Rima's doubt

Thank you for the amazing reviews!

Nagihiko: and please continue to do so

Yes, wow unlike Ikuto you actually help when talking to the readers. YAY! Nagihiko is amazing, sorry though cause I'm going to torture you again… (Sweat drop)

Nagihiko: Don't worry I was prepared for it, I hope you enjoy *Bows*

Rima didn't like Nadeshiko in the least. She had been hanging out with her and Amu for five days already, it was now a Friday, and since then Ikuto hadn't even turned up to torment any of them. And although Nadeshiko did help Rima keep the guys away by either threatening them with words or a spear: that Rima just had to question where she kept it.

She just couldn't trust her there was something off about her. Amu was talking to her already as though they had known each other their whole lives; Rima didn't like it one bit.

Rima more often than not dragged Amu away or clung to her to "protect" her from the purple haired girl. Nadeshiko was calm about it though and brushed it off every time; would go and get Amu back for herself.

What really annoyed Rima though, was the purple haired girl could tell if she was acting, so if she was using fake tears to get Amu to agree to something, she'd tell Amu that Rima was faking. It was totally unfair!

Rima, Amu and Nadeshiko walked along the corridor to get outside it was the end of the day after all. Since it was the three of them they were getting more onlookers than necessary, though one thing Nadeshiko was good for was scaring the same amount of people away.

"Still don't like you…" Rima muttered.

The purple haired girl smiled. "I can tell."

Rima looked away obviously annoyed with her way of speaking to her.

"Guys you want to go to the café after school?" Amu questioned ignoring Rima's hatred for Nadeshiko. Hoping Rima would get over it soon.

"I'm sorry Amu-chan, I have dance practise in half an hour," Nadeshiko apologised.

Rima's face lit up. "I can go!" She smiled then added quietly. "Let me tell my parents first…" Rima went on the phone and started talking to her parents.

A few years ago someone kidnapped Rima, shaking up her and her whole family. Because, of this she didn't make many friends, there was Amu and Yaya, the only people she actually talked to without hatred.

Well… At least she was talking to Nadeshiko… And she did say a few words to Utau when she came to speak to Amu. (Oh by the way Utau and Amu both don't know that each of them know Ikuto… Yet…)

"I can go!" She cheered as she hung up the phone.

"Well, I'll be off Amu-chan. Rima-chan." Nadeshiko waved as she ran off.

"Don't call me Rima-chan!" The blonde yelled as the purple haired girl walked in the opposite direction they were going in.

Amu and Rima walked off towards the café their friend's, Yaya, family owned. Yaya was very babyish and would cling to Amu when they entered, but it was better than no place to hang out.

"I don't like her…" Rima muttered to Amu.

"Nadeshiko? But, she seems nice enough." Amu tried to reason.

"Well enough isn't good enough! She should be nicer and not so… Cocky…" Rima muttered.

"It's ok, don't worry…" Amu's sentence was cut off short as Rima was dragged into a nearby alleyway. Damn, alleyways there always had to be so many of them; they always had be disgustingly dirty and vile!

"Rima!" Amu yelled, chasing after her friend.

"Don't come a step closer!" The robber yelled, placing a knife to the small girl's neck. "You do the girl gets it."

"Alright I won't take another step…" Amu muttered to Ran.

"Hop… Step… JUMP!" She cheered, wings taking place on Amu's ankles and wrists; she jumped forward.

"I'll jump instead!" Amu yelled pulling Rima out of the persons grasp. The guy's eyes turned icy and glared at the girl nearer to him: our beloved pink haired hero.

He pulled her hair. "How dare you ruin my kidnapping!" The robber howled, throwing her towards a wall, which Amu bounced off of and landed harshly to the floor.

Rima stood there looking at her friend who was in pain. The robber was getting close to the tiny blonde again. Amu pulled on the kidnapper's leg halting his approach. Amu smiled encouragingly over at Rima. "Run!"

Rima did just that. She ran back to the school, it was the closest place to her that she knew, tears streaming down her face looking for someone who could help her out… Anyone!

She ran away the place looked deserted. Tears were starting to blur her vision. She fell to the floor panting; she was never good at sports. She sat on the ground crying her eyes out. Why was Amu getting hurt for her?

"Um… Why's the annoying blonde crying?" She looked up to see a blue haired teen… Tsukiyomi.

Rima bit her lip; cried out after a seconds thought. "Even you're good in a situation like this! Help!" To say Ikuto looked surprised was an understatement. He had every right to ignore the crying girl who wouldn't let him play with his strawberry (Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?), but Ikuto wasn't heartless.

He jumped off the tree, Yoru following behind him. He knelt to the ground where Rima was. "What's the matter?" He questioned.

"Amu!" She cried out. "Help her!"

Ah, did anyone see this one coming? Rima actually asking Ikuto for help. Hehe.

Nagihiko: I'm guessing this will make Rima trust Ikuto more?

Trust him? Probably not, but who knows we'll have to wait and see. Sorry for leaving it on such a cliff hanger, but I had to! Well read and review please (Smiles) and after we save Amu and let Ikuto tease her a bit, we'll get Utau and Yaya in the story Hehe!

Nagihiko: And she also wants to say sorry if the fight scene seems slightly rushed, because she had her mother and brother complaining for he to get off.

Yes, yes I did they gave up after I finished typing the little kidnapping/ fighting scene though, pathetic eh? Anyway hope you enjoyed ^^ Oh and in two days time I won't be able to update at all that day, because I have to go to college for my tester day, so I'll try and update the next chapter before then. Finally I've stopped talking ok, bye for now ^^
