Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews. I highly appreciated it. ^^

AGAIN, I'm sorry for the late update. A strong typhoon hit our country and our area was highly affected. It was flooded for 3 days, and the flood reached the inside of our house. There was no electricity too. And when the flood subsided, our computer broke.

Apparently it has a virus. -.- so yeah, sorry for the really, really, late update! ^^

By the way, sorry if you got annoyed/mad/angry or whatever by the cliffhanger last chapter. I guess I was feeling evil. But, your wait is now over! Hehe…

I do not own Shugo Chara!

I don't own many things… it's sad. -.-

Rima's POV

If you guessed that I saw a cat eating a carrot, then you better consult a psychologist. -.- Anyways, I saw purple head leaning on the school gate, his hands inside the school uniform's pockets and he's shivering. WITHOUT AN UMBRELLA!

I ran up to him and used my umbrella to cover him from the rain. "are you stupid?! What are you doing outside in the rain?!"

He looked up to me, shivering. He forced a smile. "I was waiting for you…"

So what Nadeshiko and rhythm were saying is true. "baka! You shouldn't have! Not without an umbrella!"

"I k-keep my word…" he trailed. "…I'm glad that you're safe ri-rima c-chan…" he took a step forward but stumbled and fell on me. I held him so that we're both standing up.

"oi! Are you okay?" rhythm and kusu-kusu helped me. "gomen Rima-chan…" he mumbled.

I touched his forehead. He…he's burning up!!! I took off my coat then wrapped it around him. "w-what are you d-d-doing…"

"saving your butt before I kick it." I muttered.

"now, now… d-don't be so mean rima-chan…" he said. "don't talk." I replied.

With the help of rhythm and kusu-kusu, we arrived at his house short moments after.

CORRECTION, we arrived at his MANSION short moments after. I rang the doorbell and an old woman answered it.

"yes, what do you—oh my goodness, nagihiko-sama!" she said then helped me. "Nadeshiko-sama!" then Nadeshiko came scurrying down.

"nagi-nii!" she said. "what happened to him?"

"fever." I answered. Nadeshiko helped me carry him up to his room. We laid him down on his bed. He's sleeping so gently but his breathing is deep and hard.

"I'll get a towel and cold water. And some dry towels too." Nadeshiko said. "rima, you start changing his clothes."

My eyes widened in shock. "WHAT?!"

She half glared. "you heard me, now go before his fever worsens!" then she ran out of the door.

I hate it. I hate Nadeshiko, I hate stupid purple head and I hate my life. Why oh why do I get such misfortune?

"rima-tan! Stop being so emotional and start changing nagi!" kusu-kusu said. I glared at her before turning to the sleeping purple head.

I sighed. "I'll go get his pajamas…" rhythm said.

He came back with a pair of blue pajamas. I didn't move and just looked at him. Rhythm and kusu-kusu blinked at me. "what is it rima-tan? Change him now!"

I cursed Nadeshiko silently then unbuttoned his shirt. WHAT THE--- I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS A FREAKIN' 6 PACKED!

Calm down rima… I closed my eyes and quickly changed him…careful not to touch anything. Okay, I'm done now. A few seconds later, Nadeshiko opened the door and entered the room.

"here rima-chan…" she gave me the basin, towel and the thermometer. "I'll go down to get the food." Then she left again.

"we'll go help!" kusu-kusu and rhythm followed Nadeshiko and left me with purple head. Seriously, why do people keep on leaving me with purple head?!

I soaked the towel in the basin then I placed it on purple head's head. Wow, that sounded weird to say. I kept on doing the same thing until Nadeshiko came back with a tray of food and medicine.

"you take care of nii okay Rima-chan?" she said.

"what?! Why don't you do it? You're his sister!" I said.

"I have dance lessons so…" she said. "bye rima-chan!" then she came scurrying out of the door.

"wait nadeshi…ko." Tch. I looked back at him. I sat down on the chair that's near his bed and rested my head on the side of his bed.

And soon, I drifted to sleep…

End of POV

Nagi's POV

I blinked a few times before opening my eyes. Where…where am i? in my room? I sat up and felt a little dizzy. What happened? I looked to my right and saw…

"Rima-chan?" I said. she stirred then woke up.

"oh, you're awake…" she mumbled. She helped me sit up then offered me a glass of water. I shook my head no.

"what happened?" I asked her.

"well, you told me that you'll walk me home then I ditched you—which I'm sorry for,--then you still waited in the rain alas, giving you a high fever." She explained. "are you stupid or what?!"

I was shocked for a minute. "excuse me?!"

"who told you to wait for me?! Don't you have any common sense to just go home? Especially if you DON'T have an umbrella?!" she shrieked.

I slightly glared at her. Why slightly? It's because, I don't have the guts to glare at her. "YOU'RE the one who agreed that I'll walk you home, YOU'RE the one who ditched me, YOU'RE the one who came back for me and YOU'RE the one whose at fault and YOU'RE the one who's angry?!"

End of POV

Rima's POV

Okay, he was right. "I'm sorry…" I said silently. Then, he immediately smiled at me.

"don't worry Rima-chan! I know a way on how you can make it up!" he said smirking. Wait…why is he smirking? I don't like this…

"…how…?" I said slowly.

"like this!" he said then suddenly pulled me so that we're both sitting on the bed.

"what are you doing purple head?!" I said. he didn't reply but continued to smirk. Then, his lips crashed on to mine. You have read right, purple head is kissing me against my will. After a minute and a half, (and I have been counting,) he pulled apart.

My eyes widened and I can feel heat rising to my cheeks. "you…" I said but I can't continue. Why???!!! I mustered up all of my strength then glared at him. Even though I'm still blushing so I look like a pathetic little girl trying to force her mommy to buy her a lollipop.

"YOU STOLE MY FIRST KISS!!! How could you?!?!?!?!" I mid-shouted.

Then the door opened and there stood in the doorway are souma, Tsukiyomi and kairi.

"woah, woah…are we disturbing something?" kukai said.

Tsukiyomi smirked. "bad timing kukai, they're in the middle of it."

'It'…? What's that…? Oh I get it… wait, what are saying?! "what? No!" then I immediately stood up and jumped down off the bed.

"really? Then why is your hair messy, your lips are swollen and why are the two buttons on nagi's shirt unbuttoned?" stupid kukai!

I glared at them. "you're all delusional! I don't wanna do it with him!" I pointed an accusing finger at purple head. Then I stormed out.

End of POV

Kukai's POV

Mashiro-san walked out fuming. "what did you do nagi?"

"we were all good until you came." He replied shrugging.

"anyways, we heard from your sister that you got sick. It's not like you jack." Kairi said. ikuto smirked at him. "yeah, to do it while you have fever? That's just sick."

Nagihiko glared at us. "stop thinking about perverted things. She just took care of me and I did something to her."

"did what?" I asked.

He stuck his tongue out. "that's none of your business is it?"

Bummer. "so jack, can you come to school tomorrow?"

"probably. Why?" tsk. If only you knew.

"well, the guardians will go to a trip arranged by the school. It's some sort of retreat I presume." Kairi said.

"where to?" he asked.

"America." Ikuto answered. Nagihiko didn't react at all.

"oh…" I raised an eyebrow. "why the dull expression?"

"I've been there about 2-3 times." He said. ah figures.

"anyways, we are all required to come." Kairi said then walked out. There was silence between us three.

Then ikuto grunted. "well, I better go find some catnip. Do you have some?"

"inside the cupboard." Nagihiko replied.

Ikuto's face brightened. "I'll be back." He said then went out.

I walked towards nagi's bed. Then smirked. "So nagi…you and Mashiro huh?"

"what about it?" he asked.

I punched him on the arm. "don't play dumb you pin head! I know that you like her!"

His eyes widened then he blushed. "that is…..true." hah! Nagi is a sucker at lying.

"don't forget about or bet though." I reminded him. "loser has to do anything the winner wants."

"yeah, yeah…" he said.

Then Nadeshiko entered the room. "nii-san! Rima's leaving, mom wants you to walk her back to her house."

Nagi immediately stood up. "I'm going then. See you later." He went out of the room then Nadeshiko glared at me soon after he left. I sweatdropped.

"what?"

"what bet are you talking about?" she said. "if you get nii-san into any trouble at all, I'll—"

I calmed her down. Sheesh Nadeshiko. "woah, calm down Nadeshiko. I won't get your brother in trouble. You know me."

She narrowed her eyes at me. "yes, I know you. You were the one who taught my nii-san how to play with girls' hearts!" then she placed her hands on her hips. "and, you're the one who got nii-san into detention the past years!"

Okay, what she said was all true. But! In my defense—"and don't even try defending yourself souma. It's futile."

I frowned. Jeez. Fujisakis are mind readers. -.- "anyways, I better go then." Nadeshiko watched my every step as I go out of the room. Creepy.

End of POV

Rima's POV

Stupid kukai! Stupid Tsukiyomi! Stupid kairi! Everyone's stupid and perverts! I started walking faster when I felt someone hold my arm. I spun around and saw purple head looking frazzled.

"what?" I asked, annoyed.

"did you…" he said. I raised an eyebrow. "didyoutakecareofmelastnight?" he asked.

Well, duh. "what do you think purple head?!" I said. he just shrugged. "come on then rima-chan! I'll walk you home."

"what?! I'd rather—" then my cell phone rang. I picked it up and my mom bombarded me with questions.

"rima? Rima? Where are you? You went out last night and didn't tell me! Go home right now missy, and make sure someone's with you!" I winced because she's screaming at me. "yes, I'm going home mama."

"good. Who's coming with you then?" oh yeah… I haven't thought of that but… I glanced at purple head and he's looking around. "um, Fujisaki Nagihiko…"

When purple head heard his name, he immediately looked at me. I ignored him and focused on my conversation.

I heard mama gasp. "a fujisaki?! Don't embarrass yourself now rima. Those people are well-known in the society!" I rolled my eyes at her. "yes mama, bye." I shut the phone off. Ughh. Stupid society-literate mother. =.=

Purple head looked at me. "where were we?" he asked.

"okay fine, walk me home." He beamed at me. "still can't refuse now can't we, rima-chan?"

I glared at him. "no. mama said someone has to go home with me and do some explaining later."

He snickered. Damn you purple head.

The walk was covered in total silence. But every now and then he'd look at me or he'd hum something. He's a weird guy.

Then, he asked something that struck me. "why do you hate me Rima-chan?" I was silent for a second.

"for many reasons…" I muttered.

"pardon?"

I didn't reply and we arrived at my house. Wooh, thank goodness! I looked at purple head then he frowned. "fine. So be it. But don't think you're saved rima-chan."

I rolled my eyes at him. Whateeever purple head. "see you tomorrow Rima-chan~!" he said.

I walked up the steps of the porch slowly then entered the gate. I looked back then he's gone. Weird. But I just shrugged it off.

"Hai, here's your tea Rima-chan!" Nadeshiko placed the tea in front of me. I nodded my head once.

"okay, for our first order of business…" kairi said. then he held up a stack of papers. "all of us are required to go to America for a retreat. And it also serves as a vacation."

"vacation?" amu asked. "why? It's just the start of school."

Kairi shrugged. "one of tsukasa-san's ideas."

"psycho." I muttered.

"now, now rima-chan. It's not good to call people names!" purple head said. oh, he's sitting right beside me.

I glared at him. But he just smiled back. Gaaaah! Kairi handed each of us envelopes. "those envelopes contains your ticket and passport." Wooh, passport. "it's up to you to pack up your things. We're leaving first thing the day after tomorrow."

"that soon?!" amu frantically said. Wouldn't blame her. Her parents are waaaaay over protective.

Kairi pushed his glasses up. "don't worry. They're already noted. And they already agreed."

Amu sighed. Okay, what about me then?! "and Mashiro-san, we already informed your parents. Though they were hard to convince first…"

"figures." Amu, nadeshiko and yaya muttered. "how did you convince them then?" I asked.

He shrugged. "when I mentioned nagihiko's name, they agreed."

I was puzzled. How the--?? Ugggh. I need an explanation. "whatever."

Kukai jumped up and grinned. "it's all settled then!"

"yes, meeting dismissed." Kairi said. I looked at amu and I saw her staring at that tsukiyomi guy.

"stop staring, he might melt…" I said walking past her.

She glared at me. "I was not staring!" she hissed.

"whatever you saaaay," I said in a sing-song voice.

End of POV

Amu's POV

Okay, I admit. I was staring. I can't help it. There's something mysterious about that guy. I kept on staring…erm…looking at him, until I realized that everyone was gone. And by everyone, I meant even the boys left so that Tsukiyomi and I were left alone.

I turned around and was about to leave but stopped when he said, "staring is not nice you know."

I turned around sharply and glared at that guy. "I wasn't staring." I replied.

He raised an eyebrow. "really?" then he stood up and started walking towards me. "you know, the first time I saw you, I was already interested in you…"

"huh?" I said. Stupid, was that all I can say?! "d-don't go saying weird things," I said then ran away.

Ugggh, I am stupid. =.=

End of POV

Rima's POV

I woke up with kusu-kusu shouting and yelling at my ear. "Rima! Rima! Wake up! Let's go shopping for your trip tomorrow! Get out of bed, hurry!"

I semi-glared. "no." I turned and covered my head using my blanket. But kusu-kusu pulled the sheets.

"come on Rima-tan! Don't be so stubborn!" she said waving her arms around.

"will you leave me alone if I agree?" I asked.

"yes! Yes! Yes!"

I stood up and went straight to the bathroom. "we'll leave after I take a bath."

"Rima! Look at this! Isn't it cute? Try it on it might look good on you!" I shouldn't have agreed on this. -.-

We have been walking around for 5 hours. Bummer. Next, she dragged me into a book store. Guess what she's looking for? No need, she's looking for a gag manga.

We walked towards the 4th aisle, (that's where they place it,) and kusu-kusu grabbed every manga in sight and tossed it to me. And poor me has to catch it.

The gag mangas piled up to 3 meters! "come on rima-chan! Let's pay!"

"is it really necessary to buy this much?!" kusu-kusu beamed at me. "of course! What will we do if we're bored there?"

I walked (more like wobbled.) towards the counter.

Then that's when it happened. "Rima-tan look out!"

BAAAAM!

I fell butt first on the floor and all of the mangas flew everywhere. I rubbed my sore butt then shouted at the person who bumped to me. "look whoever you are, watch where you're going!"

"gomen rima-chan…" the person said. Wait…rima-chan?! He knows my name?! I opened my eyes and it's none other than….

"purple head?!" I glared at him. "look what you just did!"

"I'm sorry Rima-chan, but rhythm," he said glaring at his chara then looking back at me. "kept on dragging me all day."

"yeah, I know how it feels." I glanced at kusu-kusu who's now hiding behind one of the gag mangas.

Purple head helped me pile up the mangas and helped me stand up. "so, what are you doing here rima-chan?"

"dragged." I said simply. Purple head sweatdropped.

"are you buying things for tomorrow?" he continued to ask. I nodded once. "why don't we go shopping together then?"

"no." I said sharply. He seemed hurt. Why? But that only lasted for a minute. Because he immediately smiled at me.

He walked up to me and held my hand. "come now! Don't be such a killjoy." We walked out of the book store and walked around. I can hear people saying that, 'they look so cute!' or, 'what a lovely couple!' bleh. Me and Fujisaki? A cute couple? Eww. I'll never fall in love with a playboy.

We sat down on a bench after the loooong day of stopping at stores to buy clothes and stuff. Surprisingly, I had fun going around with him even though all we did was fight and argue.

My phone vibrated and I read the text message.

Rima! How many times do I have to tell you to go home before sunset? Go home right now young lady and don't go home alone!

-mama

Jeez, what a mother huh? It seems that fujisaki read the text and offered to walk home with me. And since I have no choice, all I have to do is agree.

I stood up and purple head stood up too. "it's a long walk…" I muttered.

The next thing I knew, I was scooped up in purple head's arms and is carried bridal style. "WHAT THE HECK?!"

"you said it's a long walk, so I'm carrying you." Purple head said. Huh? Were there earphones around his neck before?

"put me down!" I said kicking and screaming.

He stuck his tongue out at me. HOW DARE HE! "no!" he said then jumped from here to there.

I hate you, purple head. My, I have to think of a new nickname.

Soo….I know this chapter sucked. I myself didn't like it. There were many OOC's here and there. -.-

I had the longest writer's block imaginable. I apologize. Please review if you want to. But I would really appreciate it if you do. ^_^
