-My Girl-
/dedicated to Starling94/
The goodbye celebration had started only and hour ago and she had already left, as much as she hated to admit it she couldn't bare the thought of him leaving. He made her laugh and they were good friends, despite the fact he was extremely perverted.
She glanced over her shoulder at his house and sighed, 'I hate you Riku.' She thought bitterly. He wasn't supposed to leave, he hadn't asked her. He was supposed to stay, at least, until she mustered up the courage to tell him she liked him. 'Why do you have to go? It's not like you'll be missed if you don't.' She continued walking until she reached the river, there she sat on a rock and stared down at her reflection. 'Please don't go Riku…'
Riku laughed as Sora did an imitation of one of the town's meanest elder's, he knew it was disrespectful but it was just his friends and the elder was mean.
"You better be careful Sora." Riku warned.
Sora rolled his blue eyes, "Yeah, whatever." He said, waving his hand as if it were no big deal. Riku chuckled again, but stopped when he noticed someone was missing.
"Hey, where's Olivia?" He asked, his aqua eyes darting around the room. There were quiet murmurs of 'I don't knows' and 'Is she alright' but no one knew.
Sora shrugged, "I don't know."
Riku stood up and his eyes widen, he was in big trouble if he didn't find her. 'Oh no, oh no, oh no. If I don't find her and her mom finds out I lost her…oh man…'
"I have to go find her." He said quickly. Everyone stared at him oddly, most likely wondering why he was so concerned about the Kitty, but he had no time to explain. He just knew he was in trouble if she was lost.
Olivia picked up another rock and threw it angrily into the water, "Stupid Riku. Stupid party. Stupid emotions. Stupid life." She picked up another rock and threw it, only this time it fell short, making the water splash all over her, she cried out in frustration, "Stupid water!" She began cursing randomly, while glaring at the silvery water.
"Yelling at water now, I see." His voice came from behind her, and not sensing he was there caused her to jump. He took this chance and strode towards her, up until he was sitting on the rock as well.
Olivia huffed, "What's it to you?" She snapped.
He smirked and picked up a rock, "Well, it's not considered completely sane when you talk to objects that don't talk back."
She pursed her lips together, "Riku…"
"But the again," He continued.
"Riku…"
"This is you we're talking about."
"Riku…" She repeated, her voice, although very irritated before now had a more dangerous edge to it.
"Which brings me to question; have you ever been sane?" He asked, finding it quite amusing that she had been speaking to the water.
"RIKU!" She nearly shouted, spinning around to face him.
He stopped his inward chuckling and stared at her, "What?"
She closed her blue eyes and took a deep breath, to calm herself down, "Please be quiet." She said, while letting her breath out and slowly reopening her eyes.
Riku raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with you?" He stared into her eyes, "I mean, other than what was before." He added after a moment.
Olivia narrowed her eyes, "Nothing." She hissed.
"Really? Because the party's in there and you're out here." He stated, smirking.
She growled, "I don't get along with Kairi, and she was getting a bit annoying."
Riku rolled his eyes, "She barely said anything, neither did you for that matter…" He paused in thought for a moment, "Okay, what's wrong."
Olivia sighed in frustration, "Nothing, okay? I wanted some air."
Riku's gaze challenged hers and he smirked, "Really?"
Olivia met his gaze, "Really."
He frowned and scratched his head, "Olivia…it's my going away party. I'm going into the army, the least you could do is be there…in case…I…" He didn't finish his sentence though, a loud sob interrupted him, "Olivia?" He inquired, puzzled that she was crying.
"Go away." Olivia said, as she erupted into more sobs. Riku, who was now concerned, scooted closer and put his hand on her thin shoulder, she flinched and pulled away from him.
"Please…don't…" She spoke quietly, obvious hurt was in her voice and it concerned him even more. What had he done now? Surely he hadn't done anything, sure he had joked around with her and all at the party teased her and made suggestive comments but he hadn't done anything really bad.
Wait…did she know about the comment he had said to Sora about her backside? Oh shit…
"Olivia!" He exclaimed quickly, "I'm sorry about what I said! I was really just kidding, it was just you looked so nice and such. I couldn't help it. I'm sorry." He apologized, praying that she wouldn't tell her mother, who already had a little grudge against him, and that she would stop crying.
Olivia looked up sharply, her face, although still streaked with tears, was now suspicious, "What did you say?"
Riku blinked and cocked his head to the side, "Nothing."
She glared coldly at him and sniffed, "Whatever. Just…please leave me alone. I really don't want to talk right now." She told him.
He shook his head, "No Olivia, please tell me." His aqua eyes burned into hers and he swallowed. It wasn't the best of times for his feelings for her to be kicking in at the moment; he didn't want to make things worse.
Olivia drew in a shuddery breath, "Y-you're leaving." She said.
He tilted his head even more, "Leaving? Yes, I know." 'She can't possibly be upset about me leaving can she?'
"That's why."
"That's why what?"
"That's why I'm upset you moron." She spat.
He blinked, once, then twice, then once more, "Are you serious?"
Olivia sniffed and wiped her tears away, "Yes."
Riku's eyes widened, "Olivia…" He trailed, but stopped, he didn't know what to say.
Olivia sniffed again, "Please…leave…"
Riku sat silently, he couldn't leave, he knew that. "Olivia, why are you upset about me leaving?"
Olivia glared icily, "I-I can't Riku please just leave."
He shook his head, "Olivia, you-" He began but she interrupted him. Again.
"LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" She yelled at him, her voice filled with despair and anger, "I don't want to look at you! Can't you see that?" She once again began to sob, her shoulders shaking as she buried her head into her knees.
He jumped back a little, shocked, "Olivia? Please! What is wrong!" He questioned her frantically. He knew it wasn't like him, he wasn't really caring but this was confusing, he hadn't done anything.
She frantically shook her and kept muttering in Japanese, too quick for him to understand, "I can't understand you," He said, his tone softer, "Please speak slower."
She raised her head from her knees, "Ore hitoshii omaesan aikidou!" She shouted.
"You like me?" He asked, his voice coming out high. 'She LIKES me? What the-? Is she joking?'
"Hai." She said quietly.
After those words escaped her lips. Silence fell among them, "That's why you were upset about me leaving?"
She nodded, and avoided his eyes, "Yes."
"But why?"
"Because hakuchi, it's the army. When you go into the army you fight, in battle. You could," She paused, biting her lip as more tears formed, "You could," Her voice broke and she once again erupted into sobs.
"I could?" Riku inquired his tone soft and soothing.
"You could…you could die." She finished.
His eyes grew larger with understanding, why hadn't he thought of it before? "Olivia…" He said, leaning forward and wrapping his arms around her, "Oregozen sumimasen."
She tensed at his touch, "Ikani." She hissed.
He ignored her and pulled her closer, "Olivia, please don't be mad. I didn't know you…liked me. And if it helps any…I like you too." He said.
Her cerulean eyes widened, "Genni!"
He smirked, "Genni."
She swallowed and bit her lip to prevent more tears from falling, but wasn't doing a very good job, "Please don't go." She whimpered.
He sighed, "I have too."
"No you don't." She said frantically, pulling away from him, "You don't! You don't!" She kept repeating the phrase over and over.
Riku grabbed her hands and forced her to look at him, "Olivia shush, I do, you know I do."
She stared at him, her lips trembling and a desperate look in her eyes, "Please…"
"Olivia…"
She closed her mouth and lowered her head, "What if you die?"
He grinned, "I won't. After all, who could defeat me?"
"Riku please, this is serious."
He sighed and smiled, "I won't."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"How can I believe you?"
He smirked, "Olivia, goshujin mai neesan, goshujin mai neesan." He said, stroking her hair, "You're my girl."
A/N: Well, there's the first chapter. Next is Starling's. wh00t. Hers is hilarious. While mine is…not. XD Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed this. I know it's random but this idea came to me after I read Starling's Riva. I thought 'Why not write a one-shot that referred to what happened before Starling's?' So I wrote it and then I thought, 'Whoa, we could make a short chaptered fic of this' So hence, this was born. Please review!
Starling94: Great chapter! Mini series! Those are fun. Hope you like it.
Now, there was a lot of Japanese in this, so here are the translations:
Ore hitoshii omaesan aikidou!- I like you okay!
Hai- Yes
hakuchi- idiot
Oregozen sumimasen- I'm sorry
Ikani- Whatever
Genni- Really
goshujin mai neesan- You're my girl
There ya are. Review please!
