Chapter 23
Rima's mom was sitting at a chair in a huge room
"Hello my Rima-chan" She said with a smile
"Mama? Your actually here?" Rima said as she walked towards her mother
The older woman nodded her head and stood up, as she hugged her only daughter. Rima smiled and hugged her back.
Nagihiko had a serious expression in his face, his mother notice this as well, "Is there something wrong my son?" She asked in a whisper
Nagi shook his head, "It's nothing mother, I know I should be happy for Rima-chan, but something doesn't seem right"
"Now, now, Nagihiko" Naomi patted her son's back, "I'm sure Mashiro-san will love to have as future son-in-law!" She said in a cheerful voice
Nagihiko respond with a blush.
"I thought you said you and Papa are busy?" Rima asked
Her mom continued running her hands at her daughter's hair, "We are, but I wanted to see you so badly, but your father is really busy with work right now, he left this morning to go to Europe..." Rima looked up at her mother, she could see sadness in her eyes, "For Business" Her mother than smiled.
Nagihiko's eyes widened, Something's not right.
"Mom, is Natsumi still here?" Nagihiko asked his mother, Naomi nodded her head, "Yes, I think she is still in her room"
Nagihiko nodded, "I'll be right back" He said and ran somewhere
"My, my, what does that son of mine have in mind?" Naomi asked and turned to look at Rima and her mother.
"I'm so glad you came mother! I missed you so much" Rima said
Her mother smiled once again, "And I missed you too Rima-chan, so tell me, how is school? How many friends have you made"
-With Nagihiko-
He ran through the resort looking for his cousin, he looked everywhere.
"Nagihiko, who are you actually looking for?! Your running a bit too fast!" Rhythm said, floating next to Nagihiko.
"Something is not right Rhythm, I could feel it, Mashiro-san is hiding something" Nagihiko said, "I was raised by my mother to be a great performer, I could tell she's lying"
"So why are we looking for your cousin?"
"Natsumi has a special gift, besides being a performer, she's could predict almost anything"
"It's nice to know that you still believe in my prediction Nagihiko" A girl with short tawny hair and golden colored eyes said, she was about the same height as Rima, and she was wearing a plain white dress with puff sleeves.
Nagihiko looked behind him and smiled, "Natsumi, I have a question for you"
The girl just giggled and nodded, "What is it Nagihiko?"
Nagihiko was about to take a step forward until a boy placed his hand at his shoulder, he had light butter scotch brown hair and deep brown eyes like Nagihiko, "What is it you want cuz?" He asked Nagihiko
"Don't be over protective Natsume" Nagihiko said and smiled, "I don't plan on asking your fiancé on a date or anything" (Natsume is Nagihiko's guy cousin :D while Natsumi is Natsume's fiancé! You'll find out what happened later)
The boy named Natsume just looked at Nagihiko with serious eyes, Natsumi smiled at Natsume, "It's true Natsume, he just wanted to ask about Rima-san's family"
"How did you know that?" Nagihiko asked Natsumi
She giggled, "It's a gift"
"And I helped her" A small guardian character came out of Natsumi's pocket, the guardian character had wavy blue hair and wore a white dress, her hair was covered with stars, "My name is Milky, Natsumi's guardian character, born from her desire to predict things, in short fortune telling" She said
Natsumi just smiled, "Mashiro-san, or to be more informed, Rika Mashiro, came this morning, requested by Fujisaki-sama, she was delighted to get the call, though her husband, Masaki Mashiro, had other plans." Natsumi said and looking at Nagihiko with a sad look.
"His not going to Europe? He just doesn't want to see Rima-chan?" Nagihiko said, in an angry tone.
"Watch the tone Nagihiko" Natsume said
Natsumi shook her head, "He is going to Europe, for other reasons though, and sadly, Rika-san knows about this"
It took Nagihiko a while to understand, "You mean, he has a mistress?"
"Something like that" Natsumi said, "Let's say, he picks that woman right now because she is pregnant, with a son."
Nagihiko's eyes widened, not only does Rima's father have another woman, but his expecting a son as well, Rima was going to be a big sister and she doesn't even know it. He could see Rima's reaction towards this, her fragile heart breaking into pieces, tears coming down endlessly, he didn't want her to go through that. NEVER.
"I know what your thinking about Nagihiko, please don't let your anger control you" Natsumi said and placed her hand at his shoulder and whispered in her ears, "The stars are telling me, as long as your by her side, she can get through it all. Just don't leave her"
"NAGIHIKO" Nagi turn to see the little petite blond girl watching them, she seemed irritated and hurt.
Nagihiko smiled at Rima, "Hey Rima-chan, I thought you were with your mom?"
Rima folded her hands and was tapping her left feet, "I was, and I wanted to introduce her to my boyfriend but guess what I saw? Apparently my boyfriend is busy with another girl" (RIMA IS SO JEALOUS :D)
Nagihiko smirked, "My, is my Rima-chan jealous?"
"WHY ON EARTH WILL I BE JEALOUS?"
Natsumi just giggled, "I think I'll take my leave right now, Natsume?" She turned to look at Natsume, who nodded his head. The two started walking. "By the way Nagi" Natsumi said, turning towards the two couple, "Rima-chan loves you so much, try and not to make her jealous, or even upset her"
Nagihiko chuckled and hugged his girlfriend, "Don't be jealous Rima-chan, it's just Natsumi"
"Who on earth is Natsumi?!"
"It's a long story"Nagihiko said, as he started walking with Rima.
Rima continued walking next to Nagihiko, "We've got a lot of time, after all, I think we lost our way back to the guest room" She said
"It's a really long story, but I guess I could summarize it, Natsumi was abounded by her family, Auntie Nina, Natsume's mother, found her in the forest, she adopted the girl, and named her "Natsumi" so Natsumi and Natsume grew up together, Natsume has grown attach to the girl and so did Natsumi. They are rarely seen separated. So Auntie Nina was happy about this, and proposed that the two will get married someday, none of them opposed about this." Nagihiko said
"Is that so, so she's already taken" Rima said, quiet relief, for a minute she thought that she might've met a rival for Nagihiko's affection.
"You don't have to be insecure Rima-chan" Nagihiko said as he placed his arm around her shoulder, "I'm all yours"
Rima smiled as she blushed, "Yah, I guess your right"
-With Rima's mom!-
Rima and Nagihiko were in the garden, sitting with Rima's mom, silence around them.
Mrs. Mashiro took a sip of her tea and placed it gently at the round table, "So Nagihiko, how did you and my Rima-chan meet?" She asked the young boy.
"Well, it was her first day at the boarding school, and she almost fell off the ladder, so I caught her before she could break anything, and I guess, that's how we met" Nagihiko answered nervously.
Mrs. Mashiro smiled, "I'm glad that you were able to save my Rima-chan, if something might've happened to her, I don't know how I would reacted."
"You don't know how many times he has saved me" Rima whispered, Nagihiko heard that and smiled.
She noticed the bracelet that her daughter was wearing, "You two should go and have some with your friends, I think they're at the music room"
"Thanks Mom, see you again later" Rima said and kissed her mom at the cheeks.
The two were about to walk to the music room, "And Nagihiko" Rima's mom said, making the purple head boy turn to look at the older woman, "Please continue watching over my Rima-chan, I trust you" She said
Nagihiko smiled and nodded, "I'll never leave her side, I promise"
-At The music Room-
Denieru and Namiko were at the music room, sitting by the piano.
"We have to go back to school soon" Namiko said,
Denieru nodded, "Your thinking about Hikaru, aren't you?" Namiko asked.
"I can't say I'm not, his still my little brother, and Easter has him" Denieru said looking away.
Namiko gave him a worried eyes, "After we beat Easter, and you got him back, what's next?"
Denieru shrugged, "I don't know, maybe if I get Hikaru back, we can both look for our grandfather"
Namiko's eyes saddened, does that mean he'll be leaving again?
Denieru noticed this, he knew what was on Namiko's mind, he didn't know how to cheer her up. He than started playing the piano in front of them.
"I got a lot of things
I have to do..
All these distractions
Our futures coming soon" Denieru started singing as he played the piano, Namiko just continued to look at him, trying to cheer up.
"We're Being pulled a hundred different directions
But whatever happens I know I've got you" They sang together, they both knew it was true.
"Your on my mind your in my heart
It doesn't matter where we are
It'll be alright
Even if we're miles apart" Denieru finally stood up and took Namiko's hand as they continued to sing, Namiko didn't even hesitate.
"All I wanna do, Is be with you be with you
There's nothing we can do Just wanna be with you
Only you
No matter where life takes us nothing can break us apart..
You know its true
I just wanna be with you" They sang together as they danced around, the two never wanted the song to end, it was times like this that they connected, whenever they sang. Denieru hugged her, his arms around her waist, Namiko's hand were around his neck, their foreheads together, there eyes meeting one another.
"I just wanna be with you" They both said at the same time. Little did the two know, Nadeshiko was watching her younger cousin, smiling.
"Good job Nami-chan" She said, happy for her cousin.
She continued to walk, after hearing the two sing, which reminded her how much she wanted to be with Kukai right now.
She saw a familiar figure across her, she couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing.
