Blazerules34: Here's another chapter of Guardian Miko! Woo-hoo! So, um, yeah. Here we go!
~Kagome's POV~
After school, I took Amu home in our limo. She chatted with me, glad to be rid of the 'Cool and Spicy' personality. She talked with Sesshomaru too. She seemed interested in his work. After we dropped Amu off, Sesshomaru and I headed to the grocery store. Well, I shopped, and Sesshomaru waited in the car.
I got some Macaroni shells, some cheese, and ingredients for my famous triple chocolate cake. I got some gum for Tani and I, and some candy bars for Tani, my cake, and some for Amu and I. I grabbed some yogurt and milk, and ice cream. Then I left and loaded up the car.
When we got home, I put all the food up, and went upstairs to do my homework. Thank God this work was easier then algebra. I finished it in a minute or two, than went downstairs to make my cake. As I finished drizzling on the melted chocolate, I let the cake cool before I put on the final stuff.
While my cake cooled, my family and I ate dinner. Dinner consisted of potatoes with cheese on them, steak, and some broccoli. While we ate, we watched T.V. It was some fortune teller show. I wasn't paying attention till the fortune teller shouted out at us.
"There's a guardian spirit behind you! "A woman shouted. I jumped a little, not really expecting it. "Who's that? "I asked Sesshomaru curiously while Tani eyed the woman fearfully. "That's right. No matter who they are, every human has a guardian spirit protecting them. "The woman said again.
"She looks stupid. "I deadpanned. Tani laughed, as did Rin. "She's a fortune-teller named Saeki Nobuko. Her level of spiritual seeing is actually lower than the average human. It's because of her job. "Sesshomaru explained. "Psh. Guardian spirits don't exist. That's just stupid. "I muttered and glared at the screen.
"Those who call them stupid will die. "Nobuko said, as if she was talking to me. "That's because I am. "Nobuko said, looking right at me. "This is stupid. "I muttered, noticing Sesshomaru watching me. I changed the channel to Cake Boss.
After dinner, I chopped up pieces of Reese's Cups, Hershey's bars, and M&M's. Tani came over and helped me chop, while I told her where to put the M&M's. When she finished, I drizzled another helping of melted chocolate, and did the same when she finished putting on the other candies. After I finished, I said good night, hid the cake from Sesshomaru, and went upstairs to take a bath.
After my bath, I put on a tank top and some pajama shorts and thought about what the fortune-teller said. The real me…I lost so much confidence in myself. More than I even had in the first place. Maybe I shouldn't have made fun of those guardian spirit things. I need new courage. I went outside and stood on my balcony. I crouched down, and prayed.
Guardian spirits, if you actually exist, please forgive me for calling you stupid. I wish to be reborn. If you can help me regain my confidence, I would ever be thankful. Uh…amen?
~The Next Morning~
"Uh…I said I wanted to be reborn, not to give birth…!"I muttered to myself, bracing myself to touch the closest one. There were four eggs. One was orange, and had a pattern of purple flames on it. The second one had pictures of dog bodies, with cat ears and tails on it, if that makes sense. The third was black with snowflakes on it. The fourth one, the closest to me, had a yellow background and angel wings on it. It also had music notes and figures of people dancing on it.
Maybe it's a prank Tani set up. But Tani isn't that kind of girl. She's definitely her mother's girl. I'd just have to find out when I got down there.
I grabbed a black skirt the same length as the school on, a neon green tube-top, and some black boots. I grabbed my blue hoodie jacket, the eggs, which I gently laid in my bag, and ran downstairs for breakfast.
Rin sat a plate in front of me. It had eggs and bacon on it. I swallowed in the irony. "Um, Rin, I'm not hungry…I'll just eat a banana. "I said to her. She nodded, and grabbed a banana for me. I ate it, and set out for school. My phone suddenly rang.
"Been to hell
I can show you the devil
Self to self
Can't hold yourself together"
I blushed and opened the phone. "Kagome, you forgot your lunch. "Sesshomaru said. "Ok, I'll just eat lunch at school. Bye, Sesshy. "I hung up on him, giggling.
I hurried to school, and caught up to Amu in the school gates. "Amu! "I called, and she turned around. Suddenly, my phone rang again, and I blushed madly.
"Been to hell
I can show you the devil
Self to self
Can't hold yourself together"
"Really, Sesshy? I just got in the school grounds! Do you know what your ringtone is on my phone? "I growled into the phone, only to hear female laughter. "I know very well what your ringtone is for Sesshy. And, you know, it's actually true. "Rin giggled and I laughed, shocked at the truth of it.. "I'm going to drop off your lunch later, ok? "Rin said. "Alright, goodbye Rin. "I hung up, only to see everyone staring at me. I waved them off.
"What was that? "Amu laughed at me. "My brothers ringtone. "I answered as seriously as I could, but then gave up and laughed. Amu laughed with me.
Then, suddenly, two girls began screeching something. "Ah! It's the Royal Guardians! They're as magnificent as ever. "They sighed together. "You both probably haven't of heard the royal guardians because your new. They are a group like a student council, and they listen to our concerns. They also look after our privacy! "The girls said.
"The Kings Chair: Hotori Tadase-sama. The Queens Chair: Fujisaki Nadeshiko-sama. The Jacks Chair: Soma Kukai-sama. The Ace's Chair: Yuiki Yaya-sama. They even have a royal garden to have tea parties in! And, last but not least, they have a cape only they can wear! It's just all so royal! "The girls squealed together.
I noticed Amu looking at Tadase-sama and blushing. Then she glanced at me and whispered "The cape is so horrible…"I nodded in agreement. We thanked the girls, and continued on walking. Something moved in my bag, as if it was trying to escape.
I glanced down, trying to hold it in, and noticed Amu doing the same. What is going on here? I didn't see Tadase walk over to us, and his hands grabbed both of our shoulders. I turned around, shocked.
"Um…are you…"He began, but Amu knocked his hand off. "Don't touch me like that, shrimp. "Amu glared at him. Then she walked away. "I'm sorry. She doesn't mean it! "I called to him as I chased after Amu. And when I found her, all I could think was that the day could only get worse for poor Amu.
We had an assembly today. Something about a survey, I think. Then there was this voice, right in the middle of the ceremony.
Then why don't you just change? From a disobedient girl, to an obedient girl!
There was this pop, and I looked up to see Amu's pin thing change into a heart. That makes no sense whatsoever…
"Now, if anyone has an opinion, please speak now. "Tadase said, looking out at us all. Amu stood up. "Actually prince I like you! "She shouted and I gasped. "I'm sorry, we are at an assembly. Please keep those kinds of opinions to yourself till later. And I already like someone. I'm sorry. "Tadase said, looking at me. Amu looked shocked for a second, than ran away.
"You're a jerk, you idiot. "I said coldly, hearing everyone gasp. I tore away from the room and ran to find Amu. If that happened to me, I'd just want to crawl in a hole and-what? A hole? I prepared myself for the impact, but it didn't hurt. The ground was soft. I opened my eyes, and saw I was straddling a boy, one that I'd seen around town before.
"Mm, I was having such a good dream. Hmm? You have that birth scent around you. Do you have a character? "He asked me, and I cocked my head to the side. "I guess not. Now, where would you put something precious? "He asked himself. His hand crept down my side.
"No! Not another Miroku! "I screamed. "Back off, you son of a bitch! Bastard! Damn it! "I shouted at him, but he only smirked in response. He found my dog and cat patterned egg. He grabbed it and held it above his head. I knew I could get it, so I prepared myself to jump. But a bulldozer with dirt came above us to fill the hole. Was this the end? Was this going to be how I died?
The blue-haired boy jumped out of the hole, but my egg came back to me. "What? I just got that! "The boy complained. "Kagome! What are you doing? Leap!" Leap? Then, my egg cracked.
Out emerged a small figure. She had black hair, with black dog ears and a black cat tail. She had on a black tube top and a neon green skirt with fish-netting down to her boots. Her eyes were green.
"From a girl who can't leap, to a girl who can! Run! Jump! Leap! "The supernatural thing shouted, and doggie ears and a cat tail appeared. I got cat paw gloves on my hands. I loved the outfit. I leaped up, right as the dirt began cascading down. Fortunately, I made it out with only a scratch on my cheek. Unfortunately, I landed on an electrical line.
"Who are you? "I asked the character. "My name is Neyasha. I am a Shugo chara. Like a guardian spirit. You wished to be reborn with confidence, and I'm here to help you with that. "Neyasha said. "Oh. Thanks for explaining. "I said, smiling at her. But, sadly, blue boy was still here.
He jumped up as well, watching me with respect? Whatever, I needed to beat the punk up. Again, I was glad Sesshomaru had trained me. He came at me at a slow respect. "Well, a fellow cat. How strange. "He said. "So, your name is Kagome? Pretty name. Mines Ikuto. Be careful, Kagome, you're on an electrical line. "He leered at me. "I know that, bastard! "I snarled and lunged at him, and kicked his chest and jumped to a wall to look for Amu.
I eventually found Amu standing on top of an unfinished twelve story building. She was clutching a pole for her life. I found that amusing, but now wasn't the time to laugh. I jumped up and landed next to her. She looked at me in shock and hope. But, Ikuto had followed me. He jumped to our opposite side, and I tensed to fight him. Kagome glanced back at Amu. "Cat ears? "She asked, with a 'WTF' face on. "I know, right? "I whispered to her, and she laughed in spite of the situation. "You have the birth scent too. "He said, looking at her thoughtfully. Until then, I hadn't noticed Amu's new character.
She had pink hair like Amu, with a ponytail. She had a visor with a heart on it. Her eyes were pink. She had on a pink frilly shirt that ended on her belly, and a skirt. She smiled at me.
"Be careful you two, he has that birth smell t-"Ikuto flicked her away. "Hey! "Amu shouted. Ikuto jumped over me, landing behind Amu. "Don't touch me, pervert! "She screamed, and I lunged forward. But Ikuto was already gone, and he had Amu's other two eggs. "Come on, Ikuto lets go. We did well today. "A cat-like character said. I fell in love with him immediately.
He had blue hair and blue eyes like Ikuto. His hands were cat paws, and he had cat ears. He had a cross necklace. He was adorable!
But that was not the matter at hand. Suddenly, Amu pushed past me, reaching for her eggs. Ikuto yanked his hand up, and Amu grabbed at it, causing the eggs to fall over the side of the building. Amu went after them, grabbing at them and holding them close.
AMU! "I screamed, and lunged after her.
~Normal POV~
Ikuto stared at the two girls falling together. Kagome had caught up to Amu, and pulled the girl into her arms so she would get the full impact of the hit. "They fell, nya. "Yoru said, stating the obvious. But, Kagome reached her hand up, and the locket Yoru had started glowing, then some random strange force yanked it out of his greedy little paws. "Nya? "Yoru cried.
Kagome and Amu were a bit shocked as a pink and purple light engulfed the two girls. There were stars, but then a white light flashed.
A bit away, Tadase watched as the white light flashed, shocked. "They already know how to do a Chara Nari? "He asked, smiling through his shock.
When Kagome opened her eyes again, she noticed far below her was the building she had just jumped off of. "Huh?" Kagome asked, but she was smiling. Her clothes had changed as well.
Her black cat tail and black dog ears were back. Her eyes had turned green. Her clothes had changed to match Neyasha's. Except, her fish netting was black and she had combat boots to her mid-thigh. Kagome looked around, searching for Amu.
Amu was off to her left. She had her hair up in a ponytail, with a visor on her hair. Her shirt ended in tiny frills on her stomach. She had on a tutu-like skirt. She was smiling and laughing and floating around.
"Great job Kagome! A Chara Nari right off the bat!" Neyasha's voice said, sounding like it was inside of me. That's because I am, Kagome…"Her voice said again, sighing. "So what is this? What's a Chara Nari? "I asked, curious. "It's when you use 120% of your chara's power. "Neyasha said. "Oh, ok. That works. "I muttered, and flew around to catch up to Amu.
We were giggling and laughing when reality suddenly came crashing down on Amu."We shouldn't be up here! This is insane! "Amu cried, then tried to swim down. "Amu! Stop, you got to believe in yourself or you'll-"There was a pop, and Amu's chara, who I learned later on was Ran, appeared and Amu was falling.
"Fall. "Ran finished, and flew after Amu. "Amu-chan! You have to believe in yourself! "Ran cried and Kagome speeded up, knowing she'd be too late. But, Amu's death was not meant to be. A giant, yellow, crown-shaped thing caught her, and then disappeared. In its place stood Tadase, who had a crown and a scepter. He also had caught Amu, who was looking quite stunned.
Kagome sighed in relief. She landed nearby, as Ikuto jumped down from the building, on to a crane. "It is against the rules to interfere with newborns, you thieving cat! "Tadase shouted. "Humph, nice crown, kiddie king. I'll be taking those girls eggs now. "Ikuto said and lunged forward, with a giant, transparent, cat paw. "Holy Crown! "Tadase shouted, and the crown thing appeared, protecting us from the cat's attack.
When the paw disappeared, the cat was gone. "That won't be the last of him. Here, "Tadase said, giving Amu a handkerchief. He wiped her face a bit, then stood up and started walking away. "I've got to get back to school. Goodbye! "He waved. "Wait! What about this? "I called, indicating the locket, but he was gone.
Amu started walking home after she said goodbye to me, arguing with her chara Ran.
"I wanna go home. "I sighed and started trudging home.
