Nagihiko POV,
I walked through my front door only to be asked questions by my Baaya. I ignored her and ran up to my room and looked in my closet for something good to wear. I picked out a white shirt, blue jacket, black pants, socks and shoes, then went to shower. As I walked back in to my room I saw my phone beaping, I checked the caller ID. Rima had left me one text.
To: Fujisaki, Nagihiko
From: Mashiro, Rima
Time: 3:47 pm
Something came up, I need to move the date to 5:00. I'll meet u at the restraunt, I might be late. :)
I flipped the phone closed and flopped on my bed. I slowly closed my eyes and could feel myself drifting off.
Rima POV,
I closed my phone and looked at it for a minute. I really wish I could tell Nagihiko the truth, but he might not like me after lying to him. I looked over at Kusukusu, she was looking down in disappointment. I grabbed my clothes and started to change, I felt really guilty. I looked at the clothes I laid on my bed for the date.
"What if I don't come back tonight?" I whispered. Kusukusu flew over and stared at me. "What... would Nagi think?" I asked. She lifted my chin and looked in my eyes.
"It'll be fine, Rima. Nagi knows how you feel and you know him." I smiled and she started to giggle. I could hear my parents yelling at each other, so the only way to get out was through my window.
Nagihiko POV,
I walked to the restraunt alone, it felt lonely without Rima by my side. It seemed warmer, surprisingly.
"Hey!" I turned my head to see Kukai and Tadase walking toward me. "Why you dressed up so fancy?" Kukai asked looking at my jacket.
"I'm, uh, meeting someone here" I said nervously rubbing the back of my head. Kukai started to smirk.
"So you're on a date," he asked looking at Tadase then turning back to me. "With who?" I pulled back.
"Um, just some girl who wanted to see me."
"I thought you liked Mashiro-san." Tadase blurted out.
"Is it Rima?"
"No!" I said and started to panic, "She would never say yes if I asked her out and I would have to pick her up. Remember, Rima is not allowed to go out alone." Tadase shrugged.
"Come on Souma-kun, we need to go before the ice cream melts." They walked away and Kukai started to laugh. I went up to the waitress and asked for a table for two. She seating me in the front of the restaunt, then walked away. I pulled out my phone to check the time. I sighed.
"Four-thirty, only thirty minutes left."
Rima POV,
I ran to the restaunt and burst through the door. I saw Nagihiko waiting at a table drinking some water. I took a seat across from him, panting.
"Did you run here?" he asked passing me a glass of water. I drank all of the water before falling back in my chair, I nodded not being able to speak at the moment. I gained my breath quickly, but kept panting to make it believable. I looked at the menu, when the waitress came to take our orders Nagihiko ordered spagettii and I ordered alfredo. We talked for about half an hour before I left to go to the restroom.
I took out a small make up bag and started to pull out many different metal parts, I assembled the parts into a gun. "Why are you putting it together?" Kusukusu asked. I looked over at her and sighed.
"I didn't finish the target so she might try to find me, I don't want to be off guard." I put the whole gun back in my purse and walked back to the table.
"So what came up that made you late?" Nagihiko asked. I almost fell out of my chair.
"Oh just some family stuff." I lied, I had to. I saw something out of the corner of my eye, turning my head to see what it was I started to speak again. "Um, Nagi, when I say three duck. One, two,THREE!" I said Nagihiko knelt down before something came smashing through the window. I stood up and looked at it of course the target had to be a werewolf. Nagihiko sat on the floor in horror.
"What is th-" he was cut of by it pouncing foward. I pulled out the gun and tried to shoot it, I missed but Nagihiko was able to dodge it. "Rima?" he yelled looking at me. "What is that? Why is it attacking you?"
"It's a long story, just get out of here before-" another window broke and I saw a vampire come crashing through. "That is what I was worried about!" I yelled. Nagihiko stared at me confused and scared. I saw some garlic on a table. "Nagihiko grab that garlic and don't let go of it for your life." I ordered, he stared at the garlic then started to sprint. The black haired vampire chased after him, Nagihiko grabbed the garlic right before the vampire got there. She was sent flying backward, Nagihiko started to run back to me.
"No! Don't come near me with that!" I demanded, Nagi stopped. I couldn't call for help and Nagihiko was stuck with us, but luckily everyone had left the restaunt and nobody was killed. I stared at him, but was knocked out guard by the vampire. She bit me in the arm before I though her off. My arm was bleeding which, I'm pretty sure, freaked Nagihiko out. I threw Nagihiko a red jewel and ordered him to keep it around his neck. I kept tripping on my dress and heals, I ducked under a table and took off my heals, switching them for my black boots.
"Hey!," I yelled then threw off my dress to reveal my hunting clothes. "Come and get me!" The werewolf charged, aswell as the vampire. I started to dodge the blows from them, until the werewolf was able to pin me down.
"Rima!" Nagi yelled. He came running toward me.
"Stay back, you idiot!" I yelled I was willing to hurt him if it ment saving his life. He ignored me and threw the garlic away, as soon as that happened the vampire apeared behind him. She grabbed his arm and bit it, "Nagi!" I yelled, I kicked the werewolf in the stomach then shot it in the head. I picked one of the broken chair legs, and spung forward. I stabbed the vampire in th heart and she fell to the ground. I knelt down next to Nagihiko, the only way to stop him from turning evil was for me to bite him. So I did, I grabbed his arm and bit the same place.
Nagihiko eyes flittered shut, and I carried him home.
Nagihiko POV,
I opened my eyes only to see the ceiling of my room. "Was it all just a dream?" I asked quietly. I sat up and saw Rima sitting at the bottom of the bed, she turned her head to look at me.
"Good your awake." Rima said smiling, it was a smile with sorrow in it. She stood up and walked to the door. "I gotta go, but you shouldn't go to school tomorrow." she walked out with Kusukusu floating behind her. I turned my head to Rhythm, who was laying and the dresser, looking sick.
"No." he said then fell asleep. I wonder what he meant. I laid back down in bed then started to feel sick.
Next Morning,
I sat up in bed, but couldn't get out of bed for some reason. I looked over at Rhythm, he was talking about Kusukusu in his sleep and refused to wake up. My Baaya came in and took my temperature.
"Your sick." she said, then left the room.
Rima POV,
I stared at Nagihiko's empty chair in math, I can't believe I dragged I dragged him into that. He was bit and now had to be trained, by me of all people. The day kept going by, until school was over.
"Rima," I turned around to see my pink haired friend, Amu, walking toward me. "We have a guardian meeting today." I had forgotten about that.
"I need to go straight home today. Something came up." I lied then started to run. I hid behind a building hoping no one followed me, then took off in speed. I got to Nagihiko's house and rang the door bell, an old lady answered the door.
"Are you here to see the young master?" she asked, I bowed and nodded. She led me to his room and knocked, "Young master there is someone here to see you." it was silent for a moment.
"Let... them in." we heard a small voice. She opened the door and shut it behind me. "Rima?" I was staring at a very pale Nagihiko, he must have been in so much pain. I walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"How you doing?" I asked, he smiled and hugged me.
"Better now that you're here." I started to blush bright red. "But I feel very strange, like I want something salty and sweet." he sighed and laid back down.
"I'm sorry." I whispered. Nagihiko sat straight up. and looked at me confused. "You must have been in so much pain and it's all my fault." tears started to fall from my eyes. "I'm didn't want you to get hurt." Nagihiko pulled me into a hug, I cried on his chest. He didn't seem to mind very much. We held on to each other for about ten minutes.
"I'm fine don't worry." he said, I smiled weakily because I knew he wasn't. I left his house and started to walk home, with Kusukusu floating behind me.
"You are going to have to stay with him tomorrow night, right?" she asked looking at my sad experetion, I nodded. "He'll turn evil if you don't." I snapped my head up.
"I know okay! Why is everything happening like this!" I yelled, I put my hands over my mouth and stared at my chara. "I'm sorry." I said.
"I'm sorry too. I might have went a little overboard with that." she giggled, I smiled as we walked home.
Next Morning
My mama took my temperature and told me to stay home. As soon as she left, I locked the door and got dressed. Kusukusu took a few papers from the desk and handed them to me. I jumped out of the window and started to run down the sidewalk. I stopped infront of Nagihiko's house and looked for his bedroom window, it was on the third floor. I looked around and saw a ladder in the bushes, it only reached to th second level but I could already make it up there. I jumped to the second storie window then through it. I didn't see anyone here in the house. I slowly made my way to Nagihko's room. I quickly got through the door and shut it quietly. I let out a sigh of relieve.
"Rima?" I saw Nagihiko staring at me, didn't think this far a head. "How did yo-" I put my hand over his mouth and a finger over my lips.
"Don't speak so loud." I whispered.
"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" he whispered back.
"I need to do something today."
"Like what sneak into peoples rooms?" he smirked.
"No!" I yelled then slapped my hand over my mouth. I went around the bed and hugged Nagihiko from behind. "Don't yell." I demanded, he shrugged. I pulled him to the window and opened it, I turned back to him and smiled. Then, we jumped out of the window, mostly me but he was there too.
