Hope you guys enjoyed my sister's chapter =D.

Let's continue with the story. We're gonna start that same morning. 'Kay?

I do not own Shugo Chara.

Rima's POV

My cell phone went off with the alarm I set last night so that I could wake up. I turned the alarm off and just lied there in the bed that's not mine. The room was very simple. Your traditional japanese room with sliding doors and a futon and what not. A guest room here in Nagihiko's house. My mother was still sleeping in the futon next to me. She looked so tired, even if she was sleeping. Last night played in head again. My father seeing Nagi and getting angry. How he grabbed my wrists and left a burise and then Nagi tried to save me and had a vase thrown at him. I can't believe it actually happened. Like, I can understand if my dad got angry about me dating. Okay. Most dads get angry but they don't go off and throw a vase at the guy.

After the concert, Ikuto dropped Nagi and I here. The other were wondering why I was staying here but Nagi told them, "We'll explain when everything's settled down."

When we went inside, we found our mother's getting along just fine. They were talking and laughing. It's been awhile since I've seen my mother laugh with a friend.

Flashback

"Come on. Let's get you settled for the night," Nagi smiled at me and let me inside.

It wasn't the first time I've been to his house. I've been here before during middle school and stuff but I've never stayed over or anything.

We took off our shoes and walked through the house and then heard laughing coming from the kitchen. Sitting at the island of the kitchen with two wine glasses out was Fujisaki-san and my mother. Fujisaki-san was laughing behind her kimono sleeve like I've seen Temari do. She looked beautiful as ever in her kimono and her soft purple hair tied up in the usual bun she wears. My mother was laughing in her hand, her cheeks pink from drinking but she looked happy.

"We're back," Nagihiko announced.

"Ah, Rima, you're back. Did you have fun at the concert with Nagihiko?" my mother smiled at me.

I couldn't help but smile back, "Yes. Utau's new songs were amazing."

"That's good. Thank you for taking care of her, Nagihiko."

"My pleasure, " he bowed his head.

"Well, now that Rima-chan is here, we should talk about the matter at hand," Fujisaki-san cleared her throat and motioned for me and Nagi to sit. We sat across from them on the stools. I watched as my mom spin the few drops of wine in the glass, her smile gone. "Rima, you and your mother can stay here as long as you want. I'm alright with that. As for your father, I know that he will come looking for the both of you so I want you both to be careful."

"But my father won't hurt us. He was just upset about me dating Nagihiko."

She nodded her head in understanding and placed a hand on my mother's hand, "Your mother told me about the kidnapping and I believe that your father is afraid that a boy will try something on you."

"But I tried to explain that Nagihiko's not that kind of person."

"I know, dear. But your father does have a problem. Your mother has also told me how when they argue he'll try to hit her."

"What? Mom, is this true?"

"I'm afraid so, Rima. Lately, your father has gotten so much more angrer when ever we fight. I'd calm and try to settle things with him but he'll keep screaming. He's tried to hit me but he's always turned to hit something else."

I stared shocked at my mother. How could I have missed that?

"The fact that your father was able to turn away means that he can be helped. All it takes is to talk to him about it."

"O-Okay."

"So, while you two are in school tomorrow, your mother and I will go speak with Mashiro-san."

"Alright."

"Good. Now, it's getting late. Nagihiko, give Rima some of Nadeshiko's old clothes and show her to the guest room. And let her borrow Nadeshiko's old uniform for tomorrow."

"But the uniform color isn't for the high schoolers," he said.

"I know but it'll have to do for now. Until we can get some of her things from her house tomorrow."

"Alright. Good night, mother. Mashiro-san," he bowed.

"Oh, uh, good night, Nagihiko," my mother shyly bowed her head.

I kissed her on the cheek good night and bowed to Fujisaki-san then followed Nagihiko. He lead me to his room first to give me 'Nadeshiko's' old pajamas and her old school uniform. "Here, you can change in my bathroom." He handed me the pajamas and then went into the bathroom to change. I walked out in a purple night gown with flower petals falling. It was cute. Nagihiko was just pushing his head out of the whole of the white t-shirt. He smiled at me and I blushed as he walked in front of me. He cupped my cheek and kissed me gently, "Don't worry, everything will be okay."

"I'm holding you to your word," I pouted and he laughed.

"You'll share a room with your mom. I'll help you set out the futon."

"Okay."

End of Flashback

"I'm going to be late if I continue to lay here," I said to myself.

I sat up and went to get ready.

~After getting dressed and breakfast~

I felt a little awkward wearing the old elemantry school uniform. I felt even more awkward about the fact that Nagihiko use to wear this outfit.

We were walking hand-in-hand as he talked to me about anything to distract me from thinking about my dad and that my mom and his mom were going to talk to him. Then I heard a familiar scream.

"EH! Rima-tan's wearing the elemantry uniform!"

We turned around to see the others but I saw Yaya first because she ran up to me.

"Why are you wearing that old thing?" Ikuto asked.

"She left her uniform at her house so she had to use Nadeshiko's old one."

"Ah."

"It's sad to say that Rima is that small to fit in such an old uniform," Utau circled me.

I blushed in embarrassment, "Shut up! Nadeshiko was tall and flat! Not my fault I inherited my grandmother's shortness."

They laughed but Nagihiko pet my head and said, "Don't worry, Rima, you're fine the way you are."

"He says that but he probably wishes she was little bigger," I heard Ikuto whisper into Haru's ear and he tried not to laugh.

"I heard that you asshole! Amu, kill your boyfriend!"

After that little incedient, we continued on our way to the school and Yaya was currently bothering her boyfriend for candy.

"Come on Kairi! I know you have candy for me!"

"Yaya, too much candy for you is bad."

"Amu-chi tell Kairi to give it!"

We laughed at Yaya's childness when Kukai grinned, "Hey! Little Hanaki! Over here."

Standing on the other side of the street was Aoi. She was just...standing there like she was in shock but then she crossed the street and walked right up to Haru. Whoa. Haru looked scared?

"Aoi-chan..."

"Hi...Haru," she hissed. O.o I can now see the resemblence between her and AKane now.

"Aoi-chan, please don't."

"Please don't? Really? How many times did we tell that to you! You have a lot of guts to come here and show your face. Dude, you broke my sister's heart and mine! You were like a big brother to me! Nice example."

This was a new side of Aoi were seeing. Although we barely talk to her, Aoi was always so calm and nice. Well, except that day when she didn't want Akane to go to work. But this...this is major anger.

"Aoi." Akane was standing behind her with Daigo next her, hiding behind her leg. He could obviously feel the tension between Haru, Aoi, and Akane. Akane looked shocked and you could see how Aoi's anger turned towards Akane.

"Why didn't you tell me? When did he get here, Akane!"

I saw how Akane looked at Haru with like fear in her eyes but she looked away from him and towards us, "I'll see you guys at school. I need to talk to Aoi. Kukai, can you take Daigo to the elemantry for me?"

"Uh...Sure."

"Go with Kukai, Daigo."

Daigo ran from behind Akane's leg and grabbed Kukai's hand then we all made our way towards the school. When we were far away from the sisters, we started talking again.

"Haru, you really screw yourself over. Just putting that out there."

"Believe me, I know. I just didn't think I would see Aoi-chan."

"Don't worry, Haru. She's like what? Thirteen, she can't hold that much of a grudge," Ikuto patted his shoulder.

"You don't get it. Aoi-chan isn't your typical pre-teen. She's very headstrong and she's very big on promises."

"Then have fun with that."

~Lunch~ Kukai's POV

Utau, Fujisaki, Tadase, and I were on line getting lunch. After getting our lunch, we walked outside to the table where everyone else was eating their brought lunch or lunch they bought before we got there. Hinamori, Sanjou, and Yaya brought their lunchs in bentos. Tsukiyomi had a brown bag with him where he pulled out a fish shaped tayaki. Mashiro and Haru were eating bought lunch. So where's-

"Hey, guys, where's Clover?"

"Who?"

"He means Akane," Utau shook her head.

"Oh. She couldn't make it to lunch. She needs to go to her classes to make up stuff and get the work she missed," Mashiro said, with her mouth slightly full.

"I still don't understand why you're wearing that old thing."

"Utau! Drop it!"

It's so funny when Mashiro gets mad like that XD.

~After school~ Akane's POV

If y and x are direct, x=5 and y=10 find k?

...

The fuck is this! (Algebra 2 stuff I learned in class. It's really easy actaully) I stared at the test in front of me and felt my brain just melt. This was my fifth test TODAY. I went to all my classes to make up and learn what I missed, and I understood it all. But I guess with all the tests, everything just got all jumbled up together and I can't think. I manged to get most the test done but now...I can't finish it. When the hell does k come into this godamn equation? And the hell does direct mean T^T?

"Times up."

"Ugh!" I sank in my seat and covered my face as Sensei took my test.

"It's alright, Hanaki-chan. You have a good math grade so far. Even with the days you've missed. This test won't make much of a difference."

"Thanks, Sensei."

I picked up my heavy bag that had all the make up work I had to do and walked out the door but was surprised by who was waiting for me outside.

"What are you still doing here?"

Haru pushed himself off the wall he was leaning against and smiled at me, "I thought we could go to work together." I quirked an eyebrow at him because I knew there was more to why he was still here. And he understood my gesture because he laughed nervously, "I'm trying to gain your trust again. Remember?"

I felt my face turn red so I looked at the wall next to me, "Uh...R-right."

"Come on," he gently took my hand in his and smiled down at me, "We'll be late for work, and I don't want you to get introuble with Kurosawa-san."

"S-sure."

~Fujisaki Mansion~ Nagihiko's POV

"Everyone-and I mean everyone-kept asking me about the uniform!" I laughed at Rima's annoyance which just made it worse. "It's not funny!"

"Alright, alright, don't worry. Mother and Mashiro-san must of already gone to your house to speak to your father. Your mother must have packed you your uniform while she was there."

"Hopefully." We made it to my house and we saw an extra car in the drive way but it wasn't from my family. "That's Papa's car."

"So he's here? O.o"

Rima didn't wait, she ran inside the house, quickly dropping her bag and taking of her shoes, and running down the hall. I followed her into the living room where my mother was sitting across from Rima's mother and father with tea served on the coffee table.

"Papa!"

"Rima."

She went around the couch and then dived into his arms. Her father kissed the top of her head and started rocking her. It was sweet. Completely different from rage-crazy man from yesterday and the arguing man I've heard scream at his wife.

While they had their moment, I took my seat next to Mother and served to extra cups of tea. While I was serving, I could feel Rima's father's eyes on me but it wasn't a glare (I know how those feel from experiance) but more like he was observing me.

"Well, now that my son and Rima-chan is here. We can run the idea pass them. After all, this is for your daughter's sake, Mashiro-san."

Rima's father gently placed her in-between him and his wife and then put on like a business face, "You're right. Rima," he turned his body to look at her as her mother started to run her hair down Rima's golden locks, "Papa needs help and I'm sure Fujisaki-san has already explained that to you. I'm sorry your mother and I have been fighting so much. It's my fault. I can't control my anger anymore. That's why we've been fighting so much. I'm sorry. So, while you were at school your mother and I went to get me help. I will be taking anger managment classes for some time until I'm better."

"T-that's good. That means you'll get better," Rima smiled shyly at him.

"Yes, I will. But while I'm taking the sessions, you and your mother will be staying with the Fujisakis."

I looked at Mother as if to say Is this true? and she nodded.

"You'll be able to visit Papa whenever you want but just to be safe, incase he suddenly snaps, we want to make sure you're safe. I'll visit him everyday to make sure he's okay. Does that sound good, Rima?"

"Yes."

"And you." Mashiro-san turned his gaze from Rima to me. I felt myself shrinking under his gaze. Hey, any boyfriend would be afraid of his girlfriends father. "I want to apologize for yesterday." Eh? "Rima was trying to explain that you weren't like other boys but I wasn't listening. It's just, after the kidnapping, I'm afraid for my daughter. I don't want some boy to hurt her. I know how they are now-a-days. I'm sorry I attacked you."

"I should apologize. I hurt you and knocked you out. That's not the impression I wanted to leave when meeting you," I laughed nervously.

"It's alright. It was actaully a good impression you left."

"Huh?"

"That fact you defied me to protect Rima from my temper. Not only that, you protect both her and my wife by taking them here. You really aren't like most boys."

"Tell me about it," I hear Rima mumble to herself.

"I give you my blessing to date my daughter."

"Arigatou, Mashiro-san," I bowed my head.

"Now, I suggest that you both head upstairs to change out of your uniforms. Rima-chan, your mother packed your things. They're upstairs. Oh, and now that you'll be staying here longer, Nagihiko, show her to her room."

"Yes, Mother." I got up and waited for Rima. She kissed her dad on the cheek and hugged her mom before getting up and taking me hand.

As we walked up the stairs, I could hear our parents talking downstairs (thanks to my stage hearing).

"You have a fine son, Fujisaki-san."

"Thank you, your daughter as well. First time Rima-chan came here I knew there was something between those too," I heard my Mother giggle.

"By the way, you mentioned the name 'Nadeshiko' yesterday. Who is she?"

"Nagihiko's twin sister. But she's not in Japan, she's in Europe studying dance."

"You must be very proud of her."

"Yes. Yes, I am."

I felt myself smile because I knew that my mom wasn't really talking about Nadeshiko. But me.

So my first exam is in ten minutes. I have English. I managed to finish this chapter before homeroom ended (Thank god I have a computer class for homeroom X3)

Hope you enjoyed it =D
