Let me apologize quickly about Rima. I have noticed that she's...a little crybaby. "Wahhh Kusu-Kusu's gone!" However, it is sad! And, Rima I guess is a drama queen. Well, besides the first paragraph, I will try to make Rima not a crybaby. If you love vampires, I hope you found Breaking Dawn...interesting. My opinion of it? Funniest movie of 2011! Well, on to the story. I own nothing! Enjoy!
"Rima-Tan come on!" Kusu-Kusu called. "Let's see the comedy show!" Rima was excited. They sat in the seats to see their favorite comedian. He was hilarious! Both of them giggled at every act.
"Those were the days…" Rima grunted aloud. She yawned, and stretched her arms. The bed had one of those comforters that they have at hotels. However, the bed was much more comfortable than any hotel she had ever gone to. It was even better than her own bed… Rima, still in her pajamas, stood up reluctantly, and looked out the window. It was foggy outside. It looked really early outside. However, when Rima looked at the clock, it read eight o'clock. That was still early. Whatever. Rima sighed, and sat down on her bed. There was a soft knock on her door. Rima looked up. The door opened with great struggle. Rima stood up, and helped them. It was Temari.
"Hello Rima-Chan, how are you?" Temari wondered. Rima looked at Temari surprised.
"I'm fine… Why are you here?" Rima wondered.
"I figured you might need company. Besides, the other two talk too much garbage about some stupid basketball thing." Temari said. That was true; Rima did need company.
"Thanks…" Rima whispered.
"Don't worry Rima-Chan!" Temari said. "I love spending time with you." Rima smiled softly. "I also wanted to talk to you about Nagihiko." Rima sighed. "He cares about you, more than you'll ever realize. He looks after you. Remember that Rima-Chan, he's always got your back." Rima looked at the ground.
"Yeah…" Rima said, slightly embarrassed.
"You aren't too familiar with this boy stuff, aren't you?" Temari wondered, smiling.
"No…" Rima admitted. "I mean, I have a lot of fan-boys, but I've never really dated anyone before…"
"I understand." Temari said softly. "Not that I'm exactly sure charas date at all…" Temari smiled. "It might come to you as a surprise, but Nagihiko's just as new at the dating thing as you are."
"I can see that." Rima said slowly. "He dressed up as a girl for most of his life."
"Yeah, he did." Temari said. "He did once have a crush as a girl. Well, two, but there was really no chance at him getting Amu-Chan…"
"H-He liked Amu?" Rima exclaimed. Temari nodded. "When did that happen?"
"He had an attraction to her… that's why he wanted her to be the joker." Temari said. "So, in a way, if he never liked Amu-Chan, she wouldn't have been the joker, and therefore, Easter would still be hard to fight and you wouldn't be the queen… Rhythm wouldn't have been born either!"
"Well, Tadase probably could have convinced her…" Rima pointed out. "Whatever… So, who's the other girl?"
"Oh yes… her name was Setsuka." Temari whispered. "No one at that point knew that Nagi was actually a boy. So, there was nothing he could really do to move their relationship. Eventually, Setsuka moved, making it easier for Nagi. Two years later, you came into his life." Rima blushed. "Obviously at first, he didn't have feelings for you. But later, he did develop a little crush for you that continuously grew into how it is now." Rima nodded.
"Interesting…" Rima muttered. "I guess I should shower…"
"I'll wait out here!" Temari promised. Rima smiled at Temari, and went into the shower that was also in the same room as the guest room. Rima thought about what Temari said. Nagihiko looked after her? She remembered when they fought X-Eggs and he jumped in front in front her, considering he had no charas to do anything else. He didn't help Amu or Tadase; just her. Also, he helped her when they were fighting Lulu. She had fallen backwards, and he caught her. Now that he had charas and she didn't, would she have to help him? Rima finished her shower, and got changed. She stepped out the shower, and sat on the bed beside Temari. She started combing her hair.
"Was the shower warm?" Temari wondered.
"Yeah…" Rima said. As strange as it sounds, Rima enjoyed the rich shower of the giant
Fujisaki Manor.
"That's good." Temari said. "We should go get some breakfast. Are you hungry?" Rima nodded, but she was slightly shy about eating breakfast with Nagihiko's family. There was a knock on Rima's door.
"Come in." Rima muttered. She thought it was Nagihiko, however it was Baaya.
"Good morning Mashiro-San. Would you like me to bring you some breakfast?" Baaya wondered.
"Yeah, thanks…" Rima said.
"What would you like?" Baaya asked.
"Uh…" Rima hesitated.
"The pancakes made by Baaya are amazing." Temari told her.
"I'll have pancakes." Rima said. Baaya smiled, and left the room. Rima looked at Temari, confused.
"The pancakes are amazing, trust me!" Temari said, smiling. Suddenly, Temari frowned. "Rhythm, I know you're here, and no, we aren't talking about boys." Rima looked up, as Rhythm floated out of behind the bookcase.
"Wow Temari; you know me so well!" Rhythm said, grinning.
"I wish I didn't…" Temari said sighing. "Where's Nagi?"
"He's helping his mother with something; I don't know." Rhythm said.
"How do you not know?" Temari wondered. "You were just with him!"
"Well, I don't pay attention to little details!" Rhythm protested.
"That's kind of important!" Temari hissed. Rima stared at the two of them arguing. It reminded her of herself and Nagihiko or herself and Yaya. "Rhythm, we're his guardian charas; we look after him!"
"Hey Temari, if what you're saying is true, does it mean that because Nagi has two charas, he needs more people to look after him?"
"No…he just has more than one dream!" Temari said. "If your theory was actually correct, then Amu-Chan really needs help!" Rhythm smirked. Rima didn't crack a smile.
"Rhythm, what did you do to my bed sheets?" Rima heard Nagihiko wonder. His voice made Rima's face turn bright pink. He walked into the room, dressed casually. He wore blue jeans and a blue tee-shirt. He looked really good.
"I-It wasn't me! It was Temari!" Rhythm moaned. Nagihiko cracked a grin.
"Rhythm. Even if I wasn't already good at telling a lie from a truth, you're really going to throw Temari as an excuse?" Rhythm grinned sheepishly. Nagihiko looked at Rima, her face instantly red. "How did you sleep Rima-Chan?" Nagihiko asked sweetly.
"I slept fine." Rima muttered.
"That's good." Nagihiko said. Footsteps were coming back to Rima's room. Nagihiko quickly tied his hair into a ponytail.
"Here's your food." Baaya said to Rima.
"Thanks." Rima said, looking at the pancakes. Baaya curtsied, and left the room. Rima looked at the plate of pancakes, and started eating it. It was probably the best pancakes she had ever eaten. However, they were so filling, that Rima couldn't finish.
"Rima-Chan, are you done?" Nagihiko asked. Rima nodded. "Alright, let's go."
"Huh? Where are we going?" Rima wondered, following Nagihiko who had already started walking.
"We're going to the Royal Garden." Nagihiko explained. "Even though we are on Spring Vacation, we're still having a guardian meeting." Rima nodded.
"…Am I going to be attending Seiyo again?" Rima wondered.
"I don't know…" Nagihiko admitted. "We'll try to make it work, I promise." Rima smiled softly. They arrived at the Royal Garden.
"YOU GUYS ARE LATE!" Yaya moaned.
"Sorry." Rima muttered.
"Huh? I thought the meeting was at ten? It's ten now." Nagihiko said.
"Yaya's just saying that because it is 10:02." Amu said. "Don't worry about it." Nagihiko nodded, smiling.
"Yaya's soooo jealous of Rima-Tan!" Yaya moaned. Rima looked at Yaya.
"Why?" Rima wondered.
"Yaya's jealous because Rima-Tan got to stay in Nagi's giant house!" Yaya moaned. "Yaya wanted to stay there!"
"Well, sorry." Rima muttered. "I'd give anything to be back at my old place…" However, Rima knew that was a lie. She hated her old place, where her parents fought every two seconds. "Did anyone hear anything new about them by the way; my parents?"
"No…" Tadase admitted. "However, I was just thinking… Maybe you should explain it to them." Rima looked at Tadase as if he had five heads.
"Tadase, the result of that would be terrible! Imagine telling them that you're alive, when they thought you were dead and telling them you were a vampire! That's totally going to go off well…" Rima said.
"I know that there are huge stakes, but… They are your parents Mashiro-San. They have a right to know that you're alive." Rima looked at the ground.
"I guess…" Rima muttered. "I need a day before I go up to them." Tadase nodded. "I mean, everything's just been moving quickly… I need one day to let everything come into-" Rima was interrupted by a huge bang outside. Yaya squealed.
"W-What was that?" Amu asked.
"I don't know… Let's go check it out." Tadase said. Everyone followed him outside. There were many X-Eggs. It looked like there were thousands of them that must have morphed together.
"W-What?" Amu exclaimed. Immediately, everyone, with the exception of Rima, transformed with their charas. Rima watched, feeling badly that she couldn't transform. She wanted Kusu-Kusu…
"Let's go everyone!" Tadase said. They fought of the X-Eggs. However, they were powerful, and kept shooting X-Energy. Rima watched, wishing she could help in some way. That's when an idea hit her. Why had Nagihiko never used Amu's charas when he didn't have a chara? Rima looked at Ran, Su, and Dia, the three charas that Amu weren't using.
"Ran… transform with me." Rima hissed at Amu's very first chara. Ran looked at Rima, and grinned.
"Wait." Both of them looked at Temari. "I'm sorry Ran-San, but could I transform with Rima-Chan?"
"Of course!" Ran said grinning. She put her thumbs up. "Good luck!"
"Yeah, good luck ~desu!" Su agreed. Rima looked at Temari.
"My own heart... Unlock!" Rima yelled. She was engulfed in the light like a normal transformation. Rima smiled at Temari who was also there.
"Are you ready?" Temari asked.
"Yeah…" Rima agreed. She closed her eyes. Temari went inside her egg, and went to Rima's skin. When her egg touched Rima's skin, suddenly the transformation began to hurt, just as it did with Kusu-Kusu. The pain was unbearable. Rima didn't know what was wrong, but she didn't care at that moment; the only thing on her mind was the pain. She started screaming, as the transformation immediately ended, and she fell to the ground. At first with Kusu-Kusu, Rima was able to complete the transformation. However, she couldn't now…
"Rima!" Rima heard Amu cry. However, Rima was shrieking and crying. She could still feel the pain. The pain subsided after a few minutes. Rima opened her eyes slowly to see her friends in front of her, looking at her worriedly.
"I-I'm okay… the X-Eggs…" Rima whispered. She started coughing a lot. She happened to notice something red come out of her mouth; oh god, she was coughing out blood!
"Rima-Chan…" Nagihiko whispered, worriedly. He took her hand. It didn't make her feel any better. She coughed up more blood, and before she knew it, she passed out cold.
"RIMA!" They all cried, helping her. Rima's eyes were closed. There was blood all over her face.
"W-What happened?" Amu exclaimed.
"Wait, she tried to transform with Temari right?" All eyes were on Yaya. "Before, Rima-Tan tried to transform with Kusu-Kusu. However, the same thing resulted, but it wasn't as bad as this! She was only screaming in pain…"
"We can't take her to a hospital…" Tadase whispered. "What should we do…?" No one said anything, when suddenly, the X-Egg-fused thing, tried to attack everyone. They all jumped back, Nagihiko holding Rima.
"Guys, I think it might have something to do with her vampire form." Nagihiko said, dodging the attacks. "I mean, I don't have much evidence, but the way she coughed up that blood…it might be she was coughing up the blood she digested when she was a vampire."
"That would make sense." Amu said. "But why was she in pain while transforming?"
"You said it was with Kusu-Kusu as well, right?" Tadase asked Yaya. Yaya nodded. "I would've said maybe because it was a different chara."
"Temari, what exactly did you experience when you transformed with her?" Nagihiko asked his chara.
"At first, we began the normal transformation." Temari explained. "However, when my egg met her skin, I felt this pain…" Temari shuddered. "It was probably the worst pain I have ever experienced. I think it was worse for Rima-Chan though…And then this happened…"
"Is she…breathing?" Amu asked.
"Yeah." Nagihiko said.
"Amu-Chan…why don't we try purifying the X-Egg monster?" Tadase said. Amu nodded. She ended the transformation with Miki, and transformed with Ran. They performed their purification, which they haven't done in forever, considering they broke up.
"Nagi-Tan, what's wrong with her?" Yaya moaned. Nagihiko looked at Rima sadly.
"She'll be okay…" Nagihiko tried to reassure. "We can try giving her some rest now… I don't see any better solution." Everyone went inside the Royal Garden, and Nagihiko placed Rima on two of the chairs. He leaned against the wall, with his arms crossed, watching her.
"Maybe we should get her some water…" Tadase said. "Amu-Chan, do you want to come with me to get her some water?" Amu nodded, and followed Tadase out of the Royal Garden. They went to the nearest grocery store to get a bottle of water.
"Uh, Amu-Chan…" Tadase started. Amu looked at him. "I, um, I know you have feelings for Ikuto… And I know that he means a lot to you, but, err… If he ever hurts you in anyway, I-I'll always be here for you." Tadase was bright red. Amu didn't say anything. They got the bottle of water, and brought it back to the others.
"Is she doing any better?" Tadase asked.
"She's doing the same…" Nagihiko muttered. However, none of them noticed, but at that second, Rima began to open her eyes.
I hope everyone liked the ending :D. Keep in mind, since I have very few followers for this story and I want to start some new stories, I am probably going to only have two or three more chapters :(. Well, REVIEW!
