Chapter 5- Kaoru
Ami's POV
"ONEE-CHAN!"
I ran to my older sister with the wings still behind my back.
Hikari quickly whispered something, making them disappear.
"Onee-chan! Onee-chan!" I screamed.
"WATCH OUT!"
I looked up and screamed as something black and small rushed towards me.
"AMI!" Hikari rushed towards me and pushed me out of the way.
"HIKARI!"
Have you ever seen something go slow motion? Well, it's happening to me now.
I watched as Hikari pushed me…
…
…
Those black things flew right to her…
…
…
They hit her side…
…
…
She was thrown…
…
…
I screamed.
"HIKARI!"
"HIKARI!" I turned to see Berry…onee-chan…? What?
She had wings like Hikari's on her back and was wearing an outfit that seemed familiar and carrying a guitar with a strap.
She flew to Hikari who seemed unconscious.
"Hikari! Hikari!" She cried, shaking my…best….friend's…body…
S-She…didn't die…did she…?
No…
No…
No…
NO!
"NO!" I screamed.
I turned to the eggs, anger boiling inside my heart.
How…dare…THEY!
"HOW DARE YOU!" I screamed.
A bright light came from my bag and I watched as my red and black egg came out and shone brightly.
Regular POV
"…Ami…chan…" Hikari whispered, opening her eyes to see Ami's red and black egg came out of her bag.
The egg suddenly hatched, revealing a girl with black hair and red eyes. Though she had an indifference aura around her, her eyes showed kindness mixed with slight anger. She wore a white collared shirt with a black jacket and red shorts. She wore long socks (like Amu's) and black shoes. A red hat was placed over her black hair with a symbol of a black note.
"My name is Kaoru, your shugo chara. Nice to meet you Ami." She said, bowing to Ami.
Ami just stared in shock.
Then Kaoru looked back up and turned to the X eggs. She glared at them. The X eggs flinched.
'Such fierceness…' The Guardians, the sorcerers, and Ami thought with a sweat drop.
"…Let's stop them Ami."
"Huh?" Confusion washed over Ami when Kaoru turned to her.
Ping.
Oh, no… Hikari gulped in difficulty as a red hat with a black note appeared onto Ami and an emotionless expression replaced her confused face.
The X eggs looked at her and then flew straight at her.
"AMI!" Hikari cried.
A loud boom covered the area along with dust spreading around. Everybody, but Amu who was unconscious still coughed.
Tadase, Rima, Nagi, Yaya, Kukai, Hikaru, Rikka, Suzune, Berry with her carrying Hikari, Akiko, and Mamoru all ran over to Amu to get her away from the debris falling everywhere.
"Wait, where's Hinamori?" Mamoru cried.
"…Tch." Everybody looked up to see Ami on a tree, her face without any emotion. "Not much are they?"
The X eggs shook in anger and charged at her again. And again, Ami jumped up, did a back flip, and landed not too far from the others.
Mamoru's POV
W-Wow…
H-Hinamori is amazing…
Doki-doki
W-What…?
Doki-doki
My…my heart is racing…w-why…?
I watched amazement as Hinamori continued to dodge them, my heart racing faster as I looked at her joy-ridden face.
Hinamori once again landed not too far from us and straightened up, looking at the X eggs.
"I still have to repay you all for hurting my friend…" She said softly.
I shivered…why is it affecting me…?
Doki-doki
Damn it, heart, shut up!
She raised her hand, a frown on her face. "Painful Song…" she whispered and suddenly, the X eggs cried out in agony.
"MURI!"
Everybody stared in shock.
"A-Ami…" I turned to see Hinamori-senpai trying to get up. "S-Stop…"
Hinamori didn't hear her as she again said those words.
"Ami! Stop!" Hinamori stopped and turned.
Ping.
Tears were suddenly streaming down her now innocent face. "Onee-chan…" Hinamori-senpai slowly walked over to her and hit her slightly on the head.
"Don't hurt others Ami…you're much better than that…"
Ami's POV
No…No…No…
Don't say that onee-chan…
Please…don't…
I'm…not kind…not like you…
I've always…been jealous…even to the point of hurting you!
Then onee-chan walked past me to look at those strange eggs and smiled. "Listen, all your dreams are still possible, even if it is sports…or music…don't say you're bad at it…just try your hardest and you'll get there! Anybody can do it if they try their best!" Onee-chan grinned weakly.
"…Muri…" The eggs started to calm down slightly.
Then onee-chan turned to me. "You must be feeling stressed to have a chara like Kaoru."
Kaoru scoffed.
Onee-chan smiled. "Don't worry, she'll grow on you…I had to do that with these idiots."
"HEY!" Miki, Suu, and Ran cried. Dia just sighed.
Then she turned back to the eggs and held out her hands to her chest into a heart and cried, "Negative Heart, Lock On!"
She brought out her hands and cried, "OPEN HEART!"
I watched in shock as all the black eggs turned white under the pink light that came from onee-chan's heart.
…So beautiful…
When everything was all done, the eggs left and everybody went back to their usual outfits. Onee-chan came up to me and I looked down sadly.
"…Onee-chan…I'm sorry…"
Onee-chan blinked. "For what?"
"…That Kaoru-san is strange!" Kaoru fell down and quickly got up.
"No way in hell I am strange! " She cried. "I'm just way cooler than you. And I can actually try then be afraid."
I blushed and glared at her. She glared back in annoyance.
"…And for doing something bad like this…"
Onee-chan smiled. "No worries Ami."
Kaoru scoffed. "This is stupid."
"…You sure do have an interesting chara Hinamori…" I turned to see Souma-kun.
I huffed. "Yeah, well, I don't like her…"
Hikari walked up to me, limping slightly. "Having a chara is a wonderful thing. Don't think badly of Kaoru-san Ami."
"Yeah, listen to what she says." Koaru flatly said, floated while lying down and her hat over her eyes.
"…You know…I can't help but feel as though she reminds me of Rhythm…" Nagi-niichan said, sweat dropping.
I blinked. "…Rhythm…?" I asked. Then a little guy wearing mostly blue and a blue hat with earphones around his neck appeared right in front of me and I screamed like bloody hell.
"KYAAA!" And I land on my damn butt…I'm glad onee-chan can't get in my head cause if she found out I said 'bloody hell' or 'damn' she'll be shocked and horrified!
"Yo~ I'm Rhythm! Nice to see ya aga-" I quickly punched the thing into the air in shock and fear.
I panted heavily as the thing landed on the ground as everybody else sweat dropped.
"…Wow…Ami-chan is really strong…" Tadase-niichan said.
Everybody nodded.
"Well…since she has a chara, looks like she can join the Guardians!"
I froze, my arms now hanging limply against my sides and my eyes wide. I bit my lip.
"…No…"
"Huh?" I could feel everybody's gaze on me, including Hikari's…
"…I don't want to…NEVER!" I cried, running away.
"AMI!" Onee-chan cried.
I paid no attention, just wanting to get away.
I don't want to be a Guardian…people will expect me…to be like onee-chan…I don't want to…EVER!
I panted, tears streaming down since I was lost and I fell a couple of times so I'm a bit dirty and my knee is bleeding.
I was in an alley and I have no idea where I am!
I sniffed.
"…Honestly…you're pathetic Ami." I turned to glare at my so-called chara.
"Shut up Kaoru! I had enough of your awful character! I don't need a chara so just go away!"
Kaoru stayed silent for a moment. Then she replied, "I can't."
"What do you m-"
"I can't just leave! A chara purpose is to help a child reach their dreams and-"
"What kinda dream are you then? I never wanted to be a horrible person who just hurts others for no reason!"
"…That's not the dream of what I was created from…"
"Huh?" I looked up only to see her floating away from me. "…K-Kaoru…"
In a matter of seconds, she was gone. I bit my lip, tears coming faster and faster.
"…Baka…" I muttered.
I sat down, leaning against the wall and held my legs against my chest and hid my face.
I wonder what Hikari is doing now…is she looking for me…or is she gonna stay with onee-chan and forget about me…?
I whimpered.
"…Onee-chan…" I whispered before falling asleep, still crying.
Amu: What…the…effing…HELL?
Ri: …?
Amu: WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO AMI?
Ri: Eh.
Amu: !
Kaoru: Shut up. You're annoying.
Ri: Amen!
Kaoru: You too so shut up.
Ri, Amu: …
Ami: …Kaoru actually isn't that bad! :D
Kaoru: Yeah, and you'd better not forget that!
Ami: ^^
