Episode 09: Rika

Himeno stood in front the abandoned broken temple once again however this time, she was wearing something different other her school uniform or her everyday casual clothes. She was wearing an eerie white kimono and red loose trousers: priestess usual clothes. The birds started chipping around, melodiously. The scenery suddenly changed, the temple wasn't broken anymore, it looked new, pretty and familiar. It was different than what she imagined. She felt she loved this temple more than anything. Instead of her everyday visit to the old unhygienic temple, it looked pleasant to see. She feel calm within, it seemed like the temple was protecting her all this time. "Himeno…" She heard a pretty voice and turned to her right. She saw a long brown haired lady as age as her standing under the Sakura Blossom tree, enjoying the windy afternoon. She was wearing some kind of an old dress.

She held her right hair and moved it to her back of her right ear. 'Who is it?' Himeno thought by herself, with narrowed and curious eyes. Who was that girl appearing before her? She looked so pretty and gentle. "I want to see Dark!" Himeno was surprised, her heart beat twice, how does she know Dark? Her eyes were wide and the pupils were tiny inside. The girl turned to her and she looked like Rika and Riku's face, "I really love him!" Himeno felt that words were familiar, even the sound but the girl's face suddenly changed unexpected just Himeno tried to ask why. The pretty look changed into a deadly bloody terrifying face, with tears, "Himeno…" Her voice was weak and she tried to raise her arm, as she was on the floor. Himeno's eyes grew wider, her face was pale and white. Not even that, she was standing in the temple now, beside the door, looking at the wounded girl. "Himeno…" The girl looked up and her eyes were filled with tears but what was streaming on her cheeks were… blood! Himeno felt her heart broke into pieces: that wasn't the first, she gasped deep and blinked twice silently and screamed, "RIKA!"

Himeno lifted up her body as a response, with sweat drops all over. "What was that?" She looked at her palms; she still looked pale and scared to her wits. The dream was getting clearer and a bit understandable. It was good symbol but she felt it was getting more… daunting, apart of her want to hesitate but she wanted to know what really happened to her. A minute later, she realized she was shivering deeply, even her legs were. She bit her lips, and cupped her face. She felt water on her cheeks; she wanted to cry but why? She dampened her face on her palms and started crying even more.

She stopped as soon as she remembered she screamed a name, "Rika?" Surely Daiki and Dark mentioned that name last time but who was she? Why was she apart of her dream? "Rika…" She repeated and held on her chest, she felt she knew that name and that girl somewhere. She was the important person in her life… somehow… "Himeno…" She froze; it was the voice as the one in her dream. The image of the pretty girl appeared in her mind, smiling at her with an umbrella. She turned to her right and the window opened by its own. The night wind blew the curtains strongly and someone kept calling her.

Himeno felt that she should follow the voice and got up from the bed, 'Who is calling me?' She thought by her own, her eyes were dark pitch. She headed towards the window slowly. "Himeno… come here… I need to talk to you something important…" The sound was sweet and attractive. Himeno closed her eyes and nodded. She vanished from the window balcony.

Daisuke was a bit pissed and turned to his left, continuing his sleep. Wiz blinked twice on Himeno's side bed and started rubbing her eyes, "Kyu… Kyu…" She put her head aside and turned to face the window, it was wide open. "Kyu?" Her eyes widen and started making a fuss, "KYU! KYU!" She tried to wake Daisuke up but he refused. "Kyu…" She looked disappointed.

Dark transparent soul was seen near the bed storage, stretching in chibi, "What do you want, Wiz?" He moved left and right. Was that the reason how he is tall and well-build? Wiz had irritated eyes and jumped off the first storage bed. He pointed Himeno's bed, "Kyu! Kyu!"

"Hrm?" Dark understood well what she was saying, he is after all her master, "Himeno left her bed?" Kyuo smiled and nodded, "Kyu! Kyu!" She faced the window and pointed at it, "Kyu! Kyu!" Dark had irritated eyes and don't pay attention to this. Who cares if she left the house and do something out of the ordinary, other than guarding, he has no right, Taiko remind him that. Dark had a disgusted look; the image of Taiko's smile appeared in his mind. He started messing up his hair, "Why the hell did I remind that perverted man anyway!" A sweat drop formed behind Wiz's head.

'Who are you? Where are you taking me?' Himeno was still following where the voice came and she ended up in front of the temple. Her eyes grew wide, "This temple?" A strong wind passed by and she immediately shut her eyes. What was that feeling? Where was Dark? Why was she alone? Just as she opened her eyes, Rika she called in her dream appeared just in front of her eyes, "Rika?"

She smiled and nodded. She opened her arms wide, "Yes Himeno! I am Rika…" She smiled wider and titled her head aside, "I have been waiting for you, Himeno!" She headed towards her slowly.

"Don't come close to me!" Himeno refused feeling scared similar what she felt when she was still with her pervious family those treated her like shit. Her mind seemed to be screwed up. She couldn't recall anything and for some reason something inside her was against it. Her body was shivering, no one can help her, comfort her like she constantly longed because it was impossible that someone would ever love and dear an extraordinary girl like her.

"Himeno…" Rika looked disappointed, "I am your best friend! We used to be together ever since we were young…" She stood there alone but still Himeno didn't stop hugging herself on the ground. Rika smiled, "I see… so you've forgotten everything have you, Himeno…" Himeno's eyes opened wide, forgotten? She looked up at Rika still with paled face. Rika's eyes were blocked by her fridge, "About you, me… and Dark…" Another strong wind passed by.

"Himeno haven't returned yet?" Dark opened his eyes and he stood beside the dining table. Everyone started to be worried about Himeno. She went out early in morning or to Wiz middle of the night without telling anyone, especially Daisuke. Emiko was mostly concerned because Himeno doesn't think at times, she almost assumed Himeno as her daughter instead of an outsider.

Dark rose up an arm, "She might be playing around in the park…" He stepped back with sweat drops when all scary eyes were on him, "Wha?" Dark wasn't worried about Himeno and to think it was worth guarding a man like Dark. He smiled and the end of his lips was moving pissed, "Okay fine… I'll look for her…" He headed towards the door, "Daisuke, you come too."

"What's it with Hime-chan's anyway?" Emiko's eyes trembled and her right arm on her chest, "If something happens to her…" She fisted up tight, "If she's back, she's going to feel the wrath of a true mother!" There were flames behind her as Koosuke and Daiki shared the same sweat drop.

Daisuke looked around neighbor and asked some people but it was useless. Daisuke sighed, "Where could she be?" 'Can't she think that someone will be worried about her?' Dark consulted wisely. Daisuke shook his head, "Himeno is not a type that would think that she is worried about. You know her too, right? She thinks that she's the only one without anyone who can comfort her." Was that really her? Himeno needs someone to comfort her? But she has herself, wasn't that enough? Besides she smiles and laugh all the time that indicates that she was fine with everything except he felt weird about the aura coming from her huge exclusively bag. He never had the chance to know what was actually inside it.

"Harada-san," Daisuke called as he saw Riku from behind. He stopped in front of her puffing. Riku had a question look. Before she could ask, Daisuke immediately asked, "Have you seen Himeno-san?" His cheeks were red, he had been running all morning, however he considered it as his morning exercise, like Himeno would do in random morning, that is if she could wake up early at 6.

"Himeno-san?" Riku repeated and thought a second, "I saw her early this morning outside our residence. She was maybe taking a morning stroll." She had sweat drops later on, "What's a bit weird was she was in her nightgown…" Daisuke could imagine, he shared the same sweat drop.

"Nee! Nee! Riku, Niwa-kun," Risa appeared behind them and they turned, "I heard a girl was standing in front of the scary old Kikyo temple!" She held herself, "I thought that place was haunted… she has guts to go there, doesn't she?" "Ah… I am sorry for her…" She added and the two looked lost.

'Kikyo?' Dark thought alone and recalled a sweet memory with Rika on that temple, 'Daisuke, do you know where the Kikyo temple?' Daisuke nodded and his legs started to move without his permission, "What the-?"

"Niwa-kun?" The twins wondered why he acted strange and he ran off leaving he twins. A question mark dragged out from their heads. "He might be worried about Himeno-san," Riku said out loud, "She is after all, considered as one of the Niwas already." Risa had lip alert, "Lucky of her…" She started sparkling, "It's not that she stay under the same roof as Dark-san…" Riku had sweat drops all over.

Daisuke was dashing as fast as he could and about a minute later, he altered to worried Dark. 'Kikyo Temple… I know that place clearly… abandoned but how?' He stopped in front of the entrance and turned right. To his surprise, the place was weren't as it was supposed to be. He couldn't believe his eyes. The famous protected Kikyo temple has changed in that 50 years, for that was the place where him and her lover; Rika share love at. He was walking slowly looking around.

'Dark do you know this place?' Daisuke asked but he didn't reply. He was too surprised. He stopped as they heard someone muttering. He looked front and saw Himeno's back still with her nightgown, "Himeno? What are you doing here?" Himeno didn't reply, her eyes were blocked by her fridge, even her face was pale. Dark was bit enraged for being ignored and headed towards her, "Are you listening to me?" He stopped with his eyes widened as soon as Himeno turned to him quietly and silently. It looked peaceful and palm, it was still pale too. His heart started beating after he got a clearer look, "Rika?"

She smiled, "I think we shouldn't see each other again, Dark…" She closed her eyes and faced the temple, "We don't deserve each other…" She looked up and there were tears streaming down her cheek, "The most important is Daiki's heart… not us… so let's separate from now on…"

"What are you talking about?" Dark immediately retorted with his legs opened wide, "its love what's important! I am me! Daiki is Daiki! I really love you Rika, don't you ever forget that!" His voice was a bit louder now and Himeno blinked. Her eyes trembled for some reason. "Rika!" Dark called and saw her falling down to the ground, "RIKKAA!" He caught her in slow motion. He gasped a bit, "Himeno?" Even though she was unconscious, she looked troubled because of something and her body was cold.

It was quiet in the Niwa residence. Dark was leaning on the wall, a bit pissed what happened. Not just about what happened to the Kikyo temple, but also she saw Rika's appearance in Himeno. He harrumphed, it doesn't make sense. Rika must not know Himeno!

"Rika's soul…" Daiki thought and Dark's eyes immediately glared at him with a 'Rika's dead' face. A grin slashed across Daiki's face, "But you know she's still around you." The surrounded felt fire and grudge. Koosuke and Daisuke shared the same sweat drop since they were in the middle of them. A thunder strike occurred between the two eyes.

"Shut up you old man!" He crossed his arms across his chest and muttered alone, "To begin with, it was your fault that I can't be with Rika…" It was silent a moment later and they heard footsteps from the stairs and turned to face the awaken 'princess'. She looked a bit troubled and scared.

She looked down and bit her lips, "Uh… morning." She smiled innocently and there was sweat drops all over her head. No one seemed to dare scold her because of what just happened. They are humans! Dark's stomp was heard and Himeno looked at him. She actually was scared of him the most, especially when she is wrong. She looked down and bowed respectfully, "I apologize for what I did, Dark."

"Apologize?" He smirked, "Apologize of going out without telling anyone? Or apologizing that you didn't tell me you actually know Rika?" Every eye glared directly at him, he was a straight forward. Yes he has the right to scold Himeno but at the time when Himeno was already hurt and wounded both heart and mind?

"Rika…" Himeno's eyes were wide and it was trembling. It was frightening when Dark was staring her with hatred, similar to those cruel eyes a year ago where everyone hate her appearance and existence. Her lips started shaking, recalling the words Rika told her.

"What are you to 'my' Rika?" Dark said out loud and punched the wall with anger. The word 'my' was said deeply and seriously. This does show that he loves Rika more than anything. His breath was deep and he demand answer. He might lose his anger and his trust towards his only guardian, "Shouldn't you spill it out?" A comfortable wind passed by and Dark clenched his teeth. Himeno was still looked surprised. He immediately slammed the dining table and Himeno gasped deep, astonished, back to the reality world. "I want you to say it all now!" He demanded seriously. It wasn't a joke, it wasn't a game either. His eyes were demandable and Himeno have to say it out loud.

"I…" She raised up her voice now, "I… can only see red colors…" Her fridge was blocking her troubled eyes and everyone wondered why. Red? What red? "Blood…" She added and the voice sounded creepy, "I saw blood everywhere!" She shook her head left and right. Obviously Dark wasn't curious what she see. Before he could correct, his eyes opened wide surprised just after Himeno answered. "Rika is my best friend…"

"Don't fool on me, you Guardian!" Dark's teeth were clenching together, assuming that she was lying. If she was a man, he would have slapped her and beat the hell out of him but he just pulled back his anger. "Rika's best friend should be dead by now! You're just admiting it because you want me to accept you fully am I right? That won't fool me!"

"I am not lying!" She said out loud and for the first time, there were tears on her cheeks and her teeth were shaking, "I am not lying! I do feel that I was her bestfriend! She even told me that today! She's the only friend I have! Why don't you believe me?" She fisted, "I know she is your lover but that doesn't mean you have to think I am lying that I am her bestfriend… she told me so… and she promised she'll tell me more…" He started puffing.

'Told her today?' Dark's mind repeated, was Rika still alive? Why could Himeno see her instead of him? Doesn't she love him anymore? Wait! Dark stopped and started thinking. Rika has only one best friend since she was a girl and loved her like forever. Could Himeno be her? No! It can't be: what was the proof?

"Himeno-chan, do you remember anything other than Rika?" Daiki asked and Himeno looked at him. She shook her head left and right. "My mind is still blurred; I can only see blood all over…" Daiki started staring her. Name was familiar, looks was a bit well-known in his memory; does he know her 50 years ago? If she was Rika's bestfriend, Daiki would have known her too.

The wind was strong in the basement and a book fell down. A face of Rika was smiling, 'Dark… Daiki… and Himeno…' She smiled wider, 'Please remember…' She vanished with the wind.
