A/N: Sorry if this is a bit of a late update. My Internet went down for a while {3 days} and it just now started working.. Sooo.. Yeah. XDD

"Rima!" KusuKusu said as Rima's alarm clock went off. "It's time for school!"

Rima grunted. She didn't want to get up. Mostly because she'd have to watch Amu draping all over Nagihiko. Truthfully, it made her feel a little... Unwell. Watching her best friend and the cross-dresser.

After much coaxing, Rima was finally talked out of bed. She got her mom to give her a ride. She didn't think they had noticed she left yesterday.

Almost as soon as she stepped out of the vehicle, she saw Nagihiko and Amu.. Err.. Nadeshiko and Amu.

Rima tried to make it past them unnoticed, but instead Amu halted her.

"Rima!" She offered a bright smile. "What happened to you yesterday?"

Rima was a bit shocked she had noticed.

"U-Ummm.."

Nagihiko gave her a worried look.

"I had to go," Rima said finally, sighing softly.

"Oh, that sucks," Amu frowned.

After first period, Nagihiko sat beside Rima and looked at her seriously.

"Okay, what really happened to you yesterday, Rima-chan?" Nagihiko asked. She could still hear the kindness in his voice, even though he wasn't talking like usual. The concern was easiest to hear.

"Did you not hear me the first time?" Rima said. "I told you I had to go."

"You shouldn't lie," Nagihiko smirked.

Rima swore if anybody saw that smirk, they could tell that it was really Nagihiko.

"Be quiet!" Rima glared at him. "You don't know anything. You can't relate to me in any way."

"Sure I can," Nagihiko said hopefully. "I was once a new Guardian. After I left for a while, I came back as the new Jack. That counts, right?"

Rima gritted her teeth.

Throughout the rest of the day, Nagihiko tried his best to stay with Rima, but Amu kept coming and talking to him. She was very clingy.

Rima tried her best to stay away from both of them. They were loud, not to mention annoying.

When Amu finally had to go home, Nagihiko caught up with Rima. "Why do you keep leaving me?!" He asked, a bit frusterated.

Rima snapped. "WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP YOU STUPID CROSS DRESSER!" She screamed, not caring if anyone heard. "I DON'T LIKE HOW YOU'RE STEALING AMU AWAY FROM ME. I DON'T LIKE YOU HANGING AROUND ME. I DON'T LIKE YOU! I... I.. I HATE YOU!"

Nagihiko felt a sharp pain run through him. "S-Seriously.."

"YES. JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Rima said, looking hard at the ground. Her face was red from screaming, and her throat was sore.

Nagihiko lowered his head and began walking away. He turned a corner and continued walking.

Rima stared at the corner he had turned.

"Rima..." KusuKusu whispered.

"Just shut up," Rima said coldly as she made it back to her house.

A/N: I know it was short, but I'll try to update sooner! ^^ Until then, R&R!
