood there for a second. I was getting worried and I told him the way out.. When I heard mother and father calling my name,I hugged him tighter. I didn't want him to leave my side.. ever..

"Kukai.." I whispered.

"ANYBODY HEREEEEE?" I could hear a loud voice calling out as the doorknob was turning.

"KUKAI?!" and your spot on! He saw Airi's bare body.

"AIRI?!" he said as he turned behind, trying to cover his blush. All the Guardians were behind him as well. You people must be thinking that he's a pervert. and yes you're right, he was thinking about Airi being a B cup and all.

"Gosh, Airi if you want to have a bubble bath you should place guards outside. Unless you did want me to see it." he laughed, closing the door.

"Eh.. So all of you are here?" I sighed, luckily only Kukai saw, that was too close. I got up and changed.

Normal POV

Nagihiko, Tadase and Kukai were actually having a severe nosebleed. As the glass door was semi transparent, they couldn't see her clearly, but her figure was well shown.

"Damn you perverts.." Airi complained as she wore back her clothes. "Seen enough?" she said as she opened the door. Her hair swayed in the wind freely.

Wow, she's really pretty. And what's she doing with KUKAI?! Amu screamed in her thoughts.

"Anyway, we were wondering whether we can stay at your house for the night." Kukai asked Airi.

"Anything. You guys brought your stuffs?" she asked. We all showed her our bags.

She snapped her finger and Helga was beside her (just like magic!). "Helga, show the Guardians to their room."

Everybody was let into a big room, almost as big as Airi's. There were 5 different beds and they were widely spread out. A plasma TV at the front with a huge and long couch. There was a dressing table at the end. At the side, a big bathroom with a bathtub, a shower and 3 sinks.

"Let's go to the backyardd. I wanna taste the food!" Airi complained and led us down.

When we reached the ground, Airi went up to the stage again. "Hey people! It's time for the food-tasting ceremony. Please indicate your group name on your plates and put in onto the judges table!" she said as she pointed at a long golden table.

After tasting

"After tasting all of the food, we've come up with the most YUMMIEST!" Airi shouted in the microphone. There was a lollipop symbol on her head. "Would Team Saaya come up?" She announced.

"Hahahaha! I knew I would win! Now for my speech!" she said as she pulled out a long piece of paper which seemed to roll forever.

Kukai pushed her off the mini-stage. "Okay, the BBQ party has officially ended! Remember to come for the Sleepover tomorrow! And did we mention there's no school?" he grinned. "Bye everyone!"

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. PH-EWWWW.

Amu's POV

Looks like me and Kukai didn't have any moment together today.. It seemed more like him bonding with Airi..

"Hey Amu!" I looked up, to see Airi infront of me. "How's the BBQ party for you?"

"Okay I guess.." I hung my head down.

"Don't lie to me. I know you didn't enjoy it. Because well.. you didn't have time to bond with Kukai?"

NEH?! how did she know what my heart was thinking?!

"I know everything." she said to me, smirking.

I do miss him.. But somehow I feel the Airi infront of me is some kind of monster! She wants to steal Kukai away! I won't allow her to do so. I love kukai and kukai loves me back. She does not have the right to snatch him away! Demo.. On second thought, Kukai still may have feelings for her.. He's not telling me something and I can feel it. Kukai..

"Stop thinking so much Amu." she said as she winked at me. "Go and rest." she turned around and left the room.

END OF CHAPTER 5!

A/N: I took around 1 and a half day to do this! Veryvery long T.T. As most of you will know, the next chapter is the SLEEPOVER! :D. I'm still thinking of how to write it though. Anybody have any ideas and would like to share it with me, I'll gladly think about it. I want your kindkind reviews pretty please with cherries on top? Arigato!

Anyway, you were warned! So don't complain about this story being NO KUKAIxAMU. :D
