If You Chose Nagihiko…

I found myself waking up at 5AM to get ready for school the next day. I stared at myself in the mirror. The school uniform from the campus looked good on me, but not as good as some of the cute girls already attending. I applied a light shade of pink to my eyelids to give them a little more life, but the color was light enough to not be noticed unless you were close to me. It was the first time in a long time that I applied some mascara to my eyelashes. In all, I felt like I was getting read for a date.

I still couldn't believe how excited I was about walking to school with Nagi.

I tied my hair into a side ponytail and added a bright red x-barrette to the pony tail. Maybe just a little lip gloss? I put a tiny dab on and slipped the tube into my pocket. Shuffling downstairs, Ra and Miki gave me knowing looks.

"What is it?"

"You're going to see Fujisaki-san, aren't you?" Miki asked.

"Y-Yes, why?"

"Well, good luck in school today."

"Amu-chan, you're really good with make up." Ran said delightfully.

"T-Thank you." I asked the two of them, "Does it really look ok?"

"You look stunning, Amu-chan." Suu said.

"Well you better eat some breakfast. Can't go meeting a boy on an empty stomach!" Dia chimed.

"Yes, ma'am."

"I made eggs and pancakes for your first day of school."

"My mom did the same thing." I say looking at the meal set before me.

"Eat up!" Miki ordered. "You'll need the energy to stay awake in all those classes!"

"Ugh…Nagi's classes are all dance. So I just need the energy to move."

"Well, you better hurry up and eat if you don't want to be late!"

"Yes, ma'am."

I ate my lunch, thanked them, then left the house. Nagihiko was already waiting for me by the gates.

"Good morning, Nagi!"

"Morning, Amu-chan." Nagihiko smiled.

"Were you waiting here long?"

"Nope, maybe like five minutes."

"I'm sorry that I made you wait at all."

"You look pretty today."

"T-Thank you!"

"I'm glad you didn't over do it." Nagi's voice sounded really relieved.

"Hm?"

"Most of the other girls on their first day put on so much make up and accessories that it ended up looking more ugly than pretty. "

"Oh, that sucks for them."

"Yeah. But either way the guys love it."

"Hm, will I be stared at too?"

"Yep, you definitely will." Nagi held my hand. "But don't worry! None of them will have a chance to get close to you."

"Eh?"

"You'll be at my side all day, understand?"

"Y-Yes."

"The first class is mostly sitting in a desk, so we better hurry or else we get the bad text books!"

We walked as fast as we could to the performing arts building and sat in the back of the classroom. Nagi grabbed us two of the last good books and showed me what pages the class was on. To be honest, all that was being said to me was practically gibberish to my ears. Nagihiko sensed that and passed me his notebook.

"What?" I whispered.

"I'll take notes for you, you can read my previous notes." He whispered back.

"But what about the your notebook?"

"I can copy the nets I make in yours later!" Nagi gave me a reassuring smile.

"Thank you!"

I flip through the notes of the notebook. it doesn't take me long to notice how good of a student Nagi is as well as how organized. His handwriting is impeccable and his notes were so organized and simple that a middle schooler could understand what was going on in this class.

The classes went by without a hitch, but it was evident that most of the guys had their eyes on me as I walked by. The other girls that were enrolled here were rarely in this department, surprisingly.

"It's only you and two other girls in this department."

"Who are they?"

"One is studying to become a good comedian and the other is perfecting her directing."

"They should like the perfect partners."

"They kind of are." Nagihiko agreed.

"Will I meet them?"

"Probably." Nagihiko replied. "Well our next class isn't for another two hours, would you like to grab lunch?"

"But it's only ten o'clock?"

"Trust me, you'll need the food."

"Alright.."

"Plus it does take us a half hour to get there, to chose a place to eat, and then another thirty to get the food.."

"Ok, ok. I get it." I giggled.

"So..in reality we would be eating at around eleven."

"What's a good place to eat lunch?"

"Doesn't matter really as long as you become full."

"Hmm, alright."

"I'll take you to my favorite place to eat." Nagihiko beamed.

"There aren't anymore rivals at this restaurant, are there?"

"Nope, I promise."

"Ok.."

"I don't think Noda-san will bother us during another date." Nagi smiled.

We both paid for ourselves to get in and we were seated at a table.

"Please enjoy your meal."

"Oh and you may meet my sister, Nadeshiko."

"When?"

"Sometime soon. She doesn't attend this university so it may not be for awhile."

"Oh.." We walked around the buffet and chose the food we liked.

"WHERE'S FUJISAKI?!" A young masked man came bursting into the restaurant.

Nagihiko ducked down and pulled me down with him. The masked man was taller than Nagi, but was definitely dangerous. He carried two guns, one in each hand. He held them out menacing.

"He's looking for me." Nagi said in a hushed tone.

"Do you know who he is?!"

"I think so…" Nagi had a clouded expression as the commotion around us grew.

"i finally found you!" The crazy man yelled, spotting Nagihiko.

Choice A: Shield Nagi.

Choice B: Push Nagi out of the way.

Choice A Outcome:

"Nagi!" I screamed and shielded him as soon as the crazy man pulled the trigger.

"Amu-chan!" Nagi had a complete look of terror on his face as our eyes met.

We both felt the force of the bullets as they hit my back.

I couldn't get the feeling of Nagi's arms around me out of my mind.

Choice B Outcome:

"Nagi!" I screamed and pushed him out of the way as soon as the crazy man pulled the trigger.

"Amu-chan!" I heard him yell.

His yell was lost within the screams of the crowd.

My body rattled as the bullets hit my body.

My eyes were on Nagihiko the whole entire time.

Continuation:

"Dammit! You weren't supposed to get hit." The masked man pulled off his mask. "Now look at you."

"EH?"

I was ok?!

I peered down at my shirt and saw that it was covered in multi-colored paint. The shirt was completely ruined and my skirt was somewhat affected. The crowd in the restaurant started to giggle.

"I should have guessed it was you." Nagi said in an angered tone. "Amu-chan, are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah." I wiped a speck of paint from my cheek.

"It's pay back for making our school lose the championship." The young man looked at me. "Well, it was meant for you."

"Aren't you being a little childish?"

"Let's go get you changed." Nagihiko ushered me outside. "Sorry about all this."

"It's ok."

"You're trembling."

"I was so scared!" I blurted out.

"Amu-chan.."

"I thought you were seriously going to be killed!" I mumbled quickly.

Nagihiko held my shoulders, "Amu-chan, look at me."

"I thought you..i thought he.."

"Amu, look at me."

I looked up at him in the midst of my anxiety. He held my face in between his hands.

"Look at me." Our eyes were locked on each other. "I'm ok."

"I know.." I whispered.

People were staring at us as they passed.

"Come on." He let go of my face and took my hand instead. "I think I know a place where we can clean up your uniform."

"O-Ok."

Nagihiko led me around the campus until we came to the main building where the shoe lockers were.

"Here." He opened his locker and took out a spare uniform. "It might be a bit big, but it's all I have."

"T-Thanks." I say, taking it.

"No problem. I locked the door so no one will come in."

"So I can change here?"

"Yep. Don't worry, we're the only ones in here."

"the only ones..?"

"Yeah. I'll go over here so you can change." He walked away farther into the locker room.

I blushed as I watched him leave, he was such a gentlemen.

I stripped off my paint ridden uniform and started to put on Nagihiko's clothes.

"They are a bit big.." I say to myself, pulling my arms through the sleeves.

"Are you done?"

"Yep!"

Nagihiko walked back to me.

"You're almost my size!" Nagihiko exclaimed. "You look so cute with baggy clothes on."

His childish grin was too adorable for words to describe.

"I don't think I can dance in these clothes…"

"Don't worry. It'll work out."

2 HOURS LATER…

"Nagi!" I yelp.

"What?!"

"I can't do this step!" I complain.

This class was for highly skilled dancers. It was hard for me to understand what to do. The instructor had already chewed me out multiple times.

"Nagi, would you just teach her this routine? You seem to have mastered it already."

"Yes, sir!" Nagihiko replied and brought me to a place in the room apart from the group.

"I'm sorry.."

"It's only the first class, but that's ok." Nagi said cheerfully. "I don't blame you, I mean this is an experts class."

"I'll try harder!"

"Good girl." Nagihiko patted my head and proceeded to teach me the routine.

By the time class was over I managed to do half of the routine perfectly.

"You did a good job today, Hinamori-san." The instructor praised me. "To be put in this class on the first day, I commend your efforts."

I bowed to the teacher, "No, thank you for letting me join your class."

"I haven't seen such hard work in a long time."

"WHAT'D THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?" The rest of the class (which was about five other people) yelled.

"Well, that's it for today."

I could still feel everyone's eyes on me as I left the room. It was obvious that I was wearing Nagihiko's clothes.

"What's wrong?" Nagihiko asked as we headed to the next studio.

"Everyone keeps staring at me…"

"It's because you're so cute." He put his arm around me. "I told you, I won't let anyone come near you."

"Fujisaki!"

"Noda!"

"I thought you would be taking classes right now."

"Yeah, we're heading there now."

"Well, I just wanted to say thank you for yesterday." Noda bowed.

"No need to bow to me, Noda-san." Nagihiko smiled.

"But you're my senpai and.."

"So? You're my wingman." Nagi grinned. "Or you didn't know that already?"

"I..I.." Noda grinned. "Right!"

"Well, we better be going."

"Bye!" Noda said dashing off into the opposite direction.

"Why was he in this building?"

"He takes a class here to work out his physical ability level."

"Dancing up increases your physical ability?"

"Well you are working a lot of different muscles when you dance." Nagi grinned and opened the door for me.

"What class are we going to do now?"

"More of the jazz- hip hop styled dance."

"My forte."

He high fives me and we step inside for another vigorous session of training.

AFTER THE LAST CLASS OF THE DAY…

"Those classes were hard!" I exclaimed as we left campus.

"I agree." Nagihiko said. "but its good practice for the competition!"

"That's true.."

The competition would be a million times harder than this! Who knows how skilled these people will be?!

"It was a great routine they showed us in the last period!" Nagi said as he started to list the various moves he thought we should do in the competition.

"I feel dead tired though.." To be honest I was seeing stars.

"Are you alright? Do you need me to-"

I fainted before I could hear the rest of what he was saying.

(some time later)

I woke up in a warm and unfamiliar bed. The sheets were warm and cozy, but cooly colored. The room itself was very tidy and huge to say the least. On one side was a bunch of trophies from various basketball games and dance competitions. On the wall right across from it, the one adjacent to the wall where the bed was up against, were framed pictures of family members and famous dancers and athletes.

"You woke up!"

I looked towards the door across the room and saw that Nagihiko was bringing in tea.

"Nagi?"

"You passed out.." He looked at me with a concerned face. "You should tell me if I'm over working you!"

Choice A: "I want to get better!"

Choice B: "It's fine!"

Choice C: "What's wrong with being over worked?"

Choice A Outcome:

"I want to get better!" I say confidently. "A little more work can't hurt!"

Work from this point would only get that much harder. Who was I to complain? Dancers all around the world must have been doing much more than me and still have energy left over.

"Amu.."

"I mean, I want to help you win!"

Nagihiko pulled in for a tight hug.

"Thank you!"

"I'm here for you, so count on me!"

"I promise I will..but,"

"What?"

He caressed my cheek, "Next time tell me when we're reaching your limit."

My heart beat quickened as his thumb rubbed my cheek.

"It's not good for your body to have to shut down like that."

"Y-Yes!" I say quickly.

"Eh, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!" I can't just tell him to stop touching me..it'd be too embarrassing.

"Well, Tsukasa-san knows you're here. Would you like to meet my family?"

"Eh..?"

Choice B Outcome:

I sat up and gave Nagihiko a gentle smile, "It's fine."

"But you haven't woken up for hours!"

"So? You can handle much worse and still have energy left over!" I say confidently. "I need to work to get to that level!"

"You don't have to work so hard.."

"Yes, I do!" I shoot back. "I have to help you win!"

"Winning, eh?" Nagi had a far away look on his face.

"Nagi?"

"Just tell me when you feel you're reaching your limit next time, ok?"

"Y-Yeah, alright."

"Good girl." He patted my head.

I couldn't help but notice the disappointment in his expression.

"Nagi, smile please?"

"Eh?"

"I like you best when you smile." I say.

"But that's.."

"Please?"

"I can't ever win with you." He chuckles and gives me his best smile. "That reminds me! Tsukasa-san knows you're here, so would you like to meet my family?"

"Eh..?"

Choice C Outcome:

"What's wrong with being a little over worked?" I say in a joking manner. "I bet you've done much worse!"

"Even so, it's not good for your body!"

"Nagi, don't worry about me!" I say. "You have to worry about the competition."

"But the competition-"

"You have to prove to your mother you're worth something in both departments, right?"

"Yeah." Nagi looked at me sullenly.

"I don't care what happens to me then!" I sat up straight. "I promised I would help you win and I will!"

"You sure are hard working." Nagi ruffled my hair.

"Meh.." I say and swat his hand away. "I should probably call-"

"Tsukasa-san already knows you're here." He handed me some tea.

"Thank you." I say and blow at the cup. "Was he worried?"

"About your health."

"Is that so…" Normally a guardian would be worried about the girl being alone at a guy's home.

"Is your family home?"

"Yeah, do you want to meet them?"

"Eh..?"

Continuation:

"Don't be nervous about it! They're pretty chill when they're around new people."

"What's your mother and sister like?"

"Well my sister is pretty violent when she wants to be."

"Your mother?"

"She's kinda like a kind empress."

"R-Really?"

"At least that's what everyone tells me."

"Oh.."

"Shall we go downstairs?"

"Wait, just a minute."

"Yes?"

"Are all these trophies yours?"

"Yeah." He wiped off some dust from the nearest trophy.

"You're really good." I say looking at all the national championship trophies he had.

"They're meaningless really." He says. "It's team effort. Not just me."

He didn't look humble at all as he said that. In fact, he looked bitter.

"Shall we go downstairs?"

"Sure."

"What does your mother do?" I ask as I straighten up his bed.

"She runs a dance school."

"I see…"

"What is it?"

"Why doesn't your mother want you to dance?"

"It's a family tradition to only have female dancers."

"That's not fair.."

"Well the world isn't fair 99% of the time anyway." He grins at me and takes my hand. "I think it's time to meet them."

Nagi led me down the stairs and into a large spacious room where a beautiful young girl dressed in a kimono was performing.

"Nagi!" An older woman who looked a great deal like Nagi called out.

The older woman was wearing a plum colored kimono and she had her hair pinned up in an elegant bun. Her eyes were a bit more yellow compared to Nagi's sand colored eyes, but I could see that they had the same gentle smile. The younger girl was dressed in a pink kimono and held a vibrant red fan. She had her raven colored hair in a thick pony tail and danced as graceful as a swan.

"Amu-chan, this is my mother." He gestured to the older woman and then to the younger girl. "This is Nadeshiko-neechan. My twin sister."

"Nice to meet you both!" I bowed to the two of them.

"What a beautiful young woman you brought home!" His mother commented.

"T-Thank you!"

"So this is Hinamori Amu." Nadeshiko asked, giving me an approving look.

"Yes, this is the dance partner I told you about!"

"I see." His mother didn't look so gentle anymore.

"Please allow me to continue being his partner!" I bowed lower.

"Mother, you can't just ignore her when she bows so politely." Nadeshiko said sweetly.

"Continue practicing." Was all his mother said.

"Yes, Mother." Nadeshiko bowed her own head and went back to dancing.

"Now, Hinamori-san, was it?" Her gaze was cold though she had a gentle smile on her face. "I don't care whether or not you are Nagihiko's partner, but don't distract him from basketball."

"Y-Yes, ma'am." I reply.

"Good girl."

"Amu-chan, I'll walk you home." Nagihiko glares at his mother and ushers me out the door.

"Y-yes."

I bowed to the two women again.

"It was nice to meet you."

Neither of them said a word.

Choice A: "Does your Mother hate me now?"

Choice B: "Your mother sure is cold!"

Choice A Outcome:

As soon as we were outside I asked, "Does your mother hate me now?"

Nagi chuckled, "No, she doesn't like that I recruited help."

"So it's not me?"

"Well it could be that too."

"So which is it?!"

Nagi pu his face close to mine, "She probably doesn't like you because she knows I want you to be mine."

"E-Eh?"

"But that's a topic for another time."

"Eh?!"

Nagi kept walking forward.

"Wait up!"

Was he serious?

"Hurry up!" Nagi yelled.

I ran up to him.

"Shall I walk you inside?"

Choice B Outcome:

"Your mother sure is cold!"

"I'm sure she is, but she really is a good woman."

"But to be so harsh about dancing.."

"She's the most passionate about it." He smirked and puts his arm around me.

"Then, I guess that passion runs in the family?"

"Could be."

"She doesn't seem to like me very much." I say with a small smile."

"She was practically going to throw us both out when I carried you here."

"You carried me here?!"

"How else would I do it? Dragging you would be quite cruel."

"I-I guess.."

Nagi takes my hand and brings it to his lips.

"N-Nagi!"

"What?" He pecked my hand and let it go.

"N-Nothing!"

"Shall I walk you inside?"

Continuation:

"Maybe you can stay for dinner?" I offered.

"Well sure! If you know," He looks at me sheepishly. "If Tsukasa-san lets me stay."

"I'm sure he will."

"Hey, Amu?"

"Yeah?" I turned around to look at Nagi.

"Nevermind, maybe next time." He said quietly.

I walked back to Nagi and took his hands in mine.

"Why are you acting weird? Come on, let's go inside!"

Nagi let me lead him inside and we saw Tsukasa waiting at the front entrance.

"I'm glad that you made it home safe, Amu-chan."

"Tsukasa-san." I bowed to him. "Sorry if I worried you."

"It's fine, Amu-chan." Tsukasa smiled. "I'm glad that Nagihiko-kun called."

"Yeah." Nagi laughed awkwardly.

"Can he stay for dinner?"

"Of course you can stay, Nagihiko-kun!" Tsukasa looked perplexed. "Why do you even have to ask?"

"It'd be rude to just stick around without permission."

"Well mannered as always. Is your mother still prepping you?"

"Of course."

"You'll become a good husband one day." Tsukasa said. "Well, hurry inside! The maids are starting dinner."

We went inside and took off our shoes.

"God, I feel awkward." Nagi murmurs.

"Why?"

"Because I'm not coming here as a friend and Tsukasa-san knows that."

"Eh, not as a friend?"

"You sure are slow." Nagi shook his head at me.

(After dinner)

"I'm sure we'll have a lot to discuss in the future." Tsukasa said to Nagi.

"I agree entirely." Nagi said and bowed to him.

"She's in your hands now."

"I know."

"Eh?"

"Nothing." Tsukasa said.

"Something for another time." Then Nagi remembered something. "Hey! You're coming with me to my next basketball tournment, got it?"

"When is it?"

"Tomorrow. better pack some stuff it's all day, all night kind of thing."

"I'll make sure she packs." Tsukasa said and ushered me inside.

Tsukasa led me to my room and told me to pack the needed things.

"Make sure to root Nagihiko-kun on,alright?"

"No problems there!"

"Haha, good. Get some sleep you'll need it!" Tsukasa teased me.

I packed two sets of clothes and some pjs. A few womanly supplies and a make up pouch. Should I make a bento for the trip in the morning? Was it really ok to skip school so soon? I went to bed dreaming of the trip to come….

GAHHHH. I am soo sorry for the lateness of the update. Everything has been piling up on me because school is approaching DX I have registration on Thrusday DX Entering high school is scary. UPDATES WILL BE REALLY SLOW STARTING AUGUST 2
