A/N: Rima calls Nagihiko Nadeshiko.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara.

(At the Seiyo High soccer field)

Rima's P.O.V.

After those damned laps, in the rain, I was breathless and dripping wet. He, no, she didn't even show up at the field! Man, I was pissed. Not that I would ever let her know that.

Nagihiko's P.O.V.

I really hope that Rima-chan did those laps. I kind of feel sorry for her, but I can't go to the field due to the fact that while she was here, she took away some of my dance practice time whenever she got tired and took a break. Which happened a lot.

"Nagihiko, you seem distracted. Is anything the matter?"

"No, mother."

"Alright. I think that will be all for now. You'd better get ready for school now."

"Yes, mother."

(During 1st period)

"Fujisaki." That one word dripped with as much venom as Rima-chan was dripping with rainwater. Which was a lot, even if it was whispered. "Why weren't you there when I was running laps around the field, still sore everywhere from yesterday's practice, sweating my damned butt off, and getting soaked to the bone?"

"Ehhh, Rima-chan–"

"Don't you Rima-chan me! It's Mashiro-san to you!"

"Rima–"

"Amu! Stay out of this!"

"But Rima-chan, I had–" She was cut off by Nikaidou-sensei, who just had to quit his job at Seiyo Academy and follow us to Seiyo High.

"Mashiro-san, Fujisaki-kun, Himamori-san. Please see me after class." Nikaidou-sensei called us.

"It's Hinamori!" Amu said, clearly pissed. No one paid her any attention, though a few snickers could be heard.

"See? Because of you, I have to see Nikaidou-sensei after class!" Rima hissed to me.

"You may have forgotten, I have to see him, too, along with Amu-chan."

"Mashiro-san, Fujisaki-kun, please listen to the lesson!"

"Yes, Nikaidou-sensei." We both replied.

(The guardian's meeting)

I walked into the Royal Garden to find Tadase, Kairi and Yaya already there. Rikka and Hikaru were off somewhere else, so they weren't there at the moment. Kairi had his nose in another book and Yaya was busy stuffing herself with the cookies that Tadase brought today, while Amu-chan ran over and tried to get her to eat less. Unsuccessfully.

All of a sudden, Yaya looked at Rima-chan standing beside me and said,

"Ooh! Those two have some kind of vibe~"

Amu-chan joined in.

"Yeah, when are you two gonna–mmph!"

Rima-chan whacked a hand over Amu-chan's mouth. Thank you, Rima-chan. But I wouldn't say that out loud, for fear of getting a concussion.

"So, can we get started on the meeting?"

Two heads whipped around to glare at the unfortunate king, while the other two nodded. The other head continued to read.

"What did I do?"

Rima's P.O.V.

"I'm home!"

My parents have finally realized that I no longer need a ride home.

Silence greets me.

"Mom? I'm home!"

Still silent.

"Rima, maybe she's working late?" Kusu-kusu asked me.

"Yeah, maybe..."

It's been a while since I got back home, but mom still hasn't returned. I'm starting to get worried. And hungry.

Grabbing the phone, I tried once again calling her, but she either wouldn't pick up (why not?), ran out of battery (possible...), turned her phone off (why?), or she forgot it somewhere (unlikely). I'm starting to get hungrier, so I get up and boil some water to make myself a cup of instant ramen noodles.

I really should get ready for bed, but mom still hasn't come back yet, and I'm really worried. The phone suddenly rings, and, expecting it to be mom, I pick up.

"Hello?"

"Rima-chan?" Not my mom's voice. I should have checked the caller ID.

"Um, yes?"

"You forgot tonight's lesson, Rima-chan. Are you busy?"

Crap. I forgot a lesson and I have to be lectured by a cross-dresser.

"Rima-chan? Are you still there?"

"Yes, cross-dresser, I am." Yes, cross-dresser, I am annoyed and exasperated.

"Oh, good. Well, can we reschedule this lesson to next week?"

"Fine. What day?"

"Oh, any day you like, as you're so busy at the moment." Sarcasm. From hi–, no, her. Whoop-dee-doo.

"Bye."

With that, I turned the phone off and slammed it down onto the table.
