Sorry the last chapter was so short! I'll try to make them longer. Anyway, chapter two up!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Gaku was startled out of his thoughts when a small child came to stand beside him.
"Sir, 01's repairs are complete. We will deploy the unit right away, you are to keep an eye on him for any glitches." The boy said and walked away. So he had been ordered, instead of asked. Oh the humility of having a KID for a superior! Gaku shook his head. "What is the world comin too?" He mumbled sadly and set out for the other world.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Rikko stood in shock and amazement. Standing there in the entrance of Seiba High, was Night. Her friend and lover. He opened his arms with a serene yet silly smile, not saying a word. Rikko stood only a moment longer before sprinting to the handsome boy's arms.
"Night!" She cried and squeezed him tightly, tears forming in her eyes. Night hugged her back and leaned his face into her soft, brown hair.
"I'm sorry I had to leave you Rikko, but I'm back now and I promise to never leave you again." He murmured gently into the crying girl's ear.
Soushi stood in awe, jealousy, and rage. This figure, dared to come back and snatch Rikko away from him, AGAIN! Clenching his fist tightly, Soushi marched cooly up the steps, his expression stony and morbid. Night raised his head up and smiled happily, his blue eyes lighting up.
"Hello Soushi!" Soushi merely glared daggers at the figure and continued walking. Night did not fail to see the reason for his mood, but only hugged Rikko tighter. She had chosen him, and that is how it would stay. After what seemed like hours but could only have been moments, Night held Rikko out in front of him.
"Please don't cry anymore Rikko. It kills me when you get upset." He said, that gentle smile never leaving his face. Rikko looked up at him for a moment longer before smiling and nodding.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
After a small talk, Night had agreed to go to class with Rikko that day, so she could tell him about the past year and spend lost time with him. When his fan club found out that Night had returned, they proceeded to bawl dramatically and swoon and sigh at his every action, hoping to be noticed in case he no longer had a girlfriend. Their hopes however, were shot down in flames when they spotted him and Rikko standing outside the school at break, talking, hugging and kissing. They fumed silently as Rikko and Night cuddled.
Soushi however, pulled Night aside during the break between lunch and the next period. "Listen Tenjou. I don't know why you're here, or how you came back. But you had better not mess with Rikko's head again. You are a figure and she's a human being. You'r relationship will... not ...work." He said intensely, his eyes gleaming dangerously. Night merely stared at Soushi, his face expressionless. The two boys glared at each other before Night spoke. "Soushi...You're right! I need to find a way to be with Rikko forever!" He said, a brilliance lighting up his face as ideas began to cycle through his mind. Soushi clenched his fists in utter frustration. How could this, this...ROBOT! Be so stupid! Spinning around and stalking off, he only grew angrier when Night thanked him for the heads up.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Night contemplated Soushi's words for the rest of the day. In between time spent with Rikko of course. Rikko was human, and he was a figure. A mechanical being created only to satisfy rich, lonely wives of men who paid them no heed. He watched Rikko at her locker after school as he waited. How could he stay with her? The answer eluded and frustrated him and was surprised when Rikko kissed his cheek. "Hey, you ok Night? You aren't malfunctioning are you?" Her voice was quiet but, like her beautiful brown eyes, was full of panic and desperation. The figure placed his arm around her shoulders comfortingly. "No no. I'm just fine Rikko! Not to worry, the people at Chronos Heaven did a good job on me!" He said a bit loudly and caused a few heads to turn. The girl beside him blushed at the stares and quickly pulled him away. "Night, not so loud. People are going to get the wrong idea." She said, her face red and nervous looking. Night only smiled happily. "But Rikko. They should know by now that you're the only one for me. My Rikko and no one else." He told her in a light tone. She looked up at him, surprised at first, but then smiled. Thw two started to walk home and talk happily about the day and year that had passed. Over in another part of the hallway, Soushi stood and watched, his heart breaking.
In the evening when Night and Rikko had gotten home, Night announced that he was making dinner, a huge smile plastered on his face. Rikko nodded in agreement and eagerness at the thought of Night's cooking, but it soon faded when they looked in the fridge and pantry and found nothing. "Oh...I guess I forgot to go shopping yesterday." Rikko laughed nervously as Night merely looked at the empty fridge with wide eyes and expressionless mouth. He then smiled once again. "Ok! We'll go tonight then!" He took hold of Rikko's hand and tugged her towards the door gently. Rikko couldn't help but smile herself at his enthusiasm and simple solution. "Wait Night! I need to grab my purse!" She laughed and pulled away from him to go and get it. When she came back, he was like a lost puppy who had just spotted it's owner. He opened the door for her and quickly slipped out behind her. "So what would you like for dinner Rikko? I remembered you don't like peppers so we won't buy any of those." He rattled off as they walked to the store.
The two wandered around the shopping centre to pick up supplies when Night stopped and looked into a window. Rikko looked up at him. "What's wrong Night?" She asked then looked into the store. Her eyes met a gorgeous white dress, embroidered with silver beads in an intricate pattern. Night spoke with a sense of awe. "Rikko, you would look beautiful in that dress." He looked down at her then, his blue eyes filled with tenderness and love for her. Rikko smiled and blushed. "Thank you Night. But I shouldn't wear it. At least not yet." His expression became confused. "Why? You would be even more beautiful and I'm absolutley sure that you like it." She nodded. "I do like it Night. I love it. But, it's a wedding dress." She told him and pointed to the shop's name. It said "Bridal fantasies and apparel". Night now looked even more curious and nearly placed his nose against the window. "What's a wedding? Is it like a fancy dinner?" He asked, looking around at the other items in the shop. "No, it's a ceremony that two people have when they want to spend the rest of their lives together." She told him, her voice soft and longing. The two looked at each other and Rikko gasped when she saw Night's expression. He gazed at her with a revelation, but it was also filled with pain and love. How could they have a wedding when he wasn't human? The thought went through his head over and over until Rikko touched his hand. "Night?" He snapped out of his trance and smiled at her. "Hey, let's go home." She nodded and set out with him by her side.
While they walked, Night thought more and more until an idea snapped into his mind. He, Night Tenjou, would become human. And he knew exactly who to go to for help.
