Hey everyone! I might not update as often in the future because SCHOOL'S STARTING. AND I DIDN'T GET IN MY FRIENDS' CLASS. To be nice to say, I got into the 'drama' class with a few...drama queens in my class. Do you get the point? Ah, should I add some drama kings too? This isn't going well, and my friend isn't in my class. Sigh.
Ah well. No one cares about my ramblings anyways. --goes sobbing in a corner--
Sorry about that.
By the way, the things in parenthesis are still Rima's thoughts, not mine. If they're mine, I'll usually put A/N at the beginning and bold the parenthesized words.
Ie:
Afterwards, Nagihiko died (much to my dismay).
Much to my dismay would be what Rima thought.
Ie 2:
Afterwards, Nagihiko died (A/N: Don't worry! He'll revive soon!)
That would be me talking to you. Alright? Cause I'm afriad some people might think what Rima is thinking is what I'm thinking, which isn't.
Also, the story will be from Rima's POV, unless specified. I wanna try to keep to Rima's POV though.
Anyways, enjoy the story! I had fun writing this one! Hehe!
(Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara! in any way)
Chapter 2: Nadeshiko's Secret Boyfriend
The week flew past quickly. Nagihiko and I got together occasionally to discuss our plans on our mistletoe idea, which produced fruitful results.
"So we have a 'mistletoe' corner for the singles to find a partner?" I asked, sincerely intrigued by his idea. He smiled and nodded eagerly.
"Yeah. Knowing Kukai, he's probably gonna get Utau over to sing for entertainment. And knowing Utau, she's probably gonna tell everyone to grab a partner for the last song to dance together. So if they're single, they might not have the courage to randomly grab a partner. The Mistletoe Corner, or rather a room, will be open at the last 20 minutes before Utau's last song, so everyone can get a partner and the dance will proceed more smoothly." I nodded, understanding Nagihiko's plan.
"Hey! I can't believe I'm saying this but good idea Purplehead!" I exclaimed excitedly, though Nagihiko sweat-dropped at the mention of Purplehead.
"Rima-chan…why won't you call me by my name? I'm not asking you to call me Nagi, but please at least Fujisaki-san? Not just random nicknames you've given me!" Nagihiko exclaimed. I actually remembered I called him Nagihiko a couple of days back, but he probably forgot. Looking at him, I couldn't tell if he was serious or just joking around. His face seemed to serious…so solemn…
"Fine…" His face lighted up, and I smirked, "…girly boy." His smile dropped and his eyes narrowed down to a glint, when his own smirk got itself stuck on his face.
"Fine…chibi devil." He said. I glared at him. He knew how I hated people calling me little.
"You are not allowed to call me chibi." I said seriously, while Nagihiko pretended to be innocently whistling.
"Hmm? You said something, chibi devil?" he teased. I glared harshly at him, but it didn't work. Finally, I gave in.
"Fine. Fujisaki-san, would you please stop calling me chibi devil?" I asked in a sarcastic polite tone. Nagihiko smiled.
"Sure, Rima-chan." It was pretty weird when I called him Fujisaki-san and he called me Rima-chan. But who cared?
"Alright. So we have 'Mistletoe Corner.' Why do I feel like we're doing Tadase's job?" I asked rhetorically. Nagihiko smiled.
"Cause we are." He replied simply. I sweat-dropped at his direct answer.
"Anyways, proceeding with the actual Decoration Committee plan…" Nagihiko said, grabbing out another stack of papers from his frickin' well-organized folder that looked like a girl's.
Situations similar to the above happened throughout the week.
"RIMA-TAN! AMU-CHII! NADE-NEE-CHAN! KUKAI! AND…EVERYONE ELSE!" Yaya exclaimed loudly, running towards the Royal Garden at target speed. Everyone sweat-dropped at her attempt to call everyone's names, cause there were a lot. There was me, Nagihiko, Nadeshiko, Tadase, Amu, Kairi, Kukai, and even Utau (in a disguise) and Ikuto. Utau insisted on coming, since she was singing at the ball, while Ikuto invited himself, as always.
"Alright. So…who's house are we going to?" I asked. Everyone turned to look towards Tadase, except for two people. Guess who?
No, not Utau and Ikuto. Any other two people that shared a house?
Yes: the Fujisaki twins.
"The Fujisaki household?" I asked before Tadase said anything. He looked at me weirdly and nodded.
"Yes, Mashiro-san. How did you know?" he asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Cause only those two aren't looking at you for your answer. And I realized they're the only ones who didn't bring their PJs and stuff." I explained. Tadase nodded, understanding what I meant. Then, suddenly, I realized what I'd said.
"WHAT? WE'RE GOING TO THE FUJISAKI'S???" I blurted out. Everyone sweat-dropped.
"Yeah…that's what you said…" Amu said. I looked around frantically for help, my eyes landing on Tadase.
"WHY?" I asked. Tadase seemed slightly taken aback. He probably thought I had killed someone there or something.
"Um…because Hinamori-san said her dad barely allowed her to go to the sleepover, and having boys over at her house would not be possible, Yaya says that if we slept over at her house, we'd need to take care of Tsubasa and deal with his cries in the middle of night and someone would have to switch his diaper, Kukai said that he had too many brothers, Ikuto-nii-san and Utau-nee-san said that their father had his music pieces scattered all around the house, Sanjou-kun said his sister was having a date with her boyfriend at their home tonight, and not me because my grandma…she's sick…so I can't make a nuisance. The Fujisakis have a big house, and no troublesome siblings, and an understanding mother. Of course, if you want, we can go to your house." Tadase pointed out.
I thought about it, but a split second later, I knew that it wouldn't be possible. The thought of one person sleepover-ing was weird enough, let alone…however many people there were.
"Awh…does Rima-chan really not like my house? Or someone inside…?" Nagihiko teased. I glared at him.
"Precisely because you're gonna be there." I hissed.
"So I was right."
"About?"
"You don't wanna go to my house cause I'll be there."
"Precisely. Cross-dresser." Dang, I loved that nickname, even though I promised to call him by his real name. Nagihiko flinched once more, looking slightly pained, and silently sent an SOS signal to Nadeshiko that I somehow noticed.
"Alright everyone. So we're going to my house?" she asked. Everyone nodded and Nadeshiko smiled.
"Alright! Let's go then!" She led the way, and I took care to walk at the back of the line, whilst Nagihiko was at the front. He probably felt the daggers I was shooting at him cause he didn't fall behind. He stayed right behind his sister.
Suddenly, Nadeshiko's cell phone rang. One in a Million by Miley Cyrus filled the air. Among us, Nadeshiko, Nagihiko, Kairi, Utau, Ikuto, and I knew English. Nadeshiko and Nagihiko because they both went to Europe before, Kairi cause he was just so smart, Utau because she had debuts around the world, including America, Ikuto because he went to Europe to look for his father, and me because, well, you probably didn't know but I came from Europe before coming to Seiyo.
"Nade…" Nagihiko began ominously, and Nadeshiko gulped. It was known by the…gang that Nagihiko was awfully overprotective of his sister. Nadeshiko didn't know if she should feel happy she had a protective brother or bothered she could never have a stable relationship.
"Um…I'll pick up the phone now…so…" Nadeshiko gulped at Nagihiko's evil aura spreading out, even towards us. Nadeshiko flipped her cell phone open and clicked on the green phone button, connecting the radio waves between her and who we assumed was her secret boyfriend.
"Um…yes?" Nadeshiko said vaguely into her phone. We couldn't hear what the dialer was saying.
"Well…now's not really a good time…" Nadeshiko winced when she saw Nagihiko take a step towards her. She took a step back, knowing he was aiming for her cell phone. All of us just watched. The non-English speakers had about figured out about Nadeshiko's secret boyfriend dialer. This happened quite often, and the results were always relatively amusing.
"Nade…give me the cell phone." Nagihiko pronounced each word slowly and clearly, yet in a chilling way. Nadeshiko gulped.
"Um…well…I gotta go use the bathroom now so…I'll call you back la—" Nadeshiko was cut off when Nagihiko suddenly lunged for her cell phone. To protect her cell phone, Nadeshiko shut the lid and quickly slid it into her pocket. Nagihiko was irritated he couldn't get her cell phone and lunged for her pocket, though Nadeshiko gracefully dodged out of the way.
"Um…so…minna…follow us!" Nadeshiko laughed nervously, as she ran off in a general direction down the street, with Nagihiko chasing after her. Kukai smirked.
"Hey, let's have a race to Nagi's home!" Kukai exclaimed. Everyone backed away, knowing Kukai too well. All, except for our one and only Hoshina Utau, who glared at him.
"You're on." She said. And before we knew it, the two of them had darted off while still holding their belongings in their hands. It was a miracle they were still running so fast while carrying their suitcases and glaring at each other while a smile flickered on their mouths.
"Well, I guess we should keep up before we lose them…" Tadase said. Ikuto charanaried with Yoru and carried Amu up, much to her protests, and led her after the racing Kukai and Utau. As for the rest of us, we slightly stared at the sight. Yaya must have been sugar high, because she blurted out, "KAIRI-KOI! LET'S GO TOO!" and dragged his arm, racing after Ikuto. Which left me and Tadase standing like two idiots, though we were the only two that were sane.
"Um…should we follow Yaya and Sanjou-kun?" Tadase asked hesitantly. I sighed exasperatedly.
"Yeah. Let's go." I picked up my belongings and followed after Kairi, who was being dragged by Yaya, who was following Amu, who was being held bridal style by Ikuto, who was chasing after the racing Kukai and Utau, who were glaring at each other while trying to keep a raging Nagihiko chasing after a fearful Nadeshiko.
We probably looked weird. Yet again, when were we not?
"Give me your name. Age. Birthday. Blood type. How long have you been dating Nade? What are you past experiences in love?" Nagihiko demanded in the phone. Most of us sweat-dropped at the scene, while Nadeshiko sighed tiredly.
"Onii-chan…" Nadeshiko tried, but Nagihiko silenced her with his glare.
"Fine. In 10 minutes. And if you're late, don't plan on even hearing Nade's voice ever again. In which I mean something will happen to you." Nagihiko said angrily and hung up the phone. He then turned around to face a slightly fearful Nadeshiko and smiled in a chilling way.
"So, my dear, dear sister Nade, I believe we have much to catch up on!" he exclaimed in a cheerful voice that made the situation much scarier. Nagihiko continued smiling his fake bright smile.
"So, I've invited that boyfriend of yours to come join in our little get-together!" Nagihiko spat out the word boyfriend. We all sweat-dropped. Nadeshiko seemed a bit tired.
"Fine. But I'll prove to you this time that Ryuu-kun's different." Nadeshiko said confidently. Nagihiko raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure, Nade? The last time you said that, I believe…that boyfriend went home cursing that he ever met you. Aren't you glad I took care of him for you?" Nagihiko asked rhetorically. Nadeshiko looked away. Suddenly, the door bell rang. Nagihiko checked the clock on the wall and walked over towards the door.
"Well, if it isn't Nade's boyfriend. Welcome to our household. Get your butt in before I kick it in." Nagihiko said harshly. We continued to sweat-drop as a fairly tall boy with unruly crimson colored hair and a pair of dazzling sea green eyes entered the room. I suddenly recognized him as one of our senpais, in Kukai's grade.
"Um…Nade-chan? Is your brother alright?" Ryuu asked hesitantly. Nadeshiko laughed nervously.
"Um…yeah…he's a bit…um…yeah." Nadeshiko trailed off. Suddenly, Ryuu caught sight of Kukai.
"Hey, Kukai! Long time no see, pal!" The two greeted each other with a weird guy's handshake and patted each other's backs.
"Arai! Never knew you were Nade's boyfriend!" Kukai exclaimed. Not the right thing to say.
"He might not be for long." Nagihiko said ominously, entering the door. We were in the living room, a door away from the waiting room, in which there was the door leading outside the household. Ryuu gulped and looked towards Nagihiko.
"Err…Fujisaki-san? Do you still need me to give you an update on me?" he asked. Nagihiko sat down on the sofa and motioned for Ryuu to sit down in a seat directly in front of him, a single couch. Ryuu took the seat. This was interesting. It was the first time we'd seen Nagihiko actually interrogate Nadeshiko's boyfriend.
"Yes. Name. Age. Birthday. Blood type. Everything, anything, and if I find out something's missing…oh, let's just say your head will be meeting Mr. Basketball soon." Nagihiko said, even though he was talking to his senpai.
Ryuu gulped and looked towards Nadeshiko for help. Nagihiko saw that.
"And no asking Nade for help on what to say. Tell me the truth, everything and anything about the truth." Nagihiko said. Ryuu gulped.
"Um…alright. I'm called Arai Ryuu. I'm a senior at Seiyo High School, and I'm turning 18 on March 24th. My blood type is B…" Nagihiko interrupted.
"Blood type B: stick to their goals. Less cooperative. Follow own rules and ideas. Individualists. Ruled by impulses. Continue please." We all gulped. Nagihiko seriously sounded really scary. Did he memorize the encyclopedia?
"Um…yeah. So…I've dated Nadeshiko-chan for about three months…" Ryuu said nervously. Nagihiko exploded and stood up.
"THREE MONTHS?? THREE MONTHS, AND I HAVEN'T NOTICED??" It sounded like he was blaming himself. Nagihiko took a deep breath and collapsed back down into his sofa. "So since the end of summer?" Nagihiko asked. Ryuu nodded carefully.
"How did you two meet." Nagihiko asked…err…more of demanded. Ryuu gulped and started their story.
"Well…there was a Beach Festival the school held for Kukai and my grade, remember? And then, Nadeshiko-chan was coincidentally there to deliver Kukai his basketball he'd left when he was playing with you at school. And so I met her and asked her to take a drink with me and she agreed. And so we ended up playing beach volleyball together and she and I won because she really could jump high."
"So you're dating her because of her sports ability?"
"N—no! Of course not! That was only the beginning. Then, we sometimes met at school and eventually, I got to know her better. She's sweet, caring, kind, polite, and nice, and I asked her out and she said yes." Ryuu finished, cautiously watching Nagihiko's countenance. Nagihiko studied Ryuu cautiously and finally closed his eyes. Silence enshrouded the room, and finally, Nagihiko opened his eyes.
"Alright. You still have a chance. Prove your worth to me before the Christmas Ball and I'll think about it." Unexpectedly, Nadeshiko was the one to burst out into cheers.
"YES! See, Onii-chan, told ja he'd be different!" Nadeshiko pointed out. Nagihiko looked at her, but glared at Ryuu.
"And I'm warning you, if you make Nade cry in any way, hurting her, cheating on her, unintentionally or not, make sure you reserve a room in the hospital for people in comas." Nagihiko threatened. Ryuu gulped and nodded, while Nagihiko turned and walked out of the living room towards the kitchen.
"Um…Nade-chan? Is he serious?" Ryuu asked nervously, forcing a laugh. Nadeshiko's face turned very solemn.
"Yes…" she whispered. "If you hurt me unintentionally, it'll be a less…painful punishment, but if you actually cheat on me…you can go ask my first boyfriend that I dated in 9th grade about what happened to him. I think he's in the hospital though, in his coma, so…" Nadeshiko trailed off, leaving us all imagining Nagihiko beating up someone. It was actually pretty hard, since he was usually all smiling and polite and stuff. Who knew he was so protective?
"Sorry…Ryuu-kun…" Nadeshiko said. Ryuu embraced her in a hug and smiled.
"It's alright. For you, it's worth it." He whispered in her ear. Nadeshiko chuckled and Nagihiko came back to the room fully annoyed.
"Do your lovey-dovey things somewhere out of the house, please, Nade. And you, remember our deal." Nagihiko glared at Ryuu, who nodded. Nagihiko then took a deep breathe.
Mood swing.
"Alright! Wanna settle down first in the rooms?" Nagihiko asked in his usual cheerful tone. We all sweat-dropped at the sudden change but nodded.
It was gonna be one crazy sleepover. Suddenly, three voices burst out at the same time:
"IKUTO! YOU BAKA-HENTAI-COSPLAY-NEKO! WHY'D YOU SUDDENLY CARRY ME?"
"KAIRI-KOI!! WE WERE TOO SLOW!!"
"Hah, Utau! I won! Now, for my reward, I want a kiss!"
The following reactions:
*smirk* (Guess who?)
"Um…g—gomen, Yaya…"
"WHAT?? I DEMAND A REMATCH!!"
And Nagihiko glaring at Ryuu, Ryuu gulping, Nadeshiko looking between the two boys, and Tadase trying to calm everyone down and horribly failing.
Was I the only sane one left? Perhaps.
Hehe! It was fun writing about Nadeshiko's boyfriend! Secret boyfriend! And as always, Nagihiko is overprotective...yes, I know, kinda cliched, but ah well.
Hope you liked it! Sorry for any mistakes, as usual.
~~*Hope-chan*~~
