Chapter 3
Tension's Rising
-
"Sorry I'm late, Ms. Harada!" Daisuke yelled, running into Risa's mansion. Risa and Daisuke had decided to do the project over at Risa's house, and Satoshi really didn't care. (1)
He threw her bag near her bed and sat down. Risa looked like she was having a hard time conversing with Satoshi… which was pretty much true. Satoshi wouldn't even answer her when it came to asking Satoshi questions.
"Um… so did you come up with any ideas?" he asked. They both stared at him, giving him the obvious answer.
-
"Your room is so cool!" Cindy cried, rolling around on Dark's bed. She immediately snuggled on his bed, making Riku's vein pop and Dark sweat dropped.
Riku groaned and got out her notebook, sitting on Dark's bed. "Will you please get to work?" she asked, tired of Cindy already. Dark sat down next to her, and whispered in her ear, "I'm sure we can get to work… if you know what I mean…" he said, his hot breath warming her ear.
"You… pervert!" she yelled, pushing him off the bed.
Cindy looked at Riku, trying to figure out what just happened. Apparently, she had no idea. Dark rubbed his head, trying to make the pain go away. He finally crawled back on the bed. Cindy resumed to looking around Dark's room.
"Geez, I was just kidding!" Dark said, his head still sore.
Riku rolled her eyes, starting to get a headache. "I gotta go to the bathroom," she said, trying to get away from the chaos. (2)
As she made her way downstairs, she heard the doorbell ring. Knowing she had to get it sooner or later, Dark would ask her either way, she answered it. There stood Krad, the blonde (3) himself.
"Uh… hi," Riku said, moving out of the way to let him in.
She still wasn't very comfortable around Krad, ever since that 'incident' that happened. Well, she did leave him for Dark…
"Hi," he responded in a monotone voice and headed up the stairs. (4)
Riku was a little relieved. That relief went away when he came back downstairs.
"Project going OK?" he asked.
"Oh. Yeah. Perfect," she said, turning around. (5)
Upstairs, Dark was having a similar dilemma. Except, when you were with a slut, things tend to heat up really quickly. (6) By now, she already had her arms around Dark's neck. Being the gentleman he was, he couldn't push her off. (7) Sure, he wasn't very gentleman-ly with Risa, but he thought of Risa, but he hardly knew this girl. As well as, he was pretty sick… so yeah. Luckily, he came up with an excuse and went to see how his fair Riku was doing. However, that was a big mistake.
"I… should be going upstairs now," Riku said, trying to escape. Somehow, along the way, the honey-dew haired girl managed to slip.
Luckily for her, she didn't hit the ground. Or maybe that was unluckily.
Krad had just barely caught her, and broke her fall (8) but they managed to get in a really awkward position. Yes, I can even describe it. He was on top of her, and she was under him (9) with her leg's spread out. Yes, the green skirt was a bad idea. (10) And somehow – just somehow – their lips managed to touch. His blonde hair tingled on her ear, making her twitch.
Not to mention, Dark had escaped from Cindy and come in after the slip-and-fall. Cindy even came down to make matters worse.
"I told you, I told you!" she said, frantically pointing to Krad and Riku.
By his expression, Riku could tell he thought the wrong thing.
"It's not like that," Riku immediately said, still under Krad. "I just fell and Krad… it's nothing!"
Cindy raised an eyebrow. "Then why are you still under him?"
Riku looked up, realized her position, and quickly separated from Krad. She was in such a hurry to explain herself that she forgot her position.
She tried to explain herself once again – the events, but was interrupted by a knock at the door. Apparently, it was Risa, coming to get her and tell her how her gathering didn't go well all because of Hiwatari. Before that happened, she noticed the silence in the room, and with her brown eyes, examined the surroundings.
Dark sitting at the table. With a pissed off look as well.
Cindy smiling like an imp.
Krad sitting on the floor, looking at his bruised hand.
Riku standing in front of her, looking at her feet.
The silence was broken when Riku said a 'Bye' to Dark.
He didn't bother to answer her.
-
"Exactly what happened?" Risa asked, in her frilly pink pajamas and all.
Riku stayed quiet, just recalling the events in her head. She didn't know what to say to Dark tomorrow – he probably was buying all the lies Cindy came up with.
She picked up the phone when it rang, surprised to hear Dark's voice.
"Is Riku there?"
Riku didn't know what to say. She gulped and said 'speaking'. Risa glanced at her.
She knew she couldn't explain herself, so she let Dark speak. She would regret it later.
"This isn't working."
Riku stood up from her chair. "What do you mean? Of course it is!" she yelled, hoping and wishing this wasn't happening.
Dark ran a hand through his purple hair. It pained him to do this, but he knew he had to.
"I want to break up."
Riku almost thought her heart stopped. Risa looked up at her, almost sensing what was happening. Maybe it was obvious by the tears running down her face. She slammed the phone down, and ran to her room, shutting the door.
"Riku..!"
"Just leave me alone!" she said, retreating to a dark corner in the room.
What she needed was a good cry.
-
Dark hung up the phone, sighing. From the door, Krad moved away, seeing this as a dear chance to 'eliminate the competition'.
And so, it begun.
Authors Note: My first chapter I'm proud of! Poor Riku…. aw… right now, I'm not taking anymore ideas, I have the hole story plotted in my head! I think there is going to be at least 7 chapters… but it's far from over! It took me forever to write this – I didn't write it off the top of my head like I usually do. When I plan it, I turns out a lot better… Well, anyway, review! If you wanna ask me any questions or just talk, IM me at my AOL screenname, (rikuharada97) :D Later!
(1) Such an anti-social.
(2) She should know better.
(3) SEXY! I love you Krad-kuls… lol XD
(4) He's just so sexy. Even when talking like a robot.
(5) 3 straight un-complete sentences.
(6) Not that way… you perverts…
(7) Ne, I guess Harada-san was right… (Risa)
(8) oOo, Krad, are you OK?
(9) No dib, Sherlock.
(10) I know what you're going to say. Riku doesn't wear skirts? In fact, in the anime and in the manga, she does. :D
