I just realized that I haven't done much work on this than on My Will and rewriting chapters one to four. So I felt guilty, tried reading some other fan fiction, heard the theme song for KH and decided to make it up to you all by this short one-shot/chapter. This has nothing to do with what's going on in the story now. It's just a one-shot/chapter. I hope you all will accept this as a apology for not updating in months. I'll try to update everything I'm working on now.
Oh and because I did this in My Will: Please visit my website. I know, I know, it doesn't have cool stuff like music you can download and wallpapers or icons (which is on my other site), but it would really mean a lot to me if you visit it. And in the future you will have to if you want to read some other fan fiction of mine. I'll still post fan fiction on this site, but I'll also post some other ones on my website. So go to my profile, click the link, and visit please. Thanks. :)
Oh and another thing: I have no idea what this is about. I just started tying. So yeah. I think this is set before Kikyou and Riku finally met Ansem face to face and before the 6th chapter. Somewhere around when they were living together.
And Yeah I guess this would sort of be the romance part of this fan fiction. But you really won't get much to tell you the truth. I think.
Kingdom Hearts: Soul Taker
Oneshot: Romancing the Cheif
This evening, like most evenings in Kingdom Hearts, came quick, cool, and for the most part quiet. The darkness passing over the land only equal to the heartless and only illuminated by the street lamps. At Riku's small apartment the kitchen window was open, letting out the burned smell of food.
"See, I told you I couldn't cook."
Kikyou glanced at Riku with a faint scowl on her face. At least he hadn't burned the house down, but there went dinner. It seemed the only things Riku could really do was fight, tease, and look pretty.
Kikyou, who had been cooking for her family since she was six and had even mastered French cuisine when she was only just starting out in middle school, could hardly believe that a grown man that had been living with a kitchen for years couldn't even make soup. Soup out of a can that is.
Riku glanced at Kikyou's angry face and gave her his usual sly smile, holding back a chuckle at how she took this so seriously. Until Kikyou had came into his life he had been living on fast food, restaurants and, when he had a girlfriend, his girlfriend's cooking. Learning how to cook had never even seemed to cross his mind. In fact it seemed girly to him and ridiculous to even try twice.
Kikyou looked at his sly grin and narrowed her eyes. It almost seemed like he was making fun of her and her attempts to civilize him. What did he think was always going to happen? She wasn't always going to be here to cook for him and it was just dumb luck that he still contained his lean figure after all these years of unhealthy eating.
"Fine, make fun of me all you want! But when you get sick or come upon a world with out a burger shop-"
"I'm not making fun of you." Riku said coldly. Kikyou stopped mid sentence and ceased glaring at him. "I just don't see what's the point."
Kikyou put up a hand to counter him then decided not to even try. Let him be cold and criticizing all he wants. Fighting with him was a never ending battle. Kikyou turned to get rid of the slop in the badly burned pot in front of them, then turned to wash the dishes.
Riku, who was still waiting for Kikyou to spit the latest round of venom from her mouth to begin another battle of words, was surprised at her silence. While Kikyou attempted to salvage the pot, Riku stared at her. The silence that filled the room was occasionally broken by the sound of a car passing out side, but besides that there was nothing but the dish water and the pot being washed.
After several minutes of silence and Riku staring at her, Kikyou decided to say that she was sorry when a pair of hands appeared over her own. Gloveless hands that belonged to Riku.
Kikyou looked over her shoulder and gazed into Riku's emerald eyes he looked back and didn't say anything. Neither of them attempted to break the gaze which seemed to go on forever until Kikyou remembered where she was, what she was doing, and how she currently felt toward Riku. Kikyou looked away, a slight blush coming to her cheeks as she attempted to continue washing the pot.
Somehow, the situation seemed funny and Riku started laughing. A sound that echoed in Kikyou's ears and made her tremble slightly with how close they were. If his hands were some where else...
To break the thought Kikyou looked over her shoulder slightly and snapped: "And why exactly ARE you laughing?"
Riku stopped laughing and
reached up to grasp her chin in his right hand. Kikyou's eyes widen
slightly at the sudden touch, but she didn't turn away.
"I
suppose, maybe this is funny. Here we are, after burning-"
"You burned the soup. Not I." Kikyou interrupted. More to keep herself from getting lost in him touching her then to be rude.
Riku grinned, another sly smile that some how seemed more mysterious then sly to Kikyou. "Yes, I guess you're right. I burned the soup, and the pot from the looks of it."
"You...guess...?"
At the sound of Kikyou's wavy, faraway voice and the look of her clouded earth colored eyes Riku became a little of unsure of what he was saying and then regained himself. "I...I just think..."
"Yes...?"
"That..." Riku continued, unconsciously drawing his face closer to Kikyou's. "That, this moment, right now, is-"
"Is...funny...?" Kikyou asked in a slight whisper, drawing out each syllable slowly so she could say it. Words seemed to become a little harder to say.
The feel of her breath across his face, her deep eyes concentrated on only him brought out mixed emotions. One of which he wasn't proud of. Unknowing a slight blush spread across Riku's features and he could only reply with a "Yes".
The two of them drew in closer, and then...
There was a rather loud knock on the door followed by a teenager's voice announcing: "Pizza delivery! Is any body home!?"
This drew the both of them back to reality and apart from each other. What ever moment had been there was lost, thrown into space, and never to return. Riku literally jumped five feet away from Kikyou and Kikyou herself leaned against the counter with confusion in her eyes that gave way to anger.
'Oh shit...' Riku thought to himself. 'I forgot I ordered a pizza in case this experiment in cooking failed. Kikyou's going to kill me!'
And indeed, Kikyou now looked ready to kill as this time a crimson blush of anger spread across her face. Opening her mouth to scream, Kikyou yelled:
"RIKU YOU PERVERTED, IDOTIC, JERK!! YOU ORDERED A PIZZA!? YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO LEARN HOW TO COOK THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR!!"
Riku shrank down to one knee with his hands going to the sides of his head. She sure did have one loud voice when she got really angry, probably got it from her sister.
The pizza guy quickly
decided that he didn't need a two dollar tip and his pizza job and
made the right decision to leave.
Kikyou
picked up the still soaking pot and raised it above her head to
strike something, or someone, with.
Whether her anger was out of the moment between them being ruined thanks to Riku, Riku touching her and starting a moment, or Kikyou herself melting into that moment, (or being still upset about him failing cooking even after she practically did everything for him and ordering a pizza) no one will ever know. Including Riku (who will probably have a concussion) and Kikyou (who will probably have a sore throat the next morning).
(End of Chapter???)
Well that was interesting! I'm pretty happy with how this turned out; which was a pinch of very funny, a dash cliffhanger romance, and a splash of the old fighting couple at the end. I wrote "End of Chapter???" at the end because I might make some more of these one shots to tie you guys over before the actual chapter.
I have to point out though that I'm not finished with the next two chapters. I made the next chapter then realized that the stuff in it was suppose to be after another chapter so then I had to make another chapter. Then I found out that the chapter that I made needed some fixing. So it might be awhile. I apologize for not updating sooner, but I go with the flow of my muse who isn't always there at work half of the time.
Muse: That's an insult!
Jazz7: I'm sorry, but it's the truth!
Ansem: You can't handle the truth!
Scar: Would you shut the hell up! Honestly, I'm never letting this guy watch old movies ever again.
Sora: Hey I liked that movie. Hmm...Jazz7...
Jazz7: Yes, Sora.
Sora: Why wasn't I in this chapter. I could have done better than Riku when it came to the sink scene.
Kairi: She knows you pervert. God, why can't he stop chasing everything in a skirt, he even went after Kagome.
Sora: What was that?
Kairi: Nothing.
Muse: Please review and visit Jazz7's website which you can locate on the profile page!
