Chapter 14: Mom returns.

Rima's pov.

I was attacked by a hug the second the door opened. I couldn't breathe my mom was hugging me to tight.

"Mom, I can't breathe!" I forced out.

"I'm sorry Rima!" She said letting go.

"I missed you so much mom!" I said.

I wrapped my arms around my mom's neck and hugged her. Her hands were on my back. Mom stayed for the day, and we talked. I filled her in on everything, on how I was living with Nagi, I left out that we were dating, it would make her so mad. I told her a bit about Nadeshiko and how much I loved living here. I was about to tell her about how the surgery went when Amu burst into the room.

"Rima!" Amu gasped out of breath.

"Amu? What is it?" I asked concerned.

"Your … dad… he escaped from prison" she said gasping.

I must have looked terrified, stunned and every other scared feeling you could think of. I felt arms embrace me, I look up to see Nagi. I look over at my mother and she looked the same as I did. Worried, Scared and terrified.

"Mom?" I asked trying to get her attention.

"Yes rima?" She said in a daze.

"Mom, I will be okay. I am safe here. Dad hadn't found you after you left. We will be okay." I said.

"Does he know you're here?" She asked snapping out of her daze.

I shook my head.

"Thank God. I have to go home, stay safe." She said.

Mom kissed me on top of my head and left. I sat there still in a daze from Amu's news. I had to admit I was scared. After all he knew where I went to school and he might know I live here now. What if he knows where Mom lives, she just doesn't know that he knows? What should I do? I wondered to myself.

"Rima?" I heard Kusukusu whine.

"KUSUKUSU!" I yelled in surprise.

"Rima, are you okay?" She asked.

"Where have you been?" I asked her,

"You told me to go watch over your mom when you moved here. Remember?" She said.

Flashback.

I was packing to go to Nagi's when he rescued me.

"Kusukusu?" I asked.

"Yes Rima?" She replied.

"Go watch over mom." I told her.

"but, Rima!" She said concerned.

"Watch over mom, and if dad finds her. Come get me" I told her.

"Okay Rima." She replied sadly.

I watched as she flew out the window. I watched her leave and then Nagi told me we had to go.

Flashback end

"Oh yeah" I said

"Told you!" Kusukusu giggled.

I smiled at Kusukusu, "RIMA SMILED" she yelled then giggled.

I stared at her while smiling and she just kept giggling.

A few hours after my mom left we all had fun, I didn't move around much. I watched everyone play basketball, Nagi and Amu invited Kukai and Utau over. No one could beat Nagi as I expected. After watching for a while Nagi ran over to me, swung me over his shoulder. I was squeling, smiling and laughing all at once. It had been a long time since I have had fun!

A few hours later Bayaa called us in to eat some dinner. Nadeshiko came in and Amu glomped her. I sat there laughing when my phone buzzed.

To Rima-Chi

RIMA CHI! Yaya is texting you! Yaya wants to hang out! Yaya in Japan! Tell Yaya where you are so Yaya can come see Rima Chi!

From Yaya

I stared at the text, Nagi shook my shoulder.

"Rima, are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm better than okay, I'm great! Yaya is here in Japan!" I said excitedly.

"Really!" Amu yelled.

"Can she come over and join us Nagi? We can all have a huge sleepover!" I exclaimed,

"I guess so, anything for my Rima" Nagi said as he hugged me.

I smiled and started texting Yaya.

To Yaya

If you want to come, Me, Nagi, Amu, Nadeshiko, Kukai and Utau are all at Nagi's house. We were going to have a huge sleepover. Come!

From Rima.

I put my phone in my pocket and then I wondered.

"Amu? What happened to Tadase?" I asked.

She froze "Well I heard he moved to China after I left. I haven't heard from him since." She said looking down.

My phone buzzed twice. One text was from Yaya.

To Rima Chi.

Yaya would love to come! Be there in 20 mins!

From Yaya.

I smiled at her text then checked the other. It was … … "TADASE!"

"What about Tadase?" Amu asked.

"I have a text from him" I stuttered.

"WHAT! READ IT!"

To Rima.

I am in Japan, my family moved back. Could we talk?

From Tadase.

"He wants to talk to me" I whispered.

"Rima, you should go talk to him." Nagi said.

I nodded and went to text him back.

To Tadase.

I would love to talk! Meet you at the park in 10 minutes.

From Rima.

"I asked him to meet me at the park in 10 minutes" I told everyone.

"You might want to text Yaya to meet you there too" Nagi said.

"Yeah okay."

I quickly texted Yaya then left. Little did I know that all my friends were following me.

I walked the few minutes to the park and sat down on a swing and waited for Tadase to find me. My phone buzzed.

To Rima

Mashiro-san. I am waiting by the ice cream stand.

From Tadase.

I got up and walked over to the ice cream stand and saw the familier blonde hair. I walked over and tapped his shoulder. He turned around and hugged me.

"Tadase, how have you been?"

"Mashiro-san, I have something to tell you" He said.

He slightly pulled away and put his hands on my hips. I stared into his maroon eyes.

"Tadase?" I asked.

"Rima, I love you. I always have and I always will."
