Yay! Second chapter, go me! Haha. I hope you people like this story! R&R please!
SATURDAY-
I was oh-so-rudely awakened by a loud crash and a loud curse.
"Aw shit! Where the hell did that come from!" The somehow familiar voice shouted. I jolted up, which was my first big mistake because I felt as though I had been whacked across the head with a metal pole.
"Unngh." I groaned, struggling to open my eyes.
"Oh good you're awake."
The voice was so familiar, it sounded so confident, so sure, so arrogant…
Wait arrogant? Riku! I snapped my eyes open and looked over in the direction of where I had heard the voice. And sure enough Mr. Jerk-off himself was standing right next to my bed.
"What are you doing here? Where am I? What happened?" I asked quickly.
"This is my house, you're in my room, and I have no clue what happened." He replied, answering all my questions.
I looked around, the room was very exotic and very dark, rock posters hung the walls, black bed sheets, even my clothes were black…oh shoot, my CLOTHES!
"What did you do to me!" I screeched. "Did you-?"
"Whoa, wait a second," He exclaimed, holding his hands in front of him as if warding off an attack, "I didn't do anything. I'm wondering what happened to you."
"What do you mean?" I inquired.
"You look like hell." He sniggered, sitting down next to me.
"Thanks for the compliment." I growled, as he took a warm cloth out from behind him and started to clean, what I guess were cuts. I would've said it felt good, even though it did sting, but it was Riku, and knowing what I did about him, he'd probably make a joke about it.
After awhile of silence, and wrapping bandages, which might I add, Riku very much sucks at, he finally said something. "What happened?"
I thought back to last night, truth is I couldn't remember what happened exactly, it was sort of hazy, "I remember getting a ride from Selphie and Tidus, to go back to their house to get ready for the party, then they took me here for some reason." I replied.
"Yeah, but as much as I hate to make you think, that doesn't explain to me why you have a dozen cuts and bruises." He snapped.
"Oh, thanks for comforting me." He didn't answer, but instead stood up and walked out of the room. Leaving me. So I got up to do the only thing I could do, go to kick his ass. But as soon as I stood, I felt as though I could've died. I stumbled down the hallway, and into what I guessed was the living room, where Riku was already watching TV. Damn him.
"I feel like I was hit by a truck." I stated.
"Probably were." Riku replied sourly. 'Why is he so mad about this?' I thought back to what happened and touched a bruise on my lip. Then I remembered Tidus punching me in mouth. I remembered that they beat me up.
"Okay, gawd. They drove me here to steal something from you, but I refused, so they beat me up." I informed him, "Happy?"
He didn't answer; he just sat there staring at me blankly.
"Hello?" I said, waving a hand in front of his face.
"You refused to steal from me?" He questioned, almost as if it was unbelievable.
"Duh, that's what I just said wasn't it?"
"Yeah, but I was such a jerk to you."
"Well that may be true, but I wasn't about to steal and get my ass thrown in jail." I said. He chuckled a bit and mentioned for me to sit next to him, I did, cautiously.
"What did she want you to steal?" He inquired, staring at me intently through his choppy silver bangs.
"Um, an absolutely gorgeous necklace that would go perfectly with her dress." I replied, imitating Riona's sweet, silky voice as best I could, I must've done a good job because Riku started laughing, causing me to laugh to. Of course it hurt my ribs, but did I care? No, I was actually beginning to feel comfortable around him. But then, being the jerk that he is just HAD to ruin it.
"Ya know, you might want to get cleaned up, I'm having company soon." He said.
"What's wrong with me now?" I asked, glaring at him with me indigo eyes.
He snickered, "Like I said, 'you LOOK like hell."
I huffed and stood up, but realizing I didn't know where to go I paused, and not wanting to look like I needed help, I went down the hall. I glanced at some of the pictures hanging on the wall, they were all of him and the two other guys I saw hanging with him before. The blonde and the brunette, with the blue eyes. As much as I hated to admit it, the one with the blonde hair was pretty sexy. Dark features and incredible cold eerie green/blue eyes. And as much as blonde hair usually made guys unattractive to me, it looked really good on him. I continued walking until I came to Riku's room again. I took a better look around this time, as I said before, it was exotic, but I started noticing little things. Like that there was this beautiful, but dark painting hanging on the wall. There was a girl with long, wavy pale blonde hair with one pure white angel wing on one side of her back and a dark black demon wing on the other. She had dark eyes and a golden halo floating above her head, and on her head she had pointy black horns. She had deathly pale skin, and a pure white dress that was torn and tattered and splattered in blood. She was kneeling in a pool of blood and she had old willow trees behind her and there was a glowing white/blue moon above her. It was amazing; everything was done perfectly, from the brush strokes to the wonderfully blended colors.
"Wow." I breathed. It was such a mesmerizing painting. 'I wonder who did this.' I thought before moving over toward the bureau. And laying a top the dresser was a beautiful sapphire blue necklace. I picked it up and held it up to my neck, I'm not one on fashion, but I think it brought my eyes out really well.
"It was my mother's." Riku's voice came from behind me. I hastily put the necklace down and spun around.
"I-I'm sorry. I wasn't meaning to intrude." I replied quickly.
He smirked and walked over to me, "It's fine." He said softly.
"What happened to your mom?" I questioned cautiously.
"She died in a car accident a few years ago." He replied sadly. I paused for a moment.
"So…who made that painting?" I asked, not liking the direction this conversation was turning to.
"I did." He stated simply, turning to leave.
"You're serious?" I exclaimed.
"Yeah." He sneered arrogantly. 'Ooh, I am going to murder him.' I thought, as I stomped past him and into the hallway.
"Bathrooms on your left!" He called.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I stepped out of the steaming shower, as much as I hated to say, Riku was right, I did look and feel much better after I got cleaned up. I wrapped a towel around me and ran a brush through my short black hair, occasionally getting the brush caught in knots. I picked up my clothes and was about to open the door, but instead it opened before I touched the handle, and there stood Mr. Tall, Blonde, and Handsome himself. And I just stood there…stupidly. Not moving, not making any attempt to shut the door, hell I don't think I was even breathing.
His eyes widened slightly, "S-sorry," He muttered, "Riku didn't tell me anyone was in here."
"Um…" But before I could reply he slammed the door in my face. I was about to walk out the door again, but something he said made me pause, "Riku didn't tell me anyone was in here." Oh my gawd! He…oh-ho-ho that boy is so going to get it. I threw open the door and headed to the room Riku said would be mine, until he felt it was okay for me to go home. I slowly got dressed in the black t-shirt and black sweat pants he gave me, careful not to hurt myself, and 'rushed' out the door. I ran out into the living room as best I could, which wasn't very good because I was sort of limping and I think it made me look rather…goofy.
"RIKU!" I yelled.
"Yes?" He asked innocently.
"Don't you dare pull that 'I-didn't-do-anything-' crap on me! How could you not tell your friend that I was in the bathroom?" I screamed.
He looked at me calmly then a huge smirk played itself across his lips, "Oh, it must've…slipped?...my mind." He said thoughtfully, "I truly am sorry, how rude was that?" He stood up and sleekly made his way over to me. "Besides," He whispered, lips close to my ear, "I saw you staring at his picture I have hanging on the wall, and you were practically drooling."
I could feel my face heat up and I'm sure everyone could see it, I couldn't help myself I reached my hand up and slapped him, for no reason what-so-ever. He brought his hand to his cheek and smirked again, gawd was that smirk annoying the hell out of me.
"Ouch, that hurt," He said in a mock hurt voice, "But it wouldn't be the first time I was slapped by a girl." I narrowed my eyes and heard his brown haired friend snicker.
"Who are your friends?" I asked none too politely.
"Oh, the stupid looking one is Sora," I saw his friend's warm expression turn into a glare.
"Hey!" He exclaimed.
But Riku ignored him, "And the cold, blonde one is Cloud."
I smiled and nodded at Sora and Cloud. "Hi, I'm-."
"Yuffie." Sora implied, "We know."
"Oh?" He made a slight gesture toward Riku, I nodded but glared daggers at Riku.
"Hey, we're going to see a movie, wanna come?" Sora asked me. I nodded and smiled gratefully, I saw Riku's eyes widen.
"What? She can't come!" He protested.
"Why not?" Sora inquired.
"Because…" He started, but seemed to not be able to come up with a good excuse, sighed defeated. I smirked and limped over to the door.
"Shall we?" I inquired. Sora and Cloud nodded while Riku grunted. Cloud helped me get my coat on because it hurt to bend my arms like that and then we were out the door.
We came up to a black Ford, and climbed in. It was a very nice car, leather interior and all that good stuff. Cloud was in the driver's seat, while Riku sat up front with him, leaving Sora and I to sit in the back. I really didn't mind though, Sora seemed cool. We drove for awhile, and I wasn't really surprised when Riona and all them brought me here, it seemed further from the school.
Cloud parked the Ford in a parking space in front of a big movie theater; we got out and walked to the theater. Riku mockingly held the door open for me, and I rolled my eyes.
"Riku, quit being a jerk." Sora ordered, Riku smirked and let the door close behind him.
"So…what shall we see?" He questioned. I looked at the movies that caught my attention, 'The Ring 2' was basically the only one.
"The Ring 2" I stated, they all glanced at me and I shrugged, "What?"
Riku shook his head, "Whatever." We went and paid for our tickets, Sora and Riku left to go get popcorn and sodas, only because I forced them to, which means that left me with Mr. Sexy.
"So, um, do you like scary movies?" I asked nervously.
He looked at me, his cold blue eyes staring into mine, seeming to analyze everything about me, I shifted uncomfortably under his intense gaze, "Yes." He said finally.
I grinned and decided to make me next step in my plan to snag myself a hottie, "Oh, uh so do you have a girlfriend?" I asked, trying to sound casual. By the expression he gave me I almost thought he caught on to my plan, but then when the expression faded, I debated on doing a victory dance.
"No." He replied, I inwardly congratulated myself, he doesn't know my secret. I glanced around the lobby, searching for Riku and Sora. They had been gone a long time; I spotted them walking towards us, Sora holding 4 sodas, one extra-large popcorn and a bunch of candy. While Riku held nothing, but a slip of paper.
When they both got close enough, I ran forward and took some things from Sora, "Riku! Why didn't you help him?" I exclaimed.
He shrugged, "I dunno."
Sora glared, "He was too busy flirting with other girls." He snapped my eyes widened.
"Riku!"
He smirked, and interrupted me before I could get another word in, "C'mon let's go." I gave a frustrated sigh, and stamped my foot.
"Fine." I grumbled. We walked down the carpeted floor to the theater we were in and Cloud held the door for Sora and I since we were carrying the snacks. Sora and I raced as best we could up to the very top of the theater without falling. It was a tie.
"You cheat!" I said, he looked at me innocently.
"No I don't." He replied while climbing into the seats. I waited while Cloud went in after him and was about to sit next to him, but Riku shoved me aside and sat down. I clenched my fists and narrowed my eyes.
"Excuse me." He said. I bit back a growl. I stiffly sat down next to him and resisted the urge to bite him. I relaxed a little while the movie started and was completely relaxed when we were 30 minutes into the movie.
In front of Riku and I there was a couple making out, I scrunched my nose up in disgust and I heard Riku snort beside me. I looked over and him and he smirked and put his finger down his throat and acted like he was going to throw-up. I stifled a laugh.
"Somebody gag me with a straw." He whispered, I giggled.
"With pleasure." I said, jokingly.
He rolled his aquamarine eyes, "Watch this." He said while picking up a handful of popcorn. Realizing what he was going to do, I gasped, but started coughing because I was going to laugh also. I watched in amusement as he chucked a piece of popcorn at the couple. It hit the girls head.
"Hey!" She exclaimed quietly. I recognized the voice immediately, it was Selphie.
"Oh crap." I said. Riku's eyebrows shot up and he chuckled.
"Oops." He said.
I grinned widely, "Do you think she'll tell Riona?"
Riku shook his head, "No, she's too scared to tell Riona."
I laughed and leaned back to watch the rest of the movie.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"You wanted to see me?" I asked sweetly.
"Yes."
"Oh what about?" I questioned; tugging on a strand my short black hair. It was dark out; the man of my dreams was standing in front of me and I couldn't be happier.
"I wanted to tell you something."
"Really?" I questioned flirtatiously.
"Uh-huh."
"What did you want to tell me?"
"That I loved you." He replied smoothly. I smiled widely and leaned toward him.
"I love you too." He leaned forward as well; and out of the darkness came my beloved's face. He placed his lips over mine, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. For a moment he deepened the kiss and then we both pulled away and I came face to face with the oh-so-sexy…Riku?
I screamed.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Yuffie!" A male voice yelled; my eyes snapped open and I was looking up into Riku's beautiful aquamarine eyes.
"What?"
"Movies over." He said; I glanced around, people were standing up and leaving and the lights had been turned on.
Oh…" I said, standing up and stretching, "Well that movie sucked ass."
Riku snorted, "Sucked ass? You fell asleep for most of it."
I grinned, "That's exactly why it sucked ass." Riku rolled his eyes but couldn't stop the smirk that was gracing his lips.
When we were FINALLY driving from the theaters, Sora's great suggestion was: "Let's go get lunch!"
Curse his stupidity.
Why am I so angry about this? First off: I just had a dream that I kissed Riku. Second: Cloud is becoming more irresistible. Third: Cloud's irresistible.
So here I am driving along the highway with a singing Sora, an arrogant bastard, and an increasingly hot Cloud. Oh gawd help me. I continued to sit there silently; my eyes drifting to the passenger side…
Now answer me ONE question; why the hell am I staring at Riku?
But I didn't get to think much because we pulled into the parking lot of the diner and got out just moments after. We walked into the restaurant and I was amused to see that the diner was very old fashioned; considering the mega-goths we got here. A waitress led us to our seats and I was planning on sitting next to Cloud; without Riku getting in the way.
As soon as Cloud sat down I shoved Riku, just as he had done to me, and sat down in the booth with Cloud. I batted my eyelashes at Riku in a teasing manner and he flipped me off. I was shocked; guys around here are sure different than the guys at my old hometown. My mouth dropped open and my eyes were wide, but apparently I wasn't the only one who saw it.
"Riku…" Cloud said dangerously, and I have to say, if looks could kill Riku would've been shot twelve time, stabbed fourteen, had his head chopped off by a guillotine, cut up into tiny pieces, put in a blender, and then fed to rabid cannibals. I felt so loved.
I snickered, and Riku opened his mouth to say something smart but Cloud's growl stopped him. It was quiet for a moment but then Sora spoke, "So anyone know what they're getting?" My eyes lit up in excitement when I remembered food. I snatched the menu from Riku and scanned it. His aqua eyes glared at me in irritation, as he reached for another menu. That was the moment I supposed he was actually gonna get another menu, but noooo! He yanked the menu out of my hand. I huffed reaching across the table to get another menu. Food sounded so good right now. I could smell something..something great.. Blue..blueberry? Strawberry..? I have to say, if you saw me after I realized what I smelt, you would have laughed.
"Pie," the word escaped me curtly. All three of them looked at me from their seats curious, of course. Riku began to sneer at me and my girlish instincts, Cloud just eyed me, and Sora's eyebrows were raised in apprehension. It seemed Sora knew a thing or two about girls. When they spotted something, they wanted it and they would take all their will power to get it.
"It that what you will be having?" A childish voice interrupted us. I, being so surprised, fell back and my chair tipped over, but Riku grabbed my arm, so I would not hit the ground. The chair stopped obliged to stay in the position, and everyone was looking at me. Well, except Riku. His aquarium eyes were stuck on the waitress. My face began to heat up quickly. I growled slightly under my breath as I realized something. One: I was either too embarrassed to say anything. Two: I was mad that Riku couldn't stop looking at the stupid waitress. Or Three: I was both choices one and two. Can you guess which one?
"Riku, pull me back up," I hissed because he obviously didn't hear me. In fact, he let me go and I landed with a thud.
"Rikku!" All three boys hissed. I would have smirked when they said Riku, but what confused me is that Riku said his own name, so it wasn't me they were concerned about. I looked up from my hazy state on the floor. My eyes came in contact with the girl, who stood next to Riku with a small notepad in her hand.
"You!" Riku and the blonde hissed to one another. It was like the long awaited reunion, but these two didn't look so happy to see another. In fact, their eyes were glowing with fiery hatred, and the blonde-haired-girl's notepad was being crushed in her clenching grip. She looked ready to pounce him, while she chewed her gum noisily I might add. Another prissy girl.
"Ah ah," Riku held finger up, a smirk inching it's way onto his lips for the fiftieth time today. "You're working, Rikku." It was then everyone noticed that I was on the floor still. Sora helped me up quickly and pushed my chair in so everyone would stop staring. Indeed, they did stop staring. Stupid people.. Wait? Did he say Rikku? So her name was Rikku too? I burst out laughing unknowing to them. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. Riku and Rikku. Hilarious! By then, I noticed I was the only one laughing. Riku was glaring at me, while Rikku was about to hit me.
"Pie!" I blurted suddenly. "Strawberry...pie?" Rikku paused a moment, then scribbled it down on the notepad causing me to grin with triumph. Oh the sweet triumph I would get tasting that strawberry pie. Riku, on the other hand, was still glaring at me. Cloud quirked an eyebrow along with Sora at me. What? What did I do? I begin to grin more evilly. Rikku sighed looking towards Riku irritably and raised her eyebrow.
"And you?" It was a couple minutes of Riku's annoying orders, and everyone else putting theirs in when we finally were left there alone to talk. Everyone got a simple water except me, of course. Caffeine is a good thing, ya know. Rikku came waltzing back with the water tray and handed everyone their drink. Riku was the last to get his, and that was when my eyes nearly popped out of my head. She poured the water on his lap "accidentally" causing Riku to fly out of his chair angry. I mean angry. Rikku stuck out her lip in a pout. I wanted to rip them off.
"Sorry.." she rolled her eyes. Everyone at the table just sat and watched, while Riku wiped himself off.
"Damn you, Rikku," he cursed furiously. Rikku pranced off to go get someone else to take care of the situation. By the end of that, my eyes were fiercely fired up with hatred Ooohh that girl would get it. When she came back, Rikku had settled with a couple napkins on the table, before turning away. I don't know what possessed me to do it, but I was standing up. My hand grabbed her shoulder and whirled her around. She didn't know what I had in store for her, but the next moment.. I punched her, and she was sent sprawling to the ground. My mind was mentally screaming PAIN! It burns! But a smirk settled on my face as I watched her on the ground. I gasped to myself after that. Everyone else was staring at me, their eyes practically bulging out of their heads. Heh..
"What the hell?" Riku said bluntly.
I blinked a few times, but grinned, "Please, you can not say you aren't the least bit amused."
He smirked, "And I am, but why here?" He asked, lowering his voice so that the onlookers wouldn't hear.
I shrugged, "She was pissing me off."
There was a few moments of silence before Riku snorted and started laughing so hard he almost fell out of his chair. I had never once heard Riku laugh (from the few hours I had known him) and I was almost in a trance. His laugh was so smooth, so deep…
So beautiful…
…Again with the: what the hell thing…
I glanced back, sensing someone's eyes on me, and saw Rikku and a big, greasy man staring at me. I swallowed and looked back at my companions. "Let's go. NOW." I urged, standing up and looking at their bewildered faces.
"Uh…why?" Sora inquired. I shook my head and looked back over my shoulder again.
"NOW." I repeated frantically. They kept looking and me strangely but I ignored it and hurried out the door to the car. Sora, Riku (still chuckling) and Cloud behind me.
Once we were safely in the car, I leaned my head against the cool glass window and cast one last glance at Riku before looking back at the window and watching the scenery fly by.
