Chapter 25
*Rima's POV*
This morning was more normal than yesterday. I woke up, got ready for the day, and went downstairs to get a poptart. Rei slept on the couch last night so she wouldn't get me sick. I told her I didn't care but she insisted.
"Rima, I'm not going to school today," Rei said.
"I assumed," I said grabbing my pop tart. I tore a piece off for Kusukusu. I noticed Rei had something in her hands. It was something blue. I then realized it was Angel's egg.
"I'm sorry Rei," I said as I sat next to her.
"It's not your fault Rima. I'll try my best to get her back after I feel better. I might even play some wii later," she said.
"Don't push yourself," I said.
"Don't worry, I won't. I'll be fine. After I slept all day yesterday and last night I feel so much better," she said.
"Alright but I'll text you in class if you get bored," I said. As if my phone heard me, it beeped. I grabbed it. It was a text from Nagi.
"Who's that?" Rei asked.
"Nagi," I said.
To Rima
Hey Rima. I assume Rei isn't coming to school. You need to wait for me outside your house today. I told my mom about us last night and she flipped out. She keeps asking me questions like 'When am I going to see my daughter-in-law again' or 'What are you going to name your children?' I had to sleep on the roof to get away from her. If you don't want her to ask weird questions then I hope you'll be outside in a few minutes.
From Nagi
I smiled at his text. His mom reminds me of Temari a little bit. She's graceful one moment and then the next she is completely different. I couldn't help but giggle a little bit.
"Someone's happy that Nagi texted her," Rei said.
"You don't know yet do you?" I said.
"Know what?" she asked curious.
"Nagi and I are dating now," I said.
"What!? Why didn't you tell me!" she said being childish. That wasn't like her.
"You weren't here and it happened Friday night," I said.
"No fair! I was the last to know," she said and pretended to pout. If I didn't know better then I would think Yaya rubbed off on her. How did she know she was the last one to know?
"I'm going on the porch to wait for him. He told his mom and she can act like a fangirl," I said.
"I missed so much. Mrs. Fujisaki looks so calm and graceful, the complete opposite of a fangirl," she said.
"She's got another side to her. Bye Rei. I'll see you when I get home," I said.
"Bye Rima," she said. I walked out and waited for Nagi. He wasn't here yet.
"Mother honestly, I am not planning on having children till I'm an adult," I heard Nagi say. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Rima, I'm so glad you're here. I have so many questions," his mom said when she noticed me.
"Mom, now is not the time. I'll have her call you later," Nagi said as he grabbed my hand and started to run but I slowed him down. She got a hold of me.
"Nagihiko, you will obey your mother," she scolded. My hand slipped out of his grasp so his mom now had me.
"Nagi, I'll never forget you," I said being overdramatic. He smiled and said," someone is brushing up on her acting skills."
"Tell me Rima. Is it true? Are you really a thing?" his mom asked.
"Yes, it was Friday night," I said.
"Aww, you'll have to come over after school so Baya and I can talk to you," she said. I guess I better get this over with just not today.
"I would like to come over any day but today. Rei is sick. She's feeling better but I still want to be home for her," I said.
"I understand," she said.
"Now if you don't mind, Nagi and I need to get to school," I said. I knew what she wanted to hear. A promise for us to have a girl talk was what she wanted and that is what she was going to get.
"Come on Nagi. I don't want to be late," I said as I grabbed his hand. Him and I walked to school. He kept staring at me.
"Why are you staring at me?" I asked.
"You controlled my mother like it was nothing," he said.
"I told her what she wanted to hear," I said.
"I think I love you," he teased.
"You better," I said hitting him playfully. We made it to school and continued to hold hands. We didn't care if our fans found out.
"Look it's Fujisaki-sama and Mashiro-sama."
"They're holding hands!"
"I heard they went to the spooky fair together!" I forgot all about that. I lied and said that him and I were on a date. That seemed so long ago. We were all in the royal garden Friday so we didn't see any students and they couldn't ask. A girl came up to us. She looked a bit timid.
"Excuse me, but are you two really dating?" she asked. Before I could answer, Nagi wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close to him.
"Yes we are. Not for very long but I can't stay away from her," he said. I swear I felt myself blush. The girl eep-ed and ran over to her friends and they joined her in a chorus of eep-ing. I looked at Nagi.
"I think we don't have to worry about fan-girls and fan-boys," he said and then kissed my cheek. A whole bunch of eep-s were heard. We walked into class and sat next to each other.
"You two are the newest gossip around school," Amu said.
"At least fan-girls aren't attacking me," I said.
"I wouldn't let them," Nagi said.
"You two are just too cute, Amu said.
"Now we need to get you and a certain cat boy together," I teased. Amu's face went normal to bright red in two seconds.
"Why didn't you tell me about your crush?" I asked.
"Why didn't you tell me about yours?" she defended.
"He confessed before I could tell you," I said. She was beat there.
"You did tell me that Ikuto told you he liked you," Nagi said.
"He always teases me," Amu said.
"Boys always tease the girl they like. Nagi always made fun of my height and look at us now," I said.
"I still tease her sometimes," he pointed out. Nikaidou walked in so we focused in class.
At lunch time Amu, Tadase, Nagi, and I went through Rei's desk to see if there was a clue in there. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary except a paper that looked different. The title on top of the paper was 'Imperfect is the New Perfect'. I quickly read it. These were lyrics to a song. Before I could tell the others Nikaidou came back in. We quickly put Rei's things back into her desk and ate our lunch. Then the intercom turned on.
"Hello students, this is your principal. I just want to tell everyone that this Friday is a Free Day. You still have to come to school but the teachers will be in my office talking about boring school things. Make sure to bring something to entertain yourself," Tsukasa said then the intercom was turned off.
"I've never heard of Free Day," Amu said.
"Who cares? No school for a day," I said.
"You still have to go to school," Tadase pointed out.
"So? No teachers and no homework. I say we have this every year," I said.
"You seem a little too excited," Nagi said.
"School is not fun unless you are with your friends," I said.
"I guess that's true," he said.
"You're a teacher's pet. How will you live without learning for a day," I teased.
"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure I'll live since you're here," he said then kissed my forehead.
"You two are adorable," Amu said.
"I guess we are. Everyone tells us that even before we were together," Nagi said. The bell rang meaning lunch was over. Everyone was coming back from lunch. Later, the bell rang for school to end. Nagi and I were passing notes in class which was very out of character for him. I texted Rei every once in awhile too. The whole school knew about us now. Nagi gave me a piggy back ride out of the classroom. The girls had hearts in their eyes and the boys were chanting 'Rimahiko'. Amu gave them our couple name.
"Fujisaki-san, could you please put Mashiro-san down until you're off school grounds," a strict teacher said.
"Sorry," Nagi said as he put me down. He waited for the teacher walk into her classroom and then wrapped his arm around my waist. I smiled at him.
"Nagi, am I going over to your house tomorrow?" I asked.
"Of course," he said then kissed my cheek. I heard a crowd of fangirl screams and I think one girl fainted. The second we got off the school grounds he gave me a piggy back ride again. Him and I couldn't help but laugh as he carried me home. Our charas were talking, laughing, and teasing their bearers. When we got to my house he pecked me and was going to walk home but I grabbed his hand. He looked at me confused. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. He didn't take long to wrap his arms around my waist and kiss back. I heard the door open.
"Naughty girl Rima," I heard Rei say. We broke the kiss, but we were still in each other's arms. We both looked at Rei. She looked a lot better.
"I see you aren't sick anymore," I said.
"I was watching TV when I heard my dear cousin sucking face with a purple haired boy I know. How could I not say something," she said.
"By staying on the couch and wait till I come in to tell you about it," I said.
"You're just lucky auntie and uncle aren't home," she said.
"They are at work I assumed," I said.
"Correct, now say good bye to your boyfriend and come inside and tell me everything," she said and closed the door.
"That was embarrassing," I said.
"I see what you mean when you said she acts more childish," he whispered.
"Goodbye Nagi," I said.
"Goodbye Rima," he said. I gave him a little kiss then went inside.
"So, how was it? Nagi's your first boyfriend so I want to know everything," Rei demanded the second I walked in. I told her everything about that night we got together ("Hahahaha Rhythm made Nagi a pervert."), the day at the park and everyone trying to set us up (I did not mention the pop stars since Angel went in her egg and it might upset her. Also I left out that we were suspecting her), when we told the gang, when we took care of her, and today at school. I didn't mention that we looked through her desk.
"You two may have only been dating for a little bit but you've already done so much," Rei said.
"I know but I have to break the news to mama and papa," I said.
"I think you should tell auntie first, then tell your dad. Offer to have him meet Nagi. Nagi is such a gentleman that he will make uncle like him," she said.
"Good idea," I said. I did all my homework and then Rei and I watched comedy shows till mama got home.
"Girls I'm home," she said carrying in a few grocery bags.
"Welcome home mama," I said.
"Hi auntie," Rei said.
"How was your day?" she asked as she set the bags on the counter.
"I actually have something to tell you," I said.
"What is it?" she asked giving me her full attention.
"Nagi and I are dating," I said.
"I wondered if you were going to tell me," she said.
"What?!" Rei and I yelled looking at her confused.
"I ran into Mrs. Fujisaki at store today. Her and I chatted and she asked if I knew about you two. I didn't and I wondered when you where going to tell me," she said.
"We've actually been dating since Friday night but so a lot stuff came up," I said.
"I'm not offended. Good luck telling your father though," she said. As if he knew mama was talking about him he walked in.
"I'm home," he said.
"Hey Uncle," Rei said.
"Hi daddy," I said. I walked up to him.
"What if I told you I am dating a boy?" I asked.
"I would say that I have to meet this boy before he gets anywhere near you," he said.
"You remember Nadeshiko-chan, right?" I asked.
"Yes, that girl that was here yesterday," he said.
"Well, I'm dating her twin brother," I said.
"I must meet this boy," he said.
"I've met him and he is a gentleman," mama said.
"This boy is coming over for dinner," he said.
"Tonight?" I asked.
"Is there a problem?" he asked.
"No, I'll call him," I said. I whipped out my phone and called him.
"Hello Rima," he answered.
"Hey Nagi, are you doing anything special for dinner? I asked.
"Not really, why?" he asked.
"I told my parents about us-"
"You're not dating till I approve!" dad interrupted.
"My dad wanted to meet you and invite you for dinner," I said.
"He seems overprotective," Nagi said.
"Very," I said.
"Hold on a moment while I ask my mother," he said. I waited for a minute then he came back.
"I can," he said.
"Alright," I said.
"I hope he likes me," he said.
"Just be yourself," I said.
"I will and I'll keep my hands off you. I still remember when I first met him," Nagi said. I couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll be there in about twenty minutes," he said.
"Alright, I'll see you then," I said.
"Bye."
"Bye." We then hung up.
"He can come," I said.
"I hope this boy is on his best behavior," dad said.
"Uncle, there is no need to worry. Nagi is a gentleman. He's the nicest boy I know and I know a lot of boys," Rei assured him. That sounded wrong.
"Rei, you will be upstairs since you're still sick," mama said.
"I am feeling so much better," Rei pointed out.
"Alright but one sneeze and you're upstairs," she said.
"Deal," Rei agreed. Rei and I went upstairs as we waited for Nagi. I changed out of my uniform into a cute sky blue blouse and some white shorts. I noticed a instrument case now in my room. Why didn't I notice that earlier?
"What did you bring?" I asked.
"It's my guitar silly," she answered.
"Why did you bring it?" I asked.
"I need my music," she said. Was that a hint that she was Do Re Mi? Probably not.
"You can bring that on Friday. We are having Free Day. We can do whatever we want as long as we go to school," I said.
"Awesome," she said.
"Rei, how was your weekend? I never got to ask," I said.
"It wasn't fun. I was sick most of the time. The bus ride home sucked since I almost barfed ten times," she said.
"That sounds like a drag," I said.
"It was," she said. Her and I continued to talk till we heard the doorbell. Her and I quickly ran downstairs.
"Hello, I assume you are our guest tonight," I heard dad say.
"Yes, I'm Nagihiko Fujisaki. It's nice too meet you sir," Nagi said. Dad shook his hand and the let him inside. Nagi took off his shoes to be polite.
"Hello Rima, Rei," Nagi said as he saw us.
"Hey," Rei said.
"Hi," I said. Most boys would be worried if they had to meet their girlfriend's father but he seemed calm. He hugged me and I hugged back. I wasn't going to kiss him in front of my dad.
"May I ask you a few questions," dad asked.
"Of course. I understand that you want to know more about me since Rima is your only daughter," he said. Rei went to go help mom cook dinner but then was shooed because 'she would infect the food' so she went upstairs. I sat next to Nagi on the couch and dad sat in a chair.
"How old are you?" he asked.
"I am the same age as Rima and I'm in the same grade," he answered.
"I see, do you live down the street?" he asked.
"Yes, I live in the traditional house a few houses away," he answered.
"How are your grades?" he asked.
"I have straight A's."
"Any sports or hobbies?"
"My family owns a dancing school so I dance but I also like to play basketball."
"Any past girlfriends?"
"Dad, your getting a bit too personal," I said.
"It's alright, Rima is my first girlfriend," Nagi answered.
"Have you two kissed?"
"Yes." I blushed at that answer.
"Do you drink or smoke?"
"No, I'm underage and I don't plan on smoking or drinking in the future."
"Are you planning sex with my daughter?"
"Dad!" I whined.
"Trust me sir, I'm not like that. I don't plan on that for many years in the future when I'm an adult," Nagi said. He was still perfectly calm.
"Dinner is ready," mom called. Thank you mom for the save but it was a question too late. We all gathered around the table. Rei joined us. Dinner was going good so far. Dad would ask a question everyone once in awhile.
"Are you in the guardians also?"
"Yes, I'm Jack's chair."
"Why is your hair so long?"
"I don't know. I just like it this way," he lied. He lied with a straight face. He had long hair because he had to be Nadeshiko.
"When is your birthday?"
"July 4th."
"What is your blood type?"
"AB."
"Where did you meet my daughter?"
"At school."
"Dad, I think you've already asked too much," I said trying to help poor Nagi out.
"Alright Nagihiko-san, I think you are a good boy to go out with my daughter," dad said.
"Thank you sir," Nagi said then gave him a smile.
"I can't wait to go to school tomorrow and see all the Rimahiko fans," Rei said. That was the first thing she said at dinner.
"Rimahiko fans?" mama asked.
"It's our couple name that our friends gave us," I explained.
"Why would you have fans?" she asked.
"They are girls that have no love life so they live through others and boys that are so pathetic that they won't ever get a girl. They kind of live through Nagi and Rima," Rei said. How did she know if she's been here all day? My mom smiled at us.
"I guess you two are the newest thing at school," she said.
"Yes, it''s honestly a bit weird having people staring at us waiting for us to do something but at least they aren't jealous and mad," I said.
"X characters!" the three charas yelled. Rei, Nagi, and I tried our best to pretend we didn't hear them. We still had to act.
"Auntie, can I take Rima upstairs real quick," Rei said.
"Why?" she asked. Rei went over and whispered something into her ear.
"Yes, thank you for helping," she said. Her and I went upstairs.
"What did you tell her?" I asked.
"I told that your shirt was falling and I wanted to tell you privately. Now we need to call Nagi," she said. I grabbed my phone and called him.
*Nagi's POV*
They went upstairs and I was alone with her parents. It's not that I was nervous but I didn't want to be rude. My phone then rang. I looked at the caller ID and it was Rima.
"Excuse me but my mother is calling," I lied.
"You are excused. Honey will you help me put the dishes in the dishwasher?" her mom said.
"Alright," he said. They both went in the kitchen. I quickly went upstairs.
"Thanks for helping me," I said.
"Nervous?" Rei asked.
"No, I just didn't want to seem rude," I said.
"Where are the X characters?" Rima asked the charas.
"Outside the window," Temari said. Rei drew back the curtain and there was Arihiko sitting on a tree outside my window. Both X characters (Jazlynn and Cass) around him. He didn't bother to hide.
"I see I'm found out," he said. I saw Rei hands turn into fists. Her knuckles going white. She opened to window to talk to him.
"What are you doing here?" she asked. I could tell she was angry. I would be too if this boy controlled me with a tuning fork was outside the window. The boy didn't seem to be bothered. He smirked, stood up, and came in.
"I think we all know what I came for."
