Hahaha, gomen everyone *bows* It's been a while, and I am sorry for the wait. My computer crashed, and they took forever to get it fixed, claiming there was a backup of the part in China. I only kept my sanity by going over to my friends house and using her computer. That aside- enjoy the story~ ^.^
Oh- and make sure to read the message at the bottom~

Que the Drama
"Class, this is Yume Tsubasa, treat her well," said my teacher as I stood in front of my new class.
"Why does she have that funny name?" cried some kid who was picking his nose.
"Jimmy," my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, reprimanded.
I blushed slightly and looked at my feet, but mumbled out, "I part Japanese."
"What?!" yelled Jimmy.
"Speak up sweety," urged Mrs. Johnson.
But I didn't want to speak up, she heard me, so why couldn't she just let me sit down? She could tell the class, and they would listen to her because she's a grown-up.
My brow crinkled in discontentment, but I picked up my head some and spoke louder, "I'm part Japanese."
"You ain't no Japan-person! You look like us!" another kid accused.
I inwardly flinched, but defended myself, "My mama is Japanese and my papa is American. I look more like my papa so I look more American."
I had explained myself the best a five year old could, but apparently is wasn't enough, "So you look like a boy?!" a girl yelled.
The class laughed uproariously at this, but I didn't find it the least bit funny.
"Class!" snapped Mrs. Johnson, obviously upset with her class's rude conduct.
"Sorry Mrs. Johnson," the class said back in unison.
I was upset, and I was sniffling, but I refused to cry. It was wimpy to cry, and I didn't want to be wimpy.
"Sit down next to miss Liberty, if you would miss Yume," said my teacher kindly.
I nodded shyly and shuffled to my seat next to a girl who was waving her hand wildly.
When I got to my desk and sat down, a hand was shoved in front of my face. I traced the hand back to the girl- I think her name was Liberty- who was grinning wildly.
This girl was certainly weird. She had dirty blond hair in a side ponytail and bright green eyes. She was wearing a blue shirt that had what I faintly recognized as a British flag on it, and a short black skirt with black sandals on her feat. She wore a necklace with a bubblegum pink heart and had a bunch of bracelets on her left hand ranging from light blue, light green, and pink, and had a ring on her right hand with a light blue butterfly.
"Hi! My name is Liberty! I have a weird name too, so you don't need to worry! People look at me funny because liberty means "beating the man", or at least that's what some guy on the street with long blond hair told me, and it's not supposed to be a name. My brother told me my mum was drunk when she named me. I asked my cousin- she's really smart- what drunk meant, and she said it's when you take a bath, but when you put water on your hair to wash it, you drink some by accident. Since I got my name because my mom was washing her hair, I'm going to be a hairstylist when I grow up. I'll do your hair when I open up my shop, because it's so cool!" she little girl exclaimed all in one breath.
I was slightly weirded out by this girl, but was grateful since she was the first person that was nice to me.
"That's fun, I'm sure you'll be a great hairstylist," I smiled as I shook her offered hand.
"You do?! Really and truly?!" Liberty exclaimed with her eyes glittering.
"Liberty, would you please refrain from getting our new student in trouble on her first day?" Mrs. Johnson said sternly, but couldn't get the amusement out of her eyes.
"Sorry," Liberty blushed slightly.
As soon as our teacher turned around, my new friend whispered one last thing to me, "Call me Libby, I hate my full name."
I smiled lightly and nodded my head in concurrence, thus completely satisfying the newly dubbed Libby.
I allowed myself to smile slightly as I began on focusing on the lesson, maybe school wouldn't be so bad after all.......
".....uri, Yuri, Yuri-chan, snap out of it cha nya~!"
I snapped out of my daze, and gave a very intelligent "huh?"
Kaori sighed irritably and said, "you spaced out again Yuri-chan. That's not very good manners."
"Ah, gomen, gomen. I was just thinking," I said back while waving it off.
"When are you not?" snorted Kokoro.
"nya!" I stuck out my tongue at my sports chara and ran away as she playfully chased me. The other charas huffed in annoyance and flew to catch up with me.
We ran/flew the rest of the way to Seiyo and stopped in front of the gate panting and laughing. My charas and I bantered a little bit more, before I composed myself and walked into the courtyard.
"Hey, you reckon they might leave you alone today Yume-chan, cha nya~?" asked Yume lazily as she rode on my shoulder.
"I doubt it, life hates me too much for that," I said blandly.
"Pessimist, cha nya~"
"Well, life just sucks."
"If life didn't suck, we'd all fall off, cha nya~."
"....Touche`," I smirked.
"Pay attention you two, Yume's minions- I mean admirers, have noticed her," scolded Kaori.
"Don't sound like such an old hag," mumbled Kokoro loud enough for us to hear.
"What did you say?!" gasped Kaori incredulously.
"She s-said "you make me look like an old hag"," offered Akira, blushing.
Damn, sometimes she could lie just as well as Kaori if she wanted to keep the peace. It always works out in the end though.
Akira's hasty lie seemed to defuse the situation. Kaori seemed to preen herself in pride of her beauty, and Kokoro seemed to be content with making faces behind her back.
I was distracted from my charas by some kids coming up to me. "Hi Knight-sempai!" squealed a brunet clad in pigtails.
Oh, that's delightful, it appears my nickname has caught on.
"Just call me Yume," I muttered while adjusting my glasses uncomfortably.
The three girls- the brunet, one with black hair and silver glasses, and the last one orange haired and sporting a stylish heart clip- gasped as if I've spoken blasphemy.
"We could never be so informal!" screeched the black haired one.
See, this is why I like America. We don't have this formality crap, heck, we can address someone by "hey, you with the face", and no one would give a crap. I could care less if they just called me by my real name, and, seriously, they were like a year younger than me!
I felt my eye twitch, but muttered, "whatever."
"Calm and cool!" screeched my fan club.
You can not imagine my joy at this moment.
"Oh, Knight-sempai, did you know we have another assembly today?" questioned orangey.
"Oh, no I didn't," I said. It figures though, since Daisuke and I did accept to being Guardians.
Huh, come to think of it, where the hell are my charas?!
"Knight-sempai?"
"Huh?" I questioned.
The girls blushed, "sorry, you just seemed to space out there for a moment."
"Oh, don't worry about that, it happens all the time," I said, offering a smile.
"Kyaa, sempai is so nice," cried the brunet with hearts in all their eyes.
I sweatdropped at this, but didn't get a chance to respond.
"Yume-sempai," I turned to see the kid that kicked the soccer ball yesterday.
"To be so direct with Knight-sempai....."
"Oh, it's Kukai-kun!"
So his name is Kukai, huh.
"Yeah kid?" I asked (and let is be noted that I call anyone that is young "kid").
He swallowed and said, "I've decided. That way you kicked the ball yesterday was just awesome! I want to be able to do that too, so I've decided, I'm going to be the greatest soccer player ever! I've loved soccer forever, but now I'm going to go for it wholeheartedly, yosh!"
I saw what I thought was a brilliant flash and looked around for the source, but then realized it was coming from the Kukai kid. His hearts egg was glowing. Huh, and we didn't have enough new charas around her already.......
I unconsciously start to fiddle with my seven pointed star, and allowed a lopsided smirk onto my face, "Heres to ya kid."
"And I'll make sure sempai falls in love with me!" [1]
Okay, he lost me.
I froze, and the courtyard exploded into chatter.
"Did you hear that?!"
"No, I'm deaf," (okay, that's actually just what I would've said back)
"Kukai and Knight-sempai, kyaa!"
"But she can't take my Kukai-kun!"
"He can't be so direct with Knight-sempai!"
I could even see my charas holding up signs like: "Go for it Yume-chan!", "Kick his ass!", "Get me some damn sea-food, cha nya~!", and "Be careful!". Why those little-
"Do I always have to get to school after Yume causes some mass panic?"
"Halloween-sempai!" Half the student body screeched as soon as they caught sight of Daisuke.
I could clearly see Halloween's distaste at the nickname I had dubbed him.
"What's going on-"
"Nothing Halloween, let's go find the Guardians," I said as I grabbed his arm and dragged him into the auditorium. Yes, I was avoiding my issues, but do I care?
When we got inside, I let go of Halloween's arm and he calmed down from the flustered manner he seemed to be in. God knows why this boy is so flustered around girls, he seems like such a playboy type. Though, I suppose Akuma isn't here for nothing.
"Hey, where's your charas?" I asked when I noticed the severe lack of perverted comments and hyperactive talking.
"As soon as I walked in the gates, your charas abducted mine, taking my egg with them," He grouched.
I nodded as I remembered the pretty egg that Daisuke had produced the other day. We were to the auditorium by now, so I opened the doors and wasn't surprised to see the guardians setting up
"Hey, it's Yume-chan and that other guy," chorused the twins upon noticing us.
The king and queen looked up from what they were doing and smiled (or at least Sakura did) at us.
"Good to see you have enough common sense to come before the assembly," said Natsume.
"Dude, I can purify X eggs on my freaking own. Don't diss my intelligence," I said back calmly, but with obvious underlying anger as my glasses flash (I did a total Kyoya XD).
"Fair enough," he said with a hint of a smile.
"Are the charas here?" asked Daisuke.
"Osu, they're over there," said Megumi as she gestured on the side of the stage where the charas were on a cardboard box and huddled in a circle.
"Heisei, Akuma, and Kokoro won't let us listen," pouted Mahou, but almost instantly brightened into a mischievous smile that his twin sister immediately copied.
"We'll get Yin and Yang to tell us though," they chorused happily.
"Uh hu," I muttered as I pushed Daisuke in front of me so the twins could focus on annoying him, and headed over to the chara conference.
What can I say? I've known him for three days, I'm not that loyal yet.
I approached the charas without hassle and squatted down next to the cardboard box.
"Wassup?" I asked in a bored tone.
The charas whipped their head towards me and my charas froze as if they had seen the devil himself (though he's sitting right next to them, trying and failing to flirt with Sakura's chara Kyuuten).
"We are discussing important matters, I'm afraid I must ask you to leave," said Heisei in a very politically correct manner. He'd make a good politician.
"If you're discussing things, then why did you take Halloween's new chara egg?" I asked curiously.
"Akira didn't feel right leaving him behind, cha nya~," blabbed Sakka.
Akira blushed and looked down shyly.
I smiled gently at her and patted her on the head, "I new you were my favorite for some reason."
"Hey!" three voices cried angrily. The little usagi looked embarrassed, but delighted at the same time.
"Come over here please Yume-san!" called Heisei where he and the others stood. It appeared Daisuke was chasing the twins and attempting to strangle them. It reminded me of Deidara and Tobi from Naruto, except Daisuke had Tobi x2.
Sucks for him.
"Looks like you got your wish, Mr. Politician," I drawled to Heisei as I got up.
"What-" started Heisei, enraged.
"Haha, looks like Heisei got owned!" I heard the twins' charas cry as I walked away.
"I hate being in front of people, I moaned as we walked to the royal garden.
"I wouldn't have guessed, you seemed fine on the stage," said Daisuke with a look of curiosity akin to a puppy.
The assembly wasn't very long, and the student body went in a happy uproar when they found out Daisuke and I agreed to be guardians; the black and white jokers in fact. Sure, there were some people who weren't happy, but I don't need to worry about them. The guardians- though I suppose I'm one officially now- told us that they had cleared it with the teachers to have celebratory snacks after the assembly ended.
I'm not going to learn anything in this school, am I? *sweatdrop*
"I'm a little nervous in front of crowds, but I'm fine as long as I don't have to say anything," I said.
"Never would have thought. I get so jittery, I just can't seem to stay calm," He said as he ran his fingers through his black locks.
"I noticed," I said before I thought it through, but then added, "You seem like a smart boy, I'm sure you'll get better."
"Yeah," he smiled.
"Kyuuten, what's wrong?" Sakura asked, her blue eyes filled with worry.
I looked up ahead and saw most of the charas, save Daisuke's and mine. My face tightened slightly in worry as I saw they were out of breath.
"Where's everyone else?" asked Natsume urgently.
"We felt this weird X energy and went to go check it out-" started Yin.
"Without us?!" exploded Natsume. If I wasn't worried, I'd be shocked. I guess Natsume wasn't as clam as I thought.
"Don't yell at Yin!" shouted Yang as he flew in front of his teary somewhat sister.
"We don't have time for this!" I snapped impatiently, intervening between the boy and the charas.
"Yeah, where's Daisuke's-"
"And Yume-sempai's charas?" asked the twins.
"These two weird guys came and-"
"Yume-chan, it's them!" cried Kaori as she zipped from the trees to us.
"Them?" I asked, my face draining of color, "How- it's not even possible-"
"Kaori, where's my egg?" asked Halloween, who had been unnaturally quiet, calmly.
"Awww, if it isn't little Yume."
I looked up and saw two boys, one in the air, and one on the top of a tree.
The boy in the tree had dark green hair in a horsetail and hard obsidian eyes. He had on a black leather jacket, a dark green t-shirt, black jeans, and black combat boots. He had a less than friendly sneer on his lean face and held a threatening black scythe that was nearly twice the size of himself.
The other boy was floating on what appeared to be an old scratched up skateboard that had been upgraded into an hover-board. He had brown hair sticking out from under an orange beanie and honey gold eyes. He had on an orange and black hoodie, baggy black jeans that he had his hands stuffed in, and black and white checkered vans. His face was full of childish innocence, and the cruel glint in his eyes seemed completely out of place.
"Hayashi(forest) Sanjo(cutting away or support) and Heki(false) Hoshou(security)," I rasped, unable to believe my eyes.
"It's a nice day for an omelet, isn't it?" queried Hayashi as he took out Daisuke's new egg
And squeezed
[1] for any of you who were like "wtf" when Kukai said he loved her, he's in third grade for God's sake, he doesn't actually L.O.V.E her, it's just a crush :D
