Yay a new Fanfic! I like to have my author's notes at the end usually, but I just need to tell you guys my inspiration. This story is based upon the song Airplanes by B.O.B featuring Hayley Williams. So, on with the story!
"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now…"
One wish was all Mashiro Rima ever wanted. One wish to escape everything, teleport to another world. To leave, all of her past behind her. What she truly wanted was to fix her parents' relationship. She wanted her mom and dad to be happily married and to stop fighting. She wanted a perfect family again, just the three of them. Laughing, playing, doing things as a family. Rima has wished this on too many things, she's wasted almost ten dollars amount throwing coins into fountains. The embryo, an egg said to grant a person's dream… Rima has devoted herself to finding and catching that egg.
"Go to hell!" Her mother screeched. "Just die and go away! It's all of your fault that the accident happened!"
"Excuse me? It's under your name!" Her father yelled back.
"So? You left the car just sitting there!" Rima didn't want to listen to them anymore. She raised the volume on her music, hoping that would help. However, her parents were too loud, and Rima sighed in defeat, shutting her music off. What happened was some teenager smashed the window of their car. Though it's really not anyone's fault except for the teen that had smashed their car, Rima's parents immediately blamed each other. Rima hated hearing them fight. Every time they fought, which was everyday now, Rima couldn't help but to cry. It all started when she was kidnapped, one year ago.
Rima was walking home from her school, in a good mood. She enjoyed going to school because she was the class clown once and she made everyone laugh. Everyone loved her and she was a part of them. So, with a smile on her face, Rima was walking home. Her chara, the part of her she wanted to be like, Kusu-Kusu, giggled with Rima, and they were both extremely happy. Rima was walking, in the dump area of her city. She passed two men near a truck, all dirty, fitting the atmosphere. At that moment, she didn't realize that those men were watching her. However, it would be these men who would change her life, for the worse. Rima continued walking, when she tripped on a piece of garbage. She fell to the ground, about to stand up, when one of the men held his hand out to help her up. Rima had felt slightly uncomfortable, since the guy was all messy looking, but she only figured he was helping her, so she took his hand, and tried to thank him. However, he grabbed her, and tied her up, blindfolding her. She felt herself being tossed into somewhere, and suddenly, the ground moving. She was terrified and scared for her life.
"HELP!" She tried to scream, but her mouth, like the rest of her, was petrified in fear. Instead she whispered the name of her chara.
"I'm here Rima." Kusu-Kusu had reassured. Rima couldn't speak, just shivered in fear. She couldn't see anything, just the blindfold, and she started to cry. All she wanted was to be in her mother's arms. She wanted to be safe at home again. Suddenly, Rima heard police sirens, and she felt someone move her, and then rip off the blind-fold.
"Am I safe?" Rima whispered, seeing a police man.
"Don't worry dear, you're safe now." The police man answered. Rima, then, saw her parents run over to her. Tears exploded out of her eyes, as she fell into her mother's arms. The rest of that day for Rima was foggy. That day was the day that marked the beginning of her parents' arguing.
"Rima!" Rima looked up, shivering as she did when she was captured, as she relived those dark memories.
"What is it, Kusu-Kusu?" Rima asked her clown chara. Unlike in the olden days, Rima's voice had no character in it and simply had depression in it. Especially in the last few weeks, Rima had turned more into a zombie.
"Funny face, look!" Kusu-Kusu stretched the sides of her mouth, sticking out her tongue. Rima forced a sad smile at her chara, pleasing her. Rima doesn't really find that funny face funny anymore, but it made her chara happy, so she did it to please her. The sound of her parents yelling quickly made that smile disappear. It vanished as quickly as a leopard could run.
"Why is my life barely standing?" Rima whispered. Tears fell down her face, her doll face no longer.
"What do you mean? Rima, just because your parents don't get along doesn't mean your life is completely terrible! There's so many great things in your life; the guardians, comedy…" Kusu-Kusu tried to reassure.
"The guardians is only a temporary escape. They don't help at all." Rima whispered.
"Do you know how much Nagihiko tried to cheer you up?"
"Don't talk about that bastard!" Rima yelled, crying even harder. "He is only there to sadden me even more! He is stupid and I wish he'd just vanish like all of the other problems in my life!" She rolled up into a ball, and didn't look up.
"Rima, but…" Kusu-Kusu gave up, and watched her owner cry even more. After an hour of crying, Rima lifted her head, and decided to go on a walk. Since her parents were still fighting, Rima opened her window, and climbed out slowly and cautiously. Before she turned off the lights, she closed the door and shut off the lights so it looked like she was sleeping. Rima crept around the city at nighttime, and thought about everything in her life. She decided to go to the park. Upon her walk to the park, she passed the building of Easter, the company that the guardians were against. They created X-Eggs, eggs of lost dreams, like Rima's…
"Rima, what are you doing?" Kusu-Kusu wondered.
"Does it matter now? What would happen now, if I simply just joined Easter?" Rima thought aloud.
"Rima, you can't! Do you know what Easter does? They turn children's heart's eggs into X-Eggs! It's horrible! Rima, you have a good heart, I know you!" Kusu-Kusu reminded her. Rima didn't answer, just stared at the building. Was she ready to betray all of her friends? Her friends would never forgive her, Nagihiko… Rima hated thinking about him. Nagihiko was another problem of Rima's. He always was there, especially when she didn't want him, and tried to cheer her up. She wanted him to go away and disappear from her life as well. However, it wasn't that simple for her to rid of him. Rima had realized she was in love with him. She didn't want to be and she tried so hard to fall out of love with him, but she couldn't, no matter how hard she tried.
"Rima… maybe you should get back home…" Kusu-Kusu warned.
"No…not yet." Rima answered, walking away from the Easter building. Nagihiko… what a pain that kid truly was. Rima arrived at the park. The park was actually closed, and closed two hours ago, but Rima always came anyway. Of course, it was impossible to let go of all of her problems, but she could always forget them for a moment. She was at the park again, sitting on the bench as she usually did. There was no yelling of her parents, except for in her brain of course. She could think about what life would be like if her parents loved each other again. She would be a much nicer person and maybe even live a nice life with Nagihiko. It all sounded so nice… if only they could stop fighting.
Rima suddenly heard quiet and sad music. It was a sound from a violin. Rima looked up, and heard the melody of the beautiful music from nearby. She slowly followed the music, and saw a familiar figure with blue hair and a black t-shirt. He wore black pants and his eyes were closed, engulfed in his own music. For a moment, Rima could see how Amu was attracted to him. The beautiful melody of Ikuto's violin… it was so sad yet beautiful, much like how Rima felt; broken and distant… Rima watched him from afar, a true smile forming on her face. Kusu-Kusu was super happy that Rima was finally smiling.
"Ikuto, someone's watching ~nya." The cat chara, Yoru said. Ikuto's eyes opened, as he looked around, putting his violin. Rima quickly hid behind a tree. Ikuto did not notice her, as he put the violin case on his back, and scurried away as quick as a wild cat. Rima was shocked that someone could go away that quickly.
"Let's go… Kusu-Kusu." Rima told her clown chara. Kusu-Kusu nodded, following Rima out of the park, and back to her house. Rima climbed the side of her house, nearly falling. Rima grabbed the side of the window, and fell into her room. Rima closed the window, and climbed into bed. She paused for a minute, listening to the pure darkness of the night. Her parents weren't arguing so Rima looked out the window for a moment. She saw a star, shooting through the sky. She immediately recognized it as a shooting star, so she made a wish that her parents could get along. When the shooting star was out of view, Rima rested on her bed.
"Good-night Kusu-Kusu, good dreams." Rima whispered.
"Night Rima! Sleep well!" Kusu-Kusu said, disappearing into her egg. For the first time in three days, Rima fell into a quiet sleep.
"That was the Queen wasn't it?" Ikuto whispered to Yoru.
"I think so ~nya, do you have any plans?" Yoru asked.
"She seemed awfully depressed, I wonder if we could use her to our advantage…" Ikuto thought for a minute. "As much as it pains me, I think I have a plan…"
I hoped you enjoyed! Rate and Review, I think this came out really sad. Don't worry there will be RimaHiko moments later, they're my favorite couple.
