"Ohayou! Gomenesai for being late!" Nikaidou cheerfully said."The staff meeting ran late!"
"Ugh," Sanjo scoffed."Quickly take your seat before its' over! You're calm with the exception of school, don't act like that!"
"Haha, it's a habit," Nikaidou explained.
"Why a school sensei, even though you hate kids?" Sanjou asked, sneering at him.
"Well, it's my strategy for efficient recovery of the troubled children's eggs," Nikaidou smirked.
"The embryo is a special egg. It's overflowing with dreams and wishes of children, the egg is most likely hidden," Sanjou retorted."So our Utau will be very useful."
"Is that so?" Nikaidou questioned."The one who will find the embryo, will be me."
"No, I will!"
"Stop it!" the mysterious man shouted."You hot heads, hurry up and get results for our lords!"
"Leave it to me, director," Sanjou said.
"I'll definetly fine the embryo for our lord," Nikaidou chuckled.

"We somehow managed to finish sorting by category," Tadase said.
"This is always a handful," Nadeshiko sighed.
"I'm tired," Kukai complained, slumping in his chair.
"Guardians sure do a lot of desk work, don't they Hinata-chan," Amu asked.
"Hai," Hinata replied.
"Sorry to make you accompany us," Tadase apologized.
"Even though you guys are the White Joker and Joker," Kukai added.
"It was no big deal," Amu said.
"Because we were bored out of our minds," Hinata added.
Amu elbowed her in the rib, making her yelp. She glared at the smirking Amu.
"What's wrong with telling the truth?" she asked herself.
"Everything," Nagihiko whispered, next to her.
She blushed in embarassment, when she realized Nagihiko heard her.
"Oh, my. The black tea you made is delicious," Nadeshiko (who we all know is Nagihiko) complimented.
"Candies," Yaya said darkly."I want to eat candies!"
"Gomenesai, I didn't make any today," Nadeshiko apologized, sweatdropping.
"Keep it together, Yaya-chan!" Amu comforted.
"Then, let's get some ice cream!" Yaya suggested."There is a great ice cream shop, near my place!"
"Gomenesai, I have plans to study after this," Nadeshiko apologized, again.
"I have to make an appearance at the soccer club,"Kukai informed.
"I have plans too," Tadase said, though Hinata could tell he was lying.
"Ja ne!" they exclaimed, leaving the Ace and two Jokers alone.
Amu laughed nervously, before dashing out the Royal Garden, leaving Hinata and Yaya. Hinata turned towards Yaya and smiled.
"What type of ice cream would you like?" Hinata I asked.
"Yaya wants vanilla, Hina-chi!" Yaya exclaimed.
_
_
Hinata watched, amazed as she saw all the ballerinas started to stretch. She remembered when her parents forced her to take dance lessons, similar to ballet. Hinata giggled when remembered she couldn't even do a full stretch at first.
"Hina-chi, watch me, watch me!" Yaya exclaimed.
Hinata grinned when Yaya did a full stretch, and leaned all the way down.
"You are very talented, Yaya-chan," Hinata praised.
"Arigatou, Hina-chi!"
"Yaya-chan, weren't we supposed to get some ice cream on our way home?" Hinata asked, tilting her head.
"Gomen," Yaya apologized."A performance is coming up, so I can't miss pratice! Just wait a bit!"
"Hai," Hinata giggled.
"Damn, some of these chicks are hot!" Taki commented.
"I really don't want to be here," Taro muttered, twitching in aggravation.
"Fuck no," Kaito cursed."You'd rather be hanging out with Miki, wouldn't you?"
Taro said nothing but blinked, with his emotionless face as usual. The ballet sensei suddenly enetered the room. Her skin was wrinkly, and she looked very old.
"How are my wonderful fairies today~?" she enthusiasticly, asked.
'The sensei's over the top,' Hinata thought.
She watched as the sensei twirled over to Yaya.
"How is the lesson going?" she asked, singing.
"I'm doing my best!" Yaya childishly exclaimed.
She spotted Hinata and tip-toed over to her, fastly. She watched as the sensei eyed her body. She was kinda sad, since Amu forced her to wear a skirt..again.
"Stand up!" the sensei demanded.
Hinata stood up, just as the sensei said. Another thing her clan drilled into Hinata before they died, proper manners. Hinata was not allowed to disobey or disrespect adults at all. If she did, there would be a cruel and harsh punishment.
"You there, you have long legs and arms," the sensei complimented."You may have the gift of ballet, try dancing for a moment!"
"Eh?"
"Sounds good, Hina-chi!" Yaya exclaimed."Just try it!"
Hinata sighed and nodded. She slowly lifted her legs up, to waist-level, and made herself twirl. She could feel herself smile, when she did it perfectly. Just like when her clan was alive, and she would always dance in front of them. She lifted her arms above her, and felt her body become controlled by her memories. She remembered when she would always twirl her body, leap from one side to another, add some flips and cartwheels to make ballet look much more fun. And she was performing all of these, just like when her clan was alive. She stopped and ended it with, landing in a full split. She stood up and bowed, when everyone started to clap.
"Sugoi!" one of the girls exclaimed.
"She's so much better than Mai-tei!"
"And she looks so much nicer!"
"Wonderful~!" the sensei praised."You have a beautiful talent! Have you ever taken ballet before?"
"Hai, I have," Hinata answered.
"What is your name my dear?!"
"Hyuuga Hinata."
"Hyuuga-chan, would you like to join the ballet dance class?!"
"Arigatou, but iie," Hinata politely rejected."I have guardian duties, and then I have to take care of my kawaii Imouto."
'So cool!' everyone and the sensei thought.
"Flower fairy number two-san, can you move?" a young girl asked, more like demanded."The prima needs to pratice."
"Ah, gomen Mai-tei," Yaya apologized, moving to the side.
Mai strided forward and asked the others to move. Hinata could've sworn, that Mai glared at her, while passing.
"Listen all my faries, we're going to get started!" the sensei exclaimed."First off, we'll start with scene one's, flower fairy movement."
"Hina-chi, be sure to watch me!" Yaya exclaimed.
"Un," Hinata agreed."Hmm, Yaya's pretty good...but she's not rai-"
"-sin her legs at all," Mai said blankly.
Hinata turned towards Mai, and offered the girl a smile. Mai blinked, before glaring at her. Mai then entered the recital, dancing gracefully.
"What a bitch," Taki and Kaito hissed.
"Agreed," Taro said.
Hinata gasped and rushed over when Mai fell. She kneeled down immediatly.
"Mai-san, daijobu?" Hinata asked, concerned.
"This is nothing," Mai replied, wincing in pain.
Hinata sighed and picked her up bridal style.
"Sensei, show me wear the locker rooms are," Hinata said."Mai-san probably sprained her ankle."
"Hai!"
'Wah, she's like an Ouji!' every girl thought, blushing.
_
_
"This is a bad sprain," Hinata said, analyzing her injury."At this rate, you won't be able to appear in this week's performance."
"I can do it!" Mai disagreed.
Kaito did a chara change to Hinata secretly. Hinata raised and eyebrow at her, smirking.
"Fine, you can do it-"
"But Hyuuga-chan!" the sensei interrupted.
"-but you have to stand on both of your legs, and walk around," Hinata finished."If you can do that, then you're fine."
Mai stood up and gasped in pain, when leaned on her right foot. Hinata caught her, and placed her onto the bench carefully.
"See, you can't do it," Hinata said haughtly, smirking at the glaring girl.
"I guess, for this event, we will have to use a stand-in," the sensei sighed."May I ask you to be the Prima's subsitute, Yuiki Yaya-san?"
"M-me?" Yaya asked, surprised.
"Let's keep our pace," the sensei said."Maika-san, wait here, until your Okaa-san arrives."
"Hai," Mai softly said.
Hinata watched as the sensei and Yaya left the room, to continue their recital. Hinata patted Mai's head, until Mai smacked her head away. Mai glared at her, dislike showing in her eyes. Hinata smirked at the girl. She was still in chara change from Kaito.
"What are you doing?" she hissed.
"Comforting you," Hinata blankly replied."You look sad, so I'm trying to cheer you up."
"Well it's not working," she sneered.
"Stop being a bitch," Hinata said.
Mai's eyes widened and she stared in shock at Hinata.
"Wha-"
"I said, "Stop being a bitch". Nobody likes, because you act like one. But they do respect your passion for ballet, and how well you can dance," Hinata said."You want to be prima, right? I can gurantee this, if you stop being a total bitch, and start treating everyone better, you will get better at ballet."
Hinata saw Mai's eyes start to become teary.
"The only way you'll learn, is to hear the truth," Hinata informed."Besides, it's not the end of the world, just because you can't do ballet for one week. Think about it Mai-san, ja ne."
Mai sat there, alone.
_
_
"Yaya-chan is the prima?!" Kukai asked, shocked."I thought you ended up as a tree, or even a rock."
"I'm doing because we have no choice," Yaya pouted."And there aren't any rocks!"
"I was honestly surprised too," Hinata giggled.
"Surely, ballet isn't only about giving an impressive performance," Amu said.
"Don't start too, Amu-chi!" Yaya complained.
"But ballet is the best!" Ran exclaimed.
"I can do it better!" Pepe bragged, challenging Suu.
"Oh my," Temari said."If it involves dancing, I'll never lose."
"It's not quite like that," Daichi sighed.
"Hmph, I can do something this menial!" Kiseki said, and started to do some wierd kind of dance.
All of the charas stopped and stared at the dancing Kiseki.
"How gay," all of Hinata's charas snickered.
Miki sat by herself, drawing, as usual.
"It was a shame Mai-san was injured, just before the performance," Nadeshiko commented.
"Yeah," Hinata sighed.
'Man, I acted like such a bitch yesterday, when I did a chara change with Kaito. What I said to her was pretty cruel, but it was the truth. She needed to see someone else's point of view, instead of hers most of the time,' Hinata thought.
"No need to worry at all. "My dream is to be a world famous ballerina. Recitals are just child's play." That's what she's always saying," Yaya mocked.
"What an uptight chara," Kukai commented.
"I wonder..."
_
_
Mai stumbled out of the hospital, carrying a crutch. She let tears cascade down her cheeks.
"I wanted to be the prima," she cried to herself."I always praticed my hardest. Everything...it was all pointless."
Nikaidou walked past her with an evil smirk.
'Found you,' he thought.'The egg inside you, reveals everything.'
_
_
Hinata stared at the planetarium, that Amu told her about. Hinata sighed and pushed the door open, walking in. She gasped in amazement, when she saw all of those stars and the sky changing colors.
"How unusual, to have customers," a masculine voice chuckled.
Hinata averted her eyes and stared at the person, who so greatly resembled Tadase, except he looked like the older version. He ushered her to sit next to him.
"Are you the manager for this planetarium?" Hinata hesitently asked.
"Hai, but it's just a part time job," he answered."It's mostly maintenace, but sometimes, I do private showing."
'He reminds me of Hotori-san,' Hinata thought.
"This is a mysterious place," he continued."Even if it's a place everyone forgot, lost children come to visit. I wonder if I'm one too..The stories ends with the lost children looking at the stars."
"Are you a writer?" Hinata questioned.
"It's not published," he answered."I'm just a beginner, egg writer. To someday be a writer, is my dream."
"Even though you're an adult, you still have a dream?"
"Of course."
'Dreams,' she thought, remembering when Ikuto smashed the X egg.
"What is it that you've lost?"
"...An adult told me, only a small amount of people, will ever realize their dreams," Hinata hesistently answered."Was he joking? After all, why must they have to be perfect person? Dreams? I wonder if the "Would-be-self" and trying hard, have no meaning."
He glanced over to the depressed Hinata.
"I'll tell you a writer's secret," he said quietly."Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty from the beggining, weren't fulfilled. In the beginning of the story, the main character is lacking. "She and the Ouji lived happily ever after", goes on the last page, right? From the beginning, the hime has nothing, so that's not where the story starts. The little girl who says "This isn't enough", becomes the story's main character. "
'The story main character...'
_
_
Hinata grimaced as she was forced to wear a white tut with some black laces decorating it. She sighed as they decided to dress her up as a doll, just like Amu does to her. Hinata saw the depressed Mai and strided over to her.
"I thought I already told you, it's not the end of the world, just because you can't perform."
"I don't care about the other performances," Mai quietly said."My Okaa-san got hurt, and had to retire from ballet. It was all trvial, in an instant. You get all built up, only to lose it all. It all disappears that easily. There's no use, trying hard."
'Those eyes! They remind me of Hatoba-san's, when her X chara was born!' she thought.
She gasped in shock as a X chara broke through the window.
"Hina-chi, that can't be-"
"It's Mai-san's X chara!" Hinata exclaimed.
"Un Deux Trois!!" the X chara exclaimed.
"Mai-san!" Hinata and Yaya screamed.
"Leave it to me!" Yaya said." Chara change: Pretty~, cutie~, love baby! Gaint rattle strike! "
Hinata sweatdropped as the X chara kicked the rattle back easily, and it landed on Yaya.
"Fuck, she's crying!" Kaito growled.
"Because she's a baby!" Taki explained.
"Shut up, and pay attention to the X chara!" Taro hissed.
_
_
"Nya, Ikuto, this is the place," Yoru said."There's indication of a X chara!"
Ikuto said nothing but stared at Hinata and the X chara.
_
_
"Hinata-sama," Kaito said.
"Chara Nari: Dark Akuma!"
From afar, Ikuto's eyes widened in surprise and astonishment. Hinata looked at herself, and sweatdropped. (Go to my profile page and click on the link that says Kaito.)
'The lock, how come she has it?!' he thought.
'Okaa-san, you're quitting ballet? Even though you were so pretty? In one instant, everything is broken and over. It looks like I'm going to be just like Okaa-san.'
"Hey, don't be such a bitch! So what if you had an accident?! Don't say that the time your mother spent was useless, or a waste of time! Remember what I said, Mai-san?!" Hinata asked."You have plenty of other performances, you don't need to act as if the world is ending, just because you can't perform this time! You don't see Yaya-chan giving up, just because she fell!"
Hinata grinned as the X chara stood paralyzed, from her words. She gripped her staff and smashed it into the X chara, watching as it became purified. The White Joker and Joker are both different. The White Joker can only purify eggs/charas, if she smashes it. Whilst the Joker has to make sure she purifies it correctly. And you don't really have to do those flashy sayings, it's just to make it seem better. Hinata smiled as the purified chara, danced over to her.
"Mergi Beaucoup," she sang."I'll learn from being made to dance in red shoes! The next time I'm born, I'll be with toe shoes! Bonne nuit, Hinata-chan, until the day we meet again!"
Hinata nodded as the chara went back into her egg. Hinata averted her eyes to the window, and blinked. She saw Ikuto, staring at her with a shocked expression. She glared at him and turned away, undoing the chara change with Kaito.
"Hinata-sama, what do we do about Mai-san and Yaya-san?" Taro asked.
Hinata sweatdropped at the unconcious girl, and the crying baby.
_
_
Hinata twitched in aggravation.
"Onegai Hina-chi! Nobody else can subsitute for Flower Fairy number two, and sensei really likes you!" Yaya pleaded."And you're very good and talented! And I'm sure you already memorized the part for the flower fairies!"
It was true, she did. Hinata had photographic memory, achieved through hard work, because she wasn't born with it.
"Onega-"
"Fine!" Hinata snapped."I'll do it, but you owe me!"
"Arigatou Hina-chi!" Yaya exclaimed.
Yaya dragged Hinata into the locker room, and to change their clothes.
_
_
"Wah, I never knew Hinata-chan could dance," Amu gasped.
"Me neither," Nadeshiko agreed, staring at Hinata.
Hinata smiled and closed her eyes, as she started to twirl her body. Every step she made, was perfect. Kukai felt himself blushing, when the bottom of her tutu lifted, and he could see her tights.
'I feel like a pervert,' he thought.
"My, don't you think that blue-haired girl, is talented?" one of the old ladies whispered.
"Hai, and she's very beautiful," the old lady's friend replied."Whoever she marries, must treat her like a hime."
"I know what you mean. She looks so fragile, it seems like with one touch, she can break down."
'How true is that?' Kukai thought, grinning.
"I wonder what her name is, and if she'll be interested in my grand-son."
"Funny, I wanted to introduce her to my grand-son also."
'Damn old ladies. If they do, I'm going to beat the crap out of their grand-sons,' Kukai thought, grinding his teeth.
Tadase laughed at Kukai's jealous expression. Of course, he knew that his best friend, had a large crush on the Hyuuga.
_
_
"Good job Yuiki-san," Mai praised, smiling."You missed seven steps, and fell twice but, it was the greatest stage. I won't lose to you next time."
"Ehhh, I see you're finally taking my suggestion," Hinata said, smirking.
Yes, sadly, Hinata's chara change with Kaito's personality, still didn't wear off. Mai glared at Hinata.
"I will surpass you Hyuuga," Mai hissed.
"Hmm, we'll see about that, Mai-chan," Hinata teased.
Mai blushed and turned away, muttering a few curses.
_
_
"Why does she have the humpty lock?" Ikuto wondered.
He held the dumpty key in his hands tightly. He snapped his eyes close and began to day-dream of her.
_
_
"Saeki Nobuko's guardian spirit divination for today!" Nobuko-sensei announced on t.v."The guardian spirits are whispering, today's lucky for you!"
"Nani?" Amu asked "boredly".
"Nobuko-sensei always startles me," Hinata sighed.
"Pick the egg, with the color you like!" Nobuko-sensei said.
"Pink! Pink-chan!" Ami exclaimed.
"Divination is so dumb," Amu said.
'Red, I pick red,' was what Amu was actually thinking.
Hinata giggled quietly at Amu's behavior. Hinata watch Amu's gaping face as they announced red was the worst luck. No doubt, judging from Amu's reaction, Amu picked red.
'Baka,' Hinata silently snickered.
_
_
"Oh that Ami-chan," Amu sighed."No doubt will our parents find out, about our guardian charas."
"Oh don't worry about that!" Nadeshiko giggled."Only those with guardian charas, can see them. I have Temari out at my house all the time, and nobody ever notices her."
"Ah, Nadeshiko-chan, you change fast!" Amu exclaimed.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I wonder if small children can see them, before their heart's eggs come out?" Nadeshiko wondered.
Hinata knew she resembled a tomato right now. She really felt uncomfortable with a boy in the locker room. Especially if that boy is your best friend. She was about to slide her gym shirt on, until one of the girls grabbed her hand.
"Sugoi Hyuuga-chan!" the girl exclaimed.
Everyone turned their attention to Hinata and the fan-girl.
"You're already wearing a bra, just like Saaya-chan!"
All the girls suddenly sighed in awe, wanting to start wearing a bra too. Hinata's blush deepened, if it was actually possible, when the girl squeezed them.
"Sugoi! It's so huge!"
Hinata swatted her hands away and slid on her gym shirt. She nervously laughed and gave them a crooked smile. Normally, she wouldn't care. But hello! Nagihiko is Nadeshiko, and Nagihiko is a boy! She did not want to be seen half naked, in front of the opposite sex, until she was married.
_

Hinata did a side-flipped and caught the ball with her left hand.
"Pass it to me, Hinata-chan!" Amu exclaimed.
Hinata nodded and passed the ball to Amu, and she caught it, throwing it at a fifth grader swiftly.
"Kyaah! They're both so cool!"
"You two have perfect form," Nadeshiko complimented.
"Haha, dodge ball is kinda my strong point," Amu said.
"I took martial arts when I was young, so it's very easy to catch,dodge, and throw," Hinata softly said.
"You know, you'd be better if you chara change," Kaito said.
"Would you shut up, we might get caught," Taro hissed.
"Impossible, nobody can see us, unless they have their own guardian chara," Taki pointed out.
Hinata watched as Nikaidou take Amu's guardian eggs away from her. Nikaidou then strolled over to Hinata.
"Hyuuga-san, you can't have those in the gym," Nikaidou informed.
He managed to steal Kaito's and Taro's eggs away from her, much to her dismay.
"Please hand over your last egg," Nikaidou said.
Hinata felt herself, do a slight chara change with Taki. She smiled and stuffed Taki's egg, between her chest.
"Gomenesai Nikaidou-sensei," Hinata said, in a sugary tone."If you want the last egg, you're going to have to get it yourself."
She winked her eyes at him a couple of times, flashing him a flirtatious smile. Nikadou blushed bright red, putting a hand over his face. Who knew an elementary kid, could so seductive and erotic. Hinata let out a giggle as he gave up, and went back to the classroom. When he was gone, her chara change became undone immediatly. She was glad the only people who witnissed this, was Nadeshiko and Amu. Both of them were gaping at her in shock.
"Taki," Hinata called out.
"Hai, Hinata-sama?"
"Please tell me I also didn't wish for a flirty personality."
"You didn't wish for a flirty personality," Taki told her.
"Are you serious?"
"Nope, you just told me to tell you, so I did!" he replied, grinning.
'Damn, and I still gotta get Kaito and Taro back.'
Hinata twitched when Amu stared at Tadase, dazed. She did a cartwheel, and caught a ball aimed at her, just in time. She stared at Tadase, and suddenly grinned, throwing it at him. She frowned when he caught it.
"He really does look like him," Amu said.
"Who?" Nadeshiko asked, curious.
"The school planetarium manager," Amu answered."Somehow, Tadase-kun looks a lot like him."
"Huh? If you mean that old building, it's disabled and no one's there. It's a really old building, so they're going to tear it down soon. The projector's so old, that it's broken, and it won't move. There's probably no manager there."
"The-then the person I met was a gh-!"
"Here comes the ball~!"
Nadeshiko gasped as the ball slammed into her stomach.
"Nadeshiko-chan, daijobu?" Hinata asked, worried.
"You've got some nerve, punk!" Nadeshiko growled, aiming balls at the fifth graders.
_
_
"Nani?!" Amu screamed."You lost them!"
"That's right," Nikaidou said."I was certain I put them on my desk. I'll pay you-"
"No way!" Amu shrieked.
"You know, it's strange," Nikaidou said."It's almost as if they grew eggs and walked away. I wonder where you can buy-"
"It's fine! Ja ne, Nikaidou-sensei!" Amu exclaimed, running out of the room.
Hinata followed Amu out of the room, walking though.
"Be careful on your way back," Nikaidou said, smirking.
_
_
"Kaito, Taro, where are you?!" Hinata asked, searching through the place.
"Hinata-sama," Taki yawned."I'm gonna go home, okay?"
Hinata stared at her chara and nodded. She started to run everywhere and search for her two charas.
"Nya~, what are you doing?"
Hinata looked up at the tree, still panting, and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Yoru.
"Yoru, do you know where my two charas, Taro and Kaito, are?!" Hinata asked.
"Do I know, or don't know, nya~?"
Hinata glared at the tiny blue chara neko.
"It might effective to go to my troops, to discover something, nya~," Yoru answered, smirking."But you have to come to the meeting place, nya~."
"Whatever it takes!"
_
_
"Where are we?" Ran asked.
"Did we escape?" Suu asked.
"Fuck!" Kaito exclaimed, trying to break out of his egg.
"I see you guys are finally awake," Taro sighed.
"What do we do?" Miki asked."We're all trapped, the only one who is missing is Taki-kun."
"Damn that bastard!" Kaito growled.
"Now now, calm down Kaito-kun," Ran said.
"Calm down?! Calm down?! We've been fucking kidnapped, and you want me to clam down?!"
Ran flinched and whimpered.
"She's only trying to help," Suu said softly.
CLICK
"Hello Hinamori Amu's and Hyuuga Hinata's eggs," Nikaidou said."Have you woken up?"
"Ah, it's Amu-chan's sensei!"
"What's with the tape?!" Miki demanded.
"We can't get out you damn bastard!" Kaito growled.
"It's my personal guardian egg sealing tape," Nikaidou mused."You guys can't come out from there anymore.
"What are you going to do with us?!" Ran asked.
"My hobby is cooking," Nikaidou explained, grinning."You can use your imagination."
"That's not your true reason, and you know it," Taro hissed.
"Smart angel," Nikaidou mocked."Oh, it's already starting. On the road life's mecca, we're going to..."
_
_
"It's a bit farther, nya~," Yoru informed.
"Ok, but Yoru, why are we walking on top of the fence?" Hinata asked, trying to balance herself.
"Just trust me, nya~. Now jump on the roof!"
Hinata frowned, she had no problem with that, but she leaped onto the ground instead. She didn't want to get injured just in case, cause her family would probably be worried. She was amazed to see people on stages. Singing, dancing, or playing an instrument. Lights were sparkled everywhere, and everyone looked as if they were enjoying themselves. Her ears twitched when she caught a melody, that didn't fit into the cheerness atmosphere at all. She closed her eyes and followed her sense of hearing. She stopped in place and opened her eyes, surprised to see Ikuto, playing the violin.
'The song...it's so painful,' Hinata thought.
Ikuto snapped his eyes opened and stopped playing immediatly, his eyes focused on Hinata.
"What are you doing here?" Ikuto asked.
"No-nothing," Hinata timidly replied.
She flinched when she remembered he smashed the X egg. But even if he did do that, how could he play such a beautiful, yet painful, music? She noticed a glint come from his violin case, and notcied it was a key. A key that looked as if, it matched her humpty lock.
"That key," Hinata murmured softly.
Ikuto looked at her, and held up the key she mentioned.
"This is the "Dumpty Key"," he said."That "Humpty Lock" of yours, make a pair with my key."
She noticed he was close to her, that she could feel him breathing on her neck. But she didn't back away, because she knew he only wanted to see if his Dumpty Key fitted her Humpty Lock. She noticed how his eyelashes were long, and instantly felt the need to smack herself. Why the hell did she just think that right now? Was there something wrong with her?
'She smells like lavender,' Ikuto thought, smiling.'My favorite.'
"The keyhole is plugged," Ikuto mentioned.
"But how?" Hinata asked.
"I don't know," Ikuto answered."But see you later."
"Eh, you're leaving?" she questioned."Will you finish that piece from before?"
"It's already over," he replied.
"You won't play on the main street? Even though more people could hear you."
"I didn't come here, to make them listen.....Those people have ambitions to go pro, don't they? Because they have a dream...."
"What about you, Tsukiyomi?"
"You really are a kid," Ikuto sighed.
"Even if you have a dream, your age doesn't mean anything," Hinata said softly."Then why do you play? Why do you play the violin?
Ikuto turned to face her, and flashed her a smirk.
"Because I'm a kid," he said.
Hinata giggled and smiled happily, forgetting the incident of when Ikuto smashed the X egg.
"So will you play?"
"Yadda."
"Please?"
"I'll play if you sing," Ikuto said.
"Oh, ok! I remember this song that my Okaa-sama would use to sing when I was young! She and my Otou-sama were from different clan, so they had trouble when they wanted to be together! It goes like this-"
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
Ikuto was amazed that she actually sang. But he was even more amazed and mesmerized by her voice. He eventually began to play the violin, just as he promised.
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
Hinata smiled and started to dance by herself, while singing at the same time. She forgot the feelings, of how much she felt so happy, when singing. It was like pouring out her heart to one song. It was an amazing feeling.
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I sa-"
"AHHHHH!!!!"
Hinata and Ikuto both stopped what they were doing, and immediatly ran towards the direction, where screams were coming. They were shocked to see unconcious bodies and X eggs floating around. She stared at the man standing above the X eggs.
"Hmph, it's not the embryo again," he said.
"Nikaidou-sensei!" Hinata exclaimed."No way, sensei is one of the Easter guys! You made Mai-san's and Yuki-san's heart, become X eggs?!"
She flew back when X eggs energy attacked her. Luckily, Ikuto caught her in mid-air.
"You're powerless Hyuuga Hinata!"Nikaidou cackled."I wonder if you can gather the power for the X eggs now! What'll you do?! You don't even have your last chara with you, and you can't do chara change without your other two charas!"
"Help us Hinata-sama!"
"Hinata-chan!"
"Help us Hinata-chan!"
"Kill this fucking asshole Hinata-sama!"
'Mines and Amu-chan's charas! They're inside the suitcase!' Hinata thought.
"What'll you do?! Hyuuga Hinata!" Nikaidou exclaimed.

Akuma: Sorry everybody, but I'm not gonna be updating as fast as I used to. Because I got suspended from school, my mom will only let me go on ten minutes a day. And that is to check my mail only. The only time I could actually go on all day, is for the weekeneds. So I hope you guys like this chapter. Anyway, review! Because it keeps me motivated! (Otherwise, you can forget about me, making another chapter!)
