Chapter 17: Baby Sitting Isn't That Bad.

"Ta-da! Presenting… For the first time, Yaya's house! Come in, come in!"

After Yaya's big greeting of us entering her house, we all went in one by one and Yaya lock the door from the inside with a huge smile. I'm guessing your wondering why I and the others are here. Thing is Yaya wanted us, more like beg us to death, of having the Guardian meeting at her house.

"Nice place, Yaya."

I commented, having the others to agree but Kairi.

"Thank you!"

"We're not here to play. We're here to hold an emergency Guardian meeting."

Kairi had to ruin the moment… Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you, I still didn't say sorry to him or Rima. But I don't know if I want to say sorry to her…

"I know, Mr. Class President, sir."

Was Yaya's reply so Kairi raise an eyebrow.

"Class President?"

I heard him repeat in question while Tadase shows Yaya a bag with food in it.

"My grandmother gave me these for us to eat. They're loquats."

"Oh, okay."

"Where's your family?"

"Um, he just cried a lot and finally went to sleep."

….What?

"Come on, I'll show you!"

Yaya answers our questioning looks and started walking up stairs with us following her and soon went to a bedroom that looked the kind for-

"Wow… A Baby!"

A baby…

"How cute!"

"It's a newborn."

"What's it name?"

"Tsubasa."

"Is it male? Or female?"

I and Amu gave Rima a look. Is she… Stupid?

"Male."

That isn't helping Yaya…

"He's not an animal, you know…"

Amu whisper and I sigh in disappointment.

"He can't talk and he cries a lot, so he's just like an animal."

Yaya must've heard her… Great.

"I would never be able to handle him on my own."

Yaya said and we started thinking about why and soon frown.

"Handle him-oh! So you insisted on meeting at your house today because-!"

"I wanted you all to take care of Tsubasa!"

"So that's why she begged us about going to her place…"

I thought to myself with a deep frown. The others weren't happy with this at all.

"Yaya!"

"Yaya is still a kid. I can't take care of one."

"Shh. The baby!"

Tadase spoke up, having us hear the baby starting to cry and we panic, looking over but soon the baby stop and went back to sleeping. That was a close one! And once we made sure Tsubasa wasn't going to wake up anytime soon, we left the Characters in the room and went back down stairs to start our meeting in the dinning room.

"Anyway, let's begin. This is our emergency Guardian meeting… But we have to speak in soft voices."

Kairi whispers, taking out some papers from his school bag as I took a sip of ice tea.

"Or else, the baby will wake up."

"This is wired."

Amu commented, whispering back. Tadase then spoke up, in a whisper with a serious look on his face.

"You know… Lately there have been just too many X Eggs."

"Yeah. There was one at the tournament the other day…"

Amu agreed, while peeling her fruit, only to have it be taking away without knowing by Rima, who's now eating it. And when she meant by tournament, she's means that Seiyo did the Moon Class vs. Star Class games… Which my school already did on the same day Seiyo had it on.

"I found one at my first X Egg hunt."

Rima added onto what Amu said as Amu agrees with her and was about to eat her fruit until she found out that Rima has it and snaps out loud at her.

"Hey! Why do you keep taking the ones I've peeled?"

"I don't want my nails to get dirty."

"Then don't eat them!"

"Shh! Shh!"

"Amu, shut it!"

I snap while Tadase tries to get them to stop and soon we move on with whispers again.

"But Nikaidou quit Easter, right?"

Yaya started, eating as well.

"Who's making all of those X Eggs?"

She asks and I and Amu frown. I didn't know what's fully going on with Utau but last time we saw her, she was in control of the X Eggs…

"Well, that-!"

"You got it all wrong!"

El shouted out, making us jump in surprised. I forgot about El, but where did she come from?

"Utau is really a good girl! She's not collecting X Eggs because she wants to!"

El added, flying around us as the others started to think about who El is. And in a few minutes, we had to tell everyone what happen. Will mostly Amu.

"What! This is Utau Hoshina's Guardian Character!"

Everyone shouted, while Kairi took a close look at El, who hid behind Amu's shoulder.

"Leaving your owner and staying with someone else… Fascinating."

"Um, yeah. A lot happened."

"A lot?"

Kairi repeats while I look up stairs, wondering how our Characters were doing when all of a sudden we heard Tsubasa crying.

"Why is he crying!"

Yaya ask, as we ran up stairs to see the Tsubasa crying.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Maybe he's trying to express his general disapproval of the state of modern society."

"Why don't you give it some grub?"

Kairi said and Rima asks right after him, which made me angry and glare at the two.

"Why don't you get some grub and shut that hole in your face! Tsubasa is a human baby boy who needs lots of caring!"

Rima had a blank look on her face but in her eyes I notice for a second that Rima had a hint of hurt inside while Kairi frowns. The others frown too but didn't want to get involved with this so they act like nothing happen.

"I think he got a little anxious because his mom isn't here."

Amu started, looking over to Yaya now.

"Hey, Yaya, you should hold him."

"He'll stop crying if you just leave him alone."

That also made me mad and so I glare at Yaya.

"Yaya, it's your job to take care of your baby brother. We aren't going to do what your family wants you to do. It makes you selfish and mean!"

I shouted, making everyone stare at me in shock. I did have a point, ya know. Hey, don't go thinking I'm the bad guy; I'm just the kind who doesn't like it when people don't care of doing their job. Yaya stare at me with wide eyes until she looks down with a frown. After a few seconds of thinking, she walks over to Tsubasa and picks him up and held him and it was making her nervous of holding him while he was still crying.

"I-I can't do this! I'm sorry, Tira, but I just can't!"

Before I could say anything, Yaya puts him back into the bed but he still won't stop crying. Just then the others spoke up.

"He won't stop crying."

"Hmmm. Oh! I know!"

Amu said and took out her cell phone and plays a ringtone that sound like a music box. Tsubasa notice the music and stops crying, laughing at the music in joy, making us gasps in amazement.

"He stopped crying!"

"No way!"

" But why?"

Tadase ask and Amu smiles in return.

"I heard it's good to distract a baby. I'm glad I had the right ring tone on my phone."

She answers so I sigh in relief and look over to Yaya, who was now smiling.

"I see."

"I think I heard that somewhere, too."

Kairi started, looking over to Amu.

"Music boxes work well for babies who are sick or cry at night. That's amazing how you replicated that, White Joker."

Kairi commented, making Amu blush while I smile. Just then Tsubasa started laughing more, making us look over to him.

"He's laughing!"

"How cute."

"He's quite content now."

"His hands are so small."

"I smell milk."

"Milk?"

"I thought we were supposed to have a meeting?"

Yaya started but we didn't hear her.

"Hmm… How can such a tiny little thing can cry and laugh? Fascinating…"

"Why don't you hold it?"

It's not an it, Rima! Amu walks over to the baby's bed and slowly picks him up for Kairi, who was now starting to panic.

"Here you go, Kairi. Just don't drop him."

"No, it's okay… Huh? Huh!"

Amu was handing him the baby anyways.

"It's okay. You just have to support his neck like this. Just don't drop him."

Amu warns and Kairi was holding Tsubasa the way Amu told him too, and started to blush deeply. Making me stare at him for some odd reason… He's cute when he's blush… What the hell did I just say? Man, I better not be liking him too, now. Oh, I know now! The reason why he's cute right now is because he's blushing and holding Tsubasa! That's it!

"Like this?"

"Yes."

Just then the baby started to sob so Kairi panic even more and hands him to Tadase who was in shock by his action.

"King, I'm leaving it to you!"

"Huh! Me!"

Tadase gasps, now holding Tsubasa with fear.

"No way… What do I do?"

Poof… The King is back.

"You don't need tears if you're King! Young child laugh! Go as high as the heavens!"

This isn't right… And you know what? Tsubasa is laughing!

"He laughed!"

"The King is truly powerful…"

"Hey!"

Yaya snap, calling out to all of us as we look over to her in question. She then pushes a picture book into my face so I look at the book, while Yaya spoke up again.

"Forget about Tsubasa! Yaya was much cuter then Tsubasa as a baby! Look this is a photo album when I was a baby!"

Yaya said, showing me the book of her being a baby as Rima and Amu look over it with me and we thought the same thing. She looks like Pepe back then… Just then Yaya show us another picture book of her in the age of 3. And she was very cute in them. And she kind of looks likes her baby brother too. She then starts showing us many more picture books to the three of us while we left the boys with Tsubasa in his room.

"Your fourth grade album is shorter then the others."

Rima pointed out, looking at the one Yaya handed her.

"Oh, that's… Because of Tsubasa. Mom's tummy got big and then she was too busy."

Yaya said and I notice she was frowning, looking down.

"Babies are so lucky. They're just cute. They can't eat or go to the bathroom on their own. But they can still hog mom and dad…"

Yaya said and it made me frown deeply. So that's why Pepe was born…

"Sigh… I wanted to be an only child."

"It's not that great."

Rima commented, making Yaya look over to her.

"Really?"

Yaya ask and Rima nods her head back at her. Just then Kairi came running to us from Tsubasa's bed room into the dinning room.

"Twin Jokers! Twin Jokers!"

"What?"

"Tsubasa want's something."

Kairi answers so we follow him back into Tsubasa bed room. And in case you're wondering, Tadase put Tsubasa back into his bed after Tadase's King moment ended…

"Could it be his diapers?"

"No, it's not. I think-!"

"He's hungry."

I cut Amu off and they look over to me. I bet they're wondering how I knew that. Yaya then gasps in fear, remembering something.

"Oops, I forgot to give him milk!"

"Let's boil some water."

"There's hot water in the pot."

"No, Rima, it has to be boiled and then cooled. Did you disinfect the bottle, Yaya?"

"Huh! I can't do this!"

Yaya panic and I sigh and left the room, making the others wonder why.

"Tira, where are you doing?"

Yaya asks, having her and the others see me walking down the stairs.

"What do you think? I'm going to make sure the bottle is clean, wait for the hot water to start cooling down and come back with a warm bottle of baby milk."

I answer and soon came back with a warm but not so hot baby milk in a bottle and hand the bottle to Amu, who took it and started feeding the baby.

"Hinamori is used to taking care of babies."

"I'm impressed."

"Well both of my parents work and I had to watch my little sister a lot. But I do wonder how Tira knew what to do, though."

Amu said, getting everyone to look back over to me.

"Do you have a little sister or brother?"

"No…"

I answer looking away as Tadase felt bad for asking.

"Then how did you know what to do?"

"…I sometimes watch TV of babies, and I used to know someone who was a mother of a newborn so I baby sit sometimes."

Flash Back.

I was cleaning up a mess that the baby, Joshua, caused when I was feeding him a warm bottle of milk. I wasn't a big fan of baby sitting though but I needed the money for a few things since my family was having a hard time with money themselves before we started seeing the world.

"Why do babies always caused trouble for me?"
I ask myself as the baby was crying because the milk got on him. After cleaning up the mess, I went to give him a bath and when I finished cleaning him up and the phone started to ring so I was about to answer it, placing Joshua in his bed when all of a sudden I heard him speak for the first time.

"Si-sy…"

End Of Flash Back.

I wasn't even his big sister and he calls me sisy. From that moment on, I started to love taking care of babies. And will… I told the others about the story too.

"You two will make a good mom."

Tadase commented, making Amu and I blush as Kairi looks over to Yaya.

"Well, compared to her, Ace…"

"Ugh. It's fine. Usually, mom does it."

"It's not fine! He's your family!"

Kairi snaps as I stare at the two. I'm starting to think that maybe saying sorry to Kairi is a good idea after all.

"Yeah, yeah, Mr. Class President!"

"Class president?"

Kairi repeats as I and Rima notice what was going on with the baby.

"Oops, he's spitting up. Someone gets a towel!"

"I'll bring it."

Rima said as I stare at her in shock. Did she really say that without acting so stupid like a Barbie Doll? Rima left and come back with a fresh clean towel and hands Amu, who said thanks and wipe the spit up and hands him to Yaya, as the baby started to sleep.

"Babies are a pain."

"A little."

Amu agrees while Yaya stares at her baby brother.

"It's not fair, Tsubasa. When you cry, everyone around you takes care of everything. Yaya wants to be a baby again, too. Even if I'm told that a big sister who I am now… I don't know what to do."

Oh… That's kind of how I thought back then… Amu then smiles warmly and spoke up to her.

"Babies are so small and weak and they can't do anything. But… They make us happy, don't they? Everyone starts out as a baby. Mom, dad, everyone protect us so we can grow up strong. And that's why we have to take care of babies in return. Right, big sis?"

Amu asks Yaya, who started to think about what she said with a small frown. Just then her eyes went wide with a gasps, making us wonder what's wrong.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know if it's my imagination. But Tsubasa feels warmer then before."

"It's not just because he's a baby?"

"It's not like that."

"You're right! His forehead is hot!"

Amu said, feeling Tsubasa's head.

"I wonder why?"

"Maybe he got tired because there're so many people here."

Oh my god, Rima finally said 'he' instead of 'it'!

"You should call your parents."

"I can't get through. It goes straight to voice mail."

Yaya said, already trying the phone.

"What?"

"Maybe they have it turned off because they're at the memorial service?"

"How about a relative?"

"They're all at the same service. And the doctor we go to won't pick up!"

Yaya cried, calling the doctor but it was still ringing.

"That's because it's a Sunday…"

"Would he get better if we let him sleep?"

"No. Mom said that it's dangerous for babies to have a fever… Even a little one!"

Yaya answers as she started to panic after hanging up the phone. I then walk over to her and place a hand on her shoulder, getting her to look over to me.

"Calm down, Yaya. Right now, it's the time for the big sister to stand up and do something. This is your moment to realized it and help your baby brother. We believe in you."

I said and she soon calm down and started to think fast before nodding her head in agreeing and ran over to Tsubasa's closet to get a baby carrier while Kairi was thinking of calling the ambulance until they stop to see Yaya putting Tsubasa into the baby carrier.

"Yaya? Where are you taking him!"

"The doctors!"

"But I thought they were closed today."

"I'll go anyways! Come on, Tira!"

"Right!"

I said, following right after Yaya with the others behind us and we soon made it to the doctors, by me kicking the door hard without it being open, and not breaking it as well.

"Doctor!"

Yaya shouted, freaking out the doctor in his office by Yaya's shouting and me kicking. The doctor then run out, opening the door fast with a death glare.

"Who is it! The sign says I'm closed today!"

"Doctor… Tsubasa is… Pant, pant."

"Huh? You're Yuiki's daughter…"

Later…

"Hm…"

"Doctor, how's Tsubasa?"

"He was getting a little sick, that's all. I'm sure the medicine will kick in soon. No worries."

"Oh, that's good!"

Yaya said, smiling wide as we smile as well.

"Hee, hee… Yuiki's little baby… Has turned out to be a good big sister."

The doctor commented with a warm smile.

"I wouldn't be here if Tira didn't help me. To me, she's like a bigger sister to me and Tsubasa."

Yaya said, making me eye widen… Just like Joshua…

"And doctor… Sorry about the ship in a bottle."

"Ha, ha. The baby's more important. Anyways I was able to get ahold of your mother. So you can sit in the waiting room until she arrives."

He said and soon we started waiting, until Amu told us about the forth Egg of hers, that turn into an X Character.

"What! Your Egg turned into an X Character!"

"Um, yeah. Sorry I couldn't tell you until now…"

"I came to replace her!"

El spoke up but we didn't listen to that…

"And even worse, Utau Hoshina has it…"

"It's pretty dangerous."

Some of us commented as silence was brought back once again… Until Rima spoke up.

"How stupid. It's simple. You just need to get it back. It's your Egg, after all."

Rima said and we nod our heads in agreeing, while I smile at Rima. Maybe she isn't all the bad.

"She's right! It's simple!"

"Hm. Seems worth it. Let's make a plan."

"Aren't you all fed up with me? I'm the White Joker… But I got an X Egg."

Amu asks with worry until she notice us all smiling.

"Not at all."

"There's nothing you can do about it."

"We'll make a big recapturing plan!"

"Well, it's the Guardian's job to watch out for our peers."

"And besides, we're all friends here."

"It's okay. See?"

Tadase asks her and she smiles back at us, until Yaya's mom and dad came running into the building with fear on their faces.

"Doctor! I'm sorry it took us so long."

"How are our kids?"

"Mom! Dad!"

Yaya cheered, running over and hug her mother close.

"Oh dear, Yaya, what's wrong? Your friends are watching."

"Mommy!"

"Um, Yaya?"

"Tira! Amu! I saw the light!"

Yaya started, looking back at us with a huge smile.

"Watching Tsubasa today made me realize my baby act just isn't cutting it. I mean compared to a real baby, I'm nothing! So I'm going to become a bigger baby from now on!"

Yaya said as we didn't have one clue as to what to say about that… Yaya thought about what we said in a whole another way… Geez.

"Mommy, Yaya wants to go home."

Yaya said so I took this chance and look over to Rima while Yaya's father took Tsubasa in his arms.

"Rima…"

I started, getting her to look over to me in question.

"I'm sorry for being rude to you."

I said and at first Rima didn't say anything until she made a small smile in return.

"I forgive you."

Was her only reply and left…? Making me watch her leave while Yaya and her family started leaving as well.

"Yaya… You're still a baby after all."

Amu commented, having the others laugh as Kairi smiles warmly, until his Character whispers something while I was walking over to the two. Kairi then frowns for some unknown reason and I stop in front of him, getting him to stop frowning and look over in question.

"Kairi, I-!"

"No, need to say sorry. I forgive you, too."

"Oh… Will can I at least start over with you?"

"Start over?"

"Yeah…"

"Hm. Okay. Hello, I'm-!"

"No need to do the greetings though."

"Alright."

"Will… I best be going. Bye guys!"

I said and left as Kairi frowns again, watching me leave as well.

"I know, Musashi…"

A/N: Again sorry for not posting last Friday. Hope you enjoy the chapter and I almost forget to add that I'm done typing the story out so I'll be posting the edited chapters that I didn't edited very well before posting on here to replace them soon, bye!
