Hello readers…I'm back…I'm really sorry. I finished writing the seventh chapter but my computer broke down and I lost all hope so taking the time I focused on other things^^;;

I noticed I was still getting replies so I decided I should write for those that were still alive. I suggest those that read it a long time ago and even those that read it while back to read it over again from the beginning since I actually checked over my writing and fixed everything. I'm not that bad of a writer but I was really too embarrassed before to read over my fic. Hehehehe…yea pretty pathetic…-_-

Anywayz…

"WHAT?"

Riku had just heard about what happened and was looking at Sayuri as if she just told her she was pregnant.

"This is the third one isn't it…hmmmm…"

Hearing this she snapped out of her trance. "How do you know this…?"

"All dire fans of Satoshi-sama know this. I'm disappointed in you Riku-tan." She looked at her disappointingly and suddenly gasped. "Are you like the betrayers who left the fan-club because of the rumor?"

"I wasn't in the club in the first place…" And since when was I Riku-tan…

"It's okay Riku-tan, you're in the stage of denial right now, but you'll eventually comeback join our now coed fan-club." She nodded to her own statement as if agreeing with herself.

"Coed…?"

"Yup! Your fan-club is coed too; and I was recently appointed as the leader since I'm your closest friend."

What has the world come to! I should have never said his secret out loud. And since when have I had a fan-club? Looking at her "friend's" overly zealous face she looked away. I don't think I want to know…

~Physical Education Class~

All of Riku's classmates gathered by the pool with their swimsuits on as they were gonna be tested in their swimming skills. Those that didn't pass were to continue taking extra lessons after school ended. Looking into the deep end of the pool Riku sighed. I don't get it. It's the beginning of winter and we're doing this now. I mean I won't have any problems since I can swim well but I could never understand why they have us do this now. At least it's indoors.

With the teacher not being there after being called out, the boys started to get rowdy. Another class joined in and among them was Aiko. There was a nervous look on her face and it didn't go unnoticed by the group of rowdy boys. Thankfully Riku noticed and she saw them approach the unknowing Aiko from behind. It was not only well known that Aiko loved Satoshi but it was also well known that Aiko couldn't swim.

A little concerned Riku didn't look away and started to follow the boys to the other corner of the deep side of the pool. She may not have a great personality but that's no reason to bother someone.

Before she could say anything Aiko was pushed pretty far into the pool and her rapidly flailing arms just made her move more into the middle of the pool. Without another thought Riku jumped in after the yelping girl who was now sinking.

Underwater she swam towards Aiko who was almost touching the floor of the pool. Grabbing her arm Riku placed her feet on the floor to jump up but her jump didn't last for even a second. Looking down she noticed that the necklace she tied to her ankle got caught on the sewage hole that was constantly sucking in water. Thinking quickly, Riku pushed Aiko up so that she could get air. Seeing that a tube was thrown in for Aiko she let go of the foot she was supporting and got to work on her own foot.

She may have been a great swimmer but Riku's timing in holding her breath wasn't that great. She began to struggle with the necklace and slowly things began to blur with her having difficulty breathing. As her breath and strength were leaving her the last thing she saw were piercing blue eyes.

~With Riku~

Waking up Riku saw a white ceiling and weakly sat up to lean back on the board of the bed. I must have drowned. This must be the nurses' office…

"Riku?"

Turning her head to the voice she was suddenly hugged by a black headed boy. Noticing it was Yurri she hugged him back and asked, "Hey, what happened?"

Sitting down in front of her and setting some distance between themselves he said in a serious voice, "You almost died saving that girl… She's fine so don't worry."

She smiled a little knowing she successfully saved Aiko, her memories were a little blurry after having drowned. Yurri pinched her cheeks and said, "Stop smiling you baka."

Taking her own hands she pinched Yurri's cheek and they both started to stretch each other's skin before they let go and saw their red cheeks. Looking at each other they started laughing. Calming down a little and looking at each other Riku noticed Yurri was looking at her differently than usual or maybe she just never noticed but it was making her feel weird.

Taking her hand in one hand he used the other to brush a hair out of her face while saying, "I thought I was gonna lose you…I thought I'd never get to tell you the truth…I've always liked …"

Before he could finish, the door to the nurses' office opened and in came Daisuke, Takeshi, Sayuri and Risa. Looking at the situation everyone became silent before Sayuri and Takeshi began freaking out.

"Oh my gosh! I always knew they had a thing for each other right."

"I know right they were always talking to each other and they had those eyes of love on and…"

"GUYS!"

"…" Takeshi and Sayuri were still holding hands in their excitement but they stopped rambling out loud and looked to Riku.

"It's nothing like that. Right?" She turned to Yurri with a hopeful and sorry look.

His face went a little dark and sad but he quickly brightened up and let go of Riku, "I asked Riku to help me with my script."

Takeshi and Sayuri made disbelieving eyes and as if one person said together, "REALLY? She just woke up and the first thing you do is practice a script from drama club?"

Still smiling he said, "Of course I talked to her about the incident and how everyone was worried but I remembered the role I'll be auditioning for was about a boy and girl in this similar predicament so I asked Riku here to help me out."

"I always knew they were just friends." Takeshi and Sayuri started nodding in agreement as they looked like they believed this as did Daisuke's relieved face but Risa's face darkened up a little before she excused herself.

Riku a little concerned asked, "Is something wrong with Risa?"

Takeshi pat her shoulder and said, "She must be too embarrassed to show how worried she was. How cute."

Riku unsure but relieved a little decided to believe Takeshi for once. Remembering they were still in school Riku asked, "What period is it?"

"It's lunch period now which is way we all came, although we expected you to be out for longer," Sayuri answered this time.

Takeshi cut in to say, "Well that's because Riku's animal instincts told her it was time to eat and…"

Seeing the air around Riku turn dark Daisuke and Yurri cut Takeshi off and dragged him out the door saying, "We'll go get lunch for you guys."

Sayuri started giggling while saying, "Isn't he just the funniest kid you've ever seen."

Not funny, we call this stupidity. Calming herself Riku thought, Why come here to someone who's a patient only to irritate them…Well at least they cared enough to come here and check up on me…Although the situation they found me in was quite unpleasant…Was Yurri confessing to me…well at least Hiwatari didn't come in too…

Catching herself on that last thought her eyes widened and she furiously shook her head. Why am I concerned with what that icicle might have thought? I must have drunk a lot of the pool water! He'd probably be all I don't care anyway, glare, glare, glare.

"Are you okay Riku-tan? Did you get your head hit too?"

Noticing Sayuri was still there she turned red a little and said, "What? Of course I'm fine, just feeling a little funny from drinking too much pool water."

"Really? I like the taste of pool water; I guess everyone's a little different."

No, you're just a bit more abnormal that's all…

"I wonder why Satoshi-sama didn't come to visit Riku-tan though…"

Hearing this her blush came back and she coughed a little on her saliva. "Why do you say that?"

"Well he did save you."

Blinking for a few seconds to process what she had said Riku asked, "What?" I knew someone saved me but I just suspected it was Yurri so I was gonna thank him properly later.

"Satoshi-sama saved you. Aiko-san came up so I threw her a tube and we were all waiting for you to swim out. After a few seconds Yurri-kun was about to jump in when Takeshi stopped him saying that you would be fine since your you but Satoshi-sama just jumped in a few seconds later and after a while he carried you out and did IT. And then he…"

Listening to the story and understanding what happened, Riku was confused on the last comment. "Wait. It?"

Sayuri blushed and pushed her a little. "Oh, you know, hihihihihi"

"I'm still confused…"

Sayuri mouthed out the word.

KI-SU, Oh kiss…wait…WHAT?

"Well it's not really a kiss but you know, it's still embarrassing hihihihihihi."

Riku's pink face turned to a shade of red as she tried to calm herself down. It's not a kiss; he was breathing air into you to save you. It's not a kiss; he was breathing air into you to save you. It's not a kiss; he was breathing air into y…

"So anyways, after that you spit out all this water and he took a bunch of towels to cover you and himself before going to the nurses office. He even talked to me, you know since I'm your best girl friend and all. He told me to get your clothes and stuff and bring it to the nurse's office. I thought it was really cool that time when he saved Daisuke but this time something, the air around him was different And I was thinking …"

Riku got out of the bed suddenly feeling her power spill back into her after hearing what happened. "I need to go do something."

She sprinted out the room and towards the direction of the roof. Daisuke, Yurri, and Takeshi just came back with the food and saw her running form. Daisuke was the first to talk, "Where's she going?"

"To her savior of course," Sayuri said with a smile, "Although what are we gonna do with her food?"

Takeshi chimed in, "Oh don't worry, Riku's animal instinct will bring her back to…"

Unlike how they would usually act, both Yurri and Daisuke slapped him upside the head.

~Rooftop~

Looking at the wide space before her, Riku quickly found Satoshi in the same position as when she first came to talk to him. She slowly walked up to him. Feeling her presence he looked up at her slightly red face not sure as to whether it was from embarrassment, because she was out of breath, or both. Before he could say anything he was surprised by her sudden action.

She was bowing at him. "Thank you…Thank you for saving my life."

Thankfully for Satoshi, Riku wasn't directly looking at him as she would see his slightly blushing and startled face. In all his life he never said thank you to anyone before until she came along but she was also the first to thank him so gratefully. Unsure of what to do Satoshi abruptly got up to leave. He walked past her and made quick steps to the door.

At first she was confused as to what just happened and then angry when she saw the door close. I come all the way up here to thank him and this is the response I get…?

"What do want me to do? Give you money? I have a lot but I'm not giving you any since it's not really mine!" Breathing rather hard at this point Riku face was now red with anger.

"Oh and don't feel like you need to take responsibility for kissing me! My first kiss was stolen by a jerk like you so your next after I beat up the first one!" Not knowing what she was rambling about at this point Riku started to practice her karate moves so as to calm down. Collapsing on the floor of the roof after a while she looked up and punched the air once while mumbling, "What was I expecting? I give up trying to be nice to him. He'll always be the same."

Closing her eyes Riku enjoyed the breeze and emptied her mind.

~Behind the door of the Rooftop~

Satoshi never left, he just needed to clear out his head as it was why he had come to the roof in the first place. He had brought a book with him thinking it would help but he couldn't read as there were countless questions in his head as to what happened during physical education. He couldn't explain why he did what he did. He saved Niwa that time since he always knew he was also Dark but he didn't understand why he saved Riku.. He was thinking of visiting her so as to see if he could get answers when she just appeared in front of him.

Krad always being there never helped him either. Wow, not only was her first kiss stolen but even her second one; and by you of all people.

It wasn't aKISS.

Hahahaha. But doesn't it make you wonder who stole her first kiss…

Are you jealous Satoshi-sama? You may be able to hide your emotions from anyone else, but I've been stuck with you for too long not to know.

Shut up…

~Afterschool~

Riku and Yurri walked back home together but unlike the other times, nobody said anything. Not quite used to this silence Riku broke it. "Yurri, I'm sorry."

Any other person who listened in wouldn't understand but being friends for so long they understood each other very well. "It's okay. I wasn't expecting you to feel the same way. I just wanted you to know so I wouldn't regret it later on."

She saw him smile but she couldn't smile back.

"That doesn't mean I've given up. I plan on making you see me as someone more than a friend."

"Yurri, I…"

"Hey, look it's your house. You should go in. I'll see you tomorrow." Yurri ran off while smiling.

All Riku could do was stare and wave back showing her best smile. I'll truly never understand people, especially guys…

"Riku welcome back home."

"Hey Shin. Finally comfortable enough to just call my name?" Smiling at him she threw her bag at him which he easily caught and challenged him. "I need to clear my head. Wanna help?"

"Challenge accepted."

"How's she doing?"

"She seems better now. If I may ask did something happen?"

"Don't worry. If it was that urgent I would have called on you."

"Yes sir."

"Just get things ready. We might have to take action soon. I'll trust you with her life."

"Yes sir."
