-NORMAL POV-

"Where are they?" Ran asked desperately. They had already searched everywhere they could think of. Alleyways, Amu's house, the school grounds, Ikuto's house, the park, and on the hillside next to the amusement park. Right now they had split up to search the amusement park itself. Ran flew towards the tree they had agreed to meet up in and sighed as she sat down. In no time Su and Miki joined her.

"Well?" Ran asked.

"No luck desu." Su said shaking her head.

"Nowhere." Miki said.

They all sighed and laid back about to give up.

"Where in the world could they be?" Miki asked.

"I don't know." A voice said.

"Why is it they always find us, but when we need their help we can't find them?" Miki continued.

"What do you need our help for nya?" The voice said again.

"Wait a second..." Miki said sitting up. Ran and Su did the same. They all looked around, but couldn't find where the voice was coming from.

"Where is that voice coming from?" Ran asked as she and Su stood up.

"I don't know." Miki said finally standing up.

"Looking for me nya?" A neko looking shugo chara asked suddenly appearing right infront of Miki. She took a step back and fell of teh branch they had all been standing on.

"Aaahh!" Miki screamed as she fellt owards the ground.

"Miki!" Ran and Su yelled in unison.

The neko looking chara flew down and caught Miki before she fell toof ar. He floated back up to the branch carrying her bridal style. He set her down, then settled himself ont eh branch above. When all three grils had calmed downt hey turned to look at the neko chara with a black shirt with a white cross on it, and black shorts. A purple-blue tail, paws, and hair.

"Yoru!" They all yelled in unison. Yoru just twitched his ears.

"Yoru, where's Ikuto?" Miki asked.

"Don't I get a thank you for saving you nya?" Yoru asked cracking open one eye to look at the blue chara before him. He smield at the blush on her face.

"Now isn't the time for that! Amu's in trouble and we need Ikuto's help!" Ran exclaimed. That got Yoru's attention.

"Why? What happened nya?" He asked concerned. he knew his beared loved the pink haired girl and would be upset if anything happened to her.

"It's a long story and we don't have time to tell you when we could be finding Ikuto!" Ran yelled.

"Alright, alright. Tell me on the way nya." Yoru said leading the way towards his bearer. The girls followed and Miki started filling him in on what happened.

"Went back into her egg? Is she alright nya?"

"For now, but if we take too long she might become an X-egg desu." Su said.

"And none of us want to fight our sister." Ran said solemy.

"Enough talking! Let's hurry up and get to Ikuto!" Miki yelled.

"Right." Ran, Su, and Yoru said in unison.

Yoru led the way tot he bridge acrossf rom Amu's house and ducked underneath it. There with his eyes closed was Ikuto.

"Ikuto! Ikuto nya!" Yoru yelled, but got no response. They flew down right next to the sleeping teenager and Yoru tried again.

"Ikuto! Ikuto wake up nya!" Yoru yelled, but still nothing. Miki had lost her patience.

"Damn it Ikuto wake up! Amu needs your help!" She screamed as loud as she could. Which was surprisingly louder thant Ran's cheers. Ikuto's eyes shot open and he sat up.

"Amu? What's wrong with her?" He asked rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"There's no time to explain. Just Character change with yoru and follow us. We'll fill you in on the way." Miki said flying towards teh school. Ikuto turned to look at Yoru and nodded. He transformed into Black Lynx and followed after Miki, Ran, and Su. They filled him in on the way.

"That puny king said what to Amu!" Ikuto yelled.

"Yeah, and now she thinks she's destined to be alone and Dai got forced back into her egg. We don't know what to do, or who might be next." Miki explained.

"I'll help any way I can." Ikuto said as they jumped onto the roof of the school. When they landed they saw a very depressed Amu and a very familiar looking X-egg.

-IKUTO'S POV-

When I saw Amu sitting with her head on her knees my heart clenched.

'I'm going to beat the living shit out of that wannabe king.'

'Ikuto, focu nya!' Yoru siad from inside my heart.

'Sorry.'

"Amu!" All three of her charas screamed. I watched as the pink one and the blue one tried to go to Amu, but got blocked by the X-egg. It knocked themb ack with a wave of black energy.

'Miki!' Yoru yelled.

'Calm down Yoru, see she's fine.' I said to my chara and we both looked to see the blue chara sit up and look around.

"Oh Dai, we were too late desu." The green chara said as she flew towards the X-egg. I heard the egg whisper something before it attacked the green chara.

"Su!" Miki yelled.

I saw Su get knocked against the wall and she fell to the ground unconcious.

"Aaahh!"

I looked to see Miki being forced back into her egg.

'Miki! Ikuto do something nya.'

'What? What can I do?' I asked helpless.

That's when I heard the X-egg say something.

"No one...Why will no one love me?"

'So that's it. She feels like no one loves her, but why? Doesn't she know all her friends love her?"

That's when I heard a second voice. I turned to see that miki's egg had turned into an X-egg as well.

"Tadase was right...They only hung out with me because I had so many charas."

Both X-eggs attacke me then. I jumped out of the way and was about to slash them when Yoru stopped me.

'Ikuto no! They are still Amu's charas nya.'

He was right. I jumped out of the way again as one shot forward trying to him me.

'Okay then, what do you want me to do?'

'Show her she's loved nya.'

'Easier said than done.'

I said dodging another attack.

'Why nya? You already love her, just let her know nya.'

I sighed, but Yoru had a point. If Amu's eggs became like this because of what Tadase said then knowing she's loved, by at least one person, should help. I jumped over the two turned X-eggs and landed next to Amu.

"Amu."

No answer.

"Amu, look at me." I pleaded, but still nothing.

'Now what?'

'I don't know, think of something nya.'

'Fine.'

I gently grabbed Amu's face and turned it towards me. I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers. Trying to silently tell her how I felt about her. How I've felt bout her since she saved me from Easter. I saw her honey colored eyes widen before slowly closing. Her arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer and she kissed me back.

-AMU'S POV-

When I felt something soft and warm pressed against my lips I woke up from my depressed state and saw that the soft and warm thing pressed against my lips was Ikuto. He was kissing me. For some reason thinking that made my heart skip a beat and I automatically closed my eyes, wrapped my arms around his neck, and kissed him back. I felt his tounge glide across my bottom lip begging for access and I almost gave it to him before I came back to my senses and realized I was kissing Ikuto. I quickly pulled back, muttering an apology.

"S-Sorry."

Ikuto pulled back with a smile and what looked like a blush on his face. I looked around and saw Su on the ground next to the wall, Ran on the ground across the roof, and two X-eggs floating towards the ground. They looked oddly familiar. That's when I realized Dai and Miki were missing.

"Dai! Miki!"

I yelled pushing past Ikuto and going towards the docile X-eggs. Ikuto grabbed my arm to stop me.

"Amu dont' they're-"

"They're my charas and my friends, I can't just leave them like that." I said as I pulled my arm from his grasp. I fell to my knees beside both eggs and I brought them to my chest.

"I'm so sorry guys. Please, come back to me." I pleades as tears filled my eyes once again. I felt them both wiggle in my arms and I let them go to see that their eggs had returned to normal. They both wiggled again before popping open and both Miki and Dai flew to me and hugged me.

"Guys, you're okay."

"Amu you're you again." Miki and Dai said in unison.

I nodded my head and they pulled back. Dai flew over to Su and woke her up, while Miki flew over to Ran who was waking up. I stood up and walked back over to Ikuto who had changed back into himself. I saw Yoru fly over towards Miki.

"Ummm...thanks Ikuto."

"For what?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"For helping me."

"No problem. I'll always be here for you when you need me." He said as he walked upt o me.

"But why'd you kiss me?" I asked with a blush.

"Because..." Ikuto said as he leaned closer. "I love you Amu." He whispered in my ear. My heart skipped a beat at those four words and for a plit second I almost believed themb efore I remembered who had said them.

"Don't joke around with something like that. I don't need you to say that to me out of pity." I said as tears started falling down my face. I didn't want any'ne pity, especially not Ikuto's. I didn't want to hear him say he loved me unless he meant it, but I knew he could never love me. To him I'm just a kid.

"Amu I didn't say it out of pity. I really do lo-"

"Goodbye Ikuto." I said pushing him away and character changing with Ran, then jumping off the roof of the school. I didn't stop until I got home. I changed back and locked my balcony window before crawling into my bed. None of my charas said anything, they just went into their eggs and went to sleep.

-NORMAL POV-

Amu slept from the time she got home until around six int he morning. Her mom had come up to her room to check on her twice before deciding to leave her be. amu turned over and felt something in her bed. She opened her eyes and pulled back the cover to see four eggs in her bed. She gasped and looked over to her chara egg case thinking maybe the girls had moved to sleep with her, but saw that the pink, blue, green, and yellow eggs with small crosses on them were still nestled in the carrying case. So these eggs had to be four different ones. Amu turned back to look at them and sighed.

'Great, like having four charas wasn't enough.'

Amu thought as she picked up the first one. It was warm, like Ran's had been. Amu noticed it was red and black with a crisscross pattern on the outside of the egg. Amu looked at the others and saw that they all had different patterns from her first four charas. The second and third of the new eggs had similar patterns, but were swapped. One had purple with white on top, while the other had white with purple on top. The last one was black with what looked to be tiny skull patterns on the outside.

"I wonder what kind of charas these will be? My shugo charas are supposed to be my would be self right? Do I really ahve so many would be selves?"

"You do?" A voice said from the egg Amu was holding.

"Aaahh!" Amu silently screamed and dropped the egg she had been holding. It rolled and sat up before rising intot he air before Amu's face and starting to crack. Then it popped open and out came a small girl with short, jet black hair cut to her shoulders like Ran's. She was wearing what looked to be black leather pants torn at both knees and a silver chain hanging down from her left side, a gray lonsleeve shirt and a black short sleeve shirt sporting a red A in a circle on the front. It looked a lot like the anarchy symcol. And she was wearing a pair of black sneakers.

"W-who are you?" Amu asked.

"Well considering you've been with my sisters for about four years now I'm sure I dont' have to explaina bout hwo we charas are your would be selves right?"

Amu just nodded.

"Okay, but seeing as how all eight of us were born I'd guess that your desired would be self has changed. Am I right?"

The little chara asked, Amu didn't know how to respond so she just nodded again.

"Right, wellt hen I guess I should introduce myself. The name's Zena, nice to finally meetcha Amu." The chara, Zena, said holding out her hand. Amu gently gook it and shook it.

"Nice to meet you."

Silence followed, then something Zena had said earlier popped to the front of Amu's mind.

"Wait a second, did you say all eight of you had bfinally been born?" Amu asked.

"Yeah, eight. Ran, Miki, Su, Dai, me, and the other three. I'll wait and let them introduce themselves. You are one of the very few bearers to ever awaken all of your dormant shugo charas."

"Dorman shugo charas?" Amu asked slightly confused.

"Yeah. Everybody has around five to eight charas within themselves." Zena said.

"Their would be selves." Amu added slowly starting to get it.

"Yeah. Most are only able to awaken one or two of their dormant shugo charas, but you were the destined bearer and were able to waken three." Zena explained.

"But I have four." Amu said confused.

"Dai was born because you were feeling lost being the only bearer with three charas."

"But then why were you four born? And why now?"

"We were born because your would be self has changed. As for why now, I'm guessing something that's recently happened in your life has changed what you want to become." Zena said flying down to sit on Amu's pillow. Amu opened her desk drawer and pulled out everything excpet for the cloth she kept in there. She picked up the other three eggs and placed them inside before closing it. Then she laid down next to Zena.

"If my would be slef has changed wouldn't that mean Ran and the others would go back?"

"Normally yes, but apparently your new would be slef still includes being helped by Ran and my other sisters." Zena explained with a yawn.

"Okay, I think I understand. But then who do I turn into when I character change with you?" Amu asked slightly curious.

"You'll just have to wait and find out." Zena said with a yawn. She flew over to the drawer, pulled it open, and nestled herslef betweent he two similar looking eggs. Her egg popped up and started closing around her.

"Where are you going?" Amu asked slightly worried she'd loose her new chara.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to sleep. We'll all still be here when you wake up for school." Zena said as her egg closed around her.

"When will the others hatch?" Amu asked stiffling a yawn of her own.

"When the time comes. Tomorrow, during lunch period go to the roof of the school. That's when I'll meet my other sisters."

"But..."

Amu never got a response. She sighed and rolled over onto her back and stared up at the ceiling.

'Four new charas. I wonder what they'll be like?'

With that Amu closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
