I'm back! :D
Sorry for not updating in forever, but I came down with the sickness of Writers Block, a horrible disease.
It's been a while, and I'm starting to lose interest in this story because I'm losing all ideas! Plus, I feel like I'm rushing the plot too much, and new ideas pop in my mind but I cant add it in without feeling like the story is to much.
Please tell me what you think I should do! D: But, anyways, please review! Dont be a silent viewer, I have annoynmous thingy set to ok for a reason! 3
But, anyways, here is Chapter 5!
I sat nervously on the bed in the infirmary. The nurse had told me to stay and wait for Kukai even though it was time to go home, saying that I need a man to help me just in case I faint again. Emiko stayed silent as she sat next to me, looking as if she is in deep thought. I stood up from the bed, earning attention from both the nurse and Emiko.
"I…I can't face Kukai now…" I said slowly, and then I took off running out of the room and down the halls. I bumped into someone and fell back on my butt. I rubbed it, and then stood up quickly and looked down at who I had bumped into to apologize. But the words were caught in my throat. I had bumped into Kukai. He looked up and my muddy brown eyes met his emerald ones.
"Amu?" he whispered in a relieved voice. My own eyes filled with tears, and then I took off running the way I had been going.
"Wait! Hinamori!" Kukai called after me, and I heard him following. I kept running, but knowing Kukai, he character changed with Daichi who just happened to finally pop in. (Omgz, forgive me but I forgot to include Daichi last chapter…He was…taking a nap somewhere ? T_T Gomen! DX)
I was soon pinned against the wall by Kukai. I panted, and I avoided looking in his eyes.
"Hinamori? It's really you isn't it?" he whispered, removing one hand from my shoulders to my chin, trying to make me look up.
"Yes…" I said softly, and then I finally looked in Kukai's eyes. The next thing he did really surprised me.
He pulled me off the wall and enveloped me in a big hug, my arms at my side I couldn't hug back. The sweet scent of vanilla enveloped me.
"I really missed you, you know that?" Kukai said, pushing me back a little so he could look me in the eyes.
"Me too…I didn't…want you to see me like this though…"I trailed off, looking down at my feet.
"It's okay…I didn't care how you looked, I just wanted to see you," he said, and I looked up. I smiled, tears trailing down my cheek. It was then that Daichi spoke up.
"Uhh…Hinamori, Where's Ran, Miki, and Su?" he asked, worry clearly in his voice. My smile instantly turned into a frown, as I avoided meeting their eyes.
"They…are in their eggs….I haven't seen them since you left," I whispered sadly, thinking about my dream. I really want to see them and meet this new Chara…
"Oh…Can we come over to your house then? I don't really have much to do…" he trailed off. I nodded, but then a very crucial thought occurred.
"Ah! I forgot! I was going to meet some people at this café!" I shouted, and took off running out of the school.
"What?" Kukai called after me, following me.
"Kukai please get Emiko for me! I'm pretty sure you can catch up, meet me at the park we always went to!" I called back, leaving behind a confused Kukai.
I reached the park, panting heavily and being tired as heck. I sat down randomly on the ground and lay down, catching my breath. I know I was supposed to meet Mint and all her co-workers/friends, but I want to have some friends of my own. Wow, I just thought friends of my own….it feels good to say that again.
"Yo! Hinamori!" I heard someone call me. I look up and see Kukai running with a confused Emiko following. She had swirls in her magenta eyes behind her tiny glasses. She must not have run like Kukai does…well, I highly doubt anyone has. Daichi was floating behind Kukai, not really in the line of sight of Emiko.
"Hey Kukai, Emiko-Chan. When we go in that café, call me Sakura or Micha please," I said, pointing to the cozy little café. They nodded, and then followed me into the café. Once we were inside, we were hit with a wave of mocha, coffee, and the buzzing noise of conversation. The waitresses with the odd cat ears and tails greeted a welcome, but they were busy helping all the customers.
"Woahh….it smells really good in here!" Daichi drooled, his eyes slightly closed as he took in the smell. The waitresses, glanced over in our direction and Emiko looked around.
"Umm…did you guys hear that?" Emiko asked, blinking at Kukai and I. I looked around panicked; Emiko can hear Shugo Charas but it didn't appear that she could see them. Yet.
"Uhh, no! You must be tired from the running, let's get you a coffee!" Kukai said, rushing to explain.
"Yeah! Uh, Mint-Chan!" I called to the girl with short dark green hair. She glanced at me, and smiled. She rushed over to the girl with long wavy blond hair, and whispered in her ear. She gave her puppy eyes, and it appeared that the blond girl gave in because Mint had a relieved look. She then rushed to serve other customers while the blond girl came over. Okay, now I was 99.99% sure that this girl was Rima. She had the same hair, the same doe-like eyes, and she was short. But that 00.01% of uncertainty comes from the fact that she looks happy and all. The Rima in the Guardians always had either an annoyed or impassive look on her face.
"Hello! Welcome to Café ChuChu, I am you waitress Rima, and yes, I do know it is you Amu-Chan. I will explain later, not with everyone here," the petite girl said, whispering the last part only for me to hear. I nodded my head slightly, but it appeared that Kukai and Emiko were fuming. They are still probably mad about what happened earlier…
"Guys, it's okay…Rima was one of the few who just stood there," I whispered to them; it was true. Rima would just stand by with anger and sorrow in her eyes whenever Tadagay and Saaya hurt me. Yeah, I called Tadase Tadagay. That is his huge secret. He's bi, and if I told everyone it would freak everyone out. I would tell because of all the hurt he put me through, but I am trying to be the mature one here.
We followed her back to the little table where I had sat before. I plopped down sinking into the cushion and Kukai sat next to me while Emiko sat across from us.
"What would you like?" Rima asked, pulling out a little writing pad. Her silver ears twitched, and then it occurred to me that possibly those ears were Shugo Chara Character Changes or such. And since when did Rima get a second Shugo Chara?
"Hot Chocolate," I replied, remembering they don't have Frappes.
"Make that two," Emiko said timidly, and smiling a little. Emiko is so shy around new people, it makes me wonder why she had such…spunk when it came to talking to me. Although 'spunk' isn't the correct word, it was the only word that came to mind when she was talking to me.
"Three, and Rima, I need an explanation as to why a girl that I love was being hurt," Kukai added, staring dead serious into Rima's dawn-like eyes. She sweatdropped, and then nodded her head, scurrying off to get our drinks. And it was then that Kukai's words sunk in. My face flushed red and I looked away, happy yet sad at the same time. Happy because he pretty much said he loved me, but the way he said it made it sound like he loved more than one. Plus, I was like a sister to him; he could never like me the way I like him…
"I hope she will explain everything…those cat ears are so weird, and I keep hearing little voices," Emiko spoke up, ending the silence. So she will have a Shugo Chara…
"Yeah, she will. We know about the little voices, and if you ever see an egg with a special design, do not freak out when a little person pops out," Kukai joked, and laughed. I laughed along nervously, judging Emiko's reaction. She looked so confused!
"Don't worry now, but remember what he said," I quickly covered for him. She just nodded her head, and it was back to silence.
Our drinks came, and I sipped it feeling the warmth of the drink filling me. I smiled contently, and closed my eyes feeling comfortable. I leaned back into the cushion and I felt my back hitting something a little thin. Then, an arm wrapped around me.
I opened my eyes quickly, and saw that Kukai's arm was around my neck. His other hand held his drink and he was sipping at it, staring at me. My face, still not completely recovered from the earlier blush, went right back to that dreaded shade of pink. Kukai smiled his special smile, and I smiled too.
"You two would really look cute as a couple," a voice called. We snapped our heads up and saw Mint and Rima standing by our table. The Café was almost emptied out, freeing us to talk. The other three waitresses were busy cleaning, but I was certain they would come to explain also.
"N-no we aren't!" I stuttered, sitting forward away from Kukai a little. Everyone just laughed and Rima and Mint sat down, Rima next to me and Mint next to Emiko.
"Okay Amu-Chan, I'm pretty sure you guessed that these ears are from Character Changes, right?" Rima started. I nodded my head and waited for more.
"Well, that's true. It's a little confusing, so wait for Icy, Mint's older sister' to explain it better. I just wanted to clear that up," Rima explained a little. So I was right about that…So…maybe that other Shugo Chara in my dream…was a Chara just like these waitresses?
"Oh yeah, Amu-Chan. We will introduce you to our Charas, but, before we do, we must wait for yours to hatch. Also, we are telling you so much not just because you have a Chara or anything, but because you are the 7th member of the group," Mint continued.
"But…who is the 6th? There are only five of you here…"I trailed off, trying to remember if there was another waitress not here? But…they were all here…
"Oh, that is Emiko-Chan. Her egg is in her bag as we speak," Mint chirped. There was a little silence, before I gasped and stared at Emiko astonished. She sat there with her bangs hanging in her eyes.
"Emiko, is that true?" I asked.
"…Yeah…I never wanted to tell you because it's weird…I'm sorry for lieing to you Amu-Chan!" Emiko rushed out, tears forming at her eyes.
"Woah! It's okay! Don't worry, we all have our secrets," I quickly said, and I felt Kukai slightly flinch next to me. I didn't think too much about it, but I was a little curious to know why he flinched.
"Okay okay, can we get off the topic of secrets? It's getting a little akward for me," Kukai said, laughing normally, but I could tell there was a hint of nervousness in it. Everyone started laughing, and then we chatted like normal teens, waiting for the other waitresses to finish.
But, my suspicions were building against Kukai, and I was determined to find out why he was so sketchy and such about secrets.
