OK, so the last chapter was very sad. Mwahaha! I am soooo evil! Anyways, enjoy this next chapter. I will try to update one last time, but if I don't, this is the last update for two whole weeks! Fans, stay strong with me.
"Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane.
As I burn another page,
As I look the other way,
I still try to find my place,
In the diary of Jane."

The Diary of Jane
A girlfriend? Why? He had always shown his affection towards me. I had only not accepted him because I had been ten. I thought that maybe when he got back, I would confess to him. That we would be together. But now... this girl. This stupid, idiotic girl. She had to go and ruin all of that. "Sayuri? You OK?" No. "Yes. I'm fine." I replied.
"Yuki-chan has told me so much about you!" exclaimed Mitsuki. I just nodded. "Well, I'm late for something, so if you don't mind, I need to get going." I said softly. I got up, stuffing my books and various sheets into my bag. "Hey, Sayuri-" Yuki called after me. But I was gone. I let the tears slowly spill from my eyes. I got home, hanging up my bag. I ran to my room. I broke down on the bed. Sobs escaped my mouth, and I sobbed the harder. I fell asleep on my bed, dreams of Yuki and Mitsuki haunting my head...

I woke up slowly, rubbing my eyes. Chie was sulking quietly at the window. I threw back the covers, only to see an egg. "Chie!" I called. "Yes?" she asked bitterly. I felt sorry for her. She had liked Hitoki. But, I had noticed an egg on the girl's belt. He was probably in love, too. She bobbed over slowly. "Ah, an egg." she said with no tone.
I picked it up. It was half black, half white. I set it down on my dresser, and went to take a quick shower. I felt absolutely horrid after my sleep. I came in, toweling my hair dry, only to see the egg shaking. So soon? Chie was eyeing it curiously. I walked over to it, setting down my towel. It cracked, and popped open.
The character inside wore a leather suit, half black, half white. She held a necklace with a black and white Rook chess piece on it. She had spiky white hair, and large red eyes. "Ah, mistress!" she declared, bowing low. Chie was taken aback. Were charas supposed to act like this? "Who are you?" I asked her. "I am the Chess Master, more commonly known as Amaterasu. You two are welcome to call me Tera. Sayuri-chan?" I nodded. "You are my new mistress. In your past lives, you have been known as The Guardian, The Master, and The strategizer." she said, handing over the necklace to me carefully. "You are the guardian of the Humpty Lock and Dumpty Key." she told me. "This necklace is typically called The Wall Piece." she finished. "Um... why?" I asked. She looked at me as though it was obvious. "Humpty Dumpty, and the Wall, mistress. He fell of the wall." she explained.
"Has it always been a Rook?" I asked. "No. My last mistress had the Knight." she told me. I put the necklace on. I knew it. Something bigger had been coming. "So, what's my job?" I asked. "You must protect the holders of the Humpty Lock and Dumpty Key at all costs. You must also see to the finding of the Embryo, and that it is found by the right hands. If you fail, the price may be fatal. But not just to you. The current holder of the Humpty Lock is none other than Ai Satomi. The previous holder of the Dumpty key was your father, Ikuto Tsukiyomi. The current owner, however, is Yukio Takahashi." she finished. Yuki had it? I looked at the little character, to the necklace on my neck.
It all of a sudden began to glow white. "Erm, what's it doing?!" I exclaimed. "It's picking up a signal from the Dumpty Key. Obviously, the owner is in need of help." she said. I got up. "OK, Tera, Chie, let's go!" I said quickly, dashing to the door.
I got to the location where the glow was strongest. I really didn't want to see Yuki right now. Oh well. I spotted Izanagi on the other end of the field I was near, along with Yoko. I then saw Yuki in chara-nari, along with a girl who I recognized as his girlfriend in the chara-nari, as well. I quickly ran to the other end. Yuki spotted me after a minute. "Go away, Sayuri. Mitsuki makes up the Rose Pair now." he told me. Screw Mitsuki. "Go home." he told me. "No. I can't do that." I replied. "Tera, character change!" I called. "As you wish." she bowed.
(I just have to do this again. It's really fun!XD) The background formed a chess board, and I began to spin. Tera went inside her egg, and circled around me slowly until I stopped spinning. The egg slipped through my chest, and I turned around in a leap. A high necked shirt appeared, that ended below the chest. Two tails jutted back, and white ruffles trailed under one tail, while black on the other. Shorts formed, half black, half white, and leggings black and white. Long gloves that were black or white with red appeared, and a checkered headband formed on my head. I crouched down, to pose. "Chara-nari: Chess Master." we said in unison.
Yuki was looking confused. I bowed slowly.
"I am the Chess Master, protector of the holders of the Humpty Lock and Dumpty Key. How may I be of service?"
"There's a fine line,
Between love and hate.
And I don't mind.
Just let me say that I like that.
I like that..."
