Hey guys! I managed to get rid of Jas first. She's sick with flu. :)Anyways, thanks for all the reviews! I'm glad they're all positive reviews. Again, I'm sorry if the characters are quite OOC. ^__^
I tried to update as soon as possible, but well, school. -.- I hope you like this chapter!

Shugo Chara is awesome so I most definitely do not own it. ^^

By the way, sorry for the error last chapter. The part when Rima described Nagi and Kukai. It should be brown haired not green. ^^
I was really confused on who I should pair Yaya up with. At first, it's with kairi but I decided that Nadeshiko and Kairi looks better and that Yaya and Kukai's love team is cuter. ^^

Oh well.

Yaya's POV

Candy…check! Teddy bear…check! Clothes…check! Boring school stuff… check! More candy…check! Okay, it's seems that Yaya is complete!

"come on pepe-tan! Let's buy ice cream!" I said to pepe. Pepe smiled at me and said yes.

"yaya-chan! Someone's knocking at the door. I'm busy looking over tsubasa." Mama said.

I walked towards the door humming. I opened it and was surprised at what I saw. There, standing outside the door is none other than,

"Kukai!" I yelped.

He sweatdropped. "Yo Yuiki-san." He said.

I shook my head. "no, no, no. Call Yaya, Yaya!" I said.

"okay then, yaya." He said grinning.

"what brings you here?" I asked.

He took out a red, velvet envelope. Ooh, it looks like a licorice. "here's an invitation to the royal garden. We have something to say to you guys."

I took the red envelope. "will there be sweets?"

"um…yeah?"

"then yaya's coming!!!" I said. he chuckled. What's funny?

"okay then, see you around." He said than walked away.

"buh-bye kukaiii!" I yelled. He waved his hand at me. Haha! Sweets!

Oh, this is good…

End of POV

Rima's POV

"stupid purple head…" I muttered while walking. I'm on my way to the royal garden. Wherever that is.

I walked for what seemed like ages and FINALLY I arrived. And woah…this place is huge. And by huge I mean, HUMONGOUS! It's pretty too.

"yahoo Rima-tan!" yaya waved. I walked over to them.

"how was your night?" Nadeshiko said.

"bad."

She giggled. WHAT'S SO FUNNY?! Why's Nadeshiko find it amusing that I'm suffering?! "what happened Rima?" amu asked.

"well…"

Flashback

"Bala-balance!" kusu-kusu and I rolled on the floor laughing…literally. This gag is classic!

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket so I checked who the message was from. After reading the message, I had a confused look on my face.

"what's wrong Rima-tan?" kusu-kusu asked. I showed her the message. "come meet me at the park tonight, 8:35. don't be late rima-chan!" she read.

"who's that Rima?" I shrugged at kusu-kusu. Then I checked the time, 7:25. oh well, better see who this is. I stood up and picked up my coat. Then I took out the long rope I made using our old blanket and tied it on my window pane.

Then I rappelled out of the window. "just like old times! Teehee~!" kusu-kusu said.

I arrived at the park shivering so I rubbed my arms. I looked around and no one was there. What, is this a joke?!

"Rima…" kusu-kusu said.

I was about to leave when I heard a voice. And not just any voice, yes it's the voice of the insufferable know-it-all, purple head. (I got that line from his English term paper yesterday.)

"Konbanwa rima-chan!" he said.

I crossed my arms. "my evening's not good when you're around."

"I'm ignoring thaaaat," he said in a sing-song voice.

"what did you call me here for anyways?" I asked him.

Then he smiled. Annoying smile. "you should be more polite Rima-chaaan!" he said in a sing-song way AGAIN.

"fine. Oh-so-great fujisaki-sama what did you call me here for? Please tell me." Okay, I know I was being sarcastic but if that's the only way to make him tell me then, what the heck.

"better. Okay, here's an invitation to the Royal garden tomorrow." He said. then he handed me a velvet envelope. Then, I saw earphones appear on his neck. Or is that just my imagination?

When I looked up, he was smirking. "what are you smirking at?" I glared at him.

"tsk, tsk, tsk. Rima-koi you should treat me better!" he said waving his index finger. Wait, there's something different with the way he speaks.

"wait, KOI?! And what's wrong with you?"

"nothing rima-KOI! Actually, I think I'm craving for something right now…" he said. craving? What, mangoes?

"what?" I asked.

"I'm craving for…" he held my face. Wtf are you doing?! "…you." He said then almost kissed me.

Emphasis on the ALMOST. I took a step back then ran away.

"Rima-tan, you're blushing~!" kusu-kusu said.

WHAT?! I'M NOT! Seriously what's with him?!

End of Flash Back

"it's nothing. I just had a nightmare." I pretended. There's no way I would tell them what happened last night. But there's one teeny, tiny problem.

HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO FACE FUJISAKI NOW?!

Oh lord take me now.

We entered the 'Royal garden' as they call it. Okay, I have to admit, it looks awesome. I mean, there are lots of flowers inside, a fountain and it's so relaxing. I was so mesmerized by the place that I didn't notice that Amu and the others were gone.

"crap," I muttered. Did I mention that this place is HUGE? plus, it's like a maze. Dammit.

I wandered around hoping to find the exit but… "ah, I passed that bush 3 times already." I said to no one. Uggh. I sound like a retard.

"nope but you're pretty close." I heard a voice. I looked to my right and saw purple head. Nasty thing.

"what did you say?" I asked.

"I said, no you're not but you're close to being retarded." He said. retard… OH MY GOSH, HOW DID HE KNOW THAT?! Don't tell me that he's a mind reader!

"I'm not, but I sure can hear. You're mumbling what you're thinking." He said.

"oh.." stupid Rima! Is that all you can say?! I mentally slapped myself.

Then fujisaki walked towards me so that we're standing close to each other. "aww, is Rima blaming herself?"

I glared at him. "what, did I mumble that too?!"

"nope. You're like an open book, I can read you clearly." He replied. Stupid, blunt person.

I stubbornly crossed my arms. "what do you want?"

"well, amu-chan and the others came but you weren't there. Then they said they lost you in here." He said.

"it's your fault. It's like a forest here." I replied.

"well…" then he twirled his hair using his fingers. "you should've passed through the front door."

FRONT DOOR?! So that was the back door?! I blame amu.

"come on Rima-chan!" he said holding my hand. Wait…

h-h-h-he's holding my h-hand!

I pulled my hand away. "don't touch me." I said.

He looked at our hands then smirked. "why Rima-chan? Don't tell me you don't like it?"

"frankly, yes I don't." then there was silence between us.

"sorry." He said. why is he… "for yesterday." Oh that… I didn't answer him.

"it was my chara's fault." He said. "whenever I chara change with him, I do things like that."

I raised an eyebrow. "really? You think I'm stupid enough to believe that?"

He shrugged. "follow me then." And so, we walked in the maze. Apparently, I was going the right way. But they have tons of that bush in the garden you'll think that you have passed it many times. Boo.

"rima!" amu hugged me. "where were you?! We thought that you were following us!"

"um…I lost track of you guys."

Nadeshiko giggled. "same old Rima-chan!"

I glared at her. "are you implying something?"

"nade-chan is saying that you always get lost and she also implies that you have no common sense and no sense of direction!" yaya said happily.

"thanks yaya. I needed that." Note the sarcasm.

"so why did you call us here?" amu asked the 4 boys whose sitting there casually.

Kairi stood up. "we want you guys to join the guardians."

"WHAT?!" the 4 of us said together. "hey, can I ask a couple of questions?" I asked.

"sure." Kairi replied.

"okay, first. Why are you inviting us? Second, I thought this was an all-boys group. Third, what would you do if you refuse? And fourth, what's with the guardians thing anyways?

Kairi sweatdropped at my continuous asking of questions. "um…. We're inviting because you have charas and based on my data, you guys are brilliant. No, it was. We changed it. You can't refuse mashiro-san and we represent seiyo high and fight x-eggs. You guys can help us."

"how sure are you that we can help?" I asked.

"I assume you can character transform." He said. how did he—dang it. His sources are good.

"conference!!!" yaya yelled then dragged us three to a corner. "so what about it guys?"

"hmm…I think it might be good." Nadeshiko said.

"what?!"

"are you insane?!"

"why nade-chan?"

Clearly, the first one is amu, the second is me and the third one is yaya. "think about it. If we join, we can be familiarized with the school immediately and we can know more about charas. Besides, we can train our skills more."

"yes, Nadeshiko does have a point there." Amu agreed.

Wait, what?! "hey are you sure? When you agree, you can't back out you know."

"we know that!" amu hissed. "you're putting too much pressure!"

"me?!" I hissed back.

"yes you! You're giving too many excuses!"

"I want brownies~!!" yaya said out of the blue!

I glared. "no yaya, this is no time for eating."

"don't worry yaya-chan, I'll make you one." Nadeshiko said.

Amu smiled. "oh! The one with the nuts?"

"yeah, that one is good~!!" yaya licked her mouth.

"FOCUS PEOPLE!" geez. They still have time to think of brownies?!

"sorry." The three of them said.

"we don't have all day you know," we looked back and saw the blue-haired boy yawning. I thought I saw amu blushed slightly out of the corner of my eyes. I just shrugged it off.

"so, are you gonna join or what?" souma said.

"fine, we'll join." Amu said.

Nagihiko grimaced. "hah! Told ya you can't refuse!"

I glared at him. "we have our reasons. And you—" I paused. Wait a sec…

DID I JUST CALLED HIM NAGIHIKO IN MY MIND?! My eyes widened. "is there something wrong, Rima-chan?" he asked.

"nothing." I replied. "AND DON'T CALL ME RIMA-CHAN YOU PURPLE HEAD!"

He smiled anyway. Gaaah. Then souma tossed us something. It's red, checkered, it's like a skirt and has a button. My gosh, it's a cape!

"what's this for?" Nadeshiko asked.

"it's the royal cape. all of the members of the guardian has to wear that." Kairi explained. Royal cape huh… at least it looks good with my hair. I looked at the 4 boys. Ah, they are wearing the cape. I didn't notice it earlier. Heh.

"hell no am I wearing this!" amu said looking at the cape with disgust.

"you don't have to if you really don't want to." Fujisaki said then smiled at amu.

"thanks." She smiled back. Then I felt something. I felt mad…annoyed…angry… and…weird. What do you call this feeling? Jealousy? Oh no, no, no, no. I am NOT jealous of purple head and amu.

And so, we all sat down on the round table and talked about what guardians do. We also talked about the list of activities and which positions we get.

"so, Yuiki Yaya, you are the ace of cloves chair. Hinamori Amu, you are the Joker, Mashiro Rima is the queen and Nadeshiko Fujisaki is the ace of hearts." Kairi said. "So, Hinamori-san, you have to work with Ikuto for today since he's the king's chair."

"what?! Even though he's the king and I'm the joker, that doesn't mean that we should work together!" amu protested.

Kairi adjusted his glasses. "you have to. Since the joker has special duties, it's the king's job to explain them to you."

Amu pouted. "okay then… Souma Kukai, Jack of cloves will work with Yuiki-san."

Yaya and Souma grinned. Eh? It seems like they like each other. "I, the jack of hearts will work with fujisaki-san."

HOLD UP! It means that… "yes, you're thinking correctly mashiro-san. You shall work with Nagi, the jack of spades for today." Great, he's a mind reader too. -.-

"but I—" but Nadeshiko cut me off. "so, what are we going to do Sanjo-kun?"

"King and Joker will go shopping for supplies." Kairi started. "We'll go with them."

"what, to make sure that amu-chii and iku-tan won't do anything?!" yaya said.

Kairi sweatdropped. "something like that… next, Yuiki-san and Kukai will have to take care of the garden."

Yaya and Souma high-fived. "Nagi and Mashiro-san will go fix the books in the library."

"okay then." Purple head said. Uggh, I hate this. After that, purple head and I proceeded to the library.

Tom sawyer by Mark Twain… Twilight by Stephanie Meyer... BORING.

For the past hour all we've been doing is to sort books. I'm getting bored. I peeked at purple head whose at the aisle next to mine. He's putting the books calmly and he looks relaxed.

I started to put the next book in when purple head talked for the first time that afternoon. "ne Rima-chan…"

"hmm?"

"I was wondering if…" he trailed. What? Is he shy or something? "if…I could walk you home?"

Omg, he's being nice to me! Ladies and gentlemen, fujisaki Nagihiko is being nice to me, Mashiro Rima. My respect for him has increased.

"um, okay." I replied.

Then he poked his head out of the shelves and that startled me. I 'accidentally' dropped the pile of books I was holding. Then I glared at him.

"wow… I didn't think that you would agree Rima-chan! Are you falling for me?" he said smirking. Then he looked at the books on the floor. "oh, better pick those up Rima-chan." Then he went back to whatever he was doing.

Stupid fujisaki. I then bent down to pick up the books. Fine then, if that's the way you want it, then you got it.

We finished at 6:00 and the sky is dark already. I looked at purple head then he looked back. "so, I'll walk you home then?"

Walk me home? Hah, if I knew, he'll just leave me behind then laugh at me. Well then, TOO BAD! I'M NOT THAT STUPID!

"yes… wait for me at the school gate, I have to settle things here." I said. he nodded then walked out. I repeat, stupid fujisaki.

I didn't really have anything to settle with. i walked out of the school using the back exit that no one knows of. "Rima!" kusu-kusu said. "why are you leaving Nagi?! He's waiting for you!"

I ignored her.

"Rima, put the plates on the sink." I nodded and approached the sink. I looked out of the window and the rain started to pour. Oh…so that's why the sky was dark.

"rima… nagi doesn't know that you're home already…" kusu-kusu said.

"so?" I asked.

Kusu-kusu scowled. "he still might be there waiting for you!"

t-that's not true right? Because if it is…h-he might catch a cold waiting for me! But wait…no one is THAT persistent. "that's not true." I said.

Then we heard a tap from the window. Kusu-kusu opened it and a chara with purple hair entered. Wait…that's fujisaki's chara! When he saw me he was shocked.

"rima… you're here!" he said. "then nagi…"

"what? What happened to him?!" I asked. Oh please, don't tell me something happened to him… not like I care or anything.

"Nadeshiko was worried that he isn't home yet, but I said that it's fine because he's with you. But nagi isn't the type who makes us worried so…"

"but weren't you with him?!" I'm so worried now...

He had a pissed off expression on his face. "no. he asked me to leave so that I won't do what I did yesterday. By the way, I apologize for that."

PURPLE HEAD WAS TELLING THE TRUTH! Now, he's making me feel bad. I hate him.

Suddenly my phone vibrated in my pocket. I looked at the caller ID. "Nadeshiko…?" I muttered.

(a/n: the italicized words are nadeshiko's and the normal ones are Rima's.)

"Hello?"

"rima-chan? Is nii-san with you?"

"no. but don't worry he'll be home soon—"

"No! nii-san keeps his word. He still might be outside the school waiting for you! Rima-chan, you have to come back."

"are you serious? In this weather? And, why don't you go?"

"Yes, I am serious. And, I can't come because even if I did, he won't come home with me. He'd still be waiting for you."

"but I—"

"JUST GO RIMA-CHAN!"

"okay fine sheesh. Calm down." Then I hung up. I looked at rhythm and kusu-kusu. "let's go."

We arrived at school and the weather's just getting worse. I looked around and saw no sign of nagihiko. I sighed. He must've went home already. Nadeshiko's so paranoid.

I was about to leave when rhythm stopped me. "no wait, I can feel his presence."

We followed rhythm around. And guess what?

Done~! You have to read on to know what happened. =p~ I'm so evil.
Anyways, R&R people! I need it. If there are any errors in my grammar or spelling, please feel free to tell me. ^^
