I'm really in a writing mood
So…here yet another chapter
Ikuto: Geez…you have no life if you can submit three chapters in one day
Utau: Seriously
Amu: Yea
Me: Shut up! I'm bored. Leave me alone!
Akki: No need to yell. You'd have more friends if you didn't yell.
Me:… I should kill you off for that
Anyway Since I have no social life I'm writing yet another chapter
And Thx again to Haur158 for reviewing.
I promise Akki won't be perfect
In fact…she will have some…fatal flaws. Hehe
Akki: ! What?
I don't own Shugo Chara. On with the story!
Chapter 5
The Sister's Hasn't Changed
"Long time no see Utau"
That was all I could think to say. She stops and looks me up and down. Her friend Yoru identified as 'Amu' looked confused.
"Excuse me…who are you?" she asks. I sigh.
"That's a long story kid"
Her eyes flash when I call her kid but she says nothing. She turns to Utau and asks her the same question. Utau says nothing. She takes a hesitant step forward, as if she's afraid I'd bite her. When I don't react she takes another. Next thing she's right in my face, staring me down. Only problem was she still had to look up at me. Ikuto might have out grown me, but she hadn't. Good.
"It's really you Akki?" she asks after a minute of awkward silence. I sigh.
"Yep" "Oh…then…in that case" "Huh?"
She pulls her hand back and slaps me across the face. Hard.
I don't try to move when her hand goes back.
I let her slap me. And boy she let me have it. I could feel cheek get hot and red.
"That was for Ikuto" Utau says as shewalks away.
Amu looks up at Ikuto's name. I rub my throbbing cheek.
"Ouch. That hurt."
Utau stops walking.
She fixes me with the same stare her brother had earlier.
"You had it coming." She says bluntly.
I sigh. "Guess so"
Amu cuts in. "Um…what's going on. Utau…why did you slap her. And just who is she?
I look at her. She had to be in elementary still. Pink hair pulled back into a ponytail. She appeared to be a normal human girl. But something was off about her.
"Amu what's happening?" a small voice asks.
Three tiny figures float out behind Amu. One has pink hair, one has blue, and the last is blonde. Three Shugo Charas. Who knew?
"Amu! What's going on. Who is that girl and why did Utau hit her?"
The pink one asks. The blue one nods and blondie adds
"Yea…Utau…why did you hit her?"
Utau doesn't respond.
"Your temper hasn't improved huh?" I break the silence.
Utau says nothing. Amu looks surprised. She walks over to me. Her shugo charas follow her. Yoru had run off at some point. Probably reporting to Ikuto. Great.
"You knew Utau before?" Amu's voice snaps me back to the present.
"Yep. Ikuto too." I reply
Amu says nothing.
"We never really knew you" Utau breaks in.
I look back at her. She hadn't moved and wouldn't look at me. She was shaking and her hands were balled into fists. In other words, she was PISSED. But she had every right to be.
"Still angry huh?"
She whipped around. I half expected fire to flying out of her mouth. Hehe.
"Of coarse I'm angry! You left without saying a word. And you didn't even bother to see Ikuto before you left! Do you have any idea how worried he was about you?"
Amu looked surprised when she heard Ikuto actually worried about things. I sigh.
"I saw him earlier"
That surprises her.
"You saw him?" she asks.
"Yea…that's what I just said."
"…what happened to you Akki? Why did you leave without saying goodbye? I know you didn't like me…but you didn't even bother to see him before you left. Where did you go? What was so important it couldn't wait till AFTER you said goodbye?"
No response there. I turn and begin to walk away. My stomach was doing summersaults, which meant I need another shot. Assuming the old man would give it to me.
"Answer me Akki!" Utau cries after me.
I stop and look back at them. Amu is just standing there…confused. And Utau is on the verge of tears.
I break my gaze.
"I saw Ikuto earlier. And he asked me the same thing."
Out of the corner of my eye I see Utau's go wide.
"I'll tell you what I told him."
I walk away.
"It's none of your concern."
