Summary: Rima had never cared for Algebra, she found it pointless and stupid. Now that she's failing, Rima must be tutored during summer time. One problem, Rima's tutor is the one person who she never liked to begin with, Nagihiko. DRABBLE FIC

"Dense"
"It's quite simple actually," Rima sighed, glancing at her nails boredly. "I had a Shugo Chara - we all did - Yamabuki. Besides, she's floating right beside you."
"...How'd we miss that?" Nagihiko muttered sheepishly. "She's a lot more perceptive than we thought."
"I'm insulted," the blond-haired teenager commented, feigning hurt. "Who do you think I am? Amu? ("Hey!" shouted the former Joker.) Please, I'm not that dense, no offense. ("I am not! Am I dense, Ikuto?" "...No?" "What does that mean?")"
"You can drop the other illusion, Maya-chan," sighed Saaya. "Mashiro Rima has found us out."
Rima dropped her jaw, "Kirishima-san?"

"Steps"
"...Hello Mashiro-san," he muttered quietly, eyes downcast. "...Everyone."
Rima was still staring at her ex-boyfriend with shock, why would he work with Yamabuki?
"Hello? Earth to Rima-chan!" Nagihiko waved his hand in front of his face. "You in there?"
"Get your hand out of my face, Nag-Fujisaki!" she hissed. Rima flushed ever so slightly, had anyone else noticed her slip up? By the look on Ikuto's face, he had.
"Kirishima-san," Amu said softly. "Why did you go along with Saaya's scheme?"
Kirishima mumbled quietly under his breath, his voice barely audible.
"Say that again?"
"She's my step-sister," he admitted quietly.

"Related?"
"Step-," Yaya gaped.
"-sister?" Amu finished. "You and Saaya are related?"
"By law, of course," Saaya sniffed. "Father met the widowed Kirishima-san after Mother passed away last year and then they fell in love."
"No wonder you've been acting so strange lately," Nagihiko commented.
"Yeah, why would you want to be the crossdresser?" Ikuto added.
"I swear, if you don't shut up, I will go all Temari on your cosplaying ass."
Silence fell upon the cafe as Nagihiko and Ikuto glowered at each other. Ikuto held his gaze before Rima kicked him in the shin, "Ow! What the hell, Shrimp?"
