RV: Nothing… Nothing…
Chapter 7: My MOM?
She walked hand in hand with Beast Boy, wearing a happy smile, and chuckling occasionally.
Well, she looked happy.
He said something, and she blushed. He tried to kiss her, but she turned away. She was hesitating. Why? It's strange, seeing them continue their lives like this, hovering over them like always.
So strange.
She was never really happy, Rika was. But she was never really sad. But… she wasn't emotionless. It was strange. She felt… detached. She was only with them for 6 months… and then… Raven…
She felt funny every time she saw her. Like… warmth spreading all over her body. She remembers feeling like this once… when she was 6 years old…
But what does it mean? Why whenever she saw Raven?
It was weird. The last 6 months were nearly a blur of different colors. Green, Purple, Black, Pink…
And then… a salty taste in her mouth…
It wasn't hard to erase their memories… Or was it? She really can't remember… it was crazy.
It doesn't matter.
Chris was mellow. She saw him once in a while, when Robin passed by. She remembers him telling her to not do such a stupid again.
Beast Boy and Raven were now at a park, sitting in a secluded area. Raven was sitting in Beast Boy's lap, and Beast Boy was caressing her arms. While he did love her, (Rika could see it in his eyes) he did not know how to express it. And like any other 16 year old boy, he was not only using the head on his shoulders to think.
She wished he could show his love in words, and not actions.
Again, BB tried to kiss her. Again, her head turned.
But he was patient. He just shrugged and continued talking.
Rika smiled.
They kept talking, and Rika's lids started growing heavy. She put a temporary protection spell on them, and fell asleep.
"So, this is my human Chris?"
"Well… actually, she's not all human."
"Ooohh… So, what is she?"
"She's half demon."
"Really?! Then… She's like… Me?"
"No… She's half demon, not half angel."
"Well, I meant the human part."
"Oh. Then yes, she is like you."
"We have blood that naturally repel each other, and blood that naturally attracts each other. That's… kinda weird. Elder, why me? Shouldn't a full blooded angel be here? As you can see, half-breeds… are kinda strong."
"We understand that Rika. And we trust you. That's why. A half blood to protect, and control, a fellow half blood."
"I see…"
"So, do you understand the rules Rika?"
"Yes Elder."
"You must not let yourself be seen."
"Yeah, yeah, I heard you the first time."
"Rika, do not take this lightly. As your elder, I can-"
"I know, I know, take away my post, blah, blah, blah, send me back to angel school, blah, blah, blah! I know this! What's gonna be so hard?!"
"… Ha, ha, ha… Five years old, and already a guardian angel. You have enormous strength Rika… Yet so much to learn… about your heart and your maturity…"
"What… augh! I'm always so confused!! Elder Christopher! What do you mean?!"
"You'll see soon enough."
"Sometimes, I hate you."
Rika woke up feeling dazed. She just had a flash back from the day she met Raven. Well, the day she learned that she was Raven's guardian angel. The day she met her was kinda… different. Well, not kinda, totally different.
While Rika was chuckling to herself about that fateful day, a finger poked her on the shoulder. She turned around, and turned green.
"R-R-Rosa?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's me. But don't freak out!" She grabbed Rika's wing before she could fly of, leaving her motionless. "I have-"
"My wing!! Let Go!!!!!!!! Ow!!! Ow-ow-ow-ow-"
"Shut up!! I have a message for you!!!"
"From who?" Rika asked in a defeated voice, tears in her eyes.
"From the High Court."
Suddenly, Rika got serious. "Really?"
"Yeah, here's the note, with all 10 signatures of the Head Members." Rosa said.
Rika gulped. Could it be that they found out that she revealed herself?
Rosa let go of her wing, and opened the note. The moment she opened it, a flash of light surrounded Rosa, and was absorbed by her skin. Now limp and glowing, Rosa looked peaceful to Rika, but the moment of peace was ruined when Rosa opened her mouth, and opened her eyes. They were blank. "Rika Asano, your mother has requested to see your face for the first time in 12 years. The High Court has permitted this meeting, seeing that you have a clean record. But be assured, we know of your abilities, as well as your recent… escapade with your human. Realize that we will be watching your every move. We will not have mercy on betrayers. All ten members in the Court have signed to these meeting… do not take advantage of our trust Rika…"
"But… sir! My… MY mother? Are you sure you don't have the wrong Rika?"
Rosa's mouth frowned. "Rika, when have you known for the Court to be wrong?" Rosa's eyebrow rose.
"Uh… never sir… sir… when you said… about my human…"
"Yes, we know that you reveled yourself recently, but it was to save the one called Garfield's life. For a short period of time… But, do not think you can hide Rika... you should have told us. We are… very disappointed in you. We don't want to see the same thing happen again…"
Rika stared at the ground for a while. "Sir… did she tell you what she wanted to talk about?"
Rosa's head tilted. " Actually, no, she didn't…"
"It's okay sir, you'll find out soon enough."
"Only if you tell us… we will be watching, but not listening… this is a private matter… between a mother and a daughter…"
"…… Thank you sir…"
And with that, the light left Rosa's body and into the note.
Rosa shook her head. "Augh! I hate being a messenger! It's so annoying! Man, now I got a headache…"
Rika was looking at the sky. "Rosa, I'll give you 100,000 gold if you stay as Raven's and Garfield's guardian for two days."
Rosa got a mischievous look in her eye. "I'll do it… for a night with you."
Rika sighed. She knew no other angel stronger than Rosa (except for Chris, but his hands are full) so she grabbed her, and kissed her on the mouth. She slid her hand into Rosa's pants, and moved around, feeling her get wet. The liquid was warm, and Rosa moaned.
She quickly removed her hand, and stopped kissing Rosa, who was breathing hard.
"Two days Rosa. I'll be back by the day after tomorrow to complete the deal."
"W-wha? Wait, you mean you're actually going to do it with me?!" Said a surprised Rosa.
"It's a promise," Rika said, and snapped her fingers.
Then there was nothing but air where she was standing.
