A New Home
Examining his surroundings from the bed that he was lying on, his unusual azure blue irises fell upon the female ninja who seemed to pacing around as if she was waiting for him to awaken from his undisturbed sleep. He had no dreams this time, no horrible nightmares about his friends becoming captives but he knew what he had to do. He had to find out where they had taken his friends. They must have all been counting on him but when he moved to sit up, a throbbing pain interrupted his thoughts as if it had the right to stay within his mind. He bit down on his lip to hold the scream in but he knew that it would been no good.
"What…the hell is happening to me?" he spoke to no one in particular, forgetting that the female ninja was in the room. Looking up at the boy in surprise, Yuffie immediately grabbed hold of his arms to try and prevent him from fainting from the pain but it didn't work. After a few more minutes however, he finally snapped out of it. "What…what just happened?"
"You began to scream…say, what's your name anyway?" Her voice worked wonders in helping the grogginess dissipate from his mind once more. Looking back towards the ninja, he couldn't help but notice that there was nothing unusual about her. No tail, no scales and most definitely no wings. She was as perfect a human as they came.
"Riku…" he mumbled darkly as he looked through the window towards the sky. What was that pain that interrupted his graceful flight through the clouds? And how did he survive that fall? After all he was about fifteen thousand feet in the air. Spreading out his wings subconsciously once more, he ignored the gasp that came from the female ninja. I'm part bird, get used to it, he thought bitterly before moving over to the window.
"Hey, where are you going?" She asked as he got prepared to dive out of the window and execute into what he thought would be a perfect flight dive. However, he turned around to face her once more.
"Out…"
he simply said before diving out of the window backwards, using all
the muscles in his back to beat his wings as he flew towards the
second district. The sound of a distant chime reached his ears as he
gazed down at the town. He couldn't handle being stuck in one room
with someone just as annoying as that ninja, but he knew that he was
going to need help trying to make his way around here. Fear of being
different began to slowly build itself inside him but he ignored as
best as he could until he landed on top of what looked like a Gizmo
Shop.
The view itself was breathtakingly beautiful and he began to
realise what he had been missing most of his life when he looked down
at the families below the Gizmo Shop, laughing and cheering as they
went by. He perched himself on the edge of the building itself,
getting ready to fly once more. There were two districts that he was
dying to see and he wasn't going to stop until he saw them with his
own beautiful azure eyes. Diving off of the building, he swung his
body into a perfect arch before beating his wings rapidly. People
gasped and cheered as they saw him fly past, obviously thinking that
this must have been a publicity stunt but he didn't care what they
thought about him. Landing perfectly upon the district doors, his
eyes caught on to the female ninja once more, obviously out looking
for him but this time it was different.
The scene below looked
like one small, pretty female ninja being surrounding by several much
bigger masked figures that he easily recognised. So, decided to
follow me huh? He thought before landing coolly in front of the
district doors, feeling quite cocky as he began to spit his venom at
the captors.
"I don't like being followed!" He spat viciously at the men in masks as they turned around and slowly advanced him, their precious nets in hand. Grabbing hold of the nearest one, he threw him into one of the many brick walls before taking to the air. Diving down out of the reach of his captors, he grabbed hold of the female ninja before taking off towards the third district, the very one he wanted to explore himself.
