Chapter 14
OMG!!! I am sooo sorry I did not get to update so soon:) Anyways, I'll try to make up for it so keep on checking...let's say...every week:) Anyway, this chapter is going to be interesting. Thanks to all who reviewed!
~~~~~~~~Ki's POV (In case you do not remember, Ki is Midori's Shugo Chara~~~~~~~~
It was a silent night today. The hotel was somehow relaxed and silent as you can hear the cricket's chirping. Everyone was slumbering in their own pleasant rooms.
I carefully lifted my egg then sneakily floated out the door. The hallway was dark and scary (Why wouldn't it be? It's 12:00 a.m.). I first came to the room of Rima (Who was room mates with Amu)
I came to her then touched her on the forehead. "Meet..." I muttered. Rima softly smiled in her sleep then I gave out a smile of my own. After I was done smiling, I headed out the door then went to Nagihiko's room. I did the same thing to him then headed back to Midori's room where I snuggled back into my little egg that Midori kept in the basket beside her bed.
Note* Meet is a move you can use for snoozing people. If you use it on two people, the two will eventually meet in their own little world while they are asleep and so they would have the same dream with each other. Ki did this so Rima and Nagihiko may have their moment in dreamland.
~~~~~~~~Rima's POV~~~~~~~~
It was a dreamless sleep for tonight until I heard someone say 'Meet...' The voice was a high soprano and a wonderful melody. After that, I saw everything around me turn white. A little more time passed then there he appeared in a shining round ring as it circled around him. He stood before my very eyes, the teenage Nagihiko!
He seemed shocked at first then he looked at me. "Rima-chan?" He asked with raised eyebrows. I automatically ran then clang to him. "Nagihiko!!!" I bawled. I was overjoyed! I wouldn't normally do this but still! He touched the top of my head then sincerely smiled. "This is a dream..." He whispered with sad eyes. My eyes grew wide with shock. What's proof that this isn't a dream?! "...Yet...you feel so real..." He gently raised my chin up then lifted my face up so it was the level of his.
If I were in real life right now, I would struggle away since I did not want to admit that I...that I...Oh who am I lying to?! Myself wouldn't spill the fact that...
I AM IN LOVE WITH NAGIHIKO FUJISAKI!!!
Gosh! It's about time I realized!
"I love you..." I whispered. He smiled warmly at me then pulled my face in until my lips touched his.
It was sweet and wonderful. An unexplainable, amazing sensation yet it was an amateur kiss. After a little while, he pulled away with a satisfied look and I, too was satisfied. I've always wanted to not hide my feelings for him. In fact, I didn't even know I was in love. When I told Kirishima a year ago that I couldn't imagine myself dating a guy, I honestly thought that was true...until right now I realize that the feeling back then was that I didn't want to date someone that isn't him!
"Rima-chan..." He shoved some hair away from my face then kissed me at the tip of my nose. He sighed in defeat. "So I really am in a dream...The real Rima hates me. She would kill me if I ever did that..." His words were killing me inside! I just realized how deeply I am in-love with him and this is the happiest moment of my life so how could he think like that.
"N-Nagihiko...Don't think that...please!" I croaked. I covered my mouth. Why was my voice croaked! I was crying!!! NOOOO!!!! Nagihiko kneeled down then used his right, pointer finger to wipe a tear drop from my mouth. "Why are you crying?" He asked in a serious yet loving voice. "I-I love you...so don't think that. Please! It's killing me inside!" I used my arms to wipe my wet face.
He wrapped his arms around my waist. "No...You feel too real...No way can this be a dream. Maybe I'm in heaven" He said. I gasped. "Nagihiko, get back to your senses! You are not dead! And what's with the change of topic?!" I screamed. "No! No! What about the people I left?! The guardians, mother, Baaya, Rima-chan...Everyone! It would've been troublesome of me to leave just like that!" He held his face in his palms in frustration.
"liste..." "The funeral would cost a lot! I hope they don't spend too much and..." I was literally crying. Why does he speak like he really is dead?! I wanted to smack some senses into this boy's head!
I slapped him across the face then he looked at me with a confused expression but he didn't talk. He stayed quiet since he knew I had something to say. "Listen! You are not dead! If you are dead...and if I'm dead...This would be happiness because I AM WITH YOU!!!" I got him by the shoulder then kiss him. He returned the kiss. This time, it was more passionate compared to the first. I gradually pulled away.
"You know what, I love heaven." He smiled. He sat down then placed me in his lap. I snuggled my face in his warm coat. I inhaled some of his sweet aroma- it didn't smell like cologne, too. It was natural. It wasn't long before I got so addicted to the delicious scent that I started leaning in closer to his chest. Gosh! Am I a pervert? No...I'm not. I'm too cute for that. (Gosh! Rima, you just won't accept the fact!)
I somehow ended up asleep in his arms. "Nagihiko..." I before I snozzed off. Wait! Why am I sleeping in my sleep?!
Maybe...I really am in heaven...
I know I'm in heaven...
~~~~~~~~Normal POV: Next day~~~~~~~~
"Rima, Rima!" Amu shook the petite blonde back and forth in her bed. "ARGH!!! Rima, you need to wake up!" Amu whined. Ran, Miki and Su helped Amu by making loud noises with metal materials. "She won't wake up! I need some help!" Amu stormed off the room then headed to the room Ikuto, Tadase and Kukai slept in.
When she came back, she was pulling (forcefully pulling) three struggling boys. "JUST WAKE HER UP!!!" Amu whined. Ikuto stopped struggling then headed to Rima's bed. "WHOA!!! I WONDER HOW I CAN KISS THIS RIMA GIRL?!?! I WONDER IF I CAN DO A BALA-BALANCE, TOO?!?!" Ikuto yelled then did an imperfect pose of Bala-balance. Rima's eyes shot wide open. Her eyes were deadly too. She got Ikuto by the collar then beat him up. "NO you don't!!! Not unless you're Nagihiko!!! Only he kisses me!!!" Rima smacked Ikuto. He stopped struggling and he turned rigid after Rima said 'Not unless you're Nagihiko' and so did everyone else in the room. Rima immediately covered her mouth.
"R-Rima...what did you just say..." A pale white Amu asked. "Wait wait...So was it the Bala-balance that woke her up or the...kiss...?" Tadase wondered while he, himself was pale. Rima stayed quiet. She then bowed down so her bangs covered her eyes. When she looked up, she was teary and sobbing. "You're going to tell everyone...How very mean...And you're going to demand answers from me..." She sobbed. "Q-queen!!! W-we'll just forget about everything, ok!!! W-we'll go now! We won't tell!!!" Kukai panicked and before you know it, the room was empty.
"Heh..." Rima looked up triumphantly. "Always works. It seems they still can't tell apart from my tears" Then she went to change.
~~~~~~~~Nagihiko's POV~~~~~~~~
CRASH!!!
My eyes shot wide open as a huge chandelier fell before me. "W-what the?!" I covered my mouth at the surprise of my voice. It was still childish and young (Yes, like Hani's from Ouran). "I have to get used to this voice..." I sighed then scratched my head. Now just before I woke up, what was my dream again?
Rima-chan...that's right...She was my dream...
Humph...Rima-chan in my dreams wasn't right afterall. It all really was just a dream- the kiss, her love for me...everything
At least now I know that I'm not dead. I still owe Amu-chan Nadeshiko and I still plan to confess. And if I'm gone, poor Rhythm and Temari would disappear-everyone I know would get involved. Family members having to travel a long way just to see me and I'm not even moving, everything you pay for when you don't even need a fancy funeral...
The door crashed open, revealing a panting Tadase, Ikuto and Kukai.
"Why do you guys look just like you've been attacked by a wild, rampaging gorilla?" I tilted my head. Their damp faces lit up then Kukai took a step forward. "Guess what happened at chibi devil's today?" Kukai smirked. Who's chibi de-Oh yeah! Rima.
"What...?" I said casually, clearly not caring. I shoved my blankets off then stood up. I could've sworn I heard smirks from the boys behind me! This gossip must be interesting. I turned to them with a, this time, more curios expression.
"What happened at Rima's?" I asked, caring this time. Kukai took some steps and he was then towering over me (Ugh...I hate being small). He ruffled my hair (making it more messed up than it already is) then smiled. "She wanted you to ki-" He was abruptly stopped halfway as Utau literally jumped on top of him, hit him with her purse then finally kicked him but she kept his face by the wall.
"Are you an idiot?! You need to have respect for girls!!!" Utau screeched. "I surrender!!! Just get your foot of my face!!! I need this for the championship 'cause we might just be featured on TV!!!" Kukai pleaded but Utau dug her purple flats deeper into Kukai's cheeks. "You need to plead some more..." She threatened. Kukai gulped then placed his hands in a prying position. "Please, Utau!!! I'll do anything!!! ANYTHING!!!" "Anything?" Utau repeated. Kukai quickly nodded. Utau removed her foot from Kukai's face then smirked.
"Sing a duet with me." Utau said in a...sort of demanding way. Kukai literally clung onto Tadase. "No! Please!!! NOO!!!! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!" He cried. Utau flushed a bit but simply shook it off. Ikuto then tapped Kukai by the shoulder then whispered, "My sister's finally falling for someone that isn't me. I don't want to deal with her sisterly...love or whatever you call it..." Kukai was speechless for a moment until Tadase pushed Kukai towards Utau who grabbed him by the wrists then dragged him to the door saying things like 'sing', 'Kukai' and 'TV'. (Utau was actually thinking of making Kukai sing on TV with her)
"I'll go take a little walk by the park." I said, grabbing a blue sweater then I headed for the door.
~~~~~~~~In the park~~~~~~~~
There were no sounds but the squeaking of my swing that went back and forth as I thought about something...that is until...
"LOOK AT THAT BOY!!! HE'S HOT!!!" "No way..." I muttered. Before I got the chance to run away, some sassy gang of girls that were young too like me went running towards...ME! There were around six but I couldn't tell since they were all hugging and cuddling me. I am no stuffed toy!
"Hey..." They all FINALLY stopped then let go of me, only to be facing another gang like them. Ok...wrong term for finally. I should've said 'No! They let go of me and now there are more?!'...ya...That's the right thing to say:)
The leader of the gang who got a hold of me took a step forward. She had brownish hair that was held up to the side with a beaded ponytail. She wore a magenta coat with blue buttons. The coat ended on her thigh, a blue scarf tied around her neck, white stockings and black shoes.
"Kazumi, we got this cute guy first so go find a hotter one for yourselves!" The one with brown hair said. Her members held their arms around me protectively as if they were avoiding those girls from touching me.
From the other clique came out a girl with curly, orange hair that was let loose with just one butterfly clip the kept the bangs from her face. She wore a white gothic Lolita dress that ended around an inch above her knee. The dress had polka dots and a ribbon in between. Her shoes were plain white flats except for the brown lining underneath her closed shoes.
"Aimi, you are such a sore loser..." Everyone in...Aimi was it...well everyone from her gang gasped. I took the chance to run away as they argued but one of the girls caught my arm before I got the chance to. I would normally effortlessly shake their little hands off but I'm little myself!
I just want to go back to the hotel! It this what fate has for me?! To be stuck with more fangirls? I honestly thought that my youth could be my break but it attracted more!!! So this is where it ends...my ears will bleed due to their loud noises and I would die...goodbye...world...*sob*
~~~~~~~~Rima's POV~~~~~~~~
I walked back and forth...
Back and forth...
Back and forth...
"Where could Nagihiko be?!" I finally screamed for the 20th time in 3 minutes. When we all came to meet and Nagihiko wasn't there. Another 2 hours and he still wasn't there! The boys told us that he went to the park but he still hasn't come back! It is so unlike him to get lost or be late. He's pe...r...fect...I mean, it's not just me who thinks he's perfect! Everyone thinks he's perfect and hot and sweet and gentle and mysterious and understanding and an amazing guy so...so...it's totally normal for me to say all those thing about him...it doesn't mean I'm in-love or anything...
"Kyaa!!! Rima-tan, you're blushing!!!" Yaya mercilessly teased me, not caring how embarrassed I can be. "Ya...it's because it's so hot..." I said, using my tiny hands as a fan. Yaya smirked. "Who's hot, Rima-tan?" I would love to hit this girl on the head and tie her up with thick ropes so...
...so why can't I...hehe...
I got a rope from nowhere then ran after Yaya with it in my hands. "KYAAA!!! RIMA-TAN!!! PLEASE!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Please wait...
I calmly sat back to my seat with a satisfied expression they sipped from my hot chocolate. "Now that she's well taken care of, why don't we check on him in the park?" I said with a bit of worry in my voice. Of course, I didn't know my voice would turn out like that...
Silence Silence Silence
I looked up from my drink and saw that the guardians were all looking at poor Yaya. From head to toe-her entire body was covered with rope that there's not a single flesh to be seen. "R-Rima...we all think you should go look alone..." Amu said, starting to untie Yaya. She then sweatdropped. "U-untying Yaya may take a lot of work..." She muttered.
Even when her eyes were behind the rope, I could still tell that Yaya's eyes flashed at the thought of me being alone with Nagihiko. She probably though romance was coming up...
So she's probably trying to pair us up...
I left the hotel in a hurry. Nagihiko is a child now...He's sort of defenseless so what if something happened to him? What if he got kidnapped? At those very thoughts, I ran faster.
Once I was in the park's gates, I heard him scream and this made me run faster. "Nagihiko are you o..." I trailed of when I saw him being cuddled and all by little kids. He looked so pitiful. He was pale and his hair was messed up. His eyes were twitching from the pain of fangirls and I couldn't help but laugh.
I laughed out loud at the sight before me, pointing at him as I did.
"Rima nee-chan, what's so fu-" He suddenly stopped when an orange haired girl got him by the chin then forced him into a kiss. He was trying to pull away but her 'assistants' held him by the arms and legs making it almost impossible for him to move.
The sight of it made me abruptly stop laughing. He used all he could to pull away but all he could do from the struggling was move away for about a millisecond then the girl would grab his chin and kiss him again so he just gave up and closed his eyes, hoping for it to stop. I sank to my knees then once I recovered after a little while, stood up then pushed all the girls away, stopping the kiss.
"How dare you kiss him like that without my permission?!" I half screamed. Nagihiko and the girls looked at me in shock. "What are you? His girlfriend?!" Why are you the one saying all these stuff?!?!?!" My glance turned to Nagihiko and he was spitting in disgust. Who wouldn't? He was forced to make out in a small figure!
I felt my anger overflowing, my pulse beat faster and I grabbed Nagihiko by his wrist. "I don't have to explain myself to you!" I then stormed off the park, dragging a tired child behind me. When we were alone, he spoke.
"Rima-chan, why didn't you stop the kiss sooner...?" He asked. Oh God! What am I supposed to say?! I can't admit that I was incredibly jealous for a moment and was totally...Wait-what?! Was I jealous...?
"Rima-chan, you're blushing" He smirked. I abruptly trned away. "B-because...I wasn't sure what to do..." I admitted. "So you're jealous..." Nagihiko smirked.
Why does he have to read me so well?!
Wait! But isn't that the handsome side of him?!
Snap out of it, Rima! You're walking with a child!
Nagihiko as a child! He will sooner or later turn back into this cute teenager you love
I don't love him!
Yes you do!
No yo-
"Rima-chan, stop arguing with yourself, please..." Nagihiko sighed. What?! How can he tell?! I told you he is perfect and can read you so we- Oh just shut up, me!
"What made you think I was arguing with myself?" I said-flushing of course. He smirked.
"Rima-chan, you may be able to be a great actress-I mean, you can fake tears and pretend to hate comedy so much but you couldn't hide those from me..." He said. "Or should I say 'onee-chan'" He chuckled, making me blush harder.
He looked up at me then his voice and tone became happy and somehow...more childish. "You're a really cute girl! I'm sure any guy may be interested in you!" He giggled...making my head explode from the blush and for that reason, I lost my cool for a second since I ran to the hotel (like the way Amu ran away when she was being invited to join the guardians and she rejected! That was so funny)
And so, I left him alone...again... But this time, he got home. I couldn't help but stare at him during dinner time in the hotel...
Could it be that I really am in-love with Nagihiko Fujisaki...?
No you don't!
Oh stop it, me! You ruined the moment!
When I looked up, ready to stare at him again, he was looking at me already. I quickly looked away with a warm face but I could see from the corner of my eye that he continued to look at me with a soft smile :)
He makes me feel so happy :)
~~~~~~~~~Ki's POV~~~~~~~~
I chatted with my fellow Shugo charas but then they all somehow ended up in a huge fight about what should everyone wish for once they get the embryo.
Since everyone was in a smoky ball of fight, I took a look at Rima ad Nagihiko and saw the most amazing scene yet. Rima was looking away, blushing but her eyeballs were looking at the direction of Nagihiko who just looked at her with a small smile (she probably thinks that she's seeing him from the corner of her eye but honestly, her entire eyes are looking at him)
I couldn't miss the blush coming from both their faces.
Looks like 'meet' worked which means...I will do it again tonight.
"Ki-tan, what are you looking at?!" Pepe asked. I didn't notice the fight was over. I shrugged my shoulder. "Nothing" I smirked.
I guess that's all for chapter 14:) I hope It was good! R and R!!!
