A/N: YAY! YAY! YAY! I'm SOOOO happy! Why you ask? Because my boyfriend
broke up with me! Huh? Why should that make me happy? Well he was an
asshole and he NEVER talked to me and he thought I was dating one of my
friends. Oh and I was sick of him. Anywayz back to the story, like we were
even talking bout it in the first place ... Umm this is probably the part
of the fic that Guardian Storm Dragon will find most pleasing to her
curiosity. Oh and if ya didn't get my email GSD, Later in the story you
will learn that Nikki's eyes are very sensitive to the ultra violet rays in
the Traverse Town area which make the iris turn a fiery red color, but when
shes at her own world her eyes turn purple, their normal color. Wow, Paying
attention in science really DOES pay off! And we get to dissect an eye on
Monday! Oooo! Gross! PLZ R+R!

Riku .....
The next day Kairi and I took the place of Nikki and Aerith at the Accessory Shop; she cleaned the shop as I tended to the customers. All day I stood behind the counter listening to people's questions, taking their orders and sometimes just chatting away. And, boy, did they have the weirdest things to talk about! One woman who came in earlier today kept talking about her husband and if she should divorce him because of his alcohol problem and I couldn't get word in edgewise so I just kept nodding my head, then at lunchtime this one kid kept asking me if I battled with any weapons and if I got any boo-boos. The people in Traverse Town were weird. "Have a nice day." I said with a fake cheery smile as I finished talking to a foreigner and watched as he walked out. I sighed loudly. Finally, I thought he would never leave! I glanced at Kairi and watched as she busily fixed the cushions on the sofa while she hummed a string of notes that reached high to the heavens. She let out a soft sigh and wiped her forehead with her left hand, brushing away strands of auburn hair from her face. " There, finished!" she said triumphantly as she stepped back from the couch. "Well," she started, turning to me "whaddya think?" I looked at the couch, I saw that the tears and holes were patched up and only unless you walked up to it and squinted really hard you could see the patchwork. "Good job, Kairi" I praised looking at the girl. She smiled her toothy smile and giggled, "Thanks!" Normally, a look from her like that would make my heart skip a beat but now, it just seems like shes too happy- go-lucky for my tastes.
Suddenly a gust of rainwater wind blew the door open letting a burst of cold, wet wind in. A tall figure stepped in and quickly shut the door closed. Kairi's smile faded when she saw you the figure belonged to. "Oh. Hello Ms. Nikki." She said coldly as she took a seat on the newly patched up couch. Nikki stood at the door soaking wet; she wore her normal outfit with an overly sized leather jacket which sleeves went way past her fingers. Her hair clung to the sides of her face as she let out a relieved sigh; "You wouldn't believe how hard its raining out there." She walked up to the counter, Kairi gasped, "Nikki! I just mopped the floor!" Nikki and I both looked down at the floor in unison, it seemed that she was tracking mud from outside. "So?" Nikki asked raising an eyebrow "Its only mud." Kairi raised her voice in anger, "'Only mud?!' I spent all morning mopping the floor!" I tried to calm the red haired girl down. "Kairi, Nikki's right, I mean it IS only mud and it's not that much, you can just clean it up with a rag. No biggie." Nikki glanced at me and then at Kairi. "Yea, Kairi. Don't be so uptight." Kairi let out a groan of exasperation and then went upstairs to the Synthesis Shop. Nikki and I watched as left.
She then turned to me with something strange on her face. A small smile. "W- Wh- You're smiling?!" I stammered, amazed at the sight before me. Her smile widened a little. "Of course I am." I blinked hard. "But .. But I thought you never smiled?" I said pointing at her face. She gently put my hand down. "Well, no ones ever stood up for me before. Even if this was such a little event, it was still nice to feel like I matter too. Thank you." She cocked her head to the side and gently smiled once more. Her smile seemed to stun me as I just stood there looking at her; taking in her features. Her long raven black raven, still soaking wet from the rain, clung to her creamy pale skinned face, her slanted red eyes soft with kindness, her high cheekbones, her soft pink lips curved into a smile; my eyes kept wandering and before I could stop them they stopped on her chest. Realizing I was staring, I quickly turned my head away and looked down at the counter with a bright crimson flush on my face. I saw that her left hand was still on mine, her long nails were gently buried in my skin.
She must have noticed my blush, because she then curiously leaned her head closer as I moved back. She leaned in closer still until I had my back against the glass cases that were against the walls. I still had my face downward from hers, so I accidentally came too close with her chest and immediately looked up meeting eye to eye with her, a deep crimson blush still on my face. My heart raced and pounded against my chest and drop of sweat rolled down the side of my face.
A loud ringing sound came from the Second District. Clearly it was the bell from the Gizmo Shop announcing he arrival of a new hour. Nikki, still close to my face, quickly gasped and looked at the watch on her left hand, releasing mine. "Oh no," she gasped slapping her forehead " I was supposed to meet Leon at the Hotel 30 minutes ago! Oh, I am in SO much trouble!" she quickly got off the counter and straightened her leather jacket and ran to the door. I stood dumbfounded staring at her still pressed against the glass cases. She opened the door and turned my way, she winked and held up a peace sign, "Ciao bello!" She then ran out the door. I let out a relieved sigh and my heart slowed to it normal pace. Geez, whats happening to me? I have this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. I usually don't get this unless I 'm around ... Oh no! DO I have Crush on...??! I silently panicked. A scoff came from behind me and I swiveled around. Kairi was looking down from the Synthesis Shop. Gasp! Did she see? "Frankly, I don't know what you see in that girl!" she said coldly before going back to whatever she was doing upstairs. I just stood there ... thinking ...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
WAI~! I finally wrote a Riku POV that's actually good! Its probably gonna be my fav Riku POV in the whole story! I hope you liked this!
