At the Tsukiyomi Household

Aiko was laying on her bed trying to sleep. The clock on her side marked the time to be midnight. The problem was she couldn't get some sleep. She kept turning and turning on her bed trying to find a good position to sleep with no success.

"What's the matter Aiko?" Ania asked waking from her slumber in her egg.

"I can't sleep well."

"Is something bothering you?"

"I don't know maybe it's because of what Amu said to us that day after Zero's party at the Royal Garden."

"You mean…about Nikaidou?"

Aiko held her pillow closer to her curled body, "If they find out about Nikaidou then I'll have to do this whether I want to or not."

"Aren't you worrying about things to much?" she asked yawning.

"I don't know, maybe I am."

"Try getting some sleep. It'll surely help you," Ania responded going back to her egg.

Aiko slowly closed her eyes and intended to sleep when her phone started ringing. She sat up to answer as Ania opened the egg once again to see what was happening.

"Hello?"

"Come to the park. Seems like we'll have some fishing to do tonight as well."

The other caller hanged up afterwards and immediately she knew who it was.

"Nikaidou…"

"Why now when I was getting such good sleep," she looked up to Aiko as she had this sad face on her, "Aiko…"

"We need to go," she said going to change, "It's for them two why I'm doing this."

She looked over to her drawer and saw the black egg next to Ania's and only looked down.

A few minutes after she was heading down the stairs, she walked down and almost as she met the floor she found Ikuto there sitting on the couch. She didn't stopped and as she touched the doorknob he called her.

"It's kind of late for you to be going out, you know," he called.

"Nikaidou called me, I'll be at the park as usual if you wanted to know," she answered emotionlessly.

"What's with that tone? You're never so cold."

"I might've change this time you were absent," she finalized leaving.

She ran through the street as Ania followed by her side.

"Ania…"

"Yeah," she answered, "Chara Change!"

The black wings appeared at her back as she hurried to the appointed spot. A few minutes later she arrived at the park noticing something unusual.

"This place…" she hissed.

"What's wrong with it?" Ania said.

"It's so…"

"Quiet?" Nikaidou called appearing from nowhere and interrupting Aiko.

"What was so important that you needed to call me at such late hours?" Aiko asked rudely.

"I've gotten the eggs I could. Now maybe you could find more of those Dark Tears that you're looking for so that egg can hatch."

"You've disappeared for two days from the school and you come to boss me around about my own business?"

"You want it to hatch as soon as possible don't you? I mean so that you can have enough power to free yourselves from Easter's grasp."

"My wishes are none of your concern."

"Well, then are you or are you not going to do this?"

Aiko looked down with the black masquerade on her hands, a few seconds and she raised it putting it down.

"Amu-chan, hurry it's near," Miki said as Ran and Su where at her side and Amu running behind them.

"Are you sure it's the presence of an X egg?" Amu asked them.

"We're not mistaken," Ran said.

"The energy is getting stronger as we approach," Su called.

Soon after, they turned to find many X eggs gathered at the center of the park and on the middle there she was, Black Cross.

"It's her again!"

"Hinamori Amu…" Black Cross hissed to herself.

"Why are you doing this?! Who are you Black Cross?!"

"You need not to know, for this will be…your resting place."

She motioned the X eggs to attack her and immediately Amulet Heart's pom-poms appeared as Amu quickly transformed.

"Chara Nari success!" Miki and Su called together.

Black Cross squinted unpleasantly, "Don't interfere with my plans!"

She called as the wings on her back grew and attack Amu. However with that attack she had lost control of the X eggs and they started going wild.

"Damn…" Black Cross hissed.

"Amu-chan, watch out in front of you!"

A group of eggs rushed towards her as she stayed immobilized in place.

"Amu-chan, move!"

"Dark Shield!" Black Cross called as a black shield protected Amu form the X eggs.

"Why did she do that?" suddenly she gasped as she saw a gang of eggs coming from back of Black Cross.

"Watch out!"

Black Cross turned but it was too late. The X eggs managed to tag her out of the air and tumble to the floor rolling a couple times. Without her noticing the black tear egg rolled of its chain on Black Cross' belt and rolled towards the far side.

She tried to sit up but noticed the gang coming at her again. She closed her eyes and a few seconds after opened them as she noticed that someone was in front of her, protecting her. And there was Amu creating a shield with the paintbrush of Amulet Spade.

"Amu…" she whispered to herself.

"Don't get any ideas. I'm paying my debt back that's all," she said looking over her shoulder.

"Colorful Canvas!"

The eggs disperse and were gathered up by Amulet Spade's attack.

Negative Heart

Lock on!

She formed a heart with her hands

Open Heart!

The eggs soon were purified as they left towards their owners. Amu turned hoping to find Black Cross on back of her but saw no one.

"Huh…?"

"Where is she?" Su said out loud.

"She left," Ran said.

"Hinamori Amu!" a voice called from above the trees where at a branch stood Black Cross holding her stomach on the left side, "I appreciate your fight with me. However this isn't over yet."

With that she left leaving Amu there.

"She's gone," Amu said as the transformation disappeared.

"Shouldn't you leave as well before your parents know you sneaked out the house?" Miki reminded.

"Shoot! I totally forgot!" she said running towards her home.

Slowly Nikaidou approached the lonely egg that was left on the floor. He bent over and picked it up.

"Just as planned."

The egg suddenly began cracking as a little boy chara popped out the tear egg. On both his eyes he had two painted tears of a blue color. He wore something like a nice outfit for going out. He also had a black hat on.

"This is getting so interesting."

The day after that was Monday which meant school day for the Guardians as well as paper work. After school the Guardians were to meet at the Royal Garden discussing about the recent outbreaks of X eggs.

Amu, Yaya, and Nadeshiko were heading there.

"Nee, have you notice the recent absences of Nikaidou-sensei?" Yaya asked.

"Which, would mean that we were probably right about our assumptions," Nadeshiko added.

Nadeshiko looked over to Amu waiting for a response which never came.

"Amu-chan is something wrong?"

"Uh, well…I kind of met with Black Cross again yesterday."

"Really!" Yaya called, "What happened? What happened?"

"The same things, X eggs were gathered around her in huge numbers. She attacked me and then suddenly the eggs became crazy and started attacking both of us."

"Really?" Yaya said.

"Did you manage to purify them?" Nadeshiko added.

Amu nodded, "The strange thing is…she told me that this wasn't over yet."

"This wasn't over yet?" Yaya repeated.

"Do you think she means about Easter's plans? Could she too be with Easter?" Nadeshiko asked out loud.

She looked down and kept walking when she heard Yaya calling, "Ah, Aiko-tan!"

Amu brought up her face and waved at the now waving Aiko.

As they arrived to the Royal Garden as they had arrived just in time for the tea. All the girls sat down as they began to drink tea and talk about the outbreaks.

"The amount of X eggs has increased significantly this past month," Tadase continued, "And it seems that our main suspect is Nikaidou-sensei."

"Tadase-kun, could it be that the girl Black Cross be involve in Easter too."

"She hasn't appeared since that first time we saw her, however the huge amount of X eggs she's able to summon is something we should keep in mind."

"I saw her last night as well; it was the same story too. The great kinds of X eggs with and still hidden behind that mask."

Aiko blew her tea to cool it a little as she drank a little and put it down and Ania looking up at her.

"Black Cross, who does she think she is?" Kuukai said, "If I ever find who she is, she better take good care of herself before I send her back from where she came from!"

Suddenly a clinging sound was heard as everyone turn to Aiko and saw she had spilled her tea.

"Shoot…" she hissed as she picked up the cup, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Nadeshiko said coming to her with a handkerchief, "Here let me clean it up."

"See what you did with your outburst like that," Amu told Kuukai.

"Ah, sorry Hikaru," he apologized.

"Aiko…" Ania whispered and looked down and noticed something.

She flew up to Aiko, "Hey look," she pointed down, "You skirt got wet."

"What! Really?" she said looking down to see her soaked skirt and standing up.

"I'm really sorry," he said noticing what he did.

"It wasn't your fault, really," she tried convincing him.

"I'll go to the bathroom to clean myself up," she said.

"You can take your stuff too," Tadase called, "That was all in today's meeting."

" Yeah."

Aiko walked alone to the girls' bathroom as she put her school bag aside and soaked a paper towel and started cleaning her skirt. As she cleaned she noticed her shirt was a little unbuttoned. She put the towel aside and unbuttoned the last three buttons of her shirt as she showed herself from the reflection of the mirror that on her abdomen were bandages covering it. She slightly touched it feeling the bandages tightly rapped over her fragile body.

"Aiko are you sure you're okay?" Ania asked her very concerned.

"Don't worry this is only a minor wound."

When she had rolled on the floor last night she had rolled over some roots of the tree that were so dried that they were already pointy and breakable.

"It's only a little scratch," she said reassuring her and buttoning her shirt.

Afterwards she came out the bathroom followed by Ania. Then she noticed Kuukai leaning over the wall in front of her.

"Souma-kun?"

"Hey," he said as Daichi came out.

"Is there something you want?" she asked.

"Well, is you wouldn't mind, would you come to have some lunch with me?"

"Lunch?" she repeated as she started to blush a little.

"Of course she will!" Ania responded for her.

"Ania!"

"So will you?"

"Yeah, sure. It sounds fun," Aiko answered.

Then both of them started walking as dawn started to hit the city. Aiko kept looking down to hide her flustered face. Ania was simply giggling next to Daichi.

"We're here," he said softly as Aiko stopped to look at an American style café.

A bright smile came to her face at the sight of such lovely place. Kuukai simply stared at her dazzled expression.

"What is this place?" Aiko asked him as they entered.

"It somewhere where I've coming to since little," he answered.

They both took their seats as the waitress came over.

"You've finally brought some of your friends haven't you," she called to him.

"Finally?" Aiko repeated.

"This here's Shion; she's been a childhood friend."

"Nice to meet you," Shion said to Aiko.

"The pleasure's mine, I'm Hikaru Aiko," Aiko said nervously.

"You're so cute, I wonder how you ended up being Kuukai's girlfriend," she stated.

"What?" Aiko said as she began to blush heavily, "G-Girlfriend?"

"No, you're wrong," Kuukai said all nervous and blushing as well, "Hikaru is just one of my school friends."

"So what are you two love birds going to order?" she said teasingly.

"I told you it's not like that!"

After that they had ordered and were already finished and were just talking. Aiko was drinking from her soda while Kuukai gave his hamburger another bite.

"Nee, Souma-kun?" she said breaking the silence.

"Yeah?" he said continuing to eat.

Aiko looked down to her drink, "At today's meeting you were talking about that Black Cross girl as if she were a bad guy, like those from Easter. I know I haven't met her yet, but you've only met her once too. Why are you so determined in ending her doings?"

Suddenly Kuukai stooped and put his food on his plate as Aiko now faced him, "I know I'm not that much in the knowledge for judging her but…what she does is wrong and she can't keep that stupid façade on forever. I think she knows well as everyone that sooner or later her silly mask will vanish one of these days."

Aiko gulped a little at hearing how serious Kuukai sounded at the moment, "But…but what if she wasn't what we think she is? Maybe she's like that Tsukiyomi Ikuto that's always helping Amu out."

"Maybe," he said after a few seconds, "Even though a girl of almost our age must be completely aware of her actions. She must've known that what she was doing was wrong."

Aiko looked to her side as she heard those words. HE was right, Aiko knew that, but she couldn't convince him that Black Cross, her other self at this world, wasn't bad by will. That she was being forced to.

"Anyways," he said in his cheerful tone again and standing up, "We should probably get you home; it's already getting dark out. I bet your brother would get worried if you don't get home before dark hits."

"Yeah," she agreed.

They started walking towards Aiko's house as she still kept her head down.

"I have to tell him," she thought, "At least him just to take this sharp pain I feel on my chest."

"S-Souma-kun," she said out loud and stopping.

"What's wrong?" he asked stopping in front of her.

"W-Well, I-I wanted to say that…" Aiko thought deeply and knew she couldn't tell him, "You were going to tell me something back then. When you told me come to the park that night. What was it?"

Aiko saw Kuukai's face turn redder by the moment. A few seconds passed as he still said nothing.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell, you know. I'm not forcing you to anyways. So you don't have to answer my question."

She began walking again and soon passed the standing Kuukai.

"W-Wait!" he called as he once more embraced her, this time from the back and holding her by the stomach, exactly where her bandages were.

"I knew you wouldn't listen to me back then because of your brother that interrupted us," he buried his face again on my shoulder as she felt his grip get stronger.

"I just couldn't tell you fast enough back then," he continued as Aiko's face fluster red and her breathing became fast do to the small pain of the wound and the rapidness of the situation.

By now both Daichi and Ania were watching both of their owners like that, the way they were.

Aiko's hands moved to his as she tightened his grip on her like if she wanted this moment to never pass. The pain didn't matter to her anymore; she already knew what Kuukai wanted to say. She wanted to hear it from him before she told everything she knew she felt as well.

Aiko softly tilted her head making it be by his ear, "Please…tell me."

"Aiko…I-," but that didn't last long for Aiko's phone had interrupted yet one more time.

It rang for a few seconds and Aiko hoping it would stop didn't answer it.

"You should answer…" Kuukai whispered to her by the ear.

"Not 'till you tell me," she persisted.

"It could be your brother, you should answer."

He separated from her unchained Aiko answered her ringing phone.

"Hello?" she answered in a soft voice due to the nervousness she still had from such close encounter.

"You should've been home by now, shouldn't you?"

Ikuto…

"I was out eating with a friend which if you didn't know is none of your business."

"Right, and that they called from Easter for you isn't my business either."

"They what?" she hissed.

"Exactly, so are you coming or not?"

Aiko sighed and looked over to Kuukai whose face was still with a soft red blush.

"I'll be there."

Aiko hanged the phone and looked up to him once more.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, "It was my brother after all."

"You should go home then," he said calmly.

"But…I really want to hear it from you. I want those words to come from you before me."

He came closer to her as he looked into her sapphire eyes with his emerald, "It's seems not tonight."

He came closer bit by bit as Aiko closed her eyes closed due to how scared she was. But he suddenly stopped as he moved to the side and gave her a soft kiss on her cheek. Aiko immediately opened her eyes as she saw Kuukai stood straight and started to walk away. Aiko still surprised touched her warm cheek that he had kissed. She looked down still touching it as small tears escape her eyes.

Somewhere else Nikaidou studied the energy of the X eggs he had gathered.

"She's got it now," the little voice called as the boy Chara came floating around.

"Can you fully control her now?" Nikaidou asked.

"Of course. With her heart so vulnerable where I can see her, it'll be quite easy."

"What about the tears she purified?"

"That won't be a problem. I can easily fix loose things."

"I will just need some more time before my 'kitchen' is finished."

"I'll get that time."

"Very nice character you are…Pinto."


I know it sounds very girly but I ad to at least put some kind of romance there

Next time will they find out that Aiko is really Black Cross? What will Pinto do to Aiko?

Find out next time
