Shugo Chara: Be Cautious with the Quiet Ones [ON HOLD]

CH9: Precious Princess

(((((( Ryuu's Point of View )))))

                                       

"Wake up, Azami," I gently spoke to Azami against her ear. All she did was grunt.

I gently shoved her shoulder, "Come on, Azami, you gotta get up."

"No~! Five more minutes" She mumbles to me, not even opening her eyes.

"You don't have five more minutes!" I exclaimed yet she ignored me as she continued her slumber.

*Geesh! Now how in the world am I supposed to wake this girl up?* I ponder to myself until my light pulp flashed on, *Ah Ha! Perfect!* 

There was only on way for me to wake her up. Just hope she doesn't get to upset with me.

((((( Azami's Point of View ))))

"EYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!" I scream due to the sharp pain from my ear. I slapped away whatever it was that bit me on my ear.

"OWWWWW!" I hear Ryuu's tiny voice yell out in pain as she collided on the foot of the bed.

"R-Ryuu? Was it you that bit me?" I asked while I rubbed my earlobe.

"Yeah it was me." Ryuu responded as she stood up.

"What?! Why you do that for?"

"Well if you must know, Azami. I was trying to wake you up since you're late for school this morning." She states with her arms crossed.

"What?," I looked over the clock and quickly jumped out of bed, "Oh my God! I am going to be late for school if I don't leave now!"

I quickly changed into my school uniform before I ran downstairs.

"Ah Good Morning Sweetie!" My father speaks cheerfully as he read his morning newspaper with his black coffee.

"A-Ah Good Morning Dad! Bye Dad!"

"Eh!? Why you in such a rush?"

"Sorry Dad! I gonna be late for school!"

"I see, well I'll see you after school! Have a good day!" Dad smiles at me before I leave the house.

(((( Azami's Father P.O.V. )))

After seeing my precious daughter leave, I couldn't help but frown. I was hoping to speak with her before she left for school, yet things happen for a reason I suppose. I'll just simply wait for her until she gets home. I look down on the picture that I set down on the table. A picture of Azami hugging her mother.  I caress my thumb over my wife's face on the frame, *Hope she understands Darling. Things are happening sooner than we expected....*

((( Azami's P.O.V. )))

As I make my way to school, I think about last night excuse. I guess Hiroki was the one who brought me back home. But I wonder how he found me? It seems odd. I am a little surprised myself how I went along with Hiroki's lie that I fainted yesterday as an excuse for my father. The thought still bugged me.

"Azami! Are you listening?!" Ryuu puffed up her cheeks.

"Huh? Sorry Ryuu. What were you saying?" I apologized since I didn't realize that I spaced out for a moment.

"Neh you ok?" Ryuu asked a bit worried. She noticed I was spaced out.

I nodded with a smile, "Of course, so what were you saying?"

"Okie, well like I was saying was that if you don't mind if I venture your school today." She says happily.

"Nope."

Ryuu pouts at me, "B-But why?!"

I couldn't help but sigh, "I am sorry, but I cannot let others see you."

"But Azami! I don't wanna hide in there," She referred to my school bag, "I wanna see the school which Azami goes to." Ryuu was eager to see the place that I go to learn various things. I sadly refused because I was afraid that someone will see her.

"Forgive me, Ryuu. I just can't risk people seeing you."

She crossed her arms, "I don't see the risk, Azami. Like I said before, the only ones who are able to see us charas are the ones that have charas themselves."

"Still Ryuu. All of this is still overwhelming. I need time that all. Until then, could you please just hide for me?"

I could tell I made her a little sad as she sighed, "I understand Azami. No worries."

I couldn't help but smile, "Thank you, Ryuu." 

Ryuu gets inside my bag before a few guys showed up, "Well Lookie what we have here guys."

*Oh No!* My eyes shook in fear as my feet took a step back. They were the guys that give me a hard time every morning. I am not sure why they do this to me. I don't recall doing anything to them to make them bully me every morning.

My back collided against a brick wall, "P-Please, let me be."

The leader of the pack of boys steps closer to me with his evil smirk, "Fat chance Princess."  He says with his little nickname for me.

"Why?! I h-have never done anything to any of you, especially you."

"Of course not."

"What?" I exclaimed. I didn't understand, "Then why?!"

He grabbed my chin. I trembled out in fear within his grasp, "Why? Simple, it's because you're that Knight's precious princess."

He was referring to Hiroki. Hiroki was known as "Knight" at school due to his powerful tactics in the kendo club. Another reason why he was called that was because the school knows him by that since he has always protecting me since we were kids.

"What has Hiroki ever done to you?!" I remarked.

He clenches his teeth as he began to explain to me how he hated Hiroki because Hiroki had beat him in the National Kendo Tournament. Apparently this guy was unbeatable until he faced off Hiroki. So simply he hated him because he hurt his winning record. In order to get back at him, he wants to hurt him where it hurts. Which is bullying me.

"So tell me Princess. Is our precious Knight be devastated is something would ever happen to you?"

"You can't beat the crap out of me! I am a girl. What type of guy are you to be beating up a girl?!"

He chuckles evilly, "Who says I was going to beat you up, Princess?" He wraps his arm around my face as he pulls my body closer to his.

"Azami!" Ryuu yells in anger. She cannot believe what this guy is planning how to harm poor Azami.

My frightful eyes stared at evil dense eyes.

"To bad your Knight isn't here to protect you Princess." He smartly remarks.

That made me furious. I clench my fists. I am done with these guys bullying me just because Hiroki broke his winning record, especially when they think I can't defend myself. I felt warm sensation spark within me. Dragon horns appeared on my head, along with scales on my wrists.

"I can perfectly protect myself just fine!" I yelled while kneeing the jerk where the sun don't shine.
