Ahhhhh, here you all go. Another chapter. Thank you so much for the reviews. I do not own Shugo Chara, Girls' Generation, or 2PM. Isn't that sad?

Chapter 3

Iam hummed a tune to herself in which she recognized as For Elise. Why in the world would she hum that? Oh, yeah, because she played it last night when no one was around.

She skipped over to the Hermes cabin, the god of thievery's cabin, and peeked in to see if the boys were doing all right. Amu and Yaya had distributed sleeping bags for them last night, and saw to it that they reached the Hermes cabin safely. Each god or goddess had a cabin. The boys went to the Hermes cabin because, well, that was the people who's godly parent was unknown yet. She sure hoped that no one was going to be her new brother.

Most of them were either awake or just getting up, rubbing grit from their eyes are reading books, some just daydreaming carelessly. A lot of the sons and daughters of Hermes were going to the bathrooms to change. Iam saw Rima eyeing Nagihiko, who had put his sleeping bag RIGHT next to her bed. After all, Rima WAS a daughter of Hermes, but she felt ever so uncomfortable with Nagihiko sleeping, bare less except a pair of boxers on, next to her.

Iam caught Rima's eye and flashed a smile as she saw Rima blush. Iam shouldered a tote bag of hers and welcomed herself into the cabin. She handed each of the members of 2PM a bottle of healing herb liquid in which was enchanted with a spell to make it taste like their favorite food.

They drank each bottle down with either curiosity or just to get some food into their stomachs. Most of them grunted a mere, "Thank you," and those who did got a big, bright smile from Iam. The others she merely ignored and practically flung their bottles of liquid to them.

Iam motioned Rima to come outside with her and she obediently followed, and with each step she took, it was like she wanted to smash Nagihiko to bits, which was probably what she immediately wanted to do.

The boys waved bye to them as they walked out of the cabin and down to the pavilion, which was where everyone ate.

Iam playfully punched Rima on the shoulder. "Hot date, huh?"

"Sh-shut up!" She slapped her.

"Rima and Nagi, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-"

"Do you have death wish Iam?"

"Maybe, maybe not. I'm heading over to the kitchen now, so I gotta go."

"Like I care." Rima scoffed as she watched Iam gracefully picked her way around the grass, saying and waving hello and good morning to the flowers and every other plant that her eyes landed on. Behind her trailed the scent of cherry blossoms and water lilies mixed together, with a hint of night blooming cereus.

So much for being the daughter of Persephone, the goddess of flowers.

Rima continued along the way to the pavilion, then stopped. "That brat," she muttered under her breath, feeling around her neck. Her necklace was gone. He stole it. She gasped. That- that- THING could be her brother.

Breathless, she turned on her heel and ran back towards her cabin.

"NAGIHIKO FUJISAKI!" She screeched at the entrance.

She opened the door and saw that Nagihiko and his pals were chatting aimlessly, ignoring her loud voice which she had been certain that others could hear her a mile away.

"Yes?" The chatting abruptly stopped, and Nagihiko looked up at Rima, a look of innocence on his face.

"You-you took something of mine. I know it." She said, trying not to make her voice tremble and her face flush.

"Ah, would it happen to be-" He picked up a piece of pink string, and 5 charms hung on it- a pink A.H., a neon yellow U.H., a green Y.Y., a light blue L.D.M., and a white R.M.

There were clasps at the ends, and Rima glared at Nagi. "You stole it, didn't you?"

"You needn't be concerned of that, milady."

Rima took deep breaths, trying to get her anger out without punching that look off purple boy's face.

"Hand it over, please?" She could just barely get the words out.

Nagihiko stood and walked over to Rima dropped the necklace into her outstretched hand. Then he bowed deeply and returned to his spot on the floor.

"Thank you," Rima said. She tried to put it on- and failed.

"Would you care to have help, milady?" Nagihiko asked, in the same tone but with a different expression- a smirk.

"N-no, I'll have Amu put it on. Tonight, you better be claimed by your godly parent or you'll be living on the streets."

She turned away from the snickering boys and walked out the door, shutting it firmly behind her.

At Dinner

"THE NERVE OF HIM!" Rima slapped her hand down on the table, making her soup spill.

"Oh, Rima, he's just a newcomer, cut him some slack. He doesn't understand," Her godly brothers and sisters said at the table. All siblings from the same cabin also had to sit at the same table too, for all meals. Too bad that the newcomers sat at the same table too. Too bad that there wasn't a table that was especially reserved for new arrivals. Too bad that Rima couldn't get away from that purple haired boy. Too bad EVERYTHING. Everything was TOO BAD.

Just because he came the day before, did that mean that he could annoy her the whole time?

Rima concentrated on eating her steak for a while, trying to block out the comments about Nagihiko. "Oh, your hair is lovely" "You're eyes are just like a girls" "What kind of shampoo do you use" "Where do you come from" "Look at those slender hands", and blah, blah, blah.

"How TALENTED." Rima said as loudly as possible, full and thick with sarcasm. She locked eyes with Nagihiko. He better be out of my cabin tonight at the campfire, she thought.

She stood up and walked to the lake, fuming. She plopped down on the sand and played with the soft, silky material.

Soon she hear footsteps. "Hey Rima, are you okay?" She heard Amu's voice ask.

"No, not really."

"Come on, let's go, we've got a show tonight for the camp," Utau said.

Rima turned and saw that only Yaya, Utau, Lulu, and Amu were there. "Where's everybody else?" She wondered aloud.

"Their setting up everything right now, you know how O.C.D Iam and Ima are," Lulu said softly. She sat down next to Rima and patted her arm gently.

"Hey, what's that purple thing on your necklace?" Yaya asked, pointing.

Rima tried to take it off to see, but, being clumsy as she was, finally had to ask Utau to take it off for her.

"Hmmm, purple... the initials, N.F. I wonder who that could be?" Amu smiled at Rima.

She gasped and rubbed her eyes, staring at her necklace. It was still there. "THAT-"

"Shhhh, Rima, I think that he's coming."

"Great," She muttered under her breath.

"Is she okay?"

Rima heard Nagi ask her friends. HER friends. It was like he just came and popped that little bubble that she reserved only with strangers and people that she hated. He popped it like it was just cheese that he could easily slice off with a knife.

Rima fumbled with the initials, trying to take it off. After a few minutes of swearing and sweating her hands off, she scratched a message in the sand with a stick and left the bracelet next to the words. Then she got up and left.

At the campfire, after the concert (A/N: they preformed Gee again, just so you know.)

When songs were finished, and s'mores were still going on, that's when it happened. Rima was delighted, but very much guilty.

"Lookit!" a boy had cried, pointing at Nagihiko. Everyone turned to stare, and then whoops and yelling began. Burned into his skin it seemed, was a green pomegranate.

"Wh-what does this mean?" He asked. Iam walked slowly, and the grass around her feet died and became black or brown.

She sat down next to him and took his arm, tracing the figure. She dropped it. "What season is it?" She asked Nagihiko, a look of seriousness on her face.

"Uh, why, it's summer."

She stood and screamed at the sky, "WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME? I NEVER WANTED A PERSON LIKE HIM TO BE PART OF ME!" She shook a finger angrily at the sky, as if daring the stars to shine brighter.

She reluctantly sat down again, tears streaming down her face. Quietly, again, she took Nagi's arm and pointed at the green figure. "It's a pomegranate. That is the symbol of Persephone, the goddess of flowers, or the Queen of the Underworld, in some legends. Welcome to my cabin, dear brother."

"Oh, Iam, I'm so sorry. I-I never wanted to hurt you, honest." Nagihiko said quietly.

Iam stroked Nagihiko's hair, and gave a weak smile. "Ah, cherry blossoms and rosemary. A Western and Eastern mix. I've never smelled anything like it. Come along, I will show you to our cabin."

And with that, she tugged on Nagi's arm and led him along a dirt road, but this time, instead of flowers dying, cherry blossom trees grew from the ground and went into full bloom.

I hope y'all liked that chapter! I certainly did! Let us thank the gods for the wonderful Persephone!

NEXT UP is...

KUTAU! .
