Chp. 5

The Faces No One Should Ever Live to See...

Riku turned to see a male way taller than him.

"Yea, help would be nice right about now." Riku said sweatdropping.

The guy chuckled. He reached for the books, which were hard for Riku to get because his fingers barely scrapped the spine of the book, whereas this guy got them as easily as a cat could get to his food on the top shelf... In fact this guy kind of reminded him of a cat, with the way his eyes were slanted and his dark complexion didn't help his eyes at all.

"So...why are you here?" Riku asked.

"Oh me? I'm skipping class, what are you doing?" the guy asked Riku as he got the books for him. Riku shrugged.

"Getting books for Mr. Kimahri, I'm Riku by the way, you?"

"I'm-..." the guy started but the librarian hushed him. He sneered at her and she went back to looking at something on the desk, might have been papers. But Riku wasn't too concerned with what she was fooling with, he was more concerned with the guy standing beside him, still holding the books that Riku needed so he could leave and hopefully never see this guy again; but he could tell he wasn't gonna get out of there anytime soon, considering the guy was now grinning maliciously at Riku. I bet he thinks I'll be easy prey for whatever he's planning...

Riku, not realizing what he was doing, inched away from the 'threat' that was holding his key to getting back to class, which was also another place he wasn't too keen on going back to right now...he could just picture Kimahri fussing at him.

You were supposed to be getting the books not flirting with another student or disrupting other classes he'd say and then Riku would probably be getting extra homework, like yesterday for speaking out of turn...that was why he had been doing it during homeroom. It was just like Kimahri to make this into something it wasn't...which is probably what he'll do once Riku got back.

Riku motto was: Never assume, it makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me". (A/N: This motto does not belong to me! I read it out of a DN Angel fanfic...as soon as I get the authoress's name I'm giving her full credit, because she deserves it!)

Riku sighed, annoyed beyond complaints. He was so aggravated at Kimahri for sending him on this 'book hunting' job, if he saw him again, he'd straggle him! The keyword, of course, being 'if'. Riku wasn't so sure if this guy was nice or not...but from what Riku read from his facial expression, definitely not.

Then Riku made a move for the books he had set on the table, when the stranger moved as well, blocking him from getting them.

"I'll get them," he said taking all of the books into his arms and walking to the front desk. The lady there instantly started to check them out, she seemed frightened of the boy. Riku shivered.

Great, this guy's probably a fucking serial killer, isn't he? Riku thought sarcastically. The guy smiled cheekily at the girl behind the counter and then he followed Riku out the door. Riku, walking stiffly, was still trying to figure out how to get away from this guy, so he didn't get into trouble with Kimahri.

Class is almost over...maybe he'll go back to his class once we drop the books off... Riku thought doubtfully. Ha! This guy just may be the 'most likely to rape someone' student. Riku cursed his damn luck and finally got back to his class.

"Thanks I can get them from-..." Riku attempted to say, but the guy walked right past him. He grinded his teeth together and growled, even more annoyed at the guy.

He frowned as he also walked in and saw everyone even tenser than he had been the entire trip back.

Why are they scared of him? He asked. Yuna jumped up and looked at him audaciously.

"What are you doing here, Ansem?" Tidus, Selphie, and the rest of class were glaring at him.

Riku's eyes widened. Ansem? Isn't that the one that Leon hates so much? Riku confirmed his question when Ansem looked at them and jumped causing everyone to tense further.

Damn...how tense can you get without exploding? Riku thought as Ansem walked up to him. He leaned down to whisper in Riku's ear while glaring at everyone, just daring them to stop what he was about to do...

No one did.

"Don't trust everyone who is helpful...you might...get hurt." he emphasized this by licking Riku's cheek. After that, Ansem left and no one said anything after that and poor Riku was stuck in a daze until lunch came around.

Riku was gonna scrub his tainted cheek with alcohol until it bled when he got home. Riku was horrified as he got his tray, paid for lunch and headed outside to sit at the picnic tables. Tidus, Lenne, Selphie, Yuna, and Kairi all came over to sit with him. He even saw Baralai and Gippal sit next to Kairi. As everyone talked about school and the likes, Riku was still in his daze and refused to eat, even though he paid for it.

"Tidus...do you want this?" Riku asked pushing his tray away and laying his head on the table. Tidus shook his head like a dog. Yuna giggled as Kairi patted Riku's back.

"It's okay, you didn't know it was Ansem." Riku turned his head to look at her questioningly.

"Oh, the entire school knows by now," she said frustrated as she motioned towards Selphie. "Blame her." Kairi sing-songed as she went back to her lunch. Riku glared at her, crest-fallen.

He groaned as Gippal sat next to him, causing Baralai to sit in front of said blond goofball. He felt terrible... Nothing like this would've happened at my old school...I was popular there.

"Aw, poor wittle Riku, he's sooooo pathetic right now." Gippal said poking him, but when Riku gave him a glare, he stopped. Baralai gave him a strict look.

"So, which of you owns the brain? Obviously not the blond." a voice said from behind them. Kairi's eyes went and she jumped up and glomped the figure which had spoken. Riku turned on the bench of the table and looked at him. He loved red and black...his shirt was dark red while his pants and boots were black. So was his hair as a matter of fact.

"Hi, I'm 'my-life-is-so-screwed-all-thanks-to-a-caffeine-addicted-teen' nice to meet you." Riku said lazily and then laid his head back down.

The guy stood up, Kairi still attached, and smirked sarcastically.

"Yea, nice to meet you 'my-life-is-so-screwed-all-thanks-to-a-caffeine-addicted-teen'...I'm Vincent Valentine." the guy said smiling. He looked at everyone at the table.

"Now, tell me, Tidus, who takes the prize for worst name?" Vincent asked smiling dryly. Tidus looked thoughtful for a minute.

"I'd say you'd take it, Vinnie." Tidus said smiling evilly. Vincent shot him and bird.

"Fuck you too Tidus."

"Oh I know you love me." Tidus said smiling stupidly. Vincent rolled his eyes and then bowed.

"I accept my award with pride." Riku groaned louder, attempting to get everyone from talking.

"So, Vincent you left back early in summer to go to Tibet, how did your trip go?" Kairi asked as he sat down with them. He smiled and motioned with a so-so look.

So much for them having sympathy for little ole me! Riku shouted into his mind.

"Well...first off, my mom got boils, so she stayed inside...and dad, well, his back cracked too much from him trying to ski, so he was screwed. But I had a love affair with one of the other roommates there." Vincent said smiling.

"Ooooo...do tell!" Selphie said excitedly. Vincent shook his head.

"Sorry, promised Kioku I wouldn't...oops, did I just say that?" he said sarcastically. Riku looked at him wide eyed. Did he just say what I think he just said?

"Kioku?" Riku questioned, looking at Vincent intently. Vincent nodded.

"Yea, why?" he asked annoyed for being questioned. Riku cocked his head to the side, confused as hell. Now that he thought of it, he vaguely remembered his best friend, Cloud Strife, telling him that his twin brother was going to Tibet for the summer. Riku snickered a bit.

"Oh, I can't wait to tell Cloud about this..." Riku said aloud. Kairi looked at him.

"Who's Cloud?"

"Kioku's twin brother and my best friend...did he complain about some 'silver-headed asshole' over the summer?" Riku asked not really looking at Vincent.

"Yes, actually, he complained a lot about him."

"He was complaining about me because I talked Cloud into coming to camp with me, instead of going with Kioku to Tibet because I wouldn't be able to see either of them for a while...because we had to move here. Mom made me..." Riku said flatly, thinking about his painful good-bye with Cloud.

/Flashback

"Why do you have to go Ri-kun?" Cloud whined as Riku was packing his bags to go to Destiny Islands.

"Mom's making me, ask her." Riku grunted out.

"Fine..." Cloud replied pouting.

After getting on the train to take them closer to the edge of the continent so they could board the ship going to the islands, Riku held his head out of the window to talk to Cloud.

"I'm gonna miss ya bud...who's gonna get drunk with me" Cloud cried. Riku rolled his eyes as the train started up.

"Bye, I'll stay in contact!" Riku shouted as the train began to roll and Cloud became smaller, until he wasn't there anymore. Riku had only a few months ago realized he was gay and had a crush on Cloud...and now his mom was making him move. She didn't know thankfully.

Riku sighed... No sleep for me tonight...I have too much on my mind

/End Flashback

Riku was beginning to become depressed at thinking about that particular event. He hadn't kept his promise to his best friend...he got even sadder thinking about how he'd probably never get to see his very best friend...

Kairi noticed. "What's wrong?" she asked, concern written all over her face.

"I didn't keep my promise to him...Cloud probably has forgotten about me by now...he probably looks into his scrapbook and when a picture of me comes up he thinks, 'Gee...who is this silver-headed dork?'..."Riku said even sadder at his words. Kairi sympathized with him.

Everyone at the table grew silent.

"I miss talking to Sora..." Kairi said abruptly. Everyone looked at her and nodded.

"I thought you guys didn't know him good?" Riku asked looking at the guilty faces crowding the table.

"Sora used to be different...he was always so hyper and cheerful, but they went away to the city on vacation one summer...I think it was 2 years ago. Then Leon and Sora came home earlier than their mother and father...then afterwards, their mother came home without their dad. They've been the way there are now since then...at least in front of everyone they knew," Kairi said depressingly. The way they looked, they all thought it was their fault. Riku shook his head.

"You guys...he still acts that way...he's just afraid you guys hate him..." Riku said smiling at them. Vincent stood up only to bump into someone.

"Erg." he growled as he realized who it was. Riku turned to see and the guy looked like Tidus. Riku twitched, unaware that everyone had tensed.

"Well, hello everyone, how are we on this fine afternoon?" The guy asked smiling sadistically towards Tidus. Tidus stood up.

"What do you want, Shuyin?" he growled out. Said person waved his hand idly. He looked at Yuna.

"I see anorexia girl finally has something to eat...but only an apple?" He terrorized Yuna making her tear up and sob silently. Lenne hugged her. Lenne looked at him and stood too.

"You wanna bother someone? Go and screw Ansem silly you asshole!" Lenne yelled. Shuyin looked taken aback, and then he smiled at Lenne and walked up to her. He grabbed her hand and smiled, then kissed her and walked off.

"Hey, Lenne, don't forget to invite me to Yuna's funeral!" he shouted to them as he walked over toward Ansem's table, which by now had two more people added to it, and then a third walked up and sat down. Amazingly, four out of five of the students at the table had silver hair.

Yuna was in tears...she ran off into the girls' bathroom wailing miserably. Tidus was about to follow but then realized that would be a mistake. He looked at Lenne.

"Aw crap, she's gone to throw up again...she always does this when she's made fun of. It was Ansem who drove her to this." Lenne said walking away to check on Yuna.

"There's one thing you should know about...Ansem and his little posse have always caused trouble. I'm surprised they have Shuyin there now, a few years ago, he hated Ansem more than he hated spinach." Vincent said as he walked over to the table holding the five boys. He saw one of the silver-headed guys stand up and glare at Vincent. Riku, fortunately, could hear their conversation.

"Well, welcome back from your trip to Tibet, Valentine," said the one that had stood up.

"So, Sephiroth, Yazoo, Kadaj...what brings to hang out with such trash such as Ansem?" Vincent asked ignoring 'Sephiroth'. The others looked at him threateningly. He waved them off, apparently Sephiroth was his main target.

"Go the fuck away, Vincent!" yelled Ansem, looking pretty proud of himself and smiling evilly with the others at the table. Then another unexpected person walked up to them.

"Shut up," a person Riku recognized as Axel said helping Vincent. Vincent looked at him and nodded.

Then, each of them took a glob of mashed potatoes into their hands and smeared it on their main targets; Vincent's being Sephiroth, and Axel's was, of course, Ansem.

"Why you assholes, we have to go somewhere important later today!" Sephiroth screamed at them. Vincent smirked.

"Oh? Where? The vet's to get fixed?" Vincent said walking away, until one of the other threw a pudding at him, ruining his new shirt. He growled as the last silver headed one, this one with shortest hair of all jumped onto the table and yelled.

"FOOD FIGHT, YOU BASTARDS!" he said and began throwing various foods at random people. Some of the foods he used, unfortunately for everyone else, were foods that no one else knew where they had come from.

Vincent smirked.

"Yay." he said sarcastically
