Path of Thorns
Hey! This is a first chapter of my first story. I really hope you like! ;
Disclaimer: I don't own Ringo or any other Air gear character. (But I really wish to)
Ringo sat on windowsill in her room. She was looking at the darkness of silent night. She knew that right now there were stormriders everywhere. Suddenly she heard a knock at her room's door.
-Come in,-she replied.
-Ringo, can I talk to you?-she heard a male voice.
-What do you want?-Girl turned to a voice owner.
It was Ikki, her childhood crush. But now, she was enough with her stupid love. She knew that he will never love her as a girl. Just like a sister or a friend.
-You have a time to train with me? You know, like the old days, when I learned how to ride Air Treks.
-Sorry, I trained today and I'm really tired now. Maybe some other time?-she excused.
-Oh…okay, - Ikki seemed to be upset.
He retreated from her room. He left doors open. Ringo stood and went to close the door. And met Akito who was standing in hallway.
-It seems you maked him upset…- he said.
-I don't know what his problem is,-she sighted. - I'm just tired and don't want to train.
She closed her door. Why did Ikki turned upset? She was just tired. Or did he wanted to tell her something? She opened her room's window. She saw Ikki just about to jump from his room with Air Treks.
-Come on, Ringo, let's go! Please!-he was begging.
Ringo sighed.
-Ok, I'll go with you. I just need to put on my Air Treks.
She disappeared. After a minute, she jumped out of her room.
-Let's go then, - Ikki jumped out, too and started riding on roofs.
Ringo effortlessly overtook him. They were riding and riding… Ringo didn't know where Ikki was taking her. Finally, he stopped. They were out of town.
-Ringo, I need to talk to you about something, - Ikki began nervously.
-About what?
-You see…I have…feelings to…-he gulped.-…to you. And I… didn't know how to say it to you.
Ringo was speechless. She didn't know what to say. If he had said it a little bit earlier, she must be the happiest girl. But now, when she was through her love, it really didn't mean anything to her.
-And Mikan told me that… that you too have feelings for me…-Ikki continued.
-Um...Ikki… It was in the past. Now, I just love you like a brother…-she replied.
-Oh…-the boy turned upset.
-I'm sorry…-Ringo turned and rode away.
Why didn't he said those things earlier? She thought. Earlier I would be very pleased to hear it. But now… Her heart was beating very fast. Are my feelings to him returning? Does his words made them to return? Am I falling in love with Ikki again? She was running like never before.
A/N: I hope you liked it. It wasn't hard to write it. I'm waiting for reviews and some ideas for next chapter!
