Riku had spent a majority of his week on his couch. Sitting, laying, sleeping, eating, pretty much just wasting time. He let out a exasperate breath as he set up from his laying position. Since he got to the world, he had been so busy fighting and training, he had neglected to make any true friends here. Though he had lived in this building for quite some time, he really didn't know anybody else. A week spent indoors with nobody to talk to was beginning to have its toil on him.
Riku stood up and moved to the kitchen, but returned to the couch moments later. He had forgot that he was practically out of food. His stomach growled, letting him know what had to be done. Riku fidgeted uncomfortable. He didn't like to admit it, but that girl had really unnerved him. Having some one who he couldn't sense, but only smell was unnerving. Sure, he could tell when she was around, but what good was that if he couldn't tell exactly where she was. It would be like knowing when someone was about to kill you and just having to wait for it.
Riku got up again and started pacing. Whether he liked it or not, he would have to get some groceries. He grimaced. Why did food have to be such a great weakness? Here was a man that could kill thousands of heartless, but take away his food and end of story. 'Fine, I guess I'm heading out.' He walked to the closet and took out his coat.
Mr. Marcus was standing guard today. "Haven't seen you out for a while. Sick were you? My wife would of gladly taken care of you ya know?"
Riku smiled. While it was true, he had no friends. He did have a lot of people that thought highly of him and believed they owed him a debt of some sort for fighting so many heartless. Riku shook his head. "I wasn't sick. Just getting some rest for once." He faked a yawn. "I guess everybody needs it from time to time."
"Alright then, but you know where to go if you get sick hear?"
Riku nodded before walking outside. His entire body relaxed as he walked around in the fresh air. His skin shivered against the chilly windy. He allowed himself a smile. His smile dropped the second he picked up the scent of peaches in the wind.
He turned in the direction of the wind. "Where are you?" He demanded. He listened as light feet landed on the roof.
"Lucky me. I got to see Riku's smile." She walked closer, but stopped when he withdrew Way to The Dawn. "Where have you been? I haven't seen out since the last time we talked."
With his other hand, Riku rested his face in his palm and grumbled. 'How the heck did she find me?' He had wanted to get his grocery and sneak back without her noticing. "Have you been waiting for me here?"
"Nope! I just got lucky. Imagine that."
"Yea, imagine that..." Riku didn't trust her much. With her personality though, it was hard to feel threatened. He did away with Way to The Dawn and headed for the edge of the roof.
"Where ya going?" Noir asked, following behind him.
Riku jumped off the edge. He figured he could just ignore her. She would get bored with him and go away. She seemed to be the type with the short attention span, or at least he hoped she was.
He listened, but didn't hear her land.
"Boo!" She yelled right in front of his face.
"Wah!" Riku lost ten lives as he stumbled back onto his butt. He jumped up and tried to tackle her. He missed. "What do you want!" He listened to her laugh.
"I already told you. You're fun. This last weeks been pretty boring without you." she said this from right next to him.
Riku curiously reached to his right and placed his hand on her. For some reason, she allowed him to do this.
"That would be my boob..."
"Oh! Sorry." Riku retracted his hand and jumped back from her, his face as red as a cherry.
She was laughing again. "I was just kidding. That was more shoulder."
'Seriously!" Riku thought as his frustration began to rise. This girl was trying to drive him mad. He started walking, deciding to ignore her for sure this time.
"Where are we going?" She asked from above him.
He was realizing just how hard it was not to react to her. She surprised him every time she talked. Why couldn't she just pick a place and stay put?
"Don't you ever get bored? Being alone all the time has to be boring right?" she continued to question him.
What did she care if he was bored. His life had nothing to do with hers. Yes he was bored, but there was nothing that could be done about that. He was waiting for Sora and there wasn't much that could be done to make that any more lively. Besides for her being around it seemed. "Isn't there anybody else you could bother?"
"I suppose, but I found you first."
"How lucky of me," Riku grumbled.
A hand grazed his cheek. "I wouldn't call it luck Riku."
Before Riku could respond, she was gone. While her scent lingered, he was positive that she had gone somewhere else. He surprised himself when he realized he was frowning. Shouldn't he be glad she was gone? Wasn't she just an annoying that was distracting him from training. And though she didn't seem it, she could still be very dangerous.
The rest of his trip to and from the convenience store was fairly peacefully. He fought a handful of heartless that tried to ambushed him on the way back to his apartment. With a tight hold on his groceries, he jumped onto the side of his apartment building and darted up the wall to the roof. Riku got to the door, knocked, and then waited.
Mr. Marcus peeped through a hole before opening up for him. Riku was startled by mr. Marcus patting him on the back. "Good job Riku my boy. You did good!"
Riku nodded slowly as Mr. Marcus started laughed and didn't stop.
"You better hurry and get back to your room now." Mr. Marcus practically sang.
Riku did just that, he hurried down the stairs. Something was very wrong with Mr. Marcus. He never lost his composure like that usually.
Riku stopped dead in his tracks. He sniffed and did a double take.
Peaches...
She was here...
Noir was here. In his apartment building. As he walking down more stairs, the smell grew stronger. No, Noir wasn't just in the building. He stood outside of his door.
Noir was in his apartment.
