Chapter Four: Rikku's Fire

Rikku walked to school the next day. She was extremely pissed about what her 'dad' did to Rumiku. She could feel her anger bubbling inside her. She turned to see if anyone was around. Nope. She was alone. A glare was plastered on Rikku's face. Fire formed around her fist as. She noticed it and shook her hand to make the flames stop.

"Hey you." a voice said. Rikku turned around. A boy was standing there. He had shaggy dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes that stood behind me.

"Go away Koto." Rikku spat.

"Oh, so what's go Miss Rikkula so angry?" Koto asked circling her.

"What makes you think I'm angry?" Rikku asked casually.

"Please." Koto said. He put his arm around Rikku's shoulder. "Listen, I was thinking-"

"I'm not joining you guys again." Rikku cut him off. "Now leave me alone." tiny fireballs

were circling around Rikku's clenched fists.

Koto sighed. "If you insist."

"I do." Rikku snapped.

There was a gust of wind and Koto was gone.

"Hey, Rikku." Zack said walking up behind her. "Who were you talking to?"

"Nobody important." Rikku said.

"If you insist…" a smirk appeared on Zack's face. "Rikkula."

Rikku's eyes widened. She glared at Zack. "Who told you about my name?!" she demanded.

"Nobody important Rikkula." Zack sneered. "Rikkula. Rikkula. Oh, Rikkula."

"OK, call me Rikkula one more time. I dare you." Rikku said. Zack shut up. Rikku smirked and walked ahead of him.

"Rikkula." he muttered.

"That's it!" Rikku cried. She spun around and started chasing Zack, who was laughing and screaming. They ran all the way to the school yard.

"I'm gonna get you Zackary!" she shouted

"Here, let me help." Zack said and bent down to help her.

"No, no that's ok." she said trying to pick everything up. She froze when Zack picked up the cover up. He grinned and held it out to her, Rikku snatched it from his hand and stuffed it in her bag.

"Not a word." she hissed.

"I won't say a word." he replied and stood up. "So Rikkula," he said loudly so everyone could hear. Rikku's eye twitched angrily. "What are you doing with makeup?" he smirked at Rikku. "That's eight words."

"Oh you are so fucking dead!" Rikku said, her red eyes turning a deeper shade of red. Zack stopped smiling and shut his mouth. Tiny fireballs were circling Rikku's fists again. Zack spun around and ran into the school. Rikku glared at him and continued to put her stuff away. She picked up a metal ruler, unaware that her hands were glowing red. But she was so mad, the ruler melted when she touched it.

Rikku stared at it in awe and shock. She grabbed her book bag and stomped into the building.

'Well, I guess fire really does fit my personality.' she thought, smirking to herself.
