Shugo Chara:The Past

Chapter 28

"Because once my parents find out,they're gonna break us up,not wanting their daughter,me,dating a bad boy."I reasoned."What about you?"he smirked."What about me?"I glared at him again."You skip out of school."he said."I'm not feeling well."I said and slammed the door in his face with a sigh.

I leaned against the door for a few minutes listening carefully.I waited,and waited,then finally I opened the door a little and poked my head through the doorway,looking down both halls to check if Ikuto was still there.I sighed again and opened the door wider,walking down the empty hallway and down the stairs.

I headed towards the kitchen and grabbed some snacks and a cup of juice.I then ran back up to my room and shut the door with my feet."Amu-chan?"Ran sat in my lap as I sat down on my bed.I looked at her."Are you still mad at them?the guardians?"she asked."Who?"I looked at the clock."The guardians,Tadase-kun,Yaya,Nadeshiko,Kukai,and Manaka-chan."Ran said."Oh."I hesitated."A little.."

The next day I walked to school quietly and headed towards my classroom."Amu-chan!!!!!!!"Manaka shouted from a distance.I sighed,annoyed."What?"I didn't bother to say good morning."Ohayo!"she smiled.I looked at her not replying.Manaka looked stared,expecting me to say something back but when I didn't,she started talking."I'm sorry about yesterday..I was just so excited and happy,I didn't think about everyone else.."she apologized.I sighed again,"Its ok.."
"Really?"
I nodded staring at the floor."Everyone was happy."I said,then muttered under my breath,"For you.."
"Hey,do you want to come to my house today?"Manaka asked while we were walking."Sure.."I said.After school,at the Royal Garden,(Yes,I have decided.I could go there when I want to..)everyone apologized to me and I forgave them.Kinda."X eggs!"Ran shouted."Lots.."
"Of X eggs."Temari said.Everyone stood up.Except for me.I stood up slowly,deciding if I could come..
"Come on,Amu-chan!!"Miki shouted as the others ran out."But-"I started."Who cares about yesterday!Just go!"Ran said.I stood there watching the others."Ugh..You know what?"

"Hey everyone!!Amu-chan fought an X egg by herself yesterday!"Miki,Su,and Ran shouted."Wait!Why-"Everyone turned to me.They smiled and said,"Good Job."

I crossed my arms."S-Stop treating me like a baby.."I said as I caught up to them.When we arrived,X eggs flew around everywhere,blasting things that
They don't seem to like.Even though it was just trees and flowers.We all transformed,and fought them.I flew up into the air and so did Manaka.Unexpectedly,a dozen eggs surrounded Manaka,and blasted some..weird purple goo at her,and she fell."Manaka!"Kukai shouted."Manaka-chan!"

She slowly closed her eyes,the goo disappearing,as if it sank into her.Her transformation wore out,and Lala came out panicking in the air as she plummeted down.Just as we thought she would break a bone,Tadase ran up and caught her in his arms.I felt a wave of jealousy rush through me as he landed on the ground again.

Everyone rushed over to Tadase who was holding her,bridal style.I couldn't help but look at the details.I bit my lip as I was about to land on the ground too,then gasped.I noticed that X eggs also surrounded me,running in circles,chanting and glowing purple.

The guardians were gathered around Manaka,who was slowly regaining her strength.I glanced down nervously my throat felt dry.As I tried to shout,but nothing came out.Manaka had opened her eyes,and found herself..in Tadase's arms.Don't mean to sound selfish,but my Tadase.I had him first.He was my childhood friend.We had a history.Now I kinda know how Saaya felt when Tadase started hanging out with me and broke up with her.
