Star: Haza! Another Fanfic! This includes all the young males of SC! (Besides Gozen and evil step dad) And they all revolve around one girl. I don't own Shugo Chara, or the characters. But the story, summary, and plot are mine. Oh, and PLEASE GIVE WoM-sensei PROPER CREDIT, for she helped me edit this story.

The Rose in a Bush of Thorns

Chapter 1: The Rose Sprouts

The teacher walked into the classroom, carrying a pile of textbooks so high that he could barely watch where he was going

"Good Morning everybody!" chirped the teacher in an enthusiastic mood. "I'm sorry I am late, but now we can start our lesson!"

The small class of boys responded to their teacher's merry mood with uninterested expressions. A student in the back of the room raised his hand, catching the attention of his joyful instructor.

"Sensei, do we really need to do our lessons today? Especially since it's so hot!" the boy complained. All of the others nodded their heads in agreement.

"He is right." Commented a boy in front of him, who was adjusting his glasses. "It is what you would call the dog days of summer; even though we opened the windows, it still did not give us relief from the temperature of 95 degrees."

"Now, now." Humbly pleaded the teacher while rubbing his head. "I know it is pretty hot, but that doesn't excuse why we should skip our lessons. Besides, you five need to keep a good reputation." the teacher winked at them cheekily, in which resulted for the students to grumble in annoyance. He ignored them, turning around to face the chalkboard to start writing on it and beginning the day's lesson.

After School:

"Look, it's them!" squealed a girl in delight, making others turn around to see what she was talking about. The minute they did, others also started to voice out their own amazement. What appeared in front of them were five handsome young men, elegantly walking down the hallway.

"Ah, they're looking as amazing as ever!" a girl sighed as she observed them in awe.

"Not to mention that they're so cute!" giggled another girl in merriment.

"If I could, I would marry them all!" exclaimed a third.

All five of the boys passed by the fanfare of girls, as if none of them were even there.

In the Guardians Dormitory:

"Alright, I'm officially tired of being chased around," sighs a brown haired boy, coming out the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist. "I don't think I can go on like this anymore."

"I agree. Those girls can be a little…overbearing." remarked another boy wryly. He adjusted his glasses before continuing to read his novel.

"Don't you think that the both of you could be a little more considerate of the girls?" questioned a blonde teenager, sheepishly smiling at his roommates.

"Yeah, after all, they are just girls; they can't help but be themselves." a long haired boy agreed while he was stitching a hole in his uniform. He then turns his attention to the last boy who was lounging on the sofa in front of him. "You seem very quiet about this."

All of the other boys directed their attention on the teen relaxing. Seeing that all eyes were directed on him, he just smirked; as if seeming amused by the conversation "It's just sad, that they act like this all the time. Though I think it would be nice, if there was one girl who acted different."

All of the others just silently nodded in agreement. Everyday, they were smothered by several fan-crazed female students. Even though they might be the most popular students in the school, couldn't they at least be treated like an equal? Was there was one girl that doesn't go crazy just by a person's looks and outer personality, but as a real person? Over the years, they started to lose hope. They soon began to keep a cold distance between them and the students of the Academy. No one knows much about these five students, except themselves. Many girls wanted to know more about them, but it would be futile. It was like an emotional wall just blocked them before they could get to know them any better. To them, they were like a bush of thorns.

But every thorn has a rose…

The next day:

The day started off peaceful. Robins were happily chirping on the branches of trees, letting the sunlight that was peering through the jade-colored leaves shine onto their feathers. The sun shone brightly in the big, blue sky. Tranquility filled the air. It was warm, but not steaming like yesterday. The serenity was then brutally broken by a person who was frantically dashing into the school. Students quickly moved themselves clear from her path, for they did not want to ram into her, especially since she was moving with such swiftness. She started to run down the halls, and headed straight towards the chairman's office. The door busted open. She halted in front of the chairman's desk to try and catch her breath.

"I'm sorry, am I late?" asked the girl, as soon as her breathing had reverted back to normal.

"No, as a matter of fact, you're early." a voice responded in slight amusement. The seat in the chairman's office then turned around, revealing a 30-year-old man with faded light brown hair. He stared at the girl with intense, violet eyes. He folded hands together, giving the tired child a warm smile.

"Thank you for letting me transfer here Uncle Amakawa." said the girl, giving a smile in response to the one being given to her.

"Anything for my little niece." remarks the Chairman.

The chairman's remark then turns the girl's smile into an irritated scowl. "Uncle, do not treat me as if I am a child!"

"Now there's no need to be testy…" chuckles Amakawa who was trying to ward off his niece's glare. "Anyways, did you find an open dorm yet?"

The pink-haired girl was dumbfounded by his question. She hesitated before answering him. "N-no."

The Chairman frowned at her with a troubled face. "You know that there aren't any dorms for you to stay in, right?" he asked her.

The girl said nothing. She just looked down, feeling disappointed.

The chairman sighed heavily "If you cannot find a dorm to stay in, then I suppose I'll have to transfer you out of the school."

"No, please don't!" exclaimed the child. She ran up to the chairman, and bowed her head. "Please, I'll take any dorm, any dorm available!"

The chairman looked at her somewhat surprised, and then started to smile. "Well…there is one dormitory you can stay in, but I think it goes against campus rules."

"Really, I'll take it!" she agreed. Her eyes were beaming with delight.

"Alright, but let me first warn you…"

3 minutes later…

"W-what?!" the girl shouted, a blush was creeping up on her face. "You've got to be kidding me, there's absolutely no way I can stay there, no way!" she crossed her arms.

The chairman smiled nervously at his niece "I-it's the only dorm available. Either you stay there, or go back to Osaka."

The girl turned her back to her uncle, still having her arms crossed. The room was quiet, and the chairman just stared at his niece, curious of what her response will be. Then, her shoulders sagged, admitting defeat. Finally, the girl turned around.

"F-fine" she finally grumbled out. "I'll stay there."

"Alright then!" Said the chairman gleefully. "I'll get you acquainted with your new roommates right away, but first you need to go to class. Afterwards, I shall send you to your new dorm."

The girl said nothing. She just quietly exited the chairman's office, still showing a bit of blush on her face. When the door finally shut, the chairman laid back in his chair, feeling exhausted.

"If her father found out where she was staying, he would've had a heart attack." He sighed. "I hope nothing goes wrong…"

Meanwhile, as the girl started towards her new class, she noticed that somebody grabbed her arm from behind.

"Geez Amu, you shouldn't pass by me without saying hello!" Said a familiar voice.

The girl turned around. Her eyes widened when she saw who was holding onto her arm.

"Y-yaya?! What are you doing here?"

The child looked at Amu, and started to pout.

"What, you didn't think that someone like me would never get into this school, did you?" she insinuated.

"N-no, that's not it at all!" Amu said, looking back at her friend nervously.

"Good!" said the child, grinning happily. "Because that's what I was starting to think about you!"

"What did you say?!" said Amu, sounding angry.

The bubbly girl just laughed back at her. "Anyways, Amu, which dorm are you going to stay in?" she asked with a big smile on her face. "Please tell me you're staying with us!"

Amu immediately froze by the question. She did not want to tell anyone about which dorm she was staying in, especially not her best friend. "Well, y-you see…" she began

Seeing Amu's expression, Yaya began to pout even more. She then started to hug her friend's arm even tighter "No! Don't tell me that you're going to another dorm, I want you to stay with me and the other girls!" she started to whine.

"Now, now Yaya…" Stuttered Amu nervously. "There were some complications, so I can't stay with you three."

This answer left the whining Yaya with dissatisfaction. "At least you'll come over to say hi, right?"

"Maybe, if I ever get the ti-" but Yaya interrupted her before she could finish.

"Alright, make sure you come over tomorrow!" giggled Yaya gleefully. Amu tried to explain more to the girl, but Yaya had already dashed off to class.

She…didn't even give me time to explain… thought Amu in vexation. Amu tried to ignore Yaya's childish manners, and began to concentrate on finding her classroom. She then started to wander around the building.

I wonder who my classmates will be. She thought with curiosity. Amu was so busy with her thoughts that she did not notice another person walking in her direction. She bumped into the person, and fell down to the floor with a thud.

"Ouch, that hurts" she muttered under her breath.

"Oh, I'm sorry, are you alright young lady?" asked the person she collided with.

Amu looked up to see who she bumped into. She studied him curiously, blinking when she realized that he was a teacher. He looked pretty young, perhaps in his late in his late 20's, if Amu was to make a guess. The teacher had short, carrot-colored hair, in which was tangled with uncombed curls and pulled back into a ponytail. He had medium-sized, circular glasses and a suit that consisted of tan pants and a jacket over white T-shirt with a green tie. Surprisingly, he was kinda good-looking… Realizing that she was staring at him, Amu began to apologize but then noticed that the teacher was studying her with recognition in his eyes.

"Oh, I know who you are!"

"You do?" Asked Amu, who was getting up off the floor.

"Yes, would you follow me please; I will take you to your classroom." The teacher started to walk down the hallway.

Amu quickly started to follow him.

Who is this man, is he my teacher? She thought in her head.

Meanwhile During class:

All of the five boys sat impatiently, waiting for their teacher to arrive.

"He's late again." comments the student wearing glasses. "He needs to be stricter about his schedule."

"No need to be so cold Kairi-kun." says the long-haired boy. His attention directed him to the door that was creaking open. "Ah that must be him now!"

"Good morning everyone!" Sang the teacher, enthusiastic as ever. "Today, I have an important announcement."

The students looked up to their teacher, seeming interested in what he had to say.

"We have a new student joining the class."

A new student, the boys all thought in wonder Who would that be?

The teacher could not help but smile at the curious faces in front of him. "I think you are really going to like this student. Now, please give a warm greeting to our new transfer student, Hinamori Amu."

Once the teacher finished talking the door reopened, and a young girl entered the classroom. She had short, strawberry-colored hair that scarcely touched her shoulders. Her eyes were the color of a golden honey, and her skin was a soft, light color of peach. She was the average height of any other girl. She was, without a doubt, an attractive person. All of the students looked back at her with astonishment. Only one thought was on their mind:

A girl?!
