Ryoko – Okay, I just HAD to do this one-shot, it's very short!

Rima – Ha-ha, based on?

Ryoko – Hmmm, it doesn't really suit it, but Kuzumu.

Rima – Kusukusu! Rhythm's coming after you! RUUUN!


I sat alone in the rain if I skeptically looked up into the sky, and thought about my life, one word would come to my mind. . The only word that could ever describe my life. I was numb with pain... But why was this pain hurting me? That was because this numbness, and pain was caused by my family, I used to live in a nice home with everyone else, with Rima, mom, and dad…

But now, I live this lonely life I still remember that one night… waiting for my boyfriend to come and comfort me, but in the end, nobody came.

I chose the path to become a person, who stays alone for eternity, knowing that this life I'd left behind would haunt me forever…

I heard footsteps echo behind me, and I pulled out a dagger from my pocket, but then dropped it remembering I'd rather die, than live this life forever.

I stood up, and picked up the dagger, I got ready to stab myself.

I felt someone embrace me from behind.

"Don't do it Kusukusu..." a voice begged.

I looked back over my shoulder to see a boy with long blue hair.

"Rhythm?" I asked.

"Kusukusu, why'd you run away from home?" Rhythm asked.

"I don't know anymore…" I said crying into his chest.

Rhythm tightened his grip on me. I was wandering the streets alone, but now I end up in the arms of the man I loved most. Swallowing in regret of leaving, I looked up at Rhythm. His eyes were full of worry, and regret.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me Kusukusu," he said. "I left you for so long…"

I smiled softly, and he crashed his lips against mine. My eyes widened in shock, and Rhythm pulled away. He held me in his arms silently for a little while longer, and then he muttered something.

"What's that Rhythm?" I asked in a muffled voice.

"Is there anything I can do to make up for what I didn't do but should have done?" Rhythm asked.

"Yes," I nodded.

"What?" Rhythm asked softly.

"Hold me tight, and never let go…" I replied.

The two of us stood there in the pouring rain. I knew I could trust Rhythm… he never broke a promise… he always made up for something he couldn't do in the past. He would always do something to make a change in the future…

I know if he said he won't let go, he won't let go, or leave me alone ever again.


Ryoko – Why I cry at such things, I know not.

Rima – You wimp…

Ryoko – It's sad!

Rima – Pssh!

Ryoko – Or is it because you wanted it to be Rimahiko? –Wipes tears-

Rima – … no!Oh, why is it called Immortal Flowers?

Ryoko - Because, immortal flower is a symbol of unfading remembrance, and Rhythm never forgot about Kusukusu now did he?

Rima - And you know how to read flowers how?

Ryoko - I just do....
