:3 Tell me if I should continue it…

Riiku took a deep gulp of clean, park air. "Soushi,"
"Hrmm?" her boyfriend replied.
"I.." Riiku started.
"You what?" the boy replied.
She swallowed. "I don't know."
Riiku sighed. She had a feeling. Just a feeling.
"Well, you want to go home?" he asked her.
"Not really," Riiku sighed. "I'll just walk by myself though. Thanks,"
Soushi kissed her cheek. "See you later then."
"Yeah," Riiku nodded.
They went opposite directions. Riiku had often taken walks like this after Night had…
Night.
Riiku frowned. Why was it a feeling…concerning him…? She shook her head. Impossible. Night was gone; Kronos had taken him back. He was gone. Gone. Riiku wiped some tears away from her cheek.
"Why are you crying?"
That voice. Her heart practically stopped. Riiku felt dizzy. She didn't turn, didn't budge. Her eyes darted wildly around, and she felt hot.
"Riiku? That is you, isn't it?"
She shook, not turning. Some footsteps behind her. Riiku looked down, glaring at the floor. Enough, enough, enough…
Shoes. Vans. A pair of dark jeans, a light blue shirt over them. Two hands on her arms.
Riiku forced herself to lookup.
"…What the hell?" she asked in less than a whisper.
Night looked at her, cocking his head.
"Riiku?" the boy looked perplexed.
"What the hell?" Riiku repeated.
She tore away. "Isn't it enough? Aren't you guys done hurting me? I told you, I want the original Night! I don't want seconds or thirds of him!"
"Riiku," he grabbed her again. "It's me. Me."
"That's impossible! Night died! He's gone!" Riiku sobbed.
"Yes; the machine is. The human isn't."
"Wha"-
Riiku stared at him.
"Listen, we can't talk like this." Night swallowed. "Let's go sit down."
-x-
"Human?"
They had taken a seat at a nearby bench.
"Why do you think they took me back?" Night smiled. "To make me human,"
"How?"
Night shrugged. "I don't know. I woke up to find myself strapped to a board, a bunch of wires everywhere. They thought my circuits were fried, Riiku. Gaku said he doesn't fathom how I survived. He said a really strong force must be holding me here."
"Me. I mean, us." Riiku said softly.
"Your name was the last thing I uttered." He smiled, and nodded.
"But…how?"
"I really don't know. Even Gaku was clue less," Night grinned. "Isn't it great, though? Now I can understand emotion!"
"Night…" Riiku found herself smiling. "Are you really here? Back?"
"Yes, Riiku." The boy smiled.
Riiku swallowed and suddenly, hugged him tightly. Night held her, as she wept. He could feel tears come from his eyes also.
"I love you; I always have, no matter what has happened." Riiku cried out. "I love you so damn much,"
Night chuckled. "No matter what you say, my princess, I will always end up loving you more."
Riiku didn't want to let him go. Night grinned. "I've been wanting to do this,"
He grabbed Riiku's legs and hoisted her up, like a bride.
Riiku looked at him.
"Now, Riiku," Night smiled. "I'll truly be with you. Heart, soul…and spirit. I wont feel guilty to say that I love you anymore."
"You felt guilty?"
"I was a machine. Soushi was a human, like you."
"Soushi…?" Riiku swallowed. "What am I"-
"Forget him tonight. I'll go over later." Night kissed her forehead. "Tonight is just you and me."
Riiku rested her head against his chest, sighing contently. "…Night,"
"Hmm?"
"Somewhere inside, I always knew you would return," Riiku chuckled. "Like, dead hope, in a way."
"But it turned out to be very much alive."
"Yes."
Alive. He was alive. He was human. He was hers.
