Part two:Life a dream?
Chapter 2:Fortune's turning point
A/n: This is the last chapter that I wrote out in my notebook, meaning the other chapters are going to take time. U Just hope I can get ideas until then. Discouragement isn't a good thing or else it stops here.-- corny --
Rika
'It's been been 3 days since I last saw my dad. Is he planning another way? But the way he looked at me in the hospital....he was sincere.' she recalled.'Is there a reason I've been in contact with him for the past 4 months?'
"Ryo said they wanted to catch up with you like they used to. Do you want to go?"
"Sure."
She got off and promised her mom that she would return home safely. As she made her way to the place she heard voices from inside the room.
"Do you think your dad stopped?" Jeri asked.
"I dunno. He can if he wants to."
"Speaking of which, I ran into him yesterday. We just passed each other by though, no words spoken." Ryo remebered.
"Did he know that it was you?" Takato sat with them.
"I think so, he did glance a bit then ignored me."Ryo noticed.
"He's living casually, I think he's come to his senses." Henry added.
"What if he did change?"Rika silenced the room."What if I can trust him now like I did before?"
"Rika, not to make you mad or anything, but poeple like that don't change that quick." Jeri replied.
"Are you sure? I mean, he was nicer to me when I was a kid. Then almost 3-6 years later he shows up and beats me. "
"It's almost 2 years." Ryo said.
'But he hasn't shown anything. Why do I even want to trust him that much? ' Rika asked herself.
"Makes us wonder.....especially you."Kazu stepped in.
"I told you everything you wanted to know, so that's it."
Another silence took over. They all sat waiting for something to happen.
"Hello ! May I take your orders?" the waitress greeted the room.
Ryo
'It has something to do with her dad for sure. She's been wondering about him. What did he say to her the last time they met?' he ate quietly.'What did he say?'
"This is supposed to be a social meeting....so why isn't there any talking?!" Jeri exclaimed.
"Nice...weather we're having?" Takato brought up.
"....ya..." Henry joined in.
'What did he say that made you wonder about his trust?' Ryo looked at Rika. She, noticing that he's been looking at her for a while now decided to talk.
"What are you looking at?!!"
"Huh? Oh....the...food...." he quickly thought up.
' I need to stop doing that.'
"You better be." Rika went back to eating peacefully.
AFter wards
'Mom's busy. So she can't blame me for walking home.' Rika sighed.
"I'll walk with you."Ryo went with her.
"I didn't ask you."
"I'm doing it for free."
'My dad was sad the last time I saw him. He is alone somewhere in need of someone. Didn't he start a new family?' she continued to ask.
"There you go again. What's bugging you?"
"What?"
"You're always thinking about your dad. What's wrong with him?"
"I.........rememeber his expression the last time I saw him." she hesistated a bit. "I don't think he was lying."
"That's why you think he changed. But what about trusting him now? What got you to that?"
"Time I guess. But then that question could pertain to you too. What about trusting you? What got me to do that?" Rika asked back.
"You are trying to make me wonder about that."
"I am, because your brain needs to exercise sometime."
"So...time. What about trusting me?" Ryo smirked.
"You have to figure that one out yoursef."
"At least I was close."
The rest of the walk was a quiet one while people passed by.
LAter that day
"You're Rika's friend aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Well, what brings you here?"
"It's about Rika."
"Oh...well.......ok....shoot."
"I was wondering what you said to her the last time you met."
"Well...that if she needed anything from me she could call me."
'So, that must be why she wanted to trust him. He offered her help.'Ryo realized.
"Thank you. Good bye."
"Sure."
Ryo walked out. He now knew. But if Rika were to catch him near Mr. Makino, what would she do?
"You are troubled, are you not?" a hooded woman asked. Ryo stopped walking and looked at her."You need not know me or my name. I am merely a fortune teller without pay."
"You will fall to stumble upon an event. You will only acquire one big ally and one no more. All of you talk about this person and have heard of him."
Ryo paid attention not matter how weird it sounded.
"Do not break what shall occur, or it will all take you with it. Do not follow what the others say. Because you know the right way."
"Ryo?"
He turned around to find Rika. The fortuneteller gone.
"What are you doing here?" Rika asked.
"Nothing."he looked back at where the lady was.
"Whatever."
"So, where are you going?" Ryo changed the subject.
"Somewhere." Rika began walking again.
"I'll go with you." he went with her.
'What did that old lady mean? Why did she tell me anyway?'
Mr. Makino
'It's been a while since I began to live my own life.'he exhaled his smoke.'Should've known this is how my life would be.'
He still smoked his cigarette out of the window.
"What do I do next?" He asked himself. He had a chance to live his life now, but what is he going to do next?
"Hey Makino, you're going to die." his roomate said. Makino looked at him."Smokings gonna kill you."
"Old habits die hard."
'I need another life.'
Ryo
"So. Are you planning anything after your girlfriend?"
"She's not my girlfriend. And yes, go back to school."
"Good. I thought you were going to stop." Mr. Akiyama drank coffee."You shouldn't waste time like that. Well at the middle of your life anyway."
"There's nothing wrong with that." Ryo stopped eating."I'm just doing things as I sort of do for you."
"I'll just leave this topic on hold. I don't know where it'll lead."
'Could it be talking about my dad? One big ally?' Ryo stared at his food.'Could he?'
"Dad, I'm going to walk." he got up.
Rika
' Life's been weirding on me. I can't tell if things are actually happening. Which is right?' she sat in her room.'Maybe the true question is What is real?'
"Rika, are you in there?"
"Ya."
"Your friend is here."
Rika's door opened. Ryo walked in wearing a different uniform.
"Hi Rika, you have a message delivery." Ryo came in. She froze.
"Nice room." he looked around.
' No. This can't be happening.........'
Flashbackl
"Your mom let me in. Anyways, I'm here to drop off something personally. It was requested." Ryo took something out of his pocket.
End flashback(i kno, short)
"It's my real job aside from the daycare. I'm a message delivery person." he extended the note." It's not from me. I just give it."
'But...that was what happend..' she didn't move.
"I...don't want it."
"C'mon Rika. Just take it. Throw it away after or something, but you need to take it."
Rika raised her hand for the note.
'Should I take it?'
