Chapter 20
Yannami: Haha! If you guys know me, then you would know by now that I update fast if the chapter before took a looong time to update:))
I dunno why but it somehow became a habit. I know I am late but for now, this is my fastest so I am so sorry for taking long!
Rima: Whatever... What's important is that you updated. What poor excuse do you have this time for not updating chapter 19 and this?
Yannami: Um...School! You know...freshman can be a bit shocking so I had to work harder... ugh... and I somehow had to extend 2 hours and 30 minutes every Friday to finish this group project and...
Rima: Yannami does not own Shugo chara or any of its characters...except for the ones she made up. On with the story!
Yannami: Hey! I wasn't even done with my intro yet!!!
Rima: Okay make it fast!
Yannami: This chapter includes all the lovers in Shugo Chara (including Kutau, Amuto, Tadamu (Which meets with Kutau), Rikkaru and most of all, RIMAHIKO!!!)
Amu (Who somehow popped out of nowhere): On with the story! Yannami doesn't own Shugo chara and any of the characters (Except for OCs like Midori and Tanaka)
By the way, in this story, there are some things that will remain a mystery, even for Yannami. Stuff like Tadase, Amu, Kukai and Utau somehow ending up in a forest with no idea how they got there and how and where Kukai and Utau found a Ramen shop when the last time they were mentioned, they were in the mansion.
~~~~~~~~Normal POV: Kutau~~~~~~~~
A blonde twintailed popstar sat in a bench by the mansion's maze-like garden (More like forest) "Kukai is so slow..." She sighed as she rested her chin on her fist. The time seemed like hours to her and it wasn't long before the sun beam shone on her. She most definitely did not like it. "It's so hot..." She complained. She was about to stand up to transfer benches when a sudden shadow figure riding a skateboard shaded her from the sun's ruthless rays.
She gasped when she saw a brunette boy flying in an out-of-control- skateboard towards her. "K-Kukai!!!" She panicked as she ducked her head from the skate board she thought was about to hit her.
She stayed in that position a little while until she felt a hand on her shoulders. She opened her eyes then looked back to see the brunette holding his skateboard at the sides with his left arm while his right held onto her shoulders. "You okay, pop princess?" His expression showed concern and worry. Utau breathed a sigh of relief then looked back at him with a frown.
"You know, if you injure my face, I couldn't perform onstage. Well, I could but I would look horrible to all my fans" She sighed. Kukai just gave her a taunting smile then put the hand that was laid to Utau's shoulder behind his head. "Ahaha! Sorry about that! I didn't know that skating through a 7 meter ramp would put me in that uncontrollable situation, but hey! Look at the bright side! You're safe!!!"
Utau sweat-dropped then stepped on Kukai's foot with her high heels. He winced, grabbed his injured feet then jumped around due to the pain. Utau simply smirked. "So my female instincts to wear high-heeled white boot during a trip to the ramen shop with you was right!" She teased. Kukai thought for awhile. "Don't you consider it more as a date...? I mean...the two of us alone in a ramen shop, competing over ramen..." Utau blushed at what he had said then slapped him across the face.
"It is not a date!" She complained.
Kukai held the part of his cheek which Utau has slapped him across. "You know what, I'll race you to the ramen shop and I'll win!" He challenged.
Utau seemed to greatly accept the challenge for a blue lightning appeared from their eye; a great sign of pure rivalry.
"No. I'll beat you" She grumbled and before you know it, the two went racing to the ramen shop with no idea they were going the wrong way but hey! Maybe this mansion has a ramen shop somewhere in this garden!
~~~~~~~~Meanwhile: Amuto~~~~~~~~
"Hey, Miki! Please get me my soap!" Amu shouted from the shower. Miki sighed then floated towards a white, bubbly bar of soap. "Here ya go, Amu-chan." She said with sleepy eyes. Amu patted her guardian character in the head then proceeded on her shower. Little did she know that a huge, teenage neko-mimi was leaning against the door of her gigantic bathroom, putting in all of his weight on the door. "Ikuto, I'm sleepy~nya. Why are we staying in Amu-chan's room?" His chara rubbed his eyes with his right paw then floated onto Ikuto's right shoulder. Ikuto remained silent and serious, though. 'I need to tell her something...' He thought.
Amu turned off the shower hen reached for her towel...which happened to not be where it was supposed to be...
She panicked as she exited the curtains of her shower, only to see no cloth or anything to cover her uncovered body. If she didn't have Miki sleeping by the sink right now, she would've died. "Guardians characters can be really convenient." She muttered to herself. "~Nee, Miki!" Miki slightly lifted her egg. "What is it, Amu-chan..." "I...sort of left my towel in the room so I was wondering if you...could...please get it" She said, a shamed of her very mistake. Miki sighed once again then headed for the door then...opened it...
"Whoa!" Ikuto screeched as he fell backwards to the bathroom cement. Amu and Miki were dazed and silent. That is, until Amu spoke up.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, YOU PERVERT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
"Calm down, Amu..."
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN YOU'RE HERE RIGHT AFTER MY SHOWER!!! PERVERT!!!!!"
"Then put some clothes on"
Amu literally punched him out of the bathroom.
"YOU HENTAI COSTPLAY NEKO MIMI!!!" And with that, she shut the door closed again.
She used her curtain to cover herself. 'I can always buy a new one...' She thought. Miki did a drew, draw, drawn then she was in her ordinary clothes. At this, she breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the toilet scrubber then headed towards Ikuto.
Amu was literally hitting Ikuto while she creamed. Her face was as red as a tomato as she repeatedly hit him. "IKUTO!!! YOU IDIOT!!! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!!" Amu panicked. Ikuto was trying to defend himself from Amu's many strikes then grunted. "But there is something I want to tell you!!!" He cried. Amu placed the toilet scrubber above her head, ready to hit him again right after he says whatever he was going to say then eyed him.
"Tell me now" She threatened. Instead of sweat-dropping, shaking due to fear or teasing her, his face went serious as he said. "I hope you haven't forgotten that I love you, Amu. Even when you hit me with a toilet scrubber I'll still love you"
"W-what..." Amu was seriously redder than crimson. "I don't want to repeat myself. You know I'm lazy..." Ikuto said as he pinned Amu to the ground. "I love you" He said then instinctively leaned down to kiss her, straight at the lips. Her eyes widened at the sudden movement.
'What is Ikuto doing and...why am I not pulling back...M-maybe I'm in love with him, too? Wait! But aren't I in-live with Tadase-kun!? But then...it feels as if...I love them both justa as equally. Maybe-just maube- I really am in-love with Ikuto!' She thought.
Ikuto pulled away with a huge grin forming his lips (Amu secretly wanted more). "I knew it" He chuckled. Amu sat up then said while touching her own lips. "Knew what..." She said- flushing of course.
He smirked then looked at her. "You didn't pull away"
Amu held up her toilet scrubber once again then repeatedly hit him. "HOW CAN YOU RUIN THE MOMENT!?!?!?! BAKA!!!" She screamed as Ikuto tried his best to shield himself from this pinkette. "I seriously don't see how I ruined this moment!" He tried to say out loud but his voice seemed to be too soft compared to Amu's panicked screaming.
The door swung open, revealing a blonde boy in his sports attire. "Amu-chan, are you okay!?" He said, worry taking over. Amu looked up at him. "Tadase-kun!" She said (Almost sang)
"What's going on..." Tadase's eyes rolled from the toilet scrubber that Amu held right before Ikuto's face, Ikuto's bruised body and face, the fact that Amu was on top of Ikuto and the see-through curtain dress she wore and-WAIT!!! WHAT!?!?!?!?!?
'Amu-chan's dress is see through!?' Tadase thought as his face heated up as he stared at her. At the loss of her repeated hitting, Ikuto, too stared.
Amu finally realized where the two were staring then hugged herself. "GYAH!!! GOMEN ~NEE, TADASE-KUN!!! IKUTO, THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!! I'M GOING NOW!!!" She shrieked as she stumbled towards the wardrobe
Ikuto then whispered to Tadase. "Hey, Kiddy King...I only saw some flat surfaces, no mountains. How 'bout you. Did you have a good look...?" The heat in Tadase rose but then he whispered back, anyway. "Yeah but...it really is flat..." He mumbled back.
The wardrobe door opened as Amu came out. She was wearing a black blouse, magenta jacket, black ang grey tutu and silver boots. Though she was totally dressed up, she was still flushing. "U-umm...I'm going to a restaurant...Wanna come?" She said insecurely. Tadase nodded (Making Amu's eyes turn into hearts, her surroundings become as if she were in a fairytale and she starts imagining her 'prince' carry her off to a far away land in his great, white horse).
Ikuto shook his head (Amu secretly imagined herself sulking in a dark, dark place then somehow falls into a bottomless well, tears pouring from her eyes)
Instead of showing how she really felt, she turned her back from the two guys then said with the Yaya fish-lips. "Ok. It really doesn't matter whether or not any of you come but I'm glad one of you is coming anyway..." She said as she struggled to make her voice and tone as emotionless as possible but then, both guys knew her too well to actually be fooled by her stubborn attitude.
"Okay then. Shall we go, Amu-chan" Tadase hooked his arms around her, making her face heat up and her surroundings have once again turned into that fairytale and...Oh you get the point!
She stiffly nodded and just before they were going to exit. She turned to Ikuto then asked. "Aren't you coming, Ikuto?" She asked. Ikuto lay on her bed then closed his eyes. "Can't. I'm too lazy to actually go to some restaurant. I want to just doze off" He said. Amu secretly sighed in sadness then walked away, glad to still have Tadase.
"What restaurant do you want to go to, Tadase-kun? I haven't really planned it and I would be glad if you decided for me!" Amu said a slight tint of pink visible on her cheeks. Tadase thought for awhile then looked at her with a soft, heartwarming smile. "Anywhere romantic, Amu-chan"
~~~~~~~~Tadamu~~~~~~~~
"Anywhere romantic, Amu-chan" Amu stiffened then the tint of pink on her cheek has become a total color of crimson. "H-hai!" She said, a little too shakily.
Some time has passed and the two are now inside a train (A total crowded one, if I may add). "I cannot...breath..." Amu complained. A little too suddenly, Amu felt a certain force push her to the wall of the train. She looked and saw her prince pinning her to the wall. "T-Tadase-kun...what is the meaning of this...?" She said, her head bowed down to hide her expression other than the dark red that seemed to be glowing.
Tadase sighed. "It's okay, Amu-chan. It's not like people are staring and in this position, we could take up less space" He then smiled at her, making her heart seem to skip a beat. "Prince...if only I could show you enough how much I love you..." She said in a supposed to be whisper but unfortunately, he heard the word-
"PRINCE!? I WILL NOT BE CALLED SUCH THINGS!!! SUCH LOWLY COMMONERS BELOW MY GREATEST LEVEL!!!! I SHALL BE CALLED KING!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The people of the train seemed to stare then whisper with each other while Amu stood there, dazed.
"U-um...Tadase-kun...you're still pinning me..." She mumbled unfortunately, he was too busy laughing to actually hear Amu's plead.
After the train ride, the two walked in silence. "Amu-chan, I'm really sorry for what I have done during character change..." Tadase whimpered. Although she didn't show it, she was squealing and shrieking as if love arrows were hitting her in the chest at the sound of her prince's pleading voice. She replied with her 'cool n' spicy' tone. "Ts'okay. Nothing to really worry about..." She said in a sharp way.
Another awkward silence...
More time passes...
"~Nee, Tadase-kun..." Amu said, breaking the silence. "What is it, Amu-chan?" His head snapped up. "Where are we?"
"We're..."
"We're?"
"We're um..."
"We're...?"
"We're..."
"We're what, Tadase-kun"
"We're lost"
They both stopped walking as they looked around their surroundings. They were in a wide open park with little trees. "Where are we? Are we even still in America?" Amu wondered. Tadase looked at his map then sweat-dropped. "It appears we're in forest. See?" He showed Amu the map and her eyes budged open. "HOW'D WE END UP HERE!?!?!?! JUST A MINUTE AGO WE WERE IN THE TRAIN!!!!!" She exclaimed. She then shuddered. "It's very cold..." She went on. Tadase looked around then pointed at the nearby cave he found.
He pulled Amu the cave where they sat. Tadase let Amu sit and warm herself while he went to make fire with the wood he has gathered. "Luckily, I have tea powder. Now all we need is water and a cup" He looked around.
"I-I-I g-guess s-s-s-so Ta-Ta-Tadase K-kun..." Amu stuttered as her teeth trembled. Tadase immediately brought her to a tight embrace. "Everything is going to be alright..." He said as he hugged the now warm Amu. "Did I make you feel any warmer, Amu-chan?" He then held her cheek with his right hand. "H-hai..Tadase-kun...Very much..." She stuttered, this time, out of love.
He smirked. "If what I'm doing is making you feel warmer, then I will keep doing it" He cupped Amu's face, making her feel even warmer than before.
"I love you" He said then, without warning, pulled her face closer to his, his lips touched hers.
She was tiff at first and was thinking too much. 'Tadase-kun is kissing me! What should I do!? It is my first kiss with him and I love it!!! Tadase- kun is VERY aggressive today!!!' She thought.
It wasn't long before she, too was into the kiss. It soon became passionate until he pulled away.
"Did I make you feel warmer?"
"Very..."
A long whistle then came echoing to the cave. "Ohhh... We're we disturbing something..." Kukai said as he held his cell phone up (As if he had just taken a photo of their little make-out session) while Utau was behind him, her hands were at her waist and her feet were stomping. "Kukai!!! I told you not to disturb them!" She scolded, but Kukai didn't seem at all affected.
"Souma-kun!?" Tadase panicked. The faces of Amu and Tadase were immediately dark red.
Kukai placed his phone back into his pockets. "Oh this is just so great! I have blackmail for everyone! First, Nagihiko and Rima and now, you and Hinamori!!!" He chuckled.
Utau rolled her eyes. "You have pictures of the Queen and Jack!?" Tadase exclaimed. "You mean Rima and Nagihiko!?" Amu followed. Kukai chuckled while Utau took a step forward. "No we don't" She said.
"By the way, how did you both end up here?" Amu tilted her head. Kukai and Utau chuckled nervously.
"Well, you see..."
flashback~~~~~~~~
"Oh, look! There's the Ramen Shop! See, Utau! I told you I'd find it!" Kukai exclaimed as his eyes twinkled at the sight of their finding. "Utau?" She repeated due to the no response he got. "Utau?" He said again but when he looked, the female pop star was no longer where he thought she was. He sweat-dropped.
"Yo! Kukai! I beat you to the Ramen shop!" Utau yelled from the shop, making Kukai have this vain of irritation in his forehead, but then since he (Secretly) loved Utau, he simply just smiled.
"Good job, pop star queen!" He complimented, making a soft smile form on Utau's lips. "Arigatou" She said, making Kukai's cheeks go a shade of pink.
"NOW LET'S EAT!!! I CHALLENGE YOU, KUKAI SOUMA, TO A RAMEN EATING CONTEST!" Utau's face showed nothing else but the wanting of a good game. "You are on!" Kukai had the same expression.
~~~~~~~~End of flashback~~~~~~~~
"What happened after that?" Tadase asked. "Who won?" Amu wondered. "Well you see..." Kukai placed his arm behind his head, not sure of what to say until Utau stepped in.
"Do you know how you both got here...?" Utau wondered. Amu and Tadase shook their heads sideways. "There you have it!"
"Ohhhhhh!" Amu and Tadase had 'o' shaped mouths and were both clapping their hands. "Now how do we get out of her..." Amu wondered. Tadase huddled in an emo corner. "I guess we just need to wait for help..." He sighed.
~~~~~~~~Meanwhile: Rikkaru~~~~~~~~
Of course we all know that the guardians and friends aren't here today. But aren't you wondering how the temporary Guardians of Seiyo Elementary are doing? The temporary Queen and Kings chair seem to be getting closer.
Note* It may not be as fluffy since they're still so young, but these are like hints that they will end up together. By the way, I'm planning to make a sequel. What do you think?
"Rikka..."
"Yes...?"
"Do my eyes deceive me...?"
"Um...no."
"Okay then...WHY DOES THE ROYAL GARDEN LOOK LIKE IT HAS BEEN SWEPT AWAY BY A TIDAL WAVE WHEN JUST A MINUTE AGO, WE CLEANED IT ALL UP!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
"It's not my fault! You see, I saw, through the window this bird pass by and so I followed it but then I tripped over a banana peel and slipped, and my shoe went flying off for the...20th time today and...it broke the Royal Garden's ceilings! One of the glass particles hit the button of my self destruct remote button...for the 20th time today...and then BOOM!!! Waaahhh!!! Hikaru-kun!!! You've gotta believe me!!! It was the birdy's fault!!!" Rikka seemed to be sobbing and...for the 20th time that day...Hikaru was moved by those tears and ended up stroking Rikka's back.
"I'll let you go...for the 20th time today...but make sure it never happens again..." Hikaru said in a soothing voice. Rikka looked up at him, grinned widely then hugged him. (Is jumping on someone and pinning them to the ground a hug? Because that is what Rikka did...for the 20th time that day...)
"Arigatou, Hikkaru!!! Please don't tell Amu-sempai!!!" "Okay, okay, I won't..." Hikkaru sighed, making Rikka grin widely and kissing his on the lips. "Arigatou!!!" She cried with tears of joy. Hikaru simply wiped his lips with the sleeves of his uniform (although there was a hind of slight pink forming his lips)
"No problem..." He muttered.
"~nee!!! Let's clean up now! The earlier the better!!!" Rikka exclaimed as she grabbed a mop. Hikaru just sweat-dropped. "She keeps saying that. I know she'll mess it up again..." He muttered, but then, the sight of her doing her best made a soft smile form his lips. "Arigatou..." He softly said, meaning for her not to hear.
At the corners of her eye, Rikka swore she saw Hikaru smile softly. She smiled, too. "You're not bad..." She giggled then continued to work...
~~~~~~~~2 Hous later~~~~~~~~
"YAY!!! ALL DONE!!!" Rikka cheered. Hikaru wore a contented smile then sat down. Rikka sat beside him then grinned widely. "It's so much fun working with you!" She complimented. Hikaru's eyes widened, he blushed then turned away, the pink still visible. "Arigatou..." He muttered. Rikka smiled contented with herself and then... saw a bird pass by the window.
"Ohh! A birdy!!!" She pointed. "No, Rikka-chan!!! NOO!!!" Hikaru tried to grab her arms but he was too late. He closed his eyes, expecting the loud noise that he now knew so well.
-BAM
-BOOM
-MEEAAAWW!!!
-SMASH
-BAAM!!!
-BEEP!!!
-BOOOGSH!!!!!!!!!!!!
He slightly opened his eyes and sweat-dropped at the sight of what he was seeing right now.
She messed up...
For the 21th time that day...
Though she was clumsy, she was slowly changing him...giving him emotions and showing her the true essence of life...
"Arigatou..." He whispered for the 100th time that day...
~~~~~~~~Here comes the most awaited pairing!!! Rimahiko!!! It may be longer, though. Haha!!! Here it comes in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and~~~~~~~~
"You're slow. Go faster!" Rima had crossed her arms and was sitting at a swing, totally relaxed. Nagiiko grunted behind her, warm, sticky droplets pouring down his small, young chin. "It's not fair I get to push! At least wait 'till I get back at my real age!!!" Nagihiko screeched.
Rima got off the swing then sat under the huge tree that stood at the top of the park's hill.
Nagihiko then followed her. "It's peaceful. Reminds me so much of japan. I wonder how Rikka and Hikaru are doing...and..." She bowed her head. "I...wonder if mamma and papa are doing okay..." She whimpered. At the sight of this, Nagihiko automatically had her in a light embrace.
"I'm sure everyone's okay, Rima-chan" "But mamma and papa seem so close to divorce...what if...when I get back... they're already separated..." She sadly muttered. Nagihiko heard and understood and his face and expression was soon overwhelmed by pity and worry. 'Maybe Rima-chan is actually sad in the inside...
"Tell me..."
"Huh?"
"What about your parents?"
Rima seemed to have some second thoughts about telling him, but then her eyes clouded with love and trust then she started.
"You see, when I was younger, I was kidnapped. Luckily, I was saved but then ever since, nothing was ever the same..." She paused, as if something was tuck on her throat. She took a deep breath then went on.
"My parents always fought, they became over-protective and they never really did seem to understand how I feel anymore. It's all about safety..." She croaked, and it was quite obvious she would break anytime now.
"Th-the..."
She stopped then cried-not fake, but real tears. Nagihiko's eyes widened in surprise. 'This is a first! Rima-chan must be really hurt...' He thought. He patted her on the shoulder cautiously then she went on.
"They f-forgot what I need the most...love" She sobbed. It's as if his instincs have taken over him for he immediately brought her into a tight embrace.
"I can give you that" He said as he still hugged her. Now it was Rima's eyes that widened. I f you know the 'Rima and Nagihiko relationship', then you would probably know that Rima would normally pull away with and angry face and dark aura surrounding her but now, she was just a mix of emotions…
She couldn't seem to pull away now because his embrace somehow made her feel so comforted.
'Do I love him…?' She thought.
She was so deep in thought and so warm that she didn't even realize that they have been in that position for half an hour. When Nagihiko pulled away, she felt cold again. She started hearing the dreadful quarrelling of her parents in her head again.
He stood up (Though he was only an inch taller than a kneeling Rima). He eyed the kiddy basketball court with wanting. Rima slightly giggled.
"You can play, Nagihiko. It's not like you're my little brother or whatsoever" She blinked. Nagihiko grinned widely, thanked her then ran to the court.
Rima thought 'He's less in control. Maybe there are childish instincts in him although he thinks normally. He mostly craves for child wanting' she thought.
'Maybe he might go back to his original child mind…' She sighed at the thought then leaned back at the tree's wood.
'I wouldn't like that…but why not? I always seem to hate him, but I can't help but fluster at the sight of him: when he chuckles, when he smirks…
I wonder if he even has feelings for me.
I mean… He speaks, he chuckles, he sweat-drops…basically he's so calm around me. However, I am not calm around him…'
"Rima-channn!!!! HELP ME!!!" Her thoughts were disturbed at the sound of his voice. Obviously his. She did not really mind the urgentness of his tone and voice at first because she was feeling pretty bad because he has disrupted her day dream
"RIMA-CHAAAANNN!!!" She was brought back to earth when his voice became more urgent. Her head snapped up then she immediately looked around, hoping to see a safe teenage boy stuck in a five-year-old's body.
Unfortunately…she did not see a safe teenage boy stuck in the body of a five-year-old. Instead, she saw the teenage boy running away from this little girl around his age. Rima gasped.
'This is the same girl from before!!!' She thought. A flashback then came running back to her.
She remembers them.
She remembers entering the park's gates, only to see a pitiful-looking Nagihiko whose hair was all messed up, he looked so pale, too!
Of course, she wasn't like those other girls who would immediately help the ones they love. She simply laughed at his misery but little did she know that these girls were scarier than she thought…
She remembers…
…that traumatizing sight when this orange haired girl forcing him into a kiss. She remembers his struggle to get away yet her feet seemed too rooted to the ground.
She remembers the great jealousy she has felt. She even remembers their walk back home together.
"Nagihiko!" She wasn't going to let what happened the last time happen again. They may have gotten his first kiss but only she was going to take his second!!! "SHUT UP, YANNAMI!!! GOSH! EVEN THE AUTHOR'S EMBARASSING ME!!!
S-sorry…Rima… (Sweatdrops)
She jumped from the hill then unfortunately landed on her knees. "Ow…" She muttered.
Things seemed to move slowly in Rima's POV. She was sitting there. Defenseless. The sight would torture her again.
One of the girl's assistants grabbed Nagihiko by the collar then dragged him to the little girl with long, curly, orange hair. His hands and arms were being held tightly by the other members as the leader cupped his face in her little petite hands.
She giggled. "~Hey! You're cute!You're even sporty since you play basketball. You're my type!" Her voice was somehow like a doll's. Nagihiko shut his eyes, hoping for the pain to never come. Rima bowed her head in defeat
"CHARACTER CHANGE!!!!"
Nagihiko's indigo hair has somehow ended up in a ponytail. He held up a naginata then looked at the girls. His eyes turned vicious, making them all tremble in fear. He held his weapon above his head then screeched in Hiroshima language.
"NO ONE TOUCHES ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" He slashed across with the weapon but all members of the clique managed to dodge it. Rima sweat-dropped. Athough she would most definitely, totally, really, really love to watch this, she wouldn't like Nagihiko to be guilty all his life due to murders. (Sorry for the use of a Rudandant sentence!)
She was about to help out but then…
"Rima! Don't worry! Smile! Character Change!"
Rima didn't have a chance to react. Her body seemed to moved involuntarily. She let out a yuell of "BALA-BALANCE!!!" Escape her lips.
So the result: Nagihiko was chasing a bunch of little girls with a naginata that was waay bigger than him, the girls were all screaming and crying with Eru eyes. Meanwhile, in the background, Rima was doing Bala-Balance as if her life depended on it.
~~~~~~~~Nagihiko's POV~~~~~~~~
"That was…very…out of control…" I sighed. My legs were killing me due to all that running and I looked over at Rima. She, too looked exhausted. How useless. I hate being stuck in my young body. When I am back at my teens, I would simply carry her around until her legs would feel better.
"Nagihiko…"
"Yes?"
"Are you tired?"
"Yeah but I don't really mind" I said.
Thing is, I am drained! I'm not even sure how much longer I could walk!
Who knew that running around a huge park, carrying a naginata bigger than me and screaming at the top of my lungs would get me tired!? I sighed. Truth is, I am drained but Rima-chan is, too. If she were to help me, she, too would have a difficult time.
"I want to help" She started. I looked up at her. "Huh?"
"I want t to help. Specifically, you. You've helped me so much in the past and it would make me feel horrible if I know I couldn't return the favor." "But I like helping you, Rima-chan." "Same here!" She exclaimed.
I was taken aback by her determined expression. She really wanted to help, didn't she. But then again, there is something I would want from her. "Okay. You can help me with something" I said. She smiled. "What is it?" I smirked.
"Don't hurt yourself. No matter what happens"
She simply blushed. "Anything that would be a help to you! Not to me!" She exclaimed. I sincerely smiled at her. "You know what, Rima-chan if you get hurt, you're being selfish. I love you too much to actually let go of you" I sighed. Oh no… Did I just confess!? I looked up at her to see her expression. She was blushing. I slightly giggled at the sight but then it stopped when she spoke, "Nagihiko…what do you mean by love…?" She trembled.
"It mea…"
I stopped.
Why'd I stop!? Don't tell me I got scared at the last minute!
What's with you, man!? Just say the magical words 'I love you' and you would live happily ever after! Now go! CONFESS!!!
Wait…Who are you?!
Your mind's voice, dude! Who else!?
*Sigh* Now I see why Rhythm is like that…
Stop arguing with yourself and start confessing
*Sigh* So many dreams…So many dreams…
Just confess!
Not just yet
Fine! Go let Kirishima beat you!
I also wouldn't let that be…
Confess!
"Nagihiko?" My thoughts trailed off at the sound of her endearing voice. "Yes, Rima-chan?" I just love speaking in complete sentences in front of her.
"Aren't you going to answer"
Confess…confess…confess…
The word kept ringing in my head
"Nagihiko?"
"Rima-chan!" I said in a sharp way. She looked at me with that big, round, adorable eyes.
"I love you as a friend!" I said. Well…that ruined the whole confession thing… "J-just as a friend…?" She repeated. The voice then came back to my head.
Man…You messed up big time…
Where did I go wrong?! I told you she wouldn't accept!
She looks taken aback not because she isn't accepting you but because you said you loved her…JUST as a friend! Dude! Is that how you truly feel about her?
You know what, I'm not sure anymore!
Look beside you, man…literally!
I looked beside me, only to see that the petite blonde wasn't there anymore. Where'd she go… Maybe in the mansion?!
At the thought, I came running there.
I panted just before the gate. I stopped a few moments to catch my breath then went on. Man! I hate short legs! I would've gotten here half a minute ago if it weren't because of my small frame!
"Rima-chan?" My voice echoed.
"Rima-chan!!!" It echoed again.
Where in the world are the others? I ran around the mansion, not really sure where to go. I was running for a long time so I decided to rest in the bench of where I am now- the garden.
I collapsed on the nearby bench then fell to unconsciousness. When I awoke, it was sunset.
It was beautiful!
Now, back to looking for Rima-chan! I hopped around the garden, hoping to see a petite blonde and let me tell you, it's hard! I mean, with her small figure she could fit almost anywhere- and this is a MANSION! With my smaller figure, I can hardly walk a meter in five seconds!
"Rima-chan!" I screeched at the verge of tears. Okay, if you know me, I never cry but it seems that I still have child instincts on me right now.
"Rima-cha..."
"...he loves me...?"
I trailed off when I heard that little soft voice.
"...He loves me not"
I followed the voice that I knew was hers. Finally, I saw this small ball leaning against a sakura tree. (Wait. I thought sakura trees only existed in japan! Oh well...)
"He loves me?"
Rima was plucking out the leaves from a Sakura blossom that has obviously fallen onto her lap. I noticed that only three petals were remaining.
"He loves me not..."
"He loves me..."
She sighed in defeat and her hand fell limp onto her lap. She didn't even bother plucking the last petal out. "He...doesn't' t love me..." She mumbled. Her voice trembled. I then noticed that rose beside me. I picked it then counted the petals. I gulped then headed towards he, ready to give her the red flower that was in my hand.
Did I leave you at cliffhanger? Oh well...SORRY!!!
