Author's Note:
I'm back! I'm going to say, I'm very sorry for RimaHiko fans, but there will be no RimaHiko(possibly, I'm still thinking about it.) And also Rima will not be a guardian, though she will be in the story sometimes... But not anytime soon. Also, since I forgot who Harumi was suppose to be as a chara, Harumi is now: Ayami's dream to be a fashion designer!
Enjoy!
"What?!" Ayami shouted even louder.
"Aya-chan," Magumi opened the door, "Are you okay?"
Ayami blushed, noticing how loud she was shouting, she nodded her head and Megumi sighed in relief. Megumi closed the door and went back downstairs to cook breakfast.
"S-so, Nadeshiko-san is a-"
"Yep."
"But isn't Nadeshiko a g-"
"Yep."
"So he must have a different name? I mean for a b-
"Yep."
"So... he's been lying to all of.. us-"
"Yep."
"Do..d-do you think I should um.. t-"
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"Because, if you tell him that you know, it would make things awkward for the both of you."
Ayami sighed in defeat, Harumi was right, if she were to tell Nadeshiko that she knew he was a boy, Nadeshiko would be very cautious, and probably not want to talk to her ever again.
"But I can't just.. keep it a secret.. I-I should atleast be able to tell him something..." Ayami explained.
"Well, if you need my help, you know I'll be there for ya." Harumi winked, making Ayami nod and giggle.
"Demo... I don't want to seem like., " Ayami sighed, "Well.. I know when I drift off.. people don't take me seriously.. "
"I just don't know how to handle this type of situation." Ayami explained. Harumi flew up to Ayami's shoulder, "Don't worry! I'll be by your side! Just try to do your best!" Harumi comforted, punching her fist into the air making Ayami giggle more.
"Well school does start in... 30 minutes?!" Ayami shouted, realizing the time. She swiftly put on her school uniform and rushed downstairs.
"Megu-chan! Megu-chan! We have to hu-... heh, Tadase-kun?" Ayami stopped, and she saw Megumi giggling at Tadase.
"Ah! Ayami-chan! You have a wonderful friend who invited to walk to school with you!" Megumi explained emphasizing the word 'wonderful'.
"I-I just came walking a passed your house so I was wondering if you were still here.." Tadase blushed, trying to explain. Ayami giving a shy smile and nodded, walking out of the house with Tadase. But Ayami knew something was going on... Now it was her to figure out, what was going on?
As they finally arrived to school, with 2 minutes to spare before class, Tadase and Ayami looked to see the other guardians waving at them.
"OHAIYO AYA-CHI AND TADASE-KUN!" Yaya shouted, waving rapidly. Nadeshiko scolded Yaya for shouting. Making Yaya pout a bit. Ayami looked at Amu, and Amu looked a bit upset, making Ayami slightly sad. She also noticed that Nadeshiko looked a bit angry too.
"O-ohaiyo-gozaimas.." Ayami greeted quietly. Yaya smiled and grabbed Ayami's arm, making her almost loose her balance. "So I-" Yaya started but the school bang rang before she could finish her sentence.
saved by the bell, everyone(except Yaya) thought.
"Well see you all at lunch!" Yaya said shrugging and running off to her class.
Amu and Ayami started walking to their class too, as everyone started to part their ways.
"Ne, Aya-chan?" Amu started, trying to come up with a conversation.
"Hai? Nani-ka?" Ayami asked, looking up at Amu.
"I-um.. Well, see you know Tadase-san.. right..," Ayami nodded in response, and Amu continued, "Well, do-do you.. are you.. inlove with him..?"
Ayami stopped, and tried to stifle a laugh. Failing she giggled and responded, "Well.. I only like him as a friend.. I'm not really interested in him.. that way."
Amu sighed in relief but Ayami asked, "Nande? D-do you like him?" And Amu blushed, and kept walking. Ayami took that as a 'yes' and mentally kicked herself for walking to school with Tadase.
As they kept getting closer to class, Ayami asked, "Amu-chan... do you think of N-nade-chan as your best friend."
Amu looked at her and nodded smiling, making Ayami have an even sadder look. "But don't worry, " Ayami looked up at Amu, "You'll always be my best friend too Aya-chan!" Ayami smiled at those words, but still felt bad for Amu.
Amu and Ayami arrived at class, seeing Nadeshiko playing Temari (not very noticeable though), yet Ayami was still a bit unease seeing Nadeshiko.
"Ah! Amu-chan, Ayami-chan, I forgot we were in the same class." Nadeshiko said giggling very girly. Ayami avoided looking at her.
"Yea, we should have another girl sleepover like that!" Amu said, quietly though, but Ayami still heard it making her eyes close. That's right.. If Nadeshiko is a girl then that means I... I CHANGED MY CLOTHES RIGHT INFRONT OF A BOY! AHHHH! Ayami thought, making a scared look.
"Aya-chan... are you alright..You seem constipated, should I take you to the nurse?" Nadeshiko asked, poking Ayami's forehead. Making Ayami shake her head rapidly.
"N-no! I-I'm fine... Sumimasen(excuse me)!" Ayami said rushing to the bathroom.
"Eeesh, keep this up Ayami-chan, and Nadeshiko will figure out you know his secret on his own." Harumi said, face palming.
"I know, I know... I'm going to have to tell... him.. in private... I can't h-handle this secret.." Ayami said, slightly panicking, making Harumi roll her eyes.
"Ne, Ne, I have a plan, after the guardian meeting, talk to Nadeshiko in private and I'll chara change you, so then you won't stutter, okay?" Harumi asked, trying to calm Ayami down. Ayami rubbed her eyes and nodded, getting up and going back to class.
"-Okay so that concludes the meeting today then." Tadase said, neatly putting up the papers.
"*Yawn*, Yaya is tired, Yaya is tired!" Yaya complained, crawling like a baby.
"Nade-chan.. can I talk to you in private?" Ayami asked/whispered to Nadeshiko, she/he turned around and nodded. They both walked outside of the Royal Garden where no one could hear nor see them.
Ayami immediately mustered up her courage and asked, "Why do you keep lying to Amu-chan?" Nadeshiko looked shocked, as Ayami looked a bit upset.
Nadeshiko put an innocent voice on and asked, "L-lying?"
"I know it,"
"Know what?"
"Your secret, THE secret, about how you are lying to Amu-chan." Ayami explained.
Nadeshiko looked frightened and slightly sad for a moment. In a quiet voice, he asked, "W-what do you know?"
"That you aren't a girl, and Nadeshiko probably isn't even your real name." Ayami responded crossing her arms over her chest.
"Aya-chan.. I ca-"
"Why, Why did you lie!? Amu calls you her 'best friend' yet, your just lying to her!" Ayami now had fire in her eyes, Nadeshiko looking even more frightened than before. Then There was a second of silence, before Nadeshiko stepped closer, and put his hand on Ayami's cheek, "Ayami-chan, I can ex-" But Ayami slapped him. Not his hand, but slapped him on his face.
In shock, Nadeshiko staggered back, with his bangs covering his eyes and feeling his cheek.
"I can't believe you! Amu trusted you! She was your best friend, yet you lie to her every single day like it's not a big deal!" Ayami knew she was taking it a bit too far, but she was way to chara changed to turn back.
"Not only are you going to hurt Amu, " Ayami had a few tears running from her face, "But I trusted you! And I thought we could be friends! But I guess I thought wrong!"
"I-I Hate you!" Ayami shouted, "I hate you! I hate you! I hate liars like you too!" She repeated. Nadeshiko inside, felt like he had just been stabbed in the heart a hundred times. And then, Ayami realized that she had gone too far. Temari and Harumi both looked sympathetic for Nadeshiko and Ayami.
In a moment of silence, Nadeshiko turned around and whispered, "Well.. there went my chance." Tears obviously running from his cheek, he walked away, leaving Harumi and Ayami. They turned around and also started to walk home.
"Harumi-chan we took it too fa-"
"I know."
"I think we hurt Nade-"
"I know."
"What do you think Nade-kun thought when he said 'Well the-"
"He was inlove with you."
"Well then- NANI?!"
Ayami stopped and stared at Harumi in shock, shaking her head, "No., no, no, no! He must've meant something different, it couldn't be that!" Ayami protested. Harumi sighed and rolled her eyes.
Don't Judge me I know it's short! Only because I'm preparing for a longer chapter!
Next So next chapter, Nadeshiko probably won't be around Ayami as much anymore ^-^, but don't worry, this isn't the end!
Enjoy! ^-^
