Chapter
Two
-The Worst Day Ever-
-X-
The sun shone brightly the very next day. Underneath a beautiful sakura tree laid Ikuto with his hands behind his head. His dark violet eyes gazed up at the clear blue sky in thought. In his hand he held up the Dumpty Key which glittered under the sun. His thoughts then drifted towards the owner of the Humpty Lock…
'Yo, Ikuto,' a voice snapped the said boy out of his thoughts. The dark haired teen turned to his right to see a beautiful girl with blonde hair tied up in two ponytails.
'Utau?' Ikuto asked, surprised to see his little sister here while she should be travelling around the world singing her songs. 'What are you doing here?'
Utau sighed; closing her violet eyes. 'Are you daydreaming about Amu?' she asked, ignoring Ikuto's last question. Ever since Easter's defeat, she and the pink haired girl became great friends despite the many arguments they had in the past about Ikuto. But Utau has become more mature and more focused on her singing rather than her love towards Ikuto.
Ikuto remained quiet and instead got up and dusted the dust off of his shirt. The blonde singer frowned slightly when her brother totally ignored the question.
'Hey Ikuto, answer the question!' Utau nearly shouted. Back in the past she would never even think of raising her voice towards him, but now is a different story. She has gotten a lot bolder ever since Amu brought out the good in her. 'Were you daydreaming about Amu?'
'Who knows,' Ikuto muttered, grabbing his violin case and starts to walk off.
Utau fumed but knows that that's all that she can get out of him. She sighed but then smiled slightly at her quiet brother after catching up to him. 'I haven't seen you in a while, Ikuto. What have you been up to? How have you been?' she asked, trying to start a conversation.
'Fine,' Ikuto simply said.
Utau pouted slightly. 'Come on. Can you at least tell me one thing that you did? If you do then I'll tell you something interesting,' she said, trying to get him to talk more.
'Not interested,' Ikuto said coolly. Utau stopped in her tracks and gritted her teeth at her brother's attitude towards her. She had always thought that once Easter had been taken down Ikuto would be nicer to her now that he won't have that much pressure put on him, but Utau guessed that it will never happen. Unless…
'Fine!' she snapped, making the Black Cat wince slightly at the noise, but he didn't stop walking. 'Then I guess that you wouldn't care that Tadase will be going out with Amu tomorrow!'
As soon as those words had came flying out of the blonde's mouth, Ikuto stopped dead in his tracks. What did she say? He thought.
'Yeah that's right. Tadase will be going out with Amu tomorrow!' Utau repeated as if she was reading Ikuto's mind. 'I heard it from Iru.' The said Chara chuckled evilly behind Utau's back.
Utau continued to talk about random things, not noticing how her brother's body had suddenly become stiff. Although he didn't show it, Ikuto was in shock. Tadase and Amu on a date! The teen clenched his teeth at the thought. No. He looked up with cold eyes. Not if I can help it.
'…said that they are going to meet up at the mall by noon. By the way…' Utau continued to blabber on, not noticing that Ikuto was secretly plotting an evil plan to separate the two Guardians. '…I'm going to be leaving tomorrow with Sanjou-san to America so I won't be seeing you for about a month. So you – hey, where did he go?' Utau looked around, only to find herself alone and no Ikuto. 'Arg! Get back here, Ikuto, I'm not finished!'

Amu was bored. No, she was beyond bored. Sitting on the ground of the lounge, Amu switched the TV channels every two seconds with a bored expression on her face.
'Amu-chan, let's play a game!' Ran suggested, waving around her small hands.
The girl sighed loudly. 'No thanks, I'm not in the mood,' she replied plainly; her eyes never leaving the television screen.
Ran's shoulders dropped slightly but then her whole body jerked up in alarm. 'Amu-chan! Amu-chan!' she shouted.
Feeling frustrated, Amu turned to the pink Chara and glared slightly. 'What?' she asked annoyed.
'X-Eggs, I sense them!' Ran shouted, then flying up to her room to tell Miki and Suu.
Amu stood and frowned slightly. Of all the days that an X-Egg could appear in, it just had to be today.
The Hinamori girl rolled her eyes. The world must hate me today, she thought annoyed.
Her three Charas then flew down stairs quickly all ready to go.
'We're ready!' Ran exclaimed.
'Then let's go!' Amu said dashing for the door but Suu's voice had stopped her.
'Wait, Amu-chan!'
'What is it?' Amu snapped, clearly not in a good mood. She was up all night yesterday thinking about the date that Tadase had arranged for tomorrow. She had only been able to get to sleep at four in the morning.
'You, uh, might want to get changed, Amu-chan,' Miki said, gesturing towards Amu's clothing.
The said girl looked down and only now realized that she is still in her pajamas that had little black cats printed on them.
Amu blushed and pulled her hair in frustration and dashed up the stairs, while her three Shugo Charas sweatdropped.
-X-
Ikuto sighed, happy that he was able to get away from his sister. Sometimes the girl can be so annoying. What had happened to the cold-hearted girl that was obsessed with him? But he guessed that this is better that to have a sister who is madly in love with you. The dark haired teen shivered slightly at the past memories of his crazy sister and about the time when she kissed him forcefully.
'Ikuto,' Yoru's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
'What is it?'
'I sense the presence of eggs.'
Ikuto hopped down from the tree he was resting on. 'Could it be the Embryo?' he asked, mainly to himself.
'Who knows,' his cat Chara shrugged. 'Let's go see.'
The seventeen year old agreed and ran towards the direction of the eggs with Yoru on his left shoulder.

Amu arrived in a park full of depressed looking people all sitting on benches. It was eerie quiet. So quiet that you wouldn't even be able to hear a bird chirp.
The pink haired girl shivered slightly at the atmosphere. 'Are you sure we're at the right place, guys?' she asked the three Charas.
'I think so. The presence of the X-Eggs is definitely coming from this direction.' As soon as Miki had said that, over twenty X-Eggs appeared.
Amu faltered slightly and looked up with wide eyes. 'Woah, that's a lot of X-Eggs,' she said, looking at the people sitting on the benches. Must be theirs.
'Amu-chan, change with me!' Miki said, flying next to the fourteen year old girl.
Amu nodded. 'My own heart, unlock!' In a matter of seconds Amu appeared again but instead dressed in blue. 'Character Transformation: Amulet Spade!'
Amu held her hand in front of her and a giant paintbrush appeared in her hand. 'Colourful Canvas!' she exclaimed, swinging the massive paintbrush at the newly hatched X-Characters. But it turns out that the X-Characters were a lot faster than she thought because everyone of them were able to dodge the attack successfully. Amu gritted her teeth and swings the paintbrush again but the same result keeps happening.
'Useless, useless,' the X-Characters chanted. Suddenly they begin to group together. Amu, Ran and Suu watched in horror as they formed together to create one giant X-Character. The X-Character then launched a giant black orb at the three. Amu countered the attack by using 'Colourful Canvas' once more. The result was that a mini explosion occurred, but it was enough to knock Amu and her Charas off their feet. The X-Character, however, had remained still and did not fall over like they did.
I can't get up, Amu thought as she tried to move her limbs.
'Amu-chan!' Ran and Suu both shouted as the X-Character got ready to charge another attack.
Amu closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. This is the worst day ever! She thought as she braced herself for the painful impact. But it never happened. All Amu had heard was the X-Character cry of pain and a male's voice that was all too familiar. Amu opened her eyes slightly to see a teen with car ears, a tail, and midnight blue hair. The Guardian lifted her head up more only to see the most stunning pair of dark violet eye staring right back at her.
'Ikuto?'
