Riku Love story chapter 1
"Look out!" Yelled a blonde haired man stabbing a heartless that was about to jump onto a red headed girl currently fighting her own heartless." Watch what your doing Aki! One of these days your going to die in battle I swear." The man yelled at the red head now turning to him.
"No, because you won't let that happen." Aki said smiling at the blonde man
"One of these days I won't be here."
"Of course you will." And before the man could say anything else Aki cartwheeled away to another group of heartless. The blonde watched her for a moment before turning his attention back to a group of heartless that had just recently appeared.
Aki had been fighting heartless since she was twelve, she lost her parents to heartless and since then had joined a group of rebels who made it their mission to protect the people of their town. Aki had adopted the skills of the tonfas and as far as everyone was concerned was pretty good at handling them. Aki didn't really have any enemies as far as her group went, a few people found her careless determiner annoying but no one actually hated her. As Aki went through the crowds of heartless she began to feel tired, they had been fighting heartless since that morning and she didn't get any food. She needed her food, it kept her going and now she could feel herself getting slower and having the blonde boy, who's name is Koji, save her meant it was the third time she almost got her heart taken away. If these damn things didn't stop coming soon she was going to have a nervous break down.
After about thirty more minutes of kicking ass the heartless, as if hearing her thoughts, disappeared. To say Aki was glad was an understatement to say the least, she put her tonfas away and ran up to Koji who was talking to a brunette Aki knew as Gina.
"I thought they were never going to go away, so can we eat now?" She asked a smile never leaving her face
"I don't see why not, I'm pretty hungry myself." he replied grabbing his stomach and looking at Gina
"I guess we could go get food, but we need to check up on the towns people first I think there was a few injured."
"I'm sure they're fine, I want food." Aki said slightly whining
"Aki, we have a responsibility to the towns people. We're checking on them then going to get food."
"Fine, but then we get food right?"
"Yup"
"Then let's go I think I saw a stand fall on people over here a little while ago." Aki said running over to a random direction while the two followed close behind.
After another thirty minutes it was apparent that no-one was really that injured, a few had some scrapes and an old lady broke her hip, but in Aki's opinion old people did that all the time. They got her to a hospital and then went to get food.
"Oh my god I thought I was going to die." She said filling her plate with food at a buffet.
"You ate yesterday, you're fine." Gina said filling her plate next to Aki
"Leave her be Gina, she didn't eat breakfast and fighting all day can really mess with someone."
"Yeah Gina, so mneh." Aki made a face at Gina and went back to filling up her plate.
"Huh, I swear I'm surrounded by children." Gina placed her head in her hand and shook it. The three friends got a seat and ate in a comfortable silence.
"Hey, are you going to finish your pudding?" Aki asked Gina who's pudding was seemingly untouched.
"Yes, I was, there's more over there, go get one." She said pointing at the dessert section of the buffet table.
"But it's so far away."
"Then you better get walking." Gina said grabbing her pudding and pulling it closer to her.
"You suck at buffets, your plate isn't even full and your not done eating yet, are you sure your not going to eat that pudding.'
"Yes Aki I'm sure, not everyone wolfs down there food liker you, right Koji." The two girls turned to Koji who was currently stuffing pasta into his mouth, he stopped to look at them then swallowed to answer.
"You should chew, it's better for your digestive system, and the journey to the table will be worth it once you get your pudding." He said smiling contently with his answer.
"Said the man who was stuffing his full of pasta like it was going extinct." The two girls laughed a bit then Aki got up to go get pudding. She got to the stand to find one bowl of pudding left on the table. She went for it just as another hand grabbed it. Aki looked up to see a white haired man reaching for the pudding, she found him very attractive but then she realized he was going for her pudding and had to do something about it.
'Um, that was mine, and I was here first, so you can wait for them to bring out another tray of pudding but I need this one, so, let go please." She said smiling at the man who's face stayed the same emotionless expression the whole time.
"Then you should have been quicker." He said pulling at the pudding but Aki placed her hand on his to stop him from taking it, she ignored the little electric shock that went through her when she did,
"Haven't you ever heard of being a gentleman"She said pulling it her way
"Haven't you ever heard of letting go?" He said pulling the pudding back
"No, I haven't for your information, so let go." Aki was getting slightly irritated with this man
"No." was all he said before he bonked her on her head making her flail her arms letting him walk away with the pudding. Once Aki realized what had happened it was too late and her pudding was gone, she gave a defeated sigh and walked back to her table to wait for the next tray of pudding to come out.
"Why the long face." Koji asked picking up a biscuit and eating it.
"I got mah pudding jacked." she said looking at her plate
"Well more pudding will be out in a bit so chill." Gina said looking at her watch."I got to go, I need to help Saki with putting up barricades."
"You are such a workaholic, I swear." Aki said still staring at her empty plate
"I got to go to, I need to help with repairs, coming Aki?" he asked getting up from the table
"No, I need to wait for my pudding. I'll see you later." She said looking back to the table
"K, well don't be out too late the heartless are sneakier at night." Gina said walking away from the table with Koji following her.
"I won't" She said waving good-bye before going back to the buffet table waiting for pudding. Aki didn't have an obsession or anything but when she got something in her mind she would do everything she could to accomplish it. Aki waited for a good twenty minutes before the pudding came out, luckily she had cake to keep her company. She happily took a bowl of pudding and sat down at her table, for a couple of minutes she enjoyed her pudding then payed for her hour and left. Aki hop skipped out of the restaurant before realizing how dark it was, she knew she could easily defend herself but that didn't make the dark any less scary. Aki quickened her pace a little and did her best to remain calm, she stayed by the street lights as best she could but there was debris from the earlier fight and it made it a lot harder. As Aki walked she heard a noise from behind her, she tried to play it off as her imagination but she knew it was real. She gained speed just as the noise came again, Aki got her tonfas out just to be o the safe side. Soon the noise came again and Aki was running down the street back to the rebel hideout, she felt the noise getting closer and found that she couldn't think clearly and made a wrong turn finding herself cornered. Aki turned around just in time to see a group of heartless coming out of the darkness, she quickly got into a stance getting ready to fight off the heartless who were waddling closer to her. The first one jumped, she dodged it pretty well, getting her balance fairly quickly. Then another jumped at her, she gave it a whack with her tonfa sending it flying. It went on like that for a little bit before they started stacking in groups of three to four, than it got difficult, she dodged one but just barely missed the other one and got completely pummeled by the other, she tried to get her balance back in time to knock another one out of the air but missed and got knocked back to the ground. She tried to roll away from the group but they were on both sides of her, she got up quickly and prepared for another group to attack but was surprised when they just started walking close to her, that was when she made a horrifying realization that they were going to all come at her at once, Aki once again struck a pose ready for fight but just as they pounced a glowing ball of darkness came out from behind them and they were all knocked about. Aki was too surprised to get back and got trapped in the fight as well, she soon came to her senses and ran to a safe distance so she could see who it was that saved her. She looked around until she saw a wave of sliver hair flow in front of her face as the boy from the buffet pulled her out of the way before a heartless could get her.
"Pay attention!" He yelled agitation clear in his voice
"Right, sorry." Aki replied pulling her tonfas out again and getting ready once again to fight, she didn't want to have to be saved again, this was the fourth time today and it was starting to get embarrassing, plus she needed to impress this man so he didn't think she was a weak girl. With his help they managed to get rid of most of them and the rest vanished shortly after. Aki turned to the sliver haired man who was now walking toward her, she noticed that he had amazing blue eyes. She found herself staring into them until he spoke drawing her out of her entranced state.
"What the hell were you doing out here by yourself." He asked a scowl on his face
"Walking home." Aki said feeling slightly defensive
"Why by yourself?" He demanded more than asked
"I don't know...because you stole my pudding." She said feeling that was a good answer
"Because I...are you stupid?" He gave her a confused look
"My IQ is 98 thank you." She placed her hands o her hips and glared back at him. He took a deep breath then spoke again.
"Than why, were you, walking home by yourself." He said again slowly.
"I told you, you took my pudding so I had to wait for more."
"That;s really the reason?" He said this time more amused than angry this time
"Yeah, your kind of a dick." She stated bluntly causing him to stare at her once again a little agitated
"Would a dick have let you die here tonight?" He asked a smirk coming across his face.
"...no..." Aki said giving up the argument deciding she won and didn't want to go any further.
"Geez, you can at least tell me your name." he said his expression softening.
"Aki, what's yours?" She asked still a little defensive with him around.
"Riku, I'm actually just passing through, do know any good places to stay?" He said turning from her and walking away before she could even answer.
"You can stay with me, I live with a lot of people, so there's lots of room. Were always making new rooms and stuff." She replied not even thinking about what she was saying.
"Are you sure, I might steal your pudding again." He called back at her, she could practically here the smirk on his face, smug asshole.
"Well, Gina will be mad if I leave someone out on the streets, she's all responsible and shit." Aki said trying to think of a reason she wanted him at her place besides the fact that he was hot.
"Well,if your sure, lead the way." He said walking back to her waiting for her to show him the way back to her place.
"This way." She said walking toward her hideout, she felt him following close behind and felt safer then she did a couple minutes ago.
Once they got to her hideout she showed him around a bit before running into people.
"Hey Aki, who's this?" A black haired man asked
"This is Riku, he's staying here until he feels like leaving cuz we're like best fiends now." Aki said smiling from black haired man back to Riku.
"Well, OK, see you later." he said running off waving behind his shoulder.
"K bye!" She called after him "I really know him that well but he seems cool, anyway I'll lead you to your room." And Aki was off once again walking down hallways and up and downstairs. Riku was following fairly close hoping he didn't get lost, she was going too fast and he couldn't make out landmarks to find his way around. Once the two got to Riku's room Aki showed him to the bathroom a few doors down.
"Anyway hope you enjoy your stay and if you need anything call me,my room is the one over there down the right side of the hallway."
"Will do, thanks." He replied heading back to his room, but before either of them could take two steps Gina and Koji were in front of them giving friendly greetings.
"Hey Aki, who's your friend here." Gina asked looking Riku up and down.
"This is Riku, he's staying here for a little while because he doesn't have a place to stay."
"OK, nice to meet you, I'm Gina and this is Koji." Gina graved introductions while Koji inspected Riku up and down.
"Nice to meet you." Riku replied taking Gina's hand then turning to Koji to give him a hand shake.
"So how did you and Aki meet?" Koji asked a little skeptic about the man Aki brought in seemingly out of know where.
"I saved her from becoming a heartless, the rest is pretty self explanatory." he stated giving Aki a smug look which made her give him a pouty face.
"Oh my god, are you OK?" Gina asked pushing the two boys aside to inspect her friend.
"Yeah I'm fine, he saved me remember?" She said bonking Gina on her head.
"I told you not to stay out too late, this is why you can't e left alone." Koji said sighing deeply.
"I had them, he just decided to inter-fear with mah fight because he wanted to be a hero." Aki said crossing her arms.
"Well, I'm tired, so good night guys." Gina yawned and walked past everyone going to her room.
"Yeah me to, see you guys later." Koji waved good bye and followed Gina down the hallway.
"Good night you guys." Aki waved to them then turned her attention back to Riku.
"Anything you need while I'm here?" Aki asked
"Not that I can think of, thank you." He smiled at her which made her blush a little bit
"Then I'll be going, good night." Aki walked past him and hurried down the hall, she got to her room and slammed her door shut, she jumped on her bed and hugged her giant pillow. This was going to be fun she thought to herself.
Aki fantasized about Riku for a few hours while she was sketching then decided she was tired and and got under her covers ready for sleep to take her. After a few minutes Aki realized she wasn't going to fall asleep any time soon, so she thought it would be a good idea to check on her new guest. Aki tip-toed down the hallway to Riku's room, she was going to knock but the realized the door was already halfway open so she quietly pushed it open to see if maybe he was sleeping and what she saw couldn't be more from the truth. Riku was halfway dressed writing on a piece of paper, she guessed it was a letter to someone, but she was more focused on his abs. His amazing toned abs. In fact, he was fit all over and Aki had to remind herself not to go touch them, he was a guest who didn't know she was spying on him,she wouldn't risk blowing her cover just to feel abs, that was stupid she kept telling herself. She shook the thoughts out of her head and went back to peak at him, but she only got a second to do so because he faced her way and she had to retreat quickly before he found her. Once Aki was safely back in her room she slid down her door and smiled to herself. She was right, this really was going to be fun.
