Chapter 35: Our Light.

"You went back into the Egg Cradle."

"Yeah..."

Amu said, thinking in thought while Diamond was giving her a questioning look.

"What's wrong?"

The Character asks, as the rest of us watch in wonder.

"Diamond… I wonder. Just like when Yoru went back… Maybe Ran, Miki, and Su… Are also gone."

Amu…

"Why do you think that?"

Diamond asks, seeing Amu look down with a frown.

"Right now, I'm happy that I saw Ikuto, even for a little bit. But… I thought that I shouldn't see him just yet. It's like everyone is moving forward… But I'm still just a kid. How am I going to be an adult?"

She asks, but we then notice something was wrong with Amu's speaking fragments and whatever it was doing, it made Diamond gasps in horror.

"Oh, no! The sparking fragments are losing their sparkle…"

Somewhere Else In Town…

"I need to talk to you about our marriage. Please come in an hour."

Sanjo was reading a text from Yuu, but notice something about the number address.

"Why is he text address different? Is he getting ready to break up?"

She asks herself, looking up at the sign that read: 'Sanjo Studios.' Sanjo sigh and started walking inside while Yuu was already inside and was waiting in the auditorium room. With a sigh, he then took out his cell phone and look back at the text he has gotten earlier today.

"This is the studio, Yukari's office uses… Why did she tell me to come here?"

He asks himself but no answer came as two young kids and their friends in hiding were watching the teacher from behind a few curtains with a wide smirk in their faces. Just then Sanjo enter the auditorium room, having Yuu to not hear her as she starts looking around the room.

"Oh, they're here."

"Shh."

Kairi said to Yaya, who was getting excited. Yaya then turn to everyone else who was hiding with them from behind.

"Okay everyone, shh!"

She whispers and the others try not to make a sound and stay even closer behind the curtains. Just then Sanjo remove one out of her way, having to not find anyone hiding there as the whole room was starting to block her view from the darkness inside.

"It's all dark. No one's here?"

Just then she heard a sound and it made her panic, running forward while Yuu heard this and starts running forward as well.

"There's our target! Then we're starting the operation, over."

Yaya whispers to the others behind them as Kairi was now starting to panic in worry.

"Is this really going to work?"

"Leave it to me-ack!"

Yaya scream, having to step onto a part of the curtain she and Kairi were hiding in and it slid, making her fell down. Sanjo and Yuu gasps loudly, when all of a sudden Nagihiko turn on the lights, showing what happen.

"Huh!"

"Yukari?"

"Yaya!"

"Operation failed…"

Rima whispers with a small frown. Yuu and Sanjo then started looking over to Nagihiko and Rima, who we're walking over to them from their hiding spot while the rest were already out and in front of the two adults.

"Huh? You kids… What are you doing here?"

"Well…"

Yaya started and told the two adults everything…

Sometime Later…

"A plan to make us up?"

Sanjo asks with a confused look, trying to understand this all while Yaya nods her head in reply.

"Yes! 'Operation scare them to bring them back closer!' It was supposed to work…"

Yaya answers while Rima rolls her eyes.

"I told you it was impossible."

"At least we tried!"

Sanjo and Yuu frown deeply at this.

"We're even making the kids worry."

"I guess we were both immature…"

Sanjo then look over to Yuu with a frown when she started to glare at him.

"But… That doesn't solve anything!"

Sanjo snaps as her little brother sighs in defeat. Yaya then smile again at Kairi.

"Don't worry! I thought this would happen so I prepared… Plan B! Go!"

Yaya calls out with a snap of her fingers and someone turn the lights, showing darkness once again and the same person ran over to another light switch and turns it on.

Showing a one spot light with Utau in it, singing. While she was singing, the others were listening with smiles.

"What a beautiful voice…"

"A vocalise… A song without words."

"But…"

Kairi wasn't sure what to say now but just went with it and smile at Yaya for her plan.

"It's filled with warm feelings…"

Sanjo whispers, staring at Utau while Yuu did the same.

"Phew, we made it in time."

"Huh? Soma!"

Nagihiko gasps, looking over to Kukai who was smiling.

"I got a text from Yaya, asking Utau to bring her here from the studio. I got on the bike and pedaled like crazy!"

Kukai said, having Nagihiko to look back over to Utau with a smile.

"In the end you're always going to be the big brother of the Guardians…"

"Ha, ha!"

Was all Kukai said as Utau's Characters El and Ll were smiling above Utau's head.

"La, la, la, it's such a wonderful voice."

"If they hear this… The bickering couple would stop being stubborn."

The two adults look at each other in thought but then Sanjo look away with a deep frown while Nikaidou was still looking at her, before frowning himself.

"Yukari…"

She didn't listen and frowns at Utau, now walking over to her.

"What is going on, Utau! How could you sneak out of rehearsal?"

Utau stops her singing and looks over to the older woman.

"They gave me a short break. I'll return shortly."

"That's not the point! This is an important time for-!"

"I'm fine."

Utau cuts her off with a serious look. Sanjo stops and stares at her.

"Right now, I'm not so overconfident as to think that I can do everything on my own. I know how to rely on others. You need to learn to do that too."

"Me?"

Sanjo asks, seeing the young teenager smile warmly at her.

"I'd be lost without you. But… I need you to find your happiness, too."

Utau told her, seeing the older woman frowning again. Just then Ll flew over to Nikaidou with a smile.

"Hey, Nikaidou! It's your cue!"

He looks over to the Character in question, while El catches up with Ll to help her out.

"Huh, me?"

"Yes! I'm sure you haven't proposed to her properly!"

"How did you know? But we've been together so long, so I thought-!"

"Idiot!"

Ll cuts him off and the two Characters lightly push Yuu's shoulder and he looks over to see Sanjo and then makes a serious look on his face but then blushes for his next move.

"Yukari!"

Sanjo gasps, looking over to him fast in surprised at his tone.

"You are the dearest thing to me in this world. I love you! Will you marry me?"

Sanjo was at a lost of words with a deep blush. She looks down little but was able to speak out the answer.

"Yes…"

Everybody then cheer with huge smiles when Kukai heard something behind them and look over to see some kind of portal and gasps, seeing Tadase without Kiseki, coming out and fell right onto the floor.

"Oww… Huh? What happened?"

"What! Tadase!"

Kukai calls out, getting everyone and Tadase himself, to look over.

"Huh? Everyone… Where is this?"

Tadase asks, having the others ran over to him in a hurry.

Back At the Cradle…

"Amu…"

Diamond and 'Tsukasa' whispers while I stay silent with my Characters in worry.

"I've been wishy- washy… Toward Tadase and Ikuto."

"Wishy- washy?"

"A while ago, Nagihiko told me the difference between liking someone and being in love with someone. When I first liked Tadase, it wasn't the real Tadase. I just liked how he was to everyone else. I liked his outside Character. But then after a while that was when Ikuto… Came into my heart."

I stare at Amu in surprised. Is she…?

"But I don't know if this is love. Maybe it's not the true Ikuto. I don't have confidence in my feelings."

Amu… Just then 'Tuskasa' place his hand lightly on Amu's head and pats it.

"Don't worry, Amu. No one thinks you're wishy-washy. Right now… You're moving forward for sure. There's no rush."

He said and he took Amu's hand with a smile.

"Moving forward?"

"Yeah."

'Tsukasa' answers, while Diamond notice something about the sparkling fragments.

"They're sparkling stronger again."

I heard Diamond whisper and I smile warmly, taking Amu's hand at the same time.

"You can become an adult… At your own pace."

But just then another meteor zone came and hit us hard as 'Tsukasa' put something in Amu's hand right before the storm end up pushing him away from us while our Characters held onto us for dear life.

"Ack! Another meteor storm!"

"Everyone hang onto each other!"

Amu and I call over the huge cries of the meteor storm when we notice 'Tsukasa' was being left behind.

"Amu! Tira!"

He calls out to us, as he starts getting further away.

"We'll meet again... In the future!"

We stare at him in surprised by his words and we made it out of the storm and watch 'Tsukasa' be taken away from it.

"We lost Tsukasa…"

"Amu, what's that?"

Diamond asks, looking at what was in Amu's hands now. Amu looks down at her hands and gasps.

"A bottle of star-shaped sand?"

I quickly look over to her hand and gasps as well, looking at the orange star shaped bottle. No way! How did he get his hands on this!

"This is the same thing Tadase gave me before. But it's a different color."

I then remember what Tadase said to Amu on the day of setting up the auditorium room.

"I have one more in a different color…"

I repeat in a whisper, having the others hear this and we started to question who this 'Tsukasa' really is.

Somewhere On The Other Side Of The Cradle…

"Phew."

"Tadase!"
Kiseki calls, flying over to 'Tsukasa'. The older man turns his head to the Character with a smile.

"Kiseki."

"I finally found you. Today were tossed around by the meteor zone."

'Tsukasa'- older Tadase, makes a sad smile.

"Yeah, but thanks to it, I saw you again. And to the two girls when they we're younger."

The older Tadase said and then smiles warmly again.

"Did the younger me go home safely?"

"Indeed. He went back before Amu and Tira did. I'll catch up with him now."

"Okay, good."

Tadase said and the two fell silent for a few seconds so Tadase looks back over to where he last saw us when Kiseki spoke up again.

"Hey, Tadase."

"Hm?"

Tadase looks back over to him, smiling.

"In the world where you're an adult, I wasn't there. That means I'm going to disappear, eventually, too."

"…"

Tadase didn't say anything so Kiseki spoke up again.

"The Heart's Egg is something a child has. When that child grows up, us Guardian Characters are done with our-!"

"That's not true."

The older Tadase cuts him off, making the Character stare at him in surprised.

"I'm going to return to my world now. There, Guardian Characters aren't around. But it doesn't mean you'll disappear. The Characters will always be in our hearts."

Tadase said, smiling warmly at him while Kiseki starts to smile back when he started to question him.

"What do you mean by 'The Character will always be in our hearts.'?"

Kiseki asks, seeing Tadase smile wider at the question.

"Right before you went back into my heart… You and her new Character change our lives forever."

"Her new Character?"

Kiseki repeats with a look in question. Tadase nods in return.

"Yes. So I would like to thank you before I heard back to my lovely wife, who's waiting for my return… And so is our soon to be born baby."

Kiseki stares at him with wide eyes.

"You're… Not talking about Amu being you're wife, are you?"

Back With Me And The Others…

We were walking onto the path of stars for a while, having me lead the others when Diamond spoke up.

"Hey, Amu."

"Yeah?"

"Do you remember what I told you before? The sparkles are within you. No matter how much darkness comes, your sparkles will never disappear. 'The light within you.' 'A small piece of that sparkles…'"

Diamond reminds and Amu stop and look at her in shock, having I and my Characters stop and look over to the two.

"Huh? Then… The sparkling fragment I was looking for…"

Diamond finished for her.

"You know from the start. The journey on the road of stars was a journey for us to return inside you. I am your last sparkling fragment."

Diamond said and I stare at her in surprised. Deep within everyone's heart… There is something everyone has… 'It's fuzzy…' It's ambiguous…'

"The sparkling fragments are in our…"

"Our hearts."

I and Amu said together. Diamond nods her head at us.

"That's right! The Heart's Egg doesn't disappear. Even if it breaks, even if it's scratched, or even if it's seems gone… It will be born again, many, many times."

Diamond said and started to turn into the last yellow glowing fragment for Amu to catch.

"Don't forget, we're always together. If you lost sight of us then…"

Diamond's voice stop for a moment, while Amu catches the last sparkling fragment.

"Unlock the door to your heart!"

Diamond shouted out and a golden door appears in a bright light with our locks glowing bright as well. Just then the two bigger locks appear that look just like ours when we notice the one of the bigger locks and the one around my neck grew a fourth clover and we gasps. The two bigger ones then went into each other and became an eighth clover leaf lock and the golden door grew brighter and opens itself to us. We then notice our all of our friends on the other side and smile at each other.

"This is it! You ready, Amu?"

I ask her, and she smirks at me.

"Yeah. Let's do it!"

She answers and took my hand and we started entering the door when I notice an Egg that had a crack on it, meaning whoever the Character was, was watching us and I stare at it in question.

"I'll see you soon, Tira."

I heard the Character say in my mind and I gasp, staring at it when we left the Cradle and land onto the floor behind our friends and the door close behind us fast and disappear before the others could see it. We land hard on the floor and in a matter of seconds heard gasps and the others.

"Amu! Tira!"

"Big sis!"

"Ow, my back…"

"Owww…"

We whined as our friends help us up from our fall and we look over to them.

"What's going on? After Tadase falls on us, Hinamori and Yuiki does too."

"Amu! Yuiki!"

"Tadase! We're glad you're okay."

Amu said and I nod my head in agreeing when Rima spoke up with glare.

"It's not okay! Where were you two the whole day?"

She asks as Kairi hid behind Nagihiko in a panic, fearing that Amu will notice him as Yaya held onto my arm with a smile while my Characters were giggling. Amu notices my Characters and gasps, looking around for her Characters.

"Oh! Where are my Guardian Characters?"

She asks and I found them, picking them up and showed Amu her Guardians Eggs. All four of them.

"I believe these are you're sparkling fragments, Amu."

I said and she smile wide, taking them in her hands and thank me. I then spoke up with a huge smile.

"All Children have an Egg in their Heart."

Everyone look over to me and started to form a smile of their own.

"Even Adults do, too. It's fuzzy and ambiguous… And soon we won't be able to see it, but it's there. Everyone has one. And that Egg is called…"

I took a deep breath before finishing up.

"The Embryo, our own sparkling fragments."
