Sorry for the late update, but here's the next chapter! (Blame high school)

Alright. This chappie might be a bit weird. First of all, I have never played Seven Minutes in Heaven in real life (yes, I haven't). So...I'm not quite sure how the game goes. From all those chick flicks/girly books I've read, it's something along the lines of someone spins a bottle and whoever it lands on (assuming it's a person of the opposite gender of the spinner) you go into a closet with and (supposedly) make out for seven minutes. And then after seven minutes, they come out whoever it landed on spins and the whole thing goes again. So...something along those lines.

As for why in the world I called Seven Minutes in Heaven SEMIH (for SEven Minutes In Heaven), I have no clue. It's just funny how--whatever, just read and you'll find out :P Enjoy!

(Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara! in any way, nor do I own the game Seven Minutes in Heaven (does anyone?))


Chapter 5: Semi or SEMIH

The singing had left our throats parched dry, so we drank a lot of water in the next minutes. Finally, after the refreshments, everyone was back in shape for another round of games.

"LET'S PLAY SEMI!" Yaya exclaimed. Everyone seemed unsure how to react. Wait…what was Semi?

"What's Semi?" I asked innocently. Everyone turned to face me like I wasn't born in the 21st century (which I wasn't. I was born in the 20th. HA!)

"Semi. You know. Seven Minutes in Heaven." Amu tried explaining. I blinked.

"Huh?" I asked. But it sounded fun. Seven minutes in heaven, after all! It was probably gonna be fun. "Hey, that sounds fun. How do you play?" I asked.

Everyone stared at me.

"Um…Rima? You sure you've never heard of it before?"

"Even Yaya knows of it!"

"Stupid girl." Utau said, at which I glared at her.

"Hey, it isn't my fault I couldn't come to your previous sleepovers because of my overprotective parents." I defended myself. Everyone stayed silent for a long time, till Utau broke it.

"Hmm…how to explain…" Utau said. Everyone nodded in agreement. I felt ticked off that I was out of the loop.

"What is it?" I demanded. Everyone gulped. Heck, even Yaya, the hyperactive sugar high baby and Nadeshiko, the polite, ladylike girl knew what the game was and I didn't! I felt seriously lost. Everyone winced, probably thinking about how to describe it.

"Well…how do you explain it? It's rather awkward." Nagihiko said. Suddenly, everyone's face turned towards him and an evil smirk hung on their faces.

"Why, Onii-chan, why don't you show Rima-chan how to play?" Nadeshiko said pleasantly in a weird way. Nagihiko looked wide-eyed and gulped.

"W—what? Why me?" he asked. Nadeshiko glared at him for awhile but Nagihiko didn't budge.

"Yeah, Nagi. Show Mashiro how to play." Kukai insisted. Everyone joined in the chant.

"Girly boy, show shrimp the ties of Semi."

"Fujisaki, just go."

"Nagihiko, you'd be a great teacher!"

"NAGI-KUN!! YAYA FORCES YOU TO GO!"

"Jack, I believe you are the most suitable for this job."

Finally, I couldn't hold it.

"FINE. PURPLEHEAD, JUST TEACH ME!" I yelled out, annoyed of how I was seriously left out. It made me feel so…AGH! Left out!

For some strange reason, everyone burst out into laughter.

"Huh?" I asked. Did I say something wrong?

"N—no, nothing. Rima. It's just…HAHAHA…no, nothing, just, Nagi, go, teach Rima how to play…" Amu said between her laughs. I blinked. It wasn't nice feeling out of the loop.

Nagihiko gulped and turned his attention towards me. Finally, he closed his eyes and sighed, reopening them and looking directly at me.

"Fine. I'll teach Rima-chan. Sheesh." Nagihiko said. Everyone cheered. Was Nagihiko a really good teacher?

"Alright. Semi doesn't really require any materials. All you need is a closet. So, we're gonna use this one." Nagihiko motioned towards a small closet nearby.

"Now, both of us have to get in." Nagihiko said. I looked at him cautiously.

"How do I know you won't rape me?" I asked seriously. Someone snickered in the back while Nagihiko sighed.

"You'll know in due time. Just get in." Nagihiko said. I obliged, and afterwards, Nagihiko followed. It wasn't really small, so we had enough room that he was on one side and I was on the other. Amu shut the door behind us.

"Your 7 minutes start…now!" Someone…I think still Amu exclaimed from the outside, followed by a chorus of laughs. I looked up at Nagihiko's face, or where I predicted it to be, cause it was too dark to see.

"So…um…what do we do now?" I asked. Nagihiko sighed.

"This…is really awkward to say aloud." Nagihiko finally said. We remained in silence for awhile, making the atmosphere much, much more awkward. We then heard Amu's voice.

"4 more minutes! Hurry up!" And more laughter.

"Okay, don't tell me all you do in Semi is spend seven minutes stuck with someone in a closet?" I asked sarcastically. Nagihiko sighed.

"Do you really wanna know how to play?" he asked. I muttered 'en.' I really wanted to know!!

Nagihiko sighed again. And more silence.

"3 more minutes!" Amu exclaimed.

More silence.

I finally kicked him in the shin. Luckily, I got the place right.

"Hey, what was that for?" he asked, wincing in pain. I glared at him, wondering if he could feel it.

"You're not telling me how to play." I said simply.

"2 more minutes!" Amu exclaimed. I was growing irritated.

"I don't believe this is the game. Sheesh cross-dresser, whatever." I turned to push open the closet door when Nagihiko suddenly grabbed me by my shoulders and turned me back so I was pinned on the wall.

"Na—Nagihiko?" I asked, fearing what he was doing. Course he wouldn't rape me, but he was really scary. Even in the dark, I could feel that he was really serious.

"Do you really wanna know how to play?" he asked. I gulped and mumbled 'en' again. Nagihiko gave a final sigh. He took my wrists and pinned them on the sides of my head.

"Then don't blame me for what happens." I was going to ask him what he was talking about when I felt something warm on my lips.

HECK. NAGIHIKO WAS KISSING ME.

I didn't know how to react. I mean, sure, I've been kissed before, but by Nagihiko? It started out gently, his warm lips intact with mine, while eventually, he pressed harder and harder, making the atmosphere more and more heated. I still didn't know how to react, just frozen with shock.

I then felt something soft twirling on my top and bottom lips. It felt ticklish, so I opened my mouth, but then Nagihiko stuck his tongue into my mouth. It explored my mouth completely, and that was around when I started to respond. I kissed him back, and he let go of my hands and moved to snaking around my wrist, while I put my hands around his neck. Our tongues started to fight for dominance. He won though, and I went his way. He pushed me so hard onto the wall that I'd fallen down and we were making out on the floor by now. I felt my hands moving by themselves—

"Time's up!" Amu exclaimed from outside. I heard footsteps approaching, so I quickly pushed Nagihiko off me and calmed down. Nagihiko seemed slightly alarmed at my sudden reaction but understood. Amu then opened the door.

"Hey R—HEY!! EVERYONE!! LOOK! NAGI ACTUALLY DID IT!!" Amu exclaimed excitedly, who ran off to call everyone. I gaped. How did she know?

"Really? Yaya wants to see!" Yaya exclaimed. She then saw me. "OHH!! NAGI-KUN ACTUALLY DID IT??"

"Hey, girly boy, good job."

"I knew you'd be a good teacher."

"Onii-chan! I'm proud of you!"

"HEY!" I exclaimed, getting everyone's attention. "Why didn't anyone tell me about this game??" I demanded. They all looked at me weirdly.

"Didn't Nagi just tell you about it?" Amu asked slyly and I blushed scarlet red at the memory.

"H—how did you know." I asked in a quiet whisper. Amu smirked.

"Your position. Nagi's position. On the ground? Please. You must've pushed him off when I called time was up." How did she know?

"Yaya noticed cause Rima-chii's hair was messed up." Dang, that was right.

"Your tie is obviously bended and folded in a weird way."

"Also, if you look closely, both of your lips are swollen."

"And Nagi's clothes' first button is off."

"WHAT?" I screeched. I turned to look at Nagihiko who was half-kneeling on the ground. He was wearing our school's uniform, minus the black jacket. Sure enough the first button half-hidden under his tie. I blushed furiously at that. When did that happen?

"H—how the heck did that happen?" I stuttered out. Nagihiko's lips tugged into a smirk.

"Why, Rima-chan, you know perfectly well how that happened." Nagihiko said with a smug look. I blushed a lot more and kicked him in the shin once more.

"Ow!" he yelped. I glared at him and he gulped, re-buttoning that button up.

"Whatever Nagi. We're proud of you!" Amu said cheerfully. Though I stood up and continued to glare at them.

"Gosh, whatever. What a lame game. Anyways, I'd never do this with cross-dresser" I said. Though suddenly, I realized where the game was fun and smirked.

"And isn't it the others' turns?" I asked slyly. They gulped.

"ALRIGHT! All couples, please line up here and one by one, or rather two by two, enter your one and only Seven Minutes in Heaven closet!" Everyone else, including me (yes, I was currently single), Nagihiko (and him), Nadeshiko (cause Ryuu wasn't here), and Tadase (who was single, apparently), ushered them so eventually, Ikuto and Amu, Kukai and Utau, and Yaya and Kairi had their turns in the closet.

"HAHA! That was actually pretty fun!" I exclaimed after Ikuto carried out a furiously blushing Amu bridal style and placed her down after much protests. Amu glared but it turned into a smug look.

"So…you enjoyed your time with Nagi?" she asked teasingly. I glared at her.

"No." I said as coldly as I could.

"Awh Rima, don't be so mean. You know you responded at the end." Nagihiko teased on the side of me. I glared at him too.

"Well, that was only because I didn't know what to do in the situation. What was I supposed to do, just let you mouth-rape me? Sheesh." Eventually, the conversation quieted down. They decided against playing TOD, since we already played SEMIH, (yeah, it's spelled that way. I learned from Amu. But they pronounced it as 'semi') and decided to watch a movie and hit the sacks, since it was already 1:30 and we needed to go shopping the next day. We first washed up, cause Amu said we'd probably fall asleep in the middle of the movie. I went downstairs still in my normal clothes. Amu said it would be fine to sleep in those. So much for my PJs.

Into the DVD player went four DVDs (yes, they had the fancy DVD players too). First off, we watched a comedy. Utau fell asleep, and Kukai brought her back to her room. Then went in a chick flick, at which Kairi fell asleep and Yaya managed to wake him up long enough for them to go to their rooms to sleep. I also felt the fatigue getting to me. The next was a cheesy romance one, and I seriously felt the fatigue getting the better of me, but stayed awake. The last was a horror one…

"What?" Amu hissed as to not wake up anyone. "I'm…I'm not watching this!" I was too tired to point out it was because she was scared, and she scampered to her room, with Ikuto following her. I was scared a bit, but nevertheless decided to watch it with Nagihiko and Nadeshiko.

"AHH!" I yelled out. There was a creepy scene! The dude was shot in the stomach and blood and his guts were pouring out. Instinctively, I grabbed onto whoever was closest to me, who happened to be Nagihiko. I hugged his right arm tightly. He slightly tensed up at the sudden contact, but soon turned me over and patted my head, attempting to soothe me down.

"Shh…it's alright Rima. It's just a movie. They made it all up" But I was seriously scared. There was another scene of his head being cut open and his skull and brain and…UGH. I closed my eyes and laid my head on Nagihiko's shoulder, squeezing his arm tightly. I felt my whole body sweating already. It was so scary, that Nagihiko's words of comfort didn't prove of much use.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep before the movie ended.

----~~----

I woke up and didn't recognize my surroundings. I was wearing some silky garment, while under some blue covers, with something warm that I was holding onto, and something warm around my waist. I turned around to see what it was and was about to shout out when he cupped his hand on my face.

"Shh. It's still morning. Don't wake everyone up." Nagihiko said, muttering something else below his breathe. I was hyperventilating and hurriedly scrambled out of the bed. I panicked and shot questions at him.

"What? Where are we? Why am I here? When did I get here? Why are you here? Why—" I just realized what I was wearing. "Why in the world am I wearing such a slutty dress?" I demanded. My 'silky garment' I was wearing turned out to be a silk dress. It was thin black strapped, and the chest area was laced black strings, making my bra TOTALLY visible. As for the remainder of the dress, it was an opaque color of red down to the middle of my thighs.

"Yeah. I suggest you get some clothing on." Nagihiko said groggily, standing up and grabbing a suitable sweatshirt from his closet. I quickly put it on. It was really baggy but who cared?

I turned my attention back to Nagihiko and glared. "Why am I here? What happened last night? Did—did we do anything?" I stumbled out the last sentence. Nagihiko managed a laugh.

"Awh, is Rima-chan thinking dirty thoughts?" Nagihiko asked. I glared more harshly and he seemed to enter a flashback mode, at which I watched him thinking of how to give me a proper explanation of what in the world happened last night.


Woohoo! Another chappie done! Hope you liked it. Personally, I'm not experienced with kissing scenes (cause I've never kissed before. -_- Yes, I know. This authoress is so lame, writing about kissing scenes when she hasn't even kissed. WHATEVER!). So if it was in any way awkward, please forgive. I'm sorry.

Heehee. It was hilarious writing about how Rima felt so out of the loops and really wanted to play 'semi.' It was sooo fun to write! Whee~

Next chappie coming up this weekend! AGH. I have a Spanish quiz tomorrow! Wish me luck!
