EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH?!"
~End of Recap~
I stare at the egg that just appeared in my bed. Thoughts raced through my mind as I reached for the egg. "It's not Easter day and it most definitely isn't my birthday. This has Amaya written all over it." I said to myself. I grabbed the white egg and stormed off, heading toward her room.
But something stopped me in my tracks.
'How could she have gotten in my room without me noticing? Wouldn't the egg be broken by the time I lie on it?'
I bring it close to my face and held it with two hands.
'It's really warm…Either I gave tons of body heat or this thing is going to hatch...It doesn't seem like any other egg...'
I tried to scratch off the paint but it was stuck on it. Like it was born like that…
I decided not to let Amaya know about it just yet. I stroll back to my room and changed into my uniform and grabbed my folder bag and headed out the door. I was on my way to the stairs when another thought came to mind.
'What if it hatches when I'm gone?'
I look back to my bedroom door and think. 'If it hatches and messes up my whole room, Amaya will know something's up.'
I nodded and quickly ran back to my room and grabbed the egg again. I looked around for a proper handkerchief to keep my egg safe and warm. In the midst of tearing apart my room, I found the flyer that Andrew gave to me.
'I forgot to ask him what time we'll meet!'
I sighed to myself and decided to ask him at school. I stuffed the flyer into my folder bag. I finally found a suitable handkerchief for my egg.
It was a royal purple colored handkerchief with golden writing stitched onto it. The stitching wrote my name on it. I quickly wrapped the egg with my handkerchief and carefully placed it in my folder bag. I ran back to my sister's room and shook her awake. I checked her cat head clock as I shook her, '7:20'
'Only 40 minutes left…Jeez Amaya wake up!'
Amaya finally stirred and sat up on her bed, rubbing her the sleep away from her eyes. I gave her the uniform and ran to the kitchen for breakfast.
I grabbed an apple and a slice of cheese. I took a bite out of those and checked up on Amaya. She finally was dressed and headed down the stairs while I went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, gave one last look at myself and headed down after my sister.
Once I caught up with her I headed to the closet. "What are you looking for?" I hear as I searched through the shelves. I smiled.
'Found it'
"You want to skate to school?" I held out two pairs of black and red skates and handed one to Amaya. "A-alright then." My sister said reluctantly. I smiled and we went out the door and swiftly went down the road. Irritably, I kept checking on my folder bag, wondering about the egg.
'Sheesh, having an egg really is high maintenance'
Suddenly something hit my right skate. "Eh?" I could feel myself falling.
'Holy crap! I'm gonna fall! Wait! What about the egg?!'
I grabbed hold of my folder bag and held it close to my chest. 'Here it comes!'
I closed my eyes, ready for impact but I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I opened my eyes and found that I wasn't anywhere near the concrete.
"Whoa, almost fell there." I turn to the person who saved me. Who…?
I met those familiar violet eyes staring back into my dark blue ones.
"A-Andrew..." I whisper softly. 'Oh crap.' I quickly got out of his grasp and swerved to face him.
"T-Thanks Andrew." I blush. He smiled and waved his hand, "No problem, don't want you injured now." I smiled back and skated next to him as we headed to the school. "I'll see you in school alright Nee-san?" I nodded at my sister and we proceeded to go our separate ways. It was pretty silent walking with him to school. 'Wow, I gotta break the ice...' I looked up at him and noticed something different.
"Hey, you're not wearing glasses!" I exclaimed pointing at his face.
"Eh? Oh yeah, I just got my contacts so I decided to try them out." He said with a smile.
"Really? Hmmm..." I looked down at the road, watching my skates glide.
"Does it look okay?"
"Hmm?"
"D-does it look okay to you?" He said, his words tripping out from his lips.
I turned to him again and got a good look at his face. He noticed I was staring at him and stopped walking too. We were like that for a few seconds until I turned away from him. "Yeah, it looks good." I say with my hands across my chest. "Huh? Oh I see..." I heard from behind my back. I felt the heat rising from my face. 'Oh my God, he's hot!' I held my face in my hands and felt the heat go away. I jumped in surprise when I felt a hand on my shoulder. "So, we going or not?" I hear him say. "Ah, right, sorry." I said in a small voice.
FF to the classroom
I had trouble entering the school so Andrew had to help me inside. I quickly skated toward my locker and got out my extra pair of shoes. I quickly slipped them on and turned to see no one waiting for me. 'Eh? Where's Andrew?' I thought as I turned my head from side to side. I spotted him near the stairs with Kukai-kun. I smiled to myself and headed toward them but I could see them arguing. Kukai looked really mad while Andrew was calm and collected. 'What's happening?' I saw Kukai grab Andrew's collar and back him up at a wall. Frightened, I was about to step closer to them when I felt a weight bring me down to the ground.
"Sora-nee!!" I turned to glare at the person when I realized it was Yaya-chan.
"Oh? Yaya-chan? What's up?" I said as I got out from under her. She giggled and pulled me somewhere where Amu-chan and Nadeshiko were. I waved at them both and they waved back. "So what's up? What can I help you with?" I asked with a hand on my hip. "Well..." Amu trailed off playing with her fingers. Nadeshiko smiled, "We need help with this juice machine."
Amu did an anime fall and recollected herself. "Well, if that's the case," I say while turning to the machine. "So what do you need help in?" I asked. "Well, the button for grape juice is jammed and I can't push it." Nadeshiko explained. I turned to Amu and she caught my drift, "U-um, the apple juice button is jammed apparently too." I laugh and jumped with Yaya's outburst. "Actually, all these buttons are jammed!" I took a look at the machine and sure enough, all the buttons were jammed.
"Wow, well, I'll see what I can do." I said taking off my jacket and rolling up my white polo sleeves. "Yay! Go fight, Sora-nee!" I turned to smile at Yaya but noticed that there was a floating small person above her shoulder. It was a baby and it was staring right back at me. I blinked a couple of times and rubbed my eyes and still I could see it. "EH!?" I yelled as I backed up at the juice machine.
"Eh? What's wrong with your friend Amu?" I heard from where Amu was standing. I saw three small people floating above Amu too! One was a a small girl character with a blue hat and notebook, one was a girl with pink hair and dressed in a cheerleader uniform, and the other one was blonde and was wearing a green dress. "I dunno..." Amu whispered to them. I pointed at them and they noticed me pointing at them. "Ano, Sora-chan? What are you pointing at?" I heard Amu say with worry. The words were trapped in my throat and only a gagging sound could be heard. "Are those Sh-Shugo Chara?" I say finally after finding the words to say. "Eh?! You can see them?" Amu exclaimed.
"You can see them too! You were talking to them!!" I yelled back. Amu was quiet and smiled. "So you already have an egg?" I looked at her surprised. "How'd you know that?" Her pink character came close to my face. Frightened, I backed up even more but hit my head in the process. A popping sound was heard and we all looked up to the machine to see the buttons were un-jammed. I sighed and slumped up against the machine. "People who have eggs usually can see other Shugo Chara." I heard it say. I looked up at it and cupped it in my hands.
"So this is, a Shugo Chara?" I asked uncertain. It nodded at me and smiled up at me. "Your egg, it seems close to hatching." I smile and it flew away from my hands. "U-um, Sora-nee?" I turned to Yaya and she was fidgeting in place. "Eh? What's wrong?" I asked. She started flailing her arms around and yelled, "Can you move, I want some juice!!" I laughed and let them get their juice. I got myself some apple juice and ran back inside and to my classroom.
FF to class
It's the middle of History class and I was feeling depressed. Why? Kukai hasn't talked to me the whole time I was there. Feeling depressed, I started to draw around my notebook. I drew a girl with a teddy bear until a folded note fell unto my desk. 'To Sora' it said. I stared at it weirdly and opened it to read its contents.
'I heard you're going to the Street Music Festival. –Kukai' I looked at Kukai and back to the note.
'How'd you know that? And yeah, I am. What of it?' I threw the note over his shoulder and continue to listen to the lesson.
The note smacked me in the face and I could hear a giggle from Kukai. I glared at his back and opened to read these words.
'I was wondering if I could go with you. See more of your awesome skills. ' I smiled and wrote back.
Kukai's POV
Man, that Andrew guy is really pissing me off! Whenever I'm not around Sora-chan, he comes and steals her away from me. He's been hogging up all of our time together. I've never been so angry at someone before. Why do I only feel this much anger now? I just wish Andrew wasn't around taking away my Sora. 'Wait, my? I don't own her!' My thoughts were halted when the note came back to me. I opened it and smiled at the friendly contents.
'Okay. Just don't get all embarrassing okay? And you pay for food. '
Sora's POV
The bell rang signaling Recess and I was putting away my notebooks when a shadow loomed over me and a face came close to mine. "That could be arranged." I hear him say. Kukai's face slowly moved away and I could finally breathe again. 'Whoa...' I blushed and got out my bento. Kukai pulled up a chair and sat across me while I started to eat. "Where were you this morning?" He asked with his chin on his palm. I gave a sigh, "I was near the staircases where you and Andrew were." I waited for a reply but since I got none, I raised my eyes to see Kukai with an angry expression upon his face.
I raised my eyebrow at him and he smiled softly at me. "Ah, were you? Gomen, I guess I didn't see you." I sighed again and was to go back to eating before getting dragged to the Royal Garden. "Wha? What about my food?!" I yell at Kukai as we went. "I'll treat you!" "But where are we going?!" "You'll see!" I sighed and proceeded to continue being dragged.
FF to Royal Garden
We made our grand entrance, startling Amu and Tadase in the process. I staggered on my feet from all that pulling. I felt strong arms from behind me and wrapped around my stomach and saved me from falling. "Whoa.." I heard my savior whispered. I could feel his warm breath tickle my bare neck. 'God, I'm tripping a lot. And getting saved a lot.' I pulled away and headed to the table. "So, what can I do here?" I ask toward Amu-chan as I sat beside Amu.
"Well, we are all gathered here about some information about Easter." Tadase said as he shuffled through the papers. "Easter? You mean the one my father used to work at?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. "Un. It seems that X eggs are getting extracted from that company. We have to find out what they are planning and put a stop to it." I nodded and got up to head out for the rest of school when a hand pulled my wrist back. I turned and see it was Tadase, "Please, also be wary of Ikuto Tsukiyomi." "Ikuto Tsukiyomi?" I echoed. "He's also working for Easter and one of the ways for Easter to collect heart eggs." He said, as he gave me a picture. The boy seemed at about 16-17 years old. His navy blue hair and cool eyes made it easy to remember this man for future reference.
I nodded again and excused myself when the bell started to ring.
FF to Last Period
Well, the classes flew by and right now is Cooking Class. We had to be put into groups of 3. We were making Truffles today, which were my absolute favorite. Andrew suggested that I partner with him, which I gladly accepted. We were lacking one person but since Cherry-sensei didn't notice we started to prepare the ingredients. I was reading over the recipe when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Kukai smiling down at me. "Hey, I don't have a group yet so I thought I could join you guys." I smiled but before I could say anything Andrew spoke, "We're actually full, so try looking over another group." I stared at Andrew in shock,
"Dude what? We need one more member and he doesn't have a group. Come on Kukai, you could help us with our Truffles." I said bringing Kukai closer to our table. We smiled at each other and when I looked at Andrew, he seemed pretty miffed. I kept silent about it and started the recipe. "Okay, can you get the chocolates, Andrew?" I asked pointing toward the plastic bag. "Ah, is this it?" He asked holding up a blue smaller plastic. "Yeah, okay so break the chocolate into smaller pieces and place it into the large bowl." I instructed as I started to boil the cream. "What can I do?" Kukai asked, laying a hand on my shoulder. "You can whisk the ganache after I pour the cream onto the chocolate." I replied.
After pouring the cream onto the chocolate, I gave a whisk to Kukai so he can start whisking it. I could see that he was doing a poor job with whisking. "Er, you're doing it wrong.." I pointed out. Kukai looked up at me with a nervous smile, "Actually, when I was put into groups with anybody, they'd do all the work for me." I sweat drop. "Jeez, here, this is how you whisk." I held his hands and let him grip the bowl properly. "Just whisk, it's actually all in the wrist." I say as I move his wrist around, moving the mixture. "Ah, so that's how you do it. Okay, lemme try." I let go of his hands and he did quite a good job. "Cool, hold on a second okay? I'll get some wax paper, when it gets thick, stop whisking." I trotted off to Cherry-sensei and receive our Wax paper.
Kukai's POV
I smiled at her and continued whisking the mixture. "I won't lose to you." I looked up at the sullen face of Andrew. "Even if I have to tear you guys a part, I won't lose to you." I continued. I heard him sigh and his words came out icy as his eyes,
"When were we competing? And besides, she could still have me. And when she does, you'll just be the dirt beneath her feet."
"I'm back! How's the ganache?" I turn to see her, her smile filling me to the brim. I smiled back at her, "I dunno, you tell me." I pushed the bowl towards her and she raised the whisk and mixture and examined it. As the ganache flowed off the whisk, some fell on the tip of her nose. We all laughed and she wiped it off, giggling to herself. 'She's so cute.. I don't want her to stay with Andrew..' "Alright, we can start forming the truffles!" I hear her voice chirp. "Alright let's start!" I say with cheer.
Sora's POV
We formed the truffles with the two spoons and started to melt the extra chocolate. I checked on it to see if it was starting to melt but burnt my hand in the process. I yelped out loud and held onto my burnt hand. "Itai..." I looked down on it and see it pulsing red through my pinkish skin. I winced at the sensation. I could hear people whisper and wonder what happened. I opened my eyes from the pain when I felt someone grab my wrist. I turned to see Andrew looking down at me. His eyes didn't explain anything about what he was about to do. I felt a tear roll down my face. Hey, my finger was hurting a lot and it was mega painful, who wouldn't tear up for just a bit?
I just watch him drag me to a nearby sink, and felt the cold running water rapidly hit my pained finger. It's cool sensation extinguished my burning pain from that single finger and I opened my eyes as I hear his comforting words. "You're alright, I'm here and you won't have to worry about a thing." I smiled and rested my head upon his shoulder, relaxing to the water. I opened my eyes to the turn of the faucet and looked up at Andrew as he looked away. "Let me see your finger." I heard him say, as I showed my finger. It was still pulsing through my finger but less painful.
I watched as he reached into his pocket and took out a blue band-aid. He started wrapping it around my finger and a sigh of relief escaped his lips. "There, all better." I stared down at my bandage. It was baby blue with black music notes surrounding it. I smiled down at it and gave Andrew a quick hug. "Thanks, I owe you." I said with a smile. "I-It's nothing." his words tripping over his lips. That's when I heard the whispers.
"Are they dating?"
"Aw man, Sora's taken?"
"Can't believe how cute they are!"
I blush and smiled nervously with Andrew.
3rd person POV
Little did Sora know that a jealous soccer jock was watching her every move with the purple eyed guitarist. Hatred built in his system and it wasn't long before it gets unleashed.
