Sarah: I better thank Zanisha for the info about Riku.
Sienna, Maritza & Jasmine: What kind of info?
Sarah: Why his pants look heavy? He wears a pair of regular pants and then, a puffier pair over them, starting at mid-thigh according to Zanisha.
Justine: -appears- Hiya! So, that's why his pants look so weird.
Sienna: Weird, but he's still Riku.
Riku: -appears from the shadows- I'm not deaf! I heard everything.
Maritza: Sarah's in trouble now. –Laughs outloud-
Jasmine: Not again. –Shakes her head- Sarah's gonna get into a fight with her favorite KH character.
Sarah: Don't blame me! Blame Square Enix about your pants! Oh yeah! Blame Zanisha for telling me! (Just kidding about that.)
Chapter eight: Meeting Riku's family
Two weeks passed after that date. Skye and Riku were inseparable now. You would never see Riku without Skye. Everyone thought they were a match made in heaven. All except one, Selphie. "Her popularity is increasing because of Riku." Selphie muttered angrily. 'Stay calm, Selph. Don't try to get jealous.' Before she knew it, Selphie was green with envy.
"Hey look! She's jeal..." Yuna whispered to Kairi, who shushed her up. "Shut up! Let's see how angry she is." Tidus grinned, "On a scale from one to ten, how jealous is she, Sora?" Sora smirked, "Ten."
He closely observed Riku and Skye. It seemed the dare wasn't a dare anymore. But, the look on their faces, the act wasn't fake. It was slowly becoming real. "Hmm. The act's not an act. They're starting to actually be a couple." Tidus nodded in agreement. "They're really made for each other."
"Guys, run. Selphie's coming." Yuna ordered. Kairi shoved Sora and Tidus the direction opposite to Selphie. "Tidus, remember our little bet about them." Sora whispered. Tidus eyed his classmate carefully, "Yeah, why?"
"We're gonna find out if they've in love with each other." Sora whispered under his breath, so only Tidus could hear. "How, man? That's the problem. Riku and Skye are tough to crack. They'll never tell." Tidus whined.
"I overheard them sometime yesterday saying that they would meet up with each other at the beach alone." Sora grinned. Tidus stood there, shocked. "You're not think of spying, are you?" Sora pouted, "Well, it's not really spying. It's eavesdropping." Tidus glared at his best friend, "Sora, you're clueless. Spying is when you watch and listen. Eavesdropping is when you listen not see."
"Tidus's right, brudda." Wakka walked by, spinning his blitzball. "Were you listening to us?" Sora sounded a little pissed off. Wakka shook his head, "Not really, brudda. I just came by when ya said that." Sora felt relieved that no one except Tidus knew of the plan.
That same day at the beach...
"Are you sure they're not spying?" Skye asked. Riku jumped onto the tree and stayed there. "Skye, don't be paranoid. I'm sure." Skye sat down next to him on the paupo tree and let her head rest on his shoulder. 'I want to tell him. But, I'm afraid my heart might get broken somehow.' She thought.
'I've been dying to tell you how I feel, Skye. But, I can't seem to find the right moment to tell you.' Riku was gently brushing her black hair away from her sapphire-blue eyes. Looking at her eyes, they filled him with hope that their relationship would last. "Riku, I love you." Skye said below a whisper.
"Did you say something, Skye?" He asked. Skye shook her head and kissed his cheek. "Remember when we first kissed." Riku reminded.
Skye nodded, "Yeah, I remember. Yuna, Tidus, Sora and Kairi were the ones who started it all."
"Skye!" Riku yelled. He ran across the bridge to her. "Riku, you sound nervous about something." Skye looked at her boyfriend, "Are you?" "Well, I've wanted to tell you this," Riku gulped, "Skye, I love you. I have ever since that first date we had." Skye was stunned, "Riku, I love you too. I was too afraid to tell you though."
"May I ask one simple question?" Riku asked. Skye nodded. He took out a velvet jewelry box and opened it. Inside was a diamond ring, "Will you marry me?"
Skye jerked awake. "Too good to be true." Next to her, she saw Riku, asleep. He looked so cute and innocent when he was asleep. She didn't even have the energy to wake him. 'Where am I? Oh crap. I think I fell asleep last night,' Skye looked around the room, 'Great, I'm at Riku's. Selphie would really kill me now if she found out.' She quickly hid under the sheets because the door flew open.
A silver-haired man about maybe three years older than Riku walked in. He had long silver hair, longer than Riku's. "RIKU! GET UP! IT'S NOON!" He yelled. Riku let out a low groan, "Yazoo, I'm still sleepy. Can't I get any privacy anymore?" "KADAJ, LOZ AND I ARE GETTING TIRED OF YOU SLEEPING IN!" The so-called Yazoo shouted. (A/N: Yeah, they're from Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children the movie. I do my Final Fantasy research. In the fic, they're Riku's brothers.)
"LITTLE BRO! GET UP!" The person called Loz walked in. He looked like Yazoo and Riku, but the only difference was the hairstyle. His was held up by gel. "Great, Riku has three brothers and never told me." Skye muttered. "Hey Kadaj! 'Ku refuses to get up!" Yazoo yelled.
"Then, pull the sheets off if he doesn't get up!!" Another voice whom Skye assumed was Kadaj. Then, both Loz and Yazoo pulled the sheets off, revealing Riku and Skye. (A/N: CLOTHES ON, KEEP YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER IF YOU HAD DIRTY THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT!) "KADAJ!" Loz yelled. "What the heck is going on in there?" Kadaj ran up to his younger brother's room and saw them. He had short, silver hair like Riku. At the ends, his didn't stick up to the sides. All Riku's brothers wore tight black clothing.
"Our little bro finally got himself a girl." Loz said gratefully. Kadaj gave his older brother a death glare similar to Riku's. "Shut up." Skye said coldly. "Loz, calm down. Wait until Dad finds out." Yazoo taunted, laughing at Riku. Riku rolled his eyes and sat back down on the bed.
'Kadaj and Riku almost look alike. But, there are a few differences. Their eyes. Riku has turquoise and Kadaj has silver ones. And the hair.' Skye thought, looking at Riku. "She can stay until Dad gets home. Just don't get into trouble." At that moment, Kadaj and the two other brothers left the room.
"Riku, what happened last night?" Skye asked, "I remember being on the beach and that's it." "Well, you fell asleep and I brought you here." Riku replied. "RIKU! PHONE! IT'S TIDUS!" Yazoo yelled. "I'm coming!" Riku then turned to his girlfriend. As if she read his mind, she said, "Don't worry. I won't go anywhere."
Riku nodded and got the phone.
-On the phone-
Riku: Yup, Tidus. What's up?
Tidus: What exactly happened between you and Skye last night?
Riku: -twitching uncontrollably- Why are you asking?
Sora: I told you it was a bad idea to ask.
Riku: Great, all three of us are on three-way.
Sora: Yup, of course.
Tidus: Shut up, Sora! Where's Skye right now?
Riku: Why should I tell you?
Sora: 'Fess up. Where's Skye?
Tidus: She's probably in his room.
Riku: Shut up already.
Tidus: How did your brothers react?
Riku: You don't want to know.
Sora: Ah-ha! She is at your place!
Riku: Shut up! How many times do I have to say that?
Tidus: You still have answer my question! What happened last night?
Sora: Tidus, I don't think Riku would want to talk about it now.
Riku: Got that right!
Tidus: You still have to tell sooner or later. See ya.
Sora: Bye.
Riku: Later.
Riku hung up on them. "They're gonna drive me crazy one day." Loz paid no attention to his little brother. "Then, why do you hang out with them?" Kadaj asked. Riku shrugged in reply. "They might be crazy. But, they're still my best friends."
Loz had an evil glint in his eye that only Kadaj and Yazoo could see. "Don't even try to ask that, Loz." They snapped in unison. "What? I was just gonna ask 'Ku how he met her." Loz said going defensive.
"She has a name, you know. And it's Skye," Riku said, "Do I have to explain?" "Yes." Loz was being nosy again. "Why do you like nosing around in 'Ku's business, Loz?" Yazoo asked.
He didn't answer. Riku rolled his eyes and explained how he saved her life and everything else. "So, you saved her life and now, you two are dating because of a dare." Loz chuckled. Riku glared at him, "The other option was worse. Thanks to Sora." "Yeah, it was." Skye came down the stairs and kissed Riku on the cheek.
"A dare, huh?" Kadaj smirked. Skye rolled her eyes, "You know we have to date for two months. But, Riku didn't tell you we have to show signs of it."
Then, they heard the front door slam shut. "Great, Dad's home." Riku muttered. Sephiroth walked into the kitchen and saw his four sons and her, clutching Riku's hand. "Who's she?" He asked. "Umm...father. Meet Skye, Riku's girlfriend. Skye, meet our father, Sephiroth, the famous ex-SOLDIER." Yazoo introduced. "Hello, Mr. Valentine." Skye was nervous. 'Great. Thanks a lot, Yazoo. I was just going to leave.'
"Hello Skye. It's good to know that one of my sons finally has a girlfriend." Sephiroth said, "Now, excuse me. I have to talk to Kadaj." Both he and Kadaj left the room. It took a while for her to calm down. "Riku, I'm sorry. I have to go home." Skye said, leaving the first door. Riku followed her out to the front yard, "Hey! How about a another date on Saturday?"
"Sure." Skye nodded. "Great, Meet me at the small island at the beach." Riku sounded like he had a surprise for her.
"Sorry to interupt the conversation. Skye, you have to get home. Sis is gonna kill me if you're not home before she is." The two turned to see Leon there with Skye's motorcycle. "How'd you find me?" His niece asked. "It was pretty obvious for you to be here." Leon replied emotionlessly. "All right, see ya, Riku." Skye ran to her 18-year-old uncle and got on the bike.
Leon turned the keys and sped off. "So, what happened?" He asked. Skye was getting a little annoyed, "Met Riku's family. His brothers are okay. Riku's dad scares me a little." "You mean Sephiroth?" Leon asked. Skye nodded, "Yeah."
"Don't worry. He scared me at first too. He can scare anyone." Leon explained, keeping his eyes on the road. "So, how's your relationship with Yuffie going?" Skye asked with an evil glint in her eye. "Even though I can't look at you, I can sense that glint in your eye. And no, we did not go past making out." Leon snapped.
Later on...
"She's back." Leon said in a teasing tone. Skye rolled her eyes and groaned, "I'm going back to bed. I didn't get enough sleep last night. Later." "Skye! It's three in the afternoon! You should be out at the beach or doing something! Not sleeping the whole day away!" Ellone snapped.
"Nothing any of you do is gonna stop me from taking a nap. I've been so tired since this morning even though I woke up at noon." When Skye hit her warm bed, she instantly fell asleep.
"Come on! I want to show you something!" Riku ran ahead of her, across the bridge and jumped off. He looked like he was about in his late-twenties. Skye seemed to glide. He led her to a cave they called the secret place. "Riku, why'd you bring me here?"
Riku didn't speak and didn't even turn to look at her. "He didn't hear me. Why?" He was staring at the wooden door in front of him. It looked very ancient and creepy. "Why'd you drag me all the way here, Dad?" A young girl asked. She was about seven years old. She had long silver hair tied in a ponytail and sapphire eyes. The young girl wore a pink skirt and white tank top. Then, both heard a woman giggle.
"Riku, why did you bring little Kari here? I thought she was scared of this place." The woman's voice said. "Mom, I'm not scared of this cave anymore." The little girl called Kari ran right through Skye to the woman hiding in the shadows of the cave.
Skye turned to see two arms wrapped around the child. "If Riku's the father, who's the mother of Kari?" Riku looked into the shadows and saw two sapphire eyes like his daughter's. "You can come out of hiding." The woman stepped out of the shadows and Skye gasped. She was the mother of Kari, Riku's child. She looked a little older like Riku, in her late-twenties. She wore a light blue tank top and a white skirt. Her hair was still the same color, but past her shoulders. 'This is just a dream. Just a dream.' Young Skye kept reminding herself.
"This is the very place." Older Skye whispered. "Very place of what, Mom?" Kari questioned. Her deep blue eyes widened, "Please tell me." "Never mind, Kari. You might not want to hear it." Older Skye smiled. She knew her daughter would be begging sooner or later.
"Come on, Mom. Please tell me." Kari begged. Older Skye looked at her husband, "Should we tell her?" Riku nodded. Older Skye sighed, "Kari, do you remember the place I told you about where your father asked me to marry him?" "I think so." Kari sat next in-between her parents.
"Well, Kari. This was the very place." Riku said to his daughter.
Skye groaned as she woke up because of loud footsteps. "That was a really good dream." Skye said, trying to get out of bed. "Hey! Get up, sleepy-head." Leon opened the door and got a bucket of water ready. "What is it this time?" Skye asked her uncle. Then, Yuffie popped up out of nowhere. "Hi, what's up?"
"You talk in your sleep, you know." Leon mentioned. "Shut up! It's only nine at night. And you just had to wake me up, didn't you?" Skye said, getting under the blankets of her bed again. "It's been six hours since you last ate! At least, try to eat something!" Ellone ordered.
"No thanks! I'm not hungry." Skye moaned. "That's what you said the last time when you acted like this." Ellone muttered. "I sleep more than I waste time on my hair." Skye groaned, "Isn't that enough to get you off my case?" "Oh yeah. Kairi called about six times." Leon mentioned.
"It'd be worse if it was Selphie." Skye whined. Yuffie giggled, "Kairi wanted to talk to you about something important. I guess she can wait until tomorrow." After that, Skye glared at Leon one last time before going back to sleep.
