Night's Sky.
Chapter Four- Restless Dreaming.
I walked back passed the park, nearing my home with every step I took. The street lights had now come on, and the night-life for a saturday night started attracting attening. A few bars had opened, neo signs above the door. I liked the city liked this, the views were bright and reminded me of normal life. I took a deep breath as I walked through the surroundings. I lived on the edge of the city centre, where the night-life was minimal.
I carried on walking, not taking any shortcuts, just following the main pathway. People were wondering around, talking and laughing. I was nearing th movie theatre now, I stopped to look at what was showing lately. Maybe Jeri and I could go see a film together soon. Then I saw him. He sensed me, and smiled. He walked over to me.
"Hi." He said, showing his bold, trademark smile.
"Hi Akiyama." he rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing out this late?" he asked me, smiling a little.
"Going home." I said simply. I looked away from his eyes. They were full of so much brightness and life, I liked the way his eyes showed his feelings and emotions. Henry's did the same.
"Oh." he said, looking in another direction also. "Fancy seeing a movie instead? could use the company?"
"I would, but I've gotta get back. See ya Akiyama." I smiled a small smile and walked away. Leaving him and the movie theatre behind. I could feel his gaze lingering on my back. I didn't stop though, I just carried on walking.
Five minutes later I reached my home. Opening the gate, with out making it creak for once, I walked inside my garden and sat by the pond. I layed down on the soft grass. My watch read seven thirty and the stars had already started showing. I traced invisble lines with my fingers, connecting the stars in strange shapes.
After a while of gazing, and thinking, I headed in doors. It was a lot colder now, much colder than it was outside the movie place. 'Thats because he was there' My mid spoke. I shook my head.
"No, it was because the heat from inside was coming out, plus there were a lot of people there." I whispered back, but somehow, I didn't quite believe myself.
"Rika, is that you honey?" I heard my mother call as I walked inside the door.
"Yeah Mom, sorry I'm back so late." I called to her. She came out of her room, dressed, for once, in casual clothes.
"Oh thats okay."
"Where's Grandma?" I asked looking around the kitchen frameway. There used to be a door, but grandma thought it looked better without it.
"She's in her room. Your food is on the table, it hasn't been out long so it should stll be warm." My mother went into the living room and turned on he television. I walked into the kitchen and sat down to eat. Spiced Chicken with Lemon grass and Coconut rice and fresh vegitables. I smelled good, and tasted even better.
After I had eaten, I went into the bathroom and ran myself a bath. Usually a shower would have done me fine. As I let the water run I headed into my room and grabbed my pajamers and a fresh towel from the linen closet. It was warm and soft.
I spent a while letting the warm water run over my skin and the lavender aromotherapy oil relax me. I only used this stuff because it helped me sleep at night, and I wasn't the kind of girl to let gifts go to waste. The fact that I liked Lavender didn't matter.
I got out and dryed myself off. I pulled on my pajamers and went over to the sink to brush my teeth. I looked into the mirror and for once, I liked what I saw. I wasn't beautiful, but I was stronger now. Better than before. My mother had often commented on how healthy I looked. I ate a little more now too, not that I was anorexic or anything, but I never seemed to eat much in the days of the D-Reaper.
Slowly I walked over to my bed. I knew from the moment I layed down, I wouldn't get to sleep for a while. Until I had done something anyway.
"Renamon." I called out queitly to my fellow friend.
"Yes Rika?" She asked appearing from the shadows.
"Watch out for Ryo tonight please?" I said, blushing alittle.
"As you wish Rika." and she left. Lulling me into a content and peaceful slumber. The dreams of Ryo playing in my mind. Unconciously a smile, and a small one at that, played across my lips.
************
I liked this side of me a little more than I would normally. But I was happy, not entirely, but I was happier than before.
So what do you think? I know its short, and I will try and write longer chapters! Anyways, as always please review! Thanks! xXx.
