"Hey Nagi," Chunge announced. "your friend's here,"
"We are NOT friends," I muttered. There he was, still also in his school clothes.
"Who-" Nagi looked at me. "oh Rima? What brings you here? I thought you hated Japanese tea,"
I felt a blush on my cheeks. No not THAT kind of blush!!! Geez. And did I just call purplehead by his nickname? Ugh. I hate to admit it, but it gets catchy.
"My mom signed me up for this and didn't tell me till the day before,"
"Oh," Nagihiko thought for a moment. Then his eyes lit up. "So that what it was all about!" He laughed.
"About what?" I said, he's starting to annoy me now.
"The bad mood. You knew it was at my house huh? And that's the thing that really upset you today." he stated. Ugh. I am officially annoyed. I decided not to answer him. "Oh Rima, this tea class isn't that bad. It's very cultural and kinda of fun," he smiled.
Chunge snickered. "He's kind of lying," she whispered. "It's complicated and boring,"
"Don't listen to a thing she says," Nagihiko advised. "did you introduce yourself yet Chunge? Rima, this is my distant cousin by the way,"
"All said and done. By the way, why are you still in your uniform? I wear a kimono and you two make me feel so misplaced!"
"I'm in the Guardian Club remember? I get home later. Chunge, please don't discourage Rima from participating,"
Too late. I think I would've anyways. It's not like I 'participate' in the first place. Then a question popped into my mind. "Where are the other kids that are supposed to come here?"
"Other kids?" Nagihiko said.
"Hahahaha!" Chunge started laughing.
"What's so funny?" I demanded. I know comedy, and this wasn't it. "There's nothing to laugh about,"
"Other kids? If she said anything about other children, she meant me. This is it," she replied. WHAT? What do you mean this is it? Did Ms. Fujisaki LIE to me? She's as suspicious as her son too! I was fuming on the inside.
"Awww! It's so boring with three people!" Kusukusu complained.
"I think this as just about as interesting as it gets," Chunge commented.
"Well, let's start the first lesson now shall we?" Nagihiko clapped his hands.
"Hah. Sure thing sensei," Chunge joked. That wasn't funny either!
"There is no way I'm going to call you that!" I exclaimed.
Nagihiko looked at me funny. "Awww... I don't even get much respect here from you as
I do at school? And I'm the instructor too!" he whined. I glared at him. "it's okay Rima. I won't make you call me that, but can you promise to try and learn some things while taking this course?" Meh. No promises. "Our mother's wouldn't be pleased with both of us if I let you slide."
What does he care?
Chunge sighed and got up. "Where are you going?" Nagi asked. Yes, where was she going?
"I'm getting some instant ramen of course! x3 "
Major sweatdrop.
"What?!" Nagihiko exclaimed. "You're leaving this for RAMEN?!"
"Fer'sure!" Chunge exclaimed. (Since when did Japanese people say that phrase? O.o)
"You're leaving this for ramen? Wouldn't your aunt get mad?" I said. My voice was a bit shaky. Why? Because she was leaving me for INSTANT RAMEN! And even worse, she's leaving me with her distant cousin! If there's one thing I don't want, it's sufferring alone. ALONE. It's much better to suffer with a stranger than this! I got pretty freaked out. What was he gonna do? Would he torture me? Was he gonna get perverted? GROSS! But's he's not like that right? Or will he simply annoy me to death? That's would at least be better than anything else right now. I can die and hate him more than ever then, and then my restless spirit will come back and haunt him forever or something.
"Aunt Fujisaki wouldn't get mad if she doesn't know," she winked.
"And what if I tell? She'll probably believe me anyways," Ha! It's like blackmail. She gave me a look then turned to Nagihiko.
"Keep an eye on her please,"
"Kusukusu wants to go too! She's hungry!" my chara whined.
"No Kusukusu," I said. "This is not our home so we can't wander around. It's a big house and you night get lost or in trouble. Plus, I want you to stay with me."
"Aww... you poor thing," Chunge said to Kusukusu. "Rima, can she go for just a bit? She'll be with me so she won't get into trouble. We'll just look for the ramen package and cook it for like 3 minutes. Being hungry really really sucks!"
"Yeah! Just for three minutes! It won't take long! Please Rima," Kusukusu begged. Geez! Can you go for two hours without eating?! But then again, charas don't eat much.
"Fine," I grumbled. "Remember to come back as SOON as you're done cooking it for three minutes,"
"Thank you Rima-chan!" the starving idiots cried. Then they left me with purplehead. TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITORS! I am stuck in agony with purplehead for THREE WHOLE MINTUES! THAT'S TERRIBLE. I started twitching my eye.
"Don't worry Rima. It's not like I'm gonna try to do anything to you," Nagihiko casually said.
"Whatever. Don't tell anyone about this okay?" That okay was more like an "I demand you not to tell anybody or else I will kill you." After all, I can have almost every boy in the school join in an army and beat anyone up.
He sat across from me. "I won't tell." he sighed. "Would you like me to show you the basics of drinking tea now?"
"I want to wait for Kusukusu to come back," I said.
"Fine, but if they're not coming in three minutes then I'll have to start without them. I'm was already late anyways,"
"Fine. Whatever,"
-----------THREE MINUTES LATER------------
"Welcome to your first lesson in Sado!" Nagihiko clapped.
"What?! What about Chunge? And Kusukusu!"
"Mr. Nikaido doesn't delay his lessons when a person in class is absent now does he?"
"Yeah, but that is in SCHOOL,"
"Basically, this is a school too, only it's a dance school and this is Sado class!" Nerd. (A/N go nerds! xD )
Ughhh!!!!!
"We'll go over the basics. This is the Chabako or tea box. It holds the equipment used for tea making, and this thick bowl is the bowl used for drinking thick tea. We won't make tea today, but we'll go over a few rules about drinking tea." Blab blah blab blah blab blah. Chunge and Kusukusu are TRAITORS!!!
Ten minutes later of endless lecturing Nagihiko showed me how to spin the bowl to the backside and pretend to take a sip of tea. Why couldn't we use CUPS instead? Then he made me try spinning it.
"You're spinning it too much. Here, it's like this," Nagihiko gently grasped my hand and started guiding me how to properly spin the stupid bowl. I blushed. He had really warm, soft hands. Does he use lotion or something? Mental smack!
"Okay, okay. I got it. Geez." He let go. Phew! A wave of relief crashed upon me. I think I was still blushing.
Then the door slid open and the now-not-so-hungry traitors burst in the room holding two cups of ramen."We're soooooo sorryy Rima-chan!" they wept. Chunge was the first to talk.
"So we were going to get some ramen right?"
"Then Chunge and I tried looking for the ramen cups, but we couldn't find them!"
"So we ended up searching the whole kitchen until I nearly tripped over the box,"
"And we had to cook them, but we had to wait for it to cool a bit!"
"Want some?" Chunge offered.
"Well I hope you two can still eat while knowing that I was asking Nagihiko to delay the lesson to wait just for YOU TWO!" I yelled. I almost completely forgotten about how I was sitting in agony with purplehead in front of me.
Chunge pouted. "Aww! You got me in a guilty mood! now I can't eat this thing whole-heartedly anymore!"
"Why didn't you get any for me?" Nagihiko complained.
"Nagi never asked, but you can share with us!" Kusukusu snickered.
"Why'd you get two cups? Kusukusu, you can't even finish a sixth of that!" Idiot! The cup was even bigger than her! Honestly, Guardian Charas' stomachs are like fish stomachs: their stomachs are only the size of their eyes. Well, close to that.
"Don't get so upset Rima," Nagihiko advised. "After all, being without Kusukusu for ten minutes wasn't so bad," Purplehead smiled.
"I hate you," I mumbled. He looked away from me. Could he hear me? Shoot. That wouldn't be too good. On the other hand, he did know I didn't like him at first, so there. Not much of a concern to me anymore.
"It's cuz Rima loves me that much! Look look! Weird face!"
"So cold Rima-chan," Chunge sweatdropped. Her gaze swept across the room from me and Kusukusu to Nagi.
"You two still don't want some ramen?"
"No it's okay," Nagihiko said softly, still avoiding to look at me.
"Whatever! Let's eat!" she grinned.
-----------Two Cups of Instant Ramen Later------------
"Finished!" One hour and a half later. Idiots! Who the hell takes that long to eat two cups of ramen?!
"I ate too much!" Kusukusu whined. Well that's what you get when you eat things three times your size.
The door slid open. "Mama?" Mom and Mrs. Fujisaki stood by each other. Smiles were plastered on their faces.
I don't know why, but something told me this wasn't good.

chapter 3! i'm on a writing roll! now next comes writer's block! Whoppee!!! -___-" i think i told you guys before, I really don't have a clear vision of this story. okay, so i plan this fic to be about say, 10 chapters long? and plan to finish it before school ends (that is, june 16) i have a few ideas in my head, but still. :p and this fic might move pretty quickly considering the fact that the state test is comin up in 2 weeks and my teachers have lightened up their homework load A LOT so basically only a math assignment and a lot of "studying" :p and i happen to sit on my ass writing at least an hournhalf day.
Haha, thank me for making my OC and kusukusu leave for a snippet of rimahiko. xD don't worry, more will come. I promise!yay rimahiko! x3and instant ramen! *^O^* (hehe sorry. but i was eating while writing this :P ) the flaws are from distraction. xDKukai and Utau: RAMEN!!! :3
