Chapter 15: Reunion
Rima's POV(LIKE ALWAYS)
Flashback
"Of course when we go shopping you'll be carrying my bags, right Nagihiko?" I gave him the cute, pleading look and he gave in. "I'm gonna regret this…" he went on. "Take it like a man." I joked. "Well better get going to the
park." Nagihiko stated getting off the bed. "Wait! Lemme grab my purse!" I dashed out of the room, grabbed it and raced back to Nadeshiko's room panting, luckily not breaking sweat. "Let's go." Nadeshiko signaled us
leaving and we left the room.
End of Flashback
My fluffy golden curls bounce on my shoulders and shirt as the strong wind tussled with it. I held my hand bag over my arm like normal. It was a black and grey coach bag. I skipped happily along the grey tattered
sidewalks. Nagihiko chuckled, "Having fun Rima-chan." I blushed a little and turned my head with a small grin. "Maybe."
I playfully said. Suddenly I remembered Nadeshiko was here and turned a deep red and hid
my face. Nadeshiko and the charas giggled. "It's so obvious that you like him Rima-chan!" KusuKusu giggled. "Nuh uh!" I argued back. Temari, Corona, Memari, and Rhythm nodded their heads, agreeing with
KusuKusu's sudden outburst. "Nagi-nii- san only talks about you when he comes home. If mom is home and she asks about his day he only talks about you." Nadeshiko piped in. I looked at Nagihiko with a small
smirk. "Nagihiko, is this true?" he blushed ever so slightly and turned to glare at his twin sister. We continued down the street to the park. Silence filled the air, as did the sweet aroma of spring flowers. It made
me smile a bit, I felt all warm inside when spring came.
The park looked lovely. Kids were pushed on bright red swings by their parents. They had such joyous smiles and they laughed and begged for a push just a teensy bit higher. Infants slid down the slides with
their siblings, giggling at the breeze, not knowing exactly what it is. "Oi!" Tadase called out to us, waving his hand in the air with a smile. We walked up to him. Everyone except for Amu was present. I glanced
around looking for bubble gum pink hair. "Where is Amu-chan" Nadeshiko broke the awkwardness. Ikuto's phone ringed and buzzed before he finally picked it up. "Yo." He spoke with a deep voice. "But we could
walk, it's really close." Everyone stared intently at the conversation going on. "How did you-" Ikuto nodded his head and glanced at Utau. ""Meet you there then." The cellular device was shut and Ikuto faced us.
"What did she say?" Kukai asked. "That was Hinamori-san, right?" Kairi
questioned. "Amu said that her dad insisted that he drive her to the hotel and apparently Utau told her the hotel we were staying at." I
turned to look at Utau who sank a bit into her shirt. "So are we going to get the hotel first, then shopping?" I just can't wait to see Nagihiko carrying my bags, hehe. Ikuto shrugged and Tadase stepped up. "That
is exactly correct." He nodded sadly. I scoffed at his whatever-ness. Kairi sighed. "Guess we have to go shopping." Tadase muttered, slouching over. Nadeshiko seemed to have over heard because she smirked
and sparkles appeared in her eyes. "But Tadase-kun, don't you wanna help carry my bags." She asked in a soothing tone. Tadase blushed and nodded his head. "O-Of c-course, F-F-Fujisaki-san." He stuttered.
Nadeshiko batted her eyes and Nagihiko rolled his eyes. "Nice." Kukai and Utau high fived Nadeshiko. "That's how it's done." She gloated. "C'mon, let's get this show on the road." Ikuto said clearly wanted to get
this over with. "Wait! What about Yaya?" I asked. "Good question." Utau replied. "Well let's go pick
her up." Kairi bluntly announced. "Duh." He responded again. I glared and flipped my hair with a humph. "Who
knows where she lives." Kukai observed around the room. Kairi blushed and slowly raised his hand. I scooted closer to him and whispered in his ear, "Stalker." Then I made the T.T face and waved my arms like an
alien and did a moonwalk backwards. Kairi had his bangs covering his eyes in shame. Musashi shook his head in disappointment. "Some samurai." He muttered. Kairi sulked lower. "hurry up!" Nagihiko called,
making me and Kairi have to run and catch up to the others, who were like 10 feet away. Once we caught up we followed the them. "Lead the way Kairi." Ikuto gestured. He stepped in front of the rest of us and
became our guide to Yaya's house. Amu attempted to make small talk. "So, I guess after shopping training is next, huh?" Tadase perked up at the talk or even the mention of something that involves Easter. He
has a big obsession, that loser.
Amu's POV
I sweat dropped. Of course the only person who even gave a care was Tadase. I mean, I can't believe I like him, I MEAN I can't believe that I LIKED him, It's not like I still do, right? I totally have Ikuto, who loves
me, doesn't he? I started worrying a little bit. Does Ikuto love me? Well anyways, even if I DID like Tadase still, not saying I do, he probably likes Nadeshiko or something. A small knot formed in my gut. I held my
stomach by slowly holding it with my arm. What is this feeling? Is it hate, rage, anger, jealousy? No, I can't be jealous, can I? that, is like, impossible. I love Ikuto, right? And Tadase probably likes Nadeshiko, right?
I swallowed hard and sweat started forming on my forehead.
Quickly I wiped it away with the sleeve of my shirt. I love Ikuto and Ikuto loves me. That is how it should be, right? Oh my gosh I ask myself right to
much. I let it slide for a while and turned back to reality. Tadase was rambling on about how we will definitely take Easter down for good this time and the whole time Nadeshiko gazed at his eyes while we walked
and he talked. "WELL WHADDYA KNOW, WERE HERE!" Ikuto gladly interrupted. I silently prayed
a thank you to God. Kairi sighed and pushed his glasses up. "We have reached Yuiki-san's house." He properly
announced. We all walked up to the door and my four charas approached me. "Amu-chan, are you alright?" Ran curiously asked me with a sad expression on her face. "Of course I am! Why would you ask that!" I
gasped a bit too fast. "Amu-chan…" Dia put her tiny hand onto my arm and shared the same worried look my other three charas possessed. "Amu-chan are you coming?" Rima turned around. "I-I'll be there i-in a
m-minute!" I called out in a stutter. She nodded and walked in with the other blonde and a brown haired boy with green eyes and a pierced ear. I just broke down onto the hard, concrete ground. Just barely I
scraped parts of my knees which I ignored, as with the pain, which wasn't much. "how do you know I'm unsure right now?" she sighed desperately to her mini selves. "We are all a part of you desu~ and
understand everything you feel because we feel it too." Suu answered me with a gentle smile.
"Please tell us what's wrong Amu-chan." Miki went on. "Please…" The four said in unison looking down. "Well…." I
hesitated a bit but yet again sighed. "I…am unsure if Ikuto-kun loves me and…am unsure of my feelings for Tadase-kun, I thought I was happy and loved Ikuto-kun but…I don't know, I mean I think I love him but I
don't know what my heart or brain is saying, it's like they are both talking at once so I can't hear them out clearly…" I trailed off with tears running from my eyes. Miki frowned and approached me with a sincere
hug on my cheek, accompanied by the other 3. Suu wiped some of the tears from my face and grinned. "That's the beautiful Amu-chan we know and love desu~." She made me smile. "Are you not mad at me?" I
looked up at the sky, not facing them. "Of course we aren't mad, your only confused Amu-chan and we love you, you are going to be confused about things in life and we will be here. We're going to help you." I
nodded my head in response. "thank you." I sniffled. Ran gave a big thumbs up. "That's why we are here Amu-chan, now let's go get Yaya-chan!" I giggled at the highper little figure and jumped up from the
ground. Remembering my sticky and wet face I wiped away the last of my tears and entered the wooden door. Inside sat everyone in the living room on the table. Rima looked over at me and smiled. I waved to
here and took a seat next to Utau-chan. Ikuto was on my left and greeted me with a peck on the cheek which made me frown a bit but I swiftly hid it and smiled at him. "Well since Amu is here we should start. Ok
so we were going to go get a hotel-" "Done." Utau and Ikuto reminded
the green haired boy talking. They had gotten the 5 of the 2 bedded rooms . Two people to a room. He turned around and glared. "As I was
saying, we GOT a hotel which we shall be staying in to make it safer for families and will go shopping for clothes, necessities, training gear such as swords or knifes and what not, and also for other items. After
that we will get our hotel rooms in order than train as best as we can for Easter." Kairi finished. Yaya nodded slowly, just taking this all in. "What will Yaya say to her parents?" she asked. Silence spread through
the room. After a moment-which felt like an eternity- I spoke up. " Tell them we have a summer field trip, that's what I told my dad." Yaya nodded her head once more. Well I'll go tell them now so you all go wait
outside, and do you have a car to drive?" oh shizzle nizzles. "Ummmmm." I swear I heard a cricket sound in the room. Yaya chuckled and smiled wide and big. "That's is ok, you can take Yaya's car, my parents
have ten and 5 are mine. " we all went dead. "What!" Utau yelped.
"Well, Yaya never told anyone but Yaya's parents won the Japanese lottery a while ago and are multimillionaires." She replied sheepishly.
"What!" Ikuto said with money signs in his eyes. When he snapped back to reality he turned to his gaping sister. "That is almost as much as you make Utau-chan." He whispered. "I…..know…" I was really
shocked. "Also Yaya has over $10,000 in her piggy bank." I gaped at the brown haired girl. "Holy fudge." Nadeshiko muttered. Tadase looked at her and blushed. I sighed and a part of me hurt. "That's, like, more
than I can count!" My attention turned to my best friend and I chuckled, which made me feel better. "Rima-chan, we all know that already." Nagihiko teased which of course got Rima mad so she started punching
his arm. Nagihiko-kun just laughed and patted her head. She huffed and crossed her arms like Ami. "Alrighty then, well we will go wait in the garage where the car is, I'm guessing, and meet us there." Kairi
shuffled away, ready to get away from this scene. We all followed obediently and went through, like, three doors
before getting to the one that had led to the garage. Yaya-chan had a big house, and her garage
was fricken huge! It held all ten cars. "Soooo, who's driving?" I questioned a little scared. "Well Utau is a fricken maniac on the road, Tadase is too slow, same with Ikuto, Rima is just too short, (she huffed after
that again) Nagihiko will start cussing at the other drivers,(he sank lower into the floor) Yaya can't drive for crap with all the sugar she eats, Kukai will get too pumped, Amu is too careful, and I'm me." We all
looked around the room at Kairi's lovely criticism. Nadeshiko spoke up with a bit of anger, "What about me and Ikuto?" she questioned. We all shrank at the sound of Ikuto behind the wheel. She tilted her head in
confusion and put her finger on her chin. "What?" she sweetly asked. " Ikuto and driving just don't mix, let us put it at that because you do NOT want to find out the hard way." Kukai gave some advice. We all
rapidly nodded our heads. Ikuto flipping hated any part of transportation that is not feet. "Well Ikuto is the only one with a legal age for driving…." Nadeshiko
wanted us to continue. "Hell no, there is NO way in
HELL that he is driving with us in the car because our lives are at stake with that kind of risk." I answered. "What if I drive then?" she asked. Nagihiko burst out laughing. "What is so funny Onee-san? Do you
think I am incapable of driving?" she was getting angry. "Well-haha-it's not that, it's just that-haha-you're my little sister so-ha-yeah." Nagihiko-kun went on. Nadeshiko scoffed and then smirked, "Well if you don't
think I can drive I will prove to you that I can. If I win then you have to make out with Rima." Nadeshiko gave an evil look to her older brother. Rima was going red now and Nagihiko had his competitive game face
on. "Alright, but if I win than you have to make out with Tadase." Nadeshiko stepped down for a moment with a blushing face. Again the knot came to my stomach. "F-Fine, y-you have y-yourself a d-deal." She
stuttered as they shook hands and we all went on with our lives. Lol.
Nagihiko's POV
Well I guess I have made a bet with my sister. I really should NOT have laughed at her though, because she is an excellent driver, well when we were 10 she was, I have no clue about now. When we were both
little, we would go on many road trips and with each one we were promised anything of our choice and of course when mother said we can't pick dance lessons, she picked the next best thing, driving lessons.
And why this was the next best thing is because she could drive
before me. And of course being the mother ours was, I couldn't pick that one for my dear sister already had. I really hope that those lessons didn't
pay off. And plus it has been 4 years since she took those lessons, without even a permit, and she doesn't even have her permit now. Well then again if we get pulled over or whatever we have our charas so we
could get away with it or I could swoon the police person if it is a female or male for I have a pony tail with me at all times just in case. And to add to that list, everyone except Rima and Yaya look older anyways.
Maybe if Yaya puts her hair down and out of pig tails…"Hey hey! Mama and Papa said ok!" Yaya jumped out from behind the door and gave a thumbs up with her tongue sticking out of her mouth. "KYAA!" Rima
squeaked, jumping up a bit. Yaya lowered her thumb and tilted her head. "Oi, Rima-chi is scared of Yaya?" she giggled. Pepe gave a small chuckle at the not-so-funny joke. "What car should we take Yaya-chan?" I
asked, gazing at the newest Japanese cars right in front of me. "Hmmmm, how about
the stretch Hummer Limo?" she pondered. "T-That sounds g-good." I stuttered. These cars are just wow. I still can't believe
that Yaya's parents had won the lottery. The Japanese lottery is, like, impossible to hit, and only 10 have done it because you have to pick 10 numbers out of 150. (Not sure if that's true, just made it up.)
Amazing how people do all piled into the limo and Nadeshiko was smirking eagerly to prove me wrong and win the bet. "So, who happens to be driving?" Yaya asked no one in particular. "N-Nadeshiko-
chan." Amu replied with a trembling lip, not quite sure what is going to happen,
it seems she is wondering if she should start planning her funeral, because even though Nadeshiko and Amu are great friends,
when it comes to Amu, friends, and driving, Amu has to choose her life. "Ok! Nadi-chi take your seat and let's go!" Yaya gave a pep talk. My younger twin sat down in the leather seat up front which controlled the
steering of the car. "I trust you Nadi-chi!" Yaya spat out. I sweat dropped. "Well, let's just hope we don't die." Kukai joked. Nadeshiko gave him a quick glare before turning the key in the ignition, starting the car.
"KYAAAAA!" Utau yelled out her battle cry. "If you happen to drive better than me than I shall challenge you with shopping!" we all sweat dropped and Nadeshiko nodded with a grin. "You're on!" Flames burned
from both girls eyes now as they punched dreadful fists in the air. I swear I heard them make a swish they were going so fast.
In the Car(ohhh crap )
Everyone had their mouths gaping, not everything runs in the family. The limo stayed perfectly straight and in the RIGHT lane, we were also going the CORRECT SPEED and haven't even been close to crashing
once. This upsets me dearly, I can't drive but my younger twin sister can. I scoffed at her perfectness while she smirked, but still looking at the road. "You know you all can talk, it's not like we will crash if you do."
Nadeshiko calmed them. All heads turned to Ikuto as he sunk in his chair. I thought I
would start up a conversation. "So, how long do you think we will be staying at the mall?" the car was silent and all that was
heard was the other drivers surrounding us. "Maybe a couple hours, like 5 or 6." Utau said with the girls nodding their heads. "What! That is NOT a reasonable amount of time!" Kukai blurted out. Amu smirked.
"Your right Kukai-kun." Kukai smiled in victory, or so he thought. "We can stay for 7 hours." She said, abbreviating the word seven. Kukai crossed his arms, clearly not liking this. "Women and power are not a good
combo…" Kairi muttered. "Dude, you are absolutely right." Tadase shook his head up and down. Ikuto stayed huddled in his seat, afraid of being on this vehicle. "What was that Kairi-kun, you don't wanna carry
Yaya's bags for 7 or so hours?" Yaya batted her eyes, earning a small high five from Utau, Amu, and Rima, not
Nadeshiko though because she's the one behind the wheel. I chuckled slightly. "We have such a
great girls against boys feud, we could be on TV." Ikuto nodded from his corner. "Probably…" The car came to an abrupt halt. "We're here." Nadeshiko proudly announced, glad she did what everybody thought
she couldn't. "My my, guess who has to make out with a certain short blonde. " Rima started steaming up. "I am NOT short! I'm just small." She gave out a humph and crossed her arms. "B-but..-" "Nope, the bet
was, if I was an excellent driver than YOU have to make out with Rima, but if you drive better than me than I had to make out with Tadase. You lost so start the tongue wrestling." Amu started cracking up but
patted my back in support. "It shouldn't be bad." She gave me a wink. Everyone in the massive car watched me and Rima. I turned to face her and started leaning in. "D-Don't do a-anything stupid p-purple head."
She stuttered. BANG! A big bang hit the window next to us. Amu jumped and Rima screamed. The figure started pounding on the window. "Helllpppp!" A muffled scream was heard. We quickly opened the door
and hopped out to see a girl with a pale face,
much like the one we saw at the café. Rima stepped up. "Violet?" she choked. Kairi turned to her. "Do you know this girl. In panic, Rima turned from me to Nadeshiko
and back again, looking for back up. "I-I-I.." "Rima! Help, it's Grim, he's c-coming soon!" The girl yelled out. "Rima, who is she!" Kukai and Amu yelled. Sweat formed on Rima's head. "Rima-chan, let's go!" KusuKusu
screamed. "Wait!" Corona interrupted. "Let me, I need to try something." KusuKusu tilted her head but nodded. "Ok." "My Heart: Unlock!" a bright light swirled around Rima's body, engulfing the whole parking lot
of the mall. "Charanari: Sweet Dream!" the light faded and hovering down came a small blonde girl. Her hair was in a high up pony tail and her bangs were off to the side. She wore really short black shorts with a
rainbow colored spiked belt. She had on a shirt that ended at her chest, it was a hot pink and had straps instead of sleeves, black gloves went from her hand up to her elbow, it also had two long pieces of her
shirt that stuck straight out on the back but it pointed down. A pair of black stilettos was worn on
her feet and silver hoop earnings dangled from from her ears. To top it off she had a hot pink bow in her hair and
had a choker around her neck. And for some odd reason, in her left hand was a…a wand like thingy? Ok then. "Rima!" Amu screamed. Rima-chan put her hand out behind her. "I've got this." "Violet, where is he?"
Violet frantically looked around. "He's watching us, I managed to escape and he's after me, I need to hide for a bit, can I please come with you? I-I can help you with Easter, because I overheard Grim talking
about he has joined forces with your dad and Easter, and your dad is already with Easter, and I wanna help, please Rima…." The brown headed girl started crying. I felt really bad for her. Rima sighed deeply and
once again faced the sobbing girl. "You…can stay with us and help to defeat Easter….if it is alright with my friends…." She gave the puppy dog eyes to the people behind her. "But we barely know the girl and…
and…." Tadase gave a huff and his forehead wrinkled. "Alright, and you
Nadeshiko-chan." The gay boy asked. "Of course." She bowed. She turned to Kukai. "Well….she…we…i…..fine…" he gave up as he leaned
against the car in defeat. "This is kind of weird, but I guess she can come IF you both start explaining soon. " Violet looked up and smiled big. "Oh thank you, thank you! You won't regret it!" she gratefully
cheered, getting off the dirty, jet black floor and giving everyone hugs. "But…I guess since she is your friend she can…"
Amu pondered. Rima smiled. "Thank you amu-chan." She bowed. "It's ok with me, and lastly
we need your opinion Ikuto." Everyone's attention was averted to the cat-like man. "Well ok, whatever." He shrugged. Rima's clothes switched to the one's she was wearing earlier and she gave Violet a hug.
"This is going to work out great." She said happily. Violet looked through her pocket frantically. Suddenly she pulled out a colorful egg, it looked like the rainbow and had a red ruby-like gem in the center, and right
below it was a paw print. What an odd egg. "I just recently got my chara egg Rima-chan, I think it's because of my beast but I'm unsure." Everyone exchanged puzzled glances. Violet looked up. "Oh, well me and
Rima-chan will explain later, so what's he plan you guys?" the girl asked. Violet looked our age and she had on a gray Hollister shirt with red shorts. She hair was a dark chocolate brown and her eyes were blue.
She had on a white scarf and hoop earrings. Her necklace was
made of gray pearls and her shoes were a pair of tan sandal with white straps which crossed over her feet twice. She dressed pretty descent
actually. "Well, we were going to go shopping and then we had a hotel to stay at and we were going to train for Easter and since school starts up in 5 days, it will be pretty hectic." Violet's face glowed. "What
school are you enrolled to?" she asked anxiously. "Seiyo High School, why?" Utau questioned. If possible Violet's smile widened. "To seem normal Grim, we will explain later, thought that I should go to school and
enrolled me at this high school, I'm just starting 9th grade this year." We all looked at each other. "Same here! Me, Nagihiko, Nadeshiko, Amu, and Tadase are enrolled in 9th grade, Kairi and Yaya too, we bumped
them up a grade, Kukai and Utau are enrolled in the 10th grade and Ikuto is in the 12th, his last year here, and
then he is going to be teaching classes or something so he is near the school with us until we all
graduate." Rima spatted out. "That's awesome!" Violet replied. "Violet, do you have any money?" Kairi asked sheepishly. "Actually I do. While I had some free time I worked and I actually have over 400 dollars in
my pocket. It's amazing, because I've earned that money over 2 years, and yes I was with Grim, and I haven't spent any, I always had free food, Grim would….steal it…" she seemed down but perked back up.
"Well let's starts shopping I guess and Me and Rima will explain at the hotel, is that ok?"
"Sure, let's go!" Amu screamed in joy. "Shopping! Hooray, let's have fun today Pepe-tan!" Yaya screeched happily as she
pointed at the mall entrance. I laughed at the funny sight. Everyone was filled with happy and no worries, all but Rima and Violet. I feel bad for them, I've never had something that big happen to me in my life, so
I wouldn't know how to feel.." "Earth to Nagihiko?" Nadeshiko waved a hand in front of my face. "C'mon!" she yelled as she hyperly dragged me into the mall. Inside waited the gang. "So I guess it would be good
to properly introduce ourselves, shall we?" Kairi pushed his glasses up as a light reflected off of it. The introductions went around as we all exchanged hello's and greetings, when we were done Rima smiled.
"Let's go!" she announced. "Where do you guys wanna go first?" Amu asked. "Sports store?" I suggested. Suddenly everyone said
a different store and pointed in their directions. "Ummm, well this isn't
good…"Rima observed. "Well lets split up and then meet at the food court at 2:00, it is already 10:00 so we have plenty of time to go where we want." Tadase said. "God idea." Ikuto replied. "Let's be in groups
though, just in case." I added. "I guess I'll be with Rima-chan and Violet-chan." I told everyone. "Tadase-chi and Kairi-kun is with Yaya!" Yaya cheered, dragging them into a candy store nearby. "I'll take my Amu-
koi." Ikuto picked Amu up bridal style and carried her away. "Kukai, let's go." Utau commanded, making the boy follow her out of sight and into the crowded mall somewhere. "I don't really feel like hunting
someone down so I guess I'll just tag along with you all." Nadeshiko
invited herself into our group. "Sounds good to me." Rima countered. "Where do you guys wanna go?" I asked politely. I would REALLY like to
stay on their good sides today. Rima smirked and whispered something into Nadeshiko's ear, who then told it to Violet-chan. "Victoria's Secret!" They all yelled out happily. I gulped. I swear they love torturing me,
I bet they sit in their rooms all day to come up with new ways to punish me. Nadeshiko grabbed my hand and dragged me past several stores until we came across a pink and black one. In big letters it read,
VICTORIA'S SECRET, on the top. "C'mon Nagihiko-kun, help me pick out a new bra." Violet joked. They drove me into the womanly store and into a place where no man wants to be. "Nagihiko-kun.." Rima batted
her eyes. I sighed, "Yes?" I answered. "Will you carry our bags?" she questioned sweetly.
I said. "I don't have a say in this do i?" "Nope." She said as she pushed her way towards the bra's. I sighed again and
sat down on a bench by the fitting room. A boy who looked my age was sitting next to me. I turned to him. "Girlfriend drag you in here?" I asked. "No, my work assistant." He muttered. "I fell for you dude." I
patted his back. "So, your pretty young to be working." "Naw,
I'm only 14, going on 15 soon, but my company hires people of all ages, it's funny too because my boss is only like 11 or 12 years old,." He chuckled.
"Really?" I asked him. "Yeah, and the worst part is, is that he is my cousin AND he sucks, totally mean and shows no mercy." He replied. I snarled. "Wow. So, what company do you work for?" he seemed hesitant
over whether to tell me or not but after a minute or two gave in. "I'm not really supposed to tell anyone where I work but you seem like a good guy, I work for the Easter corporations." The boy told me. My heart
skipped a beat. He works for Easter? "S-So, what's your name?" I tried to get some info on the guy so I can tell the others. "My name is Nami. And it's also funny because I have no
desire to work for Easter." He
chuckled. "Then why do you?" he seemed to have no worry answering this. "I'm sort of forced to, I hate when they do and stuff but since the boss is my cousin he's making me, if I don't his men will hunt me down
and-I've said too much, I wasn't supposed to tell you this, I'm sorry." Nami got up
and started walking. "Pachi, c'mon!" he yelled to I guess his assistant. He turned his head around. "I'm sorry but I have to go."
The second he whipped his head back around he ran into someone. They both fell to the ground. "I'm so sorry. I didn't see you and-" both people seemed stunned as they looked at each other. "N-Nami, I
thought you were-what are you doing here?" Violet asked the boy. I was confused. "You know him Violet?" the air was silent all except for the buzzing shoppers. "Yes Nami-chan." A girl came from behind some
racks and froze also. "Well, it's nice to see you again, Violet-chan. I thought you had run away." She glared at my friend. Nadeshiko and Rima came over. "Violet where did you-oh…" Rima stopped what she was
saying to watch this little reunion. Violet and Nami got up. "Shut up Pachi, your just
upset because Nami asked me out instead of you, which was like 8 fricken years ago." She groaned. Rima looked at me and her
eyes asked me what was up. I looked at her and mouthed, "I don't know, it's some reunion I guess." Rima nodded her head and watched these people argue. "Pachi, Violet, stop." Nami got in the middle of them.
"Violet, where have you been, after that day…..you just ran away.." Violet looked away. "You know I couldn't have joined you guys, after my parents death and then Easter.." my eyes widened. "You know about
Easter?" I asked Violet. "No, I don't. they told me to join them, but I couldn't and I ran away." "You know it wasn't my fault they made us join Violet, It's Hikaru's fault, he made us and I told you that if you got too
close to me something bad would happen to you…" Nami trailed off.
"Whatever, Nami let's go, I can't stand to be near this skunk bag." Pachi scoffed. Violet gave her a hard glare and turned back to Nami. "I finally
found you…and you truly are with Easter." "I'm sorry Violet. I betrayed you and it WAS my fault, I should have stopped Easter before they could kill your parents and make us join, I'm sorry." Nami went on. Violet
started making tears and quickly wiped them away. "Then quit Easter, help us defeat them."
She sobbed. "I can't, I don't want anyone else I love killed Violet, and Easter is stronger and has the power to do that
and more…but I don't want to lose you again…" Nami looked around and leaned in towards Violet's ear. "I'll try as best as I can to help you guys, but don't let Pachi know or she will kill us all, we both got
guardian eggs now." Nami whispered slightly. Violet nodded and waved good bye as he two people walked away. "I'll be back…"Nami mouthed. Violet fell to the floor and sobbed harder. "That's what you said last
time…." She whispered gently. "Who were they Violet?" Nadeshiko asked. "The boy, Nami, was my childhood best friend, and I had a big crush on him." She smiled. "The girl, Pachi, biggest biotch ever. She hates
my guts because Nami likes me, she's been trying to get rid of me for years, until I ran away. And it's funny because me and her used to be really good friends until we both liked Nami." "Why do you do that, run
away?" I asked. "Because Easter killed my parents
and forced all three of to join Easter or else they would kill us and our loved ones. I had no other family except for myself and my friends, Nami and Pachi, but I
declined and they said they would find and kill me but I ran away and they still haven't found me yet. I lived in different places and had different jobs, trying to get money, and then one day, I was crying in an ally
way and got a massive head ache that I couldn't avoid. Some nice lady found me and rushed me to a hospital. While I was sleeping Grim came to me and told me that I had a beast and he like made me his pet or
something and I was scared, but from that day on I was under his and my beast's control and he watched over me." I was in awe. "Heh, that's similar to my story…" Rima said. I turned to her and saw her crying
too, but not sad tears, tears of mixed emotions. I gave her a pat on the back and a peck
on the cheek. She smiled at me and used her shirt to wipe away the tears stains on her cheeks. "Violet…." Nadeshiko went
on. Violet grinned. "It's ok, I know that I'll see him again." Nadeshiko helped pick Violet up and we left the pink store. "Well how about we go and eat something, to take our minds off things." Rima-chan
suggested. "Sounds good." I replied and we walked towards the scent of the food.
Utau's POV
Me, and Kukai strode into a Starbucks and sat down at an empty table. My cheeks were burning red and I was deeply blushing. Me and Kukai-kun were on a d-date. "So, would you like a coffee Utau-chan?" Kukai
asked politely. "Sure, how about a mocha frappe latte
with caramel cream on the top and a piece of chocolate on the side." Remembering my favorite thing to get at Starbucks. Kukai sweat dropped but gave a big
thumbs' up. "You got it." He hopped out of his chair and into the short coffee line. Seconds later he returned, with two coffees in hand. "For the miss." He handed me my latte and I sipped it with my straw. "Thank
you, Kukai-kun." "No problem, anything for this beautiful girl." I blushed deeper and
punched his arm. He winced slightly and rubbed it. "What was that for? I can't help it that you're so beautiful." I smiled and he
gave me a wink, taking a sip from his iced coffee. I drank my latte silently while the stirring and blending from behind the counter was heard. "Oi, let's go shop now!" Kukai yelled out. A couple people stared and
whispered things like, "Oh my, that's Utau-chan." Or "They are a cute couple, do you think I could get their autographs?" embarrassed, I left with Kukai and my latte in hand. The brown haired boy beside me slid
his hand over to mine and cradled it. Our fingers locked together and we walked, hand in hand. "Kukai-kun…" I trailed off. he kissed my forehead gently and ruffled my hair. I huffed like a little kid and groaned. He
chuckled at me and we kept walking.
Yaya's POV
"Oi! Doesn't the mall close early today?" I asked the two boys in my group. "I believe it does Yaya-chan, in 3 hours it closes, precisely when we are meeting with the others." Kairi-kun replied, pushing his glasses
up."Do you think that we will forget?" Tadase-chi asked. "No, we are highly professional teenagers, we shall remember Tadase-kun." Kairi shifted over. I grinned big as I looked around the colorful store we were
in. "So much candy." I beamed. "Don't too hyper Yaya-cha-" before he could finish I had rushed around the store and looked at all of the candy glistening under the bright lights hanging above. Picking up different
pieces randomly, I turned to the boys. "Eh? Kairi-kun and Tadase-chi don't
want any candy?" I asked. They both shook their heads. "Oh well! More for Yaya!" I cheered as I ran to the cashier pulling out a 20 from
my bag. "Thank you miss. Have a nice day!" the cashier called. I smiled big, "Yaya will!" in my left hand was a huge bag which contained a load of sugar for Yaya. Hehe.
Amu's POV
"Ikuto-kun!" I yelled furiously. Ikuto smirked. "People are staring and, and, and! Ugh!" I shrieked. "Ok Amu-koi." I groaned viciously and finally the big cat set me own onto the floor. "Thank you." I groaned. Ikuto
chuckled. Suddenly I realized where we were at. He took me to a mini carnival in the mall, and of course the first thing I spotted was the teacups. My eyes lit up and I grabbed his hand, dragging him into the line
of the ride. "Amu-chan…" "This is pay-back for carrying me." I stuck my tongue out snickering. Ikuto moaned as the line shortened and it was our turn on. The man letting us on the ride looked at us funny but
opened the gate and let us through. We sat in a blue and white cup with a flower design on the sides. Ikuto barely fit and like half of his oversized body stuck out of the cup. "BAHAHAHA!" I laughed, tears
brimming my eyes threateningly. "Haha Amu." Suddenly Ikuto smirked. "This is a fun date, reminds me of the last
one we had on a teacup ride, you laughed at me then too, Amu." This got me to shut up as I
glared at him. "This is NOT a date." I warned him. He put his arms up. "Ok, whatever you wanna believe." He snickered. I hit his arm and blushed. Suddenly the teacup began to spin, slowly at first but gradually
getting faster as I turned the wheel. I smiled big and my four charas cheered and attempted to help turn the wheel also, while Ikuto watched me intently. I was having fun.
Rima's POV
I walked with Nadeshiko, Violet and Nagihiko to the food court. The hours had gone by REALLY fast, I didn't even realize it. It felt like only 10 minutes. Time flies when you're having fun I guess. My stomach
grumbled and I blushed. "Hungry Rima-chan?" Violet joked. "Yeah." I giggled. "Look, there is the others!" I yelled, pointing to a table in the food court. That's funny, there is like no one left in the mall. Suddenly a
speaker came on. "The mall is closing in 5 minutes shoppers." My jaw dropped. "Excuse me!" I yelled as we reached our friends. "Oh no! You told us we wouldn't forget Kairi-kun!" Yaya smacked Kairi in the head.
"Forgot what!" I started panicking. "That the mall closes early today…" Tadase whispered. "It what! There is absolutely NO way that we can make it out, the exit is at the OTHER END OF THE FLIPPING MALL!" I
screeched. "Calm down Rima-chan." Kukai tried calming me. "The mall
has just closed shoppers." Another announcement was made. I hit my head. "Now we are stuck here over night!" I yelped, clearly mad. "Well
at least we bought clothes and stuff." Amu tried to bring in the bright side of this. "Ok." I sat down and rubbed my temples. After I was more relaxed I sighed. "Well let's camp out in the food court for now and-"
my stomach grumbled again. "Fuck, I'm hungry." I whispered. "Did anyone buy food?" Ikuto asked. We all turned to Yaya from instincts. "Why do you all look at Yaya?" she started sweating. Suddenly she sighed.
"Yaya bought candy for Yaya to eat but…Yaya will share!" she said excitedly. "Thank you Yaya-chan." I've never really liked sweets that much but its food. A shadow creeped up behind me. Fudge. "I believe you
have someone that is mine, Rima." It said. "FUDGE!" I yelled unhappy. "Why do YOU always have to show up!" I yelled at the figure, but not facing it. Violet scampered towards me and clung to my arm. "Violet….."
I whispered. She must be terrified. I turned around, mad, and cracked my knuckles. This was VERY unlike me. "Let's go, Corona." I called. My chara zoomed out from behind. I heard a wiggle from Violet. I turned
around and an egg flew out from Violet's pocket. "Nuts." Nagihiko whispered. "Let me and
Violet handle this one." I told my friends. CRACK! The shell of the egg split in two and out came a small chara, a small
ODD chara. I gasped slightly as I tried to see the resemblance of the egg, Violet, and the chara. "Woah." Violet squeaked. Suddenly two people came from out of the shadows. A boy and girl. "Hello guardians."
The girl said while the buy looked guilty at Violet. He mouthed something, it looked like he was saying he's sorry. two chara swivled out from behind them and smirked. "Hello Rima." A familiar voice said. I trembled
a bit at the sound of my father behind the two children. "Well isn't this a lovely reunion." I said unhappily.
Princess: I think this chapter was pretty good.
Amu: Wow, a lot of drama and you left at a cliffy you jerk.
Rima; Holy cap this is getting interesting
Princess: Yeah, I tried to make it good for you all since I haven't uploaded in forever, hehe.
