Jewel: Hello people! Back with another chapter! I always do this when I start a new story.
Ikuto: I can tell. Now, why are they here and where's Amu?
Tadase: Good question.
Jewel: Because this story's about you guys.
Nagi: I see...
Kukai: Do you have a soccerball here?
Jewel: In the purple bin. I'm glad my dad didn't kill me for having four hot guys over...
Tadase: ...Wait, so we could've been killed by your dad..?
Jewel: ...I don't own Shugo Chara or their characters!
~Let's Break the Rules~
"You came back early..." Kairi commented as the band walked into the kitchen. They just ignored him and continued. Kukai went to grab a water bottle from the fridge, Tadase and Nagi sat at the table while Ikuto just leaned against the island in the middle of the large counter. Kairi raised an eyebrow at the silence they drowned in. "You met girls, didn't you?" He asked and sighed. They all turned to him, taken off guard by his sudden assumption.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Kairi." Ikuto stated and went to get his own water. Kairi scoffed and re-adjusted his glasses.
"That statement alone made you ten times more suspicious..." He stated.
Damn. They really wished Kairi wasn't so smart. He just had to know everything and was amazing at reading body language.
"...Fine. We did. Maybe." Tadase admitted, knowing that arguing with him was pointless. And he wasn't exactly sure that they met them... They didn't even know their full names. Kairi frowned in disappointment at them.
"But what about you and your girlfriend? You're not exactly in a position where you can lecture us about our love lives." Ikuto spat out. Why the hell was he even angry?
"I don't have millions of fangirls throwing themselves at me. Did you ever think what could happen if someone found out you guys were dating? The crazier fangirls aren't afraid to go to jail for you guys." He argued. The other teens froze and realized that he was right. "I'm sorry guys... But it's too dangerous." Kairi finished and left the kitchen. The rest of them continued to grimace at the ground.
"...Liar." Ikuto said. They all looked at him with a rasied eyebrow. "I've had about four girlfriends so far and none of them have been hurt by the fans." He stated and finished his water bottle.
"Oh yeah... The bitch, the gold digger, the slut, and the crazy, right?" Kukai recited. Ikuto nodded and sighed at the mention of his ex-girlfriends. Nagi and Tadase chuckled but were silenced by the deadly lok Ikuto gave them.
"I mean, I already broke the rule and Kairi hasn't done anything. So I'm just gonna ignore him." He declared and walked into the living room.
"...So you finally found someone, huh?" Kairi asked from the couch. Ikuto lazily raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"You tell me. A girl who has never heard of our band... Wouldn't you be interested too?" He asked and left. Kairi just watched his leaving form before letting out a short chuckle.
"Then yes. And for you to be interested in her, this must be one hell of a girl." He said and continued to read his rather large novel. "Hell, if any of you guys are interested in a girl, they must be amazing." He corrected himself.
"Yo Kairi. We're heading out tonight." Kukai said as he and the rest of the band walked out from the kitchen. Kairi sighed and nodded.
"Oh, Kukai. Before you guys head out, you need to come with me to a meeting." He said. Kukai groaned.
"Why me?" He whined and plopped down onto the sofa. Nagi and Tadase laughed at him and made their way upstairs to their rooms.
"Because Hoshina's manager wants us to meet up with her and Hoshina." He explained and closed his book. Kukai's eyes widened for a moment.
"...Hoshina?" He asked. Kairi nodded and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. And I'm sure you're going to love the topic we'll be discussing. Go start your car while I call to inform my sister that we're on out way," He ordered and left to go use the phone in the kitchen. Kukai grinned from ear to ear as he jogged to the garage. "...Idiot..." Kairi muttered as he picked up the phone.
~Upstairs~
"I'm bored." Tadase said aloud as he continued to stare up at Ikuto's ceiling. Ikuto growled and turned to him in his rolling chair.
"That's not my problem. And why the hell are you on my bed? Better yet, what the hell are you guys doing here in my room?!" He shouted and glared at the two other teens. Nagi shrugged and continued to look through his CD collection. Ikuto sighed and continued to work on his laptop. "If you're bored, just go look for Jewel." He said and ran a hand through his messy hair.
"Good idea. I think she's still in the park. See ya." Tadase said and walked out of the room. Nagi sweat-dropped.
"If you wanted him out earlier, why didn't you just say that?" He asked and pulled out an interesting CD. Ikuto glared at the screen.
"I didn't know it was going to work." He replied and continued to type new lyrics to their song. Nagi chuckled and put back the CD.
"Tadase was right. Your room is boring as hell." He commented and got up. "I'll be in the backyard if you need me." He said and gave a two finger salute before jogging downstairs. Ikuto sighed and pulled out his cell phone. It was around 4:30.
'...Three hours... I guess it's time for practice...' He thought and walked over to his father's violin case. He picked it up and went to the recording booth downstairs. It was practically the only quiet room in the whole mansion. He sighed and pulled out the old violin from its case and got into position. A peaceful melody echoed throughout the empty mansion.
~At the Park~
Tadase sat down on one of the many benches in the park, admiring the beautiful scenery the area had to offer, completely forgetting why he had come there in the first place. He sighed and closed his eyes, taking in the scent of the cherry blossoms.
"Beautiful, huh?" A voice said behind him. He turned around and was reminded of why he was there. He smiled at the smiling girl behind him and nodded. He patted the spot next to him. Jewel rolled her eyes but sat down next to him. She leaned back and stared up at the cherry blossom tree that hung over them. "I just can't get enough of this park... It's too bad people don't visit often..." She murmured and closed her eyes before siging out of what seemed like sadness.
"What do you mean? Do you caome here a lot?" He asked. She nodded and opened her eyes again.
"Almost everyday. I love this park... Holds a lot of good memories." She explained. He smiled at her. Suddenly, she turned to him with a curious expression. "I thought your eyes were blue..." She said and leaned in to get a closer look at his ruby eyes. He cursed in his head. He forgot his contacts and sunglasses. He laughed nervously.
"O-Oh... Are you sure about that?" He covered. She frowned but shrugged and pulled away.
"I might've been wrong. Sorry." She apologized. Suddenly, they heard something vibrate and Jewel blushed. "Sorry... That's my phone." She explained and pulled her phone out of her pocket.
One New Text From: Chrisel
'OMG. Have u seen The Rare 4's newest song?! Ikuto's soooo hot~!'
Jewel froze. That name... Her mind immediately replayed the boys introductions that afternoon. Her fingers flew across her keyboard as she replied. Tadase raised an eyebrow but decided not to ask.
'U don't know their names? Wow Jewel. Alright. Tsukiyomi Ikuto, Souma Kukai, Fujisaki Nagehiko, and Hotori Tadase. Y?'
Jewel's phone dropped at the last name. Her sister was kidding, right? But there was no way... that the teen sitting right next to her was supposedly part of the famous boy band she's never heard of.
~With Kukai and Kairi~
"Is that them Sanjo?" A teen with two long blonde pigtails asked as her dark purple eyes scanned Kukai and his manager. A woman with reddish brown hair's ocean blue eyes looked in the direction her client was and smiled.
"Yup. That's my little brother alright." She said and they walked towards the others. "Kairi! I'm pretty sure you've gotten taller since the last time I saw you!" She shouted as she hugged Kairi. He smiled and managed to pry her off of him.
"Nice to see you too Yukari..." He greeted and turned to the blonde. "Hello Hoshina." He said with a small bow. The idol rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I told you to call me Utau." She stated. Kairi just chuckled and shrugged.
"So what made me so lucky to meet the one and only Hoshina Utau?" Kukai joked. Yukari just rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"I can't believe I'm about to say this..." Yukari muttered and rubbed her temples. Utau playfully rolled her eyes again and smiled at her manager.
"It's fine Sanjo... It sounds like fun to me." Utau said with the tiniest blush. Yukari sighed and nodded. She gave her brother and Kukai a stern look.
"Alright... You and Utau are going to pretend to be a couple." She stated.
...All hell broke loose in Kukai's mind.
~Back at the Mansion~
"Ikuto! Where's you go?!" Nagi shouted as walked into the house. Ikuto's bow stopped as he groaned. He put his violin back in its case and left the recording booth. He ran into Nagi in the hallway. "There's someone at the door." He said and left. Ikuto groaned and went to the front door.
"Who the hell..." He muttered and opened the door. He froze when he saw his favorite pink haired girl standing on the front porch of their mansion. Her eyes widened.
"O-Oh... Ikuto? What are you doing here..?" She asked. Ikuto's smirk appeared and felt his teasing attitude coming back.
"Oh look. The little princess is a stalker. Did you come to peek in on the prince?" He teased and leaned down so that their faces were inches apart. He watched her blush an stutter out an answer.
"P-Prince?! In what world?!" She practically screamed.
Damn. She was one tough nut to crack.
"In every world, of course." He joked. She scoffed and turned away from him, hoping that her blush would die down. He chuckled and ruffled her hair. She shouted and swatted his hands away. "So what's the little princess up to now?" He asked and leaned on the door frame.
"Stop calling me that. And I was just going to ask a neighbor for a watering can but a lot of people weren't home or they didn't have one. I didn't know you lived here." She explained. Ikuto raised an eyebrow but realized that she was telling the truth.
"...I think we might have one... Come in while I look around." He said and turned towards the backyard.
"W-Wait! I-I can just wait outside!" She shouted and waved her hands frantically. Ikuto chuckled and grabbed her wrist.
"I'm not gonna make a princess like you wait outside." He said and guided her to the couch before walking to the backyard again. But before she could protest any further, he was gone. She pouted and crossed her arms before leaning back into the soft cushions.
"...I told him to stop calling me that..." She murmured and closed her eyes. Suddenly, she fell over onto her side and fell asleep.
"I don't know if we have a watering can..." Nagi said as he and Ikuto walked back into the house.
"Alright I'll tel-" They stopped when they saw Amu sleeping on their couch. They stared at her in silence for a few moments. "I swear, I didn't do anything." Ikuto defended, reading Nagi's mind.
"I find that hard to believe." Nagi said. Ikuto rolled his eyes and glared at him.
"That one time doesn't count. One of us was bound to do it to her anyways." He argued. Nagi opened his mouth to fight back but realized that he was right. "I saw you and Kukai go for her drink." He reminded. Nagi sighed and left without a word. Ikuto chuckled and leaned over the back of the couch. He hovered over Amu's face and smirked. "Amu." He called. She stirred but kept her eyes shut. He groaned inwardly and pressed his lips to her ear. "Amu..." He whispered again and bit her earlobe. Her eyes flew open and she sat up.
"What the hell was that for Ikuto?!" She shouted and held her ear, a deep blush spread across her face. Ikuto chuckled and smirked.
"The little princess wouldn't wake up." He replied innocently.
"You couldn't just shake me?! And stop calling me that!" She shouted and her blush grew. He pouted at her.
"Where's the fun in that?" He asked and sat next to her. She jumped off the couch and pointed an accusing finger at him.
"Y-Y-You pervert!" She shouted.
"Hm... You're right. You're more of a strawberry than a little princess..." He commented and got up. He backed her into a nearby wall and trapped her by placing a hand on either side of her. He pressed his lips to her ear againd and his smirk widened. "What's wrong my little strawberry? Did the big bad cat get your tongue?" He teased.
...Any girl couldn't resist him... Right?
~Back at the Cafe Around Seven~
The whole cafe was buzzing as jazz played in the background. Smiles were everywhere. Well... All except one booth full of teens in hoodies and sunglasses. Nagi sat with a terrified expression, Ikuto's was pure shock along with Kukai's, and Tadase's was just completely dead.
"...I can't believe she found out..." Tadase mumbled and layed his head on the cold table.
What happened? Jewel had figured out who they were. It all happened with a few small but horrible questions. Like, what's your name again? Or, what do you do? What about, are you sure you work as a manager for a band? Oh, he loved this question.
Are you sure you don't work in a band?
After he told the rest what had happened, all hell broke out.
"...I can't believe I'm dating Hoshina Utau..." Kukai said over and over as he stared out the window they sat next to.
Kukai was shocked becasue he was told he got to pretend to date his all time crush.
Ikuto? His poor little pop star heart was torn to pieces when Amu turned him down flat. He tried to kiss her but apparently she didn't want that and he was a perverted cosplay cat that tried to steal little girls' first kisses. He was surprised that she managed to say that in one breath along with a long chain of profanities. Also how fast she managed to get out of the mansion and slam the door shut.
They couldn't even laugh at him because they were too busy with their own problems.
Well, Nagi was just shocked by all the news they gave him all at once. It was too much for him to handle so he kinda just broke down.
"Um... Why do you guys look like the world just ended?" They heard a familiar voice ask. They all turned to the girl and froze. It was the manager of the place, the girl who found out who they were.
I know, I know... Sure they wanted the girls to find out about their band but not this way.
"Ugh. Look, I told Tadase this earlier. I'm not going to tell." She reassured them. "The last thing I want is to ruin someone's life." She said and sighed.
"...You swear?" Tadase questioned. She rolled her eyes and nodded.
"...Wait, did you tell Amu and Rima?" Nagi asked with a suspicious look. Jewel shook her head and they sighed in relief.
"I'll leave that up to you when you manage to win their hearts." She teased. Nagi blushed but Ikuto just grimmaced. She raised an eyebrow at him and let out a short laugh. "Don't tell me you already screwed up..." She joked.
"...Tch. As if." He replied. Jewel sighed and shook her head.
"Whatever. Since you guys came, I'll tell you my name. I'm Garnet Jewel. But just keep calling me Jewel." She introduced with s small smile. Tadase frowned.
"Garnet? As in the rare stone?" He asked. Jewel's smile widened and she nodded.
"Yup. That's kinda why my parents named me Jewel. And blue's my favorite color, which is also the rarest kind of garnets." She explained.
"Woah... That's pretty cool." Kukai commented. Jewel nodded.
"So are you guys gonna enjoy the music now? You're missing out." She joked and pointed towards the band. "Oh yeah. If you're looking for Amu and Rima, they're over there." She said and motioned to a table near the front. Nagi and Ikuto's eyes widened as they landed on their table. Tadase and Kukai resisted the urge to laugh at them but they were in no better position.
"Are you working tonight?" Tadase asked Jewel. She shooked her head.
"Nope. Why?" She asked. He raised an eyebrow at her work uniform. She laughed nervously. "What? This isn't my work outfit." She said. His eyes widened.
"...So you just wear fancy clothes all the time?" He asked. She glared at him. He chuckled and motioned for her to come closer so he could whisper. She gave him a suspicious look, saying 'Don't try anything or your dead' before leaning down. "If you're not working, wanna go somewhere with me?" He whispered. Her eyes widened and she blushed.
"Wh-Why would I do that?!" She silently shouted. He smirked and shrugged.
"Come on... Please?" He begged with his old prince smile. Her blush deepened but she reluctantly nodded. He grinned and took her hand before leading her out of the resturant, going unnoticed by his bandmates.
"...So... You guys gonna make your move?" Kukai asked the two in front of him. They shot him a quick glare before continuing to stare at the two girls. He chuckled and shook his head. "And you wonder how she could call you a stalker..." He joked. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and pulled it out. "Oh. Looks like it's time for me to go hand with Utau." He stated and got up.
"I thought you guys were just pretending to date?" Nagi stated and raised an eyebrow at the idiotic drummer. Kukai laughed and shrugged.
"That doesn't mean I can't hang out with her." He retorted and left the loud cafe. Ikuto chuckled at his friend's quick comeback and sighed.
"Staring at them isn't getting us anywhere..." He stated and leaned against the stiff cushions of the booth. Nagi nodded and sighed. "...Well, this is going to kill me either way but I'm heading over there to tease my little strawberry." He declared and moved to get up.
"Ha. Since when was she yours?" Nagi teased. Ikuto froze when he got out and smirked at his friend.
"...Almost." He said and walked over to the girls. Nagi scoffed and watched.
"I gotta see this train wreck." He said and smirked at his friend.
Ikuto walked up to the girls and smirked.
"Yo." He greeted. Rima whispered something to Amu and walked over to where Ikuto came from.
"Rima! Don't leave me here with this pervert!" Amu shouted but her words were drowned out by the loud music. Ikuto sat next to Amu and his smirk widened.
"Nice to see you too strawberry..." He teased. Amu blushed and turned away from him. "Aw... The little strawberry's turning extra red just for me." He said and leaned in closer. She scooted her chair away and kept her eyes fixed on the floor.
"Stop calling me that. My name's Amu." She ordered.
"I never got your full name. And you have to tell me because I came." He stated. She bit her lip nervously.
"...Hinamori Amu." She said.
"Was that so hard strawberry?" He teased and poked her arm. She growled and hit his hand away.
"It's Amu!" She shouted and started to 'attack' him. Which didn't hurt at all. He chuckled and continued to tease her while she'd just shout pervert.
"So if I make you laugh, you'll stop glaring at me?" Nagi asked with a determined expression. Rima rolled her eyes and nodded. He grinned and moved from the seat in front of her to the open space right next to her. Her glare hardened.
"What do you think your'e doing?" She asked harshly. He wore an evil grin that scared her and he suddenly started to tickle her stomach, causing her to laugh until she was crying. "St-Stop-p! Kn-Knock it o-off!" She shouted and tried to stop his hands. He pulled away, a triumphant grin all over his lips.
"I win. No more glaring." He said. Rima just glared.
"That didn't count." She argued. He laughed.
"Yeah it did. So stop glaring at me when I didn't do anything." He ordered. She sighed and nodded. "Wait, why were you glaring at me in the first place?" He asked. She rasied an eyebrow at him.
"It's hard not to when you look so damn suspicious." She answered. He laughed nervously and knew that she was right.
He and Ikuto couldn't wait until they could take off their damn disguises. That would be the day they made the girls fall for them and notice who The Rare Four really were. But...
Was all this just to get them to know their name?
~Let's Break the Rules~
Kukai: It was a long chapter but all over the place.
Jewel: Well this story focuses all on you guys so it's kinda hard.
Ikuto: Whatever. Someone do the ending already.
Tadase: Fine. Please R&R.
Nagi: What about me?!
