Soul Eater: A New Journey
Chapter 2: Truth
The next morning Riku was first awake at his and Kisa's apartment, Yesterday hadn't gone to plan and as the memories of yesterday entered Riku's mind he rolled over onto his stomach and tryed to forget about what had happened
"I never should have come back here" Riku said silently and buried his head in his pillow, A few hours passed when the faint sound out knocking at the door flooded Riku's ears and seeing as it was Saturday there was no classes so Riku had no reason to get up Kisa however was already up she had gotten up an hour ago, She stoped what ever she was doing and answered the door to find Maka and Soul standing there
"Oh hi Soul hi Maka" She said and of course Riku heard her and sighed
"Why are they here?" Riku asked himself as he covered himself completely with his blanket
"Is Riku still asleep?" Maka asked having noticed he wasn't anywhere to be seen as she and Soul walked in
"Yer guess everything what happened yesterday took its toll on him" Kisa said looking back at Riku's bedroom door "But I know he is awake he always gets up earlier then me" Kisa said and sighed "Please sit down I'll get you two something to drink" Kisa said and disappeared into the kitchen and after a few moments came back with two cups of tea, She handed the drinks to Soul and Maka "I'll be right back" Kisa said walking off and into Riku's room Maka took a sip of her tea and sighed
"You could have been nicer to him yesterday you know Soul" Maka said and placed the cup on the table
"What? He's the one that suddenly decided to leave and not come back" Soul said placing his cup on the table "Besides I had a right to be mad" Soul said then there was a loud crashing sound coming from Riku's room
"Get up Riku I know your awake!" Kisa shouted, Riku by now was well awake and Kisa through the blankets off of Riku much to his disliking
"Hey it's cold you kn- Wait what are you doing with that book?" Riku shouted then there was silence and Kisa walked out of Riku's room holding a book in her hand which seemed to have a small dent in it and a few minutes later Riku emerged from his room rubbing his now acing head
"Why is it you always have to hit me with that book" Riku said then a chill went down his spine when he saw Kisa glaring at him "Want me to hit you again?" Kisa said holding the book up Maka and Soul both sweat dropped
"I'll pass" Riku said and finally noticed Soul and Maka,
"Hi Riku" Maka said and smiled Soul how ever was silent
"Hi" Riku said then disappeared into his room once more and closed the door this time locking it, Riku slid down to the ground his back against his door he pulled his knees up to his chest and hid his face in them
"Riku.." Kisa said having seen him disappear into his room once more she knew that he was upset and it most likely got worse once he saw Soul,
"Sorry since everything that happened yesterday Riku's been upset" Kisa said and glanced at Soul
"And you yelling at him yesterday didn't help" Kisa said and took their now empty tea cups and placed them in the sink in the kitchen then she walked back out
"He's trying Soul he really is but.." Kisa said and trailed off
"I know" Soul said the bangs of his hair covering his face Kisa looked at him a little surprised
"Then why are you so angry at him?" Kisa asked, Soul looked at her
"Because he left and never came back and he won't tell me why" Soul said Maka looked at Soul kind of surprised that Soul hadn't told her that he was worried about Riku but then again that wasn't Soul's "Style" in other words he'd think it uncool to show his feelings, Riku who was still resting against the door had heard them he pulled his knees closer as everything replayed in his head from the moment he left to the moment he meet Kisa, Kisa sighed and walked over to Riku's bedroom door and knocked on the door causing Riku to jolt from his thoughts
"Hey Riku you ok?" Kisa asked from the other side of the door
"Yer I'm fine" Came Riku's muffled response caused by his face being buried in his knees "Just leave me alone" Riku thought and pulled his knees closer then thought possible
"Oh well ok then" Kisa said and looked at Soul and Maka "Hey how about we go and have lunch and give Riku some time to think" Kisa asked and smiled at the two
"Sure that sounds fun" Maka said and stood the three of them headed out the door but once outside the door of the apartment Soul stoped
"I'm going to stay" He said, Maka and Kisa looked at him for a moment then nodded
"Ok we will be back soon" Kisa said and with that her and Maka walked down the hall and left, Soul walked back into the Apartment and closed the door behind him, He walked over to Riku's bedroom door and sat there the door being the only thing separating himself and Riku, If the door wasn't there he and Riku would be sitting back to back
"So you going to tell me?" Soul asked but he got no response, Soul sighed "Come on Riku you used to tell me everything so why not now?" Soul asked but he got the feeling Riku was ignoring him, There was a faint sound of something most likely Riku moving on the other side of the door then the sound of the door being unlocked, Riku moved and sat on his bed in same position he had been sitting in on the floor, Soul stood up and opened the door and walked in to find Riku sitting on his bed hiding his face in his knees, Soul sighed and walked over sitting at the foot of the bed
"Are you going to tell me at all even if it's not now?" Soul asked Riku who nodded his head although it was barely noticeable, Soul sighed "How is it that we changed so much" Soul thought aloud and Riku lifted his head and looked at Soul "I mean even before you left we drifted apart and eventually stoped talking to one another altogether" Soul said "But I guess the important thing is that your back now" Soul said and looked at Riku who once again buried his face in his knees Soul sighed and stood he walked over to the window and looked out it thinking back on how he and Riku used to be.
Meanwhile with Maka and Kisa-
Kisa and Maka had finished their lunch and after awhile just simply walked around rather then go back so soon, So as they walked they talked about a lot of things including why Riku is the way he is
"I never would have guessed that was the reason Riku left" Maka said as she and Kisa walked side by side
"Yer it took him awhile to tell me so you can't let Soul know ok" Kisa said and Maka nodded
"Alright after all Riku should tell Soul himself" Maka said and fell silent she and Kisa went to a few shops here and there just looking at the different clothes and eventually buying a dress or two, Maka only brought one while Kisa brought two.
The one Maka brought was a nice ice-blue colour that went past her knees, The bottom was a silvery colour that rimmed the bottom in a form of feathers that slowly made its way up the spine of the dress.
The one Kisa brought would barely skim her knees. In colour, it was a simple ice blue, almost steel from the hem line and wandering up like a vine of ivy were silver feathers with darker black tips. The feathers ended to tickle the front of the chest and show off a v like collar with light studs that glimmered in the light The second one that Kisa brought she said that she must have, The dress was A silvery cloth that wrapped around with an ice-blue. The bottom was rimmed with little feathers, also the heart shaped neckline is rimmed with feathers. At the waist there was a little blue ribbon.
Once the two girls were happy with the dresses they had picked out and brought they left the clothing store and headed back to Kisa's apartment hoping that Soul and Riku had settled their differences but they came across two girls on their way back,
The First girl had shiny black hair with a blue streak in it she wore a blue short sleeved top and black jeans,
The second girl had long jet black hair and she wore black jeans and a light green tanktop she also had a hawk perched on her shoulder,
The two girls seemed lost so Maka and Kisa walked up to the two
"Hi are you two lost?" Maka asked and the girl wearing the green top nodded
"Yes we are" She said "We were headed to see Lord Death but somehow we got lost" The girl said
"Oh well you got that way" Maka said and pointed the way to D.W.M.A she gave the girls further directions in case they got lost again, The two girls thanked Maka and Kisa and headed off to speak with Lord Death, Maka and Kisa started to head back again
Back with Soul and Riku-
"The reason I didn't come back was because.."Riku started saying but drifted off, Soul looked at him
"Well why did you never come back?" Soul asked and moved from looking out the window to sitting at the foot of the bed once more
"Well I.."Riku started to say, He lifted his head up and looked at Soul
"I was afraid I guess" Riku said knowing he couldn't tell Soul the truth just yet,
"Afraid of what?" Soul asked
"That you'd hate me" Riku said and looked away
"Hate you I'd never hate you Riku after all you are my brother" Soul said, Riku didn't notice that Maka and Kisa were standing out side of his door but Soul did
"Come on Riku tell him" Kisa thought as she listened
"How long are you two going to stand there" Soul said and Kisa and Maka knew that they were busted, The two girls walked into the room
"Tell him the truth Riku" Kisa said and caused Soul to look at her a little confused
"No" Riku said burying his face in his knees again
"If you don't tell him then I will" Kisa said Soul looked at Kisa then at Riku then back at Kisa
"Tell me what?" Soul asked wanting to know the real reason why Riku never came back
"Don't Kisa" Riku said silently but that wasn't going to stop her
"Well the real reason Riku never came back was because at the time he was working with Medusa and a few other witches" Kisa said and looked at Riku "I'm sorry Riku but he needs to know" Kisa thought
"So what you are saying is he didn't come back because he was my enemy?" Soul asked in disbelief
"Yes" Kisa said silently beating herself up for saying it, Soul stood and left the room and the Apartment Maka followed close behind, Kisa sighed and sat beside Riku "Sorry" She said and pulled Riku into a hug silent tears falling from Riku's eye's "Now he really does hate me" Riku thought.
