Hi! This is my new story: Sickness; a path to love. Tell me how you like the title, ok?

Rima: What's the pairing?

Me: Rimahiko.

Nagi: Why do you make me suffer?

Me: Cuz I like Rimahiko!

Rima: Is it all the way?

Me: OF COURSE!

Rima and Nagi: Hooray! (Sarcastically)

Me: On with the story! Disclaimer: I don't own anything in the story except the plot!

P.S. Nadeshiko is real and she did leave for Europe but came back, Rima's parents don't fight.

Introduction

"Wait! Wait Nagi!" cried a little girl with long butterscotch blond hair, about six years old.

"Hurry up Rima-chan, or we'll miss it!" answered a boy with long purple hair, same age as the girl.

"Miss what?" the girl inquired. "You'll see!" the boy said and grabbed her hand. They were running up a little hill in the forest in the darkness of the mid-summer night.

When they finally reached the top, the boy led the girl to sit down under a big tree.

The boy pointed to a little glow in the dark night. "Look…" he said. The glow became brighter and more appeared.

"Waa…So pretty" the girl mumbled looking at the light which was now like stars in the night sky. "Aren't the fireflies pretty?" the boy asked. "Very!" the girl replied.

There was silence as the two watched the mid-summer butterflies dance in the air.

"My birthday gift isn't finished yet!" the boy said. The girl looked puzzled.

The boy started to count down slowly "10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…"

At the count of one, fireworks filled the sky. They were like flowers blooming in the night sky.

"Wow!" the awed girl said. "Happy birthday" the boy said. "Thank you. This is the best birthday present I've ever received." The girl replied.

"Nee~ Rima-chan, If I told you I loved you, would you believe me?" the boy inquired.

"What is love anyways? I have never believed in love and I don't know when I will. But for now I think there will be no love in this little life of mine." The girl oblivious girl replied.

The boy looked saddened but accepted the answer with a slight nod.

Together they watched the fireworks with brilliant effects known as fireflies.

That was Mashiro Rima; age six and Fujisaki Nagehiko; age six.

(A/N: They are sixteen in my story.).
