Tsuki: It turns out that I have been the only typing these chapters. -glares-
Butter: -sweats- Hey, I was at tournaments.
Tsuki: You are so lucky.
Butter: Heh... Anyway, review.
"How do you think Hotori and Sanjou are doing?" Ryuu looked at his friend. He noticed that Kohaku was not answering him. "Ko-ha-ku." He stretched out the syllables in Kohaku's name.
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I just spaced out." Kohaku laughed nervously.
"Ah, I know what it is. I remember we used to be chased by the girls at school. I bet you're hiding from the girls now." Ryuu looked at him to see if he got it right.
Kohaku twitched. "Yeah… In France, it was hard to hide. I'm not sure if Japanese girls or French girls are more crazy about guys…"
"Oi, that sounded like you're being racist." Ryuu teased. Well, Kohaku was right in a way. Those girls chased them everywhere. He shivered at the thought of being chased.
"Oh… Sorry about that." As Kohaku saw that the coast was clear, he faced Ryuu. "So what did you wanted to ask me?"
"Oh, yeah. How do you think Hotori and Sanjou are doing?" Ryuu looked at the sky.
"I'm guessing that Tsukasa still is in shock, but he won't show it. While for the Hotori brat, he's going to be pissed by laying an eye on us. Well, we'll just have to threaten him to shut up, right?" Kohaku chuckled.
Ryuu looked at his friend with wide eyes. Sometimes he wondered if Kohaku was sadistic or not. "Okay… You're going to freak anyone out if they hear you."
"Really, now?" His eyes hidden by his glasses showed a mischievous glint.
"Takuma, can you deal with him?" Ryuu looked at his shugo chara.
"Why don't you do that yourself?" His shugo chara floated in front of his face. "I'm not dealing with that guy when he's in a mood like that."
Takuma was Ryuu's shugo chara. He had ruffled turquoise hair with dark red eyes. He had on a loose white long sleeve with a black loose tie. He wore black dress pants and grey shoes. He had on a rather big beret over his head, which was meant to hide something underneath. On his wrist was a silver chain bracelet.
"Kohaku, snap out of it. What if Maika catches you like that?" A voice came from behind Kohaku.
Kohaku quickly snap out of it. He would never show that side of him to Maika. He didn't want Maika to be influenced, mainly because she'll torture himself with his own tactics.
"Thank you for coming, Yuu. I thought he was going to torture me." Ryuu smiled at Yuu, only for him to be ignored.
Yuu was Kohaku's shugo chara. He had olive black hair that fell around his cheeks and his eyes were an elegant silver color. He wore a white long sleeve dress shirt with a black t-shirt underneath. He had on ripped denim jeans and black converse shoes. Hanging low was a music note necklace. Over his shoulder was an instrument case.
"Yuu, can't you show any emotions?" Kohaku looked up at his shugo chara.
Yuu just looked at Kohaku, with no emotion.
Kohaku sighed. Yuu never really showed any emotions to humans or shugo chara. He usually voice his emotions when he was playing his instruments or singing.
"Kohaku, I think we've been spotted. Well, I've been spotted." Ryuu pointed at the group of girls looking at them with love-filled eyes.
"Shit! Let's go, Ryuu. Plus, we get to work out like we did in France." Kohaku smirked as he ran ahead of Ryuu with Jun following him.
Ryuu laughed. "Oi, wait up!" He ran after Kohaku with Takuma, only to have to herd of girls starting to run after them.
Raikou glared at anyone who at them in a weird way. He was seriously ticked off.
"Raikou, calm down. It's not they're going to attack just because you're not wearing the cape." His shugo chara floated near him.
Yukio was the name of the shugo chara. He had forest green hair with warm chocolate eyes. He wore a white long sleeve v-neck with a string criss-crossing the V. He wore black dress pants and dress shoes. He had silver earrings on his ears.
"Shut up. I don't need you to tell me what to do." Raikou continued to glare at the students until he meant up with Tsukasa. "Oi, Sanjou!"
Tsukasa turned around to see his "friend" glaring at him. "Okay, stop glaring at me as if you want to kill me, if I'm your friend."
Raikou calmed down, and looked at Tsukasa as he usually does.
This surprised Tsukasa. Surprisingly, this guy considers the feeling of others. "So what's up?"
"It's the damn eyes staring at us. It's plain creepy. It's like they're stalkers or something!" Raikou started to fume.
Tsukasa noticed Yukio was shaking his head, making him chuckle. Unlike his father, Tsukasa didn't wear glasses, showing off his handsome features.
"What?!" Raikou yelled at him again.
"Nothing. It's just funny seeing you react like this." Tsukasa replied, only to have Raikou stare at him with wide eyes and an opened mouth.
"You would want to shut that thing, unless you want a bug to get in there."
Raikou quickly closed his mouth and glared at the shugo chara near Tsukasa.
Jun was the shugo chara Raikou was glaring at, who was Tsukasa's shugo chara. He had scarlet red hair in a small low ponytail and faint golden eyes. He wore a black dress shirt with first three buttons unbuttoned. He wore ripped-up jeans. He also had on a fingerless gloves.
"You know what! Why don't fight with me? You're a fighter." Raikou glared at him.
"Just in case you forgot, I'm a passive fighter. I won't fight without a reason." Even though Jun said that, his left eye was twitching, because Raikou was being a pest.
Just before Raikou could talk back to Jun, a yell was heard from the gates. "Move it!" That was when two shadows jumped over the gates which was considered impossible unless you climbed the big tree.
Unfortunately, those two shadows fell on Tsukasa and Raikou. They immediately got off the boys, bowing in apology.
Raikou and Tsukasa got up, and stared at the sight before them. It was Tsukishima Kohaku and Hatoyama Ryuu.
Ryuu looked up and noticed that it was the brats. "Kohaku, we didn't need to bow in apology. It's just Hotori and Sanjou. Well, we should've bowed to Sanjou, not Hotori." Ryuu smirked at Hotori.
Kohaku looked up and sighed. "Ryuu, you're pissing him off."
"I don't care. He deserves it because he insulted Suzaku-san." Ryuu's eyes turned cold. "I'm gladly to piss off anyone who insults Suzaku-san."
Kohaku understood his feeling, but this was something Suzaku would not want. "Ryuu-" Before Kohaku could speak to his friend, Raikou threw a punch at Ryuu.
Ryuu dodged the punch. "Oh, throwing a punch at your senpai." His voice was dark and emotionless.
"Don't talk about that woman." His eyes showed hate.
"I'm sorry to say this, but your mother has always been with you. She has been the headmaster of the school ever since you entered. Haven't you noticed?" Ryuu looked at him with emotionless eyes.
Raikou's temper went down. The name Akihime entered his life ever since he entered the school. He couldn't believe it.
"I truly think you blamed your mother for the wrong thing. Just for insulting her, I think she deserves some payback." Ryuu walked up to Raikou's shugo chara.
Yukio looked up at Ryuu. He never knew who had such emotion as him. It was almost like resentment, but for what?
Ryuu's hand looked like it was holding onto something. Suddenly, Yukio's egg appeared around Yukio and enclosed him in it. Ryuu made the egg close and looked like he was going to break it.
Raikou looked in shock. "Let go of him!" Raikou ran up to Ryuu trying to get his shugo chara back.
But Ryuu moved effortlessly away from Raikou's hands. "Get him. Using any way to get him, even if it means hurting yourself in the process just to get what you want."
Kohaku just looked at what Ryuu was doing. His shugo chara just gazing.
Tsukasa was getting pissed. "Jun, let's chara change."
"You just read my mind." Jun smirked at Tsukasa. "Chara change!" Personally, he was getting worked up himself.
A chain appeared and was hooked around Tsukasa's pants, while on his hands were fingerless gloves. He ran toward Ryuu, and looked at Raikou for a move to attack Ryuu.
Raikou noticed what Tsukasa was doing. Raikou immediately calmed down and pointed at Ryuu's legs.
Tsukasa was still running, but as he reached Ryuu, he slid and tried to kick Ryuu off of his feet.
Ryuu dodged, but Yukio's egg slipped from his fingers.
Kohaku, Yuu, and Takuma noticed that there was slight smile on Ryuu's face. He accomplished his task.
"Wow, that's was some teamwork, not. I give you back your shugo chara. Make sure you give him some space when he comes out. They don't like to be forced into their eggs. Oh, and remember what I said. The same goes for you, Sanjou." Ryuu smirked at them. He looked at his shugo chara.
Takuma just looked at him, but he understood what he had to do. "Chara change."
A big beret appeared on Ryuu's head, but he took it off. Wolf ears appeared on top of his head, as his tail suddenly appeared. "Ja ne." He backed up and ran full speed toward the gate, succeeding at jumping over it.
Raikou and Tsukasa were in shock. No one could do that.
Kohaku then approached his kouhai. "Talk to Souma and Fujisaki. The girls told them a message, so you should tell them your message. Remember this, we're going easy on you." The glare on his glasses couldn't show the emotion in his eyes. He leapt on the big tree, and jumped over the fence.
Before Tsukasa and Raikou could let the message sink in, they heard screams from the other side. They soon heard Ryuu's voice.
"Shoot! We came back to early!" But it was followed by a chuckle.
"But we're finally having fun, right?" Another chuckle was heard.
"Ne, Yuu, do you think we should meet up with the others in the Royal Garden?" Takuma looked at his friend.
"I guess." Yuu started to float toward the glass building, but stopped. He floated in front of Tsukasa's and Raikou's faces. "I have something to tell you."
"What?" Raikou calmly asked. He did not want to endanger Yukio again.
"Try your best. They want to see what you can do. Not the current Guardians, but Crimson Moon." Yuu and Takuma took off before Raikou could question them.
Raikou and Tsukasa looked at each other in shock. How did that shugo chara know about Crimson Moon?
"Do you think that we should've done that?" Takuma looked at Yuu.
"Well, nothing bad has happened to us, yet." Yuu noted. As he approached the table in the garden, placing himself in front of Maika, who was waiting for them.
"Good response, Yuu. Thanks for telling them that. Now, we'll just have to see what they can do." Maika petted Yuu's hair as thanks.
Takuma thought Yuu would get annoyed, but Yuu just sat there, letting Maika pet his hair. He just shrugged it off, so he took off to go get Ryuu.
As Takuma left, Yuu smlied. He only approve of Maika, so he let his emotions out whenever they were alone. Soon, his face went back to its old mask. "Maika."
"What is it?" She knew something was wrong. "Is someone watching us?"
"Yeah…" Yuu was always surprised how Maika knew what he was thinking.
Maika giggled to herself. "Then things are going into motion. I think Otou-sama will be pleased with this. After all, we're not the rightful Guardians. They are."
Tsuki: So, Maika has a soft side to her after all. -smirks-
Maika: What was with that scene? I thought you wouldn't write that.
Tsuki: But I miss Meika-chan. -hugs Maika-
Maika: I miss her too. But don't go doing those things.
Tsuki: I know, but we need some development. Our stories are going to pretty long after all, escpecially Chiru's. It has fricking seven parts. The first story, out of the three, that's likely to finsh first would be this one or Blooming Petals.
Maika: Oh. Anyway, here's an announcement. There's an estimated of four to five chapters to be done while Innocent goes on break for winter break. I hope you enjoy their stories.
Tsuki: Please review.
