Who's that girl? :chapter 11
Rikku tooked off her sunglasses and looked right into his eyes.
"We've kissed so many times and now you're asking me if you can kiss me?"she asked, eyeing his expressionless face.
Rukawa shook his head to break away from the eye contact.He shrugged and sat back down on the porch.
"I don't know."He managed to say.Rikku sat down beside him and took his arm putting it around her shoulder.
"What don't you know? We kiss because we like it."She said, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"I like you alot Rikku.I was afraid to say it before but you knew it everytime we kissed but now its like it doesn't mean anything anymore.Sometimes I forget that we still like each other and we just kiss for the fun of it.I'm sorry if you don't like me saying that but I just like it when we don't do anything."Rukawa looked down at her and waited for her to do something that would really really hurt him.
Rikku pulled his arm closer to her and slided her head down to to his chest.She could her his heart beating faintly in the silence between them.
"I like what we've become now.I like it when you're liking me.I like hearing your voice and I know that noone else has what we have."she said.
"What's that,"he asked.
She put her fingers together and said,"We have Kaede and Rikku realizing that they want more of each other than just kissing."
"I wish I could just hold you here forever."He sighed.
"You can you know."
"You're spoiling the moment for me."He said.
Rikku looked up at him and shook her head.'He is definately not the 'I'd do anything for you' boy I've always wanted him be.'she thought.'But he always makes up for it."
"This is such a beautiful dress."Kaeze squealed as she touched the material on the black tunic like outfit on the rack.
Miki and Mitsui rolled their eyes once again.Kaeze had practically said that for the gazillionth time that afternoon.Each dress shop they went into she would go all 'ohh' and 'ahh' about everything and the worst thing about it was that she still had not decided what to buy.
Miki passed all her shopping bags to Mitsui."Okay my strong hunk of a boyfriend, make yourself useful whilst I go to the bathroom and never come out again until you make her buy something."
With that, Miki sped off to the nearest bathroom.
Mitsui shook his head and sighed ( there seems to be alot of that :p).'I knew I shouldn't have come,'he thought, feeling sorry for himself.
"So,"Mitsui tried to start the conversation, trying not to be all awkward and everything."What's with you and Rukawa?"
Kaeze raised an eyebrow and gave him a weird look."Nothing.He's just my brother."
Mitsui removed the black dress from off the rack and handed it to her, nodding his head for her to try it on.
"I know that much.He's just cold to everyone."he continued.
"I don't know really.I've only just met him awhile ago."she said checking the size of the dress.
Mitsui crossed his arms and gave her an is-that-all look."Hontou ni...?"
"If you must know, he just has been having such a bad life before."She said as they walked towards the counter.
"Neither have I but I turned out fine."Mitsui argued.
"Well, he isn't you. He is pretty normal if you come to think of it."Kaeze took out her purse to pay for the dress.
"You must be the only person in the whole universe to think that."He said.
Kaeze took the paper bag from the counter and shrugged."If I, his sister doesn't think that way, then who's gonna?"
"You do have a point there."Mitsui agreed rubbing his chin.
"What are you doing??"Kaeze asked when she saw Rikku kneeling down on their garden surrounded by dirt.
Rukawa , who was bent over watching her, looked up at her.His face was covered with specks of dirt.
Rikku looked up as well."Who's that girl?"she asked.
Rukawa wrinkled his nose and answered."Just the sister I've met all of a sudden."
"Hey, I deserve more than an introduction than that."She said pouting out her bottom lip.
"I see,"Rikku got up to shake her hand."I'm Rikku, your neighbor."
"So what are you guys doing?"Kaeze asked with her arms locked behind her back.
"Nothing really...he just promised that he'd let make his garden into anything I want.Its such a waste of empty space anyway."she said as she picked up a packet of brown seeds."We're almost done.Its gonna be so beautiful when spring comes around.Its so lonely to see just one bare maple tree in your garden."
Rukawa looked at his watch and turned to Kaeze."You should get ready, we'll be leaving in an hour."
"Where to?"Rikku asked.
"Ice-skating."
"Sounds nice.I'd better go now."she said.
Rukawa nodded.She kissed him on the cheek and went back into her own house.
Kaeze pulled her hair up into a bun and spiked the edges giving it a elegant yet punk look.
She had on sparkle cream on her face and dark lipstick.She always took pride in what she wore when she ice-skated.Finally, she put on her new dress.The sequins sparkled in the darkness of the room as she swayed alittle in the dress trying to get the feel of it.
Kaeze went downstairs and saw Rukawa sitting at the dining table putting on his shoes.Once he had stolen a glance at her he simply just couldn't look away.There was just such a change in her style that it gave him a bit of a surprise.She looked like a whole different person.
"Hey now...can we go?"she asked dangling her skates in his face.
Rukawa blinked for a moment to try and get back to reality."Oh yeah...that's right."
And so they arrived at the ice lake.
Kaeze put on her skates and went into lae.Rukawa just stood outside watching her.
She glided backwards on the ice.He could see her hesitate alittle before she did a spin on the ice.
A smile appeared on her face as she did the feat with ease.He finally realized that skating did mean alot to her.It made her happy, just like basketball made him happy.
Soon everyone's eyes were upon her as she skated on.Everyone including a certain someone who had been dragged there.
Fujima had been dragged all the way to the lake by Sendoh that his shirt collar had practically widened a million times.
"Tell me again why I have to come here."Fujima asked when Sendoh let him go in front of Rukawa.
"Because I said so and I'm bigger and stronger than you are."he said.
Rukawa came up to them and pointed to Kaeze,"You're here because you and her need to talk things over and patch things up."
"I thought she was your girl?"he asked.
Sendoh's cheeks puffed up and he was trying not to laugh but found it very difficult.
"I don't think you'll live to see the day when he gets a girlfriend."
Fujima was stunned and he looked at Kaeze who was speeding nearer and nearer to them.
"But if you're not her boyfriend then..."
Kaeze stopped right in front of them when she saw Fujima.Her eyes were full of anger, confusion and sadness.He tried to grab to hold of her arm but she pushed him away angrily."Let me go!"she screamed.And she skated away as fast as she could.
But Fujima had the speed to catch up with her even on the ice and without skates.They had Sendoh and Rukawa struggling to run after on the ice.
Suddenly, the ice beneath Kaeze cracked and she fell in.Fujima stopped in his tracks as Kaeze's head kept bobbing up and down.She was trying to get out of the freezing water but she couldn't get pass the big ice block infront of her.She was slowly losing consciousness as the coldness sunk into her body and she stopped thrashing the water.Sendoh jumped in after desperately yelling for someone to get the ambulance.
Fujima stood there helplessly as he watched the girl whom he loved so much drown and he wasn't even doing anything.All the sounds of gasping and screaming slowly faded away.Sendoh pulled her out of the water and passed her over to Rukawa as they waited for the ambulance.
Suddenly, the ice below her started to crack.
