Chapter 5: Nikki: That Really Strange Feeling, part II
Nikki . . . . .
"You're late . . . . "
"I know. I know."
I took off my rain-drenched jacket and threw it on the floor, leaving a small puddle underneath it. Leon sat on the bed in the green room with his arms folded. "You're always late did you know that?" he asked, a tone of annoyance in his voice. "Of course I did." I said "That one of my most charming qualities!" Leon stood and looked down on me. "Nikki, I'm serious. And put up your hair, it's a mess." He threw a pair of lacquered chopsticks at me and I then twisted my hair in to a bun. I sighed quietly and put my arms behind my back and asked, "So, what was so important that you absolutely had to tell me today?" I rocked back and forth on my heels, making a clicking sound as I went back. His strong voice filled the room as I absentmindedly rocked in place. "As you know the Heartless have reappeared. And they reappeared at the same time you came here . . . . . "
I sharply looked up at him. Did he know? No, he couldn't. But, he does have a point . . . . "Yea, so?" I asked, trying to sound as calm as possible. "So, I just want to know if you know anything about this . . . . Do you?" His voice was so full of suspicion and his eyes narrowed as he looked at me. I quickly turned around to avoid eye contact with him. That's what always got me with lies. Eye contact. One look at them while I lie will make me burst out in laughter. "No, of course not! Why would I, of all people, have information about these Heartless things." My chest ached and my hearts was racing. I knew lying was bad, but I couldn't tell him the truth. He just wouldn't understand.
"Nikki - " He was cut off by a shrill scream in the red room. "Aerith!" Leon yelled as he swiftly took out his gunblade, Griever. "Nikki, lets go!" I looked at him in panic. "Whadda mean 'lets go'?!" I asked " You know I don't have a powerful weapon like yours! I only have my magic!" I was too late; he had already broken down the door and rushed in. "Leon!" I yelled and followed after him.
Aerith stood at one side of the bed as the creature stood at the other. "Leon! Nikki!" She screamed. Leon ran to the Heartless and jumped, his gunblade ready to slice. "Die! " He yelled as he came down. Finally realizing what was happening; I rushed to the Heartless's side. "No!" I screamed as I covered the creature with my body. "Nikki! Move!" I heard Leon yell, but I wasn't fast enough and deep cut soon ran down my arm. I winced in pain but my grip on the Heartless only strengthened. I heard it coo and I gently said, "It okay now. Everything's gonna be okay. Sorry I got you mixed up in all this running away stuff, little guy . . . . " Leon run front of me and yelled, "What do you think you're doing? Protecting Heartless? Now, move so I can destroy it!" He raised his blade into the air threatening to slash. "Iie! " I held on tight to the creature and ran out of the hotel. "Nikki!" Leon yelled after me. His voiced faded as I ran away from the Second District.
I was soaking wet. But I didn't care. I just need to get this little guy outta here, and fast! I ran to the first place I could think of: the Accessory Shop. I flung the door open and went inside. "Nikki?!" Riku yelled from across the counter (A/N: y the hell is everyone yelling?!). I looked up at him, Heartless still in hand, and said a breathless, "Hey . . ." He ran to my side and looked at me. "My God, you're soaking wet!" he then shut the door and helped me over to the couch. He put a blanket around me as I sat down. It took him awhile to realize I had a Heartless in my hand. He jumped up in surprise. "AHHH! What are you doing with one of those? We gotta get that thing outta here before -" I cut him off abruptly "No! Please don't! This little guy was only looking for me, he has no intention of harming other people." He looked down on me. "Yea but . . . " His eyes widened. "Whoa, what happened here?" he asked, extending his hand to touch the cut on my arm. "Oh, I-its nothing, really . . ." I stuttered, placing my hand over the wound. "Nothing my foot! We better wrap that up before it gets infected. " He then went behind the counter and shuffled around some things.
I sat quietly for a moment as the young Heartless slept in my lap. Why was he doing this? Why was he caring for me? No one has ever done this for me before. Not even Leon or Shitori, or even . . . . "Here we go! Found it!" he said as he popped up with a roll cloth bandages. He kneeled next to me and started wrapping the bandage around my arm. It did sting a little and the blood did seep through, but otherwise it was fine. I started, "You know, you really don't -" He cut me off. "Did you know you really made my day when you smiled this morning?" This shocked me. "Really?" He finished the last of the bandaging and smiled at me. "Yep. Cause I was the first person to see you smile, right?" I nodded; amazed that he said that about me. "And you're much more prettier when you smile like that ya kno." His lopsided grin widened slightly. I blushed slightly and stammered, "T-thank you . . . "
God, why was I feeling like this? My heart is racing and my cheeks are flushed. I feel all jittery and nervous now. And this silence is so awkward and nerve-racking. Whats happening to me?
All of a sudden, the room was pitch-black. I squealed slightly, "Whats going on?" Riku's voice came beside me, "Guess the power went out." I stood up and tried to look around me, but I couldn't it was too dark. "I should look for some candles or something. " I said walking forward only to come crashing to the ground and something broke my fall.
The lights soon flickered on and I could now clearly see that I had landed on Riku. I was kneeling on top of him, my face right above his. Drops of water from my loose hair fell upon his flushed face as he stared up at me with wide eyes. Before I knew what I was doing, I starting leaning in. My God . . . .Was I going to kiss him? I couldn't stop myself and soon my lips met his. His lips were soft and warm, sending a slight shiver down my spine. I was kinda afraid he would push me away, but he didn't, he simply deepened the kiss. He put his hands on my waist as I leaned in closer and cupped his face in my hands. The kiss seemed to go on forever. I didn't want it to end. For once I felt like I was wanted in this world. Like, I was no longer the unwanted child . . . . . . . .
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Wai! I wrote the kiss all by myself and I think I did ok! The next chap should be up in a day or 2.
BTW, my friend Kelsey sayz I'm a perverted lil girl. Do u guys think I'm perverted??
Oh Yea! And I just notice that I'm calling Guardian Storm Demon Guardian storm Dragon! Sorry bout that!
