Chapter 7

Riku's POV

I opened my eyes to bright sunshine and rolled over in irritation. I hated waking up with the sun. After about 5 more minutes of hopelessly trying to avoid those demon rays, I sighed and rolled out of bed.

I absentmindedly wandered into the bathroom, and gazed in the mirror at my reflection. Silver hair, green eyes, still had the slight six pack, and muscular, lean arms. I brushed my teeth.

About ten minutes later I stumbled down the stairs into the dining room/kitchen to see Namine sitting alone at the table, chewing on a piece of toast, in deep thought. She snapped out of her trance and looked at me with sad eyes, but a warm smile and quietly said, "Good morning." I grunted in response and pulled a granola bar out of the fridge and sat down across from her.

"So, what are you going to do today," She asked quietly. I glared at her in response, she always wanted to tag along it seemed like. "Nothing that concerns you," I said gruffly. She looked extremely hurt, and I instantly regretted saying it. I didn't know why I was being so mean, I mean she hadn't done anything to me had she?

Namine stood up from the table quickly, and walked quickly out of the dining room. Tyson walked in, glancing at her as she pushed past him. "What did you do?" He asked, sounding slightly annoyed. I looked at him in matched annoyance, and said simply, "I'm in a bad mood okay! Why doesn't everybody just leave me alone." Tyson looked even more irritated, and then his irritation turned into anger. You don't even have a reason for being in a bad mood, its not like your family died on your special day or anything." With that he strode out quickly. I looked at him confused. What had he meant by that?

A few hours later I stood on top of the clock tower, looking out over the city. The wind blew my silver locks out of my face, and rustled innocent leaves near me. I was finally away from all of the people, all day people had been pestering me to talk to Namine, or to take her out somewhere, or at least be nice to her. It didn't make any sense though, why was Namine such a big deal all of a sudden?

With a sigh, I turned to go back to the house.

When I reached the house I went straight p into my room, to find Namine there, looking around furiously for something.

"What are you doing in my room? Get out of here!" I said angrily. She looked up quickly, clutching a jacket in her hands. "I left my jacket in here, I was coming back to get it," she shot back irritated. I could see her eyes were red and puffy, as if she had been crying or had not gotten a lot of sleep. My anger pushed that thought aside though as I shot daggers into her eyes.

"You should take better care of your stuff then. Its so irritating to have to put up with you losing things all the time. You drive me nuts!" Namine looked genuinely hurt by the outburst. "Well I'm sorry I'm in your way, but you know, I must have forgotten it was all about you for one minute there."

She had tears in her eyes now. Did that stop me? Of course not. "Yeah sometimes it is about me, not you. Ever since you got here, all you've been is an annoyance."

"YOU were the one that FOUND ME!" she cried out, her eyes blazing with anger.

"Well, I WISH I NEVER DID! All I hear is Namine this, and Namine that! Its like you NEED to be taken care of. Didn't your parents teach you how to take care of YOUR OWN PROBLEMS?" Namine looked shocked, and said quietly and with much shame, "All of my life, all I wanted was somebody who cared about me. My parents are the REASON I had to learn to take care of myself. They degraded me so much by beating me and insulting me, I felt worthless. And now, when I finally feel like I've met people who care, YOU HAVE TO GO AND RUIN IT! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH! I'VE BEEN TO HELL AND BACK AND ALL I ASKED FOR WAS FOR YOU TO GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ME AND YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!"

Namine turned on her heels and ran out of the room, tears flooding down her cheeks. I heard the front door slam, signaling Namine had left.

Tyson came running in my room, his face looked angrier than I had ever seen it.

"WHAT DID YOU DO! HOW COULD YOU JUST DO THAT TO HER! AFTER ALL SHE'S HAD TO GO THROUGH THESE PAST TWO DAYS, AND YOU DON'T EVEN CARE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Tyson yelled angrily, as he stormed over to me.

"What do you mean all she's been through! All she's been through is CHORES!" I shot back. Tyson looked even madder if that was possible.

"You IDIOT! Her whole family just died! Yesterday, the world where her family was staying was taken over by heartless. There's nothing left! And you just stand here and ask what she's been through? ITS HER FRIKIN BIRTHDAY TODAY FOR CRIPES SAKE! Did you even think about that? All day, all you've done is give her shit about how annoying she is, how stupid and worthless she is. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES A PERSON FEEL! You are so HORRIBLE sometimes I don't even know what to say!" Tyson panted heavily as he glared at me.

I was shocked. How could I forget her birthday? She had told me numerous times a while ago, and I jest forgot. I didn't know anything about her family either. I felt horrible.

I turned to Tyson. "God, what have I done...I gotta find her! Where did she go?" I asked desperately. "She probably doesn't want to talk to you." "No! I have to find her!" With that I ran off, out into the night.

Namine's POV

I ran to the top of the clock tower, the only place I could think of. I had broken down completely when Riku had yelled at me, I couldn't take hearing another person say that I was worthless.

I sat on the balcony of the clock tower, looking out over the now dark Twilight Town. I felt jealous as I thought of all those naive people in their home, having a peaceful life, while I sat alone in misery, not sure of where I was going to go, or what I was going to do. I put my head in my hands, and sobbed.

I was so upset I didn't hear a person approaching me. I gasped slightly as I felt a hand tentivly touch my shoulder. I turned around quickly, to find myself face to face with Riku. He looked horrible, his hair was a mess, and his eyes looked guilty and full of grief.

I glared angrily at him, and pushed his hand away. I turned around, and out my head in my hands again, and desperately tried to control my crying. I had stopped completely when I heard him speak.

"I'm sorry. It was so uncalled for. I had no idea what had happened, and I forgot it was your birthday. You have no idea how sorry I am. I didn't mean anything I said, I guess I was just mad at the world, and I shouldn't have taken it out on you and--" "Stop. I get it. Please, just shut up." Riku sat there in silence, unsure of what to do. I stared back out over the balcony, and tried desperately to keep my tears at bay.

"I found out yesterday. I didn't know what to do, and I guess I just freaked out. I felt like I had nothing, all of the people I had loved were gone except you and Tyson. And then, when you were so harsh to me on my birthday, I figured you hated me to. So, I just broke down. I don't know where to turn anymore, I'm so lost." I said, my voice shaking.

Riku sat still for a second behind me, before I felt his strong arms wrap around my waist, and turn me around. He pulled me close to his chest, and whispered into my hair, "I'm sorry." I broke down then. I just cried into his chest, not caring anymore. I was partly happy to have Riku back, but I was still heartbroken. I sobbed into the comfort of a good friend, realizing that no matter what, he would always be there for me.

Riku held me close as I cried, not saying anything, simply stroking my hair and griping me tightly. For the first time in a while, I felt like someone cared.
