Wolfie: Hii! This is a new story by me! Well, this is going to be a collection of oneshots!There are going to be a variety of couples getting together in one and the same place!For now, we'll start with Rimahiko!I do not own Shugo Chara!


Rima curled herself up into a ball and tried not to cry. Her parents had gotten into a big fight and at one point, Rima had it. She had yelled at them,had kicked them, had gone to her room,had packed things she would need and had run away. Currently, she was sitting under a huge sakura tree. KusuKusu tried her best to cheer Rima up, but Rima didn't react. She just stayed in her ball position and tried her hardest not to cry. She had been fed up long ago, but ever since the fights had gotten bigger and louder, she felt like she was living in a nightmare. Her only relief was school. Amu,Tadase,Yaya and even Nagihiko, they all helped to cheer her up somehow. Just by thinking of her friends, there seemed like there was a weight lifted from her shoulders. She smiled a small smile and stood up. KusuKusu seemed to take that as a good sign, because she started smiling brightly, and went to Rima's bag. She pulled out Rima's most precious gag manga and tried to get Rima's attention. But Rima was now taking a look at her surroundings. It was a large meadow surrounded by big trees. Besides the green grass and the sakura tree, there were only a couple of flowers. Rima furrowed her brow. It didn't seem right. The meadow should have been full of flowers, you could say drowning in flowers. At the same time Rima started wondering, why she would think of something like this. She had never been to this place. Or had she?

Rima shrugged it off. Must have been one of these deja vu things. She was certain of two things: This place was beautiful and that her parents would never find her here. The thought of her parents made her sad again, but it didn't ruin the beuty of the scenery. In fact, it made the meadow even more beautiful. Rima could somehow relate to this place. It was, as if both had been abandoned, even though Rima was the one who had run away. Her thoughts went grim, as the tears were forming in her eyes. She resumed her ball position and started sobbing. Seeing this, KusuKusu's smile faltered. She flew on Rima's shoulder and hugged Rima's arm. "Rima, don't cry!" She pleaded, but Rima kept sobbing. KusuKusu begged and pleaded, but Rima wouldn't stop crying. She kept crying for what seemed hours, when a sudden voice startled her.

"Rima?" An oddly familiar voice asked. Rima looked up to see Nagihiko's surprised face. She looked at him for three seconds, before burying her face into her arms again. It seemed as Nagihiko didn't know what to do, because he said nothing. Then suddenly, Nagihiko patted her. He patteed her, before taking a seat and pulling her into his lap. Rima was shocked from this action,but that didn't stop her from crying. She kept sobbing, until Nagihiko pulled her againts his chest.

"Shh, it's going to be okay Rima. I may not know the reason what caused you to cry, but I know it is going to be okay. So please smile?" Nagihiko muttered to Rima, who was now ruining his shirt completely with her tears. The words did not make the tears stop, but they lessened. Nagihiko continued to murmur promises into her ear, until the tears had completely dried out. Nagihiko smiled at Rima. Rima smiled back. They sat there in silence until Nagihiko decided to break it.

"Rima, what are you doing here?" He asked curiously and Rima got a sad look into her eyes. "I...I ran away." Rima choked on her own words, as Nagihiko looked at her with a shocked look.

"Why?" Nagihiko asked and Rima made herself smaller, as if fearing that he would hurt her. "When I was smaller, I got kidnapped. They captured the culprits soon enough, but since then my parents have been blaming each other. They have been fighting a lot since then. Lately, the fights have gotten bigger. So I just snapped when they started fighting again." Rima muttered quietly, knowing that Nagihiko was listening. Tears started brimming in her eyes again, but Nagihiko quickly wiped them away.

"It must've been hard for you." Nagihiko whispered softly, stroking Rima's blond hair. It seemed so smooth under his fingers. Rima nodded.

"But why are you here?" Rima asked quietly, as if fearing to offend the boy. Nagihiko chuckled. "I snapped at my mother too. I didn't run away, but I have known of this place since I was small. I always come here when I am upset." Nagihiko answered smiling. Nagihiko stared at the grass. "You know, it used to be way more beautiful a few years ago. Flowers were blooming all over the place." Nagihiko added and Rima fidgeted nervously. She had thought the same thing, when she had come to this place. But how would she know something like that? She concentrated really hard. Then it hit her.

Flashback

A five year old Rima was smiling happily as she played under the sakura tree. Her family had come to a picnic here, with her parents' friends. Her smile was huge, because a child around her age was supposed to come too. "Rima, they're here!" Her mother called, a smile on her face. Her father just laughed at the speed of Rima, who was there in less than five seconds. She quickly scanned the newcomers. A beautiful lady in a kimono, an older lady with glasses and a small girl with long violet hair. The girl was taller than Rima. Rima grinned a huge smile, grabbed the girl's hand and rushed to the sakura tree with her. The girl smiled.

"I'm Fujisaki to meet you." She introduced herself, bowing slightly.

"I'm Mashiro Rima. It's nice to meet you too." Rima answered, but then got serious. "Ne, have you been here before?" She asked Nadeshiko, who nodded.

"Did you know that on top of the cherry tree, the branches have formed a little cage? We could easily climb there! And there would be no danger at all!" Rima exclaimed happily, starting to climb the tree. Nadeshiko hesitated. Rima was already on a higher branch. "Are you coming?" Rima asked, more demanded. Nadeshiko, as if she decided something, smiled and nodded. She started climbing too. After a few moments, both of them were in the cage, sitting comfortably next to each other. They spent the entire day up there, talking about almost everything,playing games and laughing. "Rima! Time to go!" Her father called out and Rima suddenly became glum.

"What's wrong?Don't you want to go home?" Nadeshiko asked worriedly. "I would rather stay with you! You are my new best friend Nade!" Rima stated. Nadeshiko glanced around, as if making sure that nobody heard them.

"Ne, Rima, if you are my best friend, can I tell you something?" She asked in a very quiet voice."Of course!" Rima sighed. "I'm actually a boy. My name is Nagihiko." Nadeshiko stated seriously. Rima's lips curved up.

"Great! Then I can marry you!" She stated and Nadeshiko looked at her.

"You are not disgusted?" Nadeshiko asked as Rima shook her head.

"Why should I? I can marry my best friend now!" She stated smiling. Nagihiko smiled back. He pulled out the red ribbon holding his hair.

"Rima, give me your ribbon." Nagihiko said and Rima obeyed. She pulled her sky blue ribbon out of her hair and gave it to Nagihiko. Nagihiko tied both ribbons together and tied them to a branch, which was more hidden between the other branches.

"This is our promise. We'll promise each other that we are going to love each other and get married!" Nagihiko said and Rima was amazed about how nice it sounded. "Okay!" She said smiling. "RIMA!" Her mother yelled and Rima sighed. "Gotta go. We'll see each other again, won't we?" Rima asked and Nagihiko nodded.

"Of course. We are going to get married after all." He answered.

Rima's eyes snapped open at the end of her memory.

"." She muttered to herself and turned to Nagihiko.

"Ne, Nagihiko?" She asked and he tilted his head questioningly at her. "Hmm?" He asked her and she breathed in.

"I was once in this meadow before." She started and Nagihiko looked at her confused.

"So?" He asked. Rima now became aware that she was still sitting on his lap. She blushed and stood up. She started climbing. "Rima, that's dangerous!" Nagihiko stated but Rima ignored him. She finally reached the top. The branches had grown even more, creating a maze, not a cage. Yet, Rima climbed into this maze and looked around. She heard rustling and anticipated that it was Nagihiko climbing up too. She continued her search. She spotted the sky blue ribbon. She tried to reach it, but her arms were too short. She tried and tried, but in the end, a pair of long arms snatched the ribbons away. Rima turned her head and saw Nagihiko smiling at her.

"Looking for these?" He asked her and Rima pouted. "Yes, but a certain purple-haired cross-dresser snatched them away!" She retorted with a smile on her face. Nagihiko smiled. "You remember these?" Rima asked him and he nodded. "I always have." He answered, while he was caressing the ribbons. "Are you going to keep it?" Nagihiko asked her suddenly. "Keep what? The ribbon?" Rima asked and Nagihiko shook his head. "Your promise." Nagihiko said and Rima started blushing. The tears Rima had shed were completely forgotten. Nagihiko waited for the answer, but Rima didn't say anything.

"Well...I could give it a try. For my best friend's sake." Rima said and Nagihiko's head shot up hopefully. "But only if you truly love me." She added quickly, the blush on her cheeks deepening.

"Rima, I have always loved you. I will never stop loving you." Nagihiko said and pressed his lips gently against Rima's. Their kiss didn't last long, but it was gentle. Rima's blush seemed to be permanent now. Nagihiko glanced at the ribbons.

"I think we should keep them here." He said, knotting the ribbons back on their place. At Rima's questioning look,he smiled.

"Let's take them down when we have fulfilled the promise completely." He replied and Rima smiled at him. They both leaned in closer and shared another sweet kiss.
