Princess-chan: So, my first chapter of this story….

Rima: I like the summary, NOT.

Princess-chan: T.T Well I own absolutely nothing in these stories and I do NOT own Shugo Chara.

Chapter 1: Beginning of Everything, or End of Nothing

Rima's POV:

I eagerly sat in my room in my pj's, reading one of the latest gag mangas I had. Flipping each page with a smile plastered upon my face. It was days like this when I actually felt happen, like I had successfully

drowned out the real world and entered

the world I like to call, happy. It was quite rare when these days came along, to be honest. Normally my dad would stumble home drunk and argue to death with my

mother, breaking many objects in doing so. After that he would wobble drunk, up the stairs and into my room where he would call me things like useless and pathetic and then beat the living shit out of me, but

I'm lucky right now because, he's not home…. It scared me, a lot. Because of

all of the pain I had, the bruises and cuts and broken body parts, I would often use make-up to cover up I things I could so when I

went to school nobody would notice. But with the broken bones, I just had to endure the pain and act normal. But that was hard to do when a girl like me has gym. I always knew that one day something would

get out of hand, so long ago I prepared a suitcase with my most valuable things in it where it sat by my window, which I always kept open, just in case. I know

it was stupid to do that because I lived on a two

story house and all, but I had to do what I had to do, that is if when the time comes. Carefully I closed my gag manga and lay hopelessly on my bed. The only friends I truly had, the Tsukiyomi's, Kukai, Yaya, Amu,

Kairi, I guess Tadase, the charas, Nadeshiko, and definitely NOT

cross-dresser. Those were the only people who I truly did like, but I didn't trust them because I've learned over the years that you can't trust

someone because one day you will grow apart and your trust in them is gone, and their gone too, you can't

grow too attached to anything because of that. That is why I trust nobody, other than myself. Most girls

my age, 14, stress over the silliest things, one of those things being boys. Apparently when you in 8th grade you have to have a boyfriend, or at least like someone, but I broke that law or whatever it is. Liking

somebody was a waste of my time. I had boys crawling at my fingertips but they meant nothing to me, they were just fan boys who were desperate to have me and I hated it. But the guys who were my true

friends, they aren't that way, which is good. And speaking of them I find it funny because I try so hard to push the cross-dresser away, he knows I hate him but continues to try and be my friend. I just don't get it

. I inhaled a deep breath and flipped the light off in my room.

Another gruesome day of school lay ahead of me tomorrow. Suddenly I heard the door slam open, then closed. "Hey bitch!" My father yelled out,

probably calling to my mother. She scowled. Hate how they are s loud like this. "Why don't you get your lazy ass off of the couch

and start doing something for once!" Again my father spoke, raising his tone with

every word. "At least I'm not out at a bar all night making some other lady pregnant!" My mother brutally defended. "Joy killer, why do you gotta be so much of a damn ass!" He screeched. CRASH! "AHHHH!" My

mother screamed in terror. Small tears prickled my face as they rolled down my white cheeks. "Sleep on that bitch! I'm going to bed so clean up this blood." I could

hear my mother crying from downstairs. I'm

surprised he didn't come up here…I spoke too soon as I heard outraged footsteps coming up my stairs. My door slammed open to reveal my fuming father. "I forgot to give you your punishment you piece of

worthless shit!" He yelled angrily to my face. I sobbed silently as he yanked me out of my bed

and I tumbled to the floor, weeping. Father I'm s-sorry..."I whispered with tear rapidly streaming down my face. He

grabbed a ton of my hair and jerked me up, causing me to wince. I was now on my feet and he took a strike to my gut. "Rima-chan!" KusuKusu cried out. I screamed in pain and cried tears of bloody murder. "Oh I

don't think you're finished yet." He said with a harsh tone as he slammed me against the wall twice and punched my face. I cried harder. "Stop...please…" To end my pain he spit on my cowering body and I sunk

to the floor as he left my room, thumping the door

behind me. My chara floated to me. "Rima-chan…" She whispered, gently stroking my cheek. I looked at her and smiled wearily. "I-I'm fine KusuKusu." She gave

me a look of worry as I crawled over to my mirror to see my complexion, the damage. I attempted to stand by

grabbing hold of my dresser nearby. While I stood, I leaned against it. I gasped ay my appearance.

Four or five bruises on my cheek and blood dripping down my mouth. I lifted my shirt up a bit to see the damage done to my stomach and winced. A giant bruise covered a big part of my stomach with some

scrapes and some blood. I limped over to my bed and lay down and eventually my sobbing put me to sleep….

In the Morning 7:15

I awoke to my alarm and quickly hit the off button on it, trudging out of bed. I was terribly sore and didn't wanna move but I had to. "I think tonight might be the night KusuKusu." I told my sleepy chara. She

yawned as I changed my clothes slowly. She rubbed her eyes, "But Rima-chan…please let's wait until we have to…" I sighed and nodded. "Alright…can you please do me a favor though KusuKusu?" The clown

chara smiled. "Of course Rima-chan." She giggled. I grinned

at her, she's one of those things that keep me going now, because if I had it my own way, by will I would be gone. "Can you stay out during the day

please, like out of my backpack?" I choked. My voice seems to be affected by what happened last night. I grabbed my brush and

began brushing my hair as I stared intensely at the bruises on my face. KusuKusu

grinned. "Hai, Rima-chan!" I smiled. "Thank you KusuKusu." Suddenly a pang hit my stomach and I groaned. Stupid stomach issues. "That's what happens when you don't eat Rima-chan." Kusukusu challenged.

"Maybe I should eat… I mean I haven't for about a week now…." KusuKusu shuttered. Grabbing my make-up I began working on my face and covering up the pain that was inflicted upon me last night. Whenever I

touched my black and blue bruises

I would wince. When I finished I sighed. "C'mon KusuKusu, let's go." I grabbed my school bag and cell phone as I exited the door to my room and tip toed to the kitchen. "No

one's home." Go figure, no one is ever home on the morning. Looking through my

almost empty pantry I found a granola bar that I could gnaw on. As I grasp the bar I took an extra one for KusuKusu also. "Ok,

I'm ready now." I said as I locked my house behind me and began walking to the school with my would be self. I heard KusuKusu's stomach

grumble and opened up her granola bar, handing her small chunks at a

time. "A-arigato Rima-chan." "No problem." I began chewing on mine and it didn't take long before I finished mine and KusuKusu did too. "Hey! Rima-chan, wait up!" I turned around to see Amu and the cross-

dresser running towards me. Amu panted heavily once she reached

me. "Hey, Amu-chan." I said to my best friend. I glared and Nagihiko who sweat dropped. We all started walking towards the school building.

"So Amu-chan why are you walking with it?" I asked, referring to the it being the cross-dresser. Amu giggled. "Because we ran into each other and he's not an it Rima-chan, he's a Nagihiko." I rolled my eyes. "Call

him what you want…" I muttered. "Ohayo Rima-chan." The cross-dresser said to me. I completed ignored him and he sighed. "Rima-chan, why do you hate me?"

Why do I hate him…. Hmmm. Why do I hate him?

Well when I first met him I hated him because he was taking Amu away from me, and I was her best friend not him, but right now I'm not sure why I hate him. Do I hate him still? Well it's not like I like him but I

don't think I exactly hate him, I just dislike him

greatly. I sighed, "Well I don't hate you but I don't like you either." I saw Nagihiko's eyes show a glint of happiness after I said that. "Were here." Amu announced.

Another boring day of middle school to have to put up with. The other guardians joined us

in front of the school. "Yo." Kukai gave a thumbs up. "Did you guys here about what we're doing today! Man I am so

excited!" He yelled. Utau crossed her arms. "What are we doing today? I never heard anything." She said. Ok so Nagihiko,(can't believe I'm calling him that)me, Amu, Nadeshiko and Tadase were 14. Kairi and

Yaya were 13 but in 8th grade. Utau and Kukai were 15 and in 9th grade while Ikuto was in 10th grade and was 16. Kairi spoke up, "Hoshina-san,

Tsukasa has decided that today we will have a water day, all day

we will be playing games were you get soaked, since we all have bathing suits in our lockers from swimming during gym." My body froze. "A w-water d-day?" I stuttered. My make-up is going to wash off and

everyone will see my bruises and cuts and I can't

tell anyone…I'm screwed. Ikuto shook his head. "I'm ditching school today." He said to us as he leapt through some trees. "Me too." I tried to walk away but

Nagihiko caught me and Tadase gave me a funny look, "Why?" He questioned. I huffed, "I don't have

to tell you." Yaya started bawling. "But Rima-tan! It won't be any fun without you!" she cried. I looked at

KusuKusu who gave me a clueless look. I sighed. "F-fine, but I'm not participating." "But Mashiro-san, you know that this counts

for your final grade right? Tsukasa decided it." Tadase told me. "Dammit!" I

groaned. "I guess I have no choice do I…" "Nope." Nadeshiko helped drag me into the school while Amu, Kukai and Yaya laughed. Once we got in the auditorium Tsukasa began talking, "This is how today will

work; everyone get into a group of 2 and

that will be the groups for the day, after that go change into your swim suits and come to the gym, where you will find and relocate your partner and begin the games,

dismissed." I looked around for Amu

as my partner but I see that Ikuto was back somehow and partnered with her. I looked about and saw that the only person who didn't have a partner was Nagihiko, who was

surrounded by fan girls who wanted to be his partner. No way in hell would I be paired with a fan girl or fan boy so I made my way over to the cross-dressed with my arms crossed and carefully scooted through

the fan girls and reached Nagihiko who looked kind of mad. "Want to be my partner." I groaned. "What?" He asked over the loud screams

of the girls. "Do you want to be my partner?" I said a bit louder. "I can't

hear you Rima-chan, can you say it again." I got pissed and raised my voice really high. "DO YOU WANNA BE MY DAMN PARTNER!" The whole auditorium went silent and Nagihiko blushed-wait! Blushed! Interrupting

my thoughts he answered me, "Sure Rima-chan."

The fan girls groaned and glared at me as I walked away with their idol. "Why did you wanna be my partner Rima-chan?" He smirked. That perverted old smirk of

his made me blush-NO! I did NOT just blush. Just erase that image from your minds.

I shivered to myself. "Because everyone else was taken and I didn't wanna be partnered with one of your fan girls because

they hate my damn guts and being with one of my fan boys would end disastrously." Nagihiko stifled a laugh. I glared. "Thank s Nagihiko." I pouted. He blinked. "Wait, did you just call me Nagihiko?" he said

surprised. "N-no." I stuttered.

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes."

"No!"

"No."

"YES! AND THAT'S FINAL!" Nagihiko chuckled and I realized what I just did. "DAMMIT!" I cursed. "So what if I called you Nagihiko? It's your name isn't it?" Nagihiko smiled. "Yeah, your right." My heart skipped a

beat when he did that. NOPE, n-never mind n-no it didn't…."I have to go change, see you in the gym." I waved, going a different direction. "Alright, Rima-chan." My cheeks tainted a pale pink. KusuKusu giggled.

"Rima likes Nagi! Rima likes Nagi!" She laughed. Mt cheeks

turned crimson. "No I don't!" I argued. "Yes you

do because I feel how you feel Rima-chan." I gave a humph. "So you do like him?" she questioned. I

groaned. "I like him as a friend ok?"KusuKusu giggled. "Whatever you say Rima-chan..." she murmured. I glared. "Ha ha." I reached my destination, my locker, and opened it up to grab my orange one piece. It

had

white and yellow polka dots on it and a yellow bow attached to it that came around the middle. I could just wear my swim shorts with it. They were also orange so it matched well. I closed up my locker after

putting my backpack in it and went to a

close by bathroom to change. When I walked in I went straight to a stall and began changing my clothes. Suddenly the bathroom door opened and I could hear a couple

girls talking. "Oh my gosh, could you believe that Mashiro girl, she just stole our Nagihiko-sama

away from us! The bitch." One girl said. I scoffed to myself. "I swear, next time I see that ratty ass hoe then I'm

going to beat her sorry little ass." Another one of them said, it sounded like Saaya. "I'm with you Saaya-sama, now let's go change for the water games." I heard some stall doors close and I quickly ran out of the

bathroom and dashed as best as I could to the gym. If they get a hold of me in this condition then I'm screwed. I had some difficulty running but I made it and found Nagihiko quickly, he was surrounded by more

fan girls. I rolled my eyes and made my

way over to him and shoved my way past the girls until I arrived next to Nagihiko,

who was…topless. Just in his swim shorts is all. I tried not to stare but his chest was so

good looking….what am I saying! I do NOT like that cross-dressing, best friend stealing, playboy. "Rima-chan, thank goodness you're here, let's go." He quickly picked me up bridal style and made it past the girls.

"Nagihiko! Your perverted hentai!" I screamed. "If you say please then I'll let you down." I growled. "Please." And with that I was set back down to my own two feet. "Thank you." I hissed. I turned around and

heard Tsukasa over a bullhorn. "Ladies and gentle men,

let's begin, but first we have partner contest!Any partners that would like to participate come to the stage please." "What activity do you wanna do first

Rima-chan?" He asked. To be honest I didn't wanna do any at all. "I...don't know." He smiled warmly. "Do you wanna do the competition?

I bet with our team work were a shoe in to win." I pondered hesitantly.

"Fine." I stated as we walked over to the stage. Oh great, Saaya and her gang of retards are here. I rolled my eyes. "Mashiro." She glared. I ignored her and looked at Tsukasa. "Can we start now?" He rubbed

the back of his head. "Sure Mashiro-san. Okay so here are the rules: The game is call sponge toss. One teammate stand on side of the stage with an empty bucket and the other teammate on the other side of

the stage with a bucket filled with

water and a sponge. The teammate who

starts with the sponge soaks it in water and throws it across the stage to their partner who will squeeze the water from the sponge

into the bucket. You will do this repeatedly until I blow a whistle, then you will stop and I'll see which team has the most water in the bucket." I nodded.

Sounds simple enough. I was on the side with the empty

bucket and to my left was Saaya and to my right was this girl name Yuki, she was in Saaya's little gang. Across from me was Nagihiko and on both of his sides were mini Saaya's also. Tsukasa blew the whistle.

"Begin!" He yelled. Nagihiko

soaked the sponge in the bucket and tossed me the sponge with sprayed some water on my bathing suit. I squeezed it out in the bucket and tossed it back to him. We continued this

until the whistle was blown and Saaya smirked. She lifted the bucket of her water and poured it over my head. "Rima-chan!" KusuKusu screamed and Rhythm gasped. I screamed. Holy shit it was cold! And then

I remembered something. "My make-up!" I screamed,

trying to hide my face, but Nagihiko had already seen it and gasped. Saaya high fived her friends and I ran out of the gym, and just kept on running. He's

never gonna talk to me now, I look like a freak. Not like I care if he doesn't talk to me….I found

my favorite spot in the whole school, under a cherry blossom tree where no one ever went. I sat under it and looked

up at the sky. "He's probably going to tell Amu and everyone…and then THEY'LL think I'm a freak." I thought aloud. I curled up into my classic ball. "Why do these things always happen to me?" I asked myself. I

started sobbing lightly and began singing, something I do when I'm sad.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't breakeven.

I wonder why I chose this song. It's not like I'm heartbroken or anything.

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven.

Well they are right about hearts and braking.

What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay,
I'm falling to pieces,
I'm falling to pieces.

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise word's gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven.

And, what am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay,
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces.
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces.
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm try and make sense of what little remains
'Cause you left me with no love, no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break, no it don't breakeven.

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay,
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces.
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh it don't breakeven no,
Oh it don't breakeven no,
Oh it don't breakeven no.

I sobbed some more after I finished the song and put my head into my little ball so it wasn't seen. KusuKusu petted my head. "That was beautiful Rima-chan, I never knew you could sing like that." Startled, I

popped my head up. "Oh, it's you. I bet you

think I'm a freak or something, don't you." Out of the blue I remembered a quote I made up when I was little, You have half of my heart and I have the other, I'm in so

much pain and I just want the other half back. Nagihiko sat beside me. "I don't think

you're a freak Rima-chan. And that quote you just recited was beautiful." My eyes widened. "You said your thought aloud." He

explained. "O-oh." I looked down. He frowned, I saw it from the corner of my eye. "Rima, who did this to you?" He asked as he cupped my face, making me look at him. "I-it's nothing. Don't worry about it; I just fell

from a tree last night." I lied, looking at the

sky. He shook his head. "Rima, I know you're lying." I glared at him. "Well why do you care?"

he sighed. "Because I'm your friend Rima, and I wanna help you. So let me

help you by telling me who did this to your face." He spoke softly. "No, it's none of your concern Nagihiko, jut leave me alone." I chocked. He shook his head once more. "Not until you tell me who did this to you."

He reached his hand out to touch

mine but I slapped it away and right away felt guilty. I looked down. "I-I'm sorry…" I whispered. "It's ok Rima-chan, just please tell me." I stood up and winced but shrugged it off.

"Nagihiko I'm sorry but I don't wanna get you involved." I began walking away and Nagihiko pulled

my arm and I yelped. That where my dad almost broke my arm two days ago, it still hurts. Nagihiko frowned and

gave me a worried look. "Rima-" I glared. "No. I don't need your help!" I yelled running away. As I ran I hit a tree, hard. Of course being the smart ass he is, he caught up to me and I was nearly unconscious and

my bathing suit had a huge rip in the stomach area and I

shrieked as Nagihiko saw it. His eyes widened. "Rima…." My vision was starting to get blurry and the pain hit me hard. I tried to get up but just fell back

down and began sobbing. "Just please Nagihiko…." My head started spinning and I passed out.

Nagihiko's POV:

Oh my god. I can't believe how many severe bruises Rima has all over her body that she' been hiding from us, from me. Who knows how long she's been hiding all this. I turned to KusuKusu who looked ill. She

frowned. "I told her she should see a doctor…and I knew she

shouldn't have went without eating for a week." She said before yawning and flying wearily over to me. Rhythm gasped. "KusuKusu! Nagi do

something about these two!" He yelled, helping KusuKusu stay up. I picked Rima up and Rhythm had KusuKusu. "Let's go to her house." I said.

Normal POV:

Nagihiko and Rhythm carried the two ill girls to Rima's house. But little did they know what was in store for them….

Princess-chan: Holly crap! I think this story might be better than my othre one, Summer Happens. I like the storyline of this one.

Nagihiko: Woah, very…um…epic

Ikuto: I was barest in the chapter, I hated it.

Princess-chan: Every chapter you're not in you hate. Well just R&R you guys! ^^
