Chapter 4
In a forest, trees were letting there green leaves fall from their branches. Birds were whistling a very beautiful song. The sun produced good light and warmth for everything that was cold in the darkness.
A little girl sat on her legs in the middle of the clearing, picking some stray flowers off the ground. She looked so lonely all by herself. Her pink hair barely brushing her shoulders were being swept by the breeze of the spring air. Eyes of emerald jewels were dull and held no emotion whatsoever.
"Sakura-nee!"
The little girl went stiff by hearing the voice but, quickly relaxed before turning her head in the direction of the voice that called her name. Her eyes were no longer dull but, held happiness.
"OI Sakura-nee, where are you?"
Quickly the little girl jumped to her feet, wiping some stray dirt off of her light blue sundress and quickly took off towards the voice that was calling her name.
"Sakura-nee!"
Faster, the little girl ran through the tall trees to only reach a big clearing. On the other side of the clearing stood three people, one tall man with his hands in his pockets slouching in a comfortable manner with two little boys standing in front of him with either a smile or a smirk on their faces. Once the little girl saw them, she sprinted across the clearing to only end up in the arms of the little boy that called her name.
"Naruto-nii, I found you."
*Ding-Dong*
"That will be all for today class. Now don't forget to do your workbook pages 65 through 67 for homework. Have a nice weekend." Said Homura-sensei while putting all of her papers together and putting them into her briefcase.
All the students quickly got up and packed their bags while also talking to some of their friends at the same time. In the back of the classroom, right beside the window sat a young pink haired girl. She neither rushed to pack or talk to nearby friends; instead she sat there with her chin on her left hand that sat on the desk in front of her while looking out the window. Her eyes showed no emotion whatsoever until a little shy voice spoke to her.
"Sakura-chan."
Sakura turned her head to the right; she saw both her charas, Ino and Hinata waiting for her to get up. Sakura's eyes showed a hint of happiness. Sakura nodded her headand stood up, fixing her skirt a little bit before putting her notebooks and pencils in her messenger bag. Once done, Sakura looked at Ino and Hinata, signaling to them that she was ready before making her way to the door. Walking out of the classroom with Ino and Hinata floating by her shoulders, Sakura made her way over to the stair case.
Once she got close, Sakura noticed a boy with brown bob cut hair and big circle glasses standing nervously with a letter in his hands. It was the same boy she bumped into on her way to school a couple of days ago. Sakura shook her head as she remembered him squealing about how cool she was.
"The Humpty Lock is nearby."
Quickly Sakura stopped in her tracks with a surprised expression on her face. She then turned around to see what or who was the cause of the voice. Hinata and Ino gave questioning looks to her at her abrupt change in pace. Seeing no one strange, Sakura turned her head to her charas, and signaled to them that she was fine. Ino and Hinata nodded their heads and floated on ahead to Sakura's next class.
Sakura then put her right hand to her right pocket on her blazer. Feeling the object pulse made Sakura narrow her eyes a little bit before looking forward and continue on walking.
"The lock is here, Guardian."
Walking past the boy and the stair case, Sakura glanced at the corner of her eye to see Amu walking up the stairs before redirecting her gaze toward Ino's and Hinata's floating backs.

Amu walked up the stairs with an irritated look on her face while Miki and Ran were discussing about Amu and her lateness to school. Amu could only blow out a loud and irritated sigh before continuing her way up the stairs.
"The Humpty Sword is nearby."
Quickly Amu froze in her spot once hearing the voice. Turning around to see anyone was behind; Amu gave a questioning look once she saw no one there.
"Amu-chan, are you okay?" asked a worried Ran while her and Miki who were floating near the top step of the stairs.
Turning back around to Ran and Miki, Amu looked up at them and opened her mouth to say something.
"Did you he- The Guardian is nearby."
Amu was interrupted by the voice but Ran and Miki gave no inclination of hearing it, but continue to give her worried glances.
"Did we what, Amu-chan?" asked Miki this time while she crossed her arms over her chest.
Looking past Ran and Miki, Amu saw Sakura walk past the stairs with her hands in her blazer pocket with a cool and collective expression on her face. Amu watched Sakura walk by before jogging up the rest of the steps to only watch Sakura's retreating back. Ran and Miki flew in front of Amu's face to only see her expression in a daze. Ran and Miki turned to each other and gave a worried look before facing the direction Amu was looking at only to see Sakura's disappearing back down the hallway.

*Ding-Dong*
Following her classmates outside to the courtyard, Amu walked with her hands stuffed in her blazer pocket with an emotionless expression. She was walking behind a small group of girls who were chatting about a cute store that they were going to go to. When the girl at the end of the group took a glance backwards and saw Amu, she then asked her friends if they wanted to invite Amu along.
"Are you crazy? Amu-san wouldn't want to come with us." Yuki told her.
Sasha decided to put her two cents in as well. "Yeah, I don't think it's her style anyways."
Maya could only nod her head in agreement. After hearing the conversation before her, Amu stopped walking and frowned.
"I thought I was getting closer to everyone."
Amu let out a sad sigh while Ran and Miki flew in front of her and gave her a cheer up look. Amu shook her head as a way of telling them that she was alright. They could only nod and continue to float before her.
"Amu-chan."
"!"
Amu turned around so fast that she lost her balance and fell backwards on her butt with her legs sprawled out using one hand to keep her upright while the other hand over her heart with a terrified look on her face.
Nadeshiko stood before her giggling at her little performance.
"You really are a scaredy-cat, Amu-san."
Ran, Miki, and Amu could only stare at her like she had grown another head. Nadeshiko kept on giggling.
"What do you want?" Amu asked still sitting on the ground but this time there was a sweat drop on the side of her head. Nadeshiko gave her a bright smile with her hands clasped behind her back. Temari giggled at Nadeshikos antics.
"Let's be friends!"
Amu could only stare in shock at what Nadeshiko had said. But she quickly composed herself and jumped to her feet all the while pointing at Nadeshiko as like an enemy before saying, "Lies, this is another plot to get me to join the Guardians!"
Nadeshiko only continued to smile while tilting her head to the left and said, "Well shoot there goes plan A, Temari-chan."
Temari floated up near Nadeshiko's shoulder and covered her giggles with the sleeves of her kimono. "Shall we move on to plan B? Nadshiko-chan."
"Hai, we must."
Amu, Miki, and Ran could only stare at them like they were insane. They then watched as Nadeshiko reached into her school blazer and whip out three photos of Tadase.
The change was instant, Amu's confused look changed into love struck while Miki and Ran figured out what this so called "plan B" was. Nadeshiko and Temari could only giggle at Amu's face.

It was now a couple of hours since school had ended and a girl with long pink hair with two floating charas were making their way home. After school Sakura and her charas went to a nearby mall to get some things to help make Hinata, Ino, and the unborn egg to be more comfortable in Sakura's house. Hinata and Ino were both quite please with the cute little doll beds and silverware they got from a little girls store that sold doll accessories. Sakura on the other hand was thinking of the money that she had spent today and how much she would have left to keep her going for the rest of the month before she had to go and get some more.
"Sakura-chan, we didn't spend all your money right?" Hinata asked, once again.
"Oi, chill Hina-chan. Forehead said before that we didn't." Ino said with a big smile on her small chara face. Hinata could only look at her before turning to look at Sakura who had a reassuring smile on her face.
"It's okay to worry Hina-chan. We didn't spend as much as you think and besides I can always go back to work at the ice cream shack." Sakura told her.
Hinata could only smile a little bit before focusing her attention on the sidewalk that Sakura was currently walking on while her and Ino floated above.
Ino hummed a small tune while swaying her hips here and there. Hinata kept fiddleing with her fingers but held a small smile while listening to Ino's tune. Sakura had her hands in her blazer pockets with the bags for her charas smacking her left and right thighs. She kept tracing the humpty sword inside, her mind wondering.
"The Humpty Lock is clashing with the Humpty Key, Guardian."
Sakura stopped at once in her short strides home and grabbed the humpty sword in her right blazer pocket and pulled it out. Once out to be seen by eyes, the humpty sword was producing the same red glow that appeared last night in her room. Ino and Hinata looked at the sword with fascination before turning their eyes to Sakura.
Sakura stared at the sword for a good while before looking up at Ino's baby blue and Hinata's pearly white eyes. She watched as their eyes turn from fascination to determination. Sakura could only smirk before saying, "Let's save Amu."
Hinata and Ino could only nod before floating after the now sprinting Sakura who quickly did a U-turn.

E-Embryo? What is that?
Amu could only stare in question at the boy known as Ikuto, totally forgetting the fact that she lay on the ground trapped under him. Ran and Miki could only stare with surprised looks at scene in front of them, their third sister quickly forgotten on the floor.
Amu continued to stare before asking what was on her mind.
"What is the Embryo?"
Ikuto only stared at Amu with a daze; he tilted his head to the right and gave a small smirk at her. This made Amu blush like a tomato. He continued to smirk at her even when the door was pushed aside by Nadeshiko who had the bowl of fruit in her hands.
"I have th- Get away from her, you cat!" and with that said, a small battle between Ikuto and Nadeshiko took place inside the small culinary class. Amu could only stare as Nadeshiko turned from the sweet caring person that she had seen all afternoon to a crazy person now with some type of staff with a blade at the end swinging it around after Ikuto. But Ikuto was gracefully dodging every attack; it was interesting to watch really.
"Amu-chan!"
Amu quickly turned her head to see Ran trying to save the tart that Nadeshiko and she had made for the past hour. It was on the edge of the counter and because of all the movement going on from Nadeshiko and Ikuto. It was about to tip over and fall to the floor. Quickly Amu jumped toward the tart to try and save it but it she slid a couple of inches out of its reach once it hit the floor. Amu could only stare in shock while everyone else looked on as well. Soon Amu's eyes started to water and Nadeshiko was about to go and comfort her when the green egg that was forgotten before the small battle, started to roll then bounce before speaking. "Don't worry, Amu-chan!"
The egg soon started to hatch and out came a little chara that was dressed in a green dress and a light green apron on top of dress. She wore green ballet flats and a cute hat on her curly pigtails. She also held a small whisk in her hand.
"Don't worry Amu-chan, we can fix it together." The green chara said with a big smile on her face.

Sakura quickly skidded to a stop at the schools front gates. Immediately she starts to look for Amu while Ino and Hinata finally caught up to her. They flew to her shoulders, slightly out of breath from trying to keep up with the pinkette. When they got themselves together, Sakura started to make her way to the front doors of the school.
"The Humpty Lock is safe, The Humpty Key has left."
Sakura stopped her stride once again. She looked up at the classroom that she knew that held Amu and her charas. Hinata and Ino looked confused but waited patiently for an explanation. Sakura then closed her eyes and gave a loud sigh before opening them and turning to Hinata and Ino. The Humpty Sword stopped its red glowing in her right hand.
"We are too late, Amu doesn't need our help anymore."
Ino and Hinata watched as Sakura's eyes turned blank and watched as she spun on her heel and head in the direction of home. Ino signaled for Hinata to follow Sakura while she went to check on Amu. Quickly Hinata nodded her head in agreement and flew after Sakura's retreating back and Ino flew to the window that could allow her a visual of Amu.
Once Ino peaked in, she saw a happy Amu with Nadeshiko and not three but four charas floating around them. Ino did a quick scan of the room for anything evil like before deeming everyone was safe and flew back to Sakura and Hinata.

Sakura slid into bed with a daze. Hinata and Ino had fallen a sleep already in their new beds with a content smile on their faces. Their unborn sister was in her bed too after making sure that the egg wasn't going to roll out anytime during the night. Sakura turned her head to her charas and gave them a smile before turning and facing the window that allowed her to see the bright full moon out side. It was really beautiful to look at. Slowly Sakura's eyes started to close. Shielding her view of the moon.
I won't be late next time, Amu. I promise.
Sakura's third egg started to wiggle in its green bed, before it started to hatch. Dark brown eyes peeked through, looking at her sisters content smiles then over to her masters back that seemed tense. Slowly the chara started to climb out of her egg, so she could float freely from the cramped place she had been in. Popping some muscles the chara did a 360 turn to see her surroundings. The chara then flew over to the window that allowed the light from the moon be the only light in the dark room. Once the chara landed on the sill of the window, she walked closer to the window to put her little hand on it and get a better view of the city but stopped once she saw her reflection in the window. She could see the she wore burgundy Chinese pants that came to her shins with ninja sandals and a white Chinese long shirt that was outlined burgundy. Her dark brown hair was put up in two buns on top of her head with bangs framing her eyes. She also wore black fingerless gloves on her hands and a black headband on her headband that had shurikans etched onto it.
She smiled into her reflection before turning to Sakura and giving her a bow and floated over to her bed. Pushing her hatched egg over to the side, she then climbed in and pulled the green covers up and over her shoulders. She closed her eyes with a small smile on her face. She too drifted off to sleep like her master and her sisters.
