And...I love you all! You guys are just so amazing with your reviews and you all deserve better. I am going to try to work on it more and I really hope I get reviews and you guys like it.

So...heres to story!

We reached my house, and by then, my lungs hurt and swirls were forming in my eyes. Kukai was laughing as he took in breaths of air also.

"Don't…you ever….ever….do that…again!" I hissed at him, taking deep breaths in between.

"Haha! Hinamori, you are really out of shape! I don't care that you changed a little, but you need to keep exercising!" Kukai laughed, wiping an imaginary tear away and giving me that goofy grin of his. My anger almost instantly washed away with that smile.

We were silent for a little while; the only sound was the swaying of the trees and the chirp of the birds. Kukai had come to sit by me. He was so close and his hand was open, palms up. I really just wanted to reach for his hand and hold it…

My own hand inched its way to his, and once our hands were millimeters apart, I was about to touch his hand.

And then, he suddenly stood up.

I jerked my hand back, and stared at him in surprise because of how fast he moved. My heart was speeding and I'm pretty sure my face is a hazy shade of pink at the moment. Kukai turned to me, and he was grinning from ear to ear like the Cheshire Cat.

"N-nani?" I stuttered, cursing myself for that stupid habit when I'm embarrassed. Kukai just grabbed my arm and hoisted me up, then moved his hand down my arm to my hand and held it. He pushed open my door-which I had stupidly forgotten to lock this morning-and dragged me inside and up the stairs.

We stopped in front of the bathroom and he pushed open the door and stood me in front of the mirror. I eyed him questioningly in the mirror, raising an eyebrow. Kukai just kept smiling.

It was then that I noticed that he had picked up the bottle of dye remover. My muddy brown eyes widened and I twirled around to face him.

He was closer than I thought. The mirror made it seem like he was maybe a foot away, but in reality, he was only inches away. My heart beat hammered against my chest as I tried to will the stupid hazy red from appearing.

"Hehe. Just stay still so I can get the Hinamori Amu I knew back," Kukai said, completely ignoring the fact I was a tomato! Thank goodness for Kukai's stupidity sometimes…

"O-okay…" I said, turning back around and staring at the mirror. Kukai was about to start, but his reflection in the mirror were staring right into my eyes.

"Ne, take out those contacts. The Hinamori I knew didn't have brown eyes…or black hair," Kukai said, smiling a little. I nodded slowly, and looked in the mirror, leaning in and slowly taking out right my contact. All of a sudden, Kukai yelped in surprise as a crash of a liquid sprayed half of my hair. I squeezed my eyes shut because that liquid was really cold! When I opened my eyes, I nearly screamed.

Somehow, Kukai accidently opened the bottle of dye remover, and it splashed one side of my hair. Coincidently, the side without the contacts lenses. So now, I was staring at a me with a completely split appearance. One side was the depressed me. The other was the real me.

My heart sped, remembering how I had said that I wanted to go back to me and show those fools of friends that I will come back.

This…this was my chance…

"Uhh…Sorry…"Kukai suddenly said. He was standing to the side of me, rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish look on his face. At first I couldn't speak, but then I cleared my voice.

"Kukai…please…please finish it," I said softly, turning to face him. He looked at me in surprise, and then his face turned into a worn smile.

"Ah, okay Hinamori. It's just that…"Kukai said slowly.

"It's just what?"

"I…uh…kinda dropped it all…we have to get more…" Kukai said a light pink spreading across his face. My head was clouded with worry, but then it cleared once again.

"It's okay. Can you please go get more? I'll wait here. I don't want people thinking I'm a freak," I said, with a little bit of attitude sticking out at the end. Oh…there goes the 'Cool & Spicy' act again.

Kukai smiled, realizing that that part of me was returning. He then said, "Kay! I'll be right back. DON'T GO ANYWHERE!" And he took off running out the door. I heard the front door open and then slam close.

All was silent in the house. I glanced at myself in the mirror again and smiled a shy, little smile. Then, I walked to my room looking at my still girly room. Then, my eye caught something slightly colorful that was normally dull and gray. My heart sped up again for the umpteenth time-seriously, when am I gonna die of heart failure or something yet?-and I cautiously approached my desk, never taking my eyes off the basket on the top shelf. I closed my multi-colored eyes, and took the basket off the shelf. I slowly opened my eyes and nearly cried.

My eggs had regained their color. Well…almost. One half was marked half an X while the other regained color. There was that strange coloring, but this time, there was a fifth one. It had the same pattern as the others, except it was gray with black paw-prints going across the white band; one half marked with an X. I was guessing that this was the egg everyone at Café Chu Chu was talking about, and I couldn't wait for it to hatch.

But, as of now, I quickly and gently picked up Ran's egg, feeling the same warmth I felt on that first day. I was sad that the egg was half colored, but at least progress was going along nicely. I laughed at the irony of the half coloring.

I'm half colored and my eggs are too. I'm pretty sure just because I am half me, and half depressed that doesn't mean my eggs are like that. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe it's not.

But as of now, I was so close to getting my Charas back.

So there it is...Yeah.

Amu-Chan's charas are back BUT! They are half-colored. So, please review like always! Thanks so much for the support I've gotten so far and stuff...

LOVE YOU ALLLLLLLLLL~!~! :D c(:
