Okay I was rereading the first chapter, and I noticed that I wrote 'Yaya and Temari head over to the dance floor'. Okay sorry, not Temari, Nadeshiko. Just saying.

OMG thank you all for your wonderful reviews!! They make me sooo happy!

You all rock! You guys all get pocky! And if you don't like pocky (Say what? Not liking pocky? What world are you from? XD Joking.) You get chocolate! Or both if you like them both!

Stupid, horrendous, useless, waste of time, dumb, idiotic, moronic, retarded, disclaimer. I do not own Shugo Chara. Only this story!

Might as well. . . .

Ages~ Amu, Rima, Nagehiko, Nadeshiko, Tadase, and Utau are all 16.

Ages~ Ikuto, Kuukai, and Kairi (Okay, Class Pres is awesome, so he can be a manager, and still rock school. And he can keep an eye on Rima. So, yeah) are all 17.

Ages~ Yaya is 15 (She's smart so she was upped a grade and she's in the same class as Amu, Rima, and Utau.)

~Rima POV – Setting : Heading Home. . .

I slipped out of Fusion through my back door. Looking around to make sure no freaky paparazzi or creepers were around I stole through the bushes that framed the path to the sidewalk. ( I didn't know how to describe this setting so, imagine a back door, with a gravel path leading out to a busy sidewalk, but the path is framed with bushes, she went through the bushes that she faced once she got out the door. Make sense?) Beating back branches, my hair got snagged one too many times, so I finally put it in a pony tail, then I twisted it up into a bun, and pulled an oversized hat on. I've got to remember to that every time I go this way. It totally saves me the pain and trouble of having to untangle my hair from the thorny branches.

I sighed. My mind began to wander, as my feet have already memorized this route, I could walk it in my sleep. If I turned around on my way to the bus stop I'd probably trip over the damn air. But, nope, not here in the midst of leaves, branches, and thorns, and damned rocks, I could walk unconscious. Just another remainder, how much Kagami has crept into my life.

~ Flashback ~ At school~

-Yawn- -Sigh- -Yawn-

"Say, what's wrong Rima-chi?" All of the sudden Yaya was in my face.

"AGH!!!" I fell back onto my chair. " What the heck? Don't get to close!"

"Okay, okay, what's wrong though. You've been sighing and yawing for h-o-u-r-s Rima-tan!"

"Yeah, Rima, did you not sleep well or something?" Amu entered the conversation, looking up from the math questions Nikaidou gave us.

"Yeah, guess I just had a rough night . . ."I lied, looking out of the window, my eyes, flitting on the scene below, resting on the basketball court. The team was playing a team of 1 on 1. Currently it was Ikuto and Kuukai.

I hate lying to my friends, it makes me feel like one of those . . . liars. The kind that uses her friends, lies to them , then throws them away if they ever discovered she was lying, or if she just didn't want to hang out with them anymore. A bitch. That's what I felt like.

Because, of course. I was at Fusion, singing till midnight. Then I stayed up till 5 am doin' my homework. I didn't get half of it done.

"Ohhh~ Riiiima –tan, I'm pretty sure you were up all night, thinking about a certain someone." Yaya's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Huh?" Okay Rima, fake confusion. Pretend to not know what she's talking about.

"Oh, come on, you know what we mean." Amu replied.

Okay, why does it feel like they're two sharks circling their prey, me?

" Uh, no I don't. Uh. . .I have to finish these questions for next period." I began working on my math problems with a new vigor.

I sneaked them a glance, looking up from the problems for the briefest of moments. Damn. They still have those damned I-know-all smirks. The only time I like those smirks is when I'm the one wearing them.

They plunked themselves on either side of my desk. I looked out the window again. Now it was Tadase and Nagi. . . OH HELL NO! N.A.G.I.H.. That's his name. He doesn't like me in anyway, so I can only call him Nagihiko. Unfortunately.

"Seriously, Rima, everyone knows you like Nagihiko." Amu informed me.

"SAY WHAT????" I yelled.

The other students all stared at us for a while. Then Utau came over. Great. Just what I needed. A third shark. I hate my life.

"Okay, well not everyone, but anyone that has a brain." Amu corrected herself.

"So how the hell did you guys find out?" I muttered.

Amu, Yaya, and Utau exchanged smug grins. " You just told us." They said as one.

I had a headdesk moment, then went onto a facepalm. I continued to bang my head on the desk in time with my chant, "I hate my life, I hate my life, I hate you guys, I hate you guys." I looked up, only to find the basketball team right in front of me.

S.H.I.T.

"H-hey." I managed to get out.

"Why would you hate your life Rima?" Nagihiko asked me, a truly confused look on his face.

"No, why would you hate us?" Ikuto asked. Amusement was in his eyes, and a smirk played on his lips. He was soooo enjoying this.

"Ah. . . um. . .where's Amu, Yaya, and Utau? I was . . . uh. . . talking to them." I am so lame. Why can't I just talk properly for once? What the hecks wrong with me?

"Them? Oh, they just left." Tadase mentioned to the door vaguely with his hands.

I jumped up, grabbing my books, pencils, and other things.

"Do you know were they went?"

"Probably to hide from you." Kuukai said innocently.

"Funny." I shot back, and fled from the room.

Only one thought entered my mind then. 'Way to be obvious, genius.'

Then I proceeded to kill Yaya, Amu, and Utau.

~End Flashback~

I exited the bushes, and before me stood my house. Some call it a mansion. I call it my house. Not home. I looked up the dictionary (Okay I got this from , I don't own.) It said 'the place in which one's domestic affections are centered.' If that's true, then that place isn't my home. It's merely my lodging until I move out. Never will I hold any affection in my house. It's always only me, and the 'help'. I don't like to call them servants, 'cuz I find that it makes me seem like a hopeless bitch. Someone who's always depending on others to do whatever she wants.

The only good memories that place holds is when my friends come over, then the place is alive, as it should, but it's brief. Same as when Kairi comes and tells me about up coming gigs (love the word gigs) at Fusion. It's nice, but brief.

My true home would have to be, when I'm singing. I can just be myself. I don't have to put on a wig, and be Kagami, or do anything. I just let the words come and go. There's my true home. Among the words.

I sighed, and entered my house.

"HI RIMA-TAN!!!!!!!"

There you go! I'm sorry it's boring!!!! I'm SO SORRY!!!!! Thousand sorrys ( Okay, now I feel like Ritsu) SO SO SO SORRY!

Okay, now please review, but if you don't want to 'cuz it's boring, don't.

Any questions, or ideas, please tell me!!!
