So this is my first fanfiction ever! I hope you enjoy it! :D

Disclaimer: I don't own Shugo Chara or any of the characters that I use.

" So then it is decided?" Tadase asked after looking over a list of things that needed to be bought.

"YESH!!" Yaya exclaimed.

"Okay," Amu chirped.

"Sounds good to me," Nagihiko replied.

"Whatever," I said in a bored voice, sipping on tea.

It was a normal day at the guardians' meeting in the Royal Garden. I observed the guardians that

surrounded me. Tadase was arguing with Kiseki, his shugo chara, about the items needed for the back-to-school festival that would happen in two weeks.

"We need many balloons! And streamers! And lights! We need to show these commoners the way that a king can plan and decorate a lavish festival!!" Kiseki proclaimed, laughing maniacally.

"But Kiseki," started Tadase, looking over the list yet again, "we have to think about the budget that we have and the other things that we still need. And besides, what's so lavish about a back-to-school festival?"

Yaya was busy scarfing down on cookies and cakes like there was no tomorrow. I was amazed at how many sweets this person could eat and still NOT be over-weight. I was reminded very much of a certain character in the anime series, Death Note, except this person was much, much, MUCH hyper when given candy, and rather use her brain to annoy others rather than catch criminals.

Amu and Nagihiko were talking about I don't know what and laughing. I felt a faint, familiar feeling of jealousy while watching these two. I considered Amu to be my best friend, after everything she helped me through when I first moved here to Seiyo Elementary and when Nagihiko suddenly joined the picture, I felt like I was being replaced. Amu assured me that this was not the case and that I was her best friend, but still, I didn't like the feeling those two gave when they were together.

And then there was Nagihiko. There was something about him that I didn't like. When I first met him, I acted mean and cold to him but these days, I was merely indifferent. He would still act nice to me, but then again, he acts nice to everyone! I guess it was his personality that got to me, being able to be so friendly and get along with everyone, ugh. And his hair! A boy's hair should not be more luscious than mine!

"Now all we need to do is decide who is going to go with who so that we can buy all the items in time." Tadase said. "I asked Kukai to come and help us so that we could go in pairs-"

"Kukai is coming?!!" Yaya asked excitedly. "Yaya is so happy!!"

"Well then, I guess you can go with Kukai, Yaya-chan" Tadase replied, smiling. "Umm…Amu?"

"Umm..yea?" She asked, suddenly blushing.

"…Do you want to go with me shopping tomorrow then to get the other set of supplies we need?" He asked shyly, blushing too.

"O-Oh! Umm, yea sure, sounds cool." She answered, turning away, regaining some of her cool and spicy attitude known throughout the whole school, although I could still see a faint blush playing on her cheeks. Which meant…

"Looks like it's just you and me then, Rima-chan," Nagihiko stated, smiling at me.

Damn. "I guess if I have to." I replied nonchalantly, looking away. It's just shopping, I thought, but still, why is this all of a sudden starting to make me feel a little uncomfortable? Oh well, at least I can make him carry the bags since he's so nice and all.

"I guess that's all for today then." Tadase concluded, starting to organize papers.

"Yay!! Yaya can go home now and eat more sweets now!!""

"Umm..Yaya you already ate almost all the sweets here." Amu said, sweatdropping.

"That's not compared to what Yaya usually eats!!" She bursted.

Yea, I don't even want to know, I thought. All that I wanted to do right now was to go home and curl up in my sofa to watch my favorite comedy shows on TV. Recently I've been noticing that I've been feeling more tired than usual lately and today was no exception. It was probably because of the guardian meetings and the fights that my parents usually had.

I sighed as I picked up my school bag and I felt Kusukusu come up to me and exclaim happily, "Let's go home Rima before we miss our favorite shows!"

"Okay." I replied smiling at her, before I ran off to see who would be the one picking me up from school today.

Yea, that was probably it.

"It's your fault that you were late to work today!!"

"No!! It's your fault because it was your turn to leave Rima at school today and I had to be the one to leave her instead!"

The clamor caused by my parents continued on downstairs while I remained curled up in a ball in my bed.

"Rima..." Kusukusu said softly, looking worriedly at me.

But it wasn't what was happening downstairs that was causing me to have such noticeable pain.

I clutched my head with my hands and cried out, as I felt as though my head was going to split in half.

"Rima…let's go tell your parents!" She said hurriedly, pulling on my sleeve, trying to drag me to the door.

"No!" I cried out, shaking her off. I cried silently as I waited for the pain to pass, lying down on my bed, still holding my head between my hands. I really didn't want to be more of a burden by complaining to my parents about a simple headache. Although I had to admit it wasn't as simple as I thought anymore. Just as I've been feeling more tired recently, I've also started to get these annoying headaches. But it wasn't like normal headaches where one could usually ignore it. It was such agonizing headaches up to the point where I couldn't even figure out what was going on around me and all I could do was clutch my head and pray for it to be all over. Usually they happened at night and during the times my parents fought so I was able to cry all that I wanted without being heard. But I knew this couldn't go on forever. I didn't know what to do anymore.

"It's okay Kusukusu, don't worry, I'm okay." I said, through cries of pain.

Kusukusu continued to look worriedly at me, but then I felt her cover me with a blanket near me.

"Thank you." I said, giving her a small, pained smile. I closed my eyes, and with my hands still clutching my head, I tried to fall into that deep unconsciousness where I could escape the pain known as sleep.

"Rima…" was the last thing I heard Kusukusu say before I felt engulfed by total blackness.

I hope you enjoyed it and thought it wasn't that bad _ Believe it or not, this is actually my first piece of written work where it wasn't required or something, like essays for school, college applications, scholarships, research papers, etc xD These two weeks I'll update pretty fast, but after I move in and start college, I won't be able to so much. But for now, I will :)

I'm going to try really hard to not make the characters ooc so hopefully in this first chapter they weren't xD
