RIMA'S POV
I ran all the way out of the Fujisaki mansion and into the garden. I broke through the thick branches of the trees surrounding me and into a secret path I spotted. I ran as fast as possible, not caring if the dark shrouded my surroundings and I plopped my back onto the trunk of a tress. I jumbled up my knees together to form a ball and I sat there, sobbing. I was alone, and Kusu Kusu didn't even follow me.
I cried because my life was going downhill. I lost my best friend to another friend who falsely poses as the former queen's chair. And I now know that I honestly and positively HATE HIM! He tricked me into believing that the Fujisaki's are a nice family, a nice normal family where I could hang out and forget my troubles. I am so stupid.
I mentally hit myself on the head, scolding myself why I believed that jerk. After a while, I felt my brain was about to burst and I shrieked: "I hate you, Fujisaki Nagihiko!!"
My high pitched voice echoed through the air and I didn't care if he heard it. I want him to know that I hate him and there is no way I am going to fall for him again.
Satisfied that I now shouted into the world that I truly hated him, I stood up and wiped the tears from my eyes. I should return back to my enemy's home before they get all worried. Psh, why would they? They probably forgot about me anyway. Amu's too busy talking to that fake traitor she mistaken for that she never would have noticed me anyway.
So, I started toward my enemy's home when I heard an audible noise that sounded sort of like chuckling. I spun around to see a figure perched on top of a tree.
"Seriously, are you planning to stalk Amu now that she came back…Ikuto?" I mumbled.
The figure chuckled again and jumped down the tree, landing in a soft thud.
"So you really hate him?" the figure asked.
I widened my eyes in surprise. Since when did Ikuto sound like a girl? Unless…. It's someone else!
"G-Gomen, I thought you were someone else." I mumbled again.
"Hmm… Ikuto?" She asked, her eyes glinting from the moonlight.
I nodded.
"Oh. Unfortunately, I'm not him. I'm his ex-girlfriend…" She slurred the last word in a strange tone as she examined her long nails from her right hand.
Wait, Ikuto had a girlfriend? He never told me that, neither Amu nor any of the guardians.
"G-girlfriend?" I repeated in a frightened tone.
She took a glimpse of my shocked face and burst into laughter. "I'm kidding! I never was his girlfriend! I barely even know him!"
I felt my hands ball into fists.
"Who are you then?" I asked, getting angry. Although I may be small, it doesn't mean that I could be messed around with.
"I'm Lilith. I came here from America." She smiled.
"Why are you here?" I clenched my fists even tighter, my knuckles turning while and matching the pale color of her face.
"I was actually born here but I had to transfer back for some reason I can't tell." She tossed a glossy black lock of hair over her shoulder and smiled.
I huffed stubbornly and crossed my arms.
"So, you haven't answered my question. Do you really hate him?" She asked leaning closer until her face was very close to mine.
"Who?" I retorted.
"That Fujisaki Nagihiko guy, you were screaming about." She smirked.
For some reason, her smirking reminded me of Ikuto.
"Why do you want to know?" I turned around.
"Cause, you were screaming his name." She grinned and lifted her head to the moon. "I Hate You Fujisaki Nagihiko!" She mocked.
"Screw you." I cursed under my breath.
"I'm sorry. What?" She asked in a purposely confused tone.
"Never mind." I muttered.
"Oh. You better go back. It's late. You know that at this time of night, perverts roam around in the streets?" She smirked again.
"I know completely WELL!" I shouted.
"Perverts also have good hearing. They can hear lost little innocent girls like you scream their lover's name and track them down." She added in an evil tone.
"ALRIGHT! I'LL GO!" I shouted at her again and spun around to go back.
"Heh. I'll meet you again soon… Mashiro Rima." I could hear her say softly.
I stopped, and felt a chill run up my spine. How does she know my name?? I don't remember telling her my name. I spun around to demand why she knew my name but she was gone.
Crapcrapcrapcrap and even more crap. I'm lost now. I'm so stupid. Why did I run away to an unknown road just to break down and cry like blubbering baby? Why couldn't I run home or at least to the park? Oh right, because I'm stupid.
So I am running, breathing in little frantic breaths, panic is rising from my chest. Adrenaline was rushing through my veins and I knew that Lilith's words could come true. It was late at night and the cold night wind howled on my skin, making me shiver.
Right now, I care about getting to the safe Fujisaki's mansion where I can finally do my haiku I forgot about and then sleep in the cozy silk sheets. I still kept in mind that I still hate him. But the faster I find him, the more I will be safe. So instead of running around in circles and hope for a miracle, I shouted his name, risking the fact that perverts would track me down.
"Fujisaki NAGIHIKO!"
No answer. Frustrated and scared, I screamed his name again and again.
"NAGIHIKO!"
"NAGIHIKO!"
"NAGI-" My mouth was clamped over by a hand. They found me. I'm doomed. I won't die at a successful age or life. I will remain a big burden to everyone. I won't have a chance to love or get married. I won't have a chance to say goodbye to everyone. I feel tears fill the rims of my eyes. Goodbye Amu. Goodbye Aiko. Goodbye Tadase, Yaya, Ikuto, Utau, and Kairi. Goodbye Mama and Papa. Goodbye Nagi-
"Shh…" Said a gentle voice. "It's late. You don't want perverts to track you down."
I blinked.
That voice…
Quickly, I brushed the hand covering my mouth away and spun around to see who it was.
It was him.
"We were looking everywhere for you." He let out a weak smile.
I looked at him and then moved my eyes down.
"Just…take me back. I need to do my haiku." I mumbled.
His warm hand grabbed mine and we both weaved back to his mansion without a word.
As we went back inside, I was almost tortured with endless questions from Amu.
"Rima! Where were you? Are you hurt? What happened to your eyes? We looked everywhere for you!" She cried as she wrapped her arms around me tight.
I released her grip and let out a sigh.
"I'm fine. I'll go to my room now. I need to do my homework anyway." I said quietly and walked into my room.
"Riiimmmmaaaa!" Kusu Kusu screamed as she floated to my side. "Kusu Kusu was worried about Rima!"
"I'm fine. Just tired. You should sleep." I let out a yawn to make it look real.
"Oh. Okay! Kusu Kusu will sleep to make Rima feel better!" She shouted happily and flew to her egg. She settled herself comfortably inside her egg before shouting, "Oyasumi, Rima!" and closing the top shell.
I have to admit that she is sweet. She does everything for me to make me smile. It seems that she and Moon were the only ones that I can trust.
I dragged my bag to a nearby table and piled the books on top. Flipping my notebook to a fresh, clean page, I scribbled: "My haiku by Mashiro Rima."
I dropped my pencil after that, unable to think of anything funny. I felt too sad, too tired to write a haiku about comedy. Instead, I closed my eyes and looked deep down inside me. With whatever I thought of, I managed to write a haiku. I didn't bother checking what I wrote, the counting of the syllables and the sudden tiredness washing over my body made it unbearable to think clearly and I ended up falling asleep on the table.
******************GOTHIC LOLITA***********************************
I was walking down a corner, headed to the school to start another new day. As usual, I walked to the same path that I always took. Ahead of me was Nagihiko, waiting to cross the street. He was reading a book to wait for the signal. I smiled and ran to catch up with him, when the light turned green. Nagihiko noticed the sign and started to walk.
"Na-Nagihiko!" I screamed as I ran.
He spun around in the middle of the empty street and waited for me, smiling.
I smiled back as I was almost to his side, when I heard tires squealing in the right side of the road. In the far end, I saw a black car, the tires were poofing smoke and the car raced quickly towards his direction. I stared in horror as I struggled to run faster, so I could push him out of the way.
"NAGIHIKO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as the car collided, resulting in a big BANG! That rang my ears.
There was a big, thick cloud of smoke and I coughed as I ran and knelt on the street by his side.
He was moaning, and holding his side, which was pouring blood down the gaps of his hands.
"Rima Chan." He said softly.
"NAGIHIKO!!" I screamed at his face, tears were streaming down.
"Rima Chan." He repeated.
"DON'T DIE!! DON'T DIE! I LOVE YOU!" I screamed and wailed.
"Rima Chan, I love you too." He smiled faintly. "I always did."
"DON'T DIE! I LOVE YOU!" I repeated over and over again, sobbing.
I grabbed his hand. He squeezed it faintly before loosening his grip and closing his eyes, a tear streaming down his left cheek.
"No," I shook my head between sobs. "NO! NAGIHIKO!!"
I screamed his name and sobbed. An ambulance alarm sounded and police men came out from their cars.
"Come on miss," A man put a hand on my shoulder.
I shook it off and continued to scream and sob uncontrollably.
"Miss," The man shook my shoulder again and again.
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I cried.
"Rima!" I heard mama, tugging on my shoulder like the policemen. "Let him go! He's dead!"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed again.
"RIMA!"
I opened my eyes and shot up. I was still at the Fujisaki's mansion, on the table. I must have fallen asleep, but I was still so shaken by the dream.
"You're awake." Amu said.
I turned to her and blinked my eyes.
"Are you okay?" she asked concerned.
"Fine," I muttered. "Just a bad dream."
"Oh. Okay. You better go to school now." She let out a smile and I nodded.
That was strange. I never had that dream before. I still remembered that I hated him. I blinked again and dumbly packed my books in my bag to start another day.
