4everhere: Yeah I know that I'm writing other stories, but I couldn't help but write another one. :p

Amu: Another one?

Ikuto: Another?

4everhere: Yes another and this one isn't souls or anything, but yes it will have a lemon like my other story. Just saying for you people who are reading Unisoul yes there will be a lemon!

Ikuto:Then I'm all for it!

Amu: 0.0 *blushes* w-what?

4everhere: Do the disclaimer Ikuto!

Ikuto: 4everhere does not own Shugo Chara! If she did it would be a rated M.

4everhere: On with the new story! :D Oh and just saying the story takes place around the time of war and everything. I know there are many, but I mean the time when girls only wore dresses and guys (of course) wore pants and other outfits. XD This is the time when they would call out the men from every family. :3 I got this idea thinking of cross dressing. Hope you enjoy and Amu is older in this story. So is Ikuto and everyone, but just by a bit. Amu: 19 Ikuto: 22 and everyone else is the same ages. Boys are 22 and Girls are 19. Except Ami she's 5 and Amu's parents of course, and also saying there are going to be MANY time skips. Sorry but I need to get to the point.

It's hard to believe we met like this~ chapter 1 Normal P.O.V

Amu was dreaming peacefully when her mother knocked (more like banged) on the door. "Amu get up! We have to find you a job remember?" Amu groaned and turned around in her bed. She covered herself with the wool blanket that helped block her mother's shouts. She didn't want to wakeup from the dream. It was a dream of her on a grass area. She was in a tent with a mysterious man, but all she knew is that this was the guy. The one who would love her for her and not any other man. "AMU IF YOU DON'T GET UP I WON'T LET YOU OUT OF THIS HOUSE FOR A WEEK!"

Now that woke her up. She quickly got off the comfy bed, and stood up. "I'm going mother!" She always called her mom mother when she got her angry. She went to her closet and looked for a suitable dress to wear. She found a light pink dress with a floral pattern down the hem.

Once she finished combing her strawberry pink hair back, she went to meet her mom down stairs. The smell of fresh eggs and orange juice was everywhere. It just made Amu's poor stomach grumble with hunger. She walked to the table where her sister, Ami, was playing with her crispy bacon as if it were a airplane.

"So you finally got up Amu. Good. We need to find you a job or do you want to be a housewife after all~?" Amu wrinkled her nose in disgust. There was no way she would do that. She could barely sew anything, and when it came to cooking... it's best if you don't ask.

"No mom. You know I would never choose being a housewife." She stuck her tounge out and shivered to show that even the mere image of her cooking for her lazy ass husband was a hell no. Amu's mom sighed. She wanted Amu to be a housewife like herself. She wanted to have grand children before she hit fifty. Her mom handed her a plate of fresh eggs and bacon with some fresh squeezed orange juice. Amu sniffed with a happy smile on her face, and grabbed the fork to pick up the delicious meal. "Thank you mom."

"Amu can't you at least consider being a housewife? You wouldn't have to do much, just clean and cook. I'm sure that the match maker could even find you a husband. I want grand children you know. Ami is still-" Thats when Amu cut in. She hated when her mom kept suggesting her being a housewife.

"Mom, I told you millions, no, BILLIONS of times that I will not be a housewife no matter what. When I get married I will marry a man who cares for me and excepts me for my personality. I don't want a shinkin' match maker making me go with some lazy a- I mean butt of a man. Got it?" Her mom sighed. Amu is a very stubborn girl indeed, and she won't let anyone ever make her do something she doesn't want to do.

Amu simmered down and continued to finish eating her food, taking out her frustration on her food. Ami hadn't understood the conversation, and continued to eat her food with a cute smile. Then something hit Ami. "Mommy where is Daddy? I haven't seen him this morning." Both Amu and their mom stiffened. They hadn't told Ami about their Dad being gravely sick. He couldn't even get up from the bed much.

Amu was the one to answer. "Ami... Daddy isn't feeling to well so he's going to be in bed for a while okay?" Ami, not understanding fully, nodded.

Ami, thinking back to happy thoughts, continued to eat her breakfast happily while Amu remembered something. "Mom I'm going to check up on dad." She didn't even ask for permission, and just stood up and walked towards her Mom and Dad's room. Slowly she stood in front of the door and knocked softly. A audible 'Come in' could be heard. She opened the door and slowly walks towards the figure on the bed.

Her Dad was laying down on the soft mattress covered by a wool blanket. He smiled up to his oldest daughter, being glad to see her honey gold eyes shine with life. It made Amu sad to see her once energetic father on a bed looking ill, yet he still put a smile for the world which made her feel strong. "How are you my little swallow?" His voice was raspy, but it still sounded like her old dad.

"I'm doing fine. Still haven't found a job though, but I have a feeling I will. Soon. Then I can help you with the surgery you need." When she finished the sentence her Dad was frowning. Her expression became confused, not understanding why he would frown at the idea of him getting better for the family.

"Amu... the only thing I need is for you to be happy. You don't have to find a job and pay for my doctor's bill just for me. I want you to have all the happiness in this world."She smiled at her father. He was always thinking of others health either than his own health.

"Dad, I want you to be in good health. Ami, Mom, and I need you. I'll find a job that will pay good money and don't worry. It's what I want." He couldn't help but smile. Like father like daughter. Amu looked at the clock, and jumped off the bed. It read 10:14a.m. She looked back at her dad and gave him a smile. "Sorry Dad but I have to go. The sooner I leave to find a job the better!" She slowly leaned down to peck him on the cheek, and then rushed off out the door to who knows where.

Time skip~ 2:15 p.m.

"Damn.. no luck. Maybe I should visit Rima, Yaya, and Utau. I'm sure they could help." Amu walked towards Rima's house. There Rima was trying to sew a sweater. Her long golden blonde hair was tied up into a bun, and her brown eyes were focusing hard on her work. She was sitting down on an old oak chair. From the corner of Rima's eye she saw Amu and stopped her sewing. She stood up and dusted her yellow dress from any dust that was visible from her earlier cleaning. After she did that she looked back at Amu and gave her a small Rima smile.

Amu still couldn't believe her best friend wasn't married yet. She was the cutest girl you would probably find in the whole village. "Hello Amu." Even her voice was like a small whisper of a melody.

"Hello Rima. So how has your day been?" Amu asked as she walked up to the stairs and sat down.

"Same old, same old. Some men came and asked if I wold marry them, and of course I said flatly no. I mean one of them was missing a tooth. That was just repulsive." Rima also had the same view when it came to marriage. She wanted to marry a guy who cared for her because of her, not because of a stupid fat ass lady who was called a match maker who couldn't even get a man herself. "How about you and the job hunting?"

Amu's face sunk. "No luck. I came to ask if you have heard of any jobs I could take. None of the people I've met want to hire a girl." She rolled the word with her tounge as if it were the most disgusting thing a person could possibly hear.

Rima scoffed. People these days thought that girls like them couldn't do anything but sew and clean. Rima calmed herself down, and sat down on the stairs where her best friend sat. "Sorry Amu. I haven't heard any news. Utau and Yaya said they also haven't heard of news either. They were here just two minutes before you came."Sighing, Amu stood up. She took a deep breath and smiled.

"Well it's not the end of the world. I'll find a job! I can do it!" She punched her fist in the air with a determined face. Rima giggled silently at Amu's determination. She has never ever remembered a day that Amu gave up. It was the rarest thing ever.

When Rima was about to speak up a horn interrupted her. It was a an in an army uniform. He had chestnut colored hair that was pressed down due to the hat he wore and neon green eyes. He looked as if he would always have a smile plastered on his face, but he seemed a little tense. He had a serious look on his face. He stood up on a platform, and all the people, including Rima and I, crowded the little area.

"Listen up all of you! One man from each family is obligated to go to the camp just two to three miles away! If you do not go we will kick you out from this country!" Amu's eyes widened. In all her family the only person who was actually male was... her Dad. She shook her head furiously. He couldn't go! Not in the shape he was in... but if they got kicked out of the country...

Once the man stepped off the platform, without telling Rima, she ran off to her house as fast as her legs could carry her.

Time~10:45 p.m.

Once she arrived she could hear her Mom and Dad arguing. They had heard the news...

"Tsumugu you can't go! Think of your health!"

"Midori I have to! Who else would go for are family?"

"Your sick you need to stay in bed. You could barely even get up let alone run around a battle field!" Her mom had tears streaming down her face. Her nose was bright red. Ami was looking at them scared, not understanding what was happening but not liking it. "T-Tsumugu... d-don't.. I don't want you to get hurt."

"Listen to Mom, Dad. I don't want you to get hurt either!" Amu went in. Her Dad sighed. He was being argued by both sides now. They weren't going to let him go, but he wasn't going to give up either. With a firm voice he said ",we'll talk about this tomorrow. I'm going to go no matter what you say. I already have the suit in my closet. Goodnight."

Midori started to cry while Ami just tried her best to comfort her mom. Amu on the other hand was furious. Not at her Father, or Mother, but at the army. What? They didn't care if they lost more soldiers, but that they at least had back up just so they could get those killed also?

She walked outside feeling a pain in her chest. This wasn't what she wanted. What could she do that would make her Dad stay? Right then she thought of a person who could give her advice. Kimiki Evans. (A/N: Thats my character. I own her just saying. :) ) She was another friend of hers who gave great advice. She said it was because she was the only person who could read ten books in one day. It was true though. She had great advice.

Amu slowly made her way to Kimiki's house. Kimiki was sitting next to the window, just gazing out when she spotted the little pinkette. She quickly scrambled up and ran out the door with enthusiasm.

Before Amu could even get to the first step, Kimiki tackled her down and yelled with her voice that sounded like chimes ",AMU!" She was such a cheerful girl. Amu couldn't believe she wasn't married either. She had wavy black hair that reached her chest, and hazel eyes that were a forest green color today.

"C-Can't breath! Need oxygen!" Kimiki giggled and got up from her friend who needed 'air'. Amu stood up and dusted her dress from dirt. Typical way of meeting Kimiki. "So how have you been Amu? Have you read the stroy pride and prejudice? It's such a good book! I can't put it down!" Amu smiled at her friend's excitement over a book. "So what did you come here for, Amu?"

Amu looked away for a bit as she felt a pain in her stomach. Before she could stop her tears, they flowed out. Kimiki was startled. Quickly she went and hugged the crying Amu, giving her support and comfort.

Amu's P.O.V ~time~ 11:22 p.m.

I don't remember how I ended up in Kimiki's house but I felt comfortable. I sat in the living room that was filled with books from the entrance to the other exit. Different books in different languages, and different genres, everything. I sat near the fire place that kept me warm, while Kimiki went to get some milk.

She came back with two cups of milk in each hand. Sitting next to me she handed me the milk.

"So tell me whats wrong, Amu. Maybe I can help." She smiled at me her sister-like smile. I couldn't contain it even if I tried. At that moment I burst into tears.

"M-My D-D-D-Dad ha-has t-"

"It's okay, Amu. Calm down and take a deep breath." I did what she told me to do and breathed in and out. I felt a bit calmer, but I still couldn't manage to speak.

"Let me guess... your Dad heard the news from the army, and he has to go but you and your mom are saying no." Damn did she just read my mind? "No I didn't read your mind, Amu."

Yup. She totally read my mind. "So you want me to help you come up with a plan to make your father stay, but that you still don't have to be kicked out of the country. Am I right?" I nod. "Well then... this kind of reminds me of a folk tale I heard when I was little... A girl named Naomi was a smart and cheerful girl, but her father was sick. He had hurt his leg during war back then and he brought great honor on his family. Until, that is, another war broke out. Naomi didn't want her father to go so she cut her hair and apposed herself as her brother, which she never had-" Wait what? That's a brilliant idea!

"Thanks Kimiki! You're the best! I know what to do!" I ran out the door with a wide smile on my will be perfect!

Normal P.O.V. ~time~ 12: 32a.m. (Midnight)

Kimiki smiled in the dim fire light. "Naomi also found love during her little journey as a soldier even though she was disguised as a boy..."

Amu P.O.V. ~time~ 12:44 a.m. (Midnight)

I slowly crept in to the house. Everyone was asleep. I slowly tiptoed to my Dad's wardrobe and searched for the soldier outfit. It took a while to find but I got it. Ew... it's mossy green color and dirt brown color are disgusting so not to my liking, but boys outfits are always like that when it comes to the army.

I tucked in the suit under my arm along with my wrap for my chest . They wouldn't believe I was a guy with my chest so I'll have to use it. I quickly went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. I pulled my long pink hair to the side and cut it with the knife. Almost all my hair was on the ground. There.

Now to put on the horrifying outfit. Removing my clothes, I slipped in my arms and legs into the outfit. My hair was now up to my neck so when I put my cap on you could barely see it. There we are! I looked at myself in the mirror and I have to admit, I look cute as a guy also. Weird.

I crept out the house, leaving a note for my Dad and Mom on the table. I slowly went up to one of are horses and was off! Now I'm going to work this out.. I need to think of a plan...
