Kukai the Matchmaker

Author's note: Hi! I'm usually a Rimahiko fan, but then when I searched up for Rimai, I found this cute fanfiction. It's called RimaXKukai Rimai Opposites Attract. The author is Kira161, and this fanfiction is inspired by her ;p Rima and Kukai are my favourite Shugo Chara! girl/boy characters, and since I really liked Kira161's fanfic, I decided to write one too C:

Pairing: KukaixRima

Summary: Mashiro Rima is in love with Fujisaki Nagehiko. What happens when she decides to get some help from Souma Kukai, Nagehiko's matchmaking best friend? Will she end up with Nagehiko, like planned, or will she fall for someone else?

Warning: May contain HEAPS of cheesiness.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara!

Chapter 1- The deal is on!

Rima's POV

I love him.

Dreamily, I stared at the number one heartthrob of the school.

Fujisaki Nagehiko.

"Mashiro!"

I snapped back to reality, and faced my teacher, who was staring sternly at me.

"Here?" I said, not sure if she was taking attendance or not.

She glared at me. "Detention. After school."

Then she went to bully another kid. Sigh. This is my life. It sucks, doesn't it?

"Were you staring at Fujisaki-san again?" whispered Amu, who was sitting next to me.

Hinamori Amu is my best friend. She knows about my crush on Nagehiko, and is about the only person who really understands me. Luckily for her, she's got the could practically get ANY guy she wants. Even Nagehiko.

I gave a soft nod, my cheeks red. Why do I have to have like, the biggest crush on Nagehiko? And here, I thought I wasn't like those fan girls. But at least I keep my crush secret, not like them, who go screaming his name whenever he walks into the room. I do have a reason for my love though. It wasn't just because of his looks. I admit, he is pretty hot, but I can get any other hot guy. This guy was different.

You see, people sometimes call me "The Ice Queen". I don't blame them. Whenever I get shy, or nervous, I act very cold towards others. Well, I am shy and nervous most of the time, which makes me cold most of the time. I act very stuck-up, spoilt and conceited. My stare is practically like "ice" to others.

But then, there was this time when I tripped over. All the other students just walked by, eyeing me, afraid to help me, in case I give them "the stare". But Nagehiko was different. He helped me up, and just gave me a friendly smile.

He wasn't afraid of my title as "The Ice Queen". Not one bit.

Right now, Nagehiko probably couldn't remember the memory. But I can. Clearly.

It sucks when you love someone who doesn't love you back, right?

Break Time

"You really ought to stop doing that," Amu said, concerned about my well-being.

I sighed. "If I could, I would, but I can't, so I won't."

"But really, your grades are lowering because you're not paying attention to class. You're paying attention to HIM!"

She is so...Mum-like sometimes. "Aw, thanks, MUM."

Amu glared at me. I stared back.

"Fine. Do what you like. But I tell you, you ought to fix this somehow," She finally gave in.

I glared at her. "How do you expect me to do that?"

"I don't know!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

"KUKAI! NAGEHIKO! KUKAI! NAGEHIKO!"

What on earth? I stared wearily, and then blushed when I caught sight of Nagehiko. Amu noticed, and rolled her eyes.

"Wait a minute..."

I faced her, wondering what's with her sly face. "What?"

"You'll stop staring if you're TOGETHER, right?"

I glared at her. "Probably...but that's never going to happen. Stop rubbing it in."

"Shut up, Rima. You see that guy next to ho,?"

I inspected the guy she was talking about. Judging from the shrieks, I assumed his name was "Kukai". Well, Kukai was actually really hot. Messy brown hair, and clear emerald eyes. His smile was the cutest thing about him though.

After inspecting, I turned back to Amu. "What about him?"

"He's a matchmaker, and Nagehiko's best friend!"

This was going nowhere. "So?"

"And you call ME the stupid one! He can get you and Nagehiko together!"

I stared at her. Then thought about it. Her idea was making a bit of sense. That is, if Kukai really was a good matchmaker. I grinned.

"That's a good idea,"

She grinned proudly. "EXACTLY! Here, I'll go ask him to talk to you,"

"Wait! A-"

But she already left. Darn. If only she gave me some time to PREPARE on what I had to say to Kukai.

It's not easy just telling random people who you like, right?

Finally, after a lot of protesting from the fan girls, Kukai was at our table.

There was some glaring from the girls, but then they switched their attention back to Nagehiko, who was still standing there. His face screamed "KUKAI YOU TRAITOR! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THESE!". I feel sorry for him.

"Yo, Mashiro,"

He finally acknowledged my presence.

I stared at him. "Souma,"

"So, Hinamori said you had to talk to me,"

I nodded, and then turned to where Amu was. To my shock, she was GONE! What a traitor. She left me alone with THIS.

"Hinamori left a while ago. You didn't notice?"

I shook my head dumbly. "Whatever."

"Well...what did you have to talk about?"

Instantly, my cheeks turned red, and he noticed this.

"Why are your cheeks so red? Are you in love?"

I glared at him, my face burning. "Shut up."

"So that's what you wanted to talk to me about! I'm a matchmaker, after all."

Embarrassed, I turned the other way and mumbled, "It-was-Amu's-idea,"

"Well, it's a Hinamori-like idea, after all. How about this?"

I turned back to him, irritated. "What?"

"I help you, you help me."

He expects ME to help him? "I don't have money."

"Not money. Matchmaking."

I glared at him. "If I knew how to matchmake, I would of done it with Na-I mean...my crush already!"

"Hey, it can only be you. You're the only one she hangs out with"

What? "The only one she hangs out with...Only Amu hangs out with me. You like Amu?"

"You're quick."

Once again, I glared at him. "Shut up. Well, I'll try and help you. As long as you help me with...uhh..."

"With...?"

I blushed furiously. "With...Na...Na...Nagi..."

"Nagi? Nagehiko?"

Hearing his name made me all fluster. "Er...uhmm..I mean! Uhh..."

"So you do like him," He gave a grin, which made me feel all weird inside.

I nodded dumbly. "Shut up."

"Don't worry, I'll help with Nagehiko, you help with Hinamori. Deal?"

Well, it's the only way.

He extended his hand, and I took it. Then we shook.

It gave me a frightful tingly feeling. I don't think I've ever been in contact with any boy before.

Then he gave me another grin. "Well, that settles it. See you around, Mashiro!"

I gave another dumb nod. "Sure...Souma,"

He strolled away, and then I gave a little grin as I realised what happened.

If everything works out...

It looks like I might have my future with Nagehiko after all.
