Chibi Fluffiness!3
Nagi's POV
I sleepily raised my head, unshielding my amber orbs as I slowly processed my surroundings. Golden rays of the sun prowled through, seeking in anyplace of disdained shadows, illuminating the world around me from the budding greens to the paling blues. While doing so, a sound no more than a stream was begging to be heard and the running water soothed my ears. Like the honeyed morning dew from the raging storm before, it was as if someone was humming a lullaby with the sweetest voice one could imagine after being awoken from a horrid nightmare. Fragrances of lilacs wafted up my nose, requesting me to droop my lids back to the peaceful slumber I longed for.
I would have done so, if not for the terrifying creature I transfixed my gaze onto. Both of the corners of my eyes rounded as I peered at the white, four-legged beasts towering over me. The heavenly wonderland I was in before had immediately transformed into a desolate graveyard. Soothing streams were replaced with rapid, murky waters, the cleansed blue skies to cloudy inked greys, and the sweet scented lilacs were no more. Intimidated, I darted towards the opposite direction and hugged the closest item next to me.
Rima's POV
beep! Beep! BEEP! Groaning, I heaved my right shoulder leftwards so that I was on my stomach with my face flat against my pillow and dragged my hand towards the vexing noise of my alarm. Instead, the irritating object was now blasting out songs as I realized I pushed the wrong button. My flimsy fingers fumbled on the surface of the device, hunting down the "off" switch. After discovering the switch, the irritating din in my room ceased and I rested on my bed for a couple more minutes before rising to change my clothes. I groggily rotated the door knob and swung the door open to reveal my uniform.
Later, after changing, I trudged my way towards the kitchen to consume breakfast. I was assuming father went to work already because there was no screeching in the house. Mother stared at me strangely, was there something on my face? Just then, Kusukusu's egg flew towards me and cracked open.
"Rimaaaaa! Why are you wearing your school uniform? It's Saturday!" Kusukusu complained while sluggishly rubbing her eyes. Then she yawned half the size of Amu's largest yawn. I glanced down at my uniform and then my brain registered that it was indeed a Saturday.
"Sorry mama, I'll go change," I uttered, ashamed. As I scampered back upstairs my cellphone chimed. I peered at a text from Amu which was filled with illegible words and numbers. I texted back confusedly only to get more symbols and nonsensical terms except for the word "garden". Garden, as in royal garden? I thought as I hurriedly slipped on a jacket.
"Mama! I'm going out for a bit okay? For a guardian meeting," I lied knowing she couldn't argue with that. Surprisingly, she answered, "Okay Rima! Hurry along and go see your friends! It's not everyday they invite you right...haha..." as if she wanted me out of the house. Awkwardness first rose to the surface of my confusion but I hurriedly called for Kusukusu and shot out the door before mama could change her mind. Heaving a sigh, the wind slapped my face as I forced my feet towards Seiyo Elementary School. Inspecting the dirt along the orange bricks I made my way to the glass building, halting as soon as my eyes recognized the structure.
"Rima what are we doing here?" Kusukusu probed but stopped as soon as I flashed my phone in front of her face. I pushed the doors open and glanced down at an adorable toddler clutching my leg.
