Butter: We're so sorry! -bows down multiple times-
Tsuki: ...I think they get it, Butter. Plus, I think we need a reason, don't we?...
Butter: Ah, right! The reason the chapter is posted very late is because... because...
Tsuki: Ugh... The reason is because we were busy with schoolwork and extra-curriculum activites.
Butter: And because we got in trouble, so we couldn't work on the chapter. :D
Tsuki: They didn't need to know that...
Butter: Oh... Anyway, please enjoy. :D
Her ivy green eyes shifted left to right, while her hands fumbled with the hem of her skirt. Konoe could feel the stares and murmurs of her fellow classmates. "Do I look that weird without the cape?..." Anyone could tell that she had a gloomy atmosphere around her.
"Stop staring at her, you damn kids!" Her shugo chara glared at the students even though they couldn't hear or see her. "Tch, just because you're not wearing the cape, does not mean that you get to stared at. Well, news flash for them, fuck off and get a life!"
Konoe softly giggled at her shugo chara. Her face returned to its natural color, instead of that pale color on her face. Aki would always tell someone straight up what was in her mind.
Aki smiled a bit. She was content with her friend being happy. "Oh, you're smiling again."
Aki had bright sunset orange eyes with rich violet hair in a side ponytail under a newsboy cap. She had on a black long sleeve which hugged her figure. On top of that was a grey sleeveless hoodie. She wore dark blue jeans with small tennis shoes. In her back pocket was her small digital camera.
"Souma-san, how come you're not wearing the royal cape?" A girl approached Konoe. She seemed like she thought she was better than everyone else.
"Um…" Konoe looked at Aki for some help.
"Fine, chara change!" Aki sighed. Konoe seriously had trouble speaking up to people who seemed superior to her.
A newsboy cap appeared on Konoe's head. Her calm demeanor turned into something else. "So you think you're some-!" Before she could finish, someone pulled her by the collar, causing her chara change to disable.
"Ryuuji Yumiko-san, please excuse Konoe. She not wearing her cape, does not mean you get to question her with that attitude. And please don't think that you're on top of the world, it causes me to hate you."
Konoe turned around only to her cousin and her shugo chara. "Maika?"
Yumiko's face turned ugly. "Just who do think you are?" Her blue eyes filled with instant hate.
"Akatsuki Maika, the Diamond's chair of the new Guardians, who is the head seat. I can report for harassment if you intend to question my cousin." Her right eye glaring at her.
Yumiko shoved Maika to the ground. "Watch what you say, eye patch. Don't let me see you or feel pain from me." She walked away before kicking Maika in the stomach.
"Maika, are you okay?" Konoe rushed to her cousin's side. She lifted Maika onto her feet. "Yumiko needs some serious treatment." Her eyes darkened with pure disgust.
"Konoe, I'm okay. I actually want to see you and introduce my shugo chara to you. I see Aki is proven useless." Maika's eye moved onto Aki.
"What the hell are you talking about? No one has ever called me useless, except for-!" She was cut off by the glare that was sent by Maika's shugo chara.
"Noelle, Konoe, this is Kirari, my shugo chara. She's a leader, but she's says she is a king."
The shugo chara, who shot Aki a dirty glare, bowed to them in greeting. "It's nice to meet you. I hope to get along with you."
She had dark blonde hair which reached up to her cheeks, with a white heart clip holding her bangs out of her face. She wore a loose white tie with a long sleeve black buton shirt, with a white skirt. On the top of her head was a crown tipping to the side.
"What's with that greeting if you shot me a dirty glare, Kirari?" Aki looked at her directly in the eyes.
"I didn't want you to offended, but I find you very straightforward, and it might hurt someone unintentionally. Plus, I think you need some reasoning in your head, Aki."
Her remark made Aki tense up. "Why y-you-!" She ended up slapping Kirari across the face.
Kirari looked at Aki with emotionless eyes. "I won't continue a fight if I know if it's useless. It's best that you don't hit me in front of Michiru."
"Who the hell is Michiru?" Aki was felt like anger was boiling in her.
"Ah! Kirari-chan, what's with that sore on your face?" A female shugo chara appeared all of a sudden. She had faint wavy blonde hair with light blue eyes. She was wearing a sleeveless knee length white dress with a icy blue crystal pendant around her neck. On her back were two light blue angel wings.
"Hey! Where did you come from? Who the hell are you?" Aki's temper was short when people suddenly annoy her.
"I'm Michiru, Chiisai's shugo chara." Her eyes began to turn into a deep blue color. "Were you the one who hurt Kirari-chan?" Her voice grew with anticipation.
"So what if I am?" Aki sneered at her.
"Be prepared." Her eyes were now a deep ocean blue. The feathers from her wings came off, revealing two blue devil wings. In her hand, a sword appeared, pointed at Aki.
"M-Maika! Tell Michiru to lower down her blade!" Konoe said her words straight out, which she does not do normally.
Kirari looked at Maika, who smiled at her, which Konoe could not see. She turned around to face her friend. "Michiru, don't you want to tend my wound?" Her voice was warm and friendly than her emotionless tone.
Michiru turned back to normal and flew to Kirari at full speed. "I almost forgot!" She giggled like an angel. She plucked a feather from her wings, and it turned into a ball of light. The ball then turned into water, which Michiru rubbed on Kirari's cheek. "Yay, it's all better now."
"Michiru, did you threaten anyone while I was away?" The voice came from behind Konoe.
Konoe turned around to see Chiisai and another shugo chara floating next to her. "Tsukishima-san, do you have two shugo charas?"
Chiisai looked at Konoe. "Yeah. That angel is mine. The same thing goes for this devil, Michiko." Her eyes held no emotion.
Aki took a good look at Michiko.
She had raven violet hair in a side ponytail and deep orange eyes like fire burning. She was wearing a faint deep red long sleeve blouse with a black skirt trailing down from her thighs to her knees. She had laced beige boots. A bloody red crystal pendant fell down just below her chest. Lastly, on her back were two crimson red devil wings.
"What are you looking at?" Her voice was soft like Michiru's, but more mature. Michiko looked at Aki who just kept looking at her.
Aki immediately flew right up to Michiko's face. "You look like a model. Do you mind if I take your picture? You look so pretty. Your figure is well-defined unlike that false angel. That angel is more like a fallen one." Her eyes were filled with admiration.
Kirari could see a vein popping out of Michiru's head. "Michiko, I think you need to stop Michiru from going crazy…"
"Well, I'm sorry for being this way, you bitch! I'm the devilish angel, who hides her intentional feelings while showing a false smile!" Michiru immediately covered her mouth.
Konoe looked at Chiisai was tending to Maika's wound. She noticed that Chiisai was smiling while talking to Maika, even though Maika just smiled a bit. "Is she being like Michiru, right now?" She didn't know if Chiisai's smile was real or not.
"Michiru!" Michiko flew over to her sister. "Don't reveal anything further more."
"Michiko-sama." Aki followed Michiko to her sister.
Michiko looked at Kirari who gave her nod. She turned to Aki. "Okay, there are things I want you to do." She saw Aki nod with eagerness. "Don't ever call me by my name. Two, don't ever look at me because I don't want to see your ugly face. Three, you are an annoying brat. Four, who said that I let you be near me. Five, I don't even like you, you false wannabe girl." She turned away, to hide her face.
Konoe looked at Michiko in shock. "Oi! What did you say to her?!"
Kirari responded for Michiko. "She just told off your shugo chara. For someone who can speak their mind, Aki apparently can't do that. Therefore, you can't even speak your mind."
Konoe was about to slap Kirari, but Maika stood in the wayand got hit. "Maika, I'm sorry!" Her face was filled with regret.
"Konoe, what Kirari said is right. You can't be yourself, if your shugo chara does not believe in herself. Now, I say this. What Michiko said to Aki, I agree with her, but that brat she is talking about, is what I call the bitch, referred you." Her eyes looked directly at Konoe, who trembled with shock. "Don't ever come near me, until you can ruin me with your own hands." She walked away with Chiisai and their shugo chara.
"Konoe!" Shijima suddenly appeared from behind Konoe. "I managed to overhear everything when I was passing by. How dare she say that to you?!"
Konoe looked up at her friend. "She's right… I don't believe in myself…"
Aki appeared in front of her. "I'm sorry, Konoe. Even though, I say all those things, I'm not sure if I can say it in front of people…"
"You people have to be very stupid…"
Aki looked up and saw Kirari. "What are you doing here?!" Her eyes were filled with immense hate.
"I can't believe you didn't realize it… Konoe managed to speak up for you against Michiko. Didn't you realize that? She did that for you, not for herself." Kirari then flew away with a small smile on her face.
It dawned on Konoe and Aki. She did do that for her shugo chara. It was like Maika and Michiko tried to help them or something. "Aki, I think we have a chance."
"I do, too. Let's go ruin those people and get those seats back." Aki took out her camera. "Let's ruin them with our own power."
"Konoe…" Shijima couldn't resume her words. She was not the one who comfort her friends, but some girl who just appeared in her life all of a sudden. "They're not getting away with this…" Her possessiveness over Konoe was like her mother's when she was younger. She gritted her teeth at thought of thinking about Maika.
Yuki looked at Shijima in concern. Yeah, she was her shugo chara.
She had light brown hair tied into a messy bun. Her eyes were a light blue color. Yuki was wearing a black and white striped long sleeve with shorts with overalls. She also had knee high stockings which were black and white striped. On top of her head was a small beret, while in her hand was a stuffed bunny.
I thought I was here for Shijima's fondness over cute and sweet things… I guess I have to watch over her again, so I won't get lost again… Yuki whispered to herself.
"Maika, don't you think you were a bit too mean toward your cousin?" Chiisai leaned forward to get a view of her friend.
Maika remained mute.
"Chiisai, it was actually Maika's plan to get Konoe to talk her mind. We didn't know it will turn out this way. I didn't even guess that people were going to get hit." Michiru looked at her owner.
Chiisai sighed, but looked at Maika with a smile again. "I get it, but things are going to be tough. Since that Aki can use her camera to snoop on what we're doing for them…"
"That's what I want them to do. I want her to use her own resources to ruin me. I want to see what Souma Konoe can do to her cousin, Akatsuki Maika aka Crimson Moon." Her lips curved into a smile.
Chiisai giggled a bit. This was going to be fun. She just hoped that the guys were having an easy time with the former Jack's and Ace's chairs.
Chiru: As anyone who read, they could see that Maika was a bit harsh in the chapter.
Tsuki: That is because she trying to make her cousin believe in herself and stand up to be her would-be self.
Chiru: As for Shijima's condition and her shugo chara, Yuki...
Tsuki: Apparently, Yuki was close to being an X egg because Shijima started to lose sight of herself, but Konoe helped her out of that.
Chiru: I noticed our readers would get confuse by this chapter, so feel free to ask questions.
