Princess-chan: Aaahh! Sorry for the late update everyone.
Rima: Meh. StarWater11 owns nothing in the stories or Shugo Chara.
Chapter 23: Slowly but Surely
Flashback
"It's…locked?" I nodded my head in agreement and Rima slam her
head in the wall. "Well you can't be seen in my suite or people will think something's up." she stated. "But I can't go
anywhere else." I added. "Aah Rima-chan, I'm so sorry we had to do this but…" WHAM! Both mine and Rima's heads were knocked out cold and we were being dragged off somewhere else. My vision was slightly
gone and then…I blacked out.
End of Flashback
Nagihiko's POV:
My eyes slowly fluttered open and around me was an enclosed room. The room had run down gray walls and one light. The
light had a flickering yellow glow, as if it was about to die out. There were no windows
but only a door. The door was made of metal and it was pretty rusty, also it had a tiny rectangular window with bars aligned in it. I'm guessing this is some sort of
cage, to keep us contained. I say 'us' because
not only was I in here, but Rima-chan as well. Rima was still knocked unconscious and was leaning up against the tattered wall in the corner. Her head was down and you couldn't see her angelic face. Our clothes
were very worn out with some small rip marks and dirt scrubs. "Rima-chan…" her petite little head slowly peered up. Her cheeks were red with water stains rolling down it. "Hello, Nagihiko. I-it's nice to see that
your finally awake…" I frowned unwillingly to myself. "Hey there Rima-chan, same to you. Do you- Do you know where we are?" I asked sheepishly, my face turning different shades of pink, then red. She hugged
her kneed tight to her chest, wrapping her scrawny pale
arms around them. Her golden locks had some dirty brown added to them and were in a crazed jungle tangle. Lifting her head slightly she turned to
observe the steel door, "I have only one guess: Easter. And since my father joined the only other person who I think could have done this was Grim, but that's not very probably seeing of this condition." I nodded
my head slowly. My silky violet hair was also
tangled in a few knots and had its curls every here and there, nothing like normal. I stroke my dilapidated clothing gently; we were only gone for a couple hours, right?
We shouldn't be this bad in shape, right? "Of course…" I scooted my body over to Rima's and put her
shaky hand in mine, kissing her pale white cheek. "Don't worry Rima-chan, we'll get out of this." I smiled only
to comfort her, that and for hopes, hopes of getting out of this retched place, hopes of saving Amu and Ikuto, hopes of defeating Easter, hopes of everything else…
Nadeshiko's POV:
"ohmyfuckinggod." I said aloud, pacing myself in the girls' suite. Everyone except for Ikuto, Amu, Nagihiko and Rima were present. "OK you guys let's calm down, I mean sure we found the door wide open and
sure Mashiro-san and Fujisaki-san are nowhere in sight but that doesn't mean anything. Maybe they went t elope
and run away to spend their forbidden love together." Tadase suggested in a sweet tone. I
nearly slapped him upside the head as everyone gave their wtf faces. "Sure Tadase-kun and that explains everything." Yaya exclaimed sarcastically. Tadase shrunk in his chair, "Well hey, I'm the only one here
even thinking of anything…"He pouted.
Now normally I would drool over that but this was no-never mind I just said that…moving on…moving on…"Well I have only one guess who it was, and this is a no brainer,
even Kukai could come up with it." Kairi spoke for the first time this night. Kukai crossed his arms, "Well thanks previous jack." Kairi lifted his glasses and gave us a serious look, "Easter." Utau stood on her feet
now, "Those sorry little-never mind that, anyways, I say that it's time
for a sneak attack, I say it's about time that we fight back, I say it's about time…to stand up for ourselves." She put her hands out in front of
her. "Now who's with me?" I put both of my hands in unconsciously as did Violet and Kukai. "Yaya's in!" Yaya excitedly put her
hands in the circle and Kairi lay his in softly. "Well…since it's for Hinamori-san
and Fujisaki-san…" Utau slapped him, "And the shrimp and Ikuto-kun!" she shouted. "Yeah them too…" Now all that was left was…well actually no one. (Lolz) I smiled as we threw each of our hands up in joy.
Everything was getting better, slowly but surely.
Rima's POV:
Nagihiko sat beside me in the corner while I stayed silent, like the rest of the world to me. I knew exactly what was up, my dad, Easter, Nami and Pachi…but where is Grim during this little episode? Oh yeah that's
right, he's off hurting two of my friends (If you count
Ikuto as a friend) The rusty metallic door slid open with a thud. Inside stepped the two Easter agents, only about our age. Nami and Pachi. This Nami guy
doesn't seem too bad, but I couldn't trust him, I couldn't trust anyone right now. "Get up you
pieces of dirt, it's time to meet the boss." I gulped and got up with no emotions whatsoever. Nagihiko followed as I did
and we pursued the two people keeping us in control. They led us through many hallways and flights of stairs until Nami opened up a very fancy wooden door. It had golden knobs and the engraving of the
letters EC in all caps on the door.
The left door panel held the E while the right contained the C. Probably standing for Easter corporations. The doors shut and the Nami and Pachi disappeared into the darkness of
the room, literally. The room was pitch black, all but a faint light that sowed a
man sitting in an interpret red cushioned chair. Beside this unfamiliar man was a very familiar man, all too familiar to be exact. "Hey
dad." I spat out in my harshest tone. "Nice to see you too you son of a-"the man sitting in the chair interrupted "-enough Mr. Mashiro. As you children can see
you are in the hands of Easter and we have a job for
you piece of scum." I scowled and grimaced at the sound of this guy talking. His voice was very brief and serious, yet dangerous and all too hazardous. Nagihiko seemed almost silent the whole time until now,
"What 'job' do you plan on having us do?" He said rather rash. I looked at him almost shocked but he showed no sign of being affected, he looked mad. The man laughed.
"You may call me by the Director, and this
job is quite simple you see." I can't see anything retard, if you haven't noticed it's pitch black in here. "Well then, Director" Nagihiko spat out rudely "-what the hell is it." The Director smiled grimly, "You must work
as Easter agents for me, well until I'm done
with you at least." He let out a dark chuckle and I gaped. "Easter agent my ass, I've got nothing to lose, I mean I have no family after all." At this comment my 'father'
stepped in. "I'll remember that in the near future." He rolled his eyes. I glared my ice glare at them but there was no reaction. These guys mean business. "And what if we don't?" Nagihiko piped in. "Well let's just
say we have people watching you, always,
and let's just say that if u don't, there will be terrible consequences." I so hate these guys. Nami and Pachi stepped up from the shadows. "And-"The Director went on.
"-Nami and Pachi here are going to go with you both on your…missions." I rolled my honey orbs. "Yippee." I said sarcastically. Pachi crossed her arms and rolled her
eyes while Nami just stood there. "This should
be rather…interesting?" Nagihiko whispered to me matter-of-factly. I just sighed. "Now, go back to your cell. You will be called back out for training in 48 hours, so rest up ad hope you won't die." The Director
chuckled, having an employee lead us out of the room and back down to our 'cell'. "48 FRICKEN HOURS!" I screamed when both Nagihiko and I reached our cell, being thrown
in and having the door close. "Yes
Rima-chan, that's what I heard at least." I glared at the purple headed boy. "Oh em gee! But I have to eat since I am feeding for two!" I yelled out in one breathe. I was on fire here, ranting on and on. But then
Nagihiko stopped me. "Excuse but what?
Your feeding for how many now?" Oh shit. I started sweating and rubbing my head. "W-well you s-see when we were i-in the hot tub and a-all and…yeah, I think you get
the picture…" Nagihiko stood on his feet now and towered over me. "BUT RIMA WERE FRICKEN 14!" He shouted, piercing my poor ears. You know I'm only kidding right? Lol, I'm just messing with Nagihiko's mind
while were here. Hehe it's mean but it should be fun! So, if
your wondering just play along with it. "Yes, and I'm pretty sure it's a girl so we should start thinking of names. I vote Naga! (Naga was because Nagi's
name starts with N then the second letter in Rima's name was A and the third letter in Nagi's name is G and the fourth letter in Rima's name is A.) " I shrieked. Nagihiko face palmed and sat in the corner
with his face in his hands. "I took her virginity…" He kept on muttering. I was laughing my butt of on the inside, honestly.
Nadeshiko's POV:
So we had a plan and everything, but first things first, school. "Well what the hell are we gonna do. Tell Tsukasa we need to save Rima, Nagi, Ikuto and
Amu and ditch school?" Kukai suppressed a chuckle and I
glared, very unlike me. "Uh yeah? Tsukasa's too gay to do anything about it Nade-chi, well at least that's what Yaya thinks." Yaya proclaimed. I sighed. "Fine, but I think Tadase should use his…charm?...on him
and tell him. We all know he likes him best anyways." I stated firmly. "Do I have any say in this?" Tadase objected. I batted my eyelashes and began sobbing fake
tears. Utau stifled a laugh and a smirk grew over
her face. "Please Tadase-kun? F-for me?" I cried. Tadase looked like an innocent little puppy and gave me a hug. "Oh don't cry Nadeshiko-chan, Ok, I'll do it alright." Tadase politely said. Yes! Score one for
Nadeshiko. "Yeah and while you're at it you and
Nadeshiko can swap spit…" Utau muttered. "What?" I asked. Kukai chuckled and ruffled my violet hair. "It's nothing Nadeshiko, now Tadase get calling while we all
get ready. Kairi, you and Yaya-chan go buy the stuff while Utau, Nadeshiko and I get the fake
passes and fix the plans so there full proof." Being the leader he is announced. Kairi nodded, "Hai Souma-san, c'mon
Yaya." Kairi called, leaving the suite with the brunette. "But before we go, the grocery people are gonna think 1 of two things, 1 is either us being insane
or 2 is were terrorists, or both." He sighed, heading out
with the hyper girl. I giggled aloud. "He's right you know, the list of stuff we have is pretty ludicrous." Utau shrugged. "Meh, now let's get cracking!" Tadase went directly to the phone and began punching in some
numbers. How he knows Tsukasa's number by heart I'll never know though.
The list we had given Yaya and Kairi was this: Explosives, plungers, fireworks, pocket knives, black outfits including the raccoon hats(lmaoo), cheez its, steel plates, walkie talkies, bubble gum (Specifically Hubba
Bubba), Nike shoes with sticky bottoms, socks(the neon colors) and lastly a camera with a recorder. I doubt the cashier will let them buy this stuff though seeing
as how their only 13, but Yaya will most likely
annoy the lady to death and she'll let them leave with the stuff for free if she goes away. That's why we send Yaya out for these things, we get free stuff and banned from places. (Some sarcasm there.) The
plans were finally moderated
and we were ready for action, awaiting Yaya and
Kairi's return. Tadase has finally persuaded Tsukasa to let us skip as long as he got to play with Ikuto for a bit, which was a small
price to pay. Everything was slowly coming together now. And like I said before, slowly but surely.
Princess-chan: OMFG! SO SORRY FOR SUCH A SHORT UPDATE! I ran out of ideas for the chapter, I swear it won't happen again but fi anyone has any ideas then R&R and I'll most likely use them.
Rima: Damn, this is short.
Princess-chan: Thanks for the obvious Rima-chan, now please R&R with ideas!
