Recap

"I'm gonna guess Nagi gave you that on your neck," she said. My face went red. I told him he would leave a mark. He gave me a hickey. I covered it with my hand.

"Mom, could you take me Christmas shopping. I kind of forgot about it till today," I said hoping to change the subject. She saved me the embarrassment and agreed. Her and I spent that night frantically looking for presents for all my friends. When I got home mom distracted dad while I went up to my room and quickly changed into clothes that covered my neck.

Just a little heads up. If you don't celebrate Christmas then, I am sorry to say, you may be a bit confused. I hope you enjoy the chapter anyway

Chapter 30 All I Want For Christmas is You

*Rima's POV*

"Sissy! Sissy get up! I want to open presents and mommy and daddy said we can't till you get up!" I heard Azumi yell as she jumped on my bed.

"It's early," I whined throwing a pillow at her.

"Come on! The sooner you get up the sooner I can unwrap my gifts!" Azumi yelled as she began to beat me with the pillow I threw at her. She wins this round but only because I also want to see what I got. Both of us got up and was about to run downstairs but our parents stopped us.

"Not so fast you two," mom said. She was in silk pajamas that were wrinkled and she had bed hair. Dad wore some pj pants and an old tee shirt.

"You can't open anything till I get the camera," dad said then went into their room. He quickly came back with the camera.

"Rima, can you hold your sister?" dad asked. I picked Azumi up and she hugged my head.

"There's my two little girls," dad said.

"Dad! I'm not a little girl anymore," I whined. Usually my dad wouldn't say that in the other world. I really don't want to leave this but I know it can't last forever. I just have to wait for Tsukasa's call.

"Let's go downstairs now!" Azumi cheered. I put her down and we all ran down the stairs. After we opened all the presents we had cinnamon rolls and coffee/orange juice. I got some new outfits and gag mangas. I even got a few cosplay outfits. I felt too old for cosplay but then again right now I didn't care. Mom got Kazumi a few cute party outfits and accessories and Kusukusu some clown things like new little bowling pins and a ball to walk on.

"Sissy! Mommy helped me wrap your present from me," Azumi said as she gave me a present. I didn't wrap her present.

"Azumi, I got you something but it was kind of hard to wrap so I hid it in my room," I said.

"Really?" she asked excited.

"Really," I said.

"Open mine first!" she demanded. I unwrapped it but there was just a box. I looked inside and there was nothing.

"Azumi, did you forget to put it in the box?" mom asked.

"Maybe," Azumi said as her little cheeks turned pink.

"Let me go get it. It's probably in my room!" she said then ran upstairs. She quickly returned with her hands behind her back.

"Close your eyes," she said. I played along and did just that.

"Alright open them," she said. I opened to see the box was back in my hands. I opened it to see a picture frame. It was colorful with glitter everywhere. It looked like Azumi designed it by herself. There was then a picture of her and I together. I looked about ten and Azumi looked about one or two. I was holding her while both of us smiled at whoever took this picture. We had paint all over our faces and our hair was a mess but we looked happy.

"Do you like it?" Azumi asked a bit worried that I hated it. I gave her an assuring smile.

"I love it. Are you ready for your present?" I asked her.

"YES!" she yelled with excitement. I guided her upstairs to my room.

"You have to close your eyes," I said. She covered her eyes with her hands. I was about to get her present out of my closet but I saw her peeking.

"No peeking or you can't have it," I said. She quickly stopped peeking. She wasn't going to risk it. I quickly grabbed her present out of the closet. I set her presents on the bed. I, luckily, got all my presents done but I had Utau's help with Azumi's.

"Alright open your eyes," I said. Her eyes flew off her face and her eyes popped open. Her faced instantly lit up at what she saw.

"OH MY GOSH! HOSHINA, UTAU'S FAMOUS GOTH LOLITA OUTFIT! (the black outfit Utau always wears) ALSO AN AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE OF HER! SISSY! I LOVE IT!" she yelled. She was so loud that my hair was flown back and my poor charas had to hold on for dear life.

"Why don't you try it on," I said. She quickly changed then ran to her room.

"Rima, we got you something too!" Kusukusu cheered.

"I also got both of you something," I said. It turns out that they got me a cute headband similar to my black one but it was purple. I got them each a little something. I got Kusukusu a white clown tutu. It had red dots on it. What I got Kazumi was a small little hat. It was a small black fedora with a purple feather in it. When we went shopping I saw her staring at it in the toy section.

"Look, I can be a ballerina too! I can dance with Temari," Kusukusu said as she twirled in the air.

"Thank you Rima! I really really really love it!" Kazumi thanked.

"Thank you also," I said.

"Don't we have to meet everyone at the Royal Garden in about an hour?" Kusukusu asked.

"That's right! I better get dressed," I said.

~~~~*Time Skip*~~~~

"You look like you dressed to impress," Kazumi said. Mom was giving me a ride to the school since it's cold outside. There was a blanket of snow on the ground and the temperature is decreasing.

"I bet she's trying to impress Nagi," Kusukusu said.

"You're the same with Rhythm," I said. She asked Kazumi if she could borrow a cute outfit and have Kazumi do her makeup. She wore a red dress that was a bit tight on the top but it was puffy on the bottom. She wore a little red headband instead of her clown hat. She had little makeup but her lips were ruby red.

"But you wore purple, which is Nagi's favorite color. Rhythm's is blue not red," Kusukusu pointed out.

"I wore purple to match the headband you guys gave me," I said. It's true that I wore purple because of Nagi but my pride didn't want to admit it. I wore a nice button-up, light purple blouse with black skinny jeans that had a purple stripe down it and some nice purple tennis shoes. I would've worn flats but it's too cold for that.

"We're here. Do you need help carrying everything in?" mom asked.

"No, I got it," I said. My mom was nice enough to put all of my wrapped gifts into a laundry basket so I could carry everything.

"Bye Rima, I'll pick you up later," mom said then left. I just noticed how heavy everything was.

"Do you need some help Mashiro-san?" I looked to see Tadase. He looked much better than last night. I decided that help would be great.

"Yes please," I said. I handed him the basket and he carried it for me. Him and I began to walk to the Royal Garden.

"Mashiro-san, it seems that ever since you came to Seiyo, you've been a matchmaker," he said. I looked up at him, not sure where he was going with this.

"I know that you paired Utau-onee and Kukai-kun together, you ever sort of worked on Yaya and Kairi even though you didn't mean to, you also paired up Hinamori-san and Ikuto-nii up," he said. I bet he hates me for not putting him and Amu together.

"What I'm really I'm trying to say is... thank you," he said.

"What?" my charas and I said confused.

"Fools! Tadase just thanked you," Kiseki said.

"Why? I told a girl that you liked to date another guy" I asked shocked.

"Hinamori-san has been torn between Ikuto-nii and me for years. I'm glad you helped her decide. I admit I am disappointed that she didn't choose me but I respect her decision. I even met a girl that I'm talking to. She seems pretty nice," he said. We arrived at the Royal Garden.

"RIMA-TAN MERRY CHRISTMAS!" I heard then was knocked over.

"Yaya!" I whined. I could barely breathe.

"Yaya-chan missed Rima-tan," she said then got off and helped me up.

"At least you helped me up this time," I said.

"Looking on the bright side Mashiro-san," Kairi said. I then noticed something.

"Kairi, look up," I said. He did as he was told and noticed a little green plant above him. His face was then tinted pink.

"Class Prez is under the mistletoe," Yaya pointed out the obvious.

"Since it's only the four of us, I nominate Yaya," I said. Yaya blushed a bit but she kissed him on the cheek. Kairi's whole face turned red.

"What did we walk into?" we heard behind us. Utau and Kukai arrived at the right moment.

"Kairi under the mistletoe," I explained.

"Way to go little man," Kukai said as he gave Kairi a noogie but Kairi was a bit dazed to really understand what was going on.

"Hey guys what's going on?" we heard a familiar pinkette. She arrived with a familiar blue-haired boy she loves.

"AMU-CHI! MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Yaya yelled as she glomped her.

"Merry Christmas Yaya, please let go now," Amu said.

"I believe everyone is here except for Nagi," Utau said.

"Rima, where is he?" Amu asked. Everyone looked at me.

"I don't know. It's not like I know where he is every minute of the day. I assume he's running late because he was having Christmas with his family," I said.

"Sorry I'm late," we heard. Of course it was Nagi.

"NOW WE CAN OPEN PRESENTS!" Yaya yelled. None of us really argued.

"Alright we'll pass out all the presents out then open them all at once," Utau said. Once again we all agreed. I gave everyone theirs and received mine. I got as follows:

From Amu, a new pair of shoes

Utau, a new gag manga I've never heard of before. SHe told me that it was new and hasn't been released yet

Yaya, candy

Tadase, a notebook

Ikuto, let's just say he got me an envelope. There was a note and a small blue package inside. My cheeks instantly heated up. The note read "You and girly boy may need this when it gets to hot *wink* *wink* " (If you don't know what it is then you're too young to know)

Kukai, got me a tiara. He said that I always acted like a queen.

Kairi got me a book on why people were short. I sweatdropped at this.

The only person that I didn't get a gift from was Nagi. I looked at him confused. He noticed and winked at me. I guess he was planning something.

"Did we all open our gifts?" Tadase asked. All of us nodded. It seems everyone is happy. I got Utau some purple butterfly hair ties, Kukai some goalie gloves, Ikuto a cat plushie which caused him to glare at me but he deserved it after what he got me, Amu some pink; blue; green; and yellow nail polish, Yaya some candy, Kairi a book about calming people down, and Nagi I got him the best thing I though I could get him.

"Rima, how did you get this?" he asked me.

"I have my sources," I said. I got him an autographed basketball of his favorite team. I had Kusukusu ask Rhythm for me then I ordered it online and had it shipped overnight. I'm not gonna say home much money and time it took but it was a lot.

"What did Nagi get you Rima?" Amu asked.

"That manga I got was actually part of my present but the next part is a surprise," I said.

"Maybe you'll have to use my present after all," Ikuto said to me.

"NOT THAT KIND OF SURPRISE," I yelled at him.

"What did he get you?" Nagi asked curious.

"I'm guessing he didn't get you the same thing," I said.

"He got me handcuffs," Nagi said a bit confused.

"IKUTO!"

~~~~*Time Skip*~~~~

"Nagi where are we going?" I asked. We had just got done with taking out presents home. Nagi said it was time to give me my present so he is taking me somewhere unknown.

"You'll see Rima," he said. I just noticed that our charas weren't following us.

"Where are the charas?" I asked.

"You ask to many question," Nagi said.

"Then you should start giving me answers," I said.

"I'm afraid I can't do that," he said with a smile. What was he up to? He looked pretty calm and happy. I know something is going on.

*Nagi's POV*

To be honest I was freaking out on the inside. I tried to be calm and collected on the outside but on the inside I could barely contain myself. I'm afraid Rima will start to know that something is up. I don't know why but this idea popped in my head and I thought it was the best idea at the time but now I'm starting to get cold feet.

*Flashback*

"Are you sure about this Nagihiko? What if you two forget..." my mother stopped herself. She doesn't know that I overheard her.

"Mother, I know that Rima and I could forget each other by going back. I overheard you talking to Tsukasa on the phone. Rima knows too. If we do remember then I wouldn't be happier," I said.

"I know you and Rima are in love but I fear that you are too young," she said.

"I know you care about me mother but I think I know this is right. I really love her mom," I said. My mother smiled at me.

"Those were almost the same exact same words I told my mother when I fell in love with your father," she said. I hadn't seen dad in awhile. He was in Europe studying dance. He legally changed his name to Fujisaki for my mom since she couldn't change her last name.

"Alright Nagihiko, you have my blessing," she said as she handed my a small container. I took it and put it in my pocket.

"Nagihiko, what about the Mashiro's?" she asked.

"Don't worry, I already talked to them and they agree," I said.

*Flashback over*

"Why are we here?" Rima asked. I took her to the place where we both watched the peach blossoms back when Rima and I took care of Tsubasa. This is where I started to have a crush on Rima. Of course there were no blossoms since it was winter.

"Do you remember this place?" I asked.

"No," she said.

"This is the place where we took care of Tsubasa, also the place where I started to like you," he said.

"I remember now. It looks different with all the snow," she said.

"Rima, do you love me?" I asked. She looked a bit shocked that I asked.

"Of course I do. You know that," she said.

"And you know I love you right," I asked.

"Yes, why do you ask?" she asked.

"Rima, I know we're young but I wanted to make a promise to you," I said. She looked a bit confused. I got on one knee and took out the box my mother gave me. It had the ring that has been in the Fujisaki family for generations.

"Rima, if we do remember each other then I would like to live the rest of my life with you. It's more of a promise right now but when we're older, will you marry me?" I asked. She looked surprised. Her hands covered her mouth and tears began to fall down her face. Were they tears of joy or sadness?

"Yes," she said. It was shaky but she had a big smile on her face. I put the purple ring on her finger. We then hugged each other tight. I didn't want to let go. She said yes! She said yes! I felt invincible right now, like I could do anything.

"Where did you get this?" Rima asked as she admired her ring.

"Honestly, it's been in the Fujisaki family for generations, but it has never been used as an engagement ring before since my ancient family weren't really supposed to get married. I thought that it was about time you joined the family so I'm giving it to you," I said.

"I love it, and I love you," she said.

"I love you too," I said.

Oh my gosh you guys are probably pissed at me. I mean it's been weeks since I updated. What happened to me? I suddenly got a life and became busy. No need to fear, I have less of a life now so I will be able to update faster.

What did you think about the proposal? and Ikuto's presents? I couldn't help it I had to do it.
