Riku and Kairi had made it into town faster than she expected. They had ridden, to Kairi's horror, Riku's motorcycle. That had left the girl a bit shaken up and glaring at her friend. Riku had parked the bike near the front of the mall and had locked their helmets on the seat. The silver haired teen was laughing at his female best friend. Kairi gave him a glare then slapped his arm. "That was mean you jerk!" she shouted.
"Aw, Kairi admit it. You like the feel of the wind against your face," Riku teased.
"Not when I'm screaming for my life! You were going about eighty miles an hour on the freeway! What happens if we had crashed!"
"But we didn't." Riku saw the girl pouting and looking away. He rolled his eyes and nudged, her in the side. She glanced at him for a second then looked away. He nudged her again but this time instead of just glancing at him with a small smile. After another nudge, Kairi rolled her eyes but beamed at him.
"Fine, I enjoyed it okay. I mean it was almost like flying. Just next time do go so fast okay? I really don't want to die an early death." Kairi gave him a pout and Riku shook his head again.
"Fine fine." Riku then gave her a soft smile as he turned away from the mall. "Although Kairi, you have to remember something." The red head gave him a confused look before he shook his head one more time. "I'm your best friend. I wouldn't ever let anything bad happen to you." Riku then turned around and entered the building. Kairi was left outside to her thoughts.
She remembered the ride here. Although she was scared of riding the bike for the first time, she felt safe when Riku told her to hold on to him. He was someone who wouldn't let anything hurt her, and protect her if anything tried to harm her. He was her dark knight after all. A hint of red appeared on Kairi's face as she recollected the feel of his muscles.
'He's a more toned now…I wonder what he looks like without his shirt.' Kairi shook her head. 'Bad Kairi! He's dating Namine and you're dating Sora! You're not supposed to fantasize about your best friend taking of his shirt and…' Her mind started to steer into more naughtier depths after that.
"Hey slowpoke what's the hold up?" Riku shouted from inside the mall. Kairi shook her head, hoped the blush on her cheeks had disappeared and headed inside. The silver haired teen raised an eyebrow when she came in. "Why are you blushing?" That caused said blushing to deepen and Kairi to turn away.
"I-It's nothing! Just let's go something!" Kairi shouted as to change the subject. Riku laughed at his friend and started walking.
"Sure. I guess I'll buy you something to make up for scaring you I guess."
"Really?" Kairi asked cautiously.
"Yeah, it's also an early apology for when we ride back home." Kairi let out a groan as Riku led the way, a smirk gracing his face
