Chapter 30: The After.

"Another morning of school…"

I yawn out, looking around my bed in case Ikuto was there but frown when he wasn't.

"Ikuto?"

"Ikuto isn't here."

I look over to Rika who was giving me a warm smile. Rika seems to get up in the morning before the rest of us do.

"Oh…"

I frown, looking down at my blanket.

"Did you forget what happen last night?"

"Huh?-Oh!"

I said, remembering about saving Ikuto and helping out Hikaru, the boss of Easter… I wonder how things are going to turn out for them now. I was then cut out of my thoughts when my phone started ringing. Meaning I got a text or phone call from someone. I walk over and open my phone up to see it was a text.

"This better not be a prank text."

I mutter under my breath and click to the text and read it:

"It's a great day to cut school, don't you think?

Ikuto."

"…"

"…"
"What the hell!"

I scream out, getting Kiki and Luluu to wake up from their Egg's and look over in question. I then text him back with a glare at my cell phone.

"And miss a chance of getting good grades later on? I don't think so!

Tira."

I click send and close my phone with a frown. I then look over the clock and gasps.

"I'm late!"

I shouted out, hearing the guy screaming in his apartment below me, telling me to shut up but didn't listen and soon ran out to school and went right onto my school work. After school, I went to check to see if I got any text's from Ikuto and of course I did. But I've also got a text from Amu and went to her's first.

"Hey, Tira. Have you been getting texts from Ikuto by any chance today?

Amu."

I sigh at this and text her back:

"Yeah. He wanted me to cut school again.

Tira."

I click send and went to see what Ikuto said and I raise my eyebrow when I click the test.

"The hell?"

I ask, looking at a picture of a teddy bear inside a toy store with Yoru besides the bear. I sigh and reply back to him.

"What's with the teddy bear Ikuto?

Tira."

I send and then realize something… How did he get my cell phone number in the first place! I sigh and went right over to the Royal Guardians for today's meeting… Only to find out that Amu or even Tadase wasn't there, same with everyone's Characters but mine. Where did they go off too…?

"Yawn… Yesterday was so much work. We were out nonstop after school until night time sneaking into a TV station and battling at the signal tower. It was a long day."

Yaya whined. I smile at this while Nagihiko look over to Rima.

"Rima, good job."

"You're the one who worked hard. It was your Character Transformation."

Rima said back, looking like she didn't care. Nagihiko did a Character Transformation? I wonder if it was a new Character or Temari… Nagihiko frowns at her.

"Why are you so cold? I thought we hit if off yesterday."

"With Nadeshiko."

Oh no… Wait- how did Rima know about Nadeshiko was really Nagihiko!

"Huh? What happened with Nadeshiko?"

Yaya asks in surprised.

"Oh, it's nothing."

"Whaaat?"

Yaya still didn't understand… I guess she wasn't good with hints?

"You have a nice personality."

Nagihiko commented, getting Rima to smile at him.

"Look who's talking."

Rima said right back, while Yaya pouts with arms cross.

"Is this another lovely dovey mood coming on here? All these couples forming within the Guardians… It's too much."

Yaya whined as I sigh.

"Will… Um, look at the bright side."

I started, getting everyone to look over to me.

"At least our Characters aren't falling for anyone… Right?"

I ask and they only slowly nod their heads in agreeing. Yaya then notice something.

"Oh, where's Amu and Tadase?"

She didn't notice that they weren't even here the whole time!

"Oh well…"

Yaya sighed as Nagihiko smiles at me. I notice and give him a look in question.

"Yaya did you tell Tira yet?"

"Huh?"

"Wha- oh yeah!"

Yaya started, looking over to me with a huge smile.

"Tira, ever since I and Rima have found out about you living alone… Rima and I came up with an idea to make you happy!"

What is she getting at…?

"Yaya went to talk to her mother and father about this and they like the idea."

Rima added, taking a sip of her tea.

"Would you like to become a Yuiki?"

Yaya ask, seeing me stare at her in shock with my Characters. Is she for real!

"I mean… Like a big sister. And um, you could help me watch over my little brother too…"

Yaya said, blushing with embarrassment. Rima and Nagihiko watch in wonder. I look down at my lap in thought. I've been so alone when it comes to family love for years… After getting out of the hospital, I felt alone… At the orphanage, that I was being forced to join, the kids made fun of me for years. But it's stupid for them to be doing that because they lost their families too. When I went to Japan after getting enough money of my own savings, my first new family was Mr. Tory. The first real friend I had in a long time. But ever since Kiki, Rika, and Luluu and that lock came into my life, things became insane and I wasn't used to it. But now that I am and I think about my life now… I feel like my small family grew. I look up at Yaya with a warm smile.

"I would love to become your big sister."

I said, seeing Yaya smile with tears of joy and she hug me, making me almost fell of my seat but I still had my warm smile. While Yaya was telling me all the things she wants to do with me, I notice I've got another text from Amu and started to read it in mind.

"Oh, really? Thank god I'm not the only one getting them.

Amu."

I sigh and reply back to her.

"Will I'm just wondering how he knew my number in the first place. I didn't reply to his cell phone at all before. Will I'm going to let you go, seeya.

Tira."

I click send and look over to see Rima, Nagihiko, and Yaya getting ready to head home.

"You're going home already?"

I ask, getting them to look over.

"Yeah. The meeting wasn't much to begin with. We were waiting for you to come over to hear the good news."

Nagihiko answers while Yaya was texting her mother about what my answer. I just nod at this in understanding and started getting ready myself.

"I'll call you when we're ready for you to move in."

Yaya said and I smile at her.

"Alright, will gotta go. Bye!"

I said and started running off into the woods.

"Tira, where are we going?"

Kiki asks, while Rika was looking around. I didn't answer and soon was in front of the old abandoned stage building.

"We're going to see Tuskasa?"

Luluu asks and I nod my head at her and went inside to see Tuskasa sitting in the front rows of chairs with a cup of his own tea. I walk over to him and he notices me and smiles.

"Welcome. It's good to see you again Miss. Yuarona."

"It's Yuiki now, Tuskasa."

I said and he smiles wider. I then sat down next to him as he greeted my Characters before speaking to me again.

"So what is it that you wish to talk about now, Miss Yuiki?"

He asks, taking a sip of his tea again while I look at the empty stage.

"I want to know why I somehow made another lock, the one that looks like Amu's but doesn't have four clover leafs on it. And the only time I've ever had four leafs was when I became Heart Of Dreams."

I answer and he smile wider in return.

"I've been waiting for you to come over and ask me about that."

He started, having me to look over to him.

"I don't have a book about it but I think that you felt the need to help your friends so Amu's lock went in contact with your heart and open another copy of it's self. And as for having four leaf clovers in your Heart Of Dreams transformation, I believe you have another Egg inside your heart."

Tuskasa answers and I stare at him in surprised.

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it. Unless you have another question."

"No, I don't…"

I answer, standing up.

"Will thank you for your time, Tuskasa. I'll be heading home now."

I said and started leaving out of the building when I got another text and guess who it is. Yup you guess it, Ikuto. I open the text and read it.

"Meet me at the ice cream shop. The one where we ate at.

Ikuto."

I reply back to him with this.

"This better not take long.

Tira."

I then hung up the phone, took the bus and made it to the ice cream shop, where Ikuto was waiting. I wave at him, seeing him smile back at me.

"Hey!"

"Hey."
We greeted each other and soon Ikuto pay for our ice cream and sat down near by. We only ate in silence until Ikuto spoke up.

"I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I'm leaving."

"Oh okay- wait, what!"

I shouted, making the people around us look over in question. Ikuto frowns a little.

"I'm leaving."

He repeats."

"Why?"

"Because I'm going to look for my father."

I stare at him. So after all the good things that just happen, he wants to leave and look for his father… I sound selfish for thinking that but I don't want him to leave…

"I don't… Want you to leave, Ikuto."

Now Ikuto was the one staring at me.

"Tira, I need too. This is something I have to do."

"… I understand."

I said and he then smiles at me and finished up his ice cream.

"I'm leaving tomorrow at 2'o clock pm at the International Airport. If you want to come see me off then show up before 2."
"Ikuto I-!"

"I gotta go get ready. See ya."

Ikuto said and already started walking off, leaving me and my Character's behind.

The Next Day At The Air Port…

"Amu and Tira are late."

"Yeah…"

Utau and Tadase said, waiting for us as Ikuto already started heading for the line to be scan. Just then we ran over to Utau and Tadase.

"The place is so confusing with the different terminals! We got lost!"

"I told you to ask for help!"

I snap at Amu who was panting after our huge run to find Utau and Tadase.

"Amu! Tira!"

"You're late! Ikuto left already."

"What!"

"No way…"

"If you go now, maybe you can catch him at the security gate!"

Utau said and that's what we did. We ran as fast as we could to the area, calling out for him.

"Ikuto!"

"Ikuto! Where are you!"

We both shouted out and then got a reply back at a few shout outs for him.

"Amu! Tira!"

Ikuto shouted back and ran over to us when he found us and we took a few breathers. Amu then looks over to Ikuto with a smile.

"Ikuto, listen… I'll race you! I'm sure you'll find your father. And I'll find the person I want to be. So we'll see… Who gets there first!"

Amu said and Ikuto smiles at this.

"I wanted to tell you something too."

Ikuto started, getting me to make a look in question.

"I've already given up… Because… I like you."

I felt my world come down and died… I look down, trying not to cry. Why am I crying though?

"Huh-!"

I then heard gasps all around us and slowly look up to see Ikuto kissing Amu on the cheek! I watch as Amu starts to panic after his kiss and Ikuto looks over to me and winks. I blush at this, but glare back at him. Once Amu was done panicking she looks away, blushing.

"You know, you have to understand… I don't like you at all! There's no way! That's right! A guy that's unpredictable…"

Amu snaps, making Ikuto smirk.

"I see. Then I will challenge you. I'll make you like me back. So be prepared."

Ikuto warn and then looks over to me again.

"And if not prepared, you would end up like Tira."

Before I could say anything Ikuto graphs my face lightly and kisses me on the lips. He's messing with us! I could hear people around us and Amu freaking out as I felt my cheeks turn red and was about to kiss him back when he part his lips from mine and smirks wider.

"Besides if I can't win you Amu, I'll win Tira's heart instead since I like her as well."

That made me blush even more! He then starts walking off, while we watch him in surprised. I slowly place my hand on my lips and felt my world come back to life with a huge smile on my face. We soon watch as the air plane Ikuto took, flew off into the air.

"Sheesh. He caused trouble to no end."

Amu said, while I was still thinking about the kiss.

"Hey, Tira!"

"Huh?"

I said, looking over to her.

"We better get going."

Amu said and I nod my head in agreeing and follow her off to meet up with Utau and Tadase and the four of us soon left the air port.
