Chapter 7
-Rima's POV-
"I'm home!!!!!" Nagihiko yelled out as we opened the front door to his house. I stepped in and put my shoes on the ground where it could be out of the way.
"Go to Baaya or my mother. I have to put my stuff away." Nagihiko stated and started walking up the stairs. Before I went to go see Baaya, I took a minute to look around the room to see any changes to his house but it was all still basically the same. His house had a warm feeling to it though; unlike my house where it's like a war zone every day.
"Good afternoon Mashiro-san. What brings you here?" Baaya politely welcomed me and bowed.
"Good afternoon Baaya," I replied and bowed back."I came here with Nagihiko and I wanted to see his mother." I stated.
"I see," She chuckled. "It looks like you two are getting along rather well I should say!"
I blinked at the statement."Yeah, I guess." I looked at Baaya blankly then smiled.
"-and it seems you two would make a lovely couple!" Baaya chuckled. The smile on my face disappeared and I felt heat rushing to my face.
"I'll just ignore that..." I muttered quietly as I twitched at what the elderly lady had just said.
As Baaya was chuckling, I heard footsteps from the stairs. I snapped my head up to see Nagihiko coming down the stairs. He smiled and walked over to the chuckling housekeeper and me.
"Want to go look at my room, Rima? There are snacks and we can watch T.V." Nagihiko said. I sighed and started walking towards the stairs. Nagihiko just stood there and looked at me with a weird expression.
"Is that a yes or no?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.
"If I was walking to the stairs then wouldn't that mean yes?" I replied. He smiled and I started walking up the stairs. While I was walking, I could hear Baaya tell all the other maids that Nagihiko and I would make a cute couple. I sighed. We're just best friends, why can't everyone just leave us at how we want to be? I thought as I walked up the stairs.
-Nagihiko's POV-
"You're room is still clean as ever." Rima said as she looked around my room while sitting on my bed. I rolled my eyes.
"That's because you were here about a week ago." I replied. She shot a glare at me, her infamous cute chibi glare at me. I smiled softly at the glaring shortie.
"Go turn on the T.V." I chuckled at Rima. She stubbornly sat up from my bed and turned on the T.V.
"Ugh, Naruto. The dubs are horrible." I twitched at the ninja T.V show that was showing. (A/N: I do not own Naruto)
"I know, right?" Rima agreed and turned it to a different channel.
"Fruits Basket. The dubs are okay but the romance is too..." Rima trailed on. "Obvious." she said as she found the right word for it. I narrowed my eyes. (A/N: Don't own Fruit's Basket either)
"Huh?"
"A bad boy and a good girl, Nagihiko. It's pretty obvious if you ask me." Rima closed her eyes and ate some pocky from my drawer. I picked up the remote and changed it to a different channel.
"How about Bleach?" I asked the little blonde that was drinking a bottle of Sprite. (A/N: Don't own Bleach either!)
"There's no romance in it." she quickly stated as she picked up another stick of pocky.
"There is romance in it." I replied, putting emphasis on the 'is'.
"Between who?"
"Ichigo and Orihime. Orihime almost kissed Ichigo and almost told him that she likes him. And plus, when Orihime went missing, Ichigo was practically depressed about it." I told Rima that was drinking out of the Sprite bottle. I twitched at the short blonde and took the Sprite from out of her hands.
"Hey!" she yelled at me. I smirked; my evil smirk and air drank out of the Sprite bottle. She ran up to me and I put my hand on her head, blocking her from getting any closer to me and the Sprite bottle. Rima's hands flew around furiously, trying to win the Sprite back but it was too late, I had drank it all. I sighed and threw the Sprite bottle in the nearby trash can of my room.
"I backwash you know." the little blonde muttered glaring at me. I smirked once again.
"So?"
"You don't care?" Rima questioned me. I rolled my eyes at her.
"I don't. We're best friends right?" I looked at her with serious eyes. We both had stood there for a moment that seemed like it has had been an eternity, gazing into each other's eyes.
"Yeah, we are." Rima said breaking the long silence and me that seemed to have been in a trance. She smiled softly at me and sat back at my bed to change the channel. I smiled quietly and also sat on my bed, bringing a bag of Hot Cheetos.
'What was that just now?' I asked myself in my thoughts, hoping to get an answer.
That was love, my dear friend.
Conscience? Wow, I actually got an answer.
Yeah, yeah whatever... anyways you should tell her.
Tell her what?
That you love her!
Even if I did, it would probably ruin our friendship.
So you figured out you love her?
Aren't you smart?
You should tell her! She might love you back.
Yeah right, she only see's me as a friend.
You're such a coward! I'm leaving. Bye Scaredy cat Fujisaki.
I twitched as my conscience left me once again. I took out a handful of Hot Cheetos from the bag and started eating them one by one when we started watching an interesting anime.
-Rima's POV-
"Sho makes a cuter couple with Kyoko!"
"Ren does!"
We both sat here, glaring at each other about the love triangle of Skip Beat. Apparently, we've been watching it for hours while I was waiting for Nagihiko's mom to come back home. Actually, I forgot what I needed to tell her. (A/N: I don't own Skip Beat.)
"Rima, Sho is childhood friends with Kyoko!"
"Sho is a bitch! Ren is more gentle and nicer!"
"Sho doesn't want to see Kyoko cry-Gah! Why am I arguing about this anyway?" Nagihiko yelled and threw his hands up in the air.
"It's because you started it." I giggled in response. I felt Nagihiko's warm smile as he looked at me with gentle eyes. I looked up at him.
"What?"
"Nothing. It's just..." Nagihiko trailed on.
"Just what?"
-BOOM-
Nagihiko snapped his head up at the window and dashed straight to it.
"There's a storm." He said as he looked out the window at the streets flooded with water and lightning striking trees down.
"Great." my eyes narrowed down at the storm.
Au-Chan: Awesome job Vanna-Chan! :D
Vanna: :D
Rima: Ugh...
Nagi: Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed, please review if you want another chapter, and criticism is welcome! :D
