Hinata and Hikaru both stood in front of each other. Hikaru was an exact replica of Hinata. And yes, he did (in fact) have long hair like Hinata. Except he had it in the Hyuuga style. (Remember Neji's hair-style? Yeah? Okay.) Hinata felt her eyes water up, but quickly blinked a couple of times, so it would go away. Hinata and Hikaru exhanged silent glances.
"We'll talk later," Hikaru silently said.
"Hai."
They were doing their silent language, something that only they could understand. Both of them stepped back into their places, and waited for the ceremony to end. Amu and the rest of the guardians, glanced back and forth between the two, confused. Even Tadase was confused, because he wasn't informed of having a Black Joker this year. And to make it more confusing, he was a Hyuuga. From what he read from Hinata's profile, she was adopted by Amu's family because her clan died. And that Hinata was an only child in the Hyuuga Clan. He sighed, he needed to speak to them about it later.
_
_
As everyone started to introduce themselves to each other, they eventually stopped onto Hikaru. Hikaru had his leg propped onto the table while leaning back on his chair. Hinata sighed and nudged him in the rib, making him fall back in surprise. He got up the chair and glared at Hinata playfully.
"I'm Hyuuga Hikaru, twin of Hinata, but I ran away since I was five. They probably erased my file so it would be like I never existed into the Hyuuga at all," he yawned."This is my chara Kyuubi."
His chara Kyuubi flew out from behind him. To say the least, Hinata was not surprised when it was a kitsune that had nine-tails. Hikaru always seemed to find wierd things interesting ever since they were young. Another result as to why he ran away, because the clan didn't support his "natural" hobbies. All of the charas flew around Kyuubi, admiring his nine-tails as he boasted how awesome he is. Except one chara, and that chara was Taki. Kyuubi and Taki were both kitsunes. And the amount of tails showed how strong they were. Taki had only one tail, and Kyuubi had nine. So that meant Kyuubi was stronger than Taki, which got them into a heated argument.
"Bastard," Taki said.
"Bitch," Kyuubi retorted.
"Cunt."
"Dick."
"At least I have a dick!"
"Are suggesting something?!"
"Yeah!"
Hinata and Hikaru turned around instantly and flicked their own charas in the fore-head, glaring at them.
"Behave!" they scolded.
'They're both so alike!' everyone thought, sweatdropping.
Hinata stood up, as did Hikaru.
"We're going to go Guardian Patrolling," Hinata began.
"After that, we're going home," Hikaru continued.
"Ja ne," both of them ended, running out the Royal Garden with their charas.
".......What just happened?" Amu asked.
"I have no single clue, Hinamori-san," Tadase answered.
_
_
"Where have you been living, ever since you ran away, Aniki?" Hinata asked, glaring at him while tapping her foot anxiously.
"I stole one-fourth of the Hyuuga's money, and lived in an apartment by myself, with a fake name so they wouldn't find me," Hikaru replied, yawning again.
"I can't believe Hinata-sama has a twin," Kaito whined.
"You should, after all, we are her guardian charas," Taro scoffed.
Kaito said nothing but glared at Taro in silence. He then glanced over to Kyuubi and Taki, who were glaring at each other.
"What fake name did you use?" Hinata demanded.
"Hiitachin Hikaru."
"Do you have a job?"
"Hai."
There was a minute of silence before Hinata sighed and hugged him. She let out a soft cry and buried her head into his chest. Hikaru smirked and let her do as she wanted to. He always knew that she missed him. But he also knew that she probably never talked about him before to anybody.
"Aniki you baka!" she wailed.
"Why am I a baka?" he curiously asked.
"Because you left me to that baka title!"
"You mean the Heir(ess) to the Hyuuga Clan title?"
Hinata nodded furiously and glared at him through her teary eyes. Hikaru chuckled, his Imouto was such a cry-baby. He wiped her tears away, grinning widely like an idiot.
"Gomen," he apologized.
Hinata's eyes softened and she nodded. She could never stay mad at her Aniki no matter what. They were twins, sharing the same blood. Hinata rested her head against his shoulder for a minute.
"I'm moving in with you tomorrow," she declared.
_
_
Hinata started packing her stuff after confronting her "family". Sure they were shocked, but they respected her decision. They knew that she was mature enough to handle things on her own. But they made her promise to come and visit them a lot, or else they would get lonely without her. Of course, she agreed. She would miss them a lot also. But hey, she needed to spend more time with Hikaru more often. It's been seven years since she's seen him. A knock came from her door, and she snapped out of her daze.
"Come in," she said loudly.
Amu then walked inside of her room, closing the door quietly. She looked at Hinata then towards her luggage sadly, and averted her gaze to the floor.
"Are you really going through with this?"
"Of course, you should know me by now, Amu."
"I see.....Can I talk to you about my problems first?"
"Hai, anything to make you feel better."
"Okay. So this is what......."
_
_
"You're telling me, that your fourth shugo egg has an X on it now? And that one of Hoshina's chara is sleeping in your room right now?" Hinata asked with disbelief.
Amu nodded sadly. Hinata sighed and pulled Amu into a comforting hug. Whenever one of her "siblings" are sad, she was also sad. One of a habit which Hinata wished to get rid of, cause it got annoying. But right now, she needed to help Amu no matter what.
_
_
"Mashiro-san, you can do a chara nari?" Tadase asked, surprised.
"Sugoi, Rima-tan! Why didn't you tell us?!" Yaya exclaimed.
"I wasn't asked," Rima quietly retorted.
The Hyuuga twins smirked at her snide remark.
"Yuiki-san and I can go as far as "Chara Change"," Tadase said.
"Me too," Kairi proclaimed, pushing his glasses up.
"In the guardians, you're the third after Hyuuga-san and Hinamori-san."
Amu and Hinata said nothing, until Amu felt a hand being placed on top of her head.
"So today's snack is karinto and madeline," Kukai said, letting out low whistle.
"Kukai! Why are you here?! Did you get thrown out of Junior High?!" Yaya asked excitedly.
"Baka, I was passing by so I came to visit," Kukai laughed."Did you forget Junior High's right in the back of Elementary?"
"Souma-kun!" Tadase exclaimed.
Amu and Tadase got up to go greet him. Hinata was too shocked to get up and greet him, so she stood there, staring at him in surprise.
"Who's that?" Rima and Hikaru asked, before looking at each other.
"According to my data, he's the former Jack:Souma Kukai-senpai," Kairi said.
Hinata watched as Kukai greeted Rima and Kairi and ruffling their hair, before he stopped at Hikaru. Kukai seemed happy when he saw Hikaru, before he scrunched his face up in confusion.
"You're not Hinata," he declared."So who are you, and why do you look like her?"
Everyone stared at him in shock with widened eyes. He could tell the difference between both of them! Even Amu couldn't tell the difference, unless she looked at their hairstyles. Hikaru grinned widely and pulled Hinata next to him. Kukai's eyes widened.
"No way," he muttered in disbelief."There's two Hinatas!"
"Iie, you got it all wrong Kukai," Hinata sighed."This is my twin Aniki."
"Yo, I'm Hyuuga Hikaru!" Hikaru exclaimed, still grinning like an idiot (or like an akuma)."Though I gotta say, I'm impressed. Most people always switched me and Hinata up. So, how could you tell the difference between us?"
"Your eyes," Kukai answered.
"Our eyes?" both of them questioned.
"Hinata's eyes are more lighter, and yours are a more darker color," Kukai explained sheepishly.
"Chotto! Does that mean you stare at my Imouto's eyes everyday?!" Hikaru demanded.
Kukai blushed and nodded slowly, but deciding to stay quiet. Hikaru opened his mouth to say something again, but Hinata gave him "The Look". You know, the look that parents always give their child when they do something wrong. Yeah, that's the look. Hikaru closed his mouth quickly.
"Kuk-"
Kukai grinned and lifted Hinata onto his shoulders.
"Gomene minna san, but I'm stealing Hinata for today!" he declared, before running out of the Royal Garden.
Everyone sweatdropped and coughed at dust of cloud Kukai left.
"I still don't get it!" Hikaru yelled, frustrated."How can he tell the difference between me and Imouto, when you guys can't?! And we barely even know each other!"
"Hikaru-kun, that's because Kukai-kun is in love with Hinata," Amu answered.
"N-nani?!"
"Souma-kun is in love with Hyuuga-san," Tadase said."I believe it was a small crush when he first saw her, then they developed a friendship when Hyuuga-san accidently ran into Souma-kun. He was Hyuuga-chan's first friend here."
Tadase knew this, because Kukai would always often tell him things. Also, because Tadase had secretly spied on them. (What a stalker Tadase is.)
"Oh, and don't forget the time when he confessed to her out of jealousy!" Amu added excitedly."Hinata had landed on Tsukiyomi-kun when he tried to protect her from falling, and they accidently kissed! Then Kukai-kun (french-)kissed her and confessed to her!"
"That was when Neko-chan and Kukai-kun declared war over each other, for Hinata-chi's feelings!" Yaya ended dramaticly.
Yaya and Amu both squealed about how romantic that was. Rima listened, slightly interested over her friend's (yes, she considered Hinata as her first friend) love problems. She was slightly jealous, that Kukai was Hinata's first friend here, and how close they were. Kairi sat in his seat quietly while writing some "new data" in his notebook. Hikaru was twitching slightly at all of these imformation they were giving him. He slammed his palms on the table abruptly and stormed out of the Royal Garden.
"I'm following them!" he exclaimed.
Everybody sat in silence.
"What just happened?" Rima asked.
"I don't know Mashiro-san, I don't know," Kairi answered.
_
_
Hinata stared at Kukai as he let her get back on the ground. She stood up, wobbling slightly because of the speed they were going at. Kukai caught her before she fell, and let her lean on his body.
"You okay Hinata?" he asked, worried.
Hinata nodded and smiled at him warmly, her eyes watering up. Kukai leaned in closely and stared at her curiously.
"Hinata, are you about to cry?"
Hinata said nothing but turned away from. She didn't want him to see her cry again. Hinata always felt weak and defenseless when others saw her cry. She never liked people seeing her crying. And everytime she cried, it seems as if Kukai is always there to comfort her.
"Kukai you baka," she said quietly, sniffing.
She brought up her hands to wipe the tears away. She didn't want to cry in front of him again. But then she felt the tears welling back up.
"Why don't we buy some ice cream?" Kukai suggested.
Hinata nodded slowly, agreeing with him. Hikaru glared at Kukai from far away, wishing to murder him right now for touching his dear Imouto.
_
_
Hinata and Kukai sat on the bench, eating the ice cream slowly. Hinata sighed and leaned onto Kukai's shoulder again, making him blush slightly.
"I missed you so much Kukai," she murmured softly.
He wrapped one of his arms around her comfortably.
"I missed you too, Hinata. You have no idea how boring school is without you," he chuckled.
"Believe me, I know," Hinata sighed.
She yelped in surprise when Kukai smudged some of his ice cream on her face.
"Kukai!"
"Hai?" he asked, blinking innocently.
Hinata laughed and playfully hit him. She wiped the ice cream off with her finger and licked it, making sure not waste any. Kukai inwardly groaned, thinking something naughty when licked the ice cream off her finger. He could feel his pants tightening a little bit as all type of naughty thoughts involving Hinata entered his mind. Kaito and Daichi had noticed Kukai was thinking erotic thoughts, and they both exchanged mischevious glances towards each other. Daichi knew because he's been Kukai's chara for almost his entire life, and Kaito knew because he was the flirtatious horny kitsune if you must know. Kaito did a small chara change with Hinata when she turned away from him. Hinata suddenly leaned in closer to Kukai and smacked both of their ice creams to the floor. She straddled his laps and pulled his tie so he could come closer to her. She smiled at him flirtatiously when he blushed, her tail swinging exitedly, and her ears twitcing.
'Chara change with Kaito,' Kukai thought, blushing harder as she leaned into him more.
Kukai was thankful that she still had not noticed the tent in his pants, even though she was straddling him.
"Kukai," she moaned, on purpose of course."Kiss me."
"N-nani?!"
She pouted at his gaping reaction and brought her mouth towards his ear, nibbling playfully. And smirking when she heard a groan emitting from his lips.
"Come on Kukai~. I want do more than this, so why don't you show me," Hinata purred.
"H-hinata!"
Hinata blinked owlishly as her kitsune tails and ears disappeared. She looked down at hers and Kukai's position and bright red in embarassment. Hinata looked him in the eyes, and she could see embarassment and...was that lust? She wanted to look away but she couldn't, it was like she was caught in a trap and couldn't escape.
"Gomenesai Kukai!" Hinata apologized."I-I d-didn't m-"
"Maa maa, it's okay," Kukai chuckled, though he was still thinking through Hinata's words she said when she was in chara change."Kaito did do a chara change with you, after all."
Hinata nodded, still embarassed and got off of him. He closed his eyes as her skirt slid up when she moved. Luckily, his painful erection (yep, there's a reason why I rated this fic M) went down after a while. Hinata and Kukai sat on the bench in silence, none of them saying a word.
"Great weather today isn't it?" Kukai suddenly spoke up.
'Oh my kami, that sounded so stupid. Maybe I shouldn't have talked at all,' Kukai thought to himself, metally slapping himself.
"Hai, it's a nice weather today," Hinata giggled, amused.
Kukai grinned, happy that she cheered up. Both of them gasped as the wind blew roughly and knocked them off the chair and to the ground. Hinata and Kukai groaned, standing up and brushing their skirt/pant.
"I found you, Hyuuga Hinata," a familliar voice declared.
Hinata and Kukai glanced over to see Utau with her chara Iru.
"Hoshina!" Hinata exclaimed in disbelief.'You do know Eru is at Amu-chan's house right now?"
"I have no use for that weak chara. Because I have," Utau held up an egg with a large X on it," a new egg."
'It's the egg Amu-chan desribed!'
"That's Amu-chan's egg!"
"Hinamori's?!"
"You're misunderstanding, she doesn't consider that girl as her owner. It couldn't hatch, that's why it left her! And chose me instead!" She declared, as multiple X eggs showed up."Well then Hinata, let's fight. You still haven't shown me your chara nari yet."
"Give it back," Hinata growled.
"I don't understand," Kukai said."But Daichi, can shugo charas be exchanged?"
"Dunno but, shugo charas change with the owner's change of heart. Having an X or breaking is for that reason. So if a shugo chara wishes for a different owner then...maybe..."
"You just need to win. If you win, I'll give you Amu's egg back. If I win," Utau pointed at her Humpty Lock," you have to give me that lock."
"N-nande?!"
"Because I want it," Utau proclaimed."That lock goes with Ikuto's key. And I'm most suitable for it."
Kukai shielded Hinata just as the X eggs attacked her.
"Hinata, wake up or you'll lose!"
"Hinata, I like competitions. Wininng and losing is what makes people grow and shine...Nightmare Lorelei!"
Hinata gritted her teeth and withstood her ground, refusing to back down.
"You don't want to die do you?! Then fight!"
"Ugh, but I don't want to fight you!"
"Silly," Utau sneered."To win or lose, don't fight, that's all adult's excuses. When in reality, everyone is living with ranks and competing. If you start talking about friendliness and space, you'll get shoved down."
"I have to agree with that," Kukai said, grinning."In sports, it's thanks to ranks that that there's excitement and and people try to improve their skills!"
"You understand?" Utau asked.
"Yeah! Hinata, leave the X eggs to me, while you two battle it out!"
Hinata nodded as Kukai flashed her a comforting smile, before it turned into a smirk.
"And if you don't win, I won't ever kiss you again," he added, before leaving the gaping Hinata.
Hinata and Utau stood there in silence.
'If I don't win, I can never get Amu-chan's egg back, and she'll never be happy! But I'll also lose the Humpty Lock! What should I do?!'
"You're a girl, so you fight back!"
Hinata and Utau stared in shock as Hinata's fourth egg cracked open, and a girl chara stepped out.
"Hey Hinata-chan! My name's Tenten, nice to meet you!"
"Tenten?"
"Yeah! So why don't we chara nari and kick that girl's ass and get back that shugo egg?!"
Hinata nodded in agreement.
"My own heart:Unlock! Chara Nari: Buki Touji!"
(You people should know by now to go on my profile and check out the link. Yeah, and you guys should know how Tenten looks like if you're an actual Naruto fan.) Hinata gripped the two blades in her arms quietly. Ignoring Kukai when he accidently did chara nari with Daichi for some reason. She stared in shock as Dia popped out of her egg and did a chara nari with Utau, even though Dia was actually Amu's chara.
"They all did a chara nari!" Kaito exclaimed.
"That's fucking impossible!" Taki cursed.
"What's going on?" Taro asked in disbelief.
Hinata flipped to the side to avoid Utau's Shining Luck attack.
"This is the dark jewel's power! What do you think of it?!"
"Tenten, what should I do?! I really don't want to injure her!"
"You have no choice Hinata-chan!"
Hinata groaned in defeat and connected the ends of the double blade, and changed it into a staff. She ran forward, dodging Utau's Shining Luck attack until she managed to get in front of Utau and knock her to the floor. Hinata held the staff up, ready to strike Utau. It wasn't until Hinata looked Utau in the face, to see fear, that she ended up poking Utau with the staff gently. She couldn't do it. She couldn't manage to hurt somebody, even if they were the enemy.
"I win," Hinata sighed, before falling to the floor as both Utau's and hers chara nari "batteries" ran out.
"HINATA!" Kukai and Hikaru (who finally came out from his hide out) exclaimed, rushing over to her.
Hikaru and Kukai both helped her stood up, as Utau stood up on her own.
"Arigatou, Aniki, Kukai," Hinata said."But Aniki, how did you know I was here?"
"Twins intuitition," Hikaru answered.
Hinata nodded, buying his lie immediatly. But if it was a twin's intuition, how come Hinata couldn't find Hikaru when he ran away? Hikaru was glad that Hinata was oblivious.
"Ikuto," Utau said, making all of them turned towards her, and Ikuto (who appeared out of nowhere)."Were you watching all this time?"
"Not really, I was just passing by," Ikuto responded.
He walked towards Hinata, and ignored the glares coming from both Kukai and Hikaru. He stared at Hikaru for a minute, before handing Hinata the white plastic bag he was holding.
"Here," he said," this a compensation. Utau got you angry didn't she?"
Hinata accepted the bag and denied that Utau got her angry, just worried. She opened the bag and was surprised to see multiple ice cream flavor, shocking the charas and three guardians. Well, two guardians and use-to-be-guardian.
'He definitely saw what happened earlier!' they thought.
"Is this your way of saying "gomen", again?" Hinata asked, teasing him.
Ikuto pouted looking away, which shocked Utau and Kukai. Not Hikaru, because he never met Ikuto before. They had never seen this side of Ikuto before, another reason to add of why Utau hates Hinata. And another reason to add of why Kukai should make Hinata keep away from Ikuto at all cost.
"Gomen," Ikuto apologized.
"Why is Ikuto apoloizing?!" Utau demanded.
"It's not a question of "Why". You apologize too," Ikuto said, irritated.
"Yadda."
"Whatever, just apologize."
"I don't wanna! I'm never wrong! What's with you siding with Hinata?!"
"Utau."
"BAKA!" Utau screamed, tackling him to the ground and pounding on his chest repeatedly."BAKA BAKA IKUTO NO BAKA!!"
"Itai. Utau, stop it right now," Ikuto demanded.
"What's with her sudden change?" Tenten asked.
"She's just like that," Taro explained.
"What's with this?! It's always Hinata this and Hinata that! Always always about Hinata!" Utau cried."Even though you know how I feel!"
"How you fe-"
Utau smashed her lips onto Ikuto's lips forcefully. Hinata innwardly flinched, wishing that she didn't see that for some unknown reason. Ikuto shoved Utau off of him.
"Stop it Utau, or I'll get mad! We're siblings!"
"Si-" Kukai began.
"-blings?" the Hyuuga twins ended.
"SIBLINGS?!" they exclaimed.
"Aniki?!" the Hyuuga twins asked.
"Imouto?!" Kukai questioned.
"That's right!" Utau said."My full name is Tsukiyomi Utau. I'm the blood related sister Ikuto. But just because of that, it doesn't mean that I will lose to anyone when it comes to my feelings for Ikuto! But why? Why only you, Hinata? Ikuto was never interested into any girls until you came along."
"Eh?"
Hinata glanced at Ikuto, who never took his eyes off of her, making her blush bright red. Kukai and Hikaru saw the exchange and glared at Ikuto. Hinata turned back to Utau, who was glaring at her.
"The bad insects that come close to Ikuto will all be chased away by me!"
"M-matte! I'm not into Ikuto that mu-ah!"
Ikuto wrapped his arms around Hinata and nibbled on her ears.
"That's so cruel Hinata, even though we've already kissed."
"You forced the kissed on me!"
"But you didn't reject the kiss," Ikuto retorted.
"Because I wa-"
Hikaru pulled Hinata away from Ikuto and glared at him.
"Who are you?" Hikaru demanded.
"I'll tell you my name, once you tell me yours," Ikuto said, smirking.
"Hyuuga Hikaru, I'm Imouto's long lost (pfft, yeah right) Aniki," Hikaru hissed.
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto, Hinata's soon-to-be-boyfriend."
"LIKE I'LL LET THAT HAPPEN!" Hikaru and Kukai screamed.
Hinata blushed from the attention and felt her legs give out, so she leaned onto Kukai or support since both Ikuto and Hikaru were in a heated arguement. Utau stood in front of them glaring at Hinata, again.
"I'LL NEVER LOSE TO YOU!!"
'Somehow, I have a feeling I'll die from all of this attention,' Hinata thought, sweatdropping.
_
_
Hikaru lifted the sleeping Hinata up and placed her into her room, which was right next to his. Both of them had started moving Hinata's stuff into his apartment and unpacking. It wasn't that much, but Hinata was exhausted from eariler and fell unconcious on the couch. Hikaru tucked Hinata in the covers gently. He removed a piece of hair from her face, smiling gently.
"I'll make sure you never get hurt, Hinata," Hikaru whispered softly.
"Ngh, I'm sure you won't Aniki," Hinata groaned.
He blinked in surprise, before smiling as she opened her eyes. She smiled at him and moved over slighlty.
"Aniki, won't you sleep with me tonight?"
"You sure?"
"For old time's sake," Hinata said.
Hikaru chuckled got underneath the covers beside her. Hinata cuddled into Hikaru, wanting body warmth, and Hikaru complied.
"Oyasumi, Aniki."
"Oyasumi, Imouto."
And both of them were finally united as twins, and would never be separated again.

Akuma: I'm thinking about putting a lemon in this fic. Do you think I should do it? Nah, probably not. But I just wanted to make this fic a little perverted cause it's rated M. Well, it is rated M for a reason. I hope you fans like this chapter, and I'm sorry for any mistake. Please review. Oh yeah, who do you think Hikaru should end up with? Utau or Rima?
