Nocturnal Maidens
-chapter 7-
Mariah drummed her fingers on the wood of her bedpost as she continued her suggestions with a slight smile. "So, what do you think should we do for the last months of our life?"
Emily grumbled, "You really didn't have to put it that way. You make it more depressing."
Mariah just glared, but her face suddenly formed a look of wonder. "Come to think of it... Where the heck is Riku? She's the one who usually brightens up the mood."
Shura fingered her necklace and the crystal that hung from it. "Guys. There's four of us, and our spirits are linked by two's."
Mariah and Emily both raised one eyebrow. Kenny left after a few persuasions from Dizzi. The three of them were the only ones left in Mariah's bedroom. "So, what's your point?"
"Both of your spirits are linked. My spirit is linked with Riku's... And I can't sense Riku anywhere."
"...WHAT~?!"

Staring at the spot where her supposed-to-be victim disappeared, Riku's eyes were flashing from red to purple, purple to red. The aura still surrounded her body and she was still floating. She titled her head to the side, annoyingly slow. She stared at the boys that was still shackled to the wall.
Seeing them tense up at her intense stare, she smiled softly. "I don't hurt the innocent." She raised her hand a bit and a red ribbon appeared. She slowly put her hair back in it's original ponytail with eyes closed. The aura disappeared, and she slowly landed back on the ground. When she opened her eyes, no more red irises, but violet orbs.
Now in her normal state, she quickly ran over to the BladeBreakers. Each shackle broke with a single touch.
Ray stared as he plopped on the ground, rubbing one of his wrists. "How...?"
"Apricot's gone so the spell on the shackles disappeared as well. So they break and turn into ashes when someone touches it." Riku gave a peace sign.
"Well... that was a shocking experience." Max blinked,
Riku looked away, "I'm really sorry you had to get involved in this. Plus, you shouldn't have seen what you just saw."
"Don't worry about it." All eyes turned to Kai, who was slowly standing up. Said boy just ignored the stares. "What did you mean by we were too young? You're the same age as us."
Riku blushed at that, "I'm... 515 years old. 516 next month."
Ray and Max's eyes bulged out, "Seriously?! B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but you... look like..."
"A teenager, I know. You must be surprised to know that I'm already an old lady." Riku grinned, "But haven't you been watching the fight? Or at least trying to understand what Apricot and I are saying? I'm a Dark Angel." A flash of sadness appeared in her eyes, but it was gone before it even came. "Which means I can live for eternity. I'm immortal. Just like other creatures are. Except I have five lives."
Sweatdrop.
Her eyes roamed to the side and that's when she finally noticed Tyson, who has been strangely quiet. She watched as said boy rubbed his aching wrists, and how the boy's face was tinted tomato red. "T... Tyson?"
Tyson nearly jumped a feet high at that. "W-what is it?"
Riku stood up and bowed apologetically, "I know that what you said was just an idea to make me snap back to reality, and that you really didn't mean it. Eto... and... arigatou gozaimas!"
If possible, Tyson got even redder. He stood up as well, but his back was facing the others. "What I said wasn't a lie. It was the truth."

Yoko smiled to herself as she watched the scene from her crystal ball. Right after the girls had left, she quickly tried to find Riku after sensing something wrong in the said girl's aura. Yep. She watched everything.
"Really, Riku. It seems that you and your Dark Spirit are getting closer and closer. To the point where both of you might even be friends."
Unbelievable...

Shura blinked.
Mariah looked at her, "What is it now?"
"What's wrong?" Emily followed suit,
Shura fingered her pendant with a slight smirk, "Nandemonai." You always loved doing things alone, Riku.

Eto - this is a word used like when you're still thinking of something to say. It sometimes translates as "Um..." or something like that. ^^;;
Arigatou Gozaimas - Thank you very much
Nandemonai - Nothing
.
Author's Notes: I know that you all might be mad at me for putting Riku in the spotlight. ^^;; Demo... I'm focusing on the OC's first, before I get to the real job. I mean, the original characters from the series has to have the most complicated story, ne? ^^ Next OC, Lomelindel's Shura Mikawatsu!

Ah, reviewers and flamers! I love you all! *glomps* =3 And yes, the flamer, too.
*Scarlet Witch 41 (scarlet_witch41@hotmail.com) - Well, tough luck. I was born on July, 1993. You can even check with a calculator. Heck, I've got other two classmates who can write like me. Besides, it's not impossible that a ten-year-old can write like this. And about your brother, there also some 10-year-olds like that who can't spell some words. No offence to him, of course, since I'm talking to you.
*Galux Cat - Arigatou! *glomps* ^_^!
*Mirrored Soul - Wai!! Tyson's blushing! XD And don't worry! More romance you want, more romance you'll get! =3
