So hello, I guess. I'm Red. Sorry I haven't updated in, like, four days or something... I was at Santa Cruz (is that how you spell it?).
So, anyway... I got a complaint that all the different point of views were getting confusing, so all the fans of Nagi's point of view, sorry, I'm mostly gonna write in Rima's POV...
Thanks for Reading! And please review!
Rima's POV
I left school quickly, hoping I got home before the war started again. I kept running and running until I realized I wasn't going in the area I usually go through. The houses were unfamiliar, and it was quiet.
"So unlike the loudness of my neighborhood..." I thought bitterly. I tried to retrace my steps but I wound up at the same place again and again.
"Hey, little kid, whatcha doing without your mommy and daddy?" I turned around to see two men, one wearing sunglasses and a leather glasses, the other with his hoodie up. The hoodie man stood behind the sunglasses guy by a foot. I started to turn away, but one of the grabbed my wrist and forced me closer.
"Why are ya tryin' to run? I only want to play with ya...Hey, that's a middle school uniform... So I caught a shrimp... Shit!" I kicked Sunglasses in the shin then ran off, not caring were I was going just hoping to get away from those creeps... But as you know I'm the most athletic person in the world... (NOT!) They caught up with me pretty quickly.
"Come on little girl!" Sunglasses growled at me. I started to get scared.
"Kusu Kusu," I thought to my chara who was supposed to be sleeping in my bag. "Please, go find help."
She floated out of my bag and saw the trouble. She quickly flew away.
Please hurry... I prayed. Sunglasses put one hand in his pocket as Hoodie was just quietly waiting. Out of his pocket, Sun pulled out duct tape and a knife.
"One scream, little girl and I'll chop off one of your fingers!" Sun growled as he put duct tape around
Ooohhh nnooo... I don't want to go into a dark room; I don't want to be kidnapped... Someone help! Tears stared to roll down my face.
"Oi! Let her go!" Behind Hoodie, three figures immerged. It was Tadase, Kukai and Nagihiko! Floating nearby was Kusu Kusu along with Kiseki, Daichi, Rhythm, and Temari.
Sunglasses saw Hoodie and acted as if he didn't know who Hoodie was.
"You wanna fight me little boys? And how the hell did you get so close?" Hoodie grabbed Sun by the shirt and punched him. That confused me.
Sunglasses fell to the ground then scrambled away.
"Mashiro-san!" the boys ran up to me and unbound me. Hoodie just stood there watching. My legs started to shake rapidly and I grabbed on to the closes person who was unfortunately, it was Nagihiko. Hoodie seem to notice me faltering. I noticed he was as tall as Nagi (Dammit! I got to learn not to call him that!). He took off his hoodie, revealing, well... I couldn't tell if he was young or old, or if he was he or she. He had long brown and black hair with yellow highlights that was pulled back in a ponytail and had brown skin. But the strange thing was, he wore a bandana around his eyes. There weren't even holes for his eyes.
"I sense a chara!" Kusu Kusu whispered to me. I was only half listening.
"Who the hell are you?" Kukai growled menacingly at hoodie.
"I'm a Kurayami kage no," He looked around at us "Humph. A girl with problems she thinks no one can fix. A boy overshadowed by his family yet eldest in his own family. A prince who doesn't know his future self is nearby. (This is Red, quickly interrupting. Tsukasa Amakawa is known as Tadase's uncle, caretaker of the school, and founding king I think, I haven't read the manga in a while... So at the end of the manga, Kiseki goes up to the chairman exclaiming, "Tadase, I found you!" So pretty much Chairman is Tadase from the future...) and the heir of the Fujisaki Clan who is a little bit confused." He said in a rough voice as he gave a nod to Nagihiko... Suddenly my vision started to sway the next thing I knew was being in a sea of darkness...
Later... When I woke up...
I looked around. I was at home, in my room, in bed. But how the hell did I get here?
"Rrrrrrimmmaaa!" I looked to see Kusu Kusu. She landed in my hands and I snuggled her. Kukai and Nagihiko entered my room, and Tadase lingered by the doorway. Their charas were randomly floating. Wait a minute... They're in my room?!
"Get the hell out of my room!" I yelled standing up. My mind started to sway. Out of the shadows of my room the Kuryama- whatever appeared. He got up and put me in bed.
"I have younger siblings..." he muttered. He stood up and left the room. He came up with two cups of tea (I smelled it... The scent was strong.) He set it down on my desk.
"Make sure she drinks it all." I heard him mutter to the boys. And he left.
Downstairs I heard the door shut.
"How did you guys know where I lived?" I whispered to the boys. Kukai took the chair from my desk set it next to my bed. Tadase sat at the floor. Cross dresser sat at the edge of my bed.
"The Kurayami knew where you lived. He ran over took a pin from your hair, and picked the lock." started Kukai.
"I wondered how he did that with that bandanna... Maybe it was see- through..." Tadase said with wonder. Nagi didn't seem to be listening, just staring vacantly into air.
"You alright, Nagihiko?" I asked. He didn't answer. I sat up on my knees. I crawled over to him and slapped him on the face.
That snapped him out of his trance.
He said something very weird... I think it was in a different language. He laughed as he saw the confusion on my face.
"I said 'shit' in English. Anyway, I think I've heard the name Kurayami Kage- no before... It means 'Shadow of Darkness'. I can't remember where..."
"Oh, yeah!" Tadase said. I turned around to face him. "We need you to drink the tea that... uh... umm... the person brought in." Then I realized that I was the only girl in the room. I quickly grabbed my phone and ran inside my bathroom. I fast- dialed Amu.
"What's the matter Rima?" Amu asked as soon as she picked up the phone.
"I'm in a house with no girls minus myself. Can ya come over?"
"I'm with Yaya, so she'll have to come too."
"Okay, just hurry." I hung up and walked back to my room.
"Amu and Yaya are coming over. DO NOT tell them what happened." I glared at them all.
"What do we say then?" Kukai asked.
"Say that we were heading in the same direction so we decided to walk together, then I passed out due to the heat."
"Yes sir!" They yelled, saluting me. Nagihiko stared at me questioningly than looked away. As I drank the tea, (It was shitting badly!) Amu and Yaya arrived.
"Rrrrrrimmmaaa!" Yaya came crashing in and gave me a hug "Nagi! Tadase- kun! Kukai!" She skipped up to Kukai and jumped on him. Amu, Nagihiko, and I smirked at this behavior.
"So now that you girls are here to take care of Ms. Mashiro, I think it's time for us boys to take our leave." Kukai announced.
"But Yaya just got here!" Yaya complained.
"Well boys gotta talk about boy stuff and girls gotta talk about girl stuff."
Finally, Yaya agreed to let go.
"Ookkayyyyyyyyyyyy...Dammit, sorry Rima! My parents are out today so I have to take care of Ami! Bye!" She rushed out the door.
Yaya and I were just standing there, and then Yaya's phone rang.
"'lo? Yeah? But Mama, Yaya's having a play- date! Aaawww! Boo- hoo! Bye- bye." She glanced at me.
"Sorry, Rima- chan but Mama says Yaya has to take care of Tsubasa. Bye!" She gave me a hug and ran off. I wasn't worried about her taking care of her brother. When it comes to that sort of stuff, Yaya can become very responsible.
But now... I was all alone. I went up to my room and set out my homework. I thought back about Kurayami, and wondered why he helped save me.
I kept working on homework until I finished up all my homework except math.
"Damn, I hate this!" I grumbled.
"Aaawww Rima! Don't frown, Smile! Look look, silly face!" My chara floated in front of my face, and pinched her cheeks. I gave a weak smile. I heard the door slam downstairs. I rushed to stairs to see who it was.
"Mama!" I yelled
"Hello, dear. Don't bother Mama. Right now she's tired. Papa wore me out earlier over the phone."
"I did not!" I turned to see my father in the doorway. I didn't see him come in. My mother ignored him and walked to the kitchen. My father followed her. I heard them start up again. I curled up into a ball.
"No, now is not the time to be chicken." I stood up and walked in the war zone.
"Shut the HELL UP!" I screamed. My parents stopped to stare. Papa walked over to me his eyes flaring. He was holding a plate in one hand and his fist clenched in the other.
"WHO TOLD YOU TO INTERFERE?!" he roared at me. He threw the plate at the ground. It broke to shards. Some of the shards bounced up and cut me. One cut my cheek and some cut my bare legs and arms. He punched me on the arm. I started to cry. I turned on my heels and ran back to the safety of my room.
"Please God, Buddha or whatever; please send-"I cut myself off. There's no one in the world that could help me...
"Rima..." I looked at KusuKusu. In her place was her egg.
"You need to find someone who can help you beside me."
"Will you come back if I do?"
"I think so... But before that... Good- bye Rima... Go find someone who can make you smile again..."
"NNOO!" I screamed. How could she leave me all by myself? How can I make all the pain and the yelling go away?
"SOMEONE HELP!" I screamed inside my head. I collapsed on the bed and clutched KusuKusu's egg to my chest.
I blacked out.
