A/N: In this chapter I had a titanic song in here because I wanted to make a moment with Tira and 'someone' you'll find out. By the way I don't know the song the 'someone' plays in the anime show so don't go flaming me. Thank you, Chasm-chan and ammytaylor who add the story to the story alert/favorite stories list. Now someone told me that Tira was kind of like Amu. I don't really see it. Amu is already changing into a happier self and Tira is still kind of like 'I'll kill you if you touch me' kind of character still so yeah… If Tira does act like Amu, I know it isn't 100%. You just have to read and find out how Tira will act later on.
Disclaimer: I don't own Shugo Chara!, or the Titanic song- just my OC's and their role.
Enjoy!
Chapter 12: Sad Melodies.
"Man, what a day!"
I said, yawning, after I lock the door in my apartment.
"I agree! It has been a long day at school and at work! You must be tried!"
Kiki added, while Luluu nods her head in agreeing.
"I guess. So what do you guys want for dinner?"
I ask, looking in my fridge.
"Cookies!"
Kiki answer, getting Luluu to frown at her good sister.
"No, cookies. That's for after dinner."
"Aww come on, Luluu!"
"Kiki, even I know what's good and bad so stop whining like a kid."
While they kept on spanning to each other, I already knew what to cook. And since I had a long day today, I was going to just get whatever from a can.
"Enough already! I'm making us some good old soup."
I said, taking the can and placing it on the counter and starts looking for a can opener. It has been a few days from the play at Yaya's class. And good news is that Mai can dance again. She just started dancing yesterday so Yaya got us to come over and see her off.
"Man, where is it?"
"You mean this?"
Came a well known voice that I didn't think I'll ever hear again. I stop what I was doing and slowly turn behind me to see none other then Ikuto and his Character, Yoru. And he was holding my can opener too!
"…"
"…"
"…"
"What the hell are you doing in my house?"
I shouted at him, making the Characters flinch, as Ikuto frowns.
"What? I can't see you off now?"
He asks, getting a glare back at him. I then remember what I said to Ikuto after he destroys that X Egg that had that boy's dream in it. 'I hate you!' I frown deeply at that memory while Ikuto stares at me in question.
"What's with the face? You don't want me around?"
Ikuto ask as I made a fist and slap him. Hard.
"Ow! What the hell was that for?"
He shouted as I graph the caller of his shirt with a now death glare.
"For what you did that to the X Egg!"
I shouted, seeing him frown deeply so I let him go and he watches me before looking away from me and notice to see the pile of Easter mail they were still giving me. I then went and took the can opener from him and started opening the can of soup as Kiki, Luluu, and Yoru frown deeply, watching us in silence. After a while, Ikuto went and sat down on the couch in the living room and started watching the TV with his and mine Characters.
"What's up with that guy? I don't get him at all…"
I thought to myself as the soup started to boil and soon me and my Characters, even Yoru join us for some soup. Even though for Yoru, I had to put some tuna in his… Which he liked it.
"Can I join?"
Came Ikuto's voice, getting me to make a fist as the others watch me in wonder. I sigh and took a spoon full of my soup before answering.
"Fine, but you're not getting tuna in yours."
I answer and they sigh in relief. Soon Ikuto had his own bowl of hot soup and join us at the table and silence was back once again. Heck, I even notice Ikuto was staring at me whenever I wasn't looking. After I was finish, I was going to bed when Ikuto stop me by graphing my arm.
"Don't go to bed yet."
Ikuto said, having me to frown. What reason would he want me to stay up?
"Why?"
I ask but he didn't say anything for a few seconds. So when I thought he didn't know what to say, I was about to head over to my bedroom when Ikuto spoke up to my question.
"I want you to forgive me…"
Ikuto said, looking away while I stare at him in surprise. Is he for real? By the look on his face, I say so… I stare at him for a while until he looks back at me.
"You coming or what?"
Ikuto ask again and I frown a little and look behind him to my Characters for help. Kiki had her thumbs up and Luluu had hers down. And as for Yoru… He wasn't listening and was eating the rest of the can of tuna…
"I… Guess so."
Was my reply, getting Ikuto to smile and went over to put on his shoes on as I follow after him and graph my Guardian Eggs and hang them onto my belt. Before I could unlock my front door, Ikuto took my hand and pull over to the window and graph my waist, making me blush.
"What are you doing?"
I snap as my Characters and his follow after us, while he did a Character Change with Yoru.
"You'll see…"
"What do you- Ahhhhh!"
I scream, with me in his arms as he jumps out the window from the tall apartment building outside to the next building across the street!
"What are you doing? Crazy cat!"
I snap in fear while our Characters were right behind us. Ikuto didn't answer me, getting me to notice he was smiling warmly, looking ahead while it made me blush a little in return. Wait… His smile made me blush?
"Almost there."
Ikuto said and before I could ask what he meant, he stops us in front of an ice cream shop.
"Why we at an ice cream shop?"
I ask as Ikuto walk over to the front.
"For ice cream of course."
He answers and starts ordering a chocolate ice cream cone for himself and looks over to me.
"…Chocolate ice cream cone."
I answer his unspoken question and he told the woman and pays for the ice cream after getting ours and started walking together in the park… With out Characters still behind us.
"So… Why you wanted to come over and ask for me to forgive you?"
I ask, watching him take a small lick of his ice cream.
"Will it seems like a good idea. And besides I wanna see you blush again."
Ikuto answers, making me eye widen and… Blush for the third time tonight. Wait… He notices me blushing? I look away, hearing him laugh a little.
"Whatever… I bet you do that to every girl you see."
I said and Ikuto smirks and look over to me, placing his head next to mine, which made me blush even more!
"Only the ones I like the most."
"…Idiot."
I mutter under my breath and he laughs out loudly. I won't fall for his games!
"I think Tira likes him."
Kiki whisper to Luluu and Yoru, who agree, but Luluu only roll hers eyes.
"I agree, nya!"
"I don't."
What they didn't know was that I heard them anyways… I think Ikuto heard it too, because when I look over to him, he was smirking wider now… Great! Just great! After our walk in the park at night with ice cream cones, we sat down on the grass and look at the stars and the whole round moon.
"It's so… Beautiful."
I commented after a moment of silence, getting Ikuto to look over to me as our Characters were near by, playing some game.
"Yeah."
Was Ikuto's reply as I sigh and look over to him.
"…"
I didn't say a word, just staring at his face as he looks back up at the night sky. Now that I think about it… He is cute… But I'm in love for Kukai. I couldn't like two guys anyways… Right?
"Come on."
Ikuto started, getting me to stop thinking and look over to him in question.
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere that might have light for a while. This whole watching the stars is kind of boring me."
Ikuto answers, getting me to frown and stand up as well. Ikuto then took out his hand for me while I stare at his hand.
"Trust me."
"…"
I didn't reply and took his hand and he held me by the waist and call out to our Characters to follow and when he Character Change again; I knew I was going to regret it. And I did. I try not to scream until I notice we were high in the air and the town look so beautiful at night.
"We here."
Ikuto said, putting me down in a dark looking place.
"Where's here?"
"You'll see."
Ikuto answers and left me and my Characters for a second when all of a sudden the lights and power came on and I gasp seeing that it was an old theme park with rides and games all around me.
"A theme park?"
"That's right. I was hoping the power would come back on sooner or later."
Ikuto said, walking back over to me as Yoru follows him. I didn't look at him, but kept on staring at the rides and games.
"Why you'd take me here?"
"Because I wanted you to forgive me. And last time, it was a lot of fun."
Ikuto answers, getting me to look at him in question. Last time? Before I could ask, Ikuto spoke up.
"You're… Not going to ride the tea cups, are you?"
"Wha? I don't know…"
"Okay…"
We didn't speak for a while again. This is starting to bug me now.
"Let's just find a ride."
I said and started walking off, having Ikuto, Yoru, and my Characters follow behind us. You wanna know something? I haven't been on one ride in years. Not before the death of my family that is… When I went on the rides with Ikuto and our Characters… It was the most fun I had. I didn't know what else could make this night even more fun… Until the power died down again and we had to leave.
"Had fun?"
I ask, smiling at the rides we went on.
"Yeah. Did you?"
"Of course! I wouldn't be smiling for nothing, stupid!"
I answer, having him to roll his eyes.
"I better take you home."
That made me frown deeply. I didn't want to go home…
"I don't want to go home…"
I whisper but he heard me and looks over to me with a rise eyebrow. I didn't say a word so Ikuto smile and took out his hand again. Don't tell me he's going to go into the air again!
"Then why don't you follow me?"
Ikuto ask, making me look at him. Was he for real?
"You going to take my hand or do I have to take you home?"
Ikuto ask and I slowly made a small smile and took his hand.
"Lead the way."
I finally answer and instead of Ikuto using Character Change, he led me with our Characters behind us back to the park but this time we went right over to a crowd of people playing music. I wasn't into this kind of music but it made me want to dance.
"Stay here."
Ikuto said and left me before I could say anything and watch him Character Change and jump into the sky to somewhere else. I look up at the sky, listening to… Irish music, which I loved to hear. My Characters started dancing until Luluu notice something coming to the crowd and looks over in question but didn't go off to see who or what it was and soon back to dancing with Kiki. And she was the dark side I want to be…
"I'm back."
Came Ikuto's voice so I look over to see him next to me and I smile at him, even though I was wondering how I didn't notice him coming back.
"Where you- oh."
I cut myself off to see Ikuto carrying a violin case over his shoulder. But then I notice something else Ikuto was carrying besides the case. Hanging on it, was a Key that kind of look like the lock me and Amu have… What is it really?
"Follow me. There are too many people."
Ikuto said, getting me to look back over to him and follow him. We soon made it to an open area near by the crowds of people and their sounds of music as Ikuto open his case by my side and took out his violin and took a few steps back away from me.
"What are you going to play?"
I ask, getting him to look over.
"What song you want me to play?"
He asks and I started to think about it.
"Any song you wanna play."
I answer and he smirks and places the violin under his chin and started to play. At first I didn't know what the song was until he plays a part that I soon found out what it was… It was song and it sounded like a goodbye song… Where did I hear this song before?
"Oh… I remember now…"
Flash Back.
I was 6 years old and was home with my mom, who was cooking dinner. I was watching a movie call Titanic, the true story and it was at the part where the ship was starting to sink by the floors below and people were getting on the smaller boats. There were about four or five people who work on the ship, and they started to play a sad song together. It made me cry… When my mother went into the living to see me watching this, she smile warmly at me and came over and held me close.
"This is a true story."
She said, getting me to look over to her with tears building in my eyes.
"Why? Why are they playing this song?"
I ask, starting to sob.
"Because… It means that this is a goodbye."
End Of Flash Back.
"Nearer My God To Thee…"
I whisper as Ikuto kept on playing.
"What?"
Luluu ask, looking over to me.
"That's the song he's playing… Nearer My God To Thee…"
I answer and I started to look down and started to cry at the moment until I held it back with a smile and started to sing the words out as Ikuto play. He notices my singing and smile and continues to play until he got to a part where it made his smile disappear. The song soon ended and I thought he was going to play more when Amu walks over to us in shock, but didn't have her Character's with her.
"Tira? What are you doing? Why are you here? And with him?"
Amu asks, making me gasps and look over to her as Ikuto started to act cold and took the violin from under his chin. I didn't know what to say! She might be thinking I turn on her and the Guardians for all I know!
"I-I…-!"
"It's nothing… She just heard me play, same as you."
Ikuto answers for me. Now that I notice it, Ikuto just started acting… Cold hearted? I watch him as he puts his violin into the case, making Amu notice the Key.
"Oh! That Key!"
Amu said, pointing at it as Ikuto looks over to her out of the corner of his eye. Ikuto then took the Key and show it to her.
"This is the Dumpty Key. It goes with both of your Humpty locks."
Ikuto said and started over to Amu as I watch him.
"Huh? Huh?"
Amu panic, wondering why he's walking over to her. I then gasp and started to blush when Ikuto starts taking his hand out to her chest!
"Ikuto!"
"What? What…? What are you…?"
Amu stops her question, blushing and was about to scream when Ikuto only graph her lock and stares at it. I didn't notice what he was doing because his back was in the way.
"It looks small. Would it fit?"
Ikuto ask, making me eye widen. What the hell is he thinking? Amu was then about to scream when we heard a small sound and look over to see that Ikuto was trying to put his key into her lock…
"Why are you red? Little kid."
Ikuto ask, getting me to notice that she was blushing a lot.
"I'm not, idiot! Perverted loser!"
Amu shouted out, pushing Ikuto away from her, getting Ikuto to smirk when he didn't fall down.
"See you, perverted kid. Let's go, Tira."
Ikuto said, making me stare at him in shock. I then slowly nod my head and started following by his side until Amu spoke up again.
"…You're leaving? Both of you? You're not playing anymore?"
"Nope."
He answers, getting Amu to start following us.
"You're not going to play at the bigger intersections? More people can hear you there."
"I'm not playing for other people to listen. Besides I'd only let Tira listen in because I didn't feel like being alone."
Ikuto answers, having me to frown.
"Oh… But those people are aspiring to become professionals, right? They have dreams… Don't you, Ikuto?"
She asks, getting him to stop walking, making me and our Characters do the same as well.
"…You're such a child."
"Age doesn't matter when it comes to dreams! So why are you playing then? Why do you play an instrument?"
Amu asks, as I notice Ikuto smile warmly and looks over to her.
"Because I'm a child, too."
That smile… It made me… Melt, just looking at it.
"Then… Just play once more. Here."
"No way."
"Why not? Please!"
"…"
"…If you sing, I'll play."
"Really? Then how about my school song?"
"I don't know it. I don't think Tira know it either."
"I'll teach you. It's like this."
Amu said and in no time flat, Amu told us the lyrics and the two of us started to sing together, while Amu sat down and I stood and soon Ikuto join in with his violin. When we thought nothing could ruin this moment, it did. All because of the sounds of people screaming.
"What was that?"
I ask, as Amu stood up from her spot and Ikuto stops playing.
"Let's go check it out!"
Amu answers and we started running with mine, Ikuto, and Ikuto Character, behind us after putting his violin inside the case and soon made it to see someone holding an X Egg with the crowds of people fainted and their Eggs were turn into X Eggs!
"Once again, no Embryo…"
We heard the man said and turn around to make us gasps to see none other then Yuu Nikaidou!
"Nikaidou!"
"Him?"
We shouted out while Amu glares at him.
"You're the guy from Easter! You put the X on Yuki and Maika's Eggs…"
Amu said as the man had a dark and yet sick smile.
"You two were going to reform all the Xs, right? Hinamori. Yuarona…"
He said and with a wave of his hand, the X Eggs attack us, pushing us back.
"Hahaha! You're both powerless! I can use the power of the X Eggs and do this!"
He shouted like as if he was a god as we all fell down onto the ground.
"What are you doing to do? You can't Character Change or Character Transform! You're Guardian Eggs…"
He stops for a moment, opening his suit case to show…
"Are Mine!"
Amu's Guardian Eggs?
A/N: I love music; sorry that was random, lol. So how will Tira help Amu in this, you ask? Stay tune to Friday, bye!
