It was late in the night, nearly daybreak, yet two teens were out walking in the brisk winter air. Ryo and Rika walked side by side silently, occasionally glancing over at their companion. Ryo found his eyes being drawn more frequently to Rika. He noticed how the early moonlight played upon her pale face, reflecting in her violet orbs, making her look almost childish. Rika noticed the brunette staring at her curiously and smiled to herself. Turning to him she smirked slightly, her eyes sparkling micheviously.
"What's so fascinating about me now Akiyama?" She asked the startled boy. Ryo locked eyes with the girl before him and held the gaze for a long while, deep blue clashing with gentle amethyst. He studied her, contemplating how to respond when his cell phone rang out into the silent night abruptly. Sighing in relief, Ryo fumbled through his coat pocket to extract his phone.
"Ryo." He greeted. Rika watched his face closely. It went from passive to worried in a split second. His eyebrows furrowed in concern.
"What is it?" Rika asked curiously. He handed her the phone in response. A woman's voice was on the other line. It was gentle but frantic, muttering something incomprehensible. Suddenly the woman's words became more urgent. Rika could now understand.
"Purification Day!" The woman cried. "It's coming Moon Child. You must stop the evil. The shadows draw closer every second, they move in the dead of night. You must hurry Moon Child. Gather your forces soon and venture to the other world. You must stop the shadows Moon Child! Stop them before it's too late!" With the woman's words hanging in the air, Rika shut the phone and stared ahead silently. Ryo watched her for a long time until she turned to him with silent tears streaming down her face. He had never seen Rika cry in all the time he'd known her and was confused as she stood before him, tears flowing freely. Suddenly he pulled her into a tight embrace and felt her arms quickly wrap around his own body. Rika nuzzled her head into Ryo's broad chest seeking comfort in the older boy. He stroked her hair gently whispereing soothing words in her ear.
"I'm scared Ryo." She said after a while. Ryo looked down at her in astonishment. "I really am." He only held her closer. The earliest light of day was shining. The early morning sun shone upon the two tired teenagers. Ryo held the violet eyed girl with every ounce of energy he had left from his long evening excursion and Rika held on to him with as much force. Both stayed in the others arms in the mroning sun, completely content. Rika looked up into the blue eyes of her protector and smiled half-heartedly before pushing the older boy away from her. Ryo stared at her in confusion but she just nodded and began to walk away from him. He watched her go and was so engrossed in his thoughts he didn't hear Henry's footsteps from behind him.
"There she goes man." He said softly, fixing his gray eyes on the girl.
"The most amazing girl in the world." Ryo replied with a smile.
RG: Very short. Very Ryuki.
Kazu: Please read and review!
