Chapter 1: Her secret life:

Rima's POV

I was in class, in the middle of a math test. I HATE MATH! I though as I read a question that said, 3x+7x-2+4=24. I was trying to figure out the problem then, I though of Amu suddenly. I missed Amu. She was m best friend, Why did she have to move to Russia! All the other guardians also moved except for one. My mortal enemy Fujisaki Nagihiko!

What was worse, he walked me home everyday, because my stupid drunk father couldn't drive to pick me up. Of course my stupid mom called Nagi and asked him to walk me home everyday and told him Dad worked really late and she didn't like me walking home alone.

I was still thinking about Amu when my stomach did some somersaults. I walked up to the teacher and told him I wasn't feeling well, gave him my test and walked to the nurses office. I get there and I lay down, the nurse takes my temperature than leaves.

When she walked out, I pulled my shirt up to reveal my stomach and saw the bruise from when my father punched me a couple days ago, it still hurt. Not as bad as when he hit me, but still. I heard her coming back, I pulled my shirt down and she walked in.

Nurse: You have a normal temperature, I would like you rest for awhile though before you head back to class.

Me: Okay, I will go back to class in a bit.

I lied back, and fell asleep.

~Time skip to after school~

I was walking to the gate, and I heard him call after me.

Nagi: Rima! There you are!

Me: Hey purple head.

Nagi: I heard you weren't feeling well earlier, you okay?

Me: I'm fine, let's go.

We walked in silence for awhile, then he spoke up.

Nagi: You looked like you were in pain during that test today, what was that?

Me: My stomach was upset.

Nagi: Oh, okay.(worried look on face)

We walked the rest of the way in silence. When we got to my house he said goodbye, and I walked in my house.

As soon as I closed the door and turned around, I was slapped across the face. I winced and fell. My dad started yelling at me.

Dad: YOU ARE LATE! WHERE WERE YOU?

Me: I wasn't feeling well. I apologize. Would you like anything?

Dad: Yeah, make me some food.

Then my father stormed back into his room. I walked into the kitchen and made some food for my father. There was going to be a small bruise on my cheek tomorrow. I would have to put on some cover up. I sighed, and took my father the chicken I had heated up.

Me: Here is your food, father.

He takes a bite. He suddenly punched me in the face.

Dad: IT'S TO COLD!

Me; I will go heat it up.

I took the plate and walked out.

KusuKusu: Rima, are you okay?(she said worried)

Me: I'm fine, Thank you.

I heated up the food. I though, this was going to be a long day.

~Time Skip to the next morning~

BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP

I woke up to my alarm going off. I got up and walked into my bathroom and looked at my cheek. I saw a huge bruise on my face. I grabbed my cover up from my cupboard and put it on. I realized I was running low. I would buy some later. I walked out the door eating a piece of toast, and there was Nagihiko waiting for me. He turned around and smiled.

Nagi: Ohayo, Rima-Chan!(Looks at face) What happened:

Me: What are you talking about.

Nagi: There is a small bruise on you cheek.

I felt my cheek and noticed I didn't cover it up all the way.

Me: Oh, I fell out of bed and hit my dresser. It's nothing.

Nagi: Okay, if you say so.(Worried expression)

~Time skip to lunch under a sakura tree~

I was eating lunch under a sakura tree, and he walked up. Nagihiko.

Nagi: Hey, Mind if I join you?

Me: Not really.

Nagi: Thanks.(sits down)

Me: Do you want something?

Nagi: Not really, I am just worried.

Me: What about?

Nagi: You.

I looked at him like he was crazy and stood up.

Nagi: Rima-chan?

Me: You don't need to worry about me! I'm fine.

I turned around around and started running back to the school.

Nagihiko's POV

She was running back to the building and suddenly I saw a bruise on her arm. I had been noticing she had bruises more and more often. I was getting really worried. Was something happening to her at her home?

Rima's POV

I was running through the halls back to my class and I walked through the door and sat at my desk. Class was starting soon. I felt the tears brimming in my eyes. Why was he so worried about me? I wondered to my self. He doesn't know anything about what has been happening and he didn't need to know. I rested my head on my arms and waited for the teacher.

Nagi's POV

I walked into the classroom and Rima was resting her head on her arms. I walked over to her and saw the bruise on her cheek was more defined now, she was asleep. So I touched her cheek and when I pulled away there was cover up on my hand. I was confused. She knew about it, and tried to hide it with make-up? I woke her up for class and sat at my desk. Trying to piece it all together.

~Time skip to after school, walking home~

Rima's POV

Me and Nagi were walking home, and he was pretty quiet. He looked lost in though. He walked me to my door, and we were about to say good-bye when the door swung open and there was my dad, with a bottle of vodka in his hand. He grabbed me by my hair and was starting to pull off my sweater, this was something that had never happened but I knew what was happening, he pulled me inside and I suddenly screamed out of nowhere for help, and of course I screamed for him. NAGIHIKO!
