This fanfiction is about Rimahiko (I am obsessed with this couple x3) and I beg all of you fanfic writers that support Rimahiko to please write a fanfic about them! There are not a lot of Rimahiko fanfics so please *begs on knees*!
The characters might be a little OOC (sorry D;). And it might not be so good because this is my first fanfic, but I tried my best, so please read!
Anyways…this takes place sometime after episode 62 =] (near Christmas)!
Oh! And I don't own Shugo Chara! or Shugo Chara Doki!.
BZZZT! BZZ!
"Hm?" A petite girl with butterscotch-blond locks picked up her vibrating phone. There was a new text message from Amu, her first and only best friend.
Rima, if u don't have n e thing 2 do tomorrow, do u want 2 go X-mas shopping in the shopping center we went 2 last week w/ Nagihiko? We only have 3 days left 'til X-mas (not including today) D: ! And d/w! I'll try 2 make sure he doesn't come ^_^.
Rima texted her best friend back.
Sure ^^ and he better not come -.-
Rima was clearly Amu's second best friend. Amu's first best friend was Rima's rival, her enemy, and that person was Fujisaki Nadeshiko. Rima had enough evidence to prove that Nagihiko was Nadeshiko (On the other hand, Amu was too thick-headed to know that [no offense Amu D;], however…that's a different story). She really despised his guts, so of course she asked for Nagihiko not to come, but the next day…
-----
-The Next Day (Dec. 23) The Shopping Center-
…well…….he showed up.
"I thought Fujisaki wasn't coming!" Rima whispered angrily to Amu.
"Sorry Rima. Nagihiko asked me if he could come and it would be rude to turn him down." Amu whispered back.
"He probably came just to bug me" Rima thought.
"We can't do anything about it now since he's already here."
Rima pouted, "Okay…"
"What are you guys doing?" A boy with long, dark hair whispered, joining Rima and Amu's huddle.
"None of your unnecessary business, CROSSDRESSER!" Rima said in a cold way.
Rima's cold statement hurt, especially the last word. That last word really pissed Nagihiko off and caused the two glare at each other with a deadly aura. "Cross…dresser?" Amu had no idea what Rima was talking about.
Then a light blue spark started to form in the space between their eyes. "AHH! Wait! Wait! We can solve this! Uh, don't get angry at each other!" Amu looked around to find anything that could help them calm down. "Ah!" She spotted a small, cheap-looking tent (like the ones in flea markets, but smaller) with a cardboard sign at the top (A/N: I don't know how he put a sign on a tent, but it's there!), which said: "Relationship problems? Don't worry--We can fix them!" The owner was a short old man that seemed wise. Amu grabbed her best friends by their wrists and dragged them to the old man's shop.
"Excuse me, Mr. uhh…," Amu looked at his name tag. "…Lee? My friends need help."
"What's wrong?" The old man questioned the girl with the cotton candy-pink hair.
"They just don't get along and really, really they dislike each other."
"Oh, well, bring them here."
Amu gently pushed her two friends, who were still staring at each other with glares full of hatred, in front of the old man. "Ah, I see. I know exactly what to do." The owner opened a medium-sized case that was lying on the floor of the small shop. He picked up something inside from the box. The item was woven out of bamboo, pretty long, and sort of had the shape of a skinny cylinder. The ends of the object had one hole each, so there were two holes in total. The old man grabbed Rima's right hand and Nagihiko's left without them noticing (because they were occupied with glaring at each other). He stuck one end to Nagihiko's index finger on his left hand and the other end to Rima's thumb on her right hand (because her index finger was too skinny to let the object to stay on).
"Hm? What's that?"
"This is a Chinese Finger Trap. Don't worry, it won't hurt them."
The old man raised his hand over the Chinese finger trap and started to say something in Chinese, "听见这个不可思议的咒语： 您二将得到，或者您不可能从这个陷井逃脱。 如果您得到，则咒语将消失，并且您二再次自由。(= Hears this inconceivable incantation: You two will obtain, or you impossible to escape from this trap. If you obtain, then the incantation will vanish, and you two once more free. Basically=Hear this magic spell: You two shall get along, or else neither of you can escape from this trap. If you get along, then the spell will disappear and you two shall be free once again. [Thank you DarkCat5648 for translating it better :D])"
"Hm? What was that?" Amu asked.
"Oh, that was just a special magic spell that only works when I say it in Chinese."
"Uh…okay, but how will this work?"
"You'll see… And what will happen is worth it, so you don't need to pay anything." The old man snickered.
"Huh?" Amu slightly titled her head to the side, not knowing what will happen to her two best friends. "Anyways, thank you!"
"Anytime."
-----
"Come on guys! We still have Christmas shopping to do." Amu said, trying to break the tension.
"Sure, Amu-chan. We shouldn't fight near Christmas, right Mashiro-san?" Nagihiko brightened up, still not noticing that his finger was trapped with Rima's thumb.
"Whatever…" Rima pouted, who also didn't notice the Chinese finger trap.
Amu was walking ahead with Rima and Nagihiko trailing behind her.
People they passed looked at them and started to giggle and whisper to their friends.
"Huh? Amu-chan, Why are they looking at us?" Nagihiko asked Amu.
"They aren't looking at me, they're looking at you and Rima."
"Why?" Rima questioned.
"Hm…I guess it's because they think you two are a couple." Amu guessed, scratching the back of her head..
"Eh?" Rima leaned eavesdropped into a conversation of a few people walking past them.
"Oh, look at those two!" A tall brunette pointed to Rima and Nagihiko.
"Kyaa! They look so cute together!" The girl with a long ponytail exclaimed in some kind of fan girl style.
"Ara?" A girl with short, curly hair looked at Rima and whispered to her friends "Doesn't it look like the girl is glaring at us?"
The conversation made Rima blush. "WHAT!? HOW DO WE LOOK LIKE A COUPLE!?" Rima exclaimed.
"Well, you guys kind of look like you're holding hands…" Amu continued walking.
"EH!?" Rima and Nagihiko noticed that their fingers were trapped together. "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!?" they said in unison again, pointing at the Chinese Finger Trap with their free hands.
"Ara? You don't remember?" Amu stopped walking. "Since you two looked like you were going to fight, I brought you to this one small shop that fix any relationship."
"YOU WHAT!?" Rima and Nagihiko screamed at the top of their lungs and once again, at the same time.
Rima glared at Nagihiko. "Stop saying what I'm saying."
"Hey! Wait! I didn't finish yet!" The girl with the pink hair continued her story to stop them from glaring at each other. "The owner of the shop put that thing on your fingers. Uh…um……I think he called it a.. Chinese f-finger…..trap. Got it! A Chinese finger trap! Well, anyways, he cast a magic spell in Chinese, but I don't know what he said. I'm not sure how it will help you guys though. Uh, sorry." Amu tried to apologize with a small smile. "But no need to worry because it was free. Heh he…" Amu tried to brighten up the mood/situation, but it didn't help at all. An anime-style sweat drop was slowly sliding down her face as she was scratching the back of her head.
As soon as Amu finished, Rima trudged to the craft store. "Mashiro-san! Wait! Your pulling on my finger!" Nagihiko exclaimed. Amu followed behind Nagihiko.
-----
- The Craft Store-
Rima grabbed a pair of scissors from the sowing section and walked over to the cashier. "Excuse me, may I borrow these? Don't worry, I'll return it."
"Uh…s-sure." The cashier didn't know what to do.
Rima put her slender fingers in the holes of the scissors and put the finger trap in between the blades. "W-w-wait Mashiro-san! You're going to cut my finger off!" Nagihiko tried to run away, but Rima kept him in his place.
"I don't care." Rima told the boy with long, dark hair. Nagihiko sweat-dropped, anime-style.
Rima brought the blades closer together by cutting the trap. SHING! (A/N: Sorry, I don't know a good onomatopoeia for this ^ ^;;) The magic spell deflected the scissors, but Rima kept trying until she gave up, which was after about 100 tries. She returned the scissors to its original place, pulling Nagihiko along with her.
-----
-Outside of Craft Store-
"Maybe if we pull, this finger trap will slide off our fingers." Nagihiko suggested.
Then Rima and Nagihiko began pulling and pulling. One time Rima held onto a tree while Nagehiko ran the farthest he could with the Chinese trap locked on their fingers, which wasn't very far. Only about one foot and a half from Rima's thumb to Nagihiko's index finger. Nothing worked. They could only stretch one foot and a half from each other.
"Oh! I know!" Amu had a glowing light bulb above her head. "Ms. Nobuko Saeki had one of these on her show!"
"You watch that show?" Rima said in a what-the-heck tone.
"No! No! My family does! Except me! I just…uh…..they……" The pink-haired girl's head dropped (not from her body!) with depression lines slowly sliding down. Amu couldn't think of a good excuse. EPIC FAIL. "Well, anyways! Ms. Nobuko had one of those things in her T.V. shows! She said to take it off your fingers, you have to relax. Then, when you are relaxed, you can take them off!" Amu explained the situation to her two best friends.
"We can give it a try." Nagihiko didn't want to give up just yet.
"Sure…" Rima just wanted to get away from Nagihiko.
Then Rima and Nagihiko relaxed and then tried to pull when they were fully settled, they tried to pull. Failed. They tried again. It failed. And again. Failed…again. Basically, everything they did failed.
"Nothing works. We should just deal with it. I think its 'spell' will wear off at the end of the day." Nagihiko gave up.
"Okay, but I'm not liking it!" Rima gave in. "Maybe it won't be so bad to live with him just for a day" Rima thought.
"Yeah, we should just return Christmas shopping before all of the stores close." Amu said.
-----
-Now X-mas Shopping-
"Fujisaki," Rima calmly stated, "close your eyes and cover your ears if you can. Amu will help me buy your gift."
Nagihiko obeyed Rima's orders and closed his eyes and covered his ears (A/N: Yes, it is possible to cover both of his ears even when his finger is attached to Rima's thumb. Rima just won't be able to use her right hand so much).
/Nagihiko POV/
I could tell that I looked stupid in front of the other customers in the store Rima went to, with my eyes closed and my ears covered with my hands (in addition, having it connected to Rima's right hand with a weird looking trinket), but I didn't care…even if I was stumbling…..and being pulled by a tiny, little girl and……it looked like I was acting like a little kid screaming "No! I don't want to!" to his mom who was forcing her child go shopping with her……. Okay, so maybe I did care a teensy, weensy bit. Anyways, I wondered what Rima would get for my present, but that would have to wait until Christmas.
Even with my ears covered, I could hear, but the sounds weren't so clear and I could only make out a few sentences:
"You sure you want to get his present here?" Most likely, it was Amu who said that.
And… "Rima, you really want to give him this!?" I couldn't really tell who said that, but it was probablyAmu.
Then… "Can you wrap this up please?" Mashiro-san, of course. For some reason I can recognize her voice better than Amu's (which is weird because she's my best friend) and anyone else's voice.
The last thing I could make out was…KA-CHING!!Which was, obviously, the cash register.
From the things I heard, Mashiro's gift was probably really cheap or really, really expensive.
By now, Amu and Mashiro were probably already out of the store and were walking around somewhere else so that I couldn't find out where Mashiro got my gift because I sensed the soft snow on the ground as I was being hauled by the petite girl.
I felt small hands touch mine. The hands belonged to Mashiro-san, I knew because they felt light and bony. Even in this cold weather, they were warm. Then for some reason, when Mashiro's hands were over mine, I-I don't know why….but I…..blushed. She grabbed my hands and took them off my ears.
"Amu wants to buy you're present now so keep you're eyes closed and cover you're ears. Okay, Na-," Mashiro seemed to make a mistake in her sentence and was on hiatus for a while, "…I mean Fujisaki…."
"Okay, Mashiro-san!" I smiled, still keeping my eyes closed. I felt silly talking and smiling with my eyes closed, but I just felt like I should smile at her.
/Rima POV/
I can't believe Fujisaki actually followed my orders (of covering his eyes and closing his eyes) throughout the whole time I was buying his present and even the time Amu and I were walking out of the store. I placed my hands over his, ready to pull them off of his ears. I felt butterflies in my stomach. His hands felt firm, warm, and so strong that I could trust him to protect me from any harm…but it's not like I care or anything. I noticed his face was pink; he was probably getting cold from the weather. That's weird though... How can he be so cold, when his hands were so warm? Well, I shouldn't waste anymore time. So I removed his hands from his ears.
"Amu wants to buy you're present now so keep you're eyes closed and cover you're ears. Okay, Na-," Oops… I almost said his first name, but I can't! "Why?" you ask. Well, we're enemies, rivals, foes. But still! I can't believe I almost said it. I could tell I was blushing right now. Phew! It was a good thing that his eyes were closed, or else he would question me about my blush. Huh? Why was I blushing anyway!? I don't like him!!! Stop blushing Rima! I tried my best to control myself from blushing. I remembered I was still talking to Fujisaki, so I corrected myself quickly, "…I mean Fujisaki…."
"Okay, Mashiro-san!" Fujisaki gave me a heart-warming smile. My heart skipped a beat and I started blushing more than I did before. Now I know why I was blushing, why I felt butterlies, and why my heart was pounding faster than normal. It all added up to one answer. To control my blush, heart beat, and the butterflies I turned my head away from his face. I hate you Fujisaki Nagihiko…for stealing my heart.
I hoped you liked it xD! Sorry if you didn't *grows emo mushrooms in a dark corner* TT^TT… But that's okay *fully recovered from depression* because this is my first fanfic after all :D! Oh, and sorry it's short D:!
Anyways stay tuned for the next chapter =]! R&R (this is my first so it's okay to give good and bad reviews)!
List of some stuff I typed in fanfic that you might not understand/know:
d/w (in the text message from Amu) - shortcut for "Don't Worry"
Flea Market Tents -I might post a picture of one in a link in my profile
Chinese Finger Trap - you can see a picture of one in my profile (I'll post it up there in a link)
Sewing Section - sometimes craft stores have a section where you can sew stuff and scissors will be just lying there so you can cut the string or cut other sewing stuff (I only heard of a sewing section before [I never really seen one], so it might not exist. Sorry if it's not real at all xP.)
Depression lines - the purple-ish, blue-ish lines that appear in the background or on a character's head most likely when they are depressed (If I can find a picture of a character with the lines, I'll post it in my profile in a link.)
