Chapter 24

Nadeshiko 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.

"Hello Nadeshiko-chan" Natsumi said, greeting the purple head girl.

"Natsumi-chan, I didn't expect to see you still here" Nadeshiko said as she hugged her "cousin" Natsumi giggled. (A/N I bet you all thought it was Kukai :D your all so gonna kill me!"

"Neh, Nadeshiko-chan, why didn't you dance at the ball?" Natsumi asked

Nadeshiko gave her cousin a faint smile, "Oh, I didn't really feel like it"

"Or is it because HE wasn't there" Her cousin teased her.

Nadeshiko sighed, "That is true, i really do miss Kukai so much" She said then her eyes widened, "How did you know about him?" Nadeshiko asked the girl with tawny hair.

Natsumi just giggled, and winked, "I know everything, believe me"

"It's really hard being apart from someone you love" Nadeshiko said as the two girls sat down at the porch.

Natsumi smiled, "I guess your right, I couldn't imagine being apart from Natsume" Natsumi said

"Being apart from Kukai makes me realize how much I really love him" She admitted.

"More then dancing? You love dancing so much Nadeshiko, and you once told me nothing would come between you and your dancing" Natsumi asked her

Nadeshiko nodded, "I love him more than my passion, back then, I thought I'd never feel love or meet someone perfect for me, though me and Kukai are the exact opposite for each other, he just seems to be the perfect one for me" She said "And I love him so much, I would give up dancing if I have too"

"Is that true Nade-chan?" Nadeshiko's eyes widen, she knows whose voice that was, she dreamt about hearing his voice after a long time of being apart. She looked up, only to find his green eyes looking at hers. "Kukai-kun!" She yelled in surprise.

(A/N SURPRISED? :D HAHAHA I HOPE YOU WERE)

Kukai chuckled, "The one and…" Nadeshiko didn't let the boy finish what he was about to say, she had tackled him as she hugged him tightly, "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" She said

Kukai blushed and smile d as well, he hugged her back as well, "I missed you too Nadeshiko, a lot"

"How did you get here?!" Nadeshiko asked him,

"You should thank me" Namiko said, giggling as she and Denieru were standing in front of them

"How did you get Kukai here?" Nadeshiko asked her younger cousin,

Namiko still had a smile in her face, "Well, Nade-neechan, it was quiet hard" Namiko said and folded her arms, "Lolli and I had to character transform last night when the sun was rising and the moon was setting, and luckily I was able to transport to Kukai's place! And so yah, it's really a long story" Namiko said

"She fainted the moment they landed back here, luckily I was waiting the whole time and caught her" Denieru said.

"At less I did it!"

"NO WAY" The group looked towards their left, only to find Nagihiko and Rima standing there. "Kukai is here?! How is that possible?!" Nagihiko asked specifically no one.

Namiko sweat dropped, "It's a long story" She said

Kukai and Nagihiko gave each other a high five "Yow, Nagi, Namiko told me you and Rima are finally together! Good for you guys!"

Rima blushed and turned away, Nadeshiko was smiling, very happy that her Kukai was at her side once again. She turn to look at the porch and blinked, "Where did Natsumi go?" She wondered.

"This calls for a celebration!" Namiko said,

Suddenly one of the doors open, only to reveal Naomi Fujisaki (you know, Nagi's mom) "Indeed it does, we are having a small party tonight! Before you kids go back to school. It will be perfect! Kukai and Nadeshiko, as well as Nagihiko and Rima, dancing together, with no interference, Namiko & Denieru singing side by side again! It is just perfect!" Naomi said, going all fan girl mode again.

"I say that's a wonderful idea" Nadeshiko said, with a simple smile. She can finally dance with her Kukai.

-PARTY TIME :D-

The girls were wearing their fancy dresses once again, Rima was wearing a red dress which reached her knee with black laces around her waist, Nadeshiko was wearing a white dress this time, with orange ribbon, Namiko was wearing a light green dress with purple star patterns.

Namiko was on the stage once again, ready to sing once again with Denieru.

Denieru was already holding the microphone, this party was different than the others, because this time, it was more private, only the 6 teenagers along with Nagi's mom and Rima's mom where spending the night together, Natsumi and Natsume came as well.

"This song, is for Kukai & Nadeshiko" Namiko said.

Denieru nodded, "And I hope the three young couples would take the dance floor once again"

"Can You imagine?
What would happen?
If we could have any dream
I'd wish this moment
Was ours to own it
And that it would never leave"
Denieru started singing, Kukai offered his hands to Nadeshiko who took it right away, the spotlight on them.

"Then i would thank that star
That made our wish come true

(come true) oh yeah

Cause he knows that
Where you are is where

I should be too
" Namiko sang as well, looking at Denieru then to the couple dancing this time, Kukai was holding Nadeshiko's right hand and placed his other hand on her waist, Nadeshiko had her hand free hand around his neck.

"You know, we should really thank them, they did make our wish come true" Kukai whispered to Nadeshiko, she giggled, "Your right, they are the stars who made it all possible.

"Right here, Right now
Im looking at you and
My Heart love the view
Cause you mean everything

Right Here, I'll promise you Somehow that tomorrow
Can wait for some other
Day to be
(to be)

But right now there's you and me

Oh we know it's coming
And it's coming fast

As long as theres
You and me
(Oh yeah)
So lets make the our
Second last, make it last" Rima and Nagihiko were dancing once again, Nagihiko gave Rima a questioning look, "Why do you seem a bit nervous Rima-chan?" He asked her.

"My mom is here" She answered back, "I feel kind of shy, knowing she's watching us"

He chuckled, "What's wrong if your mom watches us, my mom did, and you weren't nervous"

"It's not that" Rima said, "My mom doesn't expect me to dance at all, let's say I never really liked dancing until you came" She said

Nagihiko smirked, "So your saying I changed your interest in dancing?" he asked her

She shook her head, "Not only that, silly" She said and smiled, "You changed my whole life, and I never felt this way before" She said and smiled.

"Well Rima-chan, you changed mine as well, and I can tell you this" He said as he twirled the girl and held her closely, "You changed everything for me, and I plan on keeping that change, and the person who inspired me to change" He said

"Right here, Right now
Im looking at you and

My Heart love the view

Cause you mean everything
Right Here, I'll promise you Somehow that tomorrow
Can wait for some other
Day to be
But right now there's
You and Me
(you and me)"Namiko and Denieru were still singing, he would usual reach out his hand and Namiko would take it, he twirled her around for sometime, then grabbed her for a hug, making the girl blush. They were looking to each others eyes.

Namiko then freed herself from the tight hug and started running around as she smiled, he smiled as well and started following her. She hid behind one of the curtains, while he was infront, she turn to look at the other side, thinking he wasn't their, but he then grabbed her for another hug, she laughed.

"Ohh you and me
But right here right now
There's you and me"

-hours later-

Rima's POV

I didn't know where I was right now, everything around me seems to be so dark now, I looked around, hoping to find someone. "Hello?" I cried out, but I didn't hear anything. OMG! Was I kidnapped again?! That can't be, can it?

"No Silly girl!" I turned around, only to find Mari, (A/NYou guys remember her? Right? Mari, Namiko's old best friend who works for Easter? Anyways..) She was in her character transformation form. "Your in the dream world" She said, so sickly, it disgusted me. "Or should I say, in your nightmare?" She chuckled bitterly.

"But your not alone, Rima-chan" I turn to look behind me, Namiko and Nadeshiko were standing next to me, in their pajamas. Namiko was looking at Mari, with hatred. "What is this Mari?"

Mari just smiled, "This is the nightmare world that I have created" She said, "With Easter's help ofcourse" She added

"How is it possible that we're all here?" Nadeshiko asked, no one in particular.

Mari laughed again, "Simple" She said, "You guys notice something missing?" She asked

It got me thinking, me, Namiko & Nadeshiko were the only ones here, Mari was here too, but in her charanari form, so that means she has her chara, while me and Namiko & Nadeshiko are defenseless, "She's trying to attack us when we're defenseless" I whispered.

Mari just nodded, "Bingo, not only are you guardian character less, but your boyfriends aren't here too" She said, "And no one can save you"

She was now floating, holding her dark colored broom, "It's time to finish you off" She said, "Red shards!" bloody red colored shards started heading our way, I thought it was the end of our lives.

"DOUBLE ECLIPSE" I heard a gentle female voice shout, only to find a moon & sun shield colliding and was floating in front of me and my two friends.

"Evil cannot reign in the dream land, I will never allow that" The girl had tawny colored hair that was worn loose but with pigtails that are styled higher upon her head. She was wearing a sleeveless top that has turquoise blue trimming while her skirt is made of orange and pink folds, she also had silver above-the-elbow semi-transparent gloves and she had wings like a butterfly colored turquoise blue and pink with deep chrome yellow outlining, she was wearing light blue, strapped barefoot sandals connected by a sideways crescent button, she was wearing a turquoise colored tiara too. Her wings was covered with yellow diamond and two orange stars.

She turned to look at us, "Are you guys ok?" She asked.

"Natsumi-chan!" Namiko & Nadeshiko said at the same time, she was the girl Nagihiko was talking to a while back.

"The one and only" She said, and smiling, she looked at me, "It's nice too meet you again Rima-chan, I am Natsumi, Namiko & Nadeshiko's, as well as Nagihiko's, cousin's fiancé" She said, that was just so confusing.

"What are you?" I asked her, looking at her once again, she looked like a fairy, if they exist and all.

She giggled, "I'm in my charanari form, silly" She said, and turned her attention to Mari, "As I was saying, as the enchantress of the Sun, Moon & Star, I cannot let you interfere in the dream world"

Mari just glared at her, "It's none of your business, If you want, I can finish you off first" Mari said, "Dazzle Dart!"

"Rising Sun!" a blast of magical light came out of Natsumi's hand.

She was now holding a sphere, with a crescent moon and star in one side and the sun in the other, She twirled it around us "Magic Stardust" She said, we were inside a force field or something. Unlike earlier , this place was completely bright, "You three must wake up" She said in a serious voice, "I'll take care of this girl, but you three should wake up and defeat Easter, right away" She said

"We can't leave you Natsumi" Nadeshiko said, looking at her.

Natsumi shook her head, "Go, and always wear this" She said and handed us something, "This will prevent you from being attacked in your dreams again, just go"

"Dawn of Light" She whispered, everything started turning dark again.

Normal POV

"KYAAAA!" Rima sat down, breathing heavily, Nagihiko sat up right away as well, "Rima-chan! Is something wrong?!" He asked the girl.

She hugged him tightly, "It was all a dream" She whispered, Nagihiko didn't understand what was going on, her run his hand at her long curly hair, "What's wrong Rima-chan? You fell asleep while we were watching T.V. you seemed so peaceful, why suddenly scream?"

"It was the dream" She said, and showed him a necklace, with a dream catcher as pendant.
