New Chapter! I don't own Shugo Chara!

Rima and I both fell asleep right away after our thirty-minute conversation. The painkillers showed effect instantly, and Rima no longer gasped for air. The room was quiet, and I also fell asleep. Later on in the day, I would regret falling into sleep so quickly. I had dreams that night. Not nightmares, but something that sent shivers down my spine all day long. In other words, what I experienced that night was even worse than a nightmare. I dreamed about birds and buildings.

I was in the form of a little hummingbird, flapping my wings furiously, using all of my power to stay hovering in the air. I was high up in the sky, and I was slowly losing the power to fly. That was when I spotted a tall building a few feet away, and decided to take a rest before attempting to fly again. As soon as I had settled myself on the building, an eagle flew to the same building and sat next to me. After a few minutes of awkward silence the eagle started to talk to me, as if I was a long lost friend it had finally found.

"Don't run away, ever again. I'll follow you, and save you. You'll never succeed in trying to evade me" said the eagle, looking affectionately at me.

I stared at the eagle, confused. That was when I suddenly lost my balance, and fell off the building. I tried to fly, but it was no use. My wings didn't listen to me. I thought I was going to die, when the eagle swooped down and caught me in its claws. I felt a weird sensation inside myself, and the next thing I knew, I was inside the eagle's body. The last thing I saw before my dream ended was a little hummingbird falling to the ground, its eyes closed as if it were already dead. I had a feeling that I had lost something important to me.

I woke up with a start, gasping for air, and sweat trickling down my back. Rima was already awake, watching television, and she looked at me weirdly as if I had done something wrong.

"It's none of my business, but why were you flailing in your sleep? You woke me up at 6:00 A.M" said Rima, looking at me sleepily.

"Why are you asking me if it's none of your business? Plus, you woke me up at 3:00 A.M. Earlier than 6:00 A.M. You should learn how to read the time" I said, trying to calm down a little.

"You're getting better at arguing with me. It's a very weird talent. Anyway, why were you gasping? Should I call the nurse?" asked Rima, not sounding worried at all.

"Rima, you're a two-faced person. I'm fine. I was just having a bad dream" I said, ignoring the first two sentences Rima had said.

"Hypocrite" said Rima, eating cookies and drinking milk at the same time.

"You're a hypocrite too. Almost everybody in this world is a hypocrite, including me, so if you call me hypocrite your a hypocrite too" I said, coughing at the end of my sentence.

"That was repetitive. Let's just forget about this conversation. It takes millions of brain cells to figure out what you're thinking" said Rima, chewing on her cookie.

"Is that a compliment or an insult?" I asked, glaring at Rima.

"Both" said Rima, holding out her cup, so I could fill it up again.

It was late in the afternoon, when Rima told me that she was actually a famous fortune teller that roamed the world for a couple of months. At first, I didn't believe her, because I didn't believe fortune telling.

"Hahaha...you're kidding. That was so funny" I said, sarcastically.

"Alright, I'll prove it to you. Maybe if you realize what an important person I am to society, you'll have more respect towards me" said Rima, her head raised up high, full of pride.

"Alright...okay. You could try if you want to" I said, looking at Rima to see what she would say next.

"I'll predict what will happen to you in the future. It's the most complicated form of fortune telling. Pick three cards" said Rima, holding out the cards in the shape of a fan.

I picked three cards, and handed them to Rima. Rima put the rest of the cards down, and took the three cards from my hands.

"Okay, so...this is what the cards say. Listen carefully. Disobey. Important. Loose. That's it" said Rima, nodding to no one in particular.

"Only three words? Are you sure this is the most complicated form of fortune telling?" I asked, confused.

"Yes. These cards tell you your future" said Rima, shaking the three cards in her hands.

I tried to recall what had happened in the last few days. I remembered all sorts of things, Ikuto, the maze, comforting Rima...and the dream. I was going to loose something that was important to me? What was it? My life? My parents? My friends? Or...no, it couldn't be that person...

"I told you. My fortune telling is always correct. Do you remember any connections?" asked Rima, looking smug.

"No...I can't remember anything that relates to those three words. I guess you're wrong this time" I said, turning my body around to face the wall.

"Really? Are you sure you don't remember anything?" asked Rima, sounding suspicious.

"I'm sure. You're wrong this time" I said, confidently.

That night, when I lied down on my bed, I tried to reassure myself. Fortune telling is all fake. I won't loose anything important. Rima is all wrong...

Even then, I could feel that something was going to turn out wrong, and I was going to regret it.

Sorry. It's so short. I'll try to make it a little longer next time. Anyway, thanks for reading, and please review!
