Recap:

A scream of bloody murder filled the sky…..

Normal Pov

Everyone ran outside. Rei's eyes widened then he collapsed, so did everyone else except Amu and Nagi. They looked around worried. Nagi pulled out Rhythms egg and chara-changed, Amu did the same with Ran. Another scream echoed in the air. It looked like it was coming from the beach. Nagihiko and Amu flew to the beach. They came upon a bloody scene. The sand was drenched in blood, not just any blood…..Rima's. A boy that looked exactly like her was bending over her body whispering something Nagi & Amu couldn't hear. As the tide came in, it brought Hiko & Hina in aswell, coughing and gagging for air.

"Go to them", Nagi commanded Amu. She ran over and helped them. Nagi watched Rima put a hand on the boys cheek saying something he couldn't hear. He caressed her hand with his then put it back by her side. Nagi began running at incredible speed towards them. He got close enough and pushed the boy off her. A silent whisper escaped from Rima, "No Nagihiko…..".

Nagi looked back in disbelief, then to the boy. Rima extended her hand to the boy," He is my brother Rani….D-d-do not hurt hi-". Before she could finish her sentence her hand fell and she went unconscious. Rani looked at Nagi, "Don't bother trying to kill me, or attempting too. If you come after me, I'll kill her the next time. My niece and nephew too". With that being said, he flicked back his ponytail of long honey-curls and gave one long stare at Rima. His golden eyes stared into hers, darted to Nagihiko then he spread his large black wings then left.

"Rima…", Nagi whispered as he rushed over to her. A ribbon of blood decorated her head and wrapped all around her body. He gently lifted her head onto his lap. Rima coughed and coughed until a fountain of blood was coming out of her mouth. Nagi's eyes began to water,"Rima…. Why would you're sibling do that to you? Why would anyone want to do that to you?". Rima's eyes opened slightly,"I abandoned him……I deserve it-". Nagi's eyes then turned to slits, his face painted with an ugly hateful expression. He picked up Rima carefully then looked for Amu. Nagi scanned the rest of the beach but saw only Miki. Miki flew up to Nagi," Amu had to take the kids back. They're at home….". Nagi looked up and began the walk home…..

It was around 3 in the morning when he arrived back home. Kairi, Kuukai, Yaya, Ikuto, and everyone else awoke. Rima laid there, her head wrapped with gauze, her body motionless. Hiko and Hina laid in a bed beside her, breathing with a respirator….. Nagihiko screamed,"How evil!", he grabbed Rei by the neck and began strangling him. Amu and Yaya attempted to stop him, but Kuukai blocked the way. Kairi pushed up his glasses and walked forward," You have some definite explaining to do Mr. Rei". Nagi held him up onto the wall, still strangling his neck.

"I'll tell you, le-le-", Nagi released him and he fell to the floor gagging. Everyone was very unhappy and glared at him with evil intent. When he regained his composure he spoke, "Rima is the 2nd youngest of quadruplets….There's Rina, Rani, Rami and Rima….she is the youngest of all of our siblings….a total of 9. When Rima left, she left when her other brothers and sisters were very young. They were some what feeling betrayed. Rani took it quite personally. He and Rima were quite close-". Amu put her index finger on his lip,"Let's get to the point shall we? Rani's pissed off, kinda psychotic if you will and he wants Rima's head. So how do we stop him? Who can get through to him?". Rei's eyes narrowed well maybe…..", he began to mumble. Ikuto snapped at him,"WELL GET IT STRAIGHT!OKAY!THESE KIDS AND RIMA ARE GONNA GET HURT! SO THINK FASTER!". Amu looked at him in shock,"I-i-i-kuto", she said silently. He glanced over at her," I'm not always a bad guy you know", he said grimly.

"The second oldest of our siblings….her name is Rachel. She was like the replacement Rima…. She is the only one who ever understood him….You see, Rima went to live with our father's old friend….I suppose they claimed she was their daughter….Anyways, our parents died in a car crash when we were little. So me and my older siblings took care of them. Rani and Rima were always VERY close. When she left he felt very betrayed and became some what psychotic…The only one who can get through to him, is Rachel, maybe…..". Rei looked down and did not speak a word more.

Ikuto scratched his head," Well its pretty simple. Just find Rachel". Kairi pushed his glasses up," Tis hard to find what cannot be found". Yaya and Amu gave a dummy translation look until Ikuto looked at them," Basically Rei here don't know where she is". Rei looked up, his mouth wide open," well yes….", he silently confessed. Yaya nodded," So when was the last time you talked to her?". Rei looked at Yaya," Three years ago". Yaya gapped.

"ANATAWA BAKA? !!~!(&%$^$#$#!#!$#^$%&^*&(*)()_)(&*^&%^%$#!~!!!#$%^&)__+_+_+)(*&%$#!~~!~!#$$er%r%^&*()_()p_p{}"?"?"::":::p)(*&^%$#!#$%^&*()_{:l:p)(*&^&*()_p:_)(*&^%$#!#$%^&*()p#:$$e#!!!!!". Kairi had to stop her by shaking her by the shoulders. Yaya was very different," I MAY ALWAYS ACT CHILDISH BUT I WOULD NEVER HURT TSUBASA IN SUCH A CRUEL WAY!THATS WRONG! YOU ARE SO WEAK! HOW CAN YOU SAY RIMA-CHAN ABANDONED THEM WHEN YOU VERY WELL DID THE SAME THING WITH THE REST OF YOUR SIBLINGS! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GUIDE AND TEACH THEM, TO FORGIVE BUT NOT COMPLETELY FORGET, TO LET OUT YOUR SADNESS SO IT DOES NOT EAT AWAY AT YOU LIKE A DISEASE, TURNING SADNESS INTO ANGER, ANGER INTO HATE, AND HATE INTO PURE INSANITY! AND YOU CALL YOURSELF THEIR BROTHER!!". Yaya lifted him up by the neck," who would know?!", she said darkly.

Everyone was in utter silence….. Yaya had never spoken so maturely and heartfelt before, nor in that dark tone. As Rei began to gag a silent whisper escaped from somewhere in the room. Yaya turned around and saw Hiko's hand weakly reaching out to her. Her eyes watered and she ran over to the child dropping Rei to the floor. Yaya grabbed his shaking hand. "Sorry I'm so sick Aunty Yaya. You've proved to me you are not childish and have a deep compassion and love for everyone. You have touched my heart-". Hina finished his sentence, "go to Diamond Head near the Shores of Waikiki-". "A small cove will await you, there will be a whirlpool-", said Hiko. "A man will arise from the whirlpool and ask for something of great importance as a toll-", Hina said. Hiko continued," once you have given him the toll he will allow you to pass. There will be four tunnels, you will have to split up but-". "do not worry the tunnels will all converge and you will be one again…..". They looked at one another," we tried to find her but that was as far as we got…..sorry we could not be of more use."Hiko and Hina closed their eyes and slept.

Ikuto's eyes twitched," the kid's Dr. Phil???And what's with this treasure map & mystical fantasy crap?!". Amu looked at him." We're in Hawaii now, if you didn't beat up the nerds to do your homework in World Mythology then you might actually know". Yaya looked over her shoulder," Hawaii is infamous for ghostly encounters and supernatural beings." Kairi pushed up his glasses," Yes, its known for its myths and legends…Many of which are real." Ikuto shook his head and Kuukai stuttered," s-s-since when was Y-Y-Yaya smart?!". Nagi looked at him and rolled his eyes, Amu walked between both of them and punched their heads," you should've had a V8 dumbasses." Nagi gritted his teeth," WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH YOURE CRAP!WE HAVE TO GET GOING!!!". Nagi stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Everyone went silent when a little voice called Nagihiko's name,"Nagihiko, Nagihiko", it was Rima's voice. She slowly sat up in bed, wincing in pain. Then Emo appeared," Rima, wake up. You need to let out your hearts desire and never hold back!". Then a Black light enveloped the room, and as it faded Rima was gone.

Rima Pov

I cant believe Nagihiko is dumb enough to do such a thing, I have to find him…..Lets do this Emo. Emo giggled from within her, you've finally realized you're true feelings. Follow you're heart and you'll find him. I smiled and picked up my pace in speed. Usually I sucked at ANYTHING athletic but with Emo at my side I felt invincible. Then I finally found him after hours of looking, damn boy. Got me all worried, I found him Chara-changed with Rhythm running to Diamond Head Crater. I silently whispered his name," Nagihiko". He stopped dead in his tracks and turned to me," Rima!". He ran to me and embraced me," How did you- No you must go home your'e-". I cut him off," In love with you". His eyes bore into mine, I grabbed his shirt and kissed him passionately.

While we were…erm, kissing a white light circled us. Emo came out of me and Rhythm came out of Nagi. They held one another's tiny chara hands," Eternal Heart beat!", they said in unison and Nagi and I's lips parted and we chara-changed into something else. Something we had never seen before. It was called Eternal Heart Beat. Instead of my black attire I had on a white lolita dress. It came to my knees it had similar boots like Nagi's when he's chara-changed with Rhythm in Beat Jumper. I had one white angel wing on the left of me. I had two music note clips in my hair and a music note on my left cheek. I looked angelic but then when I turned to Nagihiko I wanted to cry, He looked stunning. it made me want to cry a little. He had white pants and a white tank with a jacket over it. His shoes were white with wings on it….But then I saw it, on his right side he had a white angel wing and on his face a white musical note. I began crying, it was weird. I'd never felt like this before. A mix of awe and total love. I wasn't sure. Wait what the hell, I'm getting all mushy ewwww. Then in the midst of my incoherent mind-babbling, Emo and Rhythm appeared we looked just like them. Then I felt her….KusuKusu died when I thought my heart died. Heer egg broke and Emo was created from the pieces of her broken egg. As I looked Emo I saw KusuKusu and she spoke to me," Rima-tan , I never died. I was simply reborn in a way I could help you in your time of need. Now you've realized what I wanted to show you. You don't need to run away anymore. You can stop hiding and let you're true emotions out and be Rima. It's okay to love him Rima-tan. Do not ever doubt his love for you because he loves you more then life itself. Don't be sad anymore Rima-tan, be you. It's okay Rima-tan, it's okay". The she was gone and it was Emo again. I felt something tap my shoulders and I saw it was Nagi," Let's Go Rima". He extended his hand to me and I gladly excepted.

I then felt heartbeat speed and I stopped," I can feel the ocean calling to me". Rhythm spoke from inside Nagi," Hello Dummy you're hearts beat as one now. He knows what you feel, that's why it's called Eternal Heartbeat." I flustered know the mini-playboy was telling me off? What the heck. I shrugged off that feeling and began flying by the ocean. We landed on the beach and I walked toward the shore. I saw a mermaid fin, what the hell? It's Ariel. But then she walked out of the water, the fin dissipating and a mermaid-like chara floating beside her. It was Rachel, I let go of Nagi and ran to her. I embraced my sister and started crying," R-R-Rachel!!". She patted my back lightly and embraced me back," It took ya long enough Mama. I was waiting for you to come". (AN: Rima's nickname as a child. Mama) I looked up at my sister. She had grown since I had seen her….Oh but that was years ago. Tears had streamed down my face but they were no longer happy, I began thinking of Rani. She wiped the tear from my face," Rani…..I know. But this is going to take all of us. I wasn't prepared to do this alone. Rami is on his side, and Rina is in Maui. Raquel and I…….we're quite distant now." Nagi cleared his throat and interrupted them. I death-glared him but Rachel laughed," So you're finally complete lil' sister", and I blushed. Nagi smiled," I'm Nagihiko Fujisaki and….May I understand what is fully going on?". I sweat dropped," He was like Tada-gay right now'. He shot me a look and I burst out in fits of giggles. Rachel silenced me and began speaking," Alright Nagihiko-kun I will explain it to you like this……..

Ryan-26 (Rayn's twin)

Rayn-26

Rachel-22

Rei-20

Raquel-17

Rina-16

Rami-16

Rani-16

Rima-16

Nagi nodded," Okay I just want to know what Rima is dealing with so I may help her in any way possible". Rachel," Alright let's find the others".

At Home

Rima Pov

When we got there everyone gapped, they stared at Nagi, me, and Rachel. She was gorgeous, she had hair like mine down to her knees, golden eyes like mine. She was much taller and sleek though. Her eyes were welcoming and her smile was kind. The I heard two screams I knew these screams…….
