A/N: Hey peoples~ Thanks for the reviews. Be sure not to get Nagihiko and Nadeshiko confused, lol. X'D
Rima had ran into Nagihiko, er.. Nadeshiko on her way to school. She made a disgusted face at Nagihiko.
"I look hot, huh?" Nagihiko said, flipping his long pony-tail.
Rima kept a straight face. "You look very pretty."
KusuKusu giggled also. "Nagi's very very pretty! Kehehehehe!"
Rhythm looked at Nagihiko and sweatdropped. "N-Nagi..."
"Nadeshiko," Nagihiko corrected in his Nadeshiko voice.
"RHYTHM! GET BACK INTO YOUR GOD DAMN EGG," Temari commanded, furious.
Rhythm cringed and quickly got back into his egg.
"I bet Amu's already waiting for you..." Rima said darkly. "Cross-dresser.."
That was like, the millionth time Rima had called him that. "Rima-chan, I can't help it if Amu-chan likes Nadeshiko better than Nagihiko. By the way, I got the same schedule as Nagihiko, so it won't be any different."
"Yes you can help it, if you would just tell her the truth, none of this would even be happening. You wouldn't have to pretend around her any more," Rima reminded him.
It sounded nice, but Nagihiko got rid of the thought. "No. Not yet."
Amu pretty much tackle-glomped Nagihiko as they came in. "NADESHIKO! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!"
"Amu-chan~ It's nice to see you again," Nagihiko continued to speak in his girly voice, beaming at her.
Amu and Nagihiko started talking non-stop, which didn't seem to bother Tadase, but really began to irk Rima.
"SHUT UP!" Rima said suddenly.
Nagihiko and Amu both looked at her curiously. "Huh?"
"Err.. I mean.. Uh.. We go to the Royal Garden after school, right?" She asked the most sensible question she could think of.
"Umm.. Yeah," Amu said, still looking at Rima like she was a maniac.
After they made it through their first class, Rima and Nagihiko were walking together to their next.
Nagihiko laughed at her. "I can't believe you shouted at us like that."
"S-Shut up.. It's not funny..." She said, biting her tongue to keep from saying anything else.
"What? Of course it is. I can't believe you hate me that much," Nagihiko said, pretending to sulk.
Rima twitched. "Be quiet. You two wouldn't stop talking, so...."
"So what?"
"Never mind."
"No, tell me."
"You don't need to know."
"Yeah, I do."
Rima was silent after this so she wouldn't provoke anything.
"Oh, I think I get it," Nagihiko smiled. "You're jealous."
"Why would I be jealous?" Rima asked quickly.
"You don't like how Amu likes me better than you," Nagihiko said cleverly.
This hit a nerve. She was going to fake cry, but that didn't seem to work on Nagihiko. "Damn you.."
"Excuse me?" Nagihiko scoffed.
"I'm not talking to you!" Rima said immaturely and ran into her next class.
Nagihiko sweatdropped and followed her.
Through the whole class, Nagihiko would catch Rima glaring at him. She seemed really pissed. He made a note to himself not to make girls mad, especially since Rima could possibly blackmail him.
When school finally ended, Amu clinged to Nagihiko's arm.
"Nadeshiko, there you are! We have so much to catch up on!" She said, smiling happily.
"Ah, Amu-chan. I know. We can talk at the Royal Garden," Nagihiko said, also smiling.
Tadase felt a bit awkward, being the only real boy at the time.
A dark aura surrounded Rima as she walked.
"NADESHIKO!" Yaya screamed as they all arrived. "Yaya missed you!" She hugged Nadeshiko along with Amu.
"I didn't know I was missed this much," Nagihiko said, giggling.
"Well of course you were missed!" Amu spoke. "You were only the best Queen ever!"
Rima jerked her head up and looked at Amu.
Amu didn't seem to notice and laughed along with Yaya.
"Best Queen, huh?" Rima repeated quietly, questioning herself.
Nagihiko looked back at Rima, knowing what Amu said had offended her.
"R-Really? I was the best Queen? What about Rima-chan?" Nagihiko said, gesturing to Rima.
"Oh, um.. She was great, too!" Amu said, smiling nervously at Rima.
Rima began to feel very awkward and out of place. She was the only new Guardian back at Seiyo, except for Kairi, but he wasn't even there any more. She looked down, trying not to show signs of sadness.
As they continued talking, Rima slipped away secretly.
"Rima! What are you doing?" KusuKusu asked her.
"Leaving," Rima answered simply.
"No!" KusuKusu flailed. "You were once a Guardian too, 'ya know!"
"Yes, but I feel unwanted there," Rima said, her voice almost cracking. She started heading off towards her house. Holding back tears was difficult, but she managed to hold them in.
KusuKusu followed her, but was trying to get her to turn back before they realized she was missing.
When Rima got home, she hurried up to room and threw herself down on her bed. "Stupid Nagihiko...." She said harshly. "Stupid Amu-" Rima gasped silently when she realized what she said. "A-Amu's not stupid..."
KusuKusu also gasped. "Rima!"
Rima couldn't believe what she had said. Amu was her best friend. She could never be mad at her! She felt a mix of jealousy and anger.
After the feelings got too exasperating, Rima finally let out her tears. She didn't think the others would notice if she were gone.
A/N: Rimmaaa-tannn. D= Don't forget to review or else I'll send my flying minions after you. X3 Be afraid. Be very afraid. xDD
