Recap
"Mashiro-san, that was a brave thing you did, crossdressing," Nagi's grandmother said.
"I wanted to show that I accepted your culture. Also I'm Nagi's girlfriend so that makes me Nade's boyfriend," I joked. All the Fujisaki's laugh, yes even Nagi's grandmother. We were all shocked that she laughed too, let alone had a sense of humor.
"She's defiantly a keeper Nagihiko," Mr. Fujisaki said after he regained his breath. I couldn't help but feel accepted into this family.
Chapter 33 Prom
*Rima's POV*
Tonight is the night that a lot of teenage girls look forward to...prom. I didn't usually care about these kind of things but I was going with my friends, and Nagi of course. I was going to have so much fun.
"Rima, can we come in now?" my mom asked from the other side of the door. All of the moms have been begging to come in and take pictures but we weren't all ready yet. Mr. and Mrs. Fujisaki let all of us come over to their house to get ready and then take pictures after. Of course the boys and girls were in separate rooms. The boys were in Nagi's room and we were in 'Nade's room'.
"Momma, we'll tell you when you can come in," I said. We didn't even have our dresses on yet. I was having the worst luck with my hair but luckily Utau and Amu were helping me which set us back a little bit.
"Amu, prom is two hours away and we haven't started taking pictures yet," Mrs. Hinamori said.
"Mom," Amu whined. Luckily, we finished my hair and we did each other's makeup. We let the moms in. They were Mrs. Hoshina, Mrs. Fujisaki, Mrs. Hinamori, and my mom. This is the first time I've ever seen Utau's mom. She had very light, long blonde hair and a pretty face. All the women stood in awe at the three beautiful women standing in front of them. I think my mom and Amu's mom had tears in their eyes.
"You three look beautiful," Mrs. Fujisaki said.
"Thank you," we said at the same time.
"The boys might drool," Utau's mom said.
"By the way Souko, how old is Ikuto?" Mrs. Hinamori asked.
"Twenty-two, but don't worry. He really cares for Amu and wouldn't hurt her, maybe just tease her a little here and there," Mrs. Hoshina said. I saw Amu's face tint pink when her mom asked the question.
"Let's go see the boys. They've been ready for awhile now," my mom said.
*Nagi's POV*
"How long does it take girls to get ready. It's been forever," Kukai whined.
"A while," my dad and I said at the same time. We were all watching TV in my game room but there was nothing on.
"Ikuto, for prom, you need to keep the teasing down to the bare minimum," Mr. Tsukiyomi said.
"I'll try my best," Ikuto said. Now that his dad is back, Ikuto seems to act a bit childish with his dad but I guess that's because he didn't have his dad and had to take charge when he was young. I may have not have had my dad for most of my life but I got to see him every once in awhile and I knew exactly where he was and I could call. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," my dad said. The moms came in with smiles on there faces.
"Boys, we would like to show you...your dates," Mrs. Fujisaki said. The moms moved to reveal there daughters. Of course I was only looking at one. She was stunning. She wore a long lavender dress...at least it was long for her. She didn't have a bunch of makeup but she did do a touch up and seemed to make her look more flawless than she already was. Her hair was curly, not her natural wavy. If my dad didn't smoothly nudge me then I might've just stared at her instead of walk to her. I pinned a purple corsage on her dress.
"You look beautiful," I said. She gave me a big smile.
"Alright picture time," Amu's mom said. After what felt like forever and the moms succeeded in blinding us. We all got into the limo. and waved to our parents.
"Do you think our charas are still mad at us?" Amu asked.
"Our parents said that they didn't really want us to have our charas there so they're having there own chara prom," I said.
"I just thought of something. What if for every charas you have, that's how many kids you'll have," Utau thought out loud.
"That means we would have three," Kukai said to her.
"Rima and I would have four," I said. She looked up at me and smiled. If we did have kids, which is long in the future, the first would have to be a girl.
"That means we'd have five," Amu gasped.
"Five kids is a lot. We better get to work Amu," Ikuto teased as he snaked his arm around her.
"Ikuto!" Amu whined. We all laughed except for Amu who went tomato mode. We made it to the school. All of us got out. Nagi linked his arm with mine as we went in. The atmosphere inside the school was perfect. Music was playing and people were dancing.
"Care to dance Mrs. Fujisaki?" Nagi whispered. I tried to hold my blush but I know I failed miserably.
"Sure," I said pretending to be cool but he saw right through me. He took my hand and guided me to the dance floor. Like always, we flowed with the music, the crowd, and each other. It all felt natural. It felt as if nothing could touch us. It was just him and I.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Utau Hoshina will be up after this song. Please welcome her," Tsukasa said.
"I didn't know Utau was performing," I said.
"I didn't know either," Nagi said.
*Utau's POV*
This was it. I don't really know what it means but I have to deliver a message. All Tsukasa gave me was song lyrics. I don't even know what it means.
"I would like to talk to you. I'd prefer you do I few songs at the prom," he said.
"Alright but you know I'm attending the prom right?" I asked.
"Of course, I would just like a song our two to get everyone excited, but that's not the main reason I want you to perform. I need you to send a message," he said.
I sing a song or two then the message. It doesn't make any sense. Tsukasa is always full of riddles.
"You ok Utau?" Kukai asked. He was backstage with me.
"I'm fine, just getting my head together. I'm sorry I agreed to this. We can't have just the night to ourselves," I said.
"It's all good Utau. I know your career is really important to you. Go out there and amaze them," he said. I seemed shocked by his little speech. He was so supportive. I've never had a guy like that. When I liked Ikuto, he ignored me but Kukai...he's different. I smiled and rewarded him with a kiss.
*Rima's POV*
Nagi and I decided to stop dancing for now since my shoes are not the most comfortable. I'm not wearing heels but they still aren't comfy. We got some punch and talked for a bit.
"I wonder where Ikuto and Amu are. I haven't really seen them too much tonight," I said.
"I'm sure wherever they are they are having a good time," Nagi said. He probably took her in the back to make out.
*Amu's POV*
Ikuto let out a little sneeze.
"Are you getting sick?" I asked.
"No, someone is talking bad about me, probably the shrimp thinks I took you away to make out with you," he said. I blushed and he smiled.
"We could if you want to," he said.
"Ikuto," I whined.
"I'm just teasing Amu," he said then kissed my cheek. He wasn't really a big crowd type so we went to the roof to get some fresh air. It was cool but not too cold. I little wind picked up and I shivered. Something warm was placed on me. I looked to see Ikuto without his tuxedo jacket. It was now on me.
"Thanks," I said then pecked him. He smiled at me then we looked out to see the sun setting. I noticed that there were people walking outside.
"Is that dad?" Ikuto asked as he looked closer.
"My mom too," I said. We noticed that they weren't alone.
"Mrs. Fujisaki, Tsukasa, and Mrs. Mashiro are here too," I observed.
"The former guardians. What are they up to?" Ikuto thought out loud.
"I don't know but we should tell the others," I said.
*Rima's POV*
"Are you having a fun night?" Nagi asked.
"Of course," I said. We were slow dancing while Utau sang "My Heartful Song".
"Nagi, I love you," I said.
"I love you too," he said then gave me a small peck. I smiled up at him.
"Rima, Nagi, we need to tell you something," Amu said with Ikuto behind her.
"Done making out you two?" I asked.
"I told you the shrimp was talking bad about me," Ikuto said.
"Not the problem right now," Amu said.
"What's wrong?" Nagi asked.
"We saw our parents. They are up to something," Ikuto said.
"They could be concerned parents wanting to know how their kid's prom is going," I pointed out.
"It wasn't all of our parents, just the former guardians," Amu pointed out.
"We need to tell Kukai and Utau," Nagi said. We casually left and went backstage.
"Yo guys," Kukai said. We explained to him what's going on.
"What do you think they're doing?" he asked.
"Wish we knew," Amu said.
"We need to get to Utau," I said.
"She's still on stage," Kukai pointed out.
"My last song is a special message to two of my friends," Utau said. She began singing.
"Who is the song for?" Nagi asked Kukai.
"I don't know. She didn't tell me," he said.
I threw a wish in the well
don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked at you as it fell
and now you're in my way
I trade me soul for a wish
pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
but now you're in my way
Your stare was holding
ripped jeans, skin was showing
hot night, wind was blowing
Where you think you're going baby?
Hey, I just met you
and this is crazy
but here's my number
so call me maybe
"By the way Rima-chan, hello," Tsukasa said.
"What?" I said confused.
"Hey, in this world, I just met you," he said.
"This is crazy. I'll give you my number so you can call me," I said.
"Maybe," Tsukasa said with a smile.
"Nagi, it's for us," I said as I pulled him aside so the others couldn't hear us.
"What?" he said shocked.
"Remember that conversation we had with Tsukasa at your house? He said he'd contact us but not by phone. Nagi, tonight is the night we go home," I said.
Next chapter: will they go home? Big question: will the remember each other? Will the others remember this world too? What about Kazumi? Azumi? What will happen to them? Find out next chapter. Sorry for the wait. The story is almost over. Only a chapter or two left. I hope you will enjoy it to the end.
