HappyJunjou: OMG! I'm sorry for not updating! I don't know when the last time I updated was, I forgot!
Yaya: Besides that, have you seen the new Shugo Chara Party? Yaya has!
HappyJunjou: Yups! I don't really like Rikka that much though. Her voice kinda annoys me. I loved the part where Rima was mad because Rikka was staring at Nagi's cape instead of listening to her! .
Yaya: Was Rima mad because Rikka ignored her, or because she was touching Nagi's cape?
HappyJunjou: I think it's the cape! Rima's jealous!
Rima: What'd you say?
HappyJunjou: Erm...Nothing?
Nagi: Besides that, the theme song had Hikaru in a Seiyo Elementary uniform. Maybe he transfers? Rikka's love interest?
HappyJunjou: Then Rima doesn't have to be jealous.
Rima: DIE!
HappyJunjou: Sorry!
Yoru: Happy doesn't own nuttin' nya!
***Chapter 11***
Fire & Water
***Saturday at the Movie Theater: Rima POV***
"Amu-chan!" I rested a bit to catch my breath and then ran towards the pink-haired girl standing next to the girl in pigtails with orange pink bows.
Amu was wearing a black thin strapped dress that reached 11 inches above her knee, with pink frills at the bottom and top, with jean shorts underneath. She wore a loose chain belt across her waist, and a frilly black and white "X" hair clip. Her hair was curled and put up into a side ponytail. Yaya was dressed in a orange, yellow, red, and white plaid skirt, with a matching yellow and orange top with puff sleeves. She wore her hair in huge orange bows with small fake red roses inside. Lastly, I wore a pink dress with white ruffles and lace, and a denim jean jacket on top. As usual, I wore my hair down in a wavy puff, topped off with a pink headband.
"Now we just have to wait for Nadeshiko!" Yaya exclaimed excitedly.
"Shouldn't we go in line and get our tickets first?" I asked. Yaya shook her head happily. Knowing her, she'd probably be too impatient to wait in a long line for tickets.
"I already got tickets for us, and reserved a front seat!" Yaya squealed. I wonder how many allowances that took her to save up that much money. "I worked really hard to convince mommy for the money!" That explains it, she complained and whined like a baby to get her way.
"Where's purple head's sister?" I asked, my tone turning to disgust at even the slightest thought of her. I've never met her, what did she look like anyways? Maybe Nagihiko with a ponytail? I laughed to myself at that thought.
"Sorry I'm late!" A elegant voice sang from behind me. I spun around to see who it was, although I probably already guessed it to be Nadeshiko.
"Nade-chan!" Yaya squealed, halfway jumping on the girl. Amu's face brightened up at the sight of the previous queen, her ex-best friend.
The girl actually did look like Nagihiko with a ponytail! (lol...) She had long smooth purple hair, tied up in a ponytail, and was really tall. She wore a yellow sundress. I glared at Nadeshiko for a few seconds, and she cocked her head as though she didn't know she was a best friend stealer. I hated to admit, but she was pretty, maybe even cuter than me.
"So you are the new queen's chair?" She asked politely. I bit my lip, holding back an insult.
"Yes, I am." I replied. She smiled politely, and I forced a polite smile back, although I wanted to tell her off right then and there. It would've upset Amu if I did anything too dramatic, or fought, so I had no choice but to please Amu by pretending to get along with this girl. Still, it was hard to go so long without insulting anyone.
"So you're that best friend st-" Amu cupped her hand over my mouth, while Yaya stepped on my foot. I glared at her, and kicked her in the shin. Yaya started sobbing like a little baby while Amu released me.
"Rima! Please behave!" Amu begged in a whisper voice in my ear. I was about to fake cry to get my way, but then I remembered that those stupid Fujisaki's can tell the difference between crying and faking it. Instead, I just whimpered and did as I was told.
"Is Aiko going to come anytime soon?" Utau asked, joining the conversation as she impatiently crossed her arms.
"Aiko-chan!" Yaya screamed along with the other hundreds of fans waving their hands in the air like barbarians. I sighed and silently laughed to myself at their foolish behavior. Seriously, could they get any more idiotic?
A girl with black hair at her waist and glowing red eyes, smiled and stepped out of the limo. She was wearing a red gown with black lace. She waved to the fans, while making her way inside. For some reason, Aiko look very familiar, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
"Thats it!" I shouted. Everyone stared at me, and Nadeshiko nodded her head in agreement as though she knew what I was thinking or meant. Yeah, right. She couldn't have possibly understood.
"Um...I-it's nothing." I stammered, while everyone went back to their previous conversation.
***********************************************
***After watching the movie***
"Aiko-chan's outside the theater signing autographs!" Yaya announced, dragging us outside the theater to the long line in front of the stand Aiko was sitting at. The movie was actually pretty good, but I wouldn't say she's a comedy goddess or anything. After all, the main focus of the movie wasn't comedy, but the bits and slivers of it were good.
"Where are you going, Rima?" Amu asked as I turned to head back inside the building.
"Just to the bathroom." I stated. I glared at Nadeshiko and motioned for her to come with me. She stood still, so I stomped on her foot, until she finally agreed to follow me inside. Everyone seemed to be outside the theater for autographs, so the theater was empty. Good. I needed to have a private conversation with Little .
"What do you know about Aiko?" I asked in an urgent tone, getting right to the point.
"What do you mean?" She shrugged. I rolled my eyes.
"You know! You were thinking the same thing I was weren't you?"
"Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't."
"My only problem is how? Amu said that Nagihiko was in Europe when you were here, and only visited sometimes. He couldn't have told you. The only possible way he could've met her, was the times he visited Japan when he was young. But how would you have known her?" I asked. It was a bit confusing, but maybe Nadeshiko was just friends with her too. She would've mentioned Nadeshiko if they were friends though.
Nadeshiko stared at me nervously as though she didn't know what to say. This girl is so confusing. Her eyes went really wide, and she jumped on me.
"Watch out Rima!" I turned around to find a giant standee tipping over, about to crush my small defenseless body. I shut my eyes closed tightly, and waited for the impact, but it didn't come.
I figured that it was safe to open my eyes, so I did. I stared straight ahead in shock. Nadeshiko was on top of me, with the standee on top of her back. Besides that, her lips...mine...
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK! EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!"
Nadeshiko easily pushed the standee off of herself as though it was the lightest thing on earth. I was still screaming my head off, but who wouldn't? I just experienced the most horrible thing that could've happened to anyone! I was officially scarred for life!
"I just kissed a girl!" I screamed at the still calm Nadeshiko. Why wasn't she over reacting? Why wasn't she screaming and panicking too?
"Rima! Relax! You didn't kiss a girl!" She said in a low tone, that sounded exactly like Nagihiko. I didn't know she, an elegant girl, could pull off sounding like a guy. Besides that, why did her voice suddenly chang-
She pulled at the bow holding up her ponytail, and her hair fell down.
"N-nagihiko?" I choked. I didn't kiss Nadeshiko, instead Nagihiko? Or maybe it was vice versa? What? Was Nagihiko a guy or girl? "I get it." I said calmly. "You dressed up as Nadeshiko because Nadeshiko couldn't make it, and you didn't want to disappoint Amu." He rolled his eyes.
"I might as well tell you now. If I don't you'll probably figure it out on your own, and I won't be around to stop you or warn you not to tell." He sighed. "I am Nadeshiko." I blinked 3 times before breaking out into laughter.
"So you're a girl then?" He banged his head against the wall.
"Hell no! I'm a guy! Let me put it this way, Nadeshiko doesn't exist."
"So you're a crossdresser?"
"I guess, but I prefer you don't say that aloud. Can you keep a secret?" I shrugged, a bit happy knowing that I didn't kiss a girl, but Nagihiko instead. And I thought this would be a horrible day with Nadeshiko!
"I guess I can, but don't you think my fanboys will kill you for stealing my first kiss?" I said with a smile. He smirked.
"I was hoping you could keep that part a secret too." Nagihiko stated.
"I can, but it comes with a fee."
"What would that be?"
"You see, my parents have been having more fights lately, than ever. Their fights are becoming more and more loud and violent. Sometimes they throw stuff at each other, other times they scream names. I hate it. I don't want to be there during their fight, especially now, when they're getting more violent. I'm scared of getting hurt, so I need somewhere to escape to for a few nights. Just until they quiet down a bit. I was about to ask Amu, but my parents would never be convinced to let me stay at someone else's house for a while, unless their family is of a higher class. So I need to stay at your house, since you are a Fujisaki. My mother probably wouldn't allow it unless you were a girl, so you have to pretend to be Nadeshiko to them." I explained.
"I-I think I can do that." He replied.
"Good."
