I do not own shugo chara.

Rima's P.O.V

I was sitting in the royal garden not listening to Tadase talk. I would act like I was paying attention but in reality I was in my own perfect Rima world. A world where my parents still love each other and I still had Kusukusu. Yes, Kusukusu went back into my heart. All us guardians are all in middle school now. We are all 13 so some of our guardian characters are gone, including mine. A voice interrupts my thoughts,

"Rima-chan are you ok?" Nagi asks.

I turn and glare at him, "None of your business Fujisaki." I say then turn to the others, " I'm sorry I need to head home now, I'll see you all tomorrow."

They all wave goodbye to me and I head out. No one can tell how much my heart is breaking. Every step feels like the broken pieces are breaking away. Soon I wont be able to hide the pain and it will all just flow out. Instead of going home like I said, I walk to the sakura trees. I watch as the small pink petals float to the ground around me. With a small sigh I walk over to a bench and sit down.

I sit there for I don't know how long until a hear a startled voice, " Rima-chan is that you?" Nagi asks.

Once again I turn to glare at him, " No Fujisaki I'm a plant that just happens to look like Rima." I say sarcastically.

He walks over and sits next to me, " I though you had to go home two hours ago?"

I turn away from him and look at the sakura petals, " I didn't need to go home. I just wanted to be alone. That a problem?"

" It's a problem if your sad Rima-chan. And don't tell me you aren't 'cause I can tell. Tell me what's wrong." he says to me.

I sigh. Its not like he's not going to find out soon enough. " You know my parents are divorced right? Well I have to choose in one week who to live with. My dad I moving to America and my mom is staying here. I know they say they love me but I can tell they don't want me around. And Kusukusu is gone so I have no one anymore!" I yell.

He grabs my shoulders and turns me toward him roughly, " Are you that dumb? Amu cares about you. All the guardians care about you Rima-chan. I care about you!"

I feel my eyes brim with tears. No. I cant let anyone see me cry. I felt his arms pull me into a hug and I bury my face in his chest, " D-Don't say you care about me please. It hurts to much. My parents said they cared about each other and look where they are now, always yelling and forgetting about me." I whisper with a small sniffle.

" Let one tear loose Rima-chan. One at a time and your heart will mend. Trust me enough to let a single crystal tear fall from your golden eyes." Nagi said to me.

I let myself cry. All the tears I've held back over the years come spilling out. After I stop crying I look at Nagi, " thank you… and I care about you to." I say to him.

I watch as his eyes widen and I give a small giggle and kiss him. I'm shocked at what I do, but after we break apart and smile at each other. One person was all it took to mend my breaking heart. A single tear was all it took for me to realize how much I loved that one person. I wrap my arms around him, "I love you Nagihiko."
