I was singing Hana Tegami and I thought it was strange how I could sing Nagihiko's part easier then Nadeshiko's, even though I'm a girl.

The blond haired thief urged her friend on. "Come on!" She pleaded. "We gotta give everyone their food!"

"I know," Her friend sighed. "I helped you steal it, remember?"

The girl giggled. "Sorry," She said. "It's just that everyone looked so hungry…,"

"I know." Her friend said. "That's why we do this."

The girl giggled and kissed his cheek. "Right." She said.

Rima's POV

Apparently I was only going to be today let out if I could find a friend to stay with. Something to have to do with them not wanting me to be in a house with my dad and my mom getting hurt. I had an idea who that might be, but I really hoped I was wrong. Let's see… I can't stay over at Tadese's, Amu's parents aren't letting her have friends over, and Yaya had family visiting. Yes, it was as I feared. I was going to have to stay with Nagihiko. Of course everyone else had to be busy. Why god? Do you love to torture me? Anyways, Aika seemed really sad that I had to leave. I asked her when she thought she was going to get out, but all she did was get this look in her eye and say "Oh, no time soon" in a sad voice. It kind of makes me wonder… Oh well, I guess I'll see her later.

Aika- chan is very unique I heard Ryme say. You shouldn't treat things about her so carelessly. Did I mention that Ryme still wouldn't leave me alone?

"Rima-Chan," I blinked, waking up from my thoughts. Nagihiko was here.

"Oh, Nagihiko," I said. "You're here."

"Well, I'm the only one who could come." He grinned at me.

"Oh." I said. Ryme laughed in my head. "Um…,"

"I'm really sorry about what happened." Nagihiko said.

'How sweet.' Ryme commented. I shrug. "I'm okay."

"I'm glad." He gave me a smile and I felt myself blush.

"You shouldn't worry so much!" I say, still red.

"Hmm…," Nagihiko grinned.

"What?" I snap, annoyed.

"To-ma-to." He said, pocking my face. I scowl at him.

"That isn't funny!" I snap at him.

"I know," He smirks. "It's hilarious."

Nagihiko's POV

When we got to my house, Rima looked really surprised.

"Holy shit!" She exclaimed. "You live in a friggin' mansion!"

"Now Rima, you shouldn't swear." I tell her teasingly.

"But it's huge!" She protests. I look at it.

"Is it?" I ask. "Really?"

"I guess you don't have anything to compare it to, really." Rima mutters.

"Exactly," I smile at her then open the door.

"DIE YOU STUPID VAMPIRE!" I saw Rei running around chasing Yukito.

"Um…," I sigh and sweat drop. "What's going on?"

"Nagihiko!" Yukito saw me. "Save meee!"

"Why is Rei-san here?" I ask. Rima giggled.

"Oh, Nagihiko." Rei stopped torturing Yukito long enough for him to crawl away and Rei to turn and look at me. "Well, some construction's going on at my house so I was invited to stay here for the night."

"Oh." I said. "Why were you torturing Yukito?"

"Because no matter what anyone says, I hate him, and he's a stupid vampire." Rei explained. Then she realized that Rima was here. "I mean…,"

"There's no such thing as vampires." Rima said. "Is there?"

"Of course not, it's just sort of a joke," I explained, mentally thanking that no one believed in vampires anymore.

"Really." Rima shrugged.

"Oh, Nagi-nii! Ri-chan!" Yoko came out from a hallway and almost ran into me.

"Ri-Chan?" Rima twitched.

"Yep! I give everyone nicknames so that's yours!" Yoko explained. "Anyways, we better get your stuff and whatsits!"

"Oh, alright." Rima paused. "Where am I sleeping?"

"Weell, you could stay in Nagi-nii's room--," Yoko began.

"NO WAY!" Rima shouted.

"I was joking; anyways the only available rooms are next to his." Yoko said.

"Oh….," Rima muttered.

"Nagi-nii!" Yoko shouted to me. "Show Ri-Chan to her room!"

"Okay" I said. I'm used to Yoko's excessive hyperness. "Let's go, Rima-Chan."

"Fine." Rima muttered and followed me.

"Whose room was this?" Rima asked when we got there. I blinked.

"Oh," I said. "Nadeshiko-nee-san's,"

"Figures." Rima said and sat on the bed. "You can practically see her in it."

"I guess." Nadeshiko's room was filled with posters of her favorite things, her clothes, and almost everything else that made her Nadeshiko. Yes, Rima was right.

"And your letting me stay in it?" Rima asked.

"Well, yes, that's kinda why I brought you here." I explained.

"You don't mind?" Rima looked at me. I smiled.

"Why should I? It's just a room." I did mind, a little bit, but it wasn't my place to say.

"Liar." Rima frowned. I just laughed.

"You know me really well, don't you?" I said.

"I guess." Rima said then looked at the desk. "What's that?"

"What's what?" I asked then saw something on the desk. "A notebook, I think."

"You sound surprised." Rima noted.

"I've… never seen it here before." I admit. Rima gets off the bed and opens it. "I'm sorry Nagihiko."

"Huh?" I asked, confused.

"That's what it says." Rima explained then continued reading. "'I'm sorry for what happened. I left suddenly and never explained why. I hope you believe me when I say that I didn't want to go, that it was something that had to be done. You might not believe me, but I was forced. They were going to make me work for them by threatening you and our 'cousins.' I remember how we used to joke that our family had enough secrets to fix a house. I guess we never realized how much of a bad thing that it was. I don't know if you noticed, but you probably did because you're smart, but most kids don't really treat their younger siblings as nice as I treated you, especially since we share the same birthday. Most kids would probably be mad that an 'annoying little kid' was sharing a day that they got presents with, but I wouldn't be mad at you. You were the best birthday present I ever got. So, please forgive me. I might hurt you and I'm sorry. I won't say things like 'you wouldn't understand' or 'you'll get this someday,' all I'll say is this; I never wanted to hurt you, you are the most important thing in my life. Sincerely you're loving sister, Nadeshiko.'" Rima looked at me. I was pretty sure I was crying but I didn't care.

"I knew it." I said smiling. "I knew she had a good reason."

"Nagihiko…," Rima said, she then smiled. "Let's save her."

"Huh?" I blinked. "Save nee-san?"

"Nadeshiko is at the Misfortune Company, right?" Rima said. "And she doesn't want to be. All we have to do is take down that place and she'll be fine."

"Yeah, that's all we have to do." I said. "And that will be about as hard as defeating Easter, won't it?"

"Harder." Rima said seriously. I started laughing.

"Right," I said. "Harder." Then we were both laughing.

I felt better then I had in a long time.

Well that's the end of the chapter! The next one, I think I'll do something like the episode where Amu has a sleepover with 'Nadeshiko.' Like all the horrors Amu thought she saw…. Yeah, why not to go to Nagihiko's house…. And what sort of 'secrets' he has…. (Starts going into deep thought) Anyways, review!
