Junkyard-RimaHiko

"Guys, can you PLEASE wait?"

Seriously, you think that they'd know by now, but no matter how many times I remind them-

"Sorry, Rima, but you'll just have to catch up!"

Damn you, Kukai. Damn you to hell.

"It's okay, guys. I got it."

Well, my day just got better.

"Okay, Nagi!" Amu...I thought she would at least stay back. "We'll be ahead! Just find us, 'kay?"

I really hated how she payed NO attention what-so-ever to how much I despise this cross-dresser standing by my side.

"Got it!" And with that they ran ahead, but not without Kukai pulling a rope out of nowhere to pull Amu along behind him for "training". Everyone else sped up, catching up, but still falling behind. I'm sure though, that Purple-head would be able to beat them all in no time.

Wait....what?

"Ready, Rima-chan?" I looked up at him confused. Ready for what?

He gives a slight tug on my wrist, but it causes my feet to lift off the ground. I feel him use a little more strength, and I'm lifted even higher. Then, I feel my body fall back, and I almost scream, but it becomes a soft grunt as I feel myself fall into something supporting my weight.

Well, he did give me a warning. But since when did a look give a certain answer? I guess it was his "feminine intuition".

He looks down at me, smiling. I glare back up, and the smile fades. He looks up, then takes off running.

I just hope he's a really fast runner.

Nagi's POV
~~~~~

She looks mad. Furious, even. I can feel my smile fade. I didn't think that she would mind that much. Then again, she never really took a liking to me.

I can't stand looking at her little face being so mad, so I look up, trying to remember where our group went. I find a trail of footprints, along with a long line which was most likely made by Kukai's dragging of Amu. I follow that line, wanting to take a slow jog to make this little moment of Rima and I last, but also wanting to have her hate me a little less.

I speed up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm able to reach them in about five minutes. During that time I:
-Got lectured by Rima for being too slow.
-Laughed a little at the slight blush I spotted on her face whenever we had to hike over a tall mound of dirt and I had to hold her closer.
-Got lectured for laughing at her because she was getting "over-heated".
-Internally smirked at her embarrassment.
-Got Rima to fully blush, and smile.

How, you ask?

Quite simple.

She admitted that she doesn't completely hate me, just "Nadeshiko", the alter-ego I have to take on because of my family's traditions(secretly, of course). She was just hoping that she could have Amu as a true friend, and hopefully be more to her than Nadeshiko.

And I admitted that I might be the same way.

Rima's POV

So, now he knows. Yes, I know about his "twin" Nadeshiko. Yes, that's the only thing I have against him.

And yes, I smiled at the fact that he doesn't hate me, either.

Only thirty seconds later, we reach our group.

Tonight is going to be interesting.

After all, who knows what all can go on in a junkyard?
