I DO NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA
WHEN DEATH RETURNS:
Chapter 11- Real
(Amu pov)
I opened my eyes slowly, hearing the sound of a violin. I got up thinking maybe it was Ikuto but I found it was Yoru. My heart fell he didn't seem to notice I had woken up yet so I watched him. It had occurred to me that it was his room I was in. His song was sad but beautiful but to me there seemed to be something missing. Something brought me to stand up and walk towards the piano he had in his room. I sat down and when I found the right moment I began to play, letting my soul play. Yoru just now noticed me he looked at me but did not stop his tune. It fit together it seemed to tell of to lovers dancing their last dance before they say farewell for the last time. Slowly we brought the dong to an end but neither one of us moved or stared at each other. The song brought memories of Ikuto to mind and with the memories cam tears. I couldnt help but feel even just at the moment that maybe Yoru had lost the one he loved to. Going out on a limb I felt compelled to ask. "What was her name?" I asked softly I wasn't expecting an answer truthfully. "Her name was Miki." He said it as a whisper yet I heard, I looked to find his eyes glazed over in reminiscence. Maybe just maybe he is misunderstood. I stared down at the keys of the piano before I knew it I was playing. The song told of hurt and loss the loss of someone precious. The good times the sweet memories that seem to make you laugh and cry when you are parted from the one you love. I brought the song to a bittersweet end one that said the rest is unknown. Yoru was now beside me his eyes still holding that of remembrance. We did not utter a word we sat there lost in are own memories.

We had been planning for hours, yet each plan seemed to hold a flaw to it. We had decided to take a break walking around town. It seemed so unreal that it was so similar to earth. They had malls there were homes everything seemed normal. "Haruna!" We turned to see a short girl running towards us. She had black hair with red streaks in it and violet eyes. She had on a black and red corset top and a frilly tutu like skirt on and combat boots. She skidded to a stop in front of Haruna before jumping on to her and hugging her. "Angel, what are you doing here I thought you were in another realm?" Angel unlatched herself, "We moved back here!" Her voice was bubbly and hyper. She seemed to just now notice there were other people around. Before I knew what was happening she had latched herself onto me and kissed me, like really kissed me. I was confused and my eyes were widened in shock. "Yo Angel get off him." Mizuki had said it in her usual bored tone. The girl Angel was pulled off me by Emiko. "Uh...uh" I was sputtering like a spaz. "Sorry Ikuto Angel is a bit forward when she thinks someones cute." Haruna said in an apologetic way. I stood up, "Um sorry but even if you weren't a little kid I have someone I love already." Emiko face palmed while Haruna shook with fear and hid behind Mizuki. I was curious to why they were acting strange that's is until I felt my self flying backwards in pain. In a second the source which was Angel was standing over me about to pound my face in. "Angel...please don't hurt him he didn't know you were 17." Haruna said while still hiding behind Mizuki. I was tempted to tease her about how she was 17 but short, so I bit my tongue. I'M not a masochist so I kept my mouth shut about her height, she seemed to be debating whether to let me go or not. "Yo shrimp get your hands off my best friend." I was surprised when Rima said that. Angel turned dropping my shirt to stare at the culprit. "Shrimp? your no one to speak seeing how your almost just as short!" Rima didn't back down instead she stared at Angel hard. "Ha but I'm 16 so Ha your 17 and I'M an inch taller." Before we knew what was going on the to shorties were fighting over who was better. Then a second later they were giggling and acting like friends. Girls are so confusing, one minute they want to kill each other the next minute there buddy buddy. Everyone else seemed to be thinking the same thing.

I had a bad feeling, I told Kairi and he said it was probably just my nerves. I insisted something was up with Yoru, he had been acting nice when I had seen him earlier. However I knew it was just an act. His eyes seemed to say he knew something and wasn't happy. I cringed hopping he didn't know enough to ruin are plans. Kairi was busy tracking Emiko and the others now that they were in the demon world. He decided to send out 3 elemental demons, ones that were the opposites of Haruna, Emiko, and Mizuki. That way they had a better chance of blocking their attacks. I shook my head to myself, I knew that they wouldn't be defeated so easily. Kairi probably understood this as well seeing how we were all once so close like a family. Before I could even voice my opinion Kairi spoke. "Its to hopefully stall them by the way have you seen Amu." I stopped what I was doing,"No we both told her we were busy yesterday." Kairi nodded yet stared at me as if there was something I should realize. "You don't think..."I didn't even finish I knew he would get what it is I was getting at. He looked off at nothing as if in thought, "I really can't say, but then again if Yoru has ran into her then he knows of our plans." I knew what he said was true I also had a feeling it had happened. "But why wouldn't he confront us already?" Kairi once again looked off as if he were in thought, "Who knows what goes through his mind."

We had been walking for a long time, and decided to go back to the hotel room to plan more. That is until we had come close to a dark alley and I felt a portal being opened. My first thought was its nothing important just travelers. That is until I had to dodge a flying dagger that nearly got my face. In an instant everyone was in fighting position with their weapons drawn. The shadows covered whoever are attackers were. We stood waiting for the next attack, something to give them away. And just like that a shard of ice was propelling toward Emiko, A tornado going toward Haruna, and Fire coming at me. Shit! whoever they were they knew about us, so that means Kairi had to have sent them. We quickly blocked the attacks and threw attacks of our own at them. I blocked the fire by forming a rock wall, Haruna had dodged it and sent lightning in the direction the attack had come from, Emiko had dodged it before shooting fire into the alley way. All was silent as we waited it was too dark to see if we had successfully hit are targets. That is until 3 figures flashed forward ready to attack. Transforming into a tiger I jumped over the wall. And the battle had began They were tough but eventually we had caused them to run off. Looking at my sisters we were all exhausted, and I knew this was only the beginning.
(Ikuto pov)
I had never seen the three sisters so exhausted. They had been unable to kill their enemies and we didn't have the power to help. We had finally made it back to the hotel. Everyone seemed to be lost in thought. I guess this proved to everyone just how hard and real this will be.
