(Tuesday, before school starts)

Nagihiko's P.O.V.

I walk into the schoolyard without Nadeshiko. She ran off with Hotori-kun, whom she now calls "Tadase-kun".

"Rima-chan!" I wave to the said person. To my surprise, she doesn't glare at me like she usually does; she just smiles softly.

"Hey, Nagihiko." Another surprise. She usually just ignores me.

Amu-chan, who was walking beside Rima-chan, stares at us.

"Aren't you two enemies?"

I smile at her. "Not today, Amu-chan. Not today."

With that, Rima-chan and I walk off to classes, leaving Amu-chan behind.

"That wasn't very nice, Nagihiko."

I laugh.

"You're one to speak, Rima-chan."

She pouts, and turns away.

"Hey, Rima-chan. We are going out, right?"

She shrugs. "Yeah."


"NO! NAGI-SAMA!"

Fangirls. They're the most annoying thing on the planet, but you can never get rid of them.

"NO! RIMA-SAMA!"

On second thought, fanboys are worse, especially if they're chasing after your girlfriend.

After Rima-chan and I announced that we were going out, chaos broke out, and we were chased down by fangirls and fanboys. Oh, and all of the former Guardians, minus Nadeshiko and Hotori-kun, who were too busy doing something somewhere else.

After a long escapade, Rima-chan and I manage to lock ourselves in the janitor's closet.

"Hey, Nagihiko. Do you have a watch?" Shoot. I forgot it at home today.

"Sorry, Rima-chan. I kinda forgot it at home today...

"Idiot."

I look at her, surprised. Normally, she would be seething mad at me, but this time, she's so docile.

"Rima-chan? Are you okay?"

"Of course I'm okay! What kind of question is that?"

Oh, good. She hasn't gone completely crazy.

Then, Rima-chan's face softens.

"I'm okay because I'm with you." She comes over and hugs me.

Wait.

What?

Rima-chan's hugging me?

Scratch that, Rima-chan's hugging me?

She looks up.

"Are you okay, Nagihiko?"

"I-I'm fine."

Wow. I've never seen this side of Rima-chan. She's so calm and sweet. I guess everyone has a soft side.


Amu's P.O.V.

I'm still shocked at what Nagihiko and Rima-chan announced today. They're going out? I mean, they've hated each other since they first lay eyes on each other! Well, Rima-chan has. I'm not sure about Nagihiko. Oh, well, I hope that they'll be happy together. My two best friends getting together! I'm so happy for them.


Rima's P.O.V.

Ever since Kukai dared me to kiss Nagihiko, I've been thinking nonstop about him. I think I love him. I even dared to show him my softer side, the one that no one, and I repeat, no one has ever seen before, except Kusu-kusu. I'm not surprised at his reaction, I would've done the same.

"Rima-chan?"

"Hmm?"

"Um, could you let go a bit? I'm kinda suffocating here..."

"No." I decide to be blunt again.

He sweat-drops. I grin up at him, another thing that only Kusu-kusu has seen me do. Speaking of which, where are the charas? Why isn't Kusu-kusu giggling with Temari, while Rhythm yells "Go, Nagi!" at Nagihiko?

"Nagihiko?"

"Yes, Rima-chan?"

"Where are the charas?"

"At another one of Kiseki's meetings. Why?"

"I just noticed that they weren't here."

"Mmkay."

We stay like this, my arms wrapped around his middle and his chin on my head, for a while. Nagihiko shifts.

"Rima-chan? Could you please loosen up a little?"

"Fine." I loosen my arms a bit.


In the end, Amu chose Ikuto since Tadase and Nadeshiko got together, Kukai and Utau were already dating from all those trips to the Ramen shop, Yaya spent more and more time with Kairi, and Nagihiko and I had a nice and chaotic life together, mostly arguments involving whose hair is better, although it's obvious that my hair is far superior to his.


A/N: This story is over now. I'm sorry for the cheesy ending, and Rima was supposed to be OOC.
