So, ever since Valentine's Day, this story has been going on. However, it is finally coming to an end. Thank you to everyone who reviewed this story. It means the world to me. I've never had so many reviews on only ten chapters. I know this story was short, but I promise, I will be writing a lot of other RimaHiko fluff, so please read that, and my other stories. Anyway, onto the disclaimer. I own nothing, and I sincerely hope you enjoy and I fail to disappoint.

It had been over a week since a smile this large crossed Rima's face. It was the first time in forever she was crying tears of happiness. There was nothing that could have made Rima happier. Rima had never been so happy to see her clown chara. Amu watched Rima's happiness, making her smile as well.

"Miss me?" Kusu-Kusu wondered, giggling. Rima stared at her chara in amazement. She could finally see Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia. Finally, she could see charas.

"Where were you?!" Rima wondered.

"I was inside of you the whole time! When you lost your memories, you also lost your dreams, so I disappeared into an egg and went back inside of you. However, I watched you the whole time. I was going to come out when you truly proved you believed in me and your dream, but I decided you needed me sooner." Kusu-Kusu smiled.

"I needed you the whole time…" Rima muttered.

"You seemed pretty content with Nagi!" Rima's face flushed, making Amu smirk.

"But, you're my chara…" Rima mumbled. "It has been so long since I didn't have you… Kusu-Kusu, you won't leave again, right? You'll always stay with me?"

"Only if you promise to believe in me!" Kusu-Kusu told her.

"I believed in you when you disappeared the first time. It wasn't exactly my fault I got amnesia." Rima muttered. Amu sweat dropped.

"So, Rima, you were talking to Kusu-Kusu before when you were shouting at thin air? How come I couldn't hear her?" Amu asked.

"I was inside of Rima's mind." Kusu-Kusu explained. "So, only Rima could hear me." Amu nodded slowly.

"Hey Kusu-Kusu…before you mentioned I would encounter Nagi soon. What did you mean by that?" Rima wondered. Kusu-Kusu merely smirked, and didn't answer Rima's question. Rima stared at her chara, and then sighed, realizing she wouldn't answer. "Okay then…"

"Hey Rima, want to go out in town?" Amu suggested cheerfully. "There's not much we can accomplish at my house." Rima nodded, and followed Amu outside. Before leaving, Rima put on the scarf Nagihiko gave her. It looked really good on her. They decided to go to the mall. Amu had insisted Rima needed new clothes. Rima decided to comply, and followed Amu to the mall.

"What store are we going to?" Rima wondered, turning to Amu.

"Uh…I really just wanted to go shopping. I really never get the chance. So, um, I don't really know the stores…" Amu admitted, sweat dropping.

"Well, that's helpful." Rima muttered.

"Spring's coming soon, so maybe we should buy some tee-shirts?" Amu suggested.

"That's fine, but isn't our problem which store, not what should we buy?" Rima wondered.

"Well…that's true. Hey, we can go there!" Amu pointed towards a store. It was called Lotus Flower. Rima followed Amu into the store.

"Amu, where are the clothes?" Rima wondered.

"Well, these are shorts." Amu picked up a pair of really short white shorts. It took Rima a few seconds to realize that those were not shorts. Rima looked at her chara, and both of them started laughing hysterically. "What's so funny?" Amu wondered, oblivious.

"Amu-Chan…" Miki started.

"Those…" Su continued.

"Amu-Chan, you're…" Ran said slowly.

"Amu-Chan, those are boxers." Dia finally said calmly. Horrified, Amu immediately dropped them. Rima and Kusu-Kusu only laughed harder.

"Amu, this is a male's underwear store…" Rima soon realized. Both girls looked at each other, and quickly left.

"Well, that was awkward!" Amu exclaimed.

"You think?" Rima wondered, giggling a little.

"I wonder if Tadase or Ikuto wears that…" Amu thought out loud.

"Amu!" Rima exclaimed. Amu turned dark red.

"Ah, um, that meant to stay in my head." Amu muttered her face redder than an apple. Rima smirked, though the thought briefly passed in her mind of Nagihiko in that. She shook that thought out of her head quickly. It was too weird. She giggled nervously. Rima was so happy, despite everything going wrong in her life. It felt great to be with Kusu-Kusu. Still, she didn't feel entirely full on the inside. There was a missing puzzle piece in her life. She needed one purple piece to complete her.

"Shall we try this store?" Amu asked, interrupting Rima's thoughts.

"I don't exactly trust your judgment Amu. How do we know that this isn't, I don't know, a cigarette store?"

"Do you see cigarettes?" Amu wondered.

"Well, no, but they can be in the back." Rima pointed out. Amu sighed, and led Rima inside. To their luck, it was actually a girl's clothing store. Rima was having trouble finding something in her size. Amu was holding a couple of things that Miki suggested. Rima sweat dropped, and didn't find anything. Amu paid for what she bought, and led Rima out of the store, holding three large shopping bags.

"Wow, I love shopping!" Amu exclaimed. "We should do this more often!" Rima nodded slowly, not saying how bored she was beginning to get. She continued to follow Amu to many stores.


For the past three days, Nagihiko was staying at Yukari's place. It was also the place Utau, Ikuto, and Kairi were staying at as well. Not being ready to tell the others he didn't leave, Nagihiko told Yukari and Nikaidou to not tell his friends he was back. Nagihiko had not done much ever since he was kicked out. He was in disbelief about the whole situation. He knew that in the Fujisaki family, if you misbehaved or didn't follow an order, you could be kicked be out. Nagihiko never believed his mother would actually do it though.

"Fujisaki, it's your move." Kairi called, snapping Nagihiko back to reality. They were in the middle of a chess game. Nagihiko always loved playing chess. He loved the strategy involved with it. However, he never got a chance to play often. He sometimes played with Kukai, but Kukai didn't quite understand chess nor had the patience. Nagihiko moved his Queen, putting Kairi in check. Kairi moved his king, unable to save his Rook.

"Sanjou-Kun, I believe it is a checkmate." Nagihiko pointed out. There were no moves Kairi could make that he could make, since the King was his last piece left. Nagihiko only had his King and Queen.

"Good game, Fujisaki." Nagihiko smiled softly, shaking his hand. There was a knock on the door. "Yukari is out, so I'll get it." Kairi stood up, and got the door.

"Hey Kairi! How are things going with Yaya?" Nagihiko knew that outgoing voice. He smiled, excited to see his friend. Kairi turned red.

"I have not seen her to the extent I would have liked, but we have been talking consistently." Kairi explained, pushing his glasses up.

"Yeah, I know. Yaya told me!" Kukai smiled. "I'm here for milady."

"Don't ever call me that again." Utau muttered, scowling. Kukai laughed, hugging her. As he put his head on her shoulder, he saw Nagihiko.

"WHAT?!" Kukai exclaimed, letting go of Utau, and staring at Nagihiko, dumbfounded.

"Hey Kukai." Nagihiko greeted.

"You…You left… We were tracking your flight on the plane…What the hell!?" Kukai stared at Nagihiko. "Are you real?" Nagihiko sweat dropped.

"Of course I'm real." Nagihiko replied. "I never left." Nagihiko explained his hesitance to leaving and how his mother kicked him out.

"Well, that's rough man." Kukai walked towards him, and gave him a huge hug. Nagihiko hugged his friend back. "Holy shit, everyone's going to be so pleased! Why didn't you tell us?"

"I was letting everything sync in." Nagihiko replied nonchalantly.

"For three days?!"

"It's not every day you're kicked out of your own house." Nagihiko muttered. He looked at the ground.

"Fujisaki really hasn't said too much upon arriving here." Utau explained. "All he really did was sleep, and occasionally play chess with Kairi." Nagihiko sweat dropped. When he first showed up at Yukari's place, he had been crying a lot. He had quickly explained everything, and crashed onto the bed. He never got the chance to tell anyone he was back or do much else.

"Well, that's…interesting." Kukai sweat dropped. "Nagi, I'll catch you later! Ready Utau?" Utau nodded, leaving the house with Kukai. A certain thought had been pressing Nagihiko, but he never got the chance to ask. He turned to Kairi.

"Sanjou-Kun how is Rima-Chan? Did she wake up?" Nagihiko wondered. The last time he saw her, she was unconscious. Nagihiko had professed his love to her, even though she couldn't hear him.

"As of yesterday evening, she is not awake." Kairi informed him. Nagihiko nodded slowly, putting his head on his fist. He couldn't deny that he was looking forward to her waking up, and learning of the fact he didn't leave.

"I'm going to go to my room. I'm a bit tired. Catch you later!" Nagihiko went into the guest room that he had recently claimed, and decided to read.


After three more hours of shopping, Rima followed Amu out of the mall, both of them holding a ton of shopping bags. Rima had not wanted to purchase anything, but Amu forced her to. Rima purchased the clothes, since Amu was paying for it anyway. Right outside of the mall, Rima noticed Kukai and Utau kissing on a bench. Rima watched for a moment, slightly disturbed.

"Um…Amu…" Rima poked her friend.

"Hm?" Amu wondered, oblivious, looking at Rima. Rima pointed at them. Amu watched her finger, and gasped. "Oh!"

"Why would they be kissing in public? Do they want people to stare at them?" Rima wondered.

"That's a bit hypocritical Rima." Kusu-Kusu pointed out. Rima faced her clown chara, glaring intensely.

"KUSU-KUSU!" Rima exclaimed, her face heating up. Amu chuckled. Kusu-Kusu giggled uncontrollably.

"Hey Rima, let's do something we haven't done in a while!" Kusu-Kusu suggested. Rima looked at Kusu-Kusu, and before she could blink, Kusu-Kusu character changed her.

"BALA-BALANCE!" Rima shrieked against her will, standing on one foot. Kukai and Utau broke apart, staring at Rima. Amu sweat dropped. Rima stopped, and glared at Kusu-Kusu. Kukai and Utau walked over to them.

"Nice kiss!" Amu called, winking.

"Amu!~" Kukai whined.

"So, you're awake Rima." Utau observed, ignoring Amu and Kukai. "When did you get up?"

"I got up a few hours ago." Rima admitted. She played with her scarf.

"Wow, you were out for a while! Great timing! Now you get to-"Utau covered Kukai's mouth, muffling his speech.

"I get to what?" Rima wondered, raising her eyebrow.

"Nothing. You'll see soon." Utau told her. Soon was officially Rima's least favorite word. After removing her hand off of Kukai's mouth, Kukai gave her a curious look. Utau shook her head slowly.

"So, what were you two doing?" Kukai asked, turning to Amu and Rima.

"Really hard to tell from the shopping bags." Utau pointed out.

"Shut up!" Kukai whined. Utau smirked, running her hand through Kukai's hair.

"They're getting a lot closer!" El observed. "It's so cute!" Il made puking noises.

"They are." Rima agreed. Kukai and Utau looked at Rima, surprised. "Oh, Kusu-Kusu is back." Kusu-Kusu curtsied.

"No wonder you seem more upbeat…" Utau muttered. Her phone started ringing, her ringtone being Glorious Sunshine. Utau picked up her phone. "What?" There was silence. "I'm with Kukai, Amu, and Rima." Again, there was talking from the other end. "Alright. Will do. See you." Utau hung up.

"That was brief…" Kukai muttered.

"Who was it?" Amu wondered.

"Kairi. Yukari is inviting everyone over for dinner. Tadase and Yaya are already there." Utau explained. "Can you go Amu?" Amu called her mother, and got permission. Rima knew that there was no reason to ask her if she needed to go. The four of them started walking to Yukari and Nikaidou's house. Rima noticed Kukai and Utau constantly smirking and looking at Rima. She was confused, but she decided not to argue. Kusu-Kusu was giggling in excitement.

"Why are you excited Kusu-Kusu?" Rima wondered.

"Because life always brings a new adventure!" Kusu-Kusu explained. Rima stared at her chara for a few moments, and just gave her a small smile. She really missed her. Finally, they arrived back at Yukari's house. The door was already opened. There was a lot of noise going inside of the house.

"YAY FOR REBELS!" Yaya was screaming. "WOOHOO!"

"Yaya-Chan, I'm not a rebel…" A voice muttered.

"Yuiki-San, calm down!" Another voice was trying to yell.

"NOOOO! MMM COFFEE IS SO GOOD! THANKS IKUTO-TAN!" Amu's face started heating up. Utau gave Amu a huge glare.

"Ikuto-NiiSan that really wasn't smart, giving Yuiki-San coffee." A third voice muttered. The four of them walked inside the house, closing the door behind them, so the neighbors wouldn't be disturbed.

"Yaya had coffee?" Amu wondered, her eyes widening.

"IT WAS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD EXCEPT FOR CANDY AND COOKIES AND KAIRI-KUN AND PANDAS!~" Yaya screamed. Kairi blushed at that comment.

"Pandas?" Utau wondered.

"My ears." Rima grunted.

"Ew. I hate coffee." Kukai muttered. Yaya stared at her brotherly figure, gawking.

"HOW DARE YOU HATE COFFEE?! THAT IS A DISGRACE TO THE WORLD!" Yaya tackled Kukai, taking him by surprise. Utau rolled her eyes, and walked over to her brother, who was merely smirking at his idea of introducing Yaya to coffee. Rima sighed, annoyed by the volume of Yaya's voice.

"Nice scarf." A voice whispered from behind her. Rima turned rapidly, and gasped, nearly falling over. Nagihiko caught her before she hit the ground.

"N-Nagi!?" Rima exclaimed. "I-I thought you left?" Nagihiko shook his head slowly, and looked at the ground. He explained the situation.

"NAGI-TAN'S A REBEL!" Yaya shrieked.

"Nagi!" Amu exclaimed, equally surprised as Rima to see him. Nagihiko flashed Amu a smile. Ikuto grabbed Amu from behind, making her shriek. Tadase gave Ikuto a death glare.

"W-Well, I-I'm sorry about you being disowned…" Rima whispered. "But I can't deny I'm glad that it allowed you to stay." Nagihiko gave her a small smile. Rima hugged Nagihiko, placing her tiny head on his shoulder.

"I suppose in the end, I'm glad to be home." Nagihiko whispered in her ear. "Come on, it's awfully loud in here." Taking her hand, Nagihiko led Rima to the room he was staying in. Nagihiko closed the door, and looked at Rima, smiling at her. Rima smiled back. She noticed Rhythm and Temari chuckling. She was glad to finally see charas again. "I see Kusu-Kusu is back." Nagihiko observed. Kusu-Kusu giggled.

"Yeah…" Rima admitted. "Apparently, she was with me the whole time, but stayed inside me." Rima looked at her chara. "Come to think of it, Kusu-Kusu, how did you know he never left?"

"I was just able to tell! I was able to sense Temari and Rhythm still around, but I wanted to keep it a secret." Kusu-Kusu put her finger to her mouth and made a "shh" noise. Nagihiko chuckled slightly.

"So, how are you doing? I mean, you didn't wake up to the most pleasant news." Nagihiko asked.

"I'm surprisingly good, for a girl whose father is in jail for hitting her and mother is dead." Rima said. "What happened after I passed out anyway?"

"Basically, they caught the whole scene on video, so your father was arrested. You were immediately brought to the hospital. Not much else occurred." Nagihiko explained.

"You didn't mention how you were hyperventilating and holding her hand the whole entire ambulance ride!" Rhythm pointed out. Rima giggled nervously while Nagihiko narrowed his eyes at his chara and turned dark red.

"Hey Nagi, Amu told me you came to say goodbye to me before you left. What did you tell me while I was out?" Rima wondered. Nagihiko looked at the ground for a minute.

"It doesn't matter. You're conscious now and I'm not leaving, so it doesn't matter." Nagihiko pointed out, still blushing.

"Yeah, but I'm curious!" Rima whined in annoyance. She had a smile on her face.

"You already know anyway." Nagihiko muttered. "I basically just said that I…love you."

"Well, your exact words were…"

"Shut up Temari." Nagihiko muttered. Temari smiled innocently. Rima started to blush, her cheeks reddening.

"Well, I guess you know my reply to that. I love you too. Don't leave again. All of this crap in my life taught me one important thing; I need you and Kusu-Kusu."

"You could survive without me." Nagihiko pointed out. He patted her head.

"It wasn't easy…"

"It wasn't even a day for you."

"True…" They both smiled at each other.

"Well, I like you more when you're conscious. I can't do this when you are passed out." Nagihiko leaned towards Rima, and kissed her. She kissed back, wrapping her arms around him. It did occur to Rima that they were both sitting on a bed. Their kiss lasted for a while, even longer than the one at Seiyo.

"Dinner's ready!" Yukari called. They ended their kiss, smiling at each other. Rima ran her hand quickly through her hair, and followed Nagihiko to everyone else. She sat beside him at the dinner table.

"We all missed you Nagi!" Amu exclaimed. "I'm sorry you aren't in the most ideal position, but I'm glad you're here for good."

"Me too. I missed you guys as well." Nagihiko said with a smile.

"LET'S WELCOME NAGI-TAN BACK!" Yaya screamed, still loud.

"I never left Yaya-Chan…" Nagihiko pointed out.

"Yaya, shut up." Rima muttered, covering her ears.

"I believe Mashiro-San already gave Fujisaki-Kun a nice greeting." Tadase said, with an evil grin on his face. The couple turned dark red, and looked at Tadase in shock. Everyone stared at him.

"Well, I wouldn't have expected that from you." Ikuto muttered. He was sitting on one side of Amu, Tadase on the other.

"Yeah, Tadase has turned more mean lately!" Kukai pointed out. "I mean, he's always nice!" Ikuto just sort of looked at Kukai, but didn't say anything. He looked as Kukai held Utau's hand. Rima realized that Ikuto was acting as Utau's protective older brother, although he never showed his brotherly side.

Finally, everyone finished dinner. Everyone helped Yukari and Nikaidou clean up the table, with the exception of Yaya who was screaming her head off for no apparent reason. Nagihiko's cell phone started ringing suddenly. Rima watched, as he picked up his phone.

"Hello?" Nagihiko wondered into his phone. Rima observed Nagihiko's facial expressions as he listened to the speaker. A smile spread across his lips. "Thank you." He whispered, hanging up.

"Who was it?" Rima wondered.

"Rima-Tan thinks it was your other girlfriend." Yaya mused.

"Um, I never said that…" Rima rolled her eyes at Yaya.

"It was my mother." Nagihiko told them, ignoring Yaya's snide comment. "She's letting me come home. It seems Baaya-San talked some sense into her. I will be going home tomorrow, and I will not be going to Europe for the dancing school." Even Temari seemed happy for Nagihiko.

"Good." Rima hugged him. Nagihiko hugged her back. Yaya snickered loudly. The couple ignored her.

"I should get going. Rima, are you going to come?" Amu wondered.

"Oh, um, I guess…" Rima started.

"Rima, you don't really have anywhere to stay, right? It seems my place has become a place for people to stay at, so would you like to live here? You can take Fujisaki's room when he leaves." Yukari suggested.

"Oh, okay…Thanks…" Rima uttered a small smile.

"See you later guys!" Amu called, leaving the room.

"My brother wants me home for some stupid thing. I can take Yaya back, since I really don't trust her to walk back on her own…" Kukai said. Yaya was laughing and jumping up and down. Rima just stared at Yaya. Rima was happy herself, but was obviously staying calm. Rima, though, had more reasons to be happy then Yaya. Her chara and boyfriend were with her. Although, Yaya had both of those things as well. Plus, Yaya's parents were alive and not in jail and in love. So, maybe Yaya did have more of a right to be happy…

After kissing Utau on the cheek, Kukai led Yaya out of the house, a huge grin appearing on his face. Ikuto gave him a little glare, and a small blush appeared on Utau's cheeks. Tadase soon left, leaving it the people who were staying here, at least for the night. It occurred to Rima that she was still clinging to Nagihiko. Her arms were wrapped around his waist. His arms were around her back. Yukari was chuckling loudly. They both separated slowly. Nikaidou rolled his eyes at his fiancée.

"Well, I'm tired, so Yuu and I are going to sleep." Yukari dragged Nikaidou by the arm to their room.

"Are you sure you don't want to share a bed Ikuto?" Utau wondered, her eyelashes batting. Rima and Nagihiko sweat dropped.

"I only do that sort of thing with Amu." Ikuto smirked, and Utau glared. "Besides Utau, you have a boyfriend. Why do you do these childish things?"

"Because you will always be my first love!" Utau exclaimed, going to hug him. Ikuto moved out of the way, causing Utau to hit the ground. "Ow."

"I'm going to get changed." Rima announced, going to her room, and changing into pajamas. She washed up and brushed her teeth, and then walked back to her room to find Nagihiko lying in the bed, smiling at her. "What are you doing here?"

"You do realize this is my bed until I leave?" Nagihiko pointed out. He was already in pajamas.

"Well…true…" Rima sat down beside him.

"It seems Yukari does not have any extra beds." Nagihiko said flirtatiously, moving a little closer. Rima was blushing.

"I-I guess that is true." Rima whispered, her voice a little shaky.

"So, I suppose we have to share."

"That's fine." Rima smiled. Nagihiko gave her a smile back. The bed wasn't as large as Nagihiko's bed, so they had to sleep right next to each other. Once the lights were turned off, Rima lied down next to Nagihiko. He put his arm around her shoulders, and she relaxed her head on his shoulder.

"Night Rima-Chan." Nagihiko whispered, hugging her closer to his body.

"Night Nagi…Love you." Rima replied sleepily. She closed her eyes. Nagihiko's face was dark red, but Rima didn't notice. They fell asleep beside each other like that, both sleeping peacefully.
