Riku slung her backpack over her shoulder and waited by the front door for Dark to show. It was 4:00 in the morning and sleep still rested in her eyes. She shook her head and waited for Dark to appear. She jumped back in surprise when she looked up to find him standing right beside her. A smirk was placed on his face as she did this. "Hey you're the one who decided we need to be up this early to leave.' He said with amused eyes. She glared at him before answering. "I know. You just surprised me is all." She said. His smirk stayed in place once she said this. "Well, shall we go?" he asked her with his hands in his pockets. She only glared before she began to walk down the driveway. "I just have one question. Why are we walking to the train station instead of driving? It would save us time." He told her. Her gaze snapped onto him. "I didn't want to bother anyone this early in the morning. Besides, I like to walk." She said before allowing her gaze to turn back to the path ahead of her. He shrugged before watching the path ahead of them.
Riku sighed as the train began to move. Dark and Riku sat beside each other to give other people room even though she had wanted to stay as far away from him as possible. She sighed for a second time before looking over to him. "If I fall asleep, wake me up when we get there, got it? And don't fall asleep." She told him before leaning her head back and closing her eyes. He didn't say anything in reply as he listened to her breathing slowly fall into a rhythm. He let his gaze fall to what was outside the window beside them. He jumped slightly when something landed on his shoulder. He looked down to see Riku's head had fallen onto his shoulder as she slept. He did nothing but watch her as she slept. Later on that day, Riku slowly opened her eyes to find her head on his shoulder. She quickly jerked her head up and looked at him with glaring eyes. "Why didn't you wake me?" she asked him, anger apparent in her voice. He looked over at her to find an embarrassed Riku glaring at him. "I thought you would get mad at me for waking you up so soon. Then I thought about it and you would be mad at me either way so I decided that it would be better if you were mad at me later. I didn't feel like getting hit so early in the trip." He said carelessly. She only glared at him even more before looking out the window.
Finally, the two stepped off the train in a very crowded town. Riku looked around and saw many irregular things but nothing that would get them any closer to find Risa, but then again, she had yet to try. "Well, where do you want to start?" she asked Dark. "Hey don't ask me. You're the one who wanted to do this whole journey thing to find Risa." He said with a shrug. "You know, you're no help at all. You're also the one who insisted on coming along. If you're not going to help me at all then go back." She said with a snarl in her voice. Dark didn't hear those last words. All he heard was rambling by a girl who hated him. He suddenly felt dizzy and began to sway. "Uh, Dark? Are you okay? Don't you dare faint here!" Riku said as she looked at him. "S-Sorry Riku. Something just doesn't feel right here." He said before collapsing. Riku sighed in irritation before leaning down to pick him up. He was heavy but she thought she could manage. "Need any help?" asked a voice from her side. She looked over at him before hesitantly nodding. The boy threw Dark's other arm around his neck and helped her carry him to a free bench (which, by the way, was hard to find) and place him there. Once he was settled, Riku turned to the boy with a thankful smile on her face. "Thank you." She said simply. "No problem. It's just, you kind of reminded me of someone." He said with a smile on his face. Riku snapped her gaze onto him when she heard this. "Do you remember their name?" she asked hurriedly. "Yeah. I could never forget. Her name was Risa and she was also traveling with a guy." He said. Riku grabbed his shoulders. "Did she say where she was heading?" she asked desperately. He looked at her before setting his face in determination. "Why should I tell you? I mean I don't even know who you are or what you want with her." He said. Riku only groaned in annoyance before beginning to think about what to do. She wanted any information she could get but it wasn't supposed to be this easy. Who exactly was this guy?
