Strangers in My House
Hooray! This is my first story for Shugo Chara. I made an OC for this show and I thought it would be a good idea to try her out. Enjoy the story! ^-^

"Ake-chan, get out of bed now!"
Akemi heard faint yelling as she peacefully lay in bed, then felt tapping on her head. "Get up, get up, GET UP!" the same voice screamed.
She drowsily sat up, immediately seeing a very annoyed looking guardian character glaring at her. "Ohayou Odaijini." she said petting the red headed floating friend with her index finger, still half asleep.
Odaijini bowed quickly. "You'll be late for school Ake-chan." she said more calmly than before.
Akemi bowed slightly and hopped off her bed. "Hai, thank you." she said, flipping her white hair as a way of waking herself up.
"Young mistress, it's time for breakfast." Akemi heard a voice just outside her door as she pulled up her plaid, red skirt.
"Yes Iku." Akemi stated, opening the door an soon walking down the large stairs.
She was greeted with a line of maids and a line of butlers making a way for her.
"Mother and father are still in France, am I right?" she asked a little disappointed.
"Yes young mistress." one of her maids said quickly.
Akemi nodded. She walked into the the dining room and grabbed a piece of toast, ignoring the elaborate breakfast set out for her. She then paced out the front entrance. "I'm walking today!" she called out to her chauffeur.
-...-
Akemi stared at the castle like building. "Reminds me of our house back home…" she mumbled to her chara.
Odaijini nodded. "This will be your school for the next 3 years." she said happily.
Akemi nodded and walked to the school's entrance. For a whiles, she just stood there, surprised at the amount of kids.
"You gonna walk in, or will I have to carry you?" Akemi heard a voice soon after she got to the front.
Akemi turned around to see a boy her age, though he was about three inches taller. He had green eyes and unruly brown hair. Though sounded annoyed, he was grinning at her.
"Yo, dozing off again?" he said pushing her head back with his index finger.
Akemi rubbed the spot where he pushed. "Sorry, Souma-san." she stated calmly, she knew about all the teachers, as well as all the most popular kids in the school.
Kukai ignored her comment. "You're new here, aren't you?" he asked.
Akemi nodded. "How, did you know that I was new though?" she said trying to look at everything but him.
Kukai smirked. "It's not everyday that a cute girl comes here." he said walking past her.
"Watch your back, a lot of boys have been staring at you."
Akemi tried to pretend that she didn't hear Kukai's 'cute' comment. "Uh, wait please." Akemi said. "Would you mind showing me the 7th grade star class?"
Kukai nodded. "But you owe me one." he said.
"How relaxed." Akemi mumbled to herself, though Kukai still heard her.
"Someone's a little grumpy today." he said grinning.
-...-
Akemi sweat dropped at the mass amount of noise. "T-This is our class?" she asked.
"Yep," Kukai said also sweat dropping, he sighed. "Crazy kids." he said walking in.
Akemi shrugged and walked in after him. As if it was planned, the room became dead silent as soon as she entered.
Akemi looked at them, then back to Kukai. "Why are these people staring at me Souma-san?" she asked him.
Kukai shrugged. "Told you that you were pretty." he said. "Good luck putting up with all of this." he took his seat at the front of the class and winked at her.
Akemi scowled at him, then brought her attention to the rest of the class. Just then the teacher walked in, he paused when he saw Akemi. "You must be Berlitz Akemi-sama." he said.
Everyone in the class gasped. "She's apart of the Berlitz family!" a girl said, clearly astonished.
"Now she's not only hot, but rich too!" one of the boys cooed.
"DIBS!" 5 boys in the class yelled at the same time.
Akemi sighed. "This again…" she mumbled.
"Well," the teacher said. "You can take that empty seat next Souma Kukai."
Kukai smirked as Akemi groaned and sat next him. "Way to start off my first day." Akemi mumbled. Kukai silently chuckled.
-...-
"Souma-san, would you mind letting me go." Akemi stated calmly.
Kukai and Akemi were walking home, while Kukai refused to let go of Akemi's hand until she showed him her chara.
Kukai continued walking. "Then show me your chara." he said not turning around.
Akemi panicked to herself. "I don't know what you're-"
"Liar."
Kukai turned Akemi around and held her by her shoulders. "You're not leaving till I see your chara." he said with a surprising smirk on his face.
"Well," Akemi twiddled her fingers . "She left as soon as she walked me to school." she said truthfully.
Kukai smiled. "Then we'll go to your house." he said matter-of-factly.
Akemi frowned. "I don't want to go there." she said stubbornly.
Kukai turned around and held Akemi's hand. "But as long as I hold your hand, you kinda have no choice." he chuckled.
Akemi started struggling. "How do you even know where my house is?" she asked.
"Are you stupid?" Kukai asked. "Your crazy fanboys gave me the address."
Akemi sweat dropped. "Well how did they find it…?"
"Beats me."
Kukai suddenly let go of her hand. He marveled at the amazingly large building. "…This is your house…" he asked flabbergasted.
Akemi nodded, opening the gates with her key. "Yeah, it is..." she whispered.
Kukai patted Akemi on the head. "You okay?" he asked sincerely.
Akemi sighed. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh," Kukai suddenly said. "I invited all of the guardians here, also."
As if on cue, Kukai and Akemi heard a voice getting louder, and louder.
"Kukai-chi!" the voice chimed.
Kukai turned around happily. "Hey guys!" he said waving.
Akemi turned to see 5 kids running to her and Kukai. Though this was their first meeting, she recognized them all. Yaya soon stopped in front of the two. "Who's that?" she said pointing to Akemi.
Kukai quickly answered for her. "Her name's Akemi Berlitz, she's new at my school." he said happily.
Yaya stared at her, creating an awkward silence (awkward to Akemi at least). "You're prettier than Rima-chi!" she said looking at her shining purple eyes and silky white hair.
"So you're a Berlitz then?" Tadase said finally catching up to Yaya. "You come from a very elite family.
Akemi nodded. "I guess…" she mumbled.
"Well you don't seem very well." Nadehiko said curiously.
Akemi quickly opened the door, obviously trying to avoid his statement. "Let's go inside now."
"Welcome back, young mistress!" Everyone was suddenly greeted by servants as far as the eye could see.
All but Akemi were surprised by the vast amount of people; she nodded. "Please bring refreshments for me and my guest, we'll be in the party room."
She led everyone into a large highly decorated room. "So, what are you guys doing at my house?" she asked slapping her hand on the huge table.
"Well it's simple," Kukai started.
"No!" Akemi interrupted. "I have to hear it from someone I can trust."
Kukai went to sulk in a corner.
"You, with the pink hair!" Akemi said pointing to Amu. "Tell me why you're all at my house."
Amu sweat dropped. "Uh, Kukai-kun invited us." she said.
Akemi glared at Kukai and picked him up by his collar. "Everything always seems to come back to you, Souma-san." she glared.
"Geez," Kukai said picking Akemi up. "You're pretty strong you know."
Akemi glared at him. "Put. Me. Down."
Kukai started chuckling. "You only seem to get mad at me," he said not putting Akemi down. "Why is that?"
Akemi didn't answer, but instead, kicked Kukai in the shin so he'd put her down. "Thank you." she stated calmly.
Everyone started laughing. "I still don't know why you people our in my house." Akemi said bitterly.
"I already told you." Kukai explained. "We're not leaving till we see your guardian character."
"Ake-chan, do you have friends over?" Odaijini floated into the party room. "I felt an unusual amount of chara in this room."
Odaijini stopped when she saw the people in the room, she bowed. "Konichiwa minna." she said floating up to Akemi.
"Is this your chara?" Yaya asked eagerly. "It's so cute!"
Akemi smiled sweetly. "Thank you Yaya-san." she said.
"Since we've seen your chara, I guess we can leave now." Amu said walking off.
Rima and Tadase followed her out. "Goodbye, Akemi-sempai." Rima said.
"But I wanna stay with Akemi-chi!" Yaya cried.
Nadehiko dragged her out the door. "Nobody said that it was vice versa." he said.
"Hey Akemi," Kukai said when everyone was gone. "Why don't you like your life?" he asked while Daichi started a conversation with Odaijini.
Akemi didn't look him in the face. "You just wouldn't understand…" she mumbled.
Kukai took Akemi's shoulder. "You can trust me."
Akemi looked down to the floor. "Go home Souma-san…" she said.
Kukai shook his head. "You have to tell me what's wrong." he said putting on a soft smile.
"No." Akemi said. "As soon as I trust someone, they just go off and leave me!" After realizing what she said, Akemi covered her mouth.
"Uh, Akemi, what are you talking about?" Kukai asked, genuinely confused.
"…Souma-san," Akemi said. "I'm sorry, but… I've only known you for one day."
"Look, Akemi," Kukai murmured. "There might be some bad people in this world, but I'm not one of them. You have to trust me."
Akemi pondered, but shook her head. "I'm sorry Souma-san, but I can't get close to you." she said.
Kukai wrapped his arms around Akemi, much to her surprise. "You can Akemi, what do I have to do to get that through your head!" he whispered softly in her ear.
Akemi blushed. "No! I can't let this happen again!" she yelled pushing Kukai off of her.
She dragged Kukai and Daichi out the door. "Sorry Souma-san, but you have to go." she said then closed the door.
Akemi slid down to the floor and sighed. "Not again…" she mumbled.
Odaijini looked at her worriedly. "Ake-chan…" she whispered to herself.

Just so you know, Odaijini means take care in Japanese. The reason Odaijini was born was because of Akemi's dream to be a nurse, and run her family's business at once. What happened in Akemi's past, you'll just have to keep reading to find out!
