Nagihiko: She does not own anything
Chapter 21
Rima's eyes was tearing up, Nagihiko stood up and looked at the fragile looking girl, "Can you come with me, Rima?"
She nodded her head as he took her hand.
Nagihiko held her hand tightly as he lead her to the living room, they sat down at the red carpet, in front of a fire place. "Rima-chan, are you happy?" he asked her
Rima looked up at him, "Why are you asking Nagihiko?" She asked back
"Your not answering my question Rima-chan, it's a yes or no question, are you happy?" He asked her once again.
"Honestly Nagihiko" She said, as her eyes were glued to the fire place in front of her, "This is the best Christmas I ever had" She said in a whisper
Nagihiko continued to look at the girl next to her, wanting a explanation, Rima didn't bother to look at him, "For the past 3 years, my parents would always fight, argue, even start throwing things at each other, during special holidays, they would try to win me over, the other trying to give me the best present, every since that incident…"
Rima stood up, and walked towards the window, placing a hand at the glass, "Ever since I was kidnapped. Before that incident even happened, my parents never gave any attention to me, they were always busy with work & such, and every since that, they keep blaming each other, saying it was the other's fault and that's why…" Tears were forming in Rima's eyes now
She closed her eyes, letting the tears fall, "That's why I became who I am right now, a cold hearted girl, cold as the snow outside" She said
Nagihiko stood from where he was sitting and hugged the petite girl, Rima's cheeks turned a light color of pink, but she hugged him back, crying at his chest, "It's all my fault Nagi, why my family is falling apart! That's why they send me off to a boarding school…"
"That's not true Rima-chan" Nagihiko said, as he ran his hand at her long curly hair, "Don't ever say that Rima-chan, you did your best to make them happy, isn't that why Kusu-Kusu was born, right? You know it's not your fault Rima"
Nagihiko felt sad, knowing that Rima went through those things, but he just wanted to be there for her during those times, he wanted to stay at her side, Rima knew that what Nagihiko was saying was true, she never believed it before, but coming from Nagihiko, it seems that she can clearly understand it now.
Yet she continued to cry, Nagihiko never let her go, they sat down at the couch this time, in front of the fire place, "It's now or never" Nagihiko told himself.
"Rima-chan, can I give you something?" He asked her
Rima looked up, as she dried the tears at her eyes, "What is it this time Nagi?" She asked him, using her stubborn voice once again.
Nagihiko chuckled, "Can't a guy give a girl that he adores a gift?" He said, as he placed a silver bracelet at her right hand
Rima was taken by surprise and looked at the bracelet, it had two patterns, on the right was an Iris flower, covered with amethyst gems and the other one had a weird flower design covered with ruby gems. Rima looked at him, "Flowers?" She asked
Nagihiko chuckled, "Well, I got the idea from Denieru, he was planning on buying Namiko a necklace with their birthstones, and since I like flowers, I decided to get you something with a flower design, on the right, an iris flower, and the birth flower of February"
"You know my birthday?" Rima asked him
He chuckled and wink, " Of course I do, February 8, the month of Iris flowers & Amethyst"
"Stalker" She murmured while he just smiled, "What's with the other flower then?"
"Beside the Iris flower, is a Larkspur flower, in other words, almost like a sakura flower"
"A Larkspur & Iris? With Amethyst gems & Ruby gems, aren't you forgetting something?" She asked him
He smiled, and laugh nervously, "Well, the larkspur & ruby represents…."
"July, in other words, your birth month" Rima finished for him
"You knew?" He asked
She nodded her head, "You were born on the 14th of July, right?"
He nodded is head in response, "How do you know that? I never told you about my birthday"
"You might have forgotten" Rima said, and looked at him, "You have a twin sister who lives at the same dormitory as me"
He smiled, "I actually did"
She hugged him, "Thank you for the gift Nagihiko" She said, and looked up at him with her beautiful smile. "But I didn't get you anything" She said
Nagihiko just continued smiling, "But already gave your gift Rima-chan"
Rima gave him a questioning look, He just looked at her, "Your beautiful smile, you actually smiled a while ago, the real thing"
Rima blushed and turned away, "Why do you want to see my smile?" She asked him in a whisper
"Because Rima-chan" He said, "Your smile can get me through anything, your smile is what inspires me to do anything"
Her eyes widen in shock and look for any signs of Ai, maybe she had character change with Nagihiko, but then again, if Ai did do that, she would have heard the ping sound.
"Arigato Nagihiko" She said and kissed him in the cheek
This time it was Nagihiko's turn to blush, Rima just smiled and lay her head at Nagihiko's shoulder as she closed her eyes and drifted to dreamland.
Nagihiko finally snapped back to normal and looked at the sleeping Rima, he smiled at her, I'll tell you how I really feel next time, Rima-chan, I'll tell you soon, about how much I love you.
-At Nadeshiko's Room-
Nadeshiko was sitting at her bed, as she was brushing her long purple hair.
"Nadeshiko, why are you smiling so much?" Temari asked her bearer
Nadeshiko pointed towards a dozen of red roses which were placed at her desk. Temari became even more curious, and floated towards the flowers, she then read the letter attached to it.
"Nade-koi, I don't know if what happened earlier was a dream or not, I'm hoping its not, but I was really glad to see you :) we might not be spending Christmas together, but I swear, I will make it up too you the moment we see each other! I know this is a lousy gift, well this isn't my real gift, just a small one, I had to make some calls to deliver this flowers ASAP, luckily there was one nearby your family's resort, :) hope you like them.
Kukai
P.S You know I love you :D
P.S.S And I miss you so much
Another P.S, as long as those flowers live, that's how long I will love you"
Temari then looked at Nadeshiko, "Why are you so happy, the last line didn't seem that nice"
Nadeshiko just giggled, "If you haven't notice Temari" She said and held the flowers, "These are plastic"
Temari then smiled, "Oh" she said "There plastic, so that means they'll never die!"
Nadeshiko nodded and giggled, "That Kukai is so funny"
"If you ask me, it's a bit cheesy" Temari said
Nadeshiko then laughed, "Yah, well, since when was being cheesy, sweet?"
"Oh my" Temari said, "I think Nadeshiko is really in love, she would never say those kind of things"
-With Namiko!-
Namiko was now in her room, wearing her pink Pajamas, she was sitting at her bed, holding a neatly wrapped gift, "Why am I such a coward?" She asked her guardian characters
Mallow looked at Namiko with confuse eyes, "What do you mean Namiko?"
Lolli then floated in front of the two, "She wants to give Denieru her gift, but she's afraid he wouldn't like it" Lolli said and giggled.
"Well, sort of" Namiko said, "his birthday was a few weeks ago, December 10, I only got him a shirt"
She opened the small Christmas box, and held a bracelet, the bracelet had a tube, inside the tube was green oil, and a small rice grain floating inside of it, at the small rice grain, Denieru's name was written on it with black ink, and on the other side was Namiko's name. "This gift just seems so personal!" She said
"What makes you say that?" Lolli asked her
"Well, I mean, it's not like me and Denieru are together" Namiko started, "And this bracelet has both our names, shouldn't this be like, I don't know, from a girlfriend?!"
Lolli & Mallow covered their small ears, then floated towards Namiko, "But Nami-chan, you guys are kind of together"
"No, were not" Namiko said
"But Namiko, I'm the guardian character of charming love!" Namiko ignored her guardian character and covered her ear with her headset, listening to her iPod
Lolli sighed, and Mallow patted her sister, "Namiko is like that sometimes, stubborn headed, she believes in true love, and everyone else relationship, but she has doubt in herself."
"That's why I'm here!" Lolli said, "Sure, Ai is the guardian character of Love, but I am too! Ai could tell how a person really feels towards someone else, that's why she can tell if your lying or not, but I couldn't do that. Instead, I could be a match maker! I know who belongs with who!"
Mallow sweat dropped, and started laughing, "You know Lolli, you remind me about Candy! She and Namiko always argued back then too."
Lolli sighed once again, "Let's just get some sleep" Mallow nodded, the two guardian characters then floated towards their eggs.
-Outside Namiko's window-
"What are you?! A modern day Romeo?!" Kei shouted at his bearer, Denieru was at the tree, near Namiko's window.
Kazuhiko slapped his brother's head, "You will wake up the girls" He said
Kei glared at Kazuhiko, "Listen up buddy! What the heck do I care?! Denieru is being cheesy all of a sudden!"
"That's what he wants!" Kazuhiko argued back,
Ai then popped out of no where "And it is not cheesy! It's romantic!"
"What is she doing here?!" Kei asked, annoyed.
"You guys were so noisy! And I woke up, and I sensed a lovely moment is about to happen!" Ai answered back.
"Would you guys be quiet" Denieru said this time, "You guys just stay here"
With that said, Denieru knocked on the window, he waited until a girl with violet hair opened the window. "Eru-kun?! what are you doing at my window?" She asked the boy "You do know, your room is across mine right?"
He smirked, "That would be no fun if I went through there, now would it?" He asked "Beisdes, your step father & mother's room is at the hall way too right? I don't think your step father likes me"
Namiko sighed, "I don't care what that guy thinks, he isn't my father, my real father would get to know you before telling you to stay away from me, and his the reason my mama left me, remember?"
"Someone is really bitter" Denieru said, "Anyways, I just wanted to give you your Christmas gift" He handed her a silver wrapped box, with a red ribbon.
Namiko looked at the box, and had a small smile in her face, Denieru was about to leave, "Wait" Namiko said, "I have a gift for you too" She said, her cheeks turning red.
"Didn't you already give me a gift?" Denieru asked her
"That was your birthday gift" She said, she then gave him the box. "I hope you'll like it"
He smiled as he looked at the bracelet, he placed it at his right hand. "I do" he said, he then kissed Namiko at the cheek, "Arigato" He said and jumped of the window.
Namiko smiled, a huge smile, and started jumping up and down, HE LIKED IT! HE ACTUALLY DID! AND HE KISSED ME! She looked at the window, watching Denieru as he walked back to the house, "You are my prince" She giggled
She then looked at the box she was holding, she opened it slowly, only to reveal an amethyst heart pendant, with a turquoise stone in the middle, the turquoise stone was shaped like a music note, behind the necklace, engraved was the initial D.N. and a letter fell down
Namiko opened it
To my princess,
This simple necklace somehow represents my feelings towards you,
Your heart is my home,
And remember what I told you before?
You are like a song, that makes me happy
The song that can never leave my mind,
The song I love so much,
That would explain the music note in the middle
If you haven't guess it,
The pendant is our birthstone :)
I will always be at your side
And I know I don't really have to say it,
Because I hope you know it,
I love you Namiko Fujisaki,
I may not say it all the time, but I hope you can feel it
-Denieru
She then ran to her door, just in time Denieru was about to enter his room, Namiko tackled him with a hug, making the two fall at the ground.
"Ouch" Denieru muttered
"I love you too Denieru Ishida!" Namiko said
-NAOMI'S ROOM-
"My young ones are in love!" Naomi said in delight
She looked at the t.v at the right, watching Namiko & Denieru, at the left, was Nadeshiko and the flowers. She ordered Baaya to zoom in so she could read the letter, and at the center, was her favorite couple of all time.
Rima's head was laying at Nagihiko's shoulder, and Nagihiko's at Rima's head, they were sleeping peaceful, Rima was wearing Nagihiko's gift to her. They were still in the living room, in front of the fire place.
"Mistress, don't you think the kids would appreciate the privacy?" Baaya asked her mistress
Naomi nodded, "I guess you are right Baaya, we will let the kids rest"
"Baaya, you're my most faithful servant and you are my friend, correct?" Naomi asked the elder
"Of course Mistress"
Naomi smiled, " I want to tell you something, as a friend"
"What would that be Mistress?"
"I think Rima would be a great mistress someday, don't you think so?"
Baaya smiled, "I have taken care of Nagihiko since he was young, and I could honestly say, this is the first time I've seen him so happy"
"Me too" Naomi said
THE NEXT DAY
Nagihiko woke up, he could smell raspberries, he wondered where that sweet smell came from, he then look down, and saw the girl he adored still asleep. He smiled to himself, it would be nice to wake up to her sweet smell every morning.
"Nagi nii-san your awake already" Namiko said, holding a tray of biscuits and tea, "I brought you & Rima-chan breakfast"
"Arigato Namiko" Nagihiko said
Namiko just smiled, "Have you told her?" She asked
"Told her what?" Nagihiko asked
Namiko had a teasing smile in her face, "Denieru told me about your talk last night"
"You spend the night with Denieru?"
"Don't change the topic, he told me that you told him, that Rima is really special to you and that you might be…."
Denieru came in the room and covered Namiko's mouth, "Good morning my princess, my, my, let's not disturb your cousin & Rima, why not we go for a walk?" Denieru said
"I'll take your silence as a yes!" Denieru said and dragged Namiko with him.
"Those two are made for each other" A small petite voice said
Nagihiko nodded, then turn to see Rima awake. "Your already awake?! You were just sleeping a while ago"
"I woke up when I heard Denieru talking, what was going on?" Rima asked
"Nothing, the usual, Namiko saying we make a great couple and Denieru saying it was rude to disturb, and so on"
"Ow"
"Rima-chan, what if I told you that I love you, would you believe me?" Nagihiko asked
Rima's eyes widen and looked at the purple haired boy.
