A male glared at the person trembling against the wall through his mask. His hair was long and in a braid, some astray hair flowed over his mask. "Do you want to know your murderer?" He asked nonchalantly. The other slowly nodded yes, planning to get his identity and run. "I'd also like to know his." He replied before taking a dagger and thrusting it through his stomach. A pool of thick moron liquid spilled all around him. The silver-haired male took the dagger out and withdrew it into the holder on his hip. He took of the mask of the dead corps and tied it around his dagger. The mask was silver, with blue outlining the eyes and a few sapphires on either side. He turned around and opened the window. He looked back and threw a black rose in the middle of the puddle of blood. "Silence." He simply said as he jumped out the window, and took off home.
The sunlight from Destiny Islands shone through the window of Riku's bedroom. He slowly opened his eyes, then blinked. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. He sighed as he got out of bed and stretched. His long silver hair was in a mess and the only thing he was wearing was a pair of black pajama pants. He sluggishly walked down the hall of house. He sighed once more.
"Good morning Riku-san!" Came a hyper voice from the kitchen.
"Morning Tidus…" Replied Riku weakly.
"Ooooh, did you hear about the murder case? It was at the masquerade in a hotel two days ago. They finally identified the body as this one guy, Tyler," He said. "Do you think it had anything to do with the murder of—" Tidus stopped dead in his sentence for Riku glared at him.
"Don't even say it." He said sternly. Tidus fell silent for a while, then spoke up again.
"I miss him too," He said sadly. Riku almost cried right there.
"Not as much as I do." He replied back. He then got up and made a cup of coffee. He sat back at the table. "I got somewhere to be tonight." He said, taking another sip out of his mug.
"Again?" Tidus whined. Riku put his mug down.
"What's it to you? I do have a life, y'know." He stated. Tidus nodded. "Well, I have to go out now." He got up.
"Why are you always going out early in the morning, and coming home late?" Riku glared at him.
"Because, the person I want to live with isn't here," He paused. "and I hate this damn house." He added bitterly. He walked out of the room and soon returned dressed in his normal apparel. "I'll be leaving now. I'll be home for dinner, then I have to leave again." With that, he walked out the door, nearly slamming it. Tidus watched him, and as soon as he left he sighed.
"Riku just hasn't been the same," He said. "since Sora's death."
