Finals, Finals, Finals, and FINALS! In case you haven't noticed, I have finals. And that means my parents are making me study like crazy…. Joy. So, sorry if it takes a bit to update this.

"You will be my servant." Cho-ko said in a commanding voice. Loki bent down and nodded. For her, he would do anything. That was probably why she had chosen him to help her. Everyone knew she was insane, be he couldn't chose his master more then a dog could chose his.
"Yes, my lady." Loki bowed.

Rima's POV

Ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time? Yeah, well, I just happened to get in control of my body the same time Loki started drinking Nagihiko's blood. And, let me tell you, that is not a pretty sight. So I attacked Loki. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but as soon as I realized what was happening, I jumped on him and screamed "NO!"

Loki snarled at me. He wasn't thinking straight, I guess. Probably the blood. "He isssss mineee," Would be a good translation of what he said. His fangs were kind of getting in the way, among other things.

"No. He's mine." I replied before I could stop myself. "I know you're a vampire, but that doesn't mean you have to eat my boyfriend."

Loki stared at me with a confused expression on his face. Or, almost one. Then he grinned. You know the kind that normally makes you want to back away slowly? Yeah. That one. I was surprised when I didn't, that I just swung around and banged him with the weird rope-things that I had on me. Wait, when did I get those on? Anyways, vampires must have strong heads because it broke.

"Rima! Charanari with me!" Romance called. I nodded.

"My own heart… unlock." I said. "Charanari: Romance Drop!" Loki screamed and tried to cover his eyes like they were burning.

"Love-Love fan!" I shouted, making two sparkling fans appear. Loki made another scream in pain.

"He must not be able stand any form of light!" Kusukusu said excitedly.

"In that case, we better use a sparkly attack." I mused. "Romance, I know you must have at least one."

"Um… I forget." The voice of Romance said hesitantly. "It's been a long time since I was in this, you know."

"You mean last week?" I muttered.

"What? Oh, no. Before that." Romance replied. "Um… Oh! I got it!"

"What is-." I got cut off because a sparkling staff appeared in my hand. It had a white heart on the top that sparkled. "Wow. And this does what?"

"No idea." Romance admitted. "But it must do something."

"I guess…." I didn't have much faith in Romance at the moment. "Um…. Sparkle-Sparkle Heart wand!" I smashed the staff on Loki's head and bright sparkles fell everywhere. Loki screamed in pain and shock.

"What the hell are you waiting for!" Cho-ko screamed angrily. "Kill them already!"

Loki growled and tried to attack me. I swiped my staff at him again. He hissed at me and tried to slice me with his nails. It surprised me so much I got out of my charanari.

"Man!" I swore. Quickly, I regained my focus. Loki would have killed me if I didn't. "Oh, great. Now what am I supposed to do?"

"Um, this may be a little late, but…" Nagihiko looked at Rikka and Hikaru. "They're haven't moved a bit." It was true. Both of them had a blank expression on their faces and were just staring ahead. If it was just Hikaru, it might be a little more believable. But Rikka quiet? I'd be more likely to believe that the sky was purple. Loki cocked his head to the side and seemed to think of something. Then Rikka ran forward and tried to attack me. Sadly, I'm not the best athlete so I got punched.

"Ow!" I complained. "I don't care if there's over a ninety percent possibility she's being mind-controlled, that hurt!"

"Time… for food…." Loki managed to get out through his giant fangs. I was really getting annoyed.

"Okay, you gotta eat, but why am I your lunch?" I muttered.

"HUNGRY!" Loki screamed.

"I don't care!" I yelled back. All I wanted to do was live a normal life. I didn't ask to have a vampire and his mistress after me. Why couldn't someone else do this? Why do I have to defeat them?

Believe it or not, this was your choice. I heard the voice of Ryme telling me.

Oh, so I asked to have an ancient evil after me?

No, not directly. But once you fell in love with Nagihiko, it was bond to happen, Ryme replied. But that doesn't mean you have to die.

Really? I dodged another blow from Rikka. Well, actually I kind of fell and Rikka had good accuracy so it missed me.

I'll give you a hint. It has to do with the necklace you have on. Ryme said.

If I wasn't so busy trying not to die, I'd be fingering the flower-shaped necklace I was wearing. But how could a simple necklace have to do with me wining? I mean, it was just a piece of jewelry… that Ryme had gotten from Nagisho.

Now that I think about it, it should be impossible for me to have it. But I had somehow gotten it. Now that I think about it, all of my other selves had one. I had seen one on Rebi and Rita too.

Could it be really that important?

I remembered that it had a key hole in it, but I don't know if that meant much. I did know that we all had gotten the necklace a little before or after we fell in love with whoever Nagihiko was in that life.

I think I could remember it, the feeling all of us had when we had found the necklace.

I think…..

"Rima-chan! You're necklace is glowing!" Nagihiko yelled to me. It was. The rose was lighting up and turning a light red making it look like it was blooming.

"KusuKusu! I'll need your help!" I called.

"Alright!" KusuKusu went into her egg. But this time it was different. It wasn't our normal charanari.

"Ancient Charanari: Story Telling Drop!"

It was Ryme's.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! That took a while for me to update this… I finished writing at school and it's really hard to access my school documents at home…. And the only good thing about finals is that we get to watch movies! And we have a Spanish party tomorrow… We get Ice cream…

Anways, review n' stuff!
