Chapter 2: Riku's Reflection
Riku's POVI have to kind of admit that Miyu guy was sort of cute, though he cannot compare to Daisuke-kun! I think I'm speaking more like Risa when she was crazy about Dark.
Dark.
Funny as it sounds, but a year has already past and I'm surprised that Risa had gotten over Dark. I thought she would never since she loves Dark so much. Oh well, I guess things can never change back to the way they were before, right? I still remember all the incidents with Dark so vividly, it seems that through all the teasing, Dark had proved to be a good friend to Daisuke-kun, and we were all disappointed when Dark was sealed away. Although I was thinking he was a pervert and I disliked him at first, it seems my attitude towards him have changed after Daisuke-kun told Risa and me about him being Dark and all those stuff. I thought about the things about Dark, the 'stories' Daisuke told me when Dark was in him and about the 'tradition'. By what Daisuke said, I thought maybe Dark was a good person after all, it's just that I do not know him well enough.
But now, I understood everything, and for the past one year, my love with Daisuke-kun deepened, and countless times, he told me not to like another guy because he felt that I was his one and only 'Sacred Maiden'. I should have told him that too since he was quite popular with the girls! I want to be his 'Sacred Maiden' and I'm not joking because when I'm with him, I felt true love, and not some stupid high school crush on the cutest guy in school.
Before disappearing, Mio-chan told me to live happily with Daisuke-kun, and from what Daisuke-kun later told me, Freedert from 'Ice and Dark', told him that to love his love ones, he must persevere and survive. After so many strange encounters, so much hurt and pain, I realized that for Daisuke-kun, I must survive and trust him always because I know he will always protect me, just like what he promised me when I fell off the bridge on the day which it was supposed to be the final battle between Dark and Krad. He embraced me tight and said that he would protect me.
"Riku? Earth to Riku!" I heard Risa's voice and I immediately regain my composure. I saw her casting me a confused look and she asked, "Are you okay, Riku? You looked really spaced out there for a minute,"
"Are you sick?" I turned to Daisuke-kun, who was asking me with a voice filled with worry and it was written on his face too. I shook my head and smiled, saying, "Daijoubu! Watashi wa genki desu!" I always hate to make Daisuke-kun worry. Relief and a smile spread across Daisuke-kun's face and said, "I'm glad,"
From in front of me, I saw Kinomoto-san starring at me. I was confused and asked him, "Why are you starring at me like that, something on my face?" I saw his face fired up and he turned away, saying "Nothing."
Then Risa thought of something and said, "Ne, minna. Want to have a study session this afternoon? I really have trouble with my studies nowadays and I need help," I was really surprised and said, "How could you? You always score straight 'A's like Hiwatari-kun! If it's anyone, it's us who should need help!"
"That was last time. And if you haven't notice, I had 15 marks over 20 marks for the latest test we received." Risa snapped and made a face.
I saw Daisuke-kun smiling and said, "It's okay, Riku. Let's just go for the study session, ne?" I relented and smiled, knowing that I would get to spend more time with Daisuke-kun, besides, I also needed serious help on my Biology.
"Hey, Saehara-san, want to join us?" Risa turned to our friend, who in turn replied excitedly, "Sorry, but I have some serious scoop on something. It's tough being a reporter, you know," And he sighed. I was thinking that was so sarcastic, but what can I say, it's Saehara-san for heaven's sake.
"What about you, Kinomoto-san? Interested?" I suddenly remembered our new friend and asked him politely by his last name since I wasn't that familiar with him, not yet.
"Gomen ne, minna. I've got tuition today so I'm unable to join in." Kinomoto-san replied.
"That's okay, you no need to apologize. We understand." Daisuke said to Kinomoto-san, then he faced Hiwatari-kun, "Ne, Satoshi-kun, you'll go, ne?"
Hiwatari-kun shrugged and said, "I don't have much choice, do I? I'm going to have to teach you all, right?"
I saw Risa rolling her eyes and snapped, "You don't have to make out so much of yourself, you know that, Hiwatari-kun?" "I'm just stating a fact," Hiwatari-kun retorted calmly.
I saw Risa flushed with anger, and I giggled a bit. I know in actual fact, Risa doesn't seem to think Hiwatari-kun as some emotionless kid who thinks highly of himself, although there are times he act like that. In fact, even though Risa didn't tell me anything, I could sense that she like Hiwatari-kun more and more, it's just that sometimes, she said something to contradict Hiwatari-kun so people won't ever guess that she likes Hiwatari-kun, not in a million years. But I knew. After all, I'm her older twin sister. Besides, I was having a hunch that Risa thought that she wasn't a good competitor for Hiwatari-kun's heart, since he was a popular figure in school and girls die to get a date with him.
Oh well, I shall wish Risa good luck, and I shall have a talk with her one of these days to confirm my theory, but I think this time, I'll be correct, completely correct compared to my Biology report.

I wrote this chapter mainly on Riku's reflection and the study session that will be very important in the next chapter. I'm going to try and make a lot of Satoshi and Risa moments on next chapter! I'm not sure if this chapter is well written but I hope it is. Thank you for reading and please review!
