Summary: Neku's final game sent him back into the real world with a bang. However, his story has only just begun.
“Yo ‘Phones!” Neku groaned at the nick name and pivoted, looking at the rhino of a young running towards him. Neku thought it impossible but Beat had gotten even bigger in the few months stretching between now and the game. Beat skidded to a stop,
“I needa favor, I’m ‘sapoused to pick up Rhyme from school but-“ Neku interrupted him.
“You got detention, I was there, remember?”
“Right…” he said, scuffing his foot on the ground. Neku said, “I’ll do it, Café is closed today, so I have the day off,” Beat perked up.
“you da’ best phones, I owe ya big time,” Neku shook his head,
“No big deal,” after the good-byes Neku walked towards Rhyme’s school, hands in his pockets. He honestly didn’t mind picking up Rhyme, this being the third or fourth time, in fact, in some ways he enjoyed it. He leaned on the wall, watching the hordes of elementary school kids poor out. Neku waved at one of the few blond haired children, calling her over.
“Hey, Ryhme!” Rhyme paused looking around when she heard someone call her name, Neku, not her brother. She sighed, slipping through the hordes of her class mates to reach the orange haired boy, she clutched her books tight to her chest
“Did Beat get in a fight again?” she asked. Neku grinned and ruffled Rhymes hair,
“sadly, but the kids deserved to get their butts handed to them on a plate,” They pair started to walk and Neku could see the small sagging in her shoulders, “hey, cheer up, he has gotten better about it,” he paused,, it hurt him for her to be sad, this was her childhood, she should be happy, being a teen soon she would have plenty of time to be emo. “Let’s go to the book store, I’ll get you something,” he said sudenly, he rembered her telling him 'Books are my friends and family as much as Beat, you, Shiki and Joshua' Rhyme perked up right awa, smiling at the older boy,
“Really? Even Shakespeare?” Neku blinked then laughed, she had so much potential for growth, so much good in her. The wiligness to learn and clash with people. Neku had come to fully understand the brother protective feelings Beat had for her, any one that would destroy that was a monester.
“Ya, even Shakespeare,”
