Chapter Seventeen: Riku's Place

((.:Kairi's POV:.))
Well it had been three days since the auditions making it, Friday, it was announced yesterday that I was to be singing at the dance, everyone was happy for me. To me it really didn't matter much. I was fixing my hair, right now; it was always so fickle in the morning. "URG!" I cried. I tried to keep my bangs flat but they didn't want to.
"Now, what's wrong?" asked Sora-kun.
"Just my hair." I replied plainly.
"Oh, okay."
I rolled my eyes; he acted like it was nothing new, which it wasn't. I took a blue head band from one of my drawers and slipped it onto my head. "Yay!"
Sora-kun shook his head at me, "You should've thought of that before."
I glared at him, "Shut up," I stuck my tongue out at him.
He laughed. "Don't you have to got to school?"
I gasped as I looked at the clock, "Eek! I need to go, NOW!" I ran out the door without saying goodbye to Sora-kun.
I ran out the door and to the corner where I usually met Sakura-chan and Naminé-chan, I noticed they were already gone. "Oh no," I ran faster. "I cannot break my attendance record."
I got to my school three minutes later. I quickly got my books from my locker and rushed to my first class.

At Lunch
Luckily I had gotten to school on time. Which means I still have a perfect attendance! I was till very so happy about that. I was starting to walk to the lunch area with Riku-kun. Then I had realized something, "Oh no,"
"Nani?" asked Riku-kun looking at me.
I gulped, "I was in such a rush this morning, that I had forgotten about my lunch, and I didn't even eat any breakfast."
Riku-kun handed me a blue little sack. "Here, have mine Kai-chan."
I blushed a tad bit, "But Riku-kun this is yours,"
"It's fine I'm not that hungry anyway, I had a big breakfast," he said smiling at me.
"Are you sure?" I asked uncertain.
"Yea, I'm sure." He said patting my head.
I smiled, I looked at him, he was at least like five inches taller than me, and his platinum hair went a little past his strong shoulders. His aquatic eyes usually showed no emotion, he was just usually cool and collected, that's probably why he was always so cool to be around.
Riku-kun and I sat on the other side of the table of Sakura-chan, Syaoran-kun, and Naminé-chan. (A/N U can prolly guess in which order they are sitting in)
I started to eat the lunch Riku-kun had given me. It was a rice ball with some pocky. I was happy that I got to eat something good! "Riku-kun, arigatou!" I said with some of the rice ball in my mouth.
Riku-kun laughed at me.
I smiled.
"So, why are you eating Riku-kun's lunch?" asked my cousin, her light blue angelic eyes were burning with curiosity.
"Oh," I said putting down my chopsticks. "I had forgotten my lunch since I was in such a rush this morning. And Riku-kun said he had had a big breakfast and gave his lunch to me, that's all." I said.
"Oh," said Naminé-chan looking a little jealous. I felt a pang of guilt. I knew how much she had liked, Riku-kun.
Saku-chan smiled, "Oh, that was nice of you Riku-kun."
"Un," said Syaoran-kun nodding in agreement.
Riku-kun smiled. Then he looked at me, "Kairi-chan,"
"Hmm?" I asked putting some pocky in my mouth.
""You want to come over to my place after school?" he asked me.
I looked at Nam-cha, she looked a little hurt, "Well that would be a good idea, Syaoran-kun, Naminé-chan and I were going to go roller skating." Said Sakura-chan.
"Oh, um, okay." I said feeling like I had no other choice.
"Cool, thanks Kairi-chan."
"Hehe, don't mention it."

After School
Riku-kun had met me at my locker. "Hey," he said casually.
"Hey."
"Finally Friday!" he said smiling.
"Yep." I said agreeing.
We were now walking to his house, in pregnant silence. That was all right with me; I really didn't have much to talk about anyway. I tucked some of my loose crimson hair behind my unpierced ear. I was uberly afraid of needles or anything super pointy. So I decided to not pierce my ears like Sakura-chan, Yuffie-chan and Naminé-chan have had.
"So," started Riku-kun breaking the silence. "Did you hear that Selphie chan has a crush on Yuna-chan's boyfriend?"
"Hai, I think it's kinda kawaii." I said giving a sweet smile.
"Yeah, I guess, I do kind of feel sorry for Tidus-san." Said Riku-kun laughing.
"Un," I giggled, "I guess she glomps him?"
"Oh really?" he laughed even harder.
"Ya, I feel sorry for Yuna-chan. She must not like sharing her boyfriend."
"No, she probably doesn't." said Riku-kun smoothing the back of his hair.
I smiled. It had been awhile since I had actually hung out with Riku-kun. It was kind of nice I guess. I had missed out on a lot of things lately. I sighed as I looked up to the sky; it was such a beautiful warm day. "Suteki," I said to myself.
All of a sudden, I was falling I closed my eyes waiting for the hard impact of the concrete, but instead I felt strong arms. I looked to see Riku-kun caught me before I completely tripped. It reminded me of when I had gotten a little crush on Riku-kun.
.:Flashback:.
It was in December, it was also snowing. I was in the sixth grade, which was cool. The only thing I hated at this point was that Sora-kun was going out with Shigatsu-san. She was so lucky.
I sighed. It was cold. Jealous. Sad. And pretty lonely. I looked up at the sky, it was beautiful. "Suteki," I said to myself. And all of a sudden I was falling. I closed my eyes waiting for the hard impact of the concrete, but instead I felt strong arms. I looked to see Riku-kun caught me before I completely tripped.
I looked at him and blushed. He his eyes shown so much concern. His cheeks were rosy because of how cold it was. "Arigatou." I murmured. He looked so cute.
.:End of Flashback:.
"Arigatou." I said standing back up.
"You okay" he asked me.
"Un," I said nodding my head we walked the rest of the way to his apartment. (A/N yes he live in an apartment, his mom is single…)
-
We walked into his apartment, which he lived in with his mother. All the lights were off. "Hmm." Hummed Riku-kun.
"Nani?" I asked him.
"I wonder where Okaa-san is," said Riku-kun walking to the kitchen area. I followed him. He walked over to his refrigerator And he picked up a note that had been put there.
Riku,
Jii-chan is sick again. So I'm at his place. I'm sorry I'm not there to make you dinner. I hope you can manage.
Love,
Mama
I looked at Riku-kun. "What's wrong?"
Riku-kun shook his head. Jii-chan is sick again, Okaa-san is taking care of him so I'm alone tonight."
Oh, dear." I sighed. "You want me to stay with you for dinner?" I asked.
Riku-kun shook his head, "You don't have to."
"I want to. Plus you're a terrible cook and I don't want you by yourself." I said giving him a sweet smile.
"Hey!" Riku-kun whined.
I giggled, "Just lemme call Okaa-san." I got my cell and called my home.
"Moshi Moshi?" It was my sister, Yuffie-chan.
"Yuf-chan, it's Kairi-chan, I'm going to eat dinner at Riku-kun's. Could you let Okaa-san know?" I asked.
"Shua,"
"Arigatou! But could you do me a favor?" I asked.
"Un,"
"Could you go in my room and say I'm at Riku-kun's, please don't ask." I said.
"Um, okay.,"
"Arigatou! Ja!"
Ja."
I turned off my phone. I looked at Riku-kun. "You got any Italian food?" I asked. Italian food was my specialty you see, my dad had taught me how to make it, and in fact I thought it tasted better than Japanese food.
Riku-kun gave me a blank stare "I think so. But I think we just have pasta and sauce."
I smiled, "That's okay, that'll work."
-
I put two plates onto the table. Riku-kun sat on one side as I sat on the other. "I hope you like it." I said.
"I'm pretty sure I will." Replied Riku-kun.
We took a couple of bites of the food I made. "Mmm," Riku-kun took a few more bites, "This is wonderful, Kairi-chan. I didn't know you could cook so well."
"Arigatou." I smiled.
