Dark looked at the sad eyed Riku who stood beside him. They were on the balcony for the millionth time that week. Riku had taken the news pretty hard and hadn't spoken since that day she fainted. To tell the truth, he was actually starting to worry even though he knew she would snap out of it sometime soon. She sighed beside him and stood up straight and let her gaze fall on him. He noticed this and looked over at her. She turned and started walking back inside when Dark stopped her. "Listen, if you don't stop acting like this I'll have to make you start speaking again." He said with a hand grabbing her arm. She faced him with indifferent eyes and tried to pull away from him. "Don't try to pull away from me. Just start speaking again and I'll let you go." He said with determination in his eyes. She stared at him with cold eyes not even trying to open her mouth to speak. Her look became threatening but he never let go. "Fine! Screw this!" he shouted at her before forcing his lips on hers, hoping it would snap her back to her regular self. That did it. He knew with one slap to his cheek and a familiar voice yelling at him. "Pervert! Why did you do that!" she yelled at him with fierce eyes. A familiar smirk appeared on his face. "I knew that would make you speak." He said as he dropped his hand from her arm.
She looked at him. "Y-You're horrible! Couldn't you just leave me alone!" she said slightly flustered. He shrugged with a smirk still on his face. She turned on her heel and rushed inside, slamming the door shut behind her. "Well, at least she's back to normal." He said as he walked in and passed her without a single glance her way. He felt her eyes on him as he passed her. He smirked again to himself. Later that night Riku sat in the living room across from Dark not saying a word to him. Finally, after a while of listening to silence she spoke. "I want to go and find Risa before anything happens to her." Riku said as she looked at the carpet. Dark turned his gaze towards her. "What?" he asked her. "You heard me. I want to go and find Risa before anything happens to her. I can't just sit here and hope that she's safe. I want to find her myself." Riku said, her gaze still resting on the carpet. "But what if-." He started before he was cut off. "But nothing. I can't stand sitting around like I can't do anything when I know I can. I want to search for her. That's final." She said as she gave him a determined look. He stared at her for a moment before speaking. "Alright. But I'll have to come with you. There's no telling what you'll get yourself into." He replied. "What's that supposed to mean!" she asked leaning forward on her seat on the couch. He laughed softly. "Nothing." He said.
Riku stared at a picture in her hand of Daisuke before placing it in a box and resting it in the back of the closet. The pictures made her hurt inside. She closed the closet doors and stood up. She had to finish packing her backpack for her journey. She shook her head to rid of any tears that may have surfaced as she looked through the photos. Dark stood in the doorway leaning against the doorpost watching her. She noticed this and glared at him. "What is it?" she asked with a snarl. "Hey, hey, don't be so mean. I just came to see if you were done." He said as he uncrossed his arms and walked to her side. "Why? We're not leaving till tomorrow. Besides, I can pack on my own thank you." She said as she snapped the bag up and turned to look at him. "I never said you couldn't." he protested with a look of amusement on his face. "Well, you were implying it." She answered back. "Hey, just because you're moody doesn't mean you can take it out on me." He said holding up his two hands innocently. Whack! He felt something hit him upside the head. "Just because it doesn't mean I can take it out on you doesn't mean I don't want to. What if I just feel like taking it out on you?" she said with a smile on her face that dripped with bitterness. He rubbed his head and made no reply. Traveling with her would be a pain to him, he realized. Well, he might as well get used to it. He would have to put up with her for quite some time. He knew this as a fact. Finding Risa wasn't going to be as easy as she wished it to be.
So...what'cha think? I'm not sure if this one is going to be as good as Filling in the Memories but I can try. (BTW. That was my fist Dark and Riku story)
