Chapter 9: Guardians!?
Rima's POV:
Flashback:
"Tsukasa, we need help." Amu said with a lot of courage
End of Flashback.
I sighed. Way to be blunt. "I knew you were coming, but this is faster than expected." He said referring to those stupid cards of his. "Easter infiltrated Rima's island resort.
We barely escaped and Nagihiko got shot, and Rima fainted! We need to do
something!" Utau yelled. Everyone was quite and the air was still. Tsukasa smiled at us and began speaking. "welcome, Summer
Guardians!" he yelled. "WHAT!?" we all yelled. "Since Easter is back we need guardians." Simply he said. Ikuto smirked. "But there aren't enough positions for ALL of us to be guardians." That loser. Tsukasa
smiled even bigger. "
Well actually I have made new positions so all of you CAN be guardians!" Great, just great. That's just what I needed, to be a guardian again. I heard everyone sigh.
Tadase's POV:
Yay! Guardians again!"
Utau's POV:
Eh. Could be worse.
Kukai's POV:
Well if I'm with Utau I guess it's okay….
Kairi's POV:
THAT *****!
Rima's POV:
OHHH GREAT! "Well I guess I'll tell you guys your positions now. Tadagay is King. Amu is Joker. Rima is Queen. Nagihiko is
Jack. Yaya is Ace. Kairi is Hearts. Kukai is clovers. Ikuto is spades. Utau is Hearts. And you
guys get capes!" NOOOOOOO! Tadase's gay uncle passed
out capes, which he pulled out from behind his back, weird. The only good thing out of this is being with Nagi- I mean A-Amu. Hehe. Amu didn't get a
cape because she wouldn't wear it anyways. Boys got green plaid and girls got purple plaid. At least we don't
have skewl uniforms too. "Easter will be back, I guarantee it. Soon too. We need to prepare for
what's gonna happen. I also saw they have improved. Their weapons are stronger as are there methods. We need to be ready.
" If that's it I think we can handle this." I said. I mean of course we can. We took
down Easter before, surely we can do it again. We've gotten stronger over the years. Tsukasa lowered his head a bit. " But they're not after the embryo anymore." What! That make no sense. "Then what the hell
do they want!?" I yelled at him. Hopefully this will get us somewhere. His bangs now covered his eyes as he opened his mouth.
"To kill you all." He whispered. I shuttered and froze. To k-kill……us. I heard him
whisper something else. He said something like, "But you, Rima,
might die before they get to you." I'm pretty sure no one else heard, and what is he talking about. My health is fine and the only person after me is
the Easter corporation. "What are you talking about." I asked him. Everyone looked at me. I heard Tsukasa mutter crap. I'm very positive I wasn't supposed to hear what I heard. " I can't tell you." he said barely
above a whisper. I was getting impatient. "whaddya mean you can't tell me!?" now everyone was staring and weren't talking. Tsukasa quickly
lifted his head and looked me straight in the eyes. He gestured for
me to come to him. I did as told and he whispered in my ear. "Are you sure you wanna know." I nodded my head.
I just had to know what he was talking about. I stepped back a couple of steps. "Rima, while you
were gone your parents arguing got……out of control. Your father took a knife out on your mother. She's d-dead and your father is looking for you. But not for a good reason. " all life drained from my body. It
looked like Tsukasa was going to say something else but he stopped himself. My father k-killed m-my mo-mother. And he wants to k-kill m-me. Everything turned white as my not so friendly death guy clouded in.
"see. No one likes you Rima. Your father wants you dead and so does Easter. And you're getting strange headaches, what a coincidence.
" He was right. I was meant to die. No one in this world will miss me. I'm
just a bother. A cold hearted, bother. Tears slid down my cheek.
My mother's dead and its all my fault! And now there are people out to friggin' get me! I need to go to hospital for those headaches when no one's
around. Maybe then I'll find out if something's wrong with me health wise too. God, I should
just kill myself already. An idea spring in my noodle. Maybe I should kill myself, I mean to get it over with. People want
me dead and no one will even miss me. Yeah. Yeah. I guess when no one is around I'm gonna commit s-suicide. I laid sprawled out on the white floor as the death guy laughed maniacally. Salty, wet, tears filled
my face. "I can't wait to die." I whispered, going into a slumber.
Nagihiko's POV:
Rima had fainted after Tsukasa told her her dad was after her. I feel so bad for
her. She now lay in my arms as the others asked Tsukasa questions. She kept whispering things like "die" and "commit". I wonder
what she's thinking. I hope to god she doesn't do anything stupid though. I shuttered at the thought of Rima killing herself. I couldn't live without her. I'd die if she left. I need her. Her eyes fluttered open slowly
as she checked her surroundings. After that she winced as she clutched her head. "Rima, what's wrong!" I yelled. Everyone heard me and crowded around. She tossed and turned as she kept her hands on her
head. "We need to get to a hospital, now." "NO!" She cried out. "Rima you have to!" I argued back. "No…no." she sobbed. I loosened up and nodded. Temari floated up to me. "But Nagi…" she trailed off. I
nodded to her it was ok. If Rima wants to do this I guess I can't stop her. I mean it's only a headache….right? she cuddled in
my arms as tears escaped her eyes. I can't bear to watch her hurt and not do
anything. I closed my eyes and held her tight. About an hour or so later she stopped
holding her head and looked up.
Using my hand I gently pushed some of her blonde hair out of her face. She looked at me and
the only thing I saw in her amber eyes was pain. Pain and nothing. I really hope she's doing alright. Sigh. She got up and just stood there. About 3 minutes later she just ran out of the planetarium. Yup, just ran
out. I had to take in everything that happened first and then I ran after her. "Rima!" I yelled. With her small legs she couldn't be too far. But, I forgot Rhythm so it'll be harder to find her, but not too hard. "Rima!"
I yelled again as I continued to run around. Gosh, where the hell is she! I stopped for I second to think. If I was a small chibi devil where would I be…………………..i got it!
Rima's POV:
I kept running and running straight ahead, surprised I didn't run into something yet. I stopped after about maybe
12 minutes of running and looked at where I am. I'm……home? I was stopped right in front of the
driveway, but not quite on the driveway yet. Part of me wanted to stay put, parted of me wanted to run away and cry, and part of me wanted to go in. choosing my first instinct I walked cautiously towards the
door. I peered in the windows, which were open. There was no furniture in the house and some
tape on the ground in the shape of a….b-body. No. this can't be happening. For like the millionth time today I
started to cry. My hand slowly crept up, reaching for the silver know
on the white door. AHHHHHHH! I heard a scream but, it wasn't like in real life. It was coming from….me. but not the inside of me, the outside.
Why? I didn't feel any pain right now. A pair of arms grabbed me from behind and pulled me back. I froze up like I did when Nagihiko grabbed me. Yeah it's probably just Nagi. I hope. I turned my head as slow as
a turtle. When I saw the face I let out a shriek. "What's the matter Rima, it's only me. What scared because that boy
isn't here to save you." He said emphasizing the word boy. I was really frightened now. My
father held me with a knife to my neck. "Rima!" Nagihiko yelled. My father swerved around, causing me a lot of pain. "AHHHH!" I yelled. When he saw my father and the knife to my neck he stood still. " See Rima,
that boy doesn't care about you, no one does. And you know what else, besides the fact your gonna die today
is that it's your fault your mother is dead." He was right. I stopped struggling and lowered my head
so my bangs covered my eyes. "Don't you dare touch her!" Nagihiko yelled. There's no point in trying
was what I wanted to scream right now. My father chuckled. "Too late for that son." he laughed. "Just kill me
now." I whispered. My father stopped his evil laughing and looked at me with a smirk across his face. "See Rima, that's the spirit." He said lifting up the knife, about to bring it down on me. "Noooooo!" my purple
haired not for long boyfriend yelled. I closed my eyes awaiting my death. I was jerked back as I heard my dad scream. I opened my eyes to see my father running away and Nagihiko sitting up panting. No blood
on him. Did he push him out of the way for me. "Why?" I asked him quietly. He looked up at me and smiled. "Because I love you." Was his reply
before he fainted and fell over, landing in my lap. I guess there is
something worth living for. "I love you too." I smiled. Even if he couldn't hear it it was enough
just telling him. I brushed some of his long hair out of his eyes and kissed his cheek. "Rima…." He whispered in his
sleep. Thank you Nagihiko. I slipped my phone out of my pocket and dialed Amu's number. I put the phone to my ear to only hear ringing. "Rima! WHERE ARE YOU!?" My overprotective friend yelled over the phone.
"I'm fine, in front of my house with Nagi. He….passed out from running to me." I lied through my teeth. "Alright were coming
to get you, just stay put." She said to me. I sighed and told her ok. I hung my purple
phone up and put it back in my blue jean pocket. If there isn't anything in the house I need clothes, and…a place to stay. I can ask Amu, but there's Ikuto who comes over, and Yaya has the baby. Utau, Kairi,
Kukai, and Tadase are a no and that leaves…..great, Nagi. I let out a breath. I'll ask him when
he wakes up. I hope I can, but knowing Nagi I probably can. I thought about what my father said. Was it really my
fault mom was gone? I trailed off in my thoughts. About a minute or two later amu and the others ran up to us panting. "What the HELL were you thinking!?" Kairi yelled at me. Yaya punched Kairi in the
arm."That's not nice Kairi-koi." he blushed and shut up. I smirked and snickered. Kukai and Ikuto came up to me and
helped the unconscious Nagihiko up while Amu and Utau helped me up. "Thanks." I said. Ikuto
sighed. Imp guessing he overheard me. I got an idea. I grin crept onto my face. "So Yaya are you and Kairi a couple." Oh my gawd, you should've seen their faces. Let me tell you they were r.e.d. best (sorta) day
of my life. "Um lets go to the royal garden. We need to talk.
" Utau said. "Yeah." Kukai agreed. We started walking towards the school where the royal garden was held. Nagihiko was being carried by Ikuto.
Surprised he hasn't fallen over yet. I chuckled. Everyone was quite and Tadase skipped. The silence was
broken when he fell well actually tripped over a crack but, he fell on his face. I stared at me for a moment
before cracking up. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOUR SUCH A LOSER!" I laughed. "Ow, I broke a nail!" Tadase yelled out after getting up. Hahahaha! "You're a gay guy- hahaha -who friggin '-haha – broke a nail!" Kairi
squeaked. It really was a squeak because he was laughing too much. "Dude, be a man." Kukai and Ikuto
said at the same time sounding embarrassed for Tadase to be of the same species. Heck I am a girl and
I'm embarrassed too because we girls don't do that brake a
nail crap. "Tadase-chi, I'll help you up." Yaya said reaching for his hand. She pulled him up easily and we continued to walk. Tadase was flushing
frantically about the nail thing and everyone else but me and Nagihiko(unconscious) were talking. I just looked at the sidewalk I was
walking on. As we walked I found a rock and I'm now kicking it down the hill
with me. Everyone in front of me stopped as I bumped into Amu. "S-sorry." Hehe. I'm a loser. "It's ok." I noticed we had reached the royal garden but we hadn't gone in yet. I looked up and walked past the
others who were gazing at some snail or something. I opened the beautiful blue glass door to see a
vandalized garden. I let out a faint gasp. What happened. Plants and flower pots and soil was thrown all over
the floor, the glass walls were sprayed painted black and said "Die Guardians!", the chairs were knocked over, and lastly the amazing
water fountain in the center was filled with red water. I dropped to my knees
as I looked around at the mess. I crawled slowly to the water fountain and touched the water fountain's water. It wasn't b-blood. It was red food coloring in the water. My jeans were bow dirty from crawling on
the soiled infested floor. I didn't care though. This is much more important than my jeans. I'm surprised I haven't started crying yet. I guess I ran out of tears. "The garden…." Amu said stunned. Finally someone
speaks. Yaya started bawling." A-Amu-chi, Rima-chi, w-what h-happened!" she sobbed. Ow her crying is loud.
Am I this annoying when I cry. Amu came to her side and rubbed her back and shushed her. Saying
things like it's ok. And everything's gonna be alright, but it wasn't. I'm not sure how we can fix this. I glanced at the table which wasn't knocked over and noticed a piece of paper on it. My heart keeps telling me
to go to it but I'm not sure. Well i didn't really have much of a choice because my feet just
got up on its own and started instantly walking toward the white piece of paper. It felt like forever till I reached the table.
My trembling fingers picked up the paper and unfolded it twice so I could read the black ink. It said:
Rima,
I know you are the one who reads this so here goes. If you turn yourself in to me than I won't kill your friends, but instead you. Yes, this is your father Rima and don't try to run because I will find you. You and your little
friends are so predictable. So all you have to do is come back to the house and go into your room where I will wait. You have 2 weeks to come. After that I will kill all of your friends, starting with Nagihiko I believe it was and
I'm working with Easter so don't try anything stupid. And whatever you do don't let them know about this and do not let your little boyfriend get in my way again.
_You should Know
I trembled even more now as I finished reading the he wants me dead, huh. Figures. I crumpled the paper into a ball and slid it into my shirt pocket. I turned around and saw everyone trying to clean up
what they could of the royal garden. I frowned. Eventually these times will be gone. I noticed Nagihiko was sitting in a chair thinking deeply.
So he's awake. Without thinking I walked over to him. Instantly he
looked up at me and smiled a weak smile. What is he thinking about. Out of the corner of my eye a black shadow ran across the room. The hell! I spun around to see my good old friend Grim standing there, I
guess Grim is my name for the reaper dude. Grim put a boney hand on my shoulder. He let one laugh escape his lips before vanishing. I shivered. "Rima!" Nagihiko yelled. I didn't realize he was calling my name.
Oh and i still have to ask him about staying with hi. i'll ask him later.
"Sorry didn't hear you. " I apologized. "Do you know anything about the grim reaper. While I was unconscious I saw him and he kept
saying things like she's gone! She's gone!. Does it ring a bell." He asked me.
More than a bell actually. I wonder what Grim meant by she's gone…I don't know. Could he be talking about me? I looked Nagihiko in the eyes and shook my head no. he said thanks and I walked away to the
fountain again. I sat down in front of it and thought. Ok first Easter and my dad wanting me dead, then the headaches, then the she's gone thing. Well f your dead your gone from the world. Okay I'm getting
somewhere here. So if so many people want me dead and Grim was telling Nagihiko about me being gone than, I could be dying in the future.
Maybe that is the future! But what about the headaches. That still
doesn't fit in…….I got it!
StarWater11: Yes! Done, oh and happy late April Fool's!
Rima: Bahumbug
StarWater11: Actually Rima that's Christmas.
Rima: Whatever. R&R So she can continue.
StarWater11: I want at least a total of 27 reviews before I continue. Hehe
Rima: Greedy.
