#hey! who gave you permission to be this ding dang cute?!

[waspandr]

@gaopoyo​​ asked:

just how had the lieutenant invaded her division? the world may never know; but there had been a preciously wrapped bento centered on her desk. of course omaeda had been looming. within however had been a delicious fried fish as well as themed snacks centering around the sea. and a note! “ i saw you enjoying some fish a few days ago and thought you’d like this! kill omaeda if he tried eating it… 🐝 ”

The temptation to move her office increased with every one of her visitors. As luck would have it, seems she just managed to miss the Lieutenant but, the fragrance of their perfume still lingered heavy in the air and stood strongest around the box they'd left. The bright pink and paw-printed wrapping around the bento was a little obnoxious to the eyes, but like a calling card, it made obvious just whom the box was from. Though, she did still read the little note they'd included too.

After peeling that wrapping from the box, her eyes went wide with brows shooting upwards as she pulled the box open to find a cute and surprisingly neat little display of sea-themed snacks. They noticed a detail as small as that and made such a point to remember? Curiosity took hold, and she reached down to grab one of the smaller bits of fish from the display, promptly plopping the morsel into her mouth to taste.

Ah, it was good. Very good, in fact.

...

Okay, so... maybe having the occasional visitor wasn't so bad.

ɪ'ᴍ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴜᴍᴘ ᴄᴀʀᴅ!? (Ch. 4)

“The new Guardian members, in other words, the fifth and sixth Guardian, is...The Red Joker: Hinamori Amu! The Black Joker: Kanade Haruto!” Haruto’s face went blank at the announcement. Everyone started talking excitedly.

“The J-Joker? What the heck is that?!“

*To The Royal Garden* “What do you mean what?” Hotori looked at them, looking genuinely confused. Like he didn’t just go against their wishes.

“Oh, we’re having brownies today.” Nadeshiko slipped in. Like that was the proBLEM.

“I love the brownies that Nadeshiko makes!” Yaya cheered, stuffing her face with the chocolate delight.

“Not that!” Hinamori let out a loud yell, “You guys just brought us into the Guardians without permission, and what’s a Joker?”

“What? You don’t know? It’s a trump card.” Kukai held up said card and showed it to them.

“Trump card?” Haruto asked.

“That’s right!” Kukai pointed a finger at them.

“Hinamori, you have three Guardian Characters. That’s amazing, and that’s why you’re a Joker. Haruto, we just didn’t know what to name you. That’s all there is to it.”  He took a bite out of a brownie as the situation was in wraps.

“That doesn’t help!” Hinamori yelled at him.

“The Joker has a special role to play.” This caught their attention.

“Special?” They asked.

“We Guardians always seem like we’re partying it up, but really most of our work is pretty boring.”  Yaya slid in the conversation with a pout.

“So basically, all the Jokers have to do are the special missions.” He was chewing the rest of his brownie, still pointing a finger at them.

“Being a Joker sounds so nice.” Yaya complained.

“You’re right.” Kukai joined in.

“Anyway.” Daichi took their attention

“Here’s our cape, Amu! Haruto!” They help up a red and blue cape for the Jokers.

“Anything but that!” Hinamori yelled.

“It’s okay, Hinamori-san, you only have to wear it for official functions.” Hotori reassured. Then, with a sparkle, “Let’s work hard together.” He had sealed the deal.

*Skip*

Haruto was laying bed, cuddled against a stuffed sheep he’s had since childhood. His gaze landed on the cape hung with his uniform.

“Guess you didn’t have to stress so much about it, since you didn’t really have a choice, huh?” Reo floated up to him and snickered.

“Yeah, I guess. Not like I can just quit after they announced it to the entire school. Just imagine the rumours that would fly.” Haruto felt a shiver run up his spine.

‘Though, I guess i’m not that against it…’ A smile appeared on his face.

“Kids! TIme for dinner!” His mom’s voice rang through the house.

Getting on his feet he left his room and made his way to the kitchen. The plates were already laid out, his father already sat at the table.

“Welcome home, Dad.” He gave his father a smile as he sat down.

“Hey bud, how was school?” At the mention of school, Haruto’s smile got bigger.

“It’s been pretty good, actually.” This peeked his parents interest. His mother gave him a curious look as she sat down next to her husband. They were used to “Good” “Fine”, but they never heard anything different.

“Did something exciting happen?” His mother asked.

“Haruto made some friends!~” They looked towards Etsuko was hopping down the stairs with a grin on her face.

“Really? That’s great hun!” His mother gave him a proud smile which he blushed at.

“I actually ended up joining a club with them, too.”

“Really? What club?” His father questioned.

“They call it ‘The Guardians.’ It’s kind of like a student council.”

“Oh! I was Guardian too when I was you age.” His mother looked at him gleefully.

“R-Really?’ This shocked him. He actually didn’t know how long the Guardians have been a thing at this school, he figured it was fairly new.

“Yep! I was the Queen’s Chair! Those were the days.” His mother gained a nostalgic look on her face, staring off into the distance.

“That’s great and all, but can we eat? I’m starving!” Etsuko complained, accompanied by a loud growl.

“Of course.” Their father said.

“Thank you for the food!”

Haruto got distracted by a vibration. He checked his phone to see he had gotten a message for the Red Joker herself.

Hinamori:‘Something so weird just happened.’

Haruto: ‘What?’

Hinamori:‘You know that weird cat guy that tried to steal my eggs?’

Haruto:‘Yeah? What about him?’

Hinamori:‘He just appeared at my window, gave me a bag of snacks, bit my ear, then declared us enemies!’

Haruto could hear her yelling through the text messages.

Haruto:‘Well it’s nice that he gave you snacks? Why did he bite your ear? And by “us” do you mean the two of us?’

Hinamori:“He must of have done it because of the tart, or something. He said he was gonna tell me something and just ended up biting my ear! He said if we stayed in the Guardians, we’d be his enemies???’

Haruto:‘You’re easily lured, aren’t you? Well it must be something between him and Hotori-kun.’

Hinamori:‘I am not! How was I supposed to know he was gonna do that?”

‘He was at your window, I don’t think anyone but you could of heard him.’

Hinamori:‘....’

Hinamori:‘Shut up.’

Haruto: ‘Good night Hinamori-san lol’

Hinamori: ‘...Night.’

*It’s a new day!*

“Nice day, isn’t it?” Nadeshiko said peacefully, sipping at a cup of tea.

“Indeed, perfect for training subjects.” Kiseki agreed.

Haruto stared at them oddly. Somehow Kukai dragging Hinamori across campus was seen as being peaceful.

“I’m going to pick up the pace!” Kukai shouted as he zoomed on by.

“So, I’m a Joker too, right?” Haruto asked.

“Yes.” Hotori confirmed.

“Then am I gonna have to do that too…?” Haruto was worried. He wasn’t all that fit, there was no way he could handle that.

“Not unless you can do character transformation.” Nadeshiko informed.

“O-Oh, that’s good…” Haruto looked down at his biscuit (or are they cookies? I don’t know) in fear. ‘I’ll just keep that to myself then.’

“Amu-chan, keep fighting!” Yaya cheered as they ran by again.

“W-Wait! Why are we racing all of a sudden?” Hinamori yelled cas she clung to the rope.

“If this is enough to make you give up, the you won’t be able to complete the Joker’s special missions.” Daichi told her casually, as Kukai gleefully dragged her around.

“You keep saying special, but just what these special missions, anyway?” Hinamori asked exhaustedly. Haruto watched also, curious to what his “duty” would of been.

Kukai slid to stop and dropped the rope. Hinamori fell into him, hands on his chest as he steadied her. Haruto could faintly see a blush appear on her cheeks as she looked at him.

He felt a small pinch of envy appear, but it left as quickly as it came. I mean, yeah, it would be nice to do that but it’s just as nice to sit next to friends, having snacks. It’s all good.

Hinamori quickly jumped way from him, which he kinda just smirked at. She crossed her arms in the Hinamori way, ” So what are the special missions?”

“X Egg hunting. That is the joker’s special duty.” Kukai answered.

“Kanade-san, have you fought an X Egg before?” Haruto’s attention was taken by Hotori.

“Um, I’ve fought a couple. I didn’t really know what I would have done if I won, so I kind of just ran away…” Haruto was lying. He was able to change them back with character transformation fairly easily, but he wasn’t going to tell them that.

“Since you’re a joker also, you’ll be helping Hinamori-san with finding them and help her purify them.” Hotori instructed.

“Don’t worry about it too much though, we’ll be there to help too.” Nadeshiko gave him a reassuring smile.

‘I really wasn’t all that worried about it, but thanks I guess.’

“I’m glad Hinamori-chan is a Joker with me,” The three Guardians looked at him questioningly, “Alongside her, we can help people believe in their dreams again. I think that’s so amazing.” He looked down at his hands with a blush.

They looked at him with shocked faces, before each one was adorned with a bright grin.

“That’s a great way to look at it, Kanade-san.” Hotori praised, as Nadeshiko nodded alongside him.

“Yeah! It’s like were heros!!” Yaya yelled.

“Yeah. Heroes...” Haruto blushed.

*Ding Dong Dang Dong* *Time skip*

Haruto was walking through the halls when he heard excited chatter. Walking to the noise, he saw a group of girls hanging around a board, and one with pink hair caught his attention.

Pushing through the crowd, he reached Hinamori who was staring at a poster in disbelief. The poster was a news article that said “Lovey Dovey with J!?” and had a big picture of Kukai and Hinamori holding onto each other on it.

“As expected of Hinamori!” Someone said.

“You just got joker’s chair, and now you’ve taken Kukai’s heart, too!” Someone else squealed.

“Hinamori-chan...I-Is this true…?” Haruto asked quietly, shocked at what he was seeing.

She tore the poster down and crumpled it to a ball, “No. Of course not.” She cooly said, walking away.

“Cool and spicy!” They chanted.

Haruto quickly ran after his fellow Joker, to walk alongside her.

“She’s great!”

“He looks so cute in the royal cape!”

“What unbelievable jokers!”

“So cool!”

Whisper spread through the student body as they walked down the halls together. “You’re doing it again, Hinamori-chan…” Haruto said, looking at her worriedly.

“It’s not like I mean too. Another facade has been created.” She said sadly.

Walking into the classroom, they were greeted with a couple of girls talking to each other.

“No way! Is it true, Yuki?”

“You’re transferring overseas so suddenly?”

A girl with dark green hair and blue eyes gave a sad nod.

“Really?” “Where are you going?” More girls crowded around her.

“America.” She answered.

“That’s Haroba Yuki?” Hinamori question softly.

The girls surrounding Haroba tried to reconcile her, “Cheer up. Even if we are separated, we’re still friends.”

“Yeah, that will never change.”

Haroba only gave a small nod.

Haruto’s eyes widened as he felt something. He gave a look towards to Reo who only nodded at him.

“Give me your new information.I’ll call you.” A girl said

“Liar.” This took everyone by surprise.

“Character change.” An ominous voice rang out.

“Huh? Whose voice was that?” Hinamori started looking around furiously.

“You heard it too, Amu?” Ran said.

“It must be…” Haruto mumbled.

Haroba threw her stuff to the floor, causing everyone to back up.

“Liar! You will change! You will change and forget me!”

“Yuki, we would never…”

“That’s mean, saying that.”

Haroba pushed them to the side as dashed out of the classroom, the girls calling after her.

Haruto’s eyes noticed something, a small little egg trailed the girl.

“That was…” Haruto started.

“An X Egg?” HInamori asked, “Then the voice was…”

:Amu!” Ran said to her.

“Right.” Haruto and Amu ran after the girl and her X Egg, but stumbled into someone.

“I’ll go on ahead, HInamori-chan.” Haruto said, running to the side of the collision and towards where he saw her run off to.

As he neared closer and closer to the egg, his earring glowed brighter and brighter. He ran into a plain-like place and heard a loud scream. Haroba was looking face to face with the egg. The egg began to crack and the light left her eyes. As the X character came out she completely collapsed to the ground.

It turned and faced the other Guardians, when they got there Haruto doesn’t know, but whatever.

“Destroy!” Long strands of english letters attacked the Guardians and they all lept out of the way.

“Reo, let’s character change.”

“Right.”

Diamond shaped ribbons appeared in his hair and and a black choker with a moon trinket on his neck. He held out his hand, and with a poof of purple sparkles and white and purple megaphone appeared in his hand.

“Lunala Roar!” Haruto held the megaphone to his mouth and with a loud scream, purple rings flew from the megaphone and towards the X Character.

“Uh-oh.” The character flew out of the way of the attack, before flying out of the area with a “Yahoo.”

“Oh no you don’t you little punk! Get back here!” Influenced by his chara change, Haruto let out a war cry before launching himself after the chara.

Jumping from tree to tree, he chased the chara with determined roars. The chara stopped at a building and threw the doors open. Haruto could faintly see the back of Hinamori in it.

Pushing himself to go faster, his legs burned at the sudden exercise he was getting. The chara started attacking Hinamori who ran further into the building.

Running into the building, he was suddenly accompanied by the King and the Jack, “Hinamori-san!” Tadase caught her attention.

“Tadase-kun, Kukai, Haruto…” She said in surprise, looking at the three boys.

“Be careful. That’s an X Character, born from an X Egg.” Hotori warned.

“An X Character?”

Responding to Hinamori’s question, the character looked at her with it’s big grin, “Yes, I am an X Character!” It shot the ominous letters out again.

Haruto jumped out of the way, as Kukai and Hotori got behind the chairs with Hinamori.

“Over here, you little mongrel!” Haruto drew the attention from the other Guardians.

The Chara shot the dark strands of the English alphabet towards him.

“Full Moon Shield!” He yelled into his megaphone once more, but insteads of rings a purple shield covered the area in front of him and protected him from attacks.

A bright light shone behind the seats, probably Hinamori. He hoped she would hurry, because he can only hold these attacks for as long as he can yell. Thankfully Hinamori lept out from the seats as Amulet Heart and got the X Characters attention. She jumped and tried to catch it with her hands, but it dodged every attempt.

“I don’t want to change!” He could hear the voice of Haroba’s inner thoughts from the chara.

“It’s fine! It’s fine to change!” This caught the chara off guard and gave Hinamori the time to use her finishing move.

“Negative Heart: Lock On!” Putting her hands in the shape of a heart, she thrusted them outwards. “Open Heart!” Pink hearts began pouring out of them, purifying the X Character.

A small stewardess appeared where the X character once was, “Attention, please. Thank you, Amu-chan. Thanks to you, I’m at ease.” She said.

“You’re who Hatoba-san really wants to be?” Hinamori asked.

“Yes. But it’ll still be a secret for now. I’ll be sleeping for a bit longer, until Yuki-chan realizes it herself.” The chara answered, before going back into her egg with a “See you again.”

Haruto let out a sigh of relief as the character change released. He was glad it was all over. He hoped nobody brought up his personality with the character change, though…

The Guardians followed the egg back to its owner's body, where it flew back into her chest.

Haroba let out a grumble as she got up, “What am I…”

“You collapsed here.” Nadeshiko told her.

“Are you dumb?” Hinamori took her attention, “No matter how far you go, you’ll always be connected under the same sky. Your friends will always be your friends, no matter where you are. Isn’t it okay to change?” Hinamori scolded the girl with her hands on her hips.

“Well something like that. I was afraid to change, too, you know. Let’s get along together from one scaredy-cat to another.” Hinamori held her hand out with a smile and a wink,

Haroba looked at Hinamori in awe before taking her hand, “Yeah.”

“Ah! Class is gonna start!” Haruto yelled.

“Later! I’ll be going ahead of you guys!” Kukai yelled, sprinting off towards his classroom.

“Kukai, that’s not fair! Don’t leave me behind!” Yaya yelled, chasing after him.

*Time Skip*

Everyone was sitting in class staring a man with brown frizzy hair, kept in a low ponytail. He had rectangular glasses and dark green eyes. The name on the board said “Nikaidou Yuu.” He also had two big stacks of books on the desk.

“While your homeroom teacher is on maternity leave, I’ll be taking over the Grade 5 Star Class-

“Sorry we’re late!” Hinamori slid the door open, walking in alongside Haruto and Haroba. While she walked up to the teacher she tripped on the ledge and fell over. This also knocked the new teacher down as well, along with books and papers.

“This is the second time today.” She mumbled, sitting up.

“Oh, I met you before. You’re a teacher?” She questioned.

He gave her a close eyed smile, “Yes I’m Nikaidou Yuu. Now that I have a chance to greet you properly… Hello, Himamori Amu-san, Kanade Naruto-san.”

“Himamori?”

“Naruto…?” They mumbled together.

He began to get up, “Anyway, first period’s-”

He stepped on a piece of paper and slipped again. The whole class started laughing at him.

“He’s quite the character.” Hinamori said, to which Haruto nodded at.

‘This man is our new teacher? He seems quite nice, actually.’ Haruto thought to himself, excited to see what this man will bring to the rest of the school year. Hopefully all good things.
