Chapter 4

If Nagihiko was a child again

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

"The x eggs are increasing! What's happening?!" Rima yelled as she and all her friends looked up at the millions of x eggs gathered at the sky above them.

The eggs sent a powerful blast aiming for Utau who had little time to move out but then, Kukai pulled her out of the way making her fall into his chest. "You okay, Utau?" Kukai asked. Utau looked at him, smiled then nodded. "Why aren't you in charanari?" Utau asked. Kukai then put his arm around his head then laughed nervously.

"Y-you see...I sort of left Daichi at home..." He said, nervousness spreading across his face. Utau then gave him an evil glare making him and everyone else sweat drop.

~~~~~~~~Rima's POV~~~~~~~~

"Minna! Look!" Yaya yelled a she pointed towards the x eggs gathered above us. My eyes widened in surprise. "T-they're..." I trailed off. "hatching!!!" Amu continued.

MURI MURI MURI

The x character kept saying muri. "Stop it!" Yaya, as dear baby cried. Yaya then put her arms in front of her. "Merry! Merry!" She chanted. A baby mobile then went flying towards the x charas but before it can take effect, the x charas attacked it with their dark energy.

Yaya did a long tantrum due to her failure. I then noticed the increase of the x charas. "Where are they all coming from?!" I asked worriedly. Only Easter can be responsible for thisbut we beat them so what else? My friends shrugged meaning they too did not know.

The x charas managed to trap us into one circle. "Holy Crown!" Tadase said, putting a staff n front of all of us. A yellow shield then spread, making us safe from the x chara's attacks. This isn't working out well. The x charas just kept on increasing! "Juggling Party!" I chanted as pins flew towards the x charas but they dodged it. I grunted. "Starlight Navigation!" Amu, as Amulet Diamond shouted. A golden globe then appeared in Amu's hands, followed by a powerful light from the globe then it started raining stars. Most of the x characters were affected and flew off but then, more came to take their place.

We all grunted. Never have I seen this many x charas! Utau did a charanari with Eru then did the move Angel Cradle. Most x charas were purified but the once that were purified were replaced by more x charas. Everyone kept using their special moves but then none were enough to stop the x charas.

"Blaze Shoot!" A glowing, blue disc came flying, knocking many x charas unconscious. The voice kept doing the move until so much x charas have been knocked out. We all turned our heads to see a young Nagihiko in charanari. He smiled at us then looked at Amu and Tadase.

"Amu-onee-chan, Tadase nii-san, go do your move!" He happily said. Amu swithched to Ran.

"Charanari: Amulet Heart!"

Amu and Tadase looked at each other then Tadase's golden staff and Amu's heart rod touched.

"Platinum Heart!" They both chanted. All the x charas then returned to their eggs and were purified. Everyone then undid their character transformation then turned to see Nagihiko.

Rhythm then subbed out of Nagi looking very dizzy.

"Nagi, How did you get so powerful?!" Yaya asked/screamed. "Double power! Nagi's more energetic than his chara!" Rhythm cried. Amu and Yaya giggled and I don't see why they would giggle at a time like this. I saw Ki return to Midori's bag and Midori continued to look at Utau. What the heck?!

~~~~~~~~Rima's POV: End of the day~~~~~~~~

I glanced anxiously at my wrist watch. It was 6:00pm. I have to hurry or Mama and Papa will get angry again. I said farewell to the guardians then ran holding Nagihiko by the wrist then headed for the outside of Seiyo Elementary.

This is the second time Nagihiko would sleep in my house. I managed to convince my mom yesterday to allow a little boy to sleep in our house.

"Don't slam the door" Mama told me as I entered the car. Nagihiko went inside then looked at me, concerned. You know why? Because every time I enter, you would hear my mom screaming and cursing over the phone and on the other line is my dad. They have been fighting ever since I got kidnapped when I was younger.

Once I got home, I ran for my bedroom with Nagihiko following behind then slammed the door shut. I headed straight towards my bed then bawled in my pillow. I didn't mind the fact that Nagihiko was here. He's a child, he wouldn't understand. He climbed next to me then started patting my back then I felt my face turn hot. I was blushing over a child! Over Nagihiko as a child!

"Rima nee-chan, it'll be okay" He told me. I couldn't help but smile. I then took this chance to hug him. Wait-WHAT?! I HUGGED HIM!!!

Now my face is really red. I then noticed how sweaty and dirty he was. I'm not surprised at all: getting stuck in huge trees, riding a wild bear, capturing every animal let loose in the zoo, running around in media, etc...Those things could get anyone tired. I sure do hope he knows how to bathe himself...I don't want to help him...

I stood up, my nose still red from crying. "Fujisaki, I'll go take a bath downstairs whiled you take a bath in my room bathroom." I told him, pointing towards a door I my room. "Then what do I wear?" He asked. I got a shirt from my fathers room then showed it to him.

"An oversized shirt"

"I don't wanna wear that!"

"I have a mini skirted pajama"

"Oversized shirt sounds good!"

I smirked. It is so fun teasing him considering the fact that he used to tease me in the past.

After the bath of both of us, Nagihiko sat on top of my bed. "Hey! Get off there! I have a mat for you in the floor!" I scolded. "But the mat is hard and cold. You sleep there!" He whined. I groaned. We had this agument the last time and let me tell you, the result wasn't good.

The room was almost dim dark with just one little lamp as our source of light. I looked at Nagi who was now asleep, facing me. I smiled softly then hugged myself to sleep but before I came into unconsciousness, I heard him mutter something.

I can't help but get curious of whatever Nagihiko is saying so I leaned my face closer to his. God! I'm being a pervert but I didn't care since no one was watching. I turned my head so my ear was only inches from his mouth.

"Tiny...Shugo charas..." He muttered. I giggled then looked at his face. He looked so innocent when asleep. He looked like an angel...Then I knew that this was going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Once he turns back into a middle-schooler, I would have to pretend...again...

"Rima-onee-chan..." He muttered. I giggled again. He's just so cute when he says that.

"I...hate...skirts..." That was hilarious! Pretending to be a girl can surely traumatize any boy!

Then his expression turned serious. It wasn't so childish at all...it was like...Nagihiko's! He then muttered something so softly that I had to lean closer.

"Mashiro-san" He said. I gasped. There's no way this can be him as a child! The tone of his voice is so...teen! Like the teenage Nagihiko! He only calls me Mashiro-san as a teen, never as a child. His expression then turned tense then he said again again "Mashiro-san..." I tensed. I leaned in closer. I wasn't going to miss a thing!

"Mashiro-san, I...like...you..." I stood up that very second, mortified. "Nagihiko...can you hear me?" I said, shaking him a little but making sure he doesn't wake up. He groaned.

"Say my name!" I whispered loudly

"Mashiro-san..." How old are you?!

"Thirteen..." He said groggily. I gasped.

What if Nagihiko thinks like himself when he's asleep? This is my chance to make a conversation with the teenage Nagi!

" ~Nee, Fujisaki" I said.

"Mashiro-san,...call me...Nagi..." He said in his sleep. I softly smiled.

"Okay, Nagi" I said, overjoyed.

"Oi, Nagi, you best-friend stealer" I laughed and he frowned.

"I thought you were okay with Nadeshiko so why..." He trailed of. I missed doing this.

"You're different!" I said, but then he nodded and rolled to the other side. I sighed. This was all I'm getting tonight and it's so disappointing...
