A number of other kids, all human, came running up. One seemed to be a boy with long purple hair, on the tall side for his age. The other two were a much shorter blond boy of about the same age, and a taller boy, who was a bit older.
The blond was panting hard, the other two moved like athletes, the one with purple hair a bit more fluid in his motions, the one with fly away brown hair more aggressive. It was the purple haired one who spoke.
"We were surrounded by rubber ducks, like someone had turned Dear Baby's attack against us, we couldn't get through. What happened?" His eyes flicked to Gosalyn.
"Embryo?" the blond one gasped, though his eyes were on her as well.
With a small pop sound and brief flash of light, the girl who had been in a clown outfit was now in a school uniform, a small clown like figure a handspan hgh appearing beside her shoulder, giggling as it hovered. "Her and gone," the little girl said. 'This one didn't change back." She looked up at the brown haired boy. "Walk me home." Not a request.
He made a face, then nodded. "Royal Garden?" he asked the others, who nodded.
Amu frowned a bit, watching them leave, then focused on the blond and the purple haired ones. "Everyone else changed back, not sure why she didn't. Um.... speaking of changing back..." her eyes flicked to the girl dressed like a big baby.
"Whoops!" Another pop and flash and the girl was now in the same uniform as the other little girl, a small baby like character floating by her head. "Sorry!"
The kid got down on one knee to be at eye level with Gosalyn. "Hello. My name is Fujisaki Nagihiko. Would you like to come to tea with us so we can try and figure out what happened?"
Well this was just all kinds of weird. Gosalyn looked around nervously, trying to figure out how the heck she was going to get out of there.
"Uhhh hi. I'm Gosalyn and I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I always look like this, I didn't get turned into anything!"
Yup, that portal was definitely gone. That's a problem. Though she's almost a little more concerned about the fact that her dad was gonna kill her when he found out about all of this.
"Hey, uh, have any of you seen a portal around here?"
She nodded, "Well yeah. Why would I lie about something stupid like that?" She rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed at the whole situation... or at least pretending to be to cover up how nervous she is. "And it was a big swirly thing in my closet."
"We are surprised and trying to understand," he said, calmingly. "We aren't accusing anyone of lying. But that portal doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of."
Amu blinked, unsure, then winced. "I'm not sure how we get you home. But we'll keep trying to figure it out." Somehow. She didn't look very convinced, unfortunately.
"Of course we will," the long haired boy assure her. "Until then, maybe you could stay in the royal garden? We could fix up a bed for you so that you'll be comfortable."
She smiles a little, nodding. "Well, if you're gonna figure out how to get me home I can at least look around, right? So, yeah! Where's the royal garden?"
He closed his hand around hers with a warm smile. His free hand waved to his friends. "You guys head home. I'll see you all tomorrow."
"Nagihiko..."
He gave a warm smile. "I may not be much help in a fight, but I'm still a Guardian, right, Amu-chan?"
She hesitated then nodded. "Alright. We'll see you tomorrow then."
He smiled as his friends left, then turned to her. "Are you hungry? I can pick you up some food once I get you settled in," he offered, starting to walk away from the others.
She watched the others go, curious about why they seemed hesitant about her going with him. But she was a hero so she knew she could take care of herself!
She followed him... she didn't really have a choice since he was holding her hand. At the mention of food she grinned, "Yeah? Sure! What kinda food do you guys have in this place?"
It isn't you kiddo. It is the fact that he's the only one of the group without those small doll like people floating about.
He chuckled. "Well, not knowing what it is that you have in your world makes it a little difficult to know what you would find interesting." He was going to avoid any places that sold poultry, however, and was keeping her away from their store fronts. Which mean the walk was a little less than straightforward.
"There is a place not far from campus that makes a decent beef ramen." Also a duck and a chicken ramen, but he wasn't going to be mentioning that. He, of course, had no way to know that she was from a world that had a bull bad guy but still sold burgers... "There are a few sushi places around, if you enjoy fish." Being a duck she might. "There is a takoyaki stand that stays open late," he added, thinking. "And I think Yaya said there is a place not far from the school that sells burgers and ice cream."
Never a worry. Just happy to get a post!
