Hello, it's me again with the fourth chapter. I hope you enjoy this! Remember to review. Please give me new ideas!
A/N- Ruka will now about Shugo Charas, but he does not have one… yet.
~Hime Nadeshiko April 2,2012
Now, thanks to Hikari, I've got to keep up the Cool n' Spicy thing. Which means I'll be in Hikari's Chara Change for most of the time. "Oi, Amu, let sit." I said. We walked towards the only seats available, the two seats behind Natsume and Ruka, where I used to sit(She didn't really sot there, just go with the flow). Almost the entire class gasped as me and Amu sat down. "Umm… Diamond and Amu-sama, sitting there would make… umm… Natsume-sama…ummm…" one soon-to-be fanboy muttered. I looked over at Natsume. He looked pretty mad. I wonder why. "Get off." He growled at me. "Oh really? Give me a good reason why." I shot back. The class gasped yet again. I activated my Mind-Reading Alice and searched around. 'Diamond-sama's dead! No one stands up to Natsume-sama like that… he'll burn her! I hope he excuses her! Who am I kidding? He doesn't let anyone off the hook, except Ruka-sama, his girlfriend Hotaru-sama, and ummm… what was her name again? Oh yeah! Mikan-chan!' came a thought. As I looked back, I nearly burst out laughing. Ruka-pyon and Hotaru are dating? I snickered, and Amu heard. 'What?' I heard her ask me through the telepathic link I opened for her. I snickered again. 'Remember Ruka-pyon, the one with an Animal Pheromone Alice and the cold Hotaru, the one with the Invention Alice? Well, they're dating.' Next to me, I heard Amu snicker too. Well, with all that I've told her about them, why wouldn't she be laughing? I never thought Hotaru would even date, much less date princely Ruka-pyon, her blackmailing victim. "Didn't you hear me? I said get off." Natsume said in a calm yet dangerous voice. I stared at him. "Why?" That set him off. The end of my hair caught fire, but it extinguished before anyone could react. I smirked at him with the entire class staring at me. "H-h-how did you do that?" he stammered. I grinned and read his mind. 'The only one who can do that is Mi- Polka and her Nullification Alice. How could she put out my fire?' "Well, I have the Fire Alice, don't I?" His face hardened and he repeated "Get off." "No~" I sang. Trust me, I was enjoying every moment of this. He growled and turned around, seeing he couldn't beat me in our little argument. My grin got wider and I high-fived Amu. The class was staring in awe. Just then, I noticed his Chara, Ikuto, who seemed pretty interested in the argument. I stared at him, memorizing all the details about this particular Chara. Just then, Jinno-sensei came in, and the class turned back to the board. No one wanted to get fried by Jinno-sensei's Alice. Since my seat was near the window, I stared at the clouds and got lost in my thoughts. I can still remember the day when my "friends" abandoned me. Then, I smiled again, remembering my happy days with the Guardians. I missed them, Utau, and Ikuto-nii-san. "Starlight!" shouted Jinno-sensei. "Solve this problem on the board!" I sighed and got up. I walked over to the board and grabbed a blue dry-erase marker. I looked at the problem. I frowned. What is this teacher teaching? This is way too easy. I looked at the class. They were scribbling madly in their notebooks, trying to solve the problem. Amu, Natsume, and Hotaru already had the answer and were waiting. I sighed again and wrote the answer, which happened to be -51/43. I walked back to myseat and sat down. Lunch Time
BRRRRIIIINNNNGGG! That was the bell. I looked at the times table Naru gave me before he ran out to his 'meeting'. I knew he was actually trying on outfits. I used my X-Ray Alice and searched around. When I finally found Naru, he was twirling around in the cafeteria in a hot-pink and bright red frilly tutu, bright red ballet shoes, a sparkling pink tiara, and red ribbons in his hair. I gagged and shuddered. Amu looked at me questioningly and I sent her a picture of what I was seeing through my mind. Her eyes widened and her face puffed out as she was trying not to laugh. As soon as we were out of the classroom, she burst out laughing, clutching her ribs while leaning on the wall for support. I also snickered. You've got to admit, it is funny. After Amu got over her laughing fit, we headed downstairs to get lunch. When we sat down at the small Special Star table, no one was there. We sat down on the plush chairs and grabbed a menu.

"Hmmm… There are a lot of options, don't you think?" asked Amu. "Yeah, but we still have to chose. Oh well, we'll taste them all someday." I said "I'll take Chicken Wings, Egg Drop Soup, Homemade Iced Tea, and 3 Brownies." She ordered the robot waiter. "And I'll take Chicken Fried Rice, Mushroom Soup, Snapple, and sliced Strawberries, please." Amu told the waiter. Within a few minutes, our food arrived. Neither of us said anything. During the meal, we snuck food to their Charas who were in their bags under the table. Half an hour later, we finished their meals and headed up to the Double Special Star Room we shared. When they finally reached their rooms, they plunked their stuff down on their beds and their Charas floated out. "I'm tired!" whined Megumi. "Then rest." Sighed Rima and Hikari. "I'm going to take a shower." Mumbled Amu, and she walked off, giving me time to observe our room. There were two queen-sized beds in the room, which had pink transitioning into red, and red transitioning into orange. There were two built-in closets, one for me and one for Amu. I got up and slid the door open. Inside were at least ten cleaned and ironed uniforms. I headed into the open doorway, and saw the kitchen. Everything was sparkling clean, like it had been dusted and washed everyday. Well, maybe it had been, this school does have a lot of money. When I looked over at the glass table, I saw that there was a note on it. It read:
Dear Diamond and Amu-chan,
As you know, you two are both Special Stars. As a result, you both get 10,000 Rabbits a month. The Academy is also giving each of you 300,000 Rabbits as a head start. You can purchase items in the shopping center, called Central Town. There are stores that sell furniture, restaurants, gardening stores, snack shops, book stores, toy shops, jewelry stores, dress shops, and more. Please and Yuu Tobita for directions on how to get there, or you can ask the Guardians. The Guardians are a school council group consisting of Hotaru Imai-san and Natsume Hyuuga-san. I am aware that your previous school had a similar group also called the Guardians, although there are some major differences. Please remember curfew is 8 o' clock, and lights-out is at 10 o' clock.
With Great Love, Narumi L. Anjo~
I snickered at that last part. Her sounded like Amu's father!
The Next Afternoon Amu's P.O.V.
Me and Mikan were boarding the bus to Central Town. When we got there, I was in total awe. There were so many shops! When the bus came to a stop, I practically dragged her all the way to the nearest shop, which happened to be an empty second-hand accessory one. I bought a red jeweled X necklace, which matched my hairclips. When I asked Dia her opinion on it, as soon as she Chara Changed with me to see how it would look, the X turned into a bright yellow diamond. She was so surprised that she switched out of the Chara Change. When I looked at the label, it read Chara Necklace~ Reflects your Chara Changes! I also saw a pink jeweled sakura necklace of the same description. When I gave it to Mikan, she looked doubtful, but tried it anyway with Hikari. The sakura turned into a single red flame shaped jeweled charm. She grinned and we proceeded to the counter to pay for it. Once we got outside, we put it on and began wandering around. We still had our bags, so our Shugo Charas were still inside of them. However, they were proving to be a nuisance. I had to tell Ran to stop trying to scare Suu every five minutes. However, Mikan had no trouble at all with her Shugo Chara. Even Megumi was quiet. I sighed. Why did I have to have uncooperative Shugo Charas? After wandering around for a little while, we ended up in a clothes store. I saw Mikan examine some faded light blue jeans. I grinned. "That would look good on you. Maybe you should take that too." I said as I pointed to a midnight blue shirt with sleeves that ended at my elbows, which had soft yellow ruffles on the edge of the sleeves and the hem of the shirt. "Thanks. I'm going to try it out, so watch my bags and the 'things' inside, okay?" she asked. I knew by 'things', she meant her Shugo Charas. I nodded, and she slid into the fitting rooms. While she was changing, I looked around for something that would fit my taste. That's when I saw it. A flash of purple and a glimpse of a Shugo Chara. Her eyes widened. She knew that Chara anywhere. It was Yua! At that moment, Mikan came out. "Look!" I hissed "Isn't that Imai-san?" her eyes widened. She dashed back into the changing room and in ten seconds came out again, dressed back in her uniform. She rushed to the counter to pay for her purchases and we followed Imai-san as she walked out of the store. Mikan was in Megumi's Chara Change, and I was in Miki's, since she was always the calmest. Mikan's new necklace's charm was now a flame and mine was a jeweled spade. We followed her as she walked into the Northern Forest. When she came to a clearing, we gasped. There was a huge greenhouse made of clear crystal (looks like the one form Shugo Chara). When she went inside, Mikan and I jumped delicately on top of the roof, but I had to change into Ran's Chara Change first. Mikan saw an open window, and we crept by it, eavesdropping. "I feel something strange about the tow new transfer students, Amu Hinamori and Diamond Starlight. They didn't fall for you." Imai-san said in a monotone. "Remember the last one who didn't fall for you, Mikan-chan?" "Hn" was his response. "Remember the last transfer student? I have your picture when you heard that, hoping it was Mikan. Turns out, she became a major fangirl. I waste more BakaBullets on her a day than I ever wasted on Mikan in my entire lifetime. What was her name? Oh right, it was Luna Koizumi." Said Imai-san in a monotone. What she said was actually funny, but her monotonous voice made it sound dull. A small and high-pitched voice, who I assume is Yua, said "She puts on too much makeup. It makes her look like a clown. Her tan is fake! It makes her look orange, and she has to add so much foundation!" shrieked Yua. Me and Mikan looked at each other and sweat dropped. It seems like Yua is the Fashion Queen/Angel Chara. "So, about the transfer students, I sense a strong aura about the two of them. Could they be owners of a Shugo Chara?" continued Imai-san. "There's a possibility." replied Hyuuga-san. "We should keep a close eye on them." said Imai-san. "Hn, come on, Ruka." Came his response. Then, a moment later, they exited the greenhouse. With a swift nod from Mikan, we jumped off the roof, not making a sound. As we were falling down, I noticed a strange gleam, like a reflection, but I ignored it. Who knows how many weird things might be roaming around this Alice-filled place? I deactivated my Chara Change and Mikan switched to Hikari's. "We should get back to our dorms." She said coolly. I nodded and we headed back.
Once we were in our room, I asked Mikan "So what are we going to do? They're going to investigate us, you know." "We'll just wait and see what's going to happen. Don't mention it. Hotaru might have bugs spying on us this very moment." I nodded and went to take a shower.
When I stepped out, I asked Mikan "So, are we going to eat here, or in the cafeteria?" "Cafeteria." She replied. "Why?" "Because we can see how serious they are about investigating us." I nodded and headed down the elevator with Mikan. Soon, we ordered and got our food. At we started eating, I saw Mikan sneaking glances at the other end of the Special Star Table, so I looked as well. Sure enough, I saw Hyuuga-san sneaking a glance at us every so often. I was puzzled. Hyuuga-san takes missions, right? So how could he be so obvious? Oh, right! Speaking of missions, Persona-nii told us about a week ago, before we transferred, that we were super strong. However, we lacked experience, so we needed a guide. And that guide happened to be little Kuro Neko. Just then, Mikan finished her meal. I stifled a giggle. Even though she was different from the past happy-go-lucky Mikan, she still wolfs down her food. Not wanting to make her wait, I dumped the remainder of my food into the trash can and we walked out of the room.
"Ne, Mi- Diamond, shouldn't we be going already? Persona-nii should be waiting for us soon." I reminded her. She nodded and we changed into our mission outfits. Mikan was wearing a pair of black shorts, a red tank top, a thin black zipper hoodie (Like the one in her Emerald Charm Chara Nari) Her mask is midnight blue with a large golden star on each end, where the sides of the mask curl up. I'm wearing a long black sports pants with a pink stripe down the side and a elbow sleeved black shirt with a pink trim. My mask is the same as Mikan's, except with black where the blue is and pink where the gold is. Also, I chose Dia as my default Chara and Mikan chose Hikari as hers, just in case. To avoid being late, we used Mikan's Teleportation Alice to get to the clearing where Persona-nii would be waiting. Unfortunately for us, Kuro Neko was already there, decked out in his classical all-black mission outfit. "So I'll be guiding these two newbies?" he asked. Persona nodded. He turned to stare coldly at us. "Hn. I don't care who you are don't get in my way." "Ahem." Faked coughed Persona. "Your mission is to infiltrate an AAO warehouse, where important data on the students and their Alices are being held." We nodded in understanding. "Be back in five hours. Mission commence." And with that, our mission began.
