Chapter 13: Seeing

Rima's POV:

Flashback

Wait, I think I see it…….

End of Flashback

I observed a red gem on the microphone. It was really small and placed in the center of the mike. Without thinking I stood up and walked over to the gem. I don't think anyone else could see it, it was so small.

The scarlet colored gem twinkled and glimmered under the stage lights. A couple people stared at me to watch what I was doing, others eating there meal and talking with one another. I reached my hand out

slowly to touch the valuable item. My hand, only inches away from touching the gem, started to glow a bit. The closer

I got to touching the gem, the more my hand and the gem glowed. What is this? I heard

people behind me whispering things. I think the guardians are watching me too, uh oh. I touched the gem with my pointer finger and my whole body was surrounded and devoured by a bright red light. The

scarlet gem floated up in the air and my two chara eggs also floated out from my pocket. All 3 items and myself glowed. I was a little bit frightened. "Is that Rima?" Kukai asked. "Mashiro-san?" Tadase questioned.

"I believe it is her. "Kairi stated. "Rima?" Nagihiko trailed off. I could sense

foot steps behind me from some person. "Grab the gem…." Something in my head whispered. With my left hand I grabbed my chara

eggs and with my right, the gem. As soon as my hand encountered the gem I was thrown back and the glowing stopped. I was thrown across the room and hit the wall with a huge force, but I didn't feel

anything. I held the gem in my right hand with a tight grip and I felt all my pain, my bruises and gash, go away. Everyone in the room stared at me now wondering what just happened. Without being noticed I

tucked the gem in my back pocket and KusuKusu and Corona flew out of their eggs. But they look different.

Like they're eye color looked somewhat crimson colored and they're clothes looked a little darker, to

conclude they're odd looking selves, they're skin was pale. Not super pale, but a little whiter than normal. My glasses have fallen off and my pony tail came out of my hair. The guardians rushed to my side in

disbelief. I was shocked and stood up. "Violet….." I whispered. "Rima! What just happened!? Are you alright!? What were you thinking!?" Utau and Amu yelled simultaneously. "Who's Violet?" Nagihiko asked. I

skipped Amu and Utau's questions and faced Nagihiko. "I….don't know" I lied through my teeth. "Rima-chan, I don't feel so good."

KusuKusu said, holding her stomach. She looked normal again as did Corona.

Corona clutched her head. "Rima…." She trailed off. I put my hand out and my charas floated into it and lay down. I observed them carefully, I wonder what's wrong? The two charas closed their eyes and drifted

off to sleep. I tucked them in their eggs and put them in my pocket. "What was that!" Kukai yelled. I shook my head, unsure. (A/N: This story is so sad, I need to make it more happy.) "The. Heck."Ikuto

growled. Gosh, no one understands anything! I was starting to get mad as the group rambled on and argued about god knows what. "I can't do this!" I screeched, storming out of the restaurant. "Rima, wait!"

Amu yelled, running after me. I dashed all the way to

the park and went to a nearby tree. I let out a deep breath and then sat down below the shade of the old oak tree. No one ever understands. I'm going

through so much right now. I need to just calm down. A gust of wind blew, moving some of my hair around. A pink flower petal floated down and landed on my lap. I smiled and picked it up gently. The sun's rays

shun brighter and it was getting warm out. I looked out into the clear blue sky and saw many white balls of fluff in the air above. It was a beautiful day. "Rima! There you are." Amu panted. She ran up to the tree

and put her hands on her knees. She looked at me and grinned. "I'm sorry I took off like that. How about we go swimming or something, with the others." I apologized. She stood up straight and tall and gave

me a thumbs up. "Sounds good! C'mon!" she yelled, grabbing my hand and

racing back to the restaurant. I giggled at the hyperness she had. Reminds me of Yaya. Speaking of Yaya where has she been. "Amu,

where is Yaya at?" I asked her. She stopped running for a moment to answer. "She is with her mom. She misses her and Tsubasa so she wanted to go home for a while." We started walking back. So she wanted

to go see her family. How ironic, that is exactly what I wanna do with my mom, go see her. We reached the restaurant and everyone was waiting outside. Once they spotted us Tadase waved. We neared the

group. "Sorry I ran off like that." I said. "You are forgiven. Sorry we went off on you too." Kairi announced. "You guys wanna go swimming or something?" I questioned. Utau looked at Kukai who looked at Ikuto

who looked at Kairi who- ok I think you get it. "Sure." They all replied. "Should we go get Yaya or…" I trailed off. Kairi shook his head. "Yuiki-san wants to stay with her family for a while." Tadase politely said. I

nodded. "We'll all go home and change and meet up at the pool." Nadeshiko declared. "Sounds cool man." Rhythm replied. Everyone went their separate ways except for me, Nagihiko, and Nadeshiko. Of course

though because we sort of live together.

Ikuto's POV:

I started walking home to go change into a swim suit. I'm very surprised that nothing from Easter has happened yet. Then again Easter is Easter, you never know what they have up their sleeves. I wonder how

Hikaru and Rikka are? Since Hikaru does own Easter, I wonder why he is after us though. I remember when he was good and got his heart's egg. Then there is Rikka. Rikka was Hikaru's best friend who also liked

Hikaru. They both like each other and I don't see why they don't just admit it and go have some happy life together. The only bad thing is that Rikka hates how Hikaru likes hurting others and making them suffer.

Alas Hikaru won't listen to Rikka about those things. I should pay him a visit soon. Hopefully he won't try to kill me this time. But then again he probably would because that's what Tadase's gay uncle said. But

also Hikaru is my cousin. Sort of. Since his grandfather forcefully married my mom than I think we are considered cousins. Confusing stuff. I reached my apartment and walked up the stairs, to the door. I went to

the plant off to the side and took the key from inside

of it. Slipping the key in the hole I unlocked the door and went in. the moment I opened the door I was appalled. Everything, it's all gone. The furniture, not

that I had a lot, was all gone. I ran up to the fridge and opened up the door. The food is gone to. I checked the bathroom next. Nothing. No tooth brush or even something like toilet paper was seen. The last

place I could check was my room. I walked in the open room and only one thing remained. My violin in its cad lay motionless on the floor in the center of the room. Nothing else was there. The closets were empty

and so were the drawers. I growled. "Easter." I muttered. I took my cell phone out of my pocket and called up Utau. I need to know if her apartment is clean to. Everyone else lived with their parents so Easter

wouldn't bother going there. The phone rang as I await for my sister to pick up.

Ring .Ring.

-Moshi Moshi, Ikuto?

Utau, are you home yet?

-No, I'm just about to enter my apartment, why?

Easter has cleaned out my apartment of everything except my violin.

-Oh my god. I just got in my house. It's empty.

Check your room, that's where they left my violin, maybe they left something of yours too.

-Um, the only thing left in my room is a note. Hold on its stuck to the wall. Let me read it.

What does it say?

-Here it is. It says Utau, be aware that we are watching all of you. By the time you read this note we will have taken away all of yours and Ikuto's items. We are stronger and I hope you are ready because we will attack

when you least expect it. From Hikaru, your evil cousin.

Is that all?

-Well at the bottom it says P.S Rikka did not approve of this, love Rikka.

Go figure. Should we tell the others?

-Yeah. Since I'm practically rich I can always get more stuff and you too so let's go to the pool and warn the others. Then we can all go to the planetarium and ask Tsukasa for help. Got it?

Sure. I'll meet you at the pool. Bye.

-Bye.-Click.

I hung up the phone and sighed. Of course my sister is rich. Well, better get going. "Ikuto-nya, let's go." Yoru announced. I nodded and began walking.

Nagihiko's POV

Rima, Nadeshiko and arrived at the house. Which Rima swears is a mansion. Sure it is Rima, sure it is. "Nadeshiko, do you have a bathing suit I could borrow too?" Rima asked sweetly. Nadeshiko smirked but

quickly hid it and nodded rapidly. "Of course I do, Rima." She evilly said.

What does she have in store for Rima? "Rima, you go with Nadeshiko and I'll go to my room to change." I announced. "Okay. Don't come in

though." I chuckled at her stupidity. Even though it was cute. "Okay Rima I won't."I joked. I ran up the stairs to my room and went straight to my desk. I opened up a drawer and pulled out an iTouch. Grabbing

the speakers to it I set it on the desk and connected the iTouch to the speakers, turning on my iPod. Scrolling up quickly with my thumb I hit the shuffle button and walked to my closet. Soon the song Say Aah by

Tray Songz filled the room. (A/N: You like have to listen to this song while you read this! And don't own) I laughed inwardly at the song. I have such great taste in music sometimes. At least no Beethoven or

stuff like that came on. My mom made me download some Beethoven when I did a report on him because she thought I would get in touch

with my 'inner Beethoven'. I grabbed a swimsuit from my rack and threw

my jeans off. i pulled my shirt off and started imitating singing the song. I was now only in my boxers and was jumping up and down, using my hands to act all gangster or whatever and was lip singing the song.

"And we don't buy no drinks at the bar. We pop champagne cause we got that dough. Let me hear you say aah. If you want me say aah." I sang part of the amazing song. I heard some giggling from behind.

"Aah." I heard Rima giggle. I turned around flushing red and grabbed a nearby pillow, holding it up on my body. Nadeshiko burst into a million bits of laughter. Rima squeezed her stomach and with one hand

wiped the brims of her eyes. "Did you-haha- get that all on-hahaha- camera Nadeshiko." Rima laughed violently. "Yup! All of it!" They exchanged high fives and my eyes widened. "A-all of it." I stuttered. My left

eye twitched in horror. "C'mon Rima, let's go change

now." Nadeshiko said more calmly this time. Rima nodded and followed her out the door and across the hall. "Wait!" I yelled. They trailed back in with their

hands on their hips. "Yes?" Nadeshiko asked. "Why were you in here?" I asked them as the song changed to Party in the U.S.A by Miley Cyrus. I blushed and dashed over to the iPod, switching the song to 1 2

Step by Ciara. They chuckled when I came back. "We were going to ask if you had some pocky, but I don't really

want any anymore. You Rima?" she asked. Rima shook her head and smiled. "By the way, we have

black mail so don't even think about being mean to us or pulling anything, and you will obey our every need unless you want this on YouTube." Rima declared. I sweat dropped and sighed. "Fine." I replied. "And

remember, ANYTHING we want WHENEVER we want." Nadeshiko reminded. I nodded and shoved them out the door, closing it and securing it by locking it. I went back to my bed where my bathing suit was and

got into it. It was like 6:30 pm now. That sure was quick. This day was really short. I turned off my iPod and stuffed it in my pocket, along with my phone. "Temari, Rhythm, you done! Time to go!" I shouted. Out

from a little doll house known as their home came 2 charas in colorful bathing suits. "Yeah dude!" Rhythm gave a thumbs up. I unlocked the door and went to the girl's room and knocked. "Come in!" Nadeshiko

sang. "Nooo!" I heard Rima scream, but it was muffled after a second. So it sounded like mphhfhf. I opened the door and

my jaw dropped. Rima? She flushed bright red and turned her face to look the other way.

"Nadeshiko made me. She claims that it was the only one my size that she had." Rima huffed. My jaw remained dropped and I neared Nadeshiko. "Why? Do you like torturing her." I moaned. She snickered. "Well

for you this isn't torture, it's heaven!" she cheerfully exclaimed. I sweat dropped. KusuKusu, Corona and Memari were giggling and already in their tiny swim suits. I wonder where we got them at? Rima wore an

orange bikini 2 piece that had white polka dots and black laces that tied at the waist on both sides, around the neck, and on both sides of her chest. Like her sides, where all girl bathing suit straps usually go.

And then there was one clip in the middle of her top part, which took place of the lace tie around the back, so you could get the top of with the clip. That got me thinking. Will Tadase wear a bikini too? I snickered

in my mind. Probably will. Nadeshiko wore a pink one piece that

had a white hibiscus flower in the top left corner and a white bow that came around the middle and tied at the center in the front. Both girls hair

was up in a pony tail but Rima's bangs hung off to the side today. It looked different, but cute. Rima tossed me a towel and Nadeshiko one too. She grabbed one for herself and we left the big house. Or in Rima's

words we left the huge fricken' mansion. "What time is it?" I asked. Nadeshiko took out her phone from the beach bag she held. "It is 7:00. Cool, maybe we can go skinny dipping." Nadeshiko joked. I laughed.

We neared the pool where the others sat waiting. I was right, Tadase did wear a bikini, no wait, that is actually a pair of Speedos and I very tiny shirt. I'm pretty sure Ikuto has harassed him about it. As I looked

around to find Ikuto I noticed he nor Utau were here yet. We got to where the others are. "Where is Utau

and Ikuto?" Rima asked before I could. "Ikuto texted me saying that he and Utau should be here any

minute." Amu said, and with that two figures came running towards us. They panted and had collapsed to the dusty ground. They both wore a swimsuit that looked brand new. "They probably got new one's on

the way here. "Did you guys run here?" Kukai asked the two exhausted people on the ground. "We went to get new suits and we got chased out of Wal-Mart because it was closing and we didn't want to leave

so we had to run here from the cops." We all nodded like this happened every single day. "Oh, and Easter left me a note saying be ready and crap and they took everything from me and Ikuto's house except his

violin." Utau added. Our mouths hung open. "Excuse me?" Amu asked

in disbelief. So Utau retold the whole story and everyone was speechless. "Wal-Mart closes this early?" Tadase asked to break the silence.

Rima smacked him across the head for asking such an unimportant question. He yelped and rubbed his head making huffing and puffing sounds with a pout. "Alright, we will just have to be ready. Starting

tomorrow we should train, and to make it safer for our families let's stay in a hotel together." Kukai stated. Rima flinched at the word families. I put my arm around her for comfort. "Sounds about good. Until then

lets enjoy our lives." Kairi decided. We all nodded and made our way past the fence and into the pool area.

I think the hotel thing was a good idea though. Very smart move. Nadeshiko set down the bag for her

and Rima's phones and stuff and everyone laid out their towels neatly on the pool chairs aligned in a row. Rima searched through the bag and pulled out a bottle of sun tan lotion. She laid down, poured some in

her hand, and rubbed it on her skin. I sweat dropped. "Rima, I'm pretty sure there is no sun out…" I trailed off. she shrugged and continued to rub on sun tan lotion. When she finished she put down the bottle

and put on a pair of sunglasses that were too big for her face and looked like the ones that famous diva's wear. I just sighed. Tadase, Kairi, Kukai and Ikuto were all in the pool splashing around and stuff. I

thought that Ikuto hates water. I took a good glance at him and saw that he was shivering. He was only in to impress Amu. I chuckled. Rima was 'tanning' and Utau, Nadeshiko and Amu were talking on the chair

next to Rima's. occasionally Rima would speak up

though. A light bulb flickered above my head. I made a casual dash over to the guys. "I have an idea." I whispered. I told them all the instructions and what my

plan was. "Brilliant dude." Kairi and Kukai said in unison. "I don't know……." Tadase trailed off. "Wimp." Ikuto bullied. Tadase gave a small humph. "Fine, I'm in." he growled, sticking his tongue out at Ikuto, who

punched him on the side of his arm. "Ready." I announced, looking at each and everyone's faces. Nods and glances were exchanged. We all got out of the pool and were on the opposite side of the girl's. we

stood in a straight line and Rima saw us and gave me a wtf face. I just smiled. Oh you'll enjoy this. I looked at the others. "Go." I yelled. We all ran from our straight line and curled up into a ball in midair. "Cannon

ball!" Kukai shouted. We all made a humongous splash at the girls and they were soaking wet. When we arose from the warm blue pool water, we gave high fives and smiled. "Nagihiko." Rima glared. Now I

really regret jumping, because these girls looked ready to kill. They all got out of their seats and chased us around the pool deck.

Tadase was the only one not being chased, who currently was plopped on a chair

eating popcorn and watching us. I got yet another idea and stopped running from Rima. She charged at me and as she was about to hit me and threw her in the pool. The others topped to watch and the guys

triumphantly cheered, now doing as I did causing all of the women to be in the pool. As we watched them come up and take in a big breathe, we watched with smirks as glares were sent to us. "That was fun."

Kukai called out. "Indeed." Kairi commented with a blushing red face. He ended up pushing in Nadeshiko. By the look on his face I think he likes her. I will kill him if he hurts my sister. The girls shrugged and

started swimming around casually. I sweat dropped and Ikuto dived right in. Kukai smiled. "Woo!" he yelled before making a big blast of water jump out of the pool. Kairi shrugged too. "What the heck." He did a

small little flop in the pool and all that remained was me and Tadase.

I sighed and plunged down, sinking to the bottom and springing up once I hit it. When I came up it felt great and Tadase was by the edge of

the pool kicking his legs. The day he marries Justin Timberlake…… I trailed off. suddenly a gigantic tidal wave washes over me, covering up from head to toe. When I popped back out I inhaled a big breath and

smiled. Looking over my shoulder I noticed Nadeshiko was smiling at me. I giggled and turned around faster than the human eye can see. I leaped from my previous spot to where Nadeshiko stood and glomped

on her. She laughed and hugged me. I responded. "Nadeshiko…." I went on. We parted and I doggy paddled to the other side of the pool. I was never really a great swimmer unless I was in Charanari or chara

change. The charas were off only God knows where doing who knows what. Hopefully Rhythm didn't get one of my

charas pregnant. I stifled a laugh. I reached the side of the pool and hoped out. I struggled a bit

at first but managed to get up. So Easter is starting to take charge, Violet and I are like possessed or whatever, Grim won't stop talking to me and junk ,my dad wants to kill me, and I just might be dying, that is

definitely a regular teenage life for you. So much has gone on this summer, so far that is. (What are you talking about!? Were only in chapter 13! Haha) without thinking about it I stood, turned, and walked

straight to the chair with my beach towel. Slowly I sat down and pulled my knees up to my chest and rapped my arms around them. I rested my chin in between the crack from one knee to another. Kukai

observed me and waded through the water and hopped

out of the liquid environment. He squatted beside me and tilted his head. "What's up?" he asked me with concern. "Besides the sky not much actually." I

joked with him. He chuckled and gazed at the starts with interest. The pool lights had come on so flashes of yellow were seen here and there. "There has been a lot going on lately and its also a lot to handle. I

sometimes wonder why we were chosen to do this. Was it like our destiny?" he questioned. I thought for a moment and heard something that only effected me. It was some sort of shriek from a very familiar

voice. I screeched out and clutched my ears. All eyes turned to watch me with intent. My heart pounded rapidly and my head spun. My heartbeat also sped up. Knots tied up in my stomach and something buzzed

inside of me. I forced my eyes open and saw the red gem I had brought with me. (This story is messed up. They are talking by the pool and then this happens. Too many sad things in this story so give me

feedback on how to fix it and stuff.)It floated in front of my face and by instinct I reached out to touch it. Before

I had the chance to it shattered into a million red sparkles. Out of nowhere this pang in the middle

of my chest ran throughout me. I stopped and tried hard to concentrate. I took uneven breaths and thought about how I wanted it gone and suddenly, it just left. I opened my eyes astonished and looked

around. "Rima?" Kukai's hand waved in front of me."Huh?" I asked unconsciously. No one was looking at me and my hands remained at my sides. Did I just imagine that all? "No." Something whispered. I jumped

a little in my seat and Kukai sighed, dashed, and dived into the cool misty water.

Who's there? I think I questioned myself. "Violet. Rima, I need you…." The voice trailed off. Violet? The voice had disappeared and I

could hear nothing. "Freak." Ikuto muttered. Of course I heard it and flicked him off. well thought about it. "Ah, I'm exhausted." Amu exasperatedly sighed. She leaned against the pool rim and everyone did the

same, some getting out. A light shined into the pool deck and scanned the perimeter. "Who's there." A manly voice called

out. Shiz. "It's the fuzz." Utau murmured. I giggled silently. We quietly left the pool and

collected our belongings, but being the clumsy klutz I am I stepped on a rock and yelled. "Fuzzle snuggles!" I screamed. "Who's there! Show yourself!" the police yelled. "aww baloobadoosh." I 'cussed'. "I've got

a plan." Kairi and Tadase said at the same time looking at each other. "What? I'll do anything." Amu sighed in disbelief she would go with one of their plans. "RUN!" they both bolted out the back exit as a squeak

was heard from the other side. "I'm comin' in!" The guard guy yelled. We zigzagged around some beach chairs, tripping over some but getting right back up, and slammed the gate open. I froze. Shiz. "My phone!"

I called out to Nagihiko. "But Rima…" I gave him pleading eyes and he sighed,

scampered past me and hoped the gate screaming like a maniac. "Hey kid, what do you think your doing!" the guy yelled. There was

a sudden THWACK heard and a cat screeching, also a couple things being knocked over before you saw a shadowy figure jump right over. The others gestured for us to hurry up and I quickly thanked Nagihiko

while running for my life. We stopped in the middle of a coul-d-sack and took in as much air as we could. The police man sounded fat so he shouldn't have gotten that far. "I think we should probably head home

now, enough action for the day." I sighed. Everyone agreed. "Meet at the park tomorrow morning at noon." Utau added before taking off with Ikuto. "Wait!" I screamed, causing them to stop and turn around.

"What!?" they yelled. "Where will you stay." She sighed. "I'll just buy me and Ikuto an apartment, I'm rich, remember." She retorted. I nodded and ran with Nagihiko, who was oh so kindly waiting for me. "Stop."

A deep voice demanded. "What the fire hidrents now! I mean seriously! What the cereal here!" I screeched.

StarWater11: longest chappie yet.
