Love's A Crossdresser

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara! of any kind...

Okay, I'm starting this just so I can get it out of the way. I'll continue my other ones, so don't worry. Okay?

Nagihiko watched another day as he saw Kukai splash another slushy ontop of Nadeshiko. It was ridiculous! Why Nadeshiko let her bully since third grade keep doing this to her? Nagihiko had no idea. He watched from afar as he tried making his way past all the laughing students. Really, these kids were so insensitive to a girl's feelings. It angered him.

"Nade-nee? You alright?" Nagihiko asked his older sister by three minutes and forty-seven seconds who was too busy wiping off the cheery flavored slushy off her clothes to notice Nagihiko. His hazel eyes observed Nadeshiko as she sniffled, running her fingers through her long, violet hair.

"I need a sink..." she whispered as she looked straight at Nagihiko. He frowned. Nagihiko could tell that Nadeshiko was trying so hard to cry infront of everyone. Everyone who was still laughing. "Or...maybe a shower..." Nadeshiko said to herself.

"Uh...you need a life." A random girl passing by said. Nagihiko glared at the pretty blonde, pony tailed female senior who made that comment. He furiously watched as she giggled with her friends. Her lavender eyes illuminating with devious tricks.

"She does have a life." Nagihiko back fired. "One that doesn't consist herself in a position to where she fucks every guy in the school!" Nagihiko added. The blonde gaped at Nagihiko, obviously offended by his true comment. Now, everyone was laughing and pointing fingers at her. "Bitch..." Nagihiko mummered as he grabbed Nadeshiko's hand and led her to the girls bathroom. He walked in with her and turned around. His hazel eyes showing concern for his older sister. "Are you okay?" he asked in a soft whisper. Nadeshiko looked at him through a mirror as she ran the hot water through her blouse she took off.

"Yeah... I'm fine!" Nadeshiko said, smiling. Nagihiko sighed, reading through her smile easily.

"Sure..." he mummered under his breath as he continued watching Nadeshiko clean her blouse. It looked like she was getting out most of the color. "Was it cherry?" Nagihiko asked. Nadeshiko glared at Nagihiko through the mirror.

"Yes..." she hissed, her eyes burning with anger and irritation. "It is cherry. It's been cherry for the past three days." Nadeshiko added with a grunt. Nagihiko only held his hands up innocently as he gave Nadeshiko the puppy face.

"Okay, okay." Nagihiko said. "..But Nade-nee, why don't you stand up to people? And most of all, Souma?" Nagihiko asked as he inspected Nadeshiko's hair. Just then, girls walked inside the bathroom.

"KYAA!" a girl with auburn hair screamed. Her autumn eyes showed fright as she ran out. Nagihiko chuckled.

"Girls..." he said. He smiled and looked back at Nadeshiko. His smile disappeared in an instant. He watched as light tears flowed down Nadeshiko's cheeks. Staining her angelic face with that of a little child. "Nadeshiko?" Nagihiko asked as he walked closer to Nadeshiko.

"...I-I can't..." Nadeshiko whispered as she covered her face with her elbow, the water still running. She dropped her blouse. "I can't stand up to people. To them, I'm just some kinda' shy junior..." Nadeshiko croaked. Nagihiko dropped his head as he looked to the floor. Disappointed in himself for not protecting Nadeshiko as much as he wanted. "Some junior who goes through billions of white blouses because I'm dumped with slushies everyday!" Nadeshiko sniffled. "P-please wash my blouse for me..." Nadeshiko said as she ran out of the bathroom, leaving Nagihiko to do what she had asked him for.

"I suck..." Nagihiko mummered to himself he continued Nadeshiko's little favor. He hated seeing Nadeshiko cry more than anything. He felt weak and pathetic. If he couldn't protect Nadeshiko from sadness, then what use was he for her? Nadeshiko had protected him from everything when they were kids. Why can't I do the same? Nagihiko thought as he heard himself sigh. There had to be something he could do.

"Sorry... Nadeshiko-nee." Nagihiko apologized. "The stain... It won't come out." Nagihiko said as he took her blouse out. Nadeshiko gaped from her classroom door.

"Th-the h-hell is that!?" Nadeshiko whispered as she gently took the blouse from Nagihiko. Inspecting the huge cherry stain that was there. Where is shouldn't be. Nagihiko chuckled.

"I...thought white stuff took out everything." Nagihiko confessed.

"White stuff?" Nadeshiko asked. "What white stuff?"

"Oh...the schools flour and sugar... And... What was it called in science class? Oh yeah! That white liquid! Bleach?" Nagihiko replied. Nadeshiko gaped at her brother.

"B-bleach? White bleach? That was bleach we turned into white in chemistry class, Nagi." Nadeshiko explained. You cant bleach this!" Nadeshiko added with a sigh. Nagihiko winced at his sisters brutal tone. "I'll just go buy another blouse..." Nadeshiko mummered as she folded her blouse. Her eyes hint that of sadness.

"I'll do it!" Nagihiko said as he snatched her blouse away. "See ya Nade!" Nagihiko rambled as he ran away, leaving a confused Nadeshiko in her classroom. I'll just skip class today... Nagihiko thought to himself as he ran out of the building.

School had ended almost two hours ago and Nadeshiko still hadn't found Nagihiko.

"Where is he!?" Nadeshiko asked herself as she looked around the empty school building. "He still has my blouse." Nadeshiko told herself as she huffed, remembering being dunked by the slushy earlier today. She shuddered. That wasn't pleasant.

"You're sad." Nadeshiko looked behind her to see who was the person who said that.

"Huh?" she said. She saw Kukai as he grinned at her, having another slushy in his hand.

"Missed me?" he asked as he splashed the thing on her. Nadeshiko flinched as she could taste the flavor she hated most. Lemon. Coughing, Nadeshiko spitted out the flavor. She heard Kukai laugh at her.

"Ahahahahaha!" Kukai roared in laughter as he held his gut. Trying to keep himself from crying. "Oh, your face is so funny! Ahhh..." Kukai sighed, trying not to laugh. Or continue his laughter. Looking at Nadeshiko's face, he bursted out in laughter again. "Ahahahahahhahahaha!" Kukai grinned to himself as he watched Nadeshiko try to clean her hair out with her fingers. Which, her fingers ended up finding sweet, sticky stuff, practically gluing it all together. "You're too sad!" Kukai commented.

Nadeshiko, on the other hand, couldn't help let tears run down her cheeks. "Why?" Nadeshiko whispered, loud enough for Kukai to hear. Scoffing, Kukai looked into Nadeshiko's eyes.

He found himself tongue-tied. Huge lumps in his throat. Knots tying together to keep him from speaking.

Why was she crying!? "Uh..." Kukai said. After all the years he's known her, this would probably be the first time he has seen her cry. "I...." Kukai tried saying again. Nadeshiko continued looking at Kukai with eyes that started to turn red and puffy. "I...gotta go!" Kukai said as he ran away from her. Maybe....strawberry's a better flavor?

:::::::

Nadeshiko wiped her tears away. "I hate him!!!" she yelled at no one. It had been precisely seven minutes since that little encounter just now. Nadeshiko covered her puffy eyes to keep her from crying. The beat of her heart pounded louder than a drum from exhaustion and frustration. "N-now I need to wash....my hair again." Nadeshiko whispered to herself as she looked through her hair.

It was a horrible and sweet mess. Just perfect.

"Nade-nee? I bought you a new blouse..." Nagihiko said as he entered Nadeshiko's room. Nadeshiko looked over at Nagihiko from her side of the room. Smiling, Nadeshiko took the eleven blouses Nagihiko bought for her. "Nadeshiko..." Nagihiko started to say. Nadeshiko looked at her younger twin.

"What is it?" Nadeshiko asked sweetly, avoiding the sadness she felt from earlier today. But, these eleven blouses were enough to make her smile.

"I've been thinking about things... And I realized I haven't been a dependable brother. So, from now on, I promise. I promise to always protect you." Nagihiko grabbed one of Nadeshiko's hands and held it in his own. "I'll make sure no one hurts you again..." Nagihiko stated. Nadeshiko smiled, elated that her twin would make such a statement to her like that.

"Thank you..." Nadeshiko said. Nagihiko grinned. He loved her smile. It reminded him if....him.

"No problem! Well, night Nadeshiko-nee." Nagihiko said as he crawled inside his own bed on his own side of the room. Nagihiko was going to protect Nadeshiko with everything he's got.

And stretch to any length just to do that.

Nagihiko stood from the hallways side next to Nadeshiko, discussing school prep matters. "Nade-nee... We should do a sporty theme... It's exciting and hip-hop."

"No..." Nadeshiko disagreed. "We should do a dancing theme. It can be calm, and graceful." Nadeshiko remarked. Nagihiko only scowled. From the corner of Nadeshiko's hazel eyes, she watched Kukai approach her.

With a slushy in his possession.

Nadeshiko closed her eyes tightly. Waiting for the cold and sweet drink to splash all over her. Nagihiko looked to his left and glared at the tanned boy. Waiting for him to throw the slushy all over Nadeshiko's blouse that he had just bought for her. If that bastard even thinks he can splash Nade-nee today... I'm gonna twist his little partner and---

"I'm sorry." he apologized. Nadeshiko's eyes snapped open as both Nadeshiko and Nagihiko stepped back. What? What this another trick?

"Huh?" Nagihiko asked, suspicious of his suddenly nice behavior after yesterday. Kukai looked back at Nadeshiko, avoiding Nagihiko's raised brows.

"I'm sorry about yesterday... M-making you cry..." Kukai confessed. A few students surrounded the three. Was Souma Kukai really apologizing to Fujisaki Nadeshiko? "S-so...here..." Kukai handed Nadeshiko his slushie. "It's strawberry." Kukai added. "You like strawberry, right?" Kukai asked as he handed Nadeshiko his slushy. Nagihiko took note of this sudden action. And, how the hell did Kukai know that Nadeshiko really, really, really liked strawberry?

"Th-thank you?" Nadeshiko asked. Nagihiko could tell that she was also confused. He turned to see her face.

Pink cheeks!?

P-pink cheeks!? Nagihiko thought as his eyes widened in horror. Why was Nade-nee blushing!? He turned back to look at Kukai. Blushing!? Nagi thought as he gaped at the two. Was...something missing? Was Nagihiko missing out on something? Was there a little mis-communication going on around here!? "Uh....Nade-nee..." Nagihiko said out of the blue. "Th-this...way..." he said cautiously as he pulled Nadeshiko by her arm. "Amu-chan wants you..." Nagihiko said. Nadeshiko only nodded her head as she forced herself to tear her eyes away from Kukai's.

"Green. His eyes are green." Nadeshiko said out of nowhere. Nagihiko looked at Nadeshiko as if she was ill.

"Wha?" Nagihiko asked. Hoping that he hoped wasn't going on.

"There's a nice tint of blue in there." Nadeshiko added. Nagihiko felt his stomach do flips. He really hoped that nothing was going on.

Or he'd fail as a brother. In less than twenty-four hours.

Nadeshiko walked out of her art class with Nagihiko by her side. "Really..." Nadeshiko offered. "You don't have to punch every guy who walks into my perimeter of space Nagi." Nadeshiko giggled hesitantly. "You'll get into trouble..." Nagihiko only smiled at Nadeshiko.

" 'Nah..it's okay..." Nagihiko said. There, by Nadeshiko's locker, was Kukai. Nagihiko glared at the brunette boy as he started to walk up towards him. He probably had a hidden slushy beside him. Just waiting to splash it all over Nadeshiko. Well... I'm not gonna let that happen. Nagihiko told himself. Nadeshiko held Nagihiko by his arms.

"N-Nagi... Can you go find Amu-chan real quick?" Nadeshiko asked. "I-I need to tell her something. You know, she didn't look like she was feeling well today..." Nadeshiko reasoned. Nagihiko looked over at Nadeshiko.

"Fine, but don't approach him." Nagi warned as he went searching for a pink haired chick. "Amu?" Nagihiko asked out loud. He didn't have to look very far. She was just a few feet away from him. Heh... I can just bring Nadeshiko-nee over here... Nagihiko thought as he smiled, turning around. He jogged back to where he left Nadeshiko. "Nade-nee?" he called out. Where was she?

"So...wanna go out?" Nagi's ears caught something interesting. He looked for who's ever voice he had heard.

"...okay. I guess it's fine then." Nagi's heart almost stopped. That was Nadeshiko's voice! Who in the blue hell had in their mind, the courage to ask Nadeshiko out without his permission!? This kid obviously wanted to get socked. Growling, Nagi looked and spotted Nadeshiko in the quickest. He watched her as she smiled. More, uniquely happier than usual. A smile crawled its way to Nagihiko's face. Well, whoever that person was, was able to make Nadeshiko smile. And smile like that. Maybe Nagihiko could accept that person. "Kukai."

Nagi's eyes widened in fear and utter horror. Why was Nadeshiko smiling at Kukai!? Of all people!? Kukai?

Nade-nee!? What's wrong with you!? Don't fall for his tricks! It's all lies! What if he's playing with your feelings!? Nagihiko wanted to cry all that out. But, he was torn on watching Nadeshiko smile, and or breaking that smile if he said that. This, wasn't good at all. Clenching his fists, Nagihiko decided to eavesdrop on the rest of the conversation.

"So, Maple Cafe at three on Saturday?" Kukai asked Nadeshiko. Nadeshiko only smiled as she nodded her head.

"I'd like that." she said. Nagihiko pressed his fist close to his mouth to keep him from screaming. He needed to go somewhere. Anywhere.

"Dammit..." he whispered as he walked away. Nagihiko was furious with himself! He wasn't able to keep the two from dating. Dammit... He just thought of that now!? Just great...

"Nagi?" Nagihiko looked up to the person who called his name. His eyes lit up as he saw Amu. A frail and sickly Amu. She coughed. Idea.... Nagi smiled sweetly at Amu. "What are you doing?" Amu asked as she looked Nagi's way.

"Amu-chan..." Nagihiko smiled sweetly. He brought a chocolate he had been eating during class out of his pocket. Unwrapping it, he offered Amu some.

"Oh..no..I'm si--" Amu started to say. Nagihiko cut her off.

"I'm not offering. I want you to cough on this as hard as you can." Nagihiko said. Amu looked at Nagihiko strangely. What the hell was he talking about? "Please...cough on it now, Amu-chan." Nagihiko repeated. Amu shook her head. She had a bad feeling. And it was growing every second by just standing near Nagi. Nagihiko only smiled as he pat Amu on the back.

Roughly.

She started coughing. "My, Amu-chan..." Nagihiko said. "You need to cough all that cough out." Nagihiko suggested as he formed his hand into a fist. He was literally pounding the life out of Amu. And Amu looked like she was going to choke soon.

"N-Nagi!?" Amu coughed. Unaware that she was coughing on the chocolate Nagihiko was still holding infront of her. "S-stop!" Amu cried. Nagihiko stopped. Wheezing, Amu ran from Nagihiko. Nagihiko only scoffed. He turned back and headed to Nadeshiko.

"Nade-nee!" Nagihiko shouted. Nadeshiko turned his way.

"Yes?" Nadeshiko asked. "What is it?" Nagihiko smiled.

"Would you like some chocolate?" Nagihiko asked as he offered Nadeshiko the chocolate. Nadeshiko looked at the delicious treat.

"Yes! Thank you!" Nadeshiko cheered as she took the chocolate.

Don't worry... Nagihiko told himself. I wont let anyone hurt you... Nade-nee. Nagihiko smiled. No one was going to play Nadeshiko's feelings.

Nagihiko smiled that Saturday when he knew Nadeshiko was sick. "Nade-nee, whatever plans you have today... Cancel them..." Nagihiko said. Nadeshiko, who was laying in bed, was to tired to answer. She only nodded her head. Her eyes slowly fluttering closed.

Nagihiko checked to make sure if she was fully asleep.

"Yes!" he cheered in a soft voice. He ran over to Nadeshiko's closet and picked out a pair of loose jeans and a black blouse. He tied his hair into a side pony tail and curled little bits of it. "Done." Nagihiko said as he slipped on one of Nadeshiko's black stilettos and one of Nadeshiko's leather purses. He looked just like Nadeshiko. Despite the chest, but who was going to notice? Looking at the time, Nagihiko walked out the house.

As Nadeshiko.

He took the bus all the way down town to Maple Cafe. Because, walking in heels? That was a pain killer itself. Arriving there, Nagihiko spotted Kukai. He grinned devilishly. Nagihiko was so sure that Kukai was going to be playing with Nadeshiko's feelings if she was here. So, to save her the pain and sadness, why not take her place?

"Kukai!" Nagihiko voiced as Nadeshiko. He waved his hand in the air. Kukai spotted 'Nadeshiko' and smiled.

"You're here..." Kukai said. Nagihiko nodded his head.

"Let's go in!" he offered.

What a sucker.

Lalalala~~! Boy, Nagihiko sure does go to extreme lengths for Nadeshiko's heart. So sweet! In, a creepy way.
