There will be Nagi dressed as Nade in this chapter, and I will refer to Nade as 'her' to avoid all confusion.

Part 3: Giant Purses and Rimahiko

"Merry Christmas Amu-chan!" Said the purple-haired 'girl'. "N-Nadeshiko!" The pink haired girl in the door way exclaimed, "Come in! It's cold out there." Nadeshiko smiled, kira-sparkling like her brother, and tilting her head cutely, "Oh, okay!"

Amu got out of the way and closed the front door behind Nadeshiko, then threw her arms around her. "A-Amu-chan… Stop it!"

"Yes, Amu. Stop it." Rima said, glaring over Amu's turned shoulder at Nadeshiko. "H-Hello Mashiro-chan! Nice to see you again…" The nervous girl said.

Rima suddenly stopped death-staring at them and began to kira-sparkle, putting her heads together and also tilting her head sweetly. Two can play at this game, Nagihiko, Rima thought as she asked, "Where is Nagihiko-kun? Shouldn't he be here by now?"

Amu, oblivious, let go of Nadeshiko and looked out a window, "Yea, where is your brother?" Nadeshiko blinked and laughed anxiously, "Uh-huhuh… Well, I'm not sure! Maybe your parents let him in! I'll check upstairs!"

Rima smiled and continued fakely, "Of course, why didn't I think of that? I'll come with you!"

Nadeshiko's eye twitched, but Temari covered up for her, "Amu-chan, where are the rest of the Charas?"

Amu shrugged, "Probably pigging out in the kitchen. Go ahead upstairs, I'll catch up later!" Nadeshiko caught her arm as Amu turned to go deeper into the house, "Wait. Nagi and I got you a gift…"

She searched through the giant bag she had brought in and pulled out a box about the size of a basketball. "Merry Christmas!"

"Thank you!" Amu said, taking the present and then leaving them behind.

Rima looked up at Nadeshiko, "Kukai Souma, Hoshina Utau, and Yaya are already here. We're waiting for Hitori Tadase."

Nadeshiko rose an eyebrow as she started to go up the stairs, "Tadase-kun is late?" Rima nodded as she followed, dodging people she didn't know. There are a lot of people here.

"I'll just get to the bathroom and-" Started Nadeshiko as she knocked at the bathroom door. "Occupied." Said a voice.

"Damn." Muttered Nadeshiko, losing her high voice as it went back to Nagihiko. Rima smirked, "I guess you'll have to change in Amu's room."

Nadeshiko blinked, but followed the small girl as Rima led her to where Amu's room was. Only when she had locked the door did Rima realize she was locked in a room, ALONE, with a boy who was planning on stripping his clothes off, causing her to look at her feet and blush.

"I-I'll leave. Cover for you." She muttered as she unlocked the door, closing it behind her.

As the petite blonde closed the door, she sighed. Damn you, Nagihiko Fujisaki. Rima thought, blushing worse than ever as she stormed down stairs.

"Hey! RIIIIIIIMA-CHAN!" She heard a voice call. Rima looked around and saw Yaya making her way through the clots of people. "Where's Nadeshiko and Nagihiko?" She asked Rima.

"I don't know. Nadeshiko went looking for Nagihiko." Rima said, shrugging convincingly.

"Oh! Yuiki-chan!" Said a voice from behind Rima. She spun around to see Nagihiko standing behind her. He was wearing a red sweater, matching Nadeshiko's red velvet dress.

"Nagihiko!" Called Yaya, waving at the boy. "Where's your sister?" She asked.

"B-Bathroom." Nagihiko stuttered a little, twirling his hair with a hand.

"Really? I thought Kukai was in the bathroom… Rima told him that the bathroom would fill quickly and he should go early." Yaya said, and Rima tried to stifle a giggle.

"Oh? Really? Go get him for me, will you?" Asked Nagihiko with gritted teeth. Yaya smiled and went upstairs to get him.

" 'Kukai was in the bathroom'! 'Rima told him…'!" The purple haired boy complained to Rima, throwing his arms up in the air, exasperated.

Rima smiled, "Yes, well bathrooms do fill up quickly at parties." She looked up at him innocently.

He does have nice eyes, Rima noticed as he looked down at her, searching for the words to say. "R-Rima-chan…" He started. "You called me Rima." The blonde girl said in shock. Nagihiko seemed to be surprised with himself too. "I-Is that okay?" He asked, starting to blush a little. Rima turned away, hiding her hot face, "I suppose."

"Fujisaki! Rima!" Called another voice from behind them. Amu was coming towards them. "Where is Nadeshiko?" She asked.

"Bathroom." Nagihiko said, more naturally than before. "What? I just got out of the bathroom…" Said a voice from behind them. Damn it Kukai, Thought Nagihiko. Kukai had come up behind them with Yaya.

"She wasn't there?" Rima said smoothly, "She must have gone looking for another bathroom. Nagihiko, go look for her."

Sighing with relief, the boy ran up the stairs and headed to Amu's room. Thank you… Rima.

3 And Rimahiko there was. Well then, shall I continue? I will anyways. XD I know what's going to happen in the next chapter. It involves
