Hi hi chappy 9 here teehee the music box is from Ashita no Nadja you'llsee what I'm talking bout

Aiko's POV

It was so annoying to be hiding the thing about Easter to them. Now I have to hide the fact that another egg was born and this one wasn't exactly what they already had known. I woke up and found that Ania was sleeping happily in her egg. Six in the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep. I knew exactly what the black egg had in stock for me. I already knew even though I didn't want it to be born. I moved all over my bed thinking and thinking. Once she hatches it'll be over with. I could finally regain what I had lost so long ago.

I looked over to the clock. It read six forty-five. I stood from my bed and started getting ready for school as quietly as I could. I seriously didn't want to take the sweet time Ania had to sleep peacefully.

I could almost remember when I still had her with me. At my side all times. She was my first friend that I could truly talk to without feeling overwhelmed. I could almost hear her playing the same song on her harp like she used to. Her gentle smile carrying me all the way. Until father left and so did she…

After that Ania was born. Even though she knows nothing about her, I wouldn't like to see her face if I tell her what had happened. I looked over to the clock; seven o'clock.

I came closer to the basket where Ania and the black egg rested. I poked Ania's egg slightly.

"Hey, sleepy head wake up," I whispered.

The egg opened showing a sleepy Ania rubbing her eyes.

"Give five more minutes…" she said yawning.

"We have to go. It's already seven."

"Okay," she stretched and floated over to the dresser and looked herself in the mirror fixing her hair.

She then turned to see her hair from the side and noticed my calendar next to the dresser.

"Hey Aiko."

"What?" I said while laying on my bed.

"Look tomorrow, don't you remember what day is tomorrow?"

"No, How come?"

"Tomorrow silly. It's your birthday."

I looked up at calendar noticing the day Ania had circled for me at the beginning of the year. December 24th.

"It's going t be the same as every year," I said standing up and heading out, "Neither will care. They have more important business to take care of."

I opened the door and Ania followed and I closed the door behind me.

Amu's POV

I screamed, "This is bad! It's already so late!"

"I need to hurry, or I'll be late!"

"Go, go! Hurry, hurry, Amu-chan!" Ran cheered.

"If you have time to cheer, the help me!"

"Amu-chan, there's something in your teeth," Mikki told me.

I covered my mouth in embarrassment.

"And you hair is still a mess from sleeping," Ran called.

After a few minutes I was ready, "Perfect."

"It's only the morning preparations," Ran said.

"Always making a fuss," Mikki said.

I sweat dropped at their comments.

"Quiet, and let's go, you three! Where's Su?"

Mikki and Ran noticed the missing of Su right on that moment. Then the window slide opened and in came Su.

"Just in time," she said, "Sorry to keep you. Morning walk: complete."

"You…"

"Always the center of attention," Ran called.

"Yes?"

"I'm off!" I said heading down the stairs.

"Hold on! Sis, let's put up the decorations!"

Ami had stopped me.

"Decorations? A Christmas tree?"

"Here's an early Christmas present for my two angels!" Papa called.

"Next!" Ami yelled.

"She's been like this all morning," Mama said to me, "Saying she wants to decorate with Sis."

"Decoration, eh?"

"Sounds fun!" Ran called.

"Leave something like this to me!" Mikki said all pro.

"When it comes to cute decorations, Su won't lose!" Su came all pro, too.

"All right. A challenge!"

"I'll accept it."

"Great chara!" I heard Ami say face-to-face with the three.

Ami jumped and grabbed them, "Great chara! Great chara!"

"Great?" Mama repeated.

"What?" Papa asked.

"It's nothing whatsoever," I said moving my arms about.

"Ami sure is a handful! Her imagination has no limits!"

I started whistle to take there attention off Ami.

"Amu-chan!" Ran said trying to pull free but was pulled back down.

At school we arrived at the Royal Garden.

"So you see…I have to help with the decorations when I get home."

"Helping should be no problem," Kuukai added.

"You have no idea Kuukai."

I told him about how Ami wanted to put the three up as decorations. At remembering this both me and Ran laughed ashamed.

"Sounds troubling," I heard Tadase-kun say.

"Ah, well, I guess I was wrong."

"Being lively is fine, though," Nadeshiko said.

"You'll have a lot to do when you get home, it seems," Aiko added.

"Amu-chi, we're done!" Yaya called.

"Ta-da! Mikki said showing me a drawing of the Christmas tree decorated, "How odes it look?"

"That's great, Mikki. It's cute."

"Then, on the way home, let's buy the decorations."

"Yeah."

"That reminds me," Tadase-kun said, "Hikaru-san?"

"What?"

"Isn't your birthday on Christmas Eve?"

"Yeah, and…"

"What do you mean 'and' it's going to be your birthdays soon," I replied, "Aren't you like excite about it?"

"Not really. If they're not there I really don't care if it's my birthday."

"They?" Nadeshiko asked.

"My older brother and sister."

"They don't celebrate it with you," Kuukai asked.

"Not since I was seven. After that even I started to forget in which day it was."

"And what about your mom and dad?" Yaya called.

"My father isn't with us and my mother was in the hospital since I was three."

"That's sad," I said without thinking.

"Not really. I know that both have more important things to do than celebrate."

"That shouldn't be they're your family. They should celebrate with you," I said.

"Doesn't matter, really."

"Okay then," I said standing up, "If they don't want to then we'll celebrate with you."

"What?"

"Yeah that's a great idea," I heard Tadase-kun.

"Why?"

"We're your friends, if you have no one to celebrate with we'll do it happily," Nadeshiko say.

"Right then it's decided," Kuukai said, "We'll have a birthday party for you."

"And since it's on Christmas Eve we can have the party the day we have the Christmas Party," Tadase-kun added.

"Fine, so you'll come with us to buy decorations right?" I said to her.

She stared at me and then smiled warmly, "Sure."

Nobody's POV

The whole group was in a Christmas sale store buying the stuff. Yoru had noticed that they were inside the store and started to plan something for them with his fellow cats.

Amu picked something up, "I think Ami will like this."

"What a great sister. You understand Ami-chan' tastes," Nadeshiko said.

"N-No, I just…"

Meanwhile Kiseki was looking at himself in the mirror while he wore a Santa hat that combined perfectly with his cape. He then noticed that Kuukai was laughing and so was Aiko who was with him and Tadase.

"If you like it, I'll buy it for you," Tadase said.

"I don't accept charity from servants."

"Aiko look what I found!" Ania called to her.

"Coming."

Ania was standing next to white with gold music jewelry box.

"Nee, can it play something?"

"Let's see."
Aiko picked up the box and wind it up. She opened it and it began playing a cute but sad melody. Kuukai walked towards them. "What ya looking at?"

Aiko didn't answer she was to busy hearing the tune go on. Kuukai began listening as well next to her close.

"It's a pretty melody," he said trying to get her attention.

"Very."

"You like it."

She nodded, "It reminds me of someone I use to see."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. I just... like to hear it."

"It sounds like those songs your brother use to play in the violin," Ania said.

"Your brother plays the violin?"

"It's been so long since I've heard him play a song like this."

"You really do like your family even though they forget about you."

"They don't really mean to do it," she sounded sad and overwhelmed.

The song stopped.

"Ah, it's over," Ania said.

"Oh, well let's looked at something else," she said walking away with the girls.

Kuukai was looking at the box. He picked it up and murmured, "Well, this would make some great Christmas present. Now all I need is something for her birthday."

"I'm done. I'll take this," ran told Amu.

"I want this and this," Mikki said.

"Su wants all this."

"Hey, you guys. I said you could have one each."

"Okay," the three said.

They all came out and Su was being slow on following the others. She got hit by the sliding door and dropped to the floor dropping her item.

"Her!" Yoru called and all the cats followed behind.

"That hurt!"

Yoru grabbed the bag and went ahead.

"You can't! You can't have that!" she cried.

"Here!" Yoru threw the bag and made Su squeak.

One cat caught it and went running.

"Wait!"

As the cats went up the latter she followed, "Wait!"

"All right, this is far enough."

The cat threw it at Su but she didn't catch it and fell inside something. She went for it and suddenly was trapped inside a motorcycles seat.

Yoru got all scared because the motorcycle started to move, "I don't know nothin'!"

"Well, see you at school tomorrow," Tadase told Amu.

"Yeah, thanks for coming."

"Say hello to Ami-chan for us," Nadeshiko said.

"See you," Kuukai said.

"Bye-bye!" Yaya called.

"See you tomorrow," Aiko called.

"Well, then."

"A-Amu-chan," Ran said hesitantly.

"What's wrong?"

"Su is…" Mikki dared not say it.

"Don't tell me."

"Yeah," both said.

"Jeez…I only took my eyes off her for a moment," she made a fist, "Where did she go?"

Aiko's POV

We had left Amu and were walking the same direction. We were walking pass a jewelry store. I stopped noticing a necklace that looked familiar. I stopped to look at it. There was no mistake it was the exact same thing as the other one. I noticed that the others had stopped with me.

Nadeshiko came next to me, "That's a beautiful gold locket, don't you think?"

"Nadeshiko, yeah it is."

"And what a coincidence it has the shape of a diamond," she pointed out.

I heard Tadase and Souma-kun talking at our backs.

"I hope we can make her happy in the Christmas Party," Tadase said.

"I know it's sad. Not even her own brother and sister celebrate her birthday," Souma-kun said.

It didn't matter. I knew Ikuto and Utau truly care for me however they still have to complete their own contract with Easter as so do I. So I understood. I couldn't always get what I want right?

I heard my phone ring and picked it from my pocket.

"Hello?"

"Aiko, Ikuto and you need to show up, so call him."

Nikaidou…

"How come?"

"I never get to his phone so you have to call him."

"Fine, I'll do it."

"That's what I wanted to hear."

I simple hanged up before saying anything.

"Sorry guys. I need to hurry back home."

"No worries," Nadeshiko said.

"We'll see you tomorrow," Tadase said.

I left running and turned about three blocks and then I stopped and started walking.

I was dialing his number as I murmured to myself, "Gosh, why does he have to be so annoying."

Ikuto's POV

It was kind of late now but still I wanted to walk around. I heard my phone ringing. Not Utau again. I looked at it…Aiko. I picked up the call and just kept walking forward.

"What's wrong?"

"You idiot. Thanks to you not answering to Nikaidou's calls I had to take he blame."

"Then why did you answer in the first place?" I told her.

"I did not know it was him!"

"Yeah so what did you want?"

"He told me to tell you about showing up with me. Didn't tell me where."

"Did he tell you where?"

"No he didn't why?"

"Then I won't go."

I hanged up and kept on walking.

Normal POV

While Ikuto was walking he noticed Amu looking around as if looking for something if someone. She turned and ran. He just kept on walking.

"Man…if we don't go home soon, I'll be in trouble."

"Anyways, let's go home for now," Ran said.

"She could have already found her way home using homing instinct," Mikki said.

"That's true."

Meanwhile Su was still looking for them.

"When I'm hungry. I lose my strength. I mustn't! The Christmas tree is waiting for the decorations! I have to return to Amu-chan's house no matter what! But which way should I go? At time's like these…"

She let her hand mixer in a standing position and let it fall. It fell to the right and rolled towards the left.

"Let's try this way first!"

Ikuto was now in the park sitting down on the pavement ground. He set his violin to the side and was about o open it when he noticed Yoru coming towards him looking over his shoulder.

"What's wrong Yoru?"

"It's nothing."

He then pinched Yoru's ear, "Nothing!"

"It's not nothing. You're hiding something."

Yoru began sweating, "I'm not hiding nothing."
"You're clearly acting suspicious," he said pinching Yoru's cheek, now that made him talk.

"I was playing a prank, but Hinamori Amu's Shugo Chara was taken somewhere."

He gasped remembering Amu at the streets.

He let go, "Is that what this is about?"

"I was just playing around…" and the Yoru was flicked by Ikuto.

"What are you doing? Ikuto, where are you going?"

At Amu's house Su hadn't come back and the Christmas tree was already decorated.

"That Su…She wasn't s tome after all."

"The Christmas tree decorations were finished, too," Ran said.

"And Su was looking forward to it," Mikki added.

Amu sat up from bed, "Yeah," and looked forward.

She gasped as she saw Ikuto climb up her balcony. He simply waved and she quickly closed the door and hided behind the curtains.

"Why did you come here?"

"Your shugo chara…"

"I can't hear you."

Ikuto bumped his forehead on the glass, "Apparently, your shugo chara went towards the next town."

He then started leaving, "There. I've told you now."

"H-Hey!" Amu said while opening the door.

When she got there Ikuto was already down below.

"W-Wait. Why do you know that?"

"See you," and he kept walking away.

"Wait!"

"The next town?" Ran repeated.

"She's not too accurate with directions," Mikki added.

"Why didn't you tell her it was my fault?"

"She's our enemy, after all."

"Oh, I see."

Meanwhile downstairs of Amu's house Papa was recording Ami and Mama.

"You sure are being sneaky," Mikki said.

"If I get caught leaving the house this late, I'll be in big trouble!" she hissed.

Thanks to the T.V Amu shrieked and was found out.

"Amu-chan, where did you intend to go this late at night?"

"Umm…"

"Don't tell me. Girl meets boy? And after that, boyfriend!"

"You're wrong!"

"Anyways, it's too late for today."

"But…"

On the other hand, Su was still looking around.

"It's getting chilly."

She looked up noticing a house, "Such a big house…"

She went in through the window, "Excuse the intrusion."

Suddenly Yamabuki Saya came in and started looking for something.

"Gone, gone, gone, gone! The pink lip gloss I just bought is gone! My lucky color is going to be pink tomorrow! After he sees this, I'll get my Kuukai-sama's heart! That was what was supposed to happen!"

"I'll try somewhere else," Su said leaving.

While she was sleepily floating she bumped into something.

"Ah! E-Excuse me!"

The dog only licked her face.

"Is that right? You're lost, right? I understand. In the morning, we can look for our houses together."

The dog barked.

"People in trouble should help each other."

Back with Amu she still couldn't sleep.

"Su…I wonder where she ran off to?"

"She'll be fine," said a sleepy Ran.

"Let's go to sleep. She'll be back in the morning," assured Mikki.

"You two are heartless."

Meanwhile Su was sleeping on the dog and his silky fur, "Fluffy and warm."

The next day the first thing that happened was Saya putting on the pink lip gloss.

"How do I look? I searched all night for this radiant lipstick."

"Now I'll undoubtedly be able to get Kuukai-sama's heart. Today is the start of my school life of celebrity love!"

"Saya-sama, speaking of him…"

They saw Kuukai was walking and talking to his friend.

"Kuukai-sama!"

"Saya-sama, fight!"

She went running towards him, "K-Kuukai-sama!"

Suddenly she bumped into this kid.

"I'm sorry."

"What are you doing there? Watch where you're walking!"

"Saya-sama. The lucky item lipstick is…" it was rolling down the sidewalk.

The kid stood up and noticed Amu walking all silent.

"Good morning, Hinamori-sempai."

"Oh, 'morning."

And as they walked to the school both sighed at the same time.

"What? Su ran away?" Yaya said all loud.

"No she didn't run away. At least I don't think so."

"Do you have any idea where Su might have gone?" Tadase asked.

"Well, I looked all around on the way to school."

"Don't worry. She may be a tad carefree, but she's reliable," Nadeshiko assured her.

"She' right that's something you can always count on," Aiko added.

"That's true. After all, she's a shugo chara born from Hinamori," Kuukai stated.

"Is that supposed to cheer me up?"

Kuukai laughed, "Sorry, sorry. Well, don't worry. We'll help you look after school."

"Of course," Yaya added.

"Right," Nadeshiko said.

"No need to ask," Aiko said.

"You guys…"

"But, I am a bit worried Kiseki," Tadase said.

"Got it."

He went close to the other shugo charas.

"Loyal subjects, the world domination organizational meeting planned for today has been put on hold. As for now, we will search for Su instead."

"Yep," Mikki and Ran agreed.

"That sounds more interesting than the meeting," Daichi said.

"That's right," Pepe agreed.

"I can hear you," Kiseki said sweat dropping.

"See you, Amu-chan," Ran said.

"See you!" Yaya said.

Meanwhile Su was riding on top of the dog while he carried her bag.

"Thank you for yesterday. Because of Puppy, I was able to fall asleep."

Then the dog suddenly stopped making Su noticed something in front of them.

"A lost item, it seems," Su said trying to picking up the wallet on the floor.

"I-It's heavy."

Then the dog came picking it up.

"Thank you! Let's take it to the police station now."

They kept walking forgetting Su's bag behind.

Meanwhile the Charas were looking for Su.

At the police station Su and the dog left the wallet.

"Everything's fine now."

Suddenly bouncing around came, "Useless."

Noticing this they both looked up.

"Useless. Useless. Useless.

"An X egg!"

The egg suddenly went running.

"Oh, no! Puppy, chase it!"
Then the dog started running after it.

"What should we do?"

With Mikki and Ran they had found the bag Su had.

"This is…" Ran said.

"The package Amu-chan bought for Su?" Mikki finished.

"Useless."

The egg went running followed by the dog. Then Su noticed that someone caught the egg.

It was Ikuto.

"You are…"

"You still haven't return to her?" Yoru said.

"Her? You mean Amu-chan?"

"No! It's nothing at all! Anyway, Ikuto, we have to hurry, or we'll be in trouble."

"Yeah, that's right."
"W-What are you doing?"

"Breaking the X egg, of course. Cleaning up the garbage is our job, after all."

"You can't do that!" Su then charged and took the egg out of Ikuto's hands. Then she went with he dog that started growling.

"Give it back!" Yoru said going towards her, but the dog barked and he stepped back.

"That's dirty!"
"I won't give you Mr. X egg."

"Don't interfere," Ikuto made a fist with his hand and the cat paw came out.

Su just closed her eyes and protected the egg.

"What are you doing, Ikuto? You don't really need the power of a Chara Change to handle an opponent like that, right?" then a girl with amethyst purple eyes and long blonde hair that was in two pony tails appeared.

"She's a pretty person," Su said.

At school the classes were over and Amu went ahead. The others headed in a different direction.

With Su the girl was coming down the steps next to Ikuto.

"There is no point for an X egg to exist. Let's destroy it and hurry home."

Then Ikuto's Chara Change disappeared as he faced to his side.

"Y-You can't break it!"

"How else can you deal with an egg marked with an X?"

"Amu-chan would do something to solve it!"

The girl gasped, "Are you Hinamori Amu's shugo chara? In that case, even better."

Devil wings then appeared on her back. She stretched her arm towards Su and a gust of wind came through of a Dark but bright red. First it blew then it sucked back making Su loose the grip on the egg. Then the girl caught it.

"All we need is the embryo. Worthless X eggs should just disappear. Isn't that right, Ikuto?"

"You mustn't! Amu-chan would never say something like that. Amu-chan would save every egg, no matter what kind it is!" Su screamed.

"That voice…" Amu said.

"You heard it?" Mikki asked.

"Yeah," Ran answered.

"Su!"

"Amu-chan."
Amu came over to were Su was. She stopped noticing who was there.

"Ikuto. Who's that pretty girl?"

The girl got a grip of the egg getting it up to the level of her face.

"An X egg?"

"Amu-chan…"

"Su what's going on?"

"I'll explain later. Hurry and save the egg!"

The girl started to put pressure on the egg.

"Su, a character transformation. You can do it, right?"

"Yes!"

My own heart

Unlock!

Chara Nari:

Amulet Clover!

"Su, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Then Amu raised her right arm and a hand mixer appeared on her hand.

"Sugar, honey, and syrup! Let's dissolve everyone's gloom with sweets!"

Then the Humpty Lock began shinning brightly. The girl had to cover her eyes and in that the egg escaped her hand.

"Amu-chan!"

"Right!"

"Remake Honey!"

Then honey began spreading towards the egg.

"Useless!"

Then the egg had been purified and shortly after returned to it's owner.

"All right!" Amu said looking up into the sky, "They're gone."

"Who was that girl just now? She was really pretty" Amu thought.

With Ikuto and the girl they were hidden.

"I won't lose. I won't lose to that girl."

Ikuto was walking away and the girl followed close.

"The one who will find the embryo for Ikuto will be me."

After that Amu took off the transformation.

"That was the first character transformation between us, right, Su?"

"It's a bit embarrassing."

"And where have you been all this time?!"

"It doesn't matter," A voice said.

They both turned to Ran and Mikki with Su's bag.

"Ran, Mikki…" Su said.

"You dropped this, right?"

"Now that you mention it…"

"You forgot?"
"Hinamori-san!"

Amu turned to find all the guys with her.

"All right! You found her?" Nadeshiko said.

"Yeah, sorry about the fuss."

"Amu-chan, do one more character transformation, please!"

"If it needs to be fixed, leave it to me!"

"Remake Honey!"

Then the honey made the plate of the dog readable.

"The third street in the southern block should be around here," Kuukai said.

The dog then went running towards a house.

"His house seems to be over there," Tadase pointed out.

"Thank goodness," Su said.

"Well then let's go home too."

"Yes! Goodbye!"

At Amu's house the tree was sparkling but it needed one more thing.

"It's sparkly."

"Here, Su!" Mikki called.

Su then got her decoration of a green clover out and placed it on the tree.

"All done!"

"That was lots of trouble, but…"

"Finally complete," Mikki finished.

"All right, Su!" Ran said.

Then Ami found the three girls and stared to play with them again.

"It still ended like this!"

"This is what you call sticking to a promise," Mikki said.

Hihi so how was it I still think its pretty long I really try to make them shorter I'll try again next chapter

See ya!
