Me: Ok sorry about all the miss-spellings and the shortness of the last chapter but I only had an hour to do it with no idea how to start it. Hopefully this one will be better. If you have any ideas for the story let me know and I'll see if I can fit it in or if there is something you want in it.
Me: Once again I own nothing I'm just a fan with no life. LOL! Enjoy.
In the middle of the night Nagi woke up his chest was hurting and he began coughing. Thankfully he didn't cough up any blood. He looked around the room, his mother was asleep on the couch and Rhythm and Temari were sleeping at the bottom of the bed next to his legs. He yawned and stretched. He didn't feel tired anymore but he was hungry. As he sat up he winded up waking Temari and Rhythm. The floated up towards his head. They both seemed relieved that he was awake.
"How are feeling Nagi?" Temari asked. "Any better?"
"Loads." Nagi whispered smiling. "How long has Mom been out?"
"Only for a few hours." Rhythm said. "You kept coughing and turning. She didn't fall asleep until the doctors gave you medicine to help with the coughing."
"Poor Mom." he said. "Did the doctors say anything about me"
"Not really." Rhythm replied. "All they pretty much did was poke you and check your…"
"Vital signs I believe they said." Temari finished for him. "But they did say you would have to stay for awhile."
Nagi sighed. "How long is awhile."
"Till they see fit." the both said together shrugging their shoulders.
"Go figure." Nagi said stretching again. He looked down remembering the look Rima was giving him before she left. "Hey, do you guys think Rima is mad at me?"
"I don't think." Temari said. "Her feelings were all jumbled and confusing."
"You like to make things difficult don't you?" Rhythm said giving her a long look. "She was mostly worried that you would be mad at her."
"Why would I be mad at her?" Nagi said resting his head on his knees. "It's not her fault I'm sick."
Rhythm shrugged. "We can really only tell the persons feeling that bore us but if another's feelings are strong enough he will be able to pick up on theirs as well."
Nagi sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm not mad at her. I mad her mad and she screamed. My head immediately felt like it was about to explode. How was she to know that is would make me start coughing up blood?"
"Nagi it's no ones fault." Temari said. "You're sick that can't be helped. Rima's just worried about you."
"Well I don't need her to be." he said angrily. "She never cared before she shouldn't now."
"Nagi." Temari said shocked by his tone. "Rima's a friend of yours of course she cares."
"She's Amu's friend." Nagi said. "Not mine, she doesn't mean anything to me. And it is her fault I'm here, I told her not to yell and she did."
"That's enough Nagi." Temari scolded. "You shouldn't say that stuff. Rima is our friend. Just because you don't always see eye to eye does not mean she isn't your friend. She is worried for you. She's scared that you're going to get worse. So don't say you don't care."
Nagi barred is head. Why would Rima care about him? All she did was complain about him and try to make things hard for him. She always called him a liar and a cross-dresser. Why should he believe that she cared whether he was sick or not. Didn't she know what she did to him? Would she even want to know?
Naig didn't care. If she didn't care about him why should he have to care about her? For the second time his tears betrayed him. He didn't love her and she didn't love him. That's the way it was and that's the way it would stay. She would never love him only hate him.
Nagi shook his head. Why did he care? So what if he had almost kissed her. Even if he did kiss her she would only hate him more. The golden haired girl was temperamental and was only friends with Amu. She put up with him only because he was part of the guardians.
"Nagi," Rhythm started. "Are you alright."
"I'm fine." he muttered lying back down. "Night."
"Nagi." Temari whispered. She wanted to say something but decided better.
Nagi laid there. Did he really hate Rima? Or was it the opposite. Did he like her? Or was something stronger than that. His eyes widened in the dark. He couldn't possible lover her. She hated him, why would he love someone like her? But whenever she was around he couldn't take his eyes off her. And whenever she was in trouble he would always jump in front of her so she wouldn't get hurt.
And he always defended her at school taking the blame. His eyes widened even more and held his breath. He did love her. He shook his head his heart thumping widely in his chest. What did he do now? The fact that he loved her scared him. But also gave him a feeling he was not used to. He didn't want to love anyone, it never lasted.
"I don't love her." Nagi whispered to himself. "I can't love her, love doesn't exist, it's not real." but no matter how many times he told himself that he didn't believe it. He knew deep down that he did love her. There was no way he couldn't love her. He was always worried when she didn't show up for school and mad when boys flirted with her or tried to make her cry.
She infuriated him easily. Was that because he loved her? He must love her even if it was only a little since he almost kissed her. He still wants to kiss her. Why did he stop? Was it because he knew he would just make her mad? Or was it because he was afraid that she would feel the same or was it because he was afraid she would push him away? Nagi fell into an uneasy sleep, dreaming an unusual dream.
Dream:
Nagi stood on a beach alone. He looked around wondering where he was. He turned around and saw a man standing behind him. He was farway and Nagi couldn't make out his features but Nagi knew he had seen that man somewhere before. Nagi stumbled foreward going to him wondering who he was. But when he got so close the man turned and started walking away towards a blinding light.
Then it struck him and he yelled out. "DAD! WAIT, DAD PLEASE WAIT."
The man didn't listen to him or he could not hear him either way he kept walking not looking behind him. Nagi's dad walked into the light. Nagi burst into a run following him into the light but once he was through was in complete darkness. He looked around seeing a light in the distance. The figure of a girl was standing there watching him it looked oddly like:
"Rima?" Nagi whispered. "Rima why are you here?"
"Do you hate me?" she asked her voice echoing through the darkness.
"What?" Nagi asked. Why would she ask that.
"Do you hate me?" she repeated.
"No." Nagi said truthfully.
"Do you love me?" she asked stepping towards him.
"R-Rima, what-what do you want?" Nagi said trying to move but couldn't, he was frozen. She stepped up to him and wrapped her hands around his neck.
"Do you love me?" she asked again tightening her grip. "I don't love you, I hate you. Love does not exist, it never did and it never will not for you anyways. You're going to die. You're going to die very soon."
She disappered and Nagi was left alone in the dark. Tears were rolling down his face along with sweat. He was trembling and he felt coldness sweeping through him. He was going to die? When? He didn't want to die.
"Nagi…" a female voice came the one that he had been hearing since he became sick. "You can't die."
"Why?" he asked.
"Because I need you." she said. "I need you to live."
"Who are you." he asked but she was over and the dream had ended. He felt himself in the hospital bed. He fell back asleep and dreamed no more.
Me: Ok so here is the 5th chapter. It's longer than the others. Tell me what you think. And like I said if you have any suggestions let me know. As long as they aren't about me not writing. Thank you for the wonderful reviews. I'm glad my first story is going so well.
