Chapter 23: Star Light.
Amulet Diamond… Amu and Diamond look so… Bright. Amu's outfit looks like a singer's outfit. She wore a light yellow dress with long sleeves and the dress went below her butt with gold under it. The collar is also gold with a diamond under it, cut out and showing her skin a little. Behind her on the top part of the dress is two light cape like wings with gold on the bottom. Her boots are long light yellow disco kind with gold high heels. And her hair is in two side pink tails, with a gold diamond hair pin, and a head set and microphone on her right ear.
"How bright."
I heard Utau whisper, staring at Amulet Diamond with wide eyes. She then tries to get up but couldn't for some reason.
"I can't… Get up."
Utau whisper again as her two Characters heard this and spoke up.
"Character Transforming with someone else's Guardian Character is tiring. Utau's been Character Transforming with Diamond… And has no more power… Left to fight."
El said and I watch Utau starting to cry.
"Why? I've been working hard to be the best. I didn't want to lose to anyone. But… Why? Diamond… Ll… And El. Why is… Everyone leaving me?"
Utau ask, starting to sob as Sanjo growls under her breath.
"Utau! What's wrong? The helicopter is leaving-!"
"Found you!"
Came an unknown voice and we all look over to see… A little girl?
"Ami!"
Amu shouted in surprised as I made a face. This must be her little sister…
"There's Utau! Wow… The real thing!"
Ami said, having this… dreamily look in her eyes. Ami then ran right over to Utau and wrap her small arms around Utau's arm.
"Yay! Utau!"
"Amiiiiii!"
Amu shouted, worrying that Utau would hurt her. Amu ran right over to her little sister and graphs her away from Utau.
"Hey, Ami! What are you doing here?"
"Oh, big sister!"
"How did you find us?"
"Um, a boy with long hair brought me here!"
"Long hair? Sheesh, you have such bad timing!"
Amu said and sighs, looking over to Utau, who was watching the two.
"Sorry that my sister ruined things. But she's a big fan of yours."
"I love you Utau!"
"She's always imitating you in front of the TV."
"When I grow up, I'm going to become Utau!"
"Hey, wait!"
Amu calls out to Ami, who got out of her big sister's hold and ran back to Utau.
"Utau! Sing a song for me! I'll sing, too! Watch me!"
Ami said, taking out a toy microphone and started singing.
"Don't capture me. A lost butterfly…"
Utau started to remember the times when she was about the same age as Ami and started to remember the sparkles she had in her eyes and look down.
"My eyes… Used to look like yours. I was so excited… Watching TV with sparking eyes…"
Utau whispers as Ami put her toy microphone back into her small school bag.
"Utau! Utau, sing with me!"
Utau look at her for a moment before closing her eyes, taking a deep breath and started to sing.
"Dreams… The Buds… Bloom…"
"Utau…"
"This song… There are no lights or band performances here… But this is her best show."
Tadase said as the others nod their heads in agreeing. I smile at the view. Utau… I may not know you all that well, but you've went back to your old self. The self that had the true sparkles in your eyes. Just then El and Ll spoke up to us, while Utau was still singing.
"She wanted people to be happy listening to her songs. I was born from those feelings."
Said El.
"Forget about weapons! No one holds Utau's singing back."
Said Ll, and she and El went flying back to Utau, who was done singing and was smiling warmly at her Characters. Sanjo on the other hand wasn't smiling at all.
"Utau! Utau! Fine then! I'll go on my own."
Sanjo snaps and went on the helicopter and it started going to the air, making us notice this and look over fast.
"Shoot! The helicopter left!"
"Sanjo!"
"Oh no! If she leaves…"
Kairi didn't get to finished when he saw his older sister poking her head out the window.
"It's too late! As long as I have this CD… And these X Eggs- huh!"
Sanjo cuts herself off, seeing the X Eggs hatching and starting to attack her and the pilot and they scream.
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on in there!"
"Look! X Characters!"
Yaya said, pointing to the X Characters that were jumping off of the helicopter and landing on top of the tower.
"Maybe they all hatched because of the key and lock?"
"Big sis!"
Kairi call out, noticing something about the helicopter.
"It's going to crash!"
"I need to help them!"
Utau said, now looking over to El.
"El, can you help me?"
El looks at her in shock but then smile warmly.
"Yes!"
"Unlock my heart! Character Transformation! Seraphic Charm!"
Utau calls out and she looks like a beautiful angel. Her dress is light pink and it kind of look like a ballerina dress with long white sleeves with dark pink ribbons tied around the arms. She had white stockings that were long with dark pink ribbons tied around the legs and dark pink ballerina slippers with it. In her long blonde pink tails are angel wings and on her back are huge human size white angel wings.
"Wow… Utau looks… Beautiful… I wish I could have such beauty as her."
I thought to myself as Amu and the others were amaze as well.
"We have no time! Let's work together!"
Utau said and Amu nods her head at her and the two look over to me.
"Wanna help?"
Utau ask and I smirk, nodding my head at her. She smiles at me and the two flew up there while I ran over to the edge of the tower, since I'm still Heart Of Bravely, I have no worries with this, as the others watch me in wonder, I jump off of the building and use Sky Jump and jump up into the air with Amu and Utau and use Sky Jump again to stay into the air.
"Angel Cradle!"
Utau calls out and started to sing, making the X Characters go back to their X Eggs, feeling sleepy.
"I didn't think El had such amazing powers."
Amu commented as we started to hear El's voice in our minds.
"This isn't my power. This is a song that was within Utau. She can sing kind songs, too."
"El…"
Utau whispers, smiling as I made my next move.
"Time to get these X Eggs back to normal! Fighting Sprit!"
I call out and my right boxing glove started to glow in red lighting and did a battle cry and attack, making a huge blast of red lighting hit the X Eggs and in a flash of light, the X Eggs went back to normal Guardian Eggs.
"Awesome work, Tira!"
"Thanks!"
"Nooooo! Help!"
We heard Sanjo scream in the helicopter, who also noticed that the pilot was out cold from the X Eggs attack. Just then Sanjo was push out of the helicopter by its force of it coming down and Utau was the first to take action.
"Sanjo!"
"Go Utau! I'll take care of the helicopter!"
Amu said, summoning a gold microphone, while Utau just save Sanjo in time before she hit the top of the building as Amu started to have stars all around her and she called out…
"Starlight… Navigation!"
A powerful light of stars came from the golden microphone and stop the helicopter from falling in the building.
"Wow! The light surrounded the helicopter!"
"How pretty."
"It's a shower of stars!"
"My turn!"
Tadase said and took his King's staff and put it into the air.
"Holy Crown!"
The attack turn into a huge Crown that catch the helicopter and places it down onto the top of the building safely.
"Utau…"
Sanjo didn't know what to say while Utau place her down.
"I'm glad you're safe."
Utau said, smiling but the older woman frowns.
"Why did you save me? I thought you hated me."
"But we've been working together all this time. You can't leave me now."
That made the older woman started to have tears of joy and hug Utau close to her.
"Waaaah, Utau! You're too nice!"
"She's actually really weak."
Kairi whisper to us so I made a face.
"Utau."
Ikuto spoke up, getting us and Utau to look over to him in question.
"Ikuto…"
Utau whispers, seeing her older brother smile at her.
"You can sing it now, right? A song for yourself and not for me?"
Utau nods her head at him, smiling warmly.
"Yes."
The Next Day…
"Here we are! This is our new beginning!"
Sanjo said, looking at her's and Utau's new music company, thanks to Sanjo, who bought the place herself.
"Are you sure you're okay? Leaving Easter and starting a new production company?"
Utau ask, getting Sanjo to wink at her, smiling.
"Once I defied Easter, no other company would have me. But as long as we have your songs and my skills, it'll be okay!"
She answers and… Will went on.
"And I'll become a famous executive! We're shooting for the top!"
"Jeez, I come to help and I found out I'm helping an odd lady."
I said, walking up to them with a smirk as my three Characters were giggling at my little joke. Sanjo roll her eyes at me before glaring.
"Are you going to help or are you going to call me names?"
"I came to help; besides I have a question for you anyways."
I said, seeing them make a look in question.
"You hiring?"
I ask, hoping it would work. Sanjo stare at me before smirking. Is that a yes?
"If you can keep up with the work, partner."
Sanjo said, making me smile wide and jump up in joy.
"Yes! I got a job!"
"Don't get all excited. If you don't help me now with the boxes you can kiss the job goodbye."
Sanjo warn and now I was the one to roll my eyes but started picking up a box anyways.
"Hey, doesn't this place even have elevators!"
Nikaidou asks, having a hard time carrying two boxes. Yeah, he and Kairi are here as well.
"It's an old fashioned building. The sound of footsteps on the stairs brings back nostalgic feelings."
Kairi answers, adding the nostalgic feelings part to it.
"You called me over to help you move?"
"Of course. I don't have extra money to pay for movers. I used all my money to start this company.
"So? I have no obligation to help you."
"Yeah, but why not? I know you're bored on weekends anyways."
"Hey…"
Geez theses two are like an old marry couple…
"Hello! I came to help!"
Came Amu's voice and we look over to her and smile.
"Everyone else is coming later. Here, I brought drinks."
Amu said, handing Kairi the bag of drinks while I smile and wave at Amu, who smile and wave back.
"Thanks White Joker."
"Hey. I don't need your help."
Utau started, turning her back on Amu, who sticks her tongue out at her in return. Will… That came out of no where.
"Don't get me wrong! I came to help Kairi and Tira!"
Amu said as El growls under her breath and snaps.
"Amu, Utau is just being stubborn. She's really happy you're here!"
"El!"
"I see. Then why don't you at least thank me?"
"Huh? Stop dreaming. What El said isn't true."
"You're so stubborn!"
"Not as stubborn as you are."
They both pouted as I sigh. See what great friends they're turning out to be?
"Just so you know… I don't own you anything. I'm not giving you Ikuto even if you're nice to me. Same goes to you Tira! You may be working here, but even I won't let you have him!"
"What is this? A three girl love war now!"
"I'm not helping you for that! And I don't need him anyway!"
I and Amu snaps before she looks over to me.
"And as for you, Tira, I'm happy for you."
Amu said, smiling again, getting me to smile back at her until she looks back over to Utau.
"By the way, where is he?"
"I haven't talk to him since that night. He hasn't been home either."
Utau answers, while we were now entering the building with boxes in our arms.
"Could he be…? At your place?"
"What! Of course not!"
…The truth is… Ikuto was sleeping at my place again… Taking half of my single bed again too... I didn't say anything. The two look over to me in question and I sigh.
"Why would he stay at my place? My landlord hates it when some guy enters my apartment room and besides I don't have any family 24/7."
I answer, half lying and they stare at me in surprised. They didn't know about that… Will Amu know something about that; she heard it on the night that I was control by the Wishing CD. I didn't go into detail about me living along with my Characters and they didn't ask. Soon we made it to the top and place the last boxes down while Utau went back outside to make sure that was all as Kairi walks over to us.
"Twin Jokers."
He started, getting us to look over to him in question.
"What is it, Kairi?"
"… This isn't the only move. Actually, after this… I'm moving too."
Later At The Train Station…
"You're returning to your old school!"
"Yes."
"Why! You've only been here for a little while!"
"Mr. Class President, yon can't do this!"
"I only came to help my sister. I was supposed to return by the third quarter. My parents are waiting. And my classmates need me, too. I'm the president of my class."
"I knew it!"
Yaya said, gasping.
"It's not fair. We need you, too."
"That's right. The Guardians were working well because of you.
Kairi smiles warmly at this.
"With the bonds you have, you'll work fine. The King can guide all of you well. And if not, I'm sure the oldest Joker here can take over."
Kairi said, winking at me as I smirk and walk over to him for a hug and he did the same with me.
"Be careful man. Don't know what's out there."
I said, ending the hug and wink back at him and he smiles at me. Tadase then spoke up with a frown on his face.
"Sanjo…"
"King."
Kairi started, looking over to him.
"I'm going first."
"Huh?"
"White Joker. I love you… Amu Hinamori."
I was eye widen at this.
"Now and forever. It will never change. I love you."
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!"
The girls shouted as Amu hid behind Rima, blushing ten times red as a tomato, while I started laughing, noticing the shock look on Tadase face. Kairi smiles still, not blushing.
"But I'm not good enough for you yet. I need to work harder to find the correct path. So… I will return when I become a better man. I promise! So I'm not going to lose to you."
Kairi said, bowing at Tadase, who wasn't sure what to say.
"Amu, you're panicking too much!"
"But this is the first time a guy told me that!"
"You should say something memorable."
"But…"
The train started turning on its engines and people were now entering the train.
"Oh. The trains leaving."
"Guess it's time to go, huh?"
I ask Kairi, who nods his head at me and waves goodbye, going on the train when Amu calls out to him.
"Kairi! Thank you! And I really hope… We see each other again!"
Amu said and Kairi smile warmly before getting on the train and soon it left. And I soon made it home.
"That was funny."
I said, talking about what happen at the train station.
"Yeah, it was!"
Kiki said, having Rika to giggle and Luluu to roll her eyes. I then notice the piles of Easter mail and made a smirk. I then look for a number to Easter and started dialing the number and soon someone pick up.
"Hello, Easter. How may I help you?"
"Yes, I'm Tira Yuarona and I like you to tell whoever's the boss that's there that I'm never going to work for you guys so stop sending me the mail or I'll call the cops on your ass!"
Before she could reply, I hang up on the woman and turn around to see my Characters holding in their laughs and I smirk wider.
"That'll tell them to leave me alone."
I said and they started laughing. Sitting on top of the apartment building I live in, Ikuto and Yoru were looking at the night sky.
"Everyone had a happy ending. Except us."
Yoru started, while Ikuto was listening without a word spoken.
"And so I'm wondering Ikuto… What now?"
He asks but Ikuto didn't answer.
A/N: By the way, the reason why for cutting chapter 22 off like that is because I thought it would be too long so I made chapter 23 the part 2 of chapter 22's big battle and ending. I'll post the next chapter soon so have no fear!
