Well here is Amulet Clover. I really hope I didn't overdue Yaya's baby personality.
Amu roughly ran the brush through her cotton candy hair, taming it from the haystack look-alike that it always became when she woke up. She was running late, she was supposed to meet the other Guardians at Yaya's house. She knew it'd only be to help take care of the baby girl's little brother but that was okay.
Amu quickly pulled on a black clinging skirt that reached her knees and a sleeveless dark green shirt that was made of the same material as her skirt and on the right shoulder was tied in a bow. She wore her hair with the side on the side with the bow on her shirt and held with a green X clip. Her Humpty Lock was around her waist right beside her Egg Carrier Case. On her wrist were three silver bangles each and on her left ankle was a silver anklet with slightly heeled black sandals.
Running out she yelled a quick goodbye to her family and ran to Yaya's house. She luckily arrives on time, meeting up with Kukai and Nagi just as they turn onto the road that Yaya's house is on. Entering her home Amu smiles at Yaya before going over to check on the baby, she knew no one else would be much use to that. Kairi was too afraid to do anything with him, Rima, Nagihiko and Kukai were clueless when it came to this kind of stuff, Tadase would do a Character Change every time he held him and Yaya was sometimes mature enough to take care of him but only when there was no other choice while regressing even worse if there was anyone else around.
Su was made for this, and as such so was a part of Amu. Su was her heart, as Ran was her body, Miki her mind, and Diamond her soul. Entering Yaya's house everyone greeted each other. Checking on the baby they began the meeting.
"Well there hasn't been many X Eggs recently," Kairi sighed gently, "I've actually been able to focus on the other duties of Guardians."
"Yeah, everything has been a lot calmer lately." Amu agreed playing with a stray lock of hair, twisting it with her finger.
"So no one has anything to talk about?" Rima asked looking bored, "this isn't much of a meeting."
"I agree, Queen." Kairi nodded.
"Stay and play at Yaya's house though. It'll be boring without you guys." Yaya whined and everyone smiled good naturally at her.
"Okay, okay." Kukai said with a sigh, consenting for all of them.
"Yay!" Yaya cheered and began to run but tripped over an upturned corner of a throw rug and fell, scrapping her knee on the harsh fabric. Sitting up and looking at her pink knee Yaya began to cry. Everyone had turned to see her when they heard the bang and rushed over to her.
"What is it Ace?" Kairi asked, which only caused Yaya to cry more, she hated being called Ace.
Blinking Amu's green X clip turned into a green clover. Instantly her mothering instincts took over, never mind that technically Yaya was only a year younger than her. "Give her some room to breathe." She said gently pushing people from the crying girl. Pepe was crying as well, Su was holding Pepe and flew over to stand on Amu's shoulder as she comforted Pepe.
"Nagi-kun," she said pointing to him, "go get the first-aid kit from the bathroom." Then she turned to Kukai, "Kukai-kun, go get a wet towel." Nodding both boys went and did it, they were not good with crying females, even though Yaya cried a lot, and eagerly grasped for something to do that they knew would help. "Kairi-kun," she added pointing to him, "come hold Yaya's hand so she can squeeze when it hurts." She felt a bit bad for making Kairi do that but he was the calmest of the boys. The green haired man immediately went to do that as Amu patted Yaya's calf where her knee was injured.
Soon Kukai and Nagihiko returned holding out what she had sent them for. Nodding her thanks she took it from them and gently placed the rag on Yaya's knee, the coolness helping immediately. Once that was done she gently dabbed some antibacterial on it, causing Kairi to wince at Yaya's death grip on his hand, and placed a band-aid that was obviously meant for Yaya. It was blue with yellow ducks on it.
"There you go, good as new." Amu said with a smile as her green clover turned back into a green X clip and Su finally got Pepe to calm down.
"Thank you Amu-chi!" Yaya said jumping up to hug the pinkette. Amu let out a sigh and patted Yaya's hair.
Walking home Amu sighed, she didn't want to go home yet. It was so relaxing, plus right now she didn't have to have her Cool & Spicy personality out full force like she'd have to do at home. Blinking Amu suddenly stopped, hearing the melody of a violin.
Without even thinking she began running to the sound, her Charas easily following her. Amu never thought about running to the sound of Ikuto's violin, it was just instinct and she did it without even thinking. It was music that first brought her towards him, that even though he was horrible he somehow made such beautiful music. Though he wasn't horrible, he was a pervert, he teased her a lot and knew exactly how to get on her nerves but he was a good person.
Stopping when she finally saw him she couldn't help but gasp again. He looked so ethereal when he played, with the moon behind his silhouette and the stars as he seemed not to be aware of anything around him. She could see off to the side Yoru and Mamoru relaxing on the steps as Amu smiled and listened to the music.
Suddenly, without warning Ikuto turned to see her, his eyes flashing. "Stalking me, are you strawberry?" He asked teasingly and Amu blushed.
"N-no! Of course not! I just heard the music and came to hear it better." She said turning away from him, crossing her arms with a blush coming to her face. "Besides, even if I did-which I didn't!-you have no room to talk, I know that you were spying on me when Mamoru and Yoru came to do the transformations when I was at Yaya's house."
Ikuto didn't deny her claim, merely chuckled and having just put his violin away began walking towards her. "You didn't seem to mind," he said leaning down to be able to look her straight in the eye when she glanced up at him. Amu didn't reply, merely looked off to the side, biting her lip, Ikuto was confused, she usually didn't take on that pensive face around him-around him she wasn't afraid to tell him what she was thinking and feeling.
"Why do you though?" She asked, glancing up at him with her wide honey-gold eyes before glancing to the side. "Why do you tease me all the time? And snuggle against me and...why do you sometimes kiss me?" She asked before glancing up into his eyes.
She didn't know it but this was a test. Some part of her, buried deep, was protecting her. If he teased her now she'd push him away, but he didn't do that. She was seriously asking him about his feelings for her and he was going to be truthful. This may be his only chance.
"That depends on what your talking about." Ikuto said and Amu started to pull back from him but he caught her face in his hands, cupping her cheeks gently but still enough to hold her still. He looked into her eyes, allowing the mask he often wore to crumble, Amu deserved more than some mask he wore to hide his emotions. He wouldn't let just anyone see the real him, but Amu wasn't just anyone.
She was everything.
"I follow you because I worry about you. Every second your out of my sight I'm scared that you'll be hurt. The world isn't a nice place and I want to protect you from it. I tease you because your blush is so adorable that I can't help myself, your fun to tease and that is how I show my affection. It might be genetic? From what I remember of my father he would always tease my mom, making her blush." He added as Amu's eyes widened, he didn't talk about his father very much. She never pushed the issue, figuring he'd tell her if he wanted to.
Ikuto gently leaned down to nuzzle his face affectionately into her hair, "I snuggle, as you call it, you because your so warm and soft. I feel like I'm home when I'm against you, you warm all of me, not just the outside." He whispered pulling away to look deeply into her eyes. "And I kiss you because I want to kiss you-I want to spend forever kissing you, kissing every inch of you." He added kissing her forehead, "but I'm content to only kiss you where you allow-I'd be content with only kissing your forehead and cheeks and simply holding you for eternity." Ikuto confessed all with a sighing.
"There are parts of me I don't let just anybody see, sides of me that I'll only show to you. There are so many that I'll only ever allow you to see." He promised, his thumbs had without his knowledge began to rub against her cheeks lightly, "even if," he paused and for a moment hurt flashed in his eyes, "even if one day you stop showing different sides of yourself to me. Even if one day you decide you'd rather show them only to someone else."
Ikuto's hands moved down to gently hold her neck as he sighed, looking at her. Amu bit her lip, his confession was so hear wrenching and so passionate. She didn't think that anyone could make her heart beat so fast like that. She could feel it beating a tattoo in her chest, I-ku-to, I-ku-to, I-ku-to. Again and again, had it always beaten this way? No, she knew it didn't, then when did it start? When Nikaidou had Miki, Ran, and Su and had attacked her. He had held her in his arms, keeping her safe and when she tried to run he had hold her back, telling her she'd only get hurt. That was when it started, but perhaps that was only when she started to notice it slightly. She was the holder of the Humpty Lock and he was the holder of the Dumpty Key, those artifacts weren't exactly normal. She felt a...pull to him. Ever since she fell on him and his only response was to comment that he had been having a good dream. Than he had shown up, wanting Su's Egg and had fallen on her, brought her the snacks as a form of apology, and even when he smashed that poor boys Egg she still thought of him. From the first time she saw him, when she just saw him around town even before she fell into the hole, she had been interested. And then she stared caring.
Maybe, perhaps, she was in love. But there was no need to rush that. He said he was content just for hugs and a kiss on the cheek forever. She was sure, but she didn't want to confess to him just because he confessed. Her confession would be special to, she'd make it special for him. However she had to tell him part of it, he had to know that she cared.
"Do you want to know a secret Ikuto?" Amu asked glancing up at him with a blush, Ikuto looked surprised but merely nodded. "The reason I've helped you, the reason that no matter what you do I keep coming back, why no matter how much you tease me and get me angry I still care." Amu said blushing before glancing up at him. "I care for you," She whispered blushing darkly as Ikuto smiled gently and kissed her forehead.
"I care for you to, I love you." He whispered and Amu gasped, looking up at him. "Shh, you don't have to say anything." He added placing two fingers on her lips to silence her, he didn't want her to feel pushed into saying she loved him back, and he didn't want to hear a rejection. "Come on, let's go somewhere." He said, taking her hand and dragging her along. However they were just stepping out of the alleyway and looked up to see Nikaidou.
"Well I'll be, if it isn't Mr. Black Cat and Himamori-san." He said and Amu gritted her teeth. How many times did she have to tell him it was Hinamouri?
"SENSI!" Su said happily flying over quickly to hug the man's cheek.
"Su?" The surprised teacher asked before hugging her. "Cant' I keep her?" He asked Amu who sweat dropped.
"I said no." She said with a sigh, she knew he was kidding.
Mamoru had never seen Nikaidou before and was shocked to see Su hugging him. Didn't Amu say that Su liked him, he was so sure that she did but he wondered now. He felt hurt but also fiercely protective. The man with the long ginger hair and glasses patted her head. Turning Su smiled brightly at all of them before flying back over to them, smiling as the man went his own way with a teasing smile and telling Ikuto to "behave" and Amu "don't do anything I wouldn't." Leaving Amu blushing deeply.
As Ikuto pulled her along, chuckling at her and teasing her and their Charas following Mamoru stayed a bit back. Noticing Su went over to him to see what was wrong.
"What's the matter? Desu?" Su asked floating beside him as Mamoru glanced at her. Before she could do anything Mamoru pulled her to him and into his chest. Wrapping his arms tightly around her he nuzzled her neck.
"Mine." Was all he said, understanding what he meant Su hugged him back, blushing.
Amu sighed gently entering her home, rubbing her eyes slightly as she smiled at her little sister. Ami jumped on Amu, hugging her leg. "Onee-chan!" Ami cried, "I'm hungry!" She complained.
"Are you?" Amu asked, "why didn't Mama make you something?" She asked confused heading to the kitchen with Ami on her heels.
"Mama's working on her magazine." Ami complained as Amu pulled out some ingredients. "She forgot about Ami's lunch Onee-chan." Ami complained as Amu sweat dropped.
"No, she didn't." Amu corrected, "you were supposed to go with Papa and he'd pick you up a bonton box." The older sister sighed, her Cool & Spicy character coming through. "I'll make you something." She added pulling out some ingredients.
Pulling out she started to chop some vegetables and cheese, mixing eggs to make an omelet. Frying some rice Amu added some octopus shaped hot dog and was finished within thirty minutes. Dishing the food she put it down in front of Ami and herself to have some.
"This is great!" Ami said with a laugh and Amu smiled slightly at her little sister. "Onee-chan?" Ami said looking up at her big sister with bright brown eyes. Amu had a sense of foreboding. She was just about to gather the plates and clean everything up.
"Yes?" She asked, worried of what Ami might want.
"Can you do the becoming the pretty characters!" Ami asked with a laugh and Amu looked at her younger sister with wide eyes. No, she just got her friends to leave her alone about Transformations and now Ami was going to start? But at least the transformation would be her own Charas but what if her parents saw? They might not be able to see the Charas but they'd be able to see her.
"Go ahead," Diamond said happily, becoming the favorite of Ami instantly. "Transform with Su and then you can clean up." She suggested and Amu sighed.
"I guess that'll work." Amu said looking at Su who smiled and entered Amu's heart.
Amu was in a maid inspired outfit, a green dress with a balloon skirt with a white frill along the hem and puffed sleeves. She wears a white collar that holds her Humpty Lock that shines with green light and apron, the apron having extended flower sleeves. Though it was tied in the back in the front along the waist it had two bows the apron goes out because of the balloon skirt of her dress flowering slightly. She wears gloves that match her apron, they only reach her wrist and are flowered. She wears a white headdress with a green clover attached and her hair in messy pigtails with green ribbons in bows. She wears thigh high socks that are flowered and match her apron and thick soled green ballet shoes with a slight heel and are tied in the back with green ribbon.
"Amulet Clover!" Amu lightly said in an almost song like voice and was echoed by Su.
"Yay!" Ami cheered clapping her hands as Amu sighed and started cleaning. In the end the kitchen, living room, Ami and her own room nearly sparkled they were so clean. Once the transformation was undone Amu looked at Su.
"Got a bit carried away, didn't you?"
"I'd say." Miki agreed.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself~desu."
I'm sorry I haven't updated in awhile. To make it up to you this chapter is really long. I hope you forgive me. :)
