Chapter 21
It was seven o'clock, and I was waiting for Riven at the dinner hall. I was wearing some type of "debonair" outfit Caitlyn made for me. It was a white tux, with a rose on the side of the collar. I was wearing black dress pants and shoes to match. I shaved the beard that was trying to grow on my chin and used this nice smelling shampoo, which Caitlyn provided. I looked around for Riven but she was nowhere in sight. I sighed and looked at the big clock at the entrance of institute. It read 7:05 P.m. I decided to wait a little longer just in case, but when I looked around again to find her, I found a fucking angel. Riven was wearing a black dress, her white snowy hair was let down, it looked like she ironed it with a … iron? She was wearing red lipstick, and black heels. Her dress was showing all of her curves, and I found my jaw on the ground.
"Hello Yasuo, sorry I am late; I was taking too long with my makeup. It was my first time using it so Ahri had to teach me." I shook my head to get out of the trance I was in.
"It's okay, you look very beautiful Riven. I can't take my eyes off of you." Riven blushed and held out her hand. I smiled and took her gently with mine. I walked Riven inside of the dinner hall and closed the door behind me. We walked, hand in hand, to a table far in the back from the crowd. We sat down and took a look into each other eyes. Riven looked away, and I was still staring. Riven turned her head to take a look at me again and smiled.
"You are blushing samurai." Riven said, giggling.
"I can't help it…" I said back. My body started to move on its own, as I slowly reached for one of Riven's hands. I gently took Riven's hand and I leaned over the table and found myself kissing the only perfect woman of my life. I broke the kiss and stood up from the table. "Let's get something to eat!" I said, licking my lips. Riven laughed and followed me to the line. Once we got our food we came back to the table. Riven had ribs on her plate with fries, while had the same old rice bowl. We started eating and Riven stopped to speak.
"Yasuo, I have to ask, If we meet after I killed your elder, would you fight me?" she asked. I looked up and arched my eyebrows.
"Riven why are you asking me that?" I asked. Riven looked at the table and played with her food with a fork.
"I… I just want to know." She whispered. I sighed.
"Yes, I would have to fight you, fight you to the death." I said, still causally eating my rice. Riven looked at me with her fierce red eyes.
"Would you kill me if you had the chance?" she asked. I put my rice bowl down and looked into Riven's eyes.
"If it was the years ago, yes, now, after three years, no." Riven laughed and picked up her fork to cut more of her rips apart.
"You are full of shit Yasuo." she said while laughing. I didn't take kindly to that.
"What do you mean ""I am full of shit?"" I asked. Riven held a bone piece of her rips and stabbed it with a fork.
"Because whats the difference? I still killed him! Let's say if I was a man, would you still treat me this way?" she asked, her voice rising in volume.
"I wouldn't have feelings for you, but if you were a guy, I still wouldn't kill you. You are missing the point Riven. If it was in the midst of battle, I would have no choice but to try and kill you, and if I did my brother would still be alive, but I wouldn't have made it to the League if it weren't for that. I wasted three years of my damn life to find you, and when I finally did, I came to this place. People here treat me with respect, and that's all I wanted. I am not a "murderer" here, and I finally have love in my life. So please Riven can please stop talking about this." Riven stabbed her ribs harder and slammed her fist on the table.
"I know you can't just forgive me, we need to settle what happened in the past. After dinner we will fight in the training room, but it will be a room for special accessions. Now eat your fucking rice bowls and lets go!" I face palmed myself and sighed.
"Fine Riven, have it your way, but before we fight, why are you so tense?" I asked.
"I just cant get over the past. It had been haunting me forever and I believe this will finally make the nightmares fucking stop." Riven said with shaking fists.
"Riven, you fought me before. Why didn't your past stop haunting you?" I asked.
"You didn't know who I was at that time. Its time to settle this Yasuo, I want my life back. Fight me with all of your strength." I sighed… I just wanted a normal dinner…
We walked to the training room without changing clothes.
"Riven we really o don't have to do this…" I said when we reached the training room.
"Shut up and fight me." Riven said, while taking her sword out. Riven went to the front of the training room and opened the door. "Let's settle this." She said before walking in. I walked behind her and closed the door. I turned around and the scenery around me wasn't the league anymore… it was, Ionia. I was standing in the castle room, before I found my elder dead. The castle was very straight forward, a big long hallway with red carpet on the floor. The sun was shining through the windows on the wall beside me, making the hall way glow. I walked forward and a woman came out of my Elder's room.
"Who are you?" she asked. The woman turned around and it was Riven, wearing her battle armor she wears in the league.
"Riven, you know who I am." I said, folding my arms.
"How do you know my name? It doesn't matter; if it's a fight you want it's a fight you will get." Riven took out her sword and it looked different, it was a complete sword, not the broken one she carries. Riven formed her battle stance and I quickly formed mines. Riven ran towards me attempting to get the first strike. I put my sword in front of me, and with a metal ring, we clashed.
"I don't want to fight you Riven!" I yelled, even though her strength was mind blowing.
"How the hell do you know my name?! Tell me before I cut you to pieces!" she yelled back. Riven broke the clash and dashed backwards, then came at me again. We clashed and clashed, fighting each other in a perfect circle, with no one getting the edge. Riven swung her sword down and I quickly blocked it but her sword combined with her strength had me on my knees. She was above me, her eyes were filled with anger and sadness, something I never seen before. What happened to the Riven I know? What she always like this? I used my chi energy to separate us, giving us room before we dashed to each other again.
"Riven, I know your name, because…" I couldn't tell her the real reason; it was as if she was living this moment.
"I don't care! I killed lives today, the lives of innocent fucking children and adults, and you will be one of them!" Riven's sword lit up green and she started to laugh crazy as hell. Riven put a hand up on her left eye and pulled her head back. "I killed today! So much killing! All those worthless fucking people died by my hands. I want to kill more! Let me kill you!" she yelled. I looked at her, while she laughed manically, having actual fear in my eyes.
"No, you can't be the Riven I know!" I yelled. Riven laughed harder and walked to me slowly, getting ready to end my life.
"The time for talk is over." She whispered. Riven dashed to me and made two semi circles with her body and sword, trying to hit me. I couldn't play on the defensive any longer; I had to end this… nightmare. I used my chi energy to gather the winds around me. The more I dodged and parried Riven attacks, the more wind gathered around me. It was time, and I had to use my finisher. I back away from Riven, and she followed suit. We dashed to each other for the final time, only this time I managed to make a whirlwind, catching her by surprise. Riven was launched into the air, and I followed her using the winds to reach her height.
"This will be your last breath!" I yelled. I cut Riven up in multiple areas, making sure she wouldn't get back up. I raised my sword high in the air and came down for the last strike.
"Ha!" Riven, with the last of her strength raised a flow of energy, and it cut through my body, making my vision blurry. I was going to die, but not before taking her with me. Her energy wave didn't make my body split apart, but it cut the inside of my body up. I somehow had the strength to finish Riven, by planting my sword inside of her chest, and as we landed my body landed on sword as well. The pain was fucking horrible, but I landed on top of Riven. Riven had her eyes closed, and I smiled. I was going to die, but I finally got rid of her nightmares. I awoke in the training room beside Riven, who was playing with my hair.
"Riven?" I asked.
"Yes Yasuo?" she answered, being oblivious to what just happened.
"I killed you Riven…" I said back, still shaking from our battle. Riven smiled and gave me a kiss on the lips.
"Yes, you killed the side of me I wanted to forget. I am finally free." I sighed.
"Couldn't you do that yourself?" I said. Riven slapped me on the side of my cheek.
"You are so damn stupid! Of course I couldn't do that by myself! I can't fight myself!" Riven yelled. I laughed and finally had the strength to sit up.
"Well, I am glad I helped you, now can we please have a nice dinner?" I asked. Riven smiled and stood up.
"Yes, I would love to." Riven offered to help me up and I grabbed her hand. I stood up and she leaned on my shoulder. "Thank you Yasuo, I can finally think." She whispered. I smiled as we walked back to the dining hall.
Meanwhile
"Look Micah I need your help." I asked. I was standing in a dark room, with Jinx beside me. the only light that was there was a lamp hanging from the ceiling.
"What do you need my help for Anthony? I told you after your brother fucked us all over because he was jealous of you; I am not helping you for shit." I sighed.
"Look I challenged him to get my rank back, and he agreed. But I need a team of five to help me. You used to be one of the popular Summoners because of how you guided champions in lanes they had a huge disadvantage in. I know you remember when you guided Soraka in the Jungle!" Micah laughed and took his hood off. Micah had light black skin, and glassed on his face. He was sixteen and used to be in gold before my brother messed up the ranks. He had a flat haircut and was shorter than me, but a little taller than a Yordle.
"I will help but, if we win I want him back in bronze where he fucking belongs!" Micah yelled, tighting his fist." I held a thumbs up.
"Oh he will get what he deserves. Come one lets find the rest of our friends." We walked out of Micah's room and headed out. I closed the door behind us and Jinx tugged my hood on my cloak.
"Your friend really made Soraka jungle?" she asked.
"Yep, and for some reason it seems to work. He made Lee Sin go adc, he made Warwick mid, and even went the far lengths as making Nasus support!" Jinx mouthed the word "wow" and started making plan noises as we made it to the elevator.
If I win I can finally be back to the rank I belong, it will feel good to be in Diamond I one again.
