Rima's POV

I woke up to sunlight creeping into my room and complete silence. Papa must have already gone to work. After 6th grade, my mom pleaded with her boss to have more days off. The schedule was complicated so I didn't know when she was home or not. I looked at my alarm clock.

It said 8:40.

"Shit!" I thought as I scrambled out of bed. I grabbed my 7th grade uniform. The uniform had black coat with two rows of buttons completely covering my white button up shirt underneath.

The school didn't expect to have a student the size of a 7- year-old so my coat was too big. Luckily my mom put frills on my shoulders with extra material. I had a mini red skirt and socks that went up to my knees. I put my shoes on and rushed down stairs and out the door.

Later, at the School...

I felt like my lungs were about to burst as I ran up to the school.

"Well what do we have here? Tsk, tsk Rima, you should know better. You must get up early to get to school on time!"

Of all the former guardians I had to look up to find the most annoying of all, with his long girly hair, Fujisaki Nagihiko.

I lifted my head (he's more than a foot taller than me) and looked into his amber eyes. They glinted with amusement. He grinned at me mischievously.

"Don't use my name without an honorific," I turned away and started walking to the school building. "But since you were out here, doesn't that mean you're late too?"

I could him trailing behind me.

Inside the school I ran to my class. Luckily, Amu was in first period. Sadly, Mr. Cross dresser was also.

First period we had Nikaido-sensei.

"Mashiro Rima! Why are you so late?" He tsked and marked me tardy. As he did that 'Oh Mr. Teacher's pet' walked in.

"Sorry Sensei, I was talking to Rima about homework and we lost track of time... Could you not mark us for just this one time?" He flashed a smile at Sensei.

"Oh fine. Mashiro-san, since you're barely late I won't tell you off this time. Just get to your desks."

During class he was lecturing us about English history so I fell asleep...

Later at lunch

I met up with Amu, and we head off to the Royal Garden at the elementary school for lunch. When we entered, Tadase, Kukai, and Mr. C.d (I think you know what that means) were talking to the new King Hikaru Ichinomiya, probably about X eggs. Kairi Sanjou transferred back to Seiyo and skipped 5th grade so now in 6th with Yaya. He nodded to us as we walked in. Yaya and Rikka Hiiragi the new Queen were being hyper together. This year there was no Joker but Rikka could do open heart so there was really no need. We all gathered together at the table. We pulled in extra chairs so we could all sit down. We chatted around, talking about random stuff until Yaya and Kukai started a fake argument. They did these all the time so it usually didn't bother me. But this time it did. I covered my ears. I felt like I was at home. My parents were yelling. I felt the tears start to appear. I ran out of the garden.

Nagihiko's POV

Earlier I didn't see chibi devil in the halls so I knew she was going to be late. I waited for outside the school. I didn't know why I did that we argue all the time. She hates me. But I guess I like being next to her... The sound of footsteps interrupted my thoughts. It was little Mashiro-san, late for school.

I told her off for being late using her first name. As always she snapped at me, than started to walk to class.

"Won't you be late for class too?" she asked me with her back turned.

"Oh Rima, didn't you know I can make the teachers do whatever I want?" I thought as I smiled.

Later in class I told Nikaido not to mark us. He started to tell us about English history. Before he reached the white board, slipped and did his famous falling act. I glanced over at Rima, who was two desks over. I noticed she had fallen asleep.

"She looks so adorable when she sleeps... Like an angel..." I shook my head and wondered why I was thinking like that.

When class ended I met up with Hotori Tadase and Souma Kukai, probably the best friends (that were males) I'd ever had.

"Evening, Nadeshiko." Kukai said to me with a smirk on his face.

"Wanna wear a skirt again, Souma-kun" I smiled, remembering the time I forced Hotori and Souma into dresses when Souma realized I spent so many years in dresses and skirts. Then Amu and Yaya walked in while Tadase was already in the skirt (He really could pass as a girl.) and forcing Souma into one. Good times.

"Oi, let's get going." Every lunch we would eat with the current guardians. We headed off to the elementary area. Girls started to gather, asking for autographs. We ignored them and headed towards the Royal Garden. Luckily the girls weren't allowed in. Already there, were the current Guardians

Sanjou Kairi: Jack, Yaya Yuiki: Ace, Hiiragi Rikka: Queen, Ichinomiya.

"Kukai! Nagi! Tadase!" Yaya shrieked and rushed over to hug Kukai. Kukai had a happy smile on his face and ruffled Yaya's hair. Was there something going on between those two? Heh heh.

"Hey can you guys help us here?" Hikaru called from the table next to him was Sanjou-san. On the table, was a bunch of paperwork. I sighed as I followed Souma and Hotori-Kun up the stairs.

"The girls never do anything."Hikaru muttered to us boys."

Luckily the work it was really easy so we finished up quickly. Kari sat back relaxed the others started in conversation. I wasn't really listening I heard Amu and Rima walk in. I carried some extra chairs in so we could all sit down for lunch. Kukai pretended to be mad at Yaya. They started to yell. Suddenly Rima got up from her chair and ran out the door. I got up from my seat and ran after her.
