Recap
"What does it look like?" she asked. I showed her my necklace.
"It looks exactly like this," I showed her.
"Why do you need two?" she asked.
"The other one is for the girl that I love," I said.
"You have a girlfriend?" she asked.
"Yes, I'll tell you who after we find it," I said.
"Deal," she said as she put out her hand. I shook it in agreement. What she didn't know is that it was for her and if we don't find it then my whole world will crumble.
Chapter 35 Lost Then Found Final Chapter
*Nagi's POV*
We began looking for it around the well. It might not be far.
"I can't find it purplehead," she said.
"We have to," I said as I continued searching.
"Does anyone else know about the necklace?" she asked.
"No I don't...Tsukasa, maybe he knows," I said. I grabbed Rima's hand and began to practically drag her.
"Purplehead!" she whined.
"Rima please," I begged. She sighed and began to catch up...just a little. We didn't stop till we were in front of the office. I knocked on the door.
"Come in," we heard Tsukasa's voice. I quickly opened the door pulling Rima in.
"Ahh, hello Nagihiko, Rima-chan. Did you have a good trip?" he asked not looking up from his work on his desk.
"She doesn't remember," I said. Tsukasa's head snapped up and he quickly looked at Rima's neck.
"Nagihiko, you have to find it. If you don't then I can't help the former queen," he said. He was speaking in code. Was he saying that if Rima doesn't remember her dream world then he can't help her parents get back together?
"Former queen? You mean Nadeshiko?" Rima asked.
"No Mashiro-san, but that is a story for a different time. Are you helping him find the necklace?" he asked her.
"Yeah, he wouldn't stop whining until I said I'd help. Apparently this necklace is for his girlfriend," Rima said. I could tell Tsukasa was trying to hold back a smile and look serious.
"Do you know where we could start looking?" I asked.
"I would try anywhere near the well," he said.
"We already looked there," Kusukusu said. Tsukasa looked around Kusukusu. It just hit me that Kazumi wasn't here either. She wouldn't be born since Rima doesn't even know about her. How am I supposed to explain that to her?
"Maybe one of the other guardians found it," Rima suggested.
"That would be a good place to look too," he said.
"Let's go then," I said. Rima and I started walking out of his office.
"Nagihiko, could I speak to you for a moment," he asked. I nodded my head.
*Rima's POV*
Tsukasa wanted to talk to that purplehead, probably on some academic achievement he got or something. I don't see the point of looking for this necklace. Can't he just get another one? It didn't look too expensive and his family is rich.
"You know that if you don't find it then Rima's memories won't come back?" I heard Tsukasa inform.
"I know, that's why we need to find it," Nagi said.
"There is always a possibility that it could be in the well or in the other world," he said.
"I already thought of that but I have to find it. Rima can't forget! Can't I just give her my necklace?" Nagi asked. Give me the necklace? I thought he said it was for his girlfriend. There is no way we are together. I felt a pain in my chest as I thought that. I can't have a crush on that stupid playboy purplehead.
"If you take yours off and Rima doesn't have hers then you'll forget too. Your necklaces has your memories. She wouldn't remember life at her house of things she did without you," Tsukasa pointed out.
"So I can't take mine off till Rima has her's on?" Nagi asked.
"Yes," Tsukasa confirmed. What were they talking about? I can't be Nagi's love. He's probably into tall girls that are athletic. I felt tears in my eyes. What's wrong with me? I felt something in my chest but this time it wasn't pain.
"Rima."
"Kusukusu?" I guessed. She looked at me but shrugged her shoulders. If it wasn't her then who was it.
"Rima, Nagi loves you with all his heart. Don't let him down now. He needs you the most right now."
"He doesn't need me. He's popular, a sports star, he's a better girl than me, he can dance, and he has that stupid effect on people where they just love him," I said.
"Rima, you know deep down you don't mean that. If you embrace it then I'll show my face."
"Show yourself?" I asked.
"Yes." If Nagi did love me then what do I say? I always had fanboys but boyfriends...not so much.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" I asked.
"I want you to prove to me just what you think of Nagi, and don't give me playboy or purplehead. You know you like him."
"Rima, sorry to keep you waiting," Nagi said. I felt my cheeks get hot.
"Rima, are you sick?" he asked as he felt my forehead.
"I'm fine," I said as I faced away from him.
"You let me call you Rima and you were blushing," he said. Him catching caused me to blush more but luckily I was facing away from him.
"This is a good sign. Come on Rima," he said as he picked me up and started running.
"Rima, should we tell Nagi about the voice," Kusukusu asked out loud...in front of him. He stopped running.
"What voice?" he asked.
"I thought it was Kusukusu but she said it wasn't her," I admitted. Why was I telling him everything? It's as if I trust him and care for him. He set me down on my feet and held my shoulders. He gave me the most serious face I've ever seen on him.
*Nagi's POV*
"What did the voice say?" I asked. I don't think I've been more serious then I have been now.
"It said to embrace...my...my,"
"Your what?" I asked.
"Feelings," she said.
"For?" I asked. She stayed silent.
"Rima, it's important," I said. It looked like she was thinking of something.
"Pssst Nagihiko, do you think the voice is Kazumi?" Temari whispered in my ear. I couldn't answer her right now. I needed to know Rima's answer.
*Rima's POV*
If I show my feelings then the voice will show itself. I need to know where this voice is coming from. My feelings for him was hate and jealousy, but now...I don't know. How can I show my feelings if I don't even know what they are?
"Kiss him." Did he hear that? I looked at him and he was still waiting for my answer so he must not be able to hear it.
"Kiss him and I'll show myself." My arms wrapped around his neck like I've done it before a million times before. I pulled him close to me until my lips met his. My eyes were closed but I felt his hands fall off my shoulders and hug me at my waist. He pulled me in closer. I felt this nice heat on my face. I was kissing Nagihiko Fujisaki! I couldn't pull myself away. I think the only thing that tore us apart was the lack of air.
"Rima," he said looking straight into my eyes.
"I-I," I was speechless. The kiss was amazing and I wanted to do it again, but this is purplehead the purplehead. This was the guy I hated for so long.
"I...I" Come on Mashiro! Say something!
"Say it as it is girl. Tell him your feelings." I heard a popping noise and suddenly I couldn't control myself.
"Nagi, I think I'm starting to like you," I heard myself say. I felt my cheeks heat up. Why did I just say that?
"Kazumi," Temari cheered.
"Kazumi?" I asked, very confused. A pink egg with a smile and blue bow stood in front of me.
"A chara egg?" I thought out loud. The egg cracked then a chara popped out. She had blond hair in a side ponytail. She wore a purple strapless dress and had a headset microphone.
"Rima, I'm so glad I really exist. I was afraid I was only a dream like the others but you don't know about that because...your necklace is gone," the little chara said.
"Hi I'm Kusukusu. Who do you belong to?" Kusususu introduced as she stuck out her little hand to shake. The new chara looked hurt.
"Sis," she whispered.
"Kazumi, we'll find it," Temari said.
"But how am I here if..." she didn't finish her thought.
"We'll fix it," Rhythm said.
"Come on Rima. Let's go see if any of the others found it lying around somewhere," Nagi said. He grabbed my hand and took the lead.
*Amu's POV*
"Ow!" Something hit my head. I was on a date with Ikuto but Utau texted me and told me that Rima was really upset. I wasn't far from the school so I told Ikuto and he understood. I was walking in the woods behind the school when something hit my head.
"Amu-chan look," Dia said. My charas were floating around the object that hit me. It was a necklace. How on Earth did it fall from the sky?
"We should take it to Tsukasa. He can see if anyone lost it," Miki said.
"Alright," I said as I picked it up.
*Nagi's POV*
We made it to the Royal Garden.
"Guys, have you seen a necklace like this?" I asked as I showed them mine.
"No, anyone else?" Tadase asked. Everyone shook their heads.
"Chibi, you ok?" Utau asked. That's right! The last time we saw them was when Rima ran away crying. I looked down at her. I could tell she was reminded of her parents divorcing.
"Hey guys, sorry I was gone. Funny thing actually happened. This necklace just flew out of nowhere and hit me on the head. Funny, right?" Amu said as she walked in.
"WHERE!?" I yelled. Amu jumped from my yelling.
"I gave it to Tsukasa," she said.
"Rima let's go," I said as I dragged her away.
"Nagi!" she whined.
"Rima, this is very important," I said in a very serious tone. She didn't complain anymore. We were moving too slow.
"Rhythm, I don't say this a lot but character change," I said.
"You got it! Character change!" he said. Headphones popped on my shoulders. I picked Rima up bridal style and ran as fast as I could. I didn't stop till I burst through the door to Tsukasa's office.
"I thought you would show up again," he said then handed me the necklace. I grabbed it quickly and put it on Rima.
"Well...Rima?" I asked. She looked at me confused.
"Was something supposed to happen?" she asked. I felt like I was about to crumble. It wasn't working! Why wasn't it working!?
"Yes, but..."
"Wait, you have to activate it," Tsukasa said.
"Activate it? How?"
"I think a smooch would work. Don't worry, I'll look away to give you some privacy," he said as he faced the other way.
"Nagi I-" I didn't let her finish. I pulled her close and kissed her. She was shocked at first but she wrapped her arms around my neck and began to play with my hair. I hope that means its working. She broke away. I looked at her with a wishful look.
"Nagi! We made it!" she cheered then hugged me tight.
"Thank goodness," I said as I hugged her as tight as I could. Rhythm went up to Kusukusu and hugged her tight just like I was doing to Rima. SInce Rima remembered then Kusukusu did too.
"Why are we in Tsukasa's office?" she asked.
"Rima, you lost your necklace. I've spent the last hour looking for it with you but luckily Amu found it," I explained.
"Amu, and the others. Let's go see them," she said.
"Wait for me!" Kusukusu said.
"Me too," Kazumi added.
"Kazumi, you're real!" Rima cheered as she hugged her chara.
"Rima-chan, remember that no one else beside Nagihiko and the former guardians will remember," Tsukasa said.
"I don't care. I'm just glad I'm back and both of us remember," Rima said. I grabbed her hand and led her down to the Royal Garden.
"I wonder why Nagi was acting weird," Amu thought out loud. Everyone was in here except Ikuto.
"It seems that there is something going on with those two," Utau pointed out. I cleared my throat. They all turned to the two of us.
"Sorry about that. I was a little flustered," I apologized. They didn't seem to care. All of them were looking at our hands still together.
"Oh by the way, they're together," Kazumi said as she came into view.
"A new chara," Kukai said.
"I'm Kazumi, nice to meet you," she introduced.
"When this happen?" Utau asked as she pointed to me and Nagi.
"That was my bad. Rima finally opened up to Nagi having me be born. I then character changed with Rima and made her confess," Kazumi lied. That was really good and made sense. I decided to play along and pretend I was embarrassed.
"Kazumi!" I whined as I thought of everything I could to get me to blush. I won't say what I thought of but it worked.
"No need to be embarrassed Rima," Kusukusu said.
"That's right Rima. You're with me now," Nagi said then kissed my cheek. I pretended like he never had done that before. The girls aww-ed and Kukai cheered something like "Go Fujisaki"
"What did I miss?" we heard a familiar voice. Ikuto came through the window since he can't walk through the door like a normal person.
"Trust me, it's a long story." I said. Nagi and I along with our charas began to laugh. The others then joined us. I may not be able to tell them but at least I have Nagi by my side and I don't think he's leaving anytime soon.
*9 Years Later*
*3rd POV*
Rima was swaying gracefully, a fan in her hand. She wore a beautiful orange kimono. Her long blonde hair flowing while she moved. She did a finishing pose for a few moments then bowed. The three people watching her were clapping, a man with long purple hair and three small children.
"Mama was so pretty!" the older child said. She had long purple hair like her father but she had her mother's eyes. She was tall for her age even though she was only six.
"Temari, one day you will be able to dance like me," Rima said as she hugged her oldest daughter.
"No way mama. You are perfect," Temari said.
"Temari, did I ever tell you how old I was when I began traditional dance?" Rima asked.
"No."
"I was sixteen. You started when you were five," Rima informed her daughter.
"I've only been dancing for a year," Temari said.
"I started only a few months ago," the second oldest said. She had straight long hair like her father but her hair color was as blonde as her mother'. She had her mom's eyes as well. Unfortunately she obtained her mother's height and lack of athleticism, but one good thing she inherited from her mother was her love of comedy. She already came up with a few jokes and she was five.
"Kusukusu, you're just like your mother. She wasn't very good when she started too," their father said. Rima hit him playfully.
"Nagihiko Fujisaki, don't make me hurt you," Rima teased her husband.
"I have our son in my lap. I think I'm safe for now," he pointed out.
"Mama don't hurt daddy. I wuv him," the boy in Nagi's lap cried. He had purple hair so dark that it almost looked blue. He had his father's eyes. He was a very sociable for his age. At daycare he would make friends with everyone. Rima fears he will become a flirt but she didn't have to worry for now since he's three. Luckily, he doesn't have to dress as a girl since he's not the oldest.
"Don't worry Rhythm. I love daddy too much to hurt him," Rima said then gave Nagi a quick peck.
"ewww," the kids whined.
"Mama, when am I gonna be a big brother?" Rhythm asked.
"Mama has to get really big first. The baby has to grow first," Rima explained.
"But I wanna see my wittle sissy now," Rhythm cried.
"Rhythm, are you excited to be a big brother?" Nagi asked.
"Yes."
"You're going to help take care of baby Kazumi and be a good big brother, right?" Nagi asked.
"Yes, I wuv my wittle sissy," he said.
"What about us?" Kusukusu and Temari asked.
"Don't take it personal girls. He's just curious about the baby. He's always been the baby so it's different to him," Rima pointed out. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Nagi said.
"Rima!" a little nine year old girl cheered as she ran in and hugged Rima.
"Good to see you Azumi," Rima said as she hugged her little sister.
"Rima, sorry to intrude," Rima's mom said as she walked in. Her arm was linked with Mr. Mashiro. The day they came back and after Rima remembered, Tsukasa helped Rima's parents get back together. Azumi became reality.
"Hi grandma, grandpa," the Fujisaki children greeted.
"Temari, why don't you take Azumi and your sister to you room to play," Rima said.
"Alright," Temari said then leaded the little girls to her room. While the girls began to leave there was a knocked on the door. Temari opened it to reveal Mrs. and Mr. Fujisaki.
"Hi grandma and grandpa," Temari and Kusukusu greeted their other grandparents.
"Hello girls," Mrs. Fujisaki greeted back. The girls then ran off to Temari's room.
"Natsumi, glad you found me. I was afraid I would have to search for you in this giant house," Rima's mother said.
"Nonsense," Mrs. Fujisaki said.
"You two can follow us," Mr. Fujisaki said. He came home from Europe and now lives here. The parents left leaving only Rima, Nagi, and their son. Rhythm had fallen asleep in Nagi's lap.
"Sometimes I get lost in this house and I've lived here for years," Rima said. It's a tradition for the members of the Fujisaki clan live in this sacred house. Rima may have broken a few rules with the tradition so she lives in the Fujisaki mansion. It's so big that it's like they have a house of their own. Nagi's parents always travel so most of the time it's only Rima and Nagi and their kids.
"Nagi, Amu, Yaya, and Utau called the other day. They wanted to arrange a play date for all the kids. We were thinking of going to the park," Rima said.
"Sounds good," Nagi said. He then thought of something and laughed.
"What is it?" Rima asked.
"In the dream world, Utau said that we would have as many kids as charas. It turned out to be true. There's Yoru, the triplets Ran, Miki, and Su, Dia, the twins Il, El, Daichi, Pepe, and Musashi. We all named our children after our charas," Nagi pointed out.
"I guess we did," Rima said.
"So Mrs. Fujisaki, he's asleep so we're all alone," Nagi said.
"I thought four children was enough for you," Rima teased. Nagi laugh then kissed Rima.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
THE END
