Marie: Hey, I felt like opening this before she could.

Me: Marie shut up now. You're going to give me a headache.

Marie: To bad! Like I said before Sakura doesn't own Shugo Chara if she did there wouldn't be a show.

Me: -_- I'm way to use to this abuse. Why did she have to start commenting on my story?

Marie: Because you're a total pushover.

Me: You're annoying now shut up so we can go onto the story.

Marie: Whatever. Enjoy the story. I'm gonna try to be nicer.

Me: Key word try. She won't get very far.

Disclamier: I do not own Shugo Chara or any of its characters. Or the guest character.

Marie: Guest Character? Me?

Me: No not you he's a character from another anime. I'll tell you at the end of the story for anyone who doesn't know who he is.

Flashback:

"Yaya you're little off topic there." Kukai said. "We're not trying to make her feel guilty. But still, I play basketball with Nagi every chance I get. But he always talks about you, how he wishes you didn't hate him. Or how he wishes he knew some way to make you happy, to make you smile and laugh. That's all he wants, that's all he's ever wanted from you. He doesn't want you to be sad or angry. Just. Happy."

End of Flashback:

Nagi's P.O.V.

"Tadaima*." a voice called out from the door. I smiled Dad was finally home that was a huge relief. "I've brought someone with me."

My Dad walked into the room followed by another person with long purple hair and golden eyes just like mine. "Konbanwa*." he said. "It's good to see you again."

"Oh Azuma it's good to see you again as well." Mom said standing up.

"I hope I'm not intruding." he said tilting his head to the left. "I didn't want to drive home in this type of weather. Especially on the highway. What with all the crazy drivers out there."

"You're not intruding." Mom said hugging him. "Of course you shouldn't be driving in this weather. No one should be. Now honey come on and lets finish up dinner." Mom and Dad left to go to the kitchen talking about the roads and oncoming storm.

"You sure have a lot of friends Nagihiko." Azuma said turning towards me his smile dissappearing. "I didn't know you were capable of having so many friends."

"I didn't know you were either." I said giving him my best fake smile. "Wait then again they don't know that you're a complete psycho path."

"I'd watch what you say Nagihiko." he said lowly.

"Oh why would that be?" I asked tilting my head and raising an eyebrow.

"You're not the only one with a secret." he said shrugging. "I've been know to let things...slip."

"What is there to let slip?" I asked. "They know that I've dressed and danced as a girl. They know I was kidnapped. They know I'm having lung surgery. I don't have any other secrets. How's Kazuki? Haven't heard from him in a while. Did he found out that you're not who you've lead them all to believe."

"I wasn't talking about any of that." he said walking towards me and putting his head near mine and said lowly. "I was talking about Asami*."

My face pailed and I clenched my hands into tight fists. Everyone was looking at me. He said it loud enough for them to hear. Crap. "There is nothing to tell. Asami has nothing to do with me."

"Really?" he said turning around to head into the the kitchen. "That's not what I heard from Asami. We talked a few days ago, she misses you." And with that he left the room. I lowered my head. No matter how much we looked alike we were nothing alike.

"Nagi I thought you weren't in touch with Asami anymore." Tadase said coming up to me. "What was that all about."

"I'm not in touch Asami I haven't talked to her since 8th grade." I told him my voice flat and cold. "He's trying to make it seem like I'm hiding something."

"Are you?" Rima asked staring at the doorway. "Who's Asami."

"A girl that I was supposed to marry." I said and rushed onto the explaining part as the room filled with gasps. "It wasn't by choice. It was an arranged marriage that my Grandmother made. Mom managed to talk her out of it, I didn't want and Asami didn't want either. I don't know why he brought her up. The last time we talked was in 8th grade and Asami had found a boyfriend that she was very happy about. And we agreed that that would be that last time we talked. And it was. Maybe she does miss me. I miss her but not like that, she was a smart girl and beautiful but not the type of girl I like. We had nothing in common and it made us both miserable."

"Wow you're family has some pretty deep traditions." Kukai said with a whistle.

I laughed, but it was hard and distant. "Yeah my family does, some of them make me not so proud of my ancestors."

"Err Nagi I'm scared now." Kukai said. "You're going all demonic on me."

"Sorry. I really don't like my cousin." I said smiling a small smile. "Come on I won't have to deal with him after supper, Mom's been wanting to cook ham for awhile now.

"Ok." Kukai said brightning up after that. We walked into the kitchen. Yup they were going to get a good story alright.

"Wow you're mom sure is a good cook Nagi." Kukai said plopping down on the bed next to me. "I'm taking it you learned from her?"

"Yeah." I said shaking my head. "But she's still better than I am."

"You'll get better, I mean you cook for us a lot." Amu said on the other side of me on the bed. "Practice makes perfect right. Well you're already good at it so you'll only get better."

"Thanks Amy." I laughed. "Anyways what do you guys want to do?"

"I want to know about your cousin." Yaya said. "You guys look so much a like."

"Yeah, sadly." I said. "He goes to Seiso Academy. He's under the Music Department there. He plays the flute. He's actually not that bad at it. He's very careful on how he acts around people so that no bad rumors spread about him. But it's all an act. He's the opposite of what he acts like."

"Wow you really don't like him do you?" Yaya asked me.

"We don't get along too well." I replied. "We never have. And it's only gotten worse as we get older."

"Wow." Amu said. "Is that because you have nothing in common or just because of how he acts."

"Both I guess." I shrugged. "We don't have much in common with each other. Than the fact that we both look alike."

"I see." Rima said quietly. Great now what is she planning. "You look alike but you personalities are so different it's impossible for you too get along."

"Well I wouldn't say impossible." I said scratching the back of my head. "Just none of really want to get along."

"So you're both just stubborn." Rima said looking at me. "I don't know what to say about that. Well, yes I do actually, you're both stupid, but you are a crossdresser so no surprise there."

"Thanks so much Rima." I replied sarcastically. "Thanks for the reminder."

"Of course." she said sweetly. "Didn't want you to forget now do I."

"Yeah yeah." I said yawning. I shook my head and looked at them.

"Tired?" Tadase asked. "You said you haven't been sleeping well lately."

"Just a bit but I'm ok." I said. "It's nothing big."

"You've been having the same nightmare since your surgery." Tadase said. "I don't think that's normal."

"What's your nightmare about?" Amu asked.

"Oh it's nothing important." I said. "I don't really remember it too much when I wake up."

"Oh, ok." Amu said. "What time is it anyways?"

I looked at the clock on the otherside of my bed. "It's 11:30 now."

"Wow it's pretty late." Amu said yawning. "I think it's time we all got some sleep."

"Yeah I'm pretty tired too." Yaya said laying her head on Kairi's shoulder. "Is it ok if we go to sleep Nagi?"

"No Yaya you have to stay up." I said standing up. "Of course you can. Hold on I'll get blankets for you guys."

"Don't worry about that." Amu said walking over to her duffle bag. "We all brought blankets and stuff. We'll be warm since it's warm in your house. And if the power does go out then we'll all be close enough to stay warm."

"Ok we'll be in here so it is going to be a bit cramped." I said. "And two of you can have the bed I'll sleep on the floor."

"What?" Amu said looking up from her duffle bag. "No way Nagi. You get the bed."

"No two or one of you girls can share." I said walking out into the hall. "I'll sleep on the floor. It doesn't bother me."

"Alright." Amu said. "What are you doing?"

"Telling Mom we're going to bed." I said walking out of the room. I made my way downstairs and into the living room where Mom and Dad where busy watching the news. "Hey Mom we're going to bed."

"Alright Nagihiko." Mom said looking at me. "Sleep well."

"Ok." I said going back upstairs and grabbing a blankets out of the closent. "Here are some extra blankets." I said walking back into my room and laying all but two blankets down by the door. "If you wake up cold then just grab some."

"Ok thanks Nagi." Amu said from the bed. Her and Rima apparently decided to take the bed. "Night."

"Night." I said lying down next Tadase. Ikuto layed down on the other side.

"Hey Nagi." Tadase whispered as Kukai turned the lights off since he was the closest. "Wake me up if you have that dream ok. Before you forget."
"I'm fine Tadase. Really." I whispered back. "Don't worry about me."

"You can't sleep anymore Nagi." he said to me turning on his side to face me.

"Alright if I have it again I'll wake you up." I said yawning. "Night."

"Night Nagi." Tadase said giving a quiet laugh.

I smilied and pulled the blankets over me. Maybe having so many people in here with me would keep the dreams away. Then again this was probably just going to be another long night.

Me: Alright the end of this chapter. Sorry it took so long. It was supposed to be up last week but I friend stay with for the week and I just now got time to work on it. She went home yesterday and I was just too tired to work on it. But it's done now.

Marie: For once she isn't making an excuse. It was funny how tired she was.

Me: What happened to being nice?

Marie: It's impossible to be nice to you.

Me: Wonderful. So did anyone know who our guest was? It was Azuma Yunoki from the anime La Corda d'Oro. He looks like the older version of Nagi. It's is a really good and funny anime to watch. I loved though I haven't finished the first season yet. But I think there are at least two.

Me: Review and tell me what you think.

Tadaima: I'm home

Konbanwa: Good Evening
