Rima Mashiro's Diary: Why the hell do bowling pins remind people of me?

"Rima! You look so adorable!" A voiced chimed cheerfully. I smiled.
My parents had arranged a marriage with this man. I never met him before but based on my mother's descriptions, he was tall, rich, and incredibly handsome.

I was dressed in an expensive wedding dress that my husband-to-be had sent me. I was also surprised that he had a very good taste in feminine clothing as well as the accessories that accompany the dress. The dress was sparkling white with lots and lots of ruffles on the bottom and over-sized sleeves with cut-down shoulders.

Kusu Kusu was dressed in a strapless orange dress that stopped at the knees. Her long hair was straightened and instead of her clown hat, she wore a big orange bow. She handed me a bouquet of beautiful orange and pink flowers and gave me a hug. Because she was taller than me, I had to reach up to my tippy-toes to return the hug. (Wait, Kusu Kusu's human?!) I was then, lead by my happy-drunk father to the front of the chapel where my husband-to-be was waiting. The heavy light (Where did that come from?) had blinded my eyes so I couldn't see his face.
The scene fast-forward itself to the part when my husband (still can't see his face) was slipping a single diamond ring on my fingers and bent down to kiss me. That's when I heard….

"Yo! Congratulations!"
I turned around to see Rhythm grinning and Temari giggling then I turned back around to see Nagihiko with his arms wrapped around me.
"What are you doing?" I retorted. "Where's my husband?"
"You're looking at him." Rhythm laughed.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that we are going to be your brother and sister-in-laws, Rima Chaan." Temari answered, still giggling.
WHAT?! I looked up at Nagihiko.
"I hate you." I muttered darkly.
"Oh? I guess you'll have to get used to the fact that we will be living together until we die at an OLLLDDD age, Mrs. Fujisaki…" He smirked, tightly pulling me close.

That's when I woke up, screaming for five entire seconds before blinking to find the diamond ring on my finger then reaching for my cell phone and dialing a number. I didn't care if he was sleeping.

10 seconds later:

"Moshi Moshi?"
"YOU BAKA!" I screamed.
"What happened?" I could hear him yawning.
You…Insolent….The ring and all that kissing… I can't believe…
"YOU STUPID PURPLEHEAD!"
"Did you get raped or something?" I felt myself blush furiously.
"N-NO… YOU KNOW CLEARLY WELL OF WHAT YOU DID!"
"Oh? What is it, then?" I could practically see him start smirking over the line again.
"WE GOT MARRIED!"
There was Silence… then…
"AHAHAHAHA!! SO IT WORKED!" He laughed.
"I. Will. Freaking. Kill. You. If. You. Show. Up. To. School. Today." I muttered darkly.
"What happens if I don't show up?" There was a small hint of curiosity in his voice.
"I will storm into your bigass mansion and start slicing your hair with your naginata." I threatened.
"Don't worry little blond yoda. I will be coming to school so you don't have to start the hair wars."

"WHAAAAAA?! I am not-"He started to laugh at the other end of the line.

"Rima! I heard you screaming! I'm coming up!" I heard my mom shout. If she figured that I have been talking to a boy, she would spread this all over her Japanese blog page for housewives WHICH I thought was stupid because what mother would write about her daughter's personal status?

"Listen. I. Have. To. Go. If. You. Don't. Show. Up. You. Are. Officially. Dead." I hung up after that.

My mother bursts open the door with a box of god-knows-what-it-was.
"Rima! What happened?!"She literally hopped on the side of my bed, shoving the box at my hands.
"Nightmare." I examined the box. "What is this?" The box had a string of pearls wrapping around this thin roll of what appeared to be tissue.
"Uhhm… never mind!" She swiped the box from my fingertips before I could read the label and ran out of my room. Typical mothers.

"Rimmaa, is everything okay?" Kusu Kusu sat on my shoulder, rubbing her eyes.
I stared at her. She looked at me with a confused expression.
"….Yea." I said blankly, seconds later.
GRRR. STUPID FLASHBACK.

ROYAL GARDEN: The only glass dome of flowers and butterflies which is located near our old school. JOY.

Once I entered the dome of kira-kira sparkle, I find myself surrounded by guys.

"Here comes little blond Yoda waiting to start the hair wars." Nagihiko snorted as he sipped tea silently.

I shot a glare and stared at the guys sitting on the staircase. Ikuto, Kuukai, and Kairi are here but Tadase was nowhere to be seen.

"Since when did this place become a prostitute garden?" There was an awkward silence. Kairi blushed and pushed up his glasses. Nagihiko almost choked on his tea and Ikuto's relaxed face turns into a smirk.

"Since Pedophilic Tsukasa built this girly dome." Ikuto answered as a butterfly flew past him and he sprang cat ears and a tail again. The only noise that was heard were the sounds of Ikuto's meowing (A/N: WTF?!) and Kuukai's laughing.

"WHAT IS THE REAL REASON OF ME COMING HERE?" I shouted angrily.

"The real reason is that we need your help." Nagihiko replied.

"Retard," I growled. "Stop with the random Dora quotes, this isn't first grade. I'm sure with you being the smart ass in this group besides Kairi, you can handle this yourself."

"But Rimaa Chaaan.. I'm begging you." He gave me the please-do-it-for-me-kira-kira-pleading puppy dog face. (Since when can he make these faces?)

"What is it?" I groaned.

"Ikuto here wants to win Amu Chan over."

"I'm listening."

"So I was thinking of devising a scheme."

"What is it?" I glanced over at Ikuto who had coughed up a butterfly and was now back on the staircase, counting nine bags of what appeared to be catnip.

ONE SCHEME EXPLANATION LATER:

"Sounds stupid." I retorted.

"It sounds pretty good to me," Kuukai said easily.

"We should be able to evaluate the process in which we can go through in order to make this plan a success within two weeks and four days timed." Kairi said.

"Ikuto, are you okay with this?" The mastermind asked.

"Anything for my Amu-koi," he smirked as he ripped open a bag and chewed on some cat-nip.

"I still don't feel safe." I replied. "It sounds too weird."

"Do we have to do this, though?" Kuukai asked.

"I already spoke to Durama-sensei about it and she agreed." He replied. "Just follow the plan and we'll meet up later on. Dismissed."

Everyone left after that, except Ikuto, of course. He already finished his first bag and immediately began to ravage into the second bag. Just as I left, I took a different route to school when I realized Amu's voice heading toward the royal garden.

"Ikuto? What are you doing here? OH MY GOD! IS THAT MARIJUANA?!" Amu screeched.

I nearly died of laughter that day.

COUNTDOWN: 18 days- Saturday

I spent the entire day at Fujisaki's mansion, going through the plan for at least a million times now.

"Rima Chan. Are you sure you can do this?"

"Duh, I can. Why else can I fake cry and get away with it?"

"But I can see through it." He grinned.

"ONLY YOU AND NO ONE ELSE CAN!" I shrieked. "Anyway, so I have to be involved in it. Why me?"

"Oh, quit your complaining. I'm adding in Utau-Chan also."

"So you're going to add in everyone?"

"I guess.. Not so quite sure."

"Just one question…"

"Mhmm?"

"If we are this… then how is Amu…?"

"Use your imagination Rima Chan. Don't think so much on scientific terms."

"Still…" He started to chuckle.

"What's so funny?" I glared.

"The only time when you think smartly is outside of school, I wonder how you even make it this far." He laughed.

"I-IS THAT AN INSULT?!" the chibi-fire crackled over my body again.

"We could switch to Ikuto, you know." He reminded. "If you want that is. But we have to stay like this for now."

"It's like fate is pairing us together." I mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing!" I said quickly.

"Well… since we ended early, do you want to head to the mall?"

"Fine." I managed to say. "But you have to treat me to another Parfait again."

"Alright." He chuckled.

AT THE PARFAIT SHOP:

I ordered this really girlish parfait called the "Glass shoes of Cinderella". Nagihiko insisted that we should share but I was being greedy and I told him that I could finish it. He didn't believe me but gave up and ordered himself a green tea parfait.

The "Glass shoes of Cinderella" was a parfait consisting of orange slices, apple slices, thin melon slices, a lychee, and strawberry swirl-vanilla ice cream topped with sprinkles and two strawberries all served in a glass shoe on a plate. We both stared for quite a while. It was far too pretty to eat.

Nagihiko's parfait was served in a flute consisting of kanten (A/N: Kanten is an agar or seaweed based coagulant. A coagulant is a transformation), green tea, wasambon artisan sugar, Kinako-sugar powder (A/n: Kinako=soybean) and topped with half soy milk and half green tea ice cream. Even his tastes were ancient and traditional.

As I scooped into the ice cream and fished out a strawberry, Nagihiko took small bites of his already small parfait. We didn't talk as much, since we were busy stuffing our mouths with parfait. As least I was, anyway.

"Rima Chan." He suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" I bit into an apple slice.

"Doesn't it bother you that we're practically on a date right now?" He smiled.

"A date?"

"Yep." He answered as I put my spoon down.

"Not at all since you're treating me to it anyway." I replied.

"I see…" he took another small spoonful of his parfait. I stared at him before taking a lychee and placing it on top of his parfait.

"Take it." I offered. "You were right, I can't finish it." He took a look of my parfait.

"Say it from the girl who finished everything except for the lychee." He laughed.

"I can't finish the lychee by myself."

"Open wide." I obeyed as he spooned some of his parfait into my mouth. USING HIS OWN SPOON.

It tasted too traditional but it was somewhat satisfying. Like a blend of green tea and soybeans with a hint of sweetness.

"RIMA! THAT WAS A KISS!" Kusu Kusu giggled.

"Cool Nagi!" Rhythm cheered and kissed Kusu Kusu on the cheek. "Yay!"

Then Temari, being the sweet girl-chara giggled and exclaimed: "Nagihiko, you should kiss Rima Chaan too!"

Of course, I felt my face heat up and I turned my head to prevent him from looking at my red face.

"I can tell that your blushing. You always hide your face whenever you do."

"J-JUST SHUT UP!" I exclaimed.

"I won't pay for your parfait then," He said.

"Fine!" I pushed my chair aside, stood up, kissed him on the cheek and sat back down. "Are you always that evil, Fujisaki?"

"Maybe," He smirked. "You're lucky that it wasn't on the LIPS."

"Ugh. You got your kiss, now let's finish up so that we could go to the mall."

"Alright, Rima Chan." He quickly finished the rest of his parfait and lychee before leaving the bill and a small tip. I swore I heard the nearby girls squeal. I AM SO NOT TAKING HIM TO THE PARFAIT SHOP EVER AGAIN!

WALKING TO THE MALL:

Yeah. We ran into Souma and Tsukiyomi on the way and they decided to tag along with us on the shopping.

AT THE MALL:

Utau realized that in order for me to become an adult, I had to have the 'proper size' so she dragged me to Victoria's secret. The males had no choice but to follow us in the department of lacy lingerie and sweet smelling perfumes. Fujisaki didn't seem to be affected by the view since he was already a crossdresser (and still is) but Souma have. He jolted at every sight he saw, and was constantly fidgiting.

"I don't need one." I retorted.

"Nonsense! Every girl needs one!"

"But I'm too flat. I don't think they have my size."

"You do realize that this place is made by a gay man?" Nagihiko sighed.

"SHHH!!" I blushed. "People don't need to know that!"

"But for a gay man, he does have good taste." Utau held up a black lacy thong. Kuukai looked as if he was getting ready to run out of the department or pass out on the floor.

"GOD! PUT THAT THING DOWN!" I snapped. "You're scaring Souma here."

She sighed and laid it down, then grabbed my hand and dragged me to that section.

Utau pulled open a few drawers and flipped through the contents. "Maybe this, and this…and this…"

"I'm telling you…" I started but I was being dragged to the fitting room and before I knew it, I was unbuttoning my shirt to try it on.

"Utau, You're insane." I grumbled.

"Hurry up. I want to see you in it."

"Okay..I'm done. I think. It feels weird."

"Get used to it." I examined myself in the mirror, turning from the left and staring at my reflection.

"I'm coming in." She said as she jiggled the knob. I made way for her to come in.

"Not bad" Utau observed. "But maybe it is too big for you. Let me see if they have a smaller size. Stay here,"

AND SO SHE LEAVES THE ROOM WHILE I REMAIN SHIRTLESS.

There weren't a lot of people in the department so the fitting rooms were pretty empty. I doubt that the males would come here, since it's A FITTING ROOM.

5 minutes later:

WHY THE HELL ISN'T SHE COMING?!

The room is getting cold now. Standing by yourself shirtless is not a comfortable thing to do and I'm already starting to get goosebumps.

Did she forget?

I reached for my cell phone to search for Utau's number but then I realized…

Another 5 minutes later:

OH, SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA! I realized that my purse is being held by Nagihiko!

Earlier, Utau had snatched the purse from me when she was holding it up because she said that it was getting in the way and men should be proper and hold their lady's purses. So I'm alone, shirtless and freezing cold.

3 minutes later:

I can't take it anymore! My face had just gone pale from the cold and I covered my chest with my thick hair.

Hah..I look like a mermaid.

1 minute later:

I managed to poke my head out of the fitting room to see if I could at least catch a glimpse of Utau.

After searching for a while, I see Utau chasing after a sales lady.

"YOU THERE! DO YOU HAVE THIS IN EXTRA EXTRA SMALL? MAYBE A SIZE AA? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY DON'T EXIST?! THEY HAVE A SIZE DD HERE!"

This will take a while. BLARG.

3 minutes later:

After looking at Utau fighting with the sales ladies for three straight minutes, I decided to head back to the fitting room so I turned around to find……

10 seconds later:

YES. YOU GUESSED IT. THE PERVERTED CROSSDRESSER. AND THE NEXT THING I DID… Well… I SCREAMED. LOUD. AND I RAN BACK TO MY CHANGING ROOM, WHILE COVERING MY CHEST.

5 minutes later:

"Rima Chaan…"

"Go away." I went into ball position.

"But I-"

"GO AWAY YOU FREAK!" Footsteps were heard.

"Rima." The door knob jiggled. I took my plastic hanger and threw it, hoping that he would get hit and go away but it was Utau that got hit instead.

"S-sorry." I squeaked.

"That's okay." She sighed. "They didn't have an extra extra small here."

"I told you so." I mumbled.

"Anyway, Nagihiko came out looking a bit upset."

"That freak." I muttered darkly.

"It wasn't his fault. You should go apologize."

"What for? He saw me SHIRTLESS!"

"You could have at least worn your shirt when you came out,"

"….oh."

"Stupid. Now get dressed, we're going out. I'm guessing that we won't come here for a LOOOONG TIME." Utau grabbed the unnessessary essentials and left the changing room while I buttoned up my shirt, adjusted the bow in my hair and left.

Nagihiko was standing in front, looking glum. "Here, Rima Chan."

I took the purse in silence and procceeded to walk ahead to Utau and passed-out Kuukai were standing.

As I walked, I felt my phone vibrate and took it out.

It was a text from the pervert. Annoyed, I put the phone back in my pocket and continued to walk.

That night:

I took the phone out, and looked at what the crossdresser had texted me.

4:35 pm Text from: Fujisaki Nagihiko

I'm sorry Rima Chan. I want to tell you that it is my fault for scaring you.

However, I never knew that you were shirtless and your thick hair made it

Impossible to notice. But I did think that with your hair arranged that way,

It strangely reminded me of a mermaid. Once again, I'm very sorry.

There were three things that I was positive about Nagihiko:

First, Nagihiko is a crossdresser.

Second, there was a part of him, which I thought was trying to be honest and kind to me.

And Third, I totally wish that Utau never dragged me there just for me to waste my time, go shirtless and humiliated and have Nagihiko see me and call me a mermaid.

This day seriously sucked.

A/N: AND I SUCK FOR UPDATING AHEAD OF TIME. BUT I FINALLY UPDATED, MY BELOVED READERS!

GOMEN FOR TAKING TOO LONG. SERIOUSLY.

I ran out of ideas and had to think of how I was going to piece this together and this chapter by far was the hardest to think of.

If you have any funny quotes to share: Add it in your review. You just might have yours added into future chapers! YAY!

Anyway, SPRING TERM IS UP! YAAARRGGGHH!!

So Last week, I took the liberty of resting after midterms were over. That meant going to Victoria's secret.. and POOR RIMA-CHAN! ToT

If you were wondering, you won't know what Nagihiko's grand master plan would end up until the COUNTDOWN IS OVER! muahaha.

Oh, I'll tell you the delay for my writing:

My comp had been acting really funny lately, so my parents went to get it updated and all my documents got deleted. Luckily, I sent a facebook message to my facebook friend so I didn't have to start ALL OVER. I CREDIT YOUR BRILLIANCE SAMA! NOW I SHALL REWARD YOU WITH A THOUSAND LOLIPOPS THE NEXT TIME WE MEET! xDD

MY CURRENT EVENT:

Just before, Last night our family was coming home from a restaurant when a Kitten followed us home. We suspected that it was a house cat and it would be cruel to leave her alone in the freezing cold (19 degrees F) so we let her in, but we couldn't keep her in our apartment so it was a very very tough situation. I also gave her the name of IKU. (Ikuto but my friends and I sometimes call him IKUKU) and so...I'm living with this situation. AND THAT SAME EXACT MORNING I HAD THIS HORRIBLE DREAM OF CORPES AND MUMMIES IN MY BEDROOM. NOW I SHALL GET TO HAUNT YOU! MUAHAHAHAHA!!

Just kidding.

This is such a random rant of my life, but I hope you people dont mind.

Now about my Fanfiction existance:

Gothic Lolita and IFPFA has been officially added to jackxqueen community group!

And even a couple of readers have mentioned my stories in their profiles. Here's one:

Hitomie Kaetie-Chan writes: Gothic Lolita - by: BiitoRizumoKeiko My thoughts: I cant remember if it is finished or not, but it is definitely full of surprises :) Great way to spend time-reading when you could be doing homework or other useless things XDDDDD

Even though Gothic Lolita and IFPFA are still new stories, it's slowly getting realized! Arigato MINNA AND HITOMIE KAETIE-CHAN! I LOVE YOU ALL!

QUICK HEADS UP: I won't be updating for another few weeks so I'll apologize beforehand. If it's updated earlier, it might be a bonus story equivalent to the length of all chapters or even two pages less. (Every chapter is about 6-8 pages long). But it's a maybe so I'm not tooo definate.

Until then, Thanks for all your reviews! LOVE YOU ALL!
