Ash: Heya, minna! This is my first story so be kind to me!

Kusu-kusu: Really? Okay, we will!

Yoru: Nya-haha! As if! I, the alley-cat king-nya-..

Ash: Uresai! Rima, help say the disclaimer!

Rima: No. Get Nagi to do it.

Nagi: -Sweatdrops- Uhh, The author doesn't own shugo chara or any of its characters..

Rhythm: Cool!


Nagi's Pov

Finally! It was so good to return back to my house. Gosh, that Chibi Devil, Rima, is a real pain. What did I do to offend her anyway? I walked along as Temari and Rhythm floated beside me. My parents were gone for so long, being on a business trip, it would've driven me to hell if they weren't here. At Seiyo Elementary, we had a student council called the Guardians, who are to purify X-eggs which are heart eggs corroded with negative feelings. Even though Easter stopped their X-eggs production for the search of the embryo, some of the eggs still get negative energy in it. Sometimes, the egg is produced, and it hatches to form guardian characters, like Temari and Rhythm. They represented who I wanted to be, and even our founding king of the guardians could see them. I sighed, exhausted, and walked to my bed. It was cool, in spring, and after a while, I dozed off into a slumber, thinking about a certain someone, with big round golden eyes, and blonde hair at waist length, someone who looked petite but can't run, and love gags too much..

XOXOXO

I glanced at the clock, the sunlight blinding my eyes. WHA-.. IT'S SEVEN TWENTY ALREADY? I rushed out everything, from making breakfast to wearing my clothes. Rhythm even had to Chara-change with me to calm me down. As I ran out, rushing to school, I bumped into someone, causing her to fall by accident.

''Idiot, watch where you're going!'' A girl's hushed voice sounded, not far from a shout, but not close either.

''Sorry!'' I blurted, then met eyes with who it was. Then I smirked, at the girl with blonde hair, and big, golden eyes that sometimes mesmerized me. She widened her eyes, then masked her face again with a bored expression, as though I was a bore.

''Oh. I see, it's just you. Good morning, crossdresser.'' I could hear her emphasize the word, but I as I was about to go off without her, almost about to run to rush to school, Rhythm chara-changed with me without my consent again, and it took both me and her by surprise as my body moved on its own, scooping her light body up, as though she was a princess, and dashed right ahead. I could feel her arms around me, and I was conscious about it, her tiny arms around me and her head at my neck. It felt so..so.. wrong. This is it. I blame Rhythm. Why does he always do these things to make my life much more difficult for me?

Rima's Pov

My eyes widened as he scooped me up, and as he ran recklessly, I hugged his neck while closing my eyes, afraid to fall. As I tightened my arms around his neck, I could hear him smirk, but I didn't care. I didn't want to fall and hurt myself. Plus, the warmth made me feel.. safe.. I like it that way.. Do I? Finally, I mustered up enough courage to open my eyes. I saw things passing by us quickly, while violet hair trailed behind him. Hair so smooth and soft, so.. Wait- what was I just thinking? I shut my eyes again, and put my head in his neck, but it just made me have a better sniff at his bath soap. It smelled so.. Like him. Green tea, I finally identified. I waited while he jogged at a constant speed toward our school. Even if he carried me and ran, though, he didn't even sweat one little bit. He must be very athletic.. Unlike me. I nuzzled deeper into his neck, reflexively.

XOXOXO

We soon reached Seiyo Elementary, and I was more than ready to let go after so long. As I was put down, I looked up and saw the massive numbers of people who witnessed what just happened. Blood rushed to my cheeks, and, not wanting this to continue, I shoved the purple-haired crossdresser to the ground, and ran, but I stopped after a few steps with an unsettling feeling in my tummy. Since I was never good at sports, I had already panted. I hated running, but I hated situations like these worse. I hated Nagihiko and everything about him annoyed me. I hated situations with Nagihiko the worst. Especially when Nagihiko was involved. He only wanted Amu from me. I was sure of it. I could not afford to let that happen. He was evil. I started to let my cold outer character take over after finally settling the knot in my stomach. I walked slowly and steadily toward my class, ignoring the bell that rang soon after, my bangs hiding my eyes to prevent from looking anyone in the eye, I wish Amu was here...

As I watched Rima leave, Rhythm stopped the chara-change. I had felt her tighten her grip around me, and she had let her head nuzzle in deeper into my neck.. What did it mean? I looked around to see everyone there looking at me. I cursed under my breath. This was definitely not a good start for the day. I stood up, bent my head forward to let my hair shield my face, and started walking calmly, as though nothing was wrong. Just then, the bell rang. I was late for my class, but Nikaidou was later. When I entered, Rima was reading the newest edition of her favorite gag manga in her seat nearest to the windows, refusing to look at me. It figured, though. She was the ice queen. She was beautiful in sunlight, I realized, as though all the cold from her gets absorbed by the sun, and.. and I got too caught up in watching her that I didn't hear Nikaidou walk right up right behind me.

''Nagihiko-kun? Could you please return to your seat?'' He had shocked me, but I didn't even flinch. I wasn't a scaredy-cat, like Amu. Amu.. She was probably why Rima hates me. I never wanted to fight, and I only ever wanted to be friends, not steal Amu from her. I gave a small nod and let my hair cover my face again, walking to my seat right at the back row of the room. As I sat down, Nikaidou clapped his hands and looked at all of us, a goofy smile on his face.

''Alright, now class, this is very important, so listen up. In two days, we will be going to a small nature resort to live at, for a week.'' At that, the class groaned and whined, complaining of the short notice. '' All right, but you are the only class going! So, three people will be sharing a room. The camp is free, and you get to choose who you want to be with, or if you want to be alone.'' At this, the class cheered, but I could only look at Rima. She seemed to be listening, but she didn't seem to be bothered. I guess she sensed that I was looking at her, though, since she turned her head abruptly, facing me. Her eyes widened, then she glared at me, mouthing the words crossdresser to me. I did the same by mouthing the word shortie. Nikaidou-sensei then told us to write who we wanted to be with on a slip of paper. I wrote to be alone. I was used to it, anyway. My parents seemed to be always away now, and no one ever seems to be at home. My housekeeper just leaves me alone while I do my work, and after so long, loneliness was already a friend, though not always a good one. As I handed my slip of paper to the front, I grimaced. I wondered who was going to be with me.

The fan boys of Rima seemed to have remained faithful, and wrote to be with her, while some other girls wrote to be with Nagihiko. Rima stared at her blank paper, then wrote to not be with anyone else. Even if they already knew about her liking comedy, they still liked her, some of them. She didn't want them to see her being obsessed. It was her own problem, and she could deal with it alone. It would probably embarrass her anyway. She continued reading her manga while Nikaidou counted the notes, sneaking glances at Amu and Nikaidou-sensei, feeling guilty for not choosing Amu instead of being alone. As Amu looked up, she saw Rima looking at her, and gave her a smile, before returning to doodling on her notebook.

''Alright, class!'' Nikaidou clapped his hands, getting the class's attention. ''Right now, I will be reading out the groups. First, Yamabuki Saaya, Hotori Tadase, and Hinamori Amu.'' Saaya, however, was too distracted to even hear Amu's name. The names were followed by the rest of the class. Finally, Nikaidou called her name.

''Mashiro Rima and Fujisaki Nagihiko.''


Ash: Here's the first chapter! I had limited time and there were things that came up, so I had it done in two days, but it was pretty short! What do you think?

Rima: No good. Why am I with him? -Rima's face - -_-''

Ash: -sweatdrops- Uhhgh... -My soul escapes from my body melodramatically- `Says in a ghastly voice- sorry for constantly changing povs...I'm such a bad author...`

Temari: Come back to us! D:

Nagi: -sweatdrops as well- Eheheh.. Please review her story! And yes, why indeed? ^_^

Rima: See, this is why we can't be friends.

Nagi: o_O?
