Me: Ok! I know I disappeared for a few days but I hope you guys didn't give upon me!
Rin: Probably did already.
Me: *crys* B-but it wasn't my fault!
Rin: Whatever.
Me: *sighs* I don't own Shugo Chara. Hope you enjoy the chapter.
Kukai sighs tiredly and sits next to Utau. She pouts then nudges him, he gives her a big grin. "Sorry, Rin can be a handful…"
"I got a question though…how come she's so cold to them but not me?" He shrugs and she hits him.
"OW!"
"I'm serious! She did that weird thing with the eyes-"
"She…did that for a reason." Utau looks clueless at him. "She's seen everyone type of person. Her phrase is 'eyes don't lie'. She's probably seen those type of eyes before, she just grew up with adults that lie every time they speak to her." Utau shrugs but a smirk spreads and she eyes his friends.
"Told ya she could." Everyone groans a bit but are too distracted by the deserts and shake. Rin comes out with a slightly red face, she staggers a bit. She's wearing jeans and a black tank top. She coughs heavily and Kukai looks at her worriedly. Ryo is right behind her, yelling loudly.
"Rin! You don't look good! You should rest-" Rin collapses to the floor, Kukai rushes to her and looks flabbergasted. Ryo puts hand to her forehead then the other to his forehead. "Not good, she's burning." Rin chuckles a bit and her eyes are slightly open. "We're taking you to the hospital-"
"NO!" coughs repeatedly and Ryo carries her. "No…" she closes her eyes and goes limp. Her breathing is rather heavy. Everyone's surrounding Ryo and Rin, he looks at Kukai. "Can you watch the shop for a while?" Kukai nods, he's opening the door. Sorry Rin but you're too sick.
"Be careful." Kukai says and Ryo nods. Ryo runs out of view, and everyone stares awkwardly at each other. "….." He keeps his stare to the door.
"She's going to be alright, it's just a cold." Utau reassures him and he grins sadly.
"Yah, I guess."
"She seemed fine when she was talking to us…"Amu added.
"No…she didn't seem fine at all…" Rima muttered and everyone looks at her. "I can't explain it…but it was rather weird…she didn't seem the type to go back to us by force without a fight…" Kukai blinks at her, "What?"
"Even though you just met her, you noticed." He slumps and Rima scoffs.
"Well an idiot like you wouldn't notice." He glares at her. "Like she said, she said that I remind of how she used to be…that's what I do when I'm sick." She finishes her plate and drink then gets up. She grabs her cellphone and looks at Amu. "I have to call my parents." She calls someone and talks in a hushed tone, away from everyone else. She closes the phone and walks back to them.
"Now that you two mention it…you guys even looked similar." Everyone gaps at Kukai.
"HER?" they yell.
"Yah, she was rather petite and short, but still played sports. She slowly grew the past year or two."
"Now that you mention it…she is rather slim for a girl her height." Nagihiko adds and everyone finally gets it.
"She even had a similar personality to Rima but had a MAJOR brother complex on Fai. Her little brother and my best friend, that is." Kukai adds while laughing. "The first time I met her, she thought I was bullying him and beat me up, badly too. Fai told her I didn't do anything and her expression was hilarious! That was about the time the three of us became friends." Everyone looks at him and he shrugs. "Don't take it personally, Rin…is a very difficult person to deal with. Sorry Amu, Tadase."
"She said Yaya annoying too!" Yaya screams unhelpfully.
"It's true." Rima retorts bluntly. Yaya's lip quivers and she clings onto Kukai crying. Kukai looks lost for words and Utau glares at her. "Well it is."
"Hey…whoever has no plans can come with me to visit Rin if they want." Kukai tries to gently push Yaya off.
"I got to pass, mom's strict." Nagihiko says. And I have to stay away from her or else she might spill my secret. Rima and the guys already know, I don't need anyone else.
"Yaya would love to! ...But Yaya have to babysit Tsubasa!" Yaya yells, finally off Kukai.
"Can't, I got to babysit Ami when I get home today." Amu says in her cool and spicy mode.
"I'm sorry, I have to meet Tsukasa on a Guardian matter." Tadase speaks with a sad apologetic look.
"Sorry Kukai, I got to meet up with my manger." Utau says with sad eyes, Kukai's face shows disbelief.
"Seriously? No one will go?" Kukai sighs tiredly.
"I'll go." Rima says with a bored face. Kukai's face lights up a bit, he grabs her hand and kiss Utau's cheek before running out the door. Rima breathes hard after a while. "K-kukai! S-stop!" Kukai looks at her and stops immediately.
"I'm sorry! I just got too excited in someone going to check on Rin." He grins at the tired Rima and he ruffles her hair.
"Hey! Don't touch my hair!" She glares at him and fixes her hair. Kukai stares at her and she glares back. "What?"
"You're cute. Like how Rin used to be." Rima seemed awe for a moment then puts on a grim face. "Ok, let's go, they probably went to the hospital nearby. Since Ryo isn't that active…"
"Is she and him a couple?" Kukai looks at her then at her pinky. He laughs in her face and she pouts.
"No…they have an older brother/little sister relationship."
"Really? It looked like they were a couple…"She gasps a bit at Kukai's serious expression.
"Do you want to know why they aren't a couple?" he gets close to Rima's face. She nods, a bit surprised. "Ryo did something horrible." Kukai's eyes flicker to anger then betrayal then to normal. "Sorry, the hospital's a bit ahead." They walk in silence and they reach the hospital and he leans to the counter and sees a nurse with beautiful sea blue, mixed with green, eyes. Her hair is light pink and is tied up in a bun. She's wearing a pink nurse's outfit and smiles at Kukai.
"Hello Kukai. Rin's in room 206, you know where it is." She looks down to Rima and gives a blank look. "Girlfriend?"
"No." Kukai laughs. "I got a girlfriend but not her. She's a friend."
"Hello, I'm Luka. And to think you would actually get a cute girl like her." Her expression was a bit blank but had a hint of a smile in it.
"Rima, you guys know each other?"
"For about two years…right?" Kukai says with a bitter voice and Luka nods.
What's with these people? Rima's face was blank but had an irritated edge. "Can we go see Rin? I have to leave soon." Kukai nods and they head to an elevator and they stand in silence.
"We're a regular here." Rima looks at him. "We visit every week, mostly separate but I know she visits probably every chance she gets…" Kukai grins at Rima. "She might say weird things in her sleep, she's has a serious case of sleep talking, if it gets really bad she sleep walks too." Rima scoffs. "Trust me, you'll get what I mean soon." The elevator doors slid open and they walk out. They travel down a white hallway and stop in front of a door with a sign next to it labeled 206. They open the door and see a struggling flushed Rin being held down by four nurses. Two on each side, trying to calm her down.
Ryo's laughing in a chair, he then glances in Kukai's direction and stands up. He walks to Kukai with a smirk. "Hey, she just has a normal high cold but needs rest. It seems she slept in the cold last night. But judging from her struggling now, it seems she still has some strength." Rin finally gets pinned down, her eyes slowly close and the nurses sigh tiredly as they leave the room. "I see you brought Rima with you." Rima nods a bit then walks to Rin's side. She looks at Rin's sleeping face and looks seriously at her.
"Uh, Rima? What are you doing?" Kukai asks.
"Trying to see if any feature of hers matches mine, since you guys said she used to look me." Kukai laughs a bit then looks seriously at Ryo. Ryo and Kukai talk seriously and Rima listens closely while looking at Rin.
"Do you know how she could have gotten a cold?" Ryo looks suspiciously at Kukai.
"No. Maybe she just accidently slept on her ledge, she always does that." Kukai retorts rudely
"You sure?" Ryo's not convinced.
"Yes! It's your fault we're like this! All yours!" Kukai yells, hurt in his eyes. Ryo sighs and scratches the back of his head. Kukai clenched his fists tightly in response.
"…It's not my fault. And she forgot about it-"
"She never forgot." Ryo looks at Kukai with wide eyes. "Never."
"Mm." Rin moves around a bit and her eyes slowly open. Her face shows a smile filled with relief and love. Rin grabs Rima and hugs her warmly. "Fai, I love you." Rima's eyes widen, she tries to squirm her way out but Rin's grip is too tight.
"Told you she has a sleeping problem." Kukai mocks Rima, she glares at him. Rin let's go and gets up hurriedly. Her eyes are filled with fright as she jumps off the bed. Everyone runs after her but she runs to the end of the hall and opens a door with the number 210. She opens the door and sees a little blonde boy sleeping in the hospital. His hair is short, a bit spiked, his sleeping face is innocent and sweet. Rin falls to her knees and soon the three of them come in and see a bewildered Rin on her knees. Ryo and Kukai carry Rin back to her room and she sleeps peacefully on her bed.
"She probably had a nightmare…" Ryo whispers.
"No duh." Kukai says irritatedly. Rima looks quietly at Rin, trying to comprehend what happened. "I'll tell you everything later Rima." He whispers in her ear.
Why did she hug me?...more importantly…who was the blonde boy sleeping? She did not understand why she was so interested in Rin, she wasn't interested in anyone other than Amu and comedy.
Me: Dun Dun Dun. Lol. Well, who's the blonde boy? Why does Rin sleepwalk/talk? Why is Kukai so mean to Ryo all of a sudden? Why is Rima so interested in Rin? Well I don't know-
Rin: Yah you do idiot. You're the author. He's-*gets punched in the face and goes unconscious*
Me: Sorry Rin but you are NOT ruining anything! I'll update soon! See ya!
