Shugo Chara: ✤The Guardian {| Book 1 |}

XVI. Changing Character AGAIN?

"HAAARUUUKAAA!!"

The small squeaky voice of a small chibi caused my attention to be directed
towards where the sound came from- which in essence was a Guardian Character.

Something I, Haruka Kurokawa, hadn't known even existed before this morning
and yet plagues me. I had yet to figure out how to make it disappear, but
a part of me didn't want it to leave. After all, it did welcome her with open arms
quite literally. And it was somewhat her.. Child.

I winced at the thought that I birthed quite a small oddly decorated chibi
person.

I laid on my stomach in my bedroom, my glasses still on my face shadowing my blue eyes from the world and my semi wet blonde hair wrapped up in a knot bun with a white towel wrapped around my edges fancily, my bangs pulled upwards and out of my face. It was evidence of a nice, warm shower that I got after dance.
I drenched all of my scratches in the water and rid all of the nasty
dirt and leaves off of my hair and skin.

I shoved a shoujo manga in my face after I got dressed- this time a story about depression and self-loathing, one that I've read a million times and to this day makes me miserable from reading it over and over.

Not only for the characters but for myself..

The inner me longed for action and to escape from my boring life and
the pressure to being perfect for my mother. Balancing out my grades, dance, and music proved that it being 'difficult' was an understatement. I suppose it
was this need that caused me to birth three faberge eggs.

Groaning, I set down my manga where I laid and rolled off the bed and onto my feet, where I slipped my slippers on and exited out of my room through
my white door. I wasn't long before I walked out into the upstairs terrence where I saw my chara, Soleia, looming over the large TV in the mini-living room,
one of those Precure animes brightly projected on the screen.

"Soleia.." I groaned from upstairs causing her to turn around. Even a small chibi
floating girl like her seemed to like those magical girls. It was always a hidden desire of mine as a young girl to be a precure.

The expression on my chara's face was quite emotive- and cute.

"Haruka, look at that! W-we can do that!" She pointed her tiny hand towards the
screen where a tiny girl used her power of.. flowers? To rid of the evil monster
that posed a threat to them.

For a split second, a widened expression and excited expression came over
my face but I quickly hid it as I walked down the steps. As I got closer to Soleia
I noticed my father's rusty key wrapped around her small body and even hung over
her like a rapper wearing gold chains.

"Why do you have my necklace around you?" I asked loudly, taking it off of her neck.

She pursed her lips out, pouting. "Anybody could've stolen that! It's the Luck Key!"

I cupped the rusty key in my hand, holding it to my heart, my eyebrows furrowed. I don't know who in their right mind would want a key this ugly but me- and apparently Soleia.

"No.. It's my father's." I said, my voice getting quieter.

My orange haired chara floated closer to me. "Well yeah, he passed down The
Luck Key to you!"

"What do you mean Luck, why did that cat guy call me that?" I raised my voice
once again.

"It means that you're exceptionally good at being good." said Soleia.

I tilted my head in confusion, exceptionally good at being good? Who
talks like this?

I opened my mouth to speak but Soleia silenced me as she began to talk again. "Only the purest of heart are chosen to be Lucks. You just happen
to be the only one in the vicinity! When you put positive emotions into your
actions, you generate magic within your Heart's Egg and it just happens
to be more bountiful and frequent than most egg users."
