(Maybe I can buy the rights to it when I'm horribly disgustingly rich? hee hee)
Thank you, ultimamoogle. You're so nice!
Here's a little S/K fluffiness for you (I'd make it hard-core lemon, but this is Asuka's fic and she'd be mad if I did that
Asuka: Damn right, Asuka!...Um...what should I call you?
Asuka(me): Just call me 'Suka
Asuka: Righty, 'Suka!

Chapter 3:
Rain, sadness and fluffy towels:
Burn my pain away.

"Don't worry." Riku tried to comfort the terrified Asuka "I won't let anything happen to you"
She just continued to cry.
"Maybe we should get you to Kairi's" He suggested.
Riku looked out the window. The storm was letting up a little. It'd be safe to walk there.
He pulled her up and helped her walk down the stairs.
Out the door.
Across the sand.
To Kairi's house (we go! ^__^ ---- Dork)
He rapped on the door and Kairi answered.
"What's wrong, Asuka? Riku, what happened?" She asked worridly.
"She remembered" He said simply.
Kairi's eyes widened
She stepped back and let the soaked teens walked in.
Riku sat Asuka in a chair at Kairi's dining room table.
Riku took a seat across from her.
"What happened?" Kairi asked.
Riku sat silent.
Finally, Asuka answered "The bolt of lightning. There was a storm like this when she died"
"When who died?" Kairi asked worridly, concerned.
"My mother." Asuka's eyes darkened."When I was little, she got sick and" She left it open. There was no need to finish.
Kairi walked over to her new friend and wrapped her arms around her.
She hugged her tightly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry" Kairi whispered. "I'm so sorry"
"Thank you, Kairi" Asuka whispered back.
"We should have Sora here" Riku said
"I'll call him" Kairi answered "The storms let up quite a bit, maybe it'll get through."
She loosened her grip on Asuka and walked into another room.
Asuka was only looking down. No emotion in her face.
"Are you okay?" Riku asked. He leaned over a little bit across the table.
"Yes. I'm fine" She answered. She was lying. And Riku could tell.
"You're not fine" He said simply.
Asuka hesitated.
She lifted her head and looked at Riku straight in the eyes.
"I feel...dirty. Used. Just..." She trailed off.
Riku looked so sad for her.
Kairi walked back in the room.
"He'll be here in a few minutes" She said. She took a seat next to Asuka.
"Now, can you tell us what happened?" Kairi asked bravely.
"I was maybe 5? I was going to a ballet recidal.
My mother said I looked cute and then she fell.
She had taken ill. A really bad sickness." Asuka stopped
Kairi shed a tear for her friend.
"Oh, god, Asuka. I...I can't imagine what it's like" Kairi said.
Suddenly the door burst open and Sora ran inside.
"Asuka, what happened?" He ran up to her.
"I-I'm fine" She said quickly "I don't want to talk about anymore.
"Alright" He finally said. He didn't want to push it.
Kairi stood up and touched her friend on the shoulder.
"Why don't you take a shower? It'll make you feel better" Kairi suggested with a smile.
Asuka stood up and let Kairi lead her up the stairs to her bathroom.
A confused Sora took the seat across from Riku
"Just WHAT happened?" Sora asked.
"She remembered her past" Riku told him.
"Tell me" Sora demanded
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Here's some towels" Kairi said. She set down a few fluffy towels on the edge of the tub.
"You turn the nob right for hot water and left for cold"
Asuka nodded.
"I'll be down stairs." Kairi took one last concerned look at her friend and closed the door,
making her way through her bedroom.
"Thank you" She said after her.
Asuka lifted her shirt above her head and let it fall to the floor.
She unbuttoned her shorts and let them fall, then slid out of the rest of her garments.
She sighed and stepped in the shower.
"Oh, god..." She mumbled. She leaned against the glass of the shower door. Her hands searched for the water nob.
She turned it right like Kairi said. She wanted hot water. She wanted hot water to burn off the pain.
To distract her body from it.
The water ran rivers down to her feet.
Her mind wandered.
'Riku held me' She finally realized 'He held me and reassured me. Maybe he could...like me?'
She shook her head. 'No, no... that's impossible. There's no way he could ever find ME attractive... But, still...'
She sighed again. and lifted her head up. The shower head sputtered.
The water seemed to clean her soul. Seemed to wash away the thought of her mother.
Asuka closed her eyes and just stood there, letting it rush over her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sora looked surprised.
"I never would have imagined" Sora admitted.
Kairi came down the stairs.
"I think she'll be okay" She said and took the seat next Sora. Close to Sora.
Riku tried to hide his hurt.
His eyes found the window.
"Hmm. The storm's stopped" He reported.
"Oh, good. We missed the sunset, but atleast we'll be able to see the stars" Kairi said relieved.
Sora and Kairi caught each toher's gaze and held it for a second. They smiled at each other.
Sora garbbed her hand.
'I can't stand this' Riku thought to himself.
He stood up and made his way to the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Sora asked
"I'm gonna wait for Asuka in Kairi's room" He said and walked up the stairs
Kairi looked worried, but Sora stiffled that with a kiss.
He made it up to her room and sat on her bed. He turned around and looked out the window.
Riku sat watching the stars.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and Asuka walked out.
She was dressed, but her long hair was soaking her back.
"Riku..." She said. She walked over and sat on the bed next to him.
He took a long look at her. "What?"
"I'm sorry. All this is my fault"
"What? No, it's not. none of this is your fault." He reassured her.
She took a deep breath "I'm tired" She said.
"Here, lay down" He told her. he pulled back the covers and tucked her in.
"Tell Kairi I'm sorry for taking her bed"
"Don't be. She won't mind" He reassured her yet again.
He stood there for a second and then finally walked out of the room.
He shut off the light
and closed the door.
She fell asleep to the sound of water dripping off the trees.
