Soul Eater: A New Journey
Chapter 3: Old Friends and New Ones
When Riku heard Kisa tell Soul the truth rather then letting himself do it Riku did get why she couldn't just leave well enough alone and forget that he had ever told her but once she had told Soul Riku felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest and torn into tiny pieces right before his eye's Riku felt worse once he knew that Soul just got up and left without giving Riku a chance to explain, And soon after Soul and Maka left Kisa tried to apologize to Riku "Please Riku I'm sorry" Kisa said trying her best to get him to forgive her "You had no right to tell him you very well I was going to!" Riku said anger clear in his voice "Pease Riku forgive me" Kisa begged close to tears "Get out!" Riku said and Kisa just looked at him disbelief in her eye's "GET OUT!" Riku shouted at her, The bangs of Kisa's hair dropped covering her eye's and she moved off the bed and stood and left the room with out a word or a sound she went to her own room and laid down on her bed burying her face in her pillow letting her own silent tears fall, And after an hour passed Riku got up from his bed and walked out of his room and the Apartment and walked around Death City for awhile thinking about the fact that even if he had told Soul himself that it wouldn't have been any different as it had when Kisa told him "Dam it I shouldn't have yelled at Kisa she was only doing what she thought was right" Riku thought and sighed "But even if I told Soul myself it wouldn't change the fact that he now hate's me" Riku thought and continued to walk around for another hour eventually running into the hyper active blue haired boy known as BlackStar and the girl that was always by his side Tsuibaki "Just perfect he better not challenge me to another fight" Riku thought as BlackStar and Tsuibaki approached him "Hey umm Riku right?" BlackStar said having nearly forgotten Riku's name "Why are you on your own?" BlackStar asked noticing Kisa's absence from Riku's side "Thinking" Riku said not glancing at BlackStar, The bangs of his hair covered his face and his tear stained eye's "Ok well anyway do you know what's up with Soul he seems well angry" BlackStar asked scratching the back of his head with a goofy look on his face "No" Riku said walking past them "Oh ok well bye then" BlackStar said and walked off heading towards where ever he had been heading with Tsuibaki "I should never have even told Kisa" Riku said as he walked, It was a few more minutes before he reached his destination, A small open grassy area with tree's here and there providing shade, Riku used to train here with Soul right up to the day he left Death City "How nice at lest this place hasn't changed" Riku said silently, He walked over to a tree and sat under it much like he always had when he and Soul finished training, Riku sighed and looked at the sky "The door is closed now and always will be" Riku said as a single tear fell from his eye's, His gaze fell to looking at the ground looking at nothing in particular "And that's how it should always stay" Riku said unaware he was being watched by Maka, Soul and Kisa "See I told you he'd come here" Kisa said quietly so Riku wouldn't hear her "He must hate me for telling you rather then letting him say it" Kisa said and sighed it was clear from how red her eye's were that she to had been crying but she wouldn't admit to it "Well I know for a fact that if you didn't tell me he most likely wouldn't have" Soul said leaning against a tree "And that isn't cool" Soul said "Well Soul do you want to know the one thing he would always talk to me about?" Kisa asked causing Soul to look at her "The only thing…no the only person he ever talked about was you" Kisa said "For the first few days after I met him" Kisa said and smiled "He always said that he'd give anything to be able to come back, To be able to stop making you believe he left and wasn't coming back" Kisa said as she watched Riku who was still sitting under the tree looking at the ground tears still silently falling with no sign of stopping, Soul looked at Riku and sighed "That doesn't give him any reason not to tell me why he left and never came back" Soul said "He's your brother he shouldn't need a reason" Maka said looking at Soul then looking at Riku "Do you have any idea how much it must hurt him to think that you hate him?" Maka asked Soul "Hey who's are they?" Kisa asked as she saw two girls and a guy approach Riku, Soul and Maka looked at the two people Kisa had just brought to everyone's attention "Hey it's the two girls we meet earlier" Maka said as she recognised the two girls that were talking to Riku "Then who's they guy?" Kisa asked "I don't know" Maka said then turned to Soul "So you know h…" Maka started saying but Soul had already left the trees and walked over to the small group "Who are you three?" Soul asked standing beside the now standing Riku "Oh sorry I'm Hikaru Kasema and this is Devan and Zinaida or Zina for short" The girl with a hawk on her shoulder said as she introduced herself and her two friends "Oh well nice to meet you all I'm Soul" Soul said, Kisa and Maka had by now walked out from the trees and now stood with Soul and Riku, Kisa stood beside Riku but she wasn't sure if was still made at her or not, "So how do you know my brother?" Soul asked looking at the three people "Oh that's easy we met him about a year and a half ago" Hikaru said smiling "Hey Riku can I ask you a favour?" Zina asked Riku who nodded in return "Sing a song for me" She Said "No" Riku said "Please" Zina said "No" Riku said again "Pretty please" Zina said making the best puppy like face she could "Hell no" Riku said this went on for about 5 minutes before Zina gave up and sat on the ground and pouted like a little kid "Meany" She said "Thank you" Riku said and smirked causing Zina to tackle him to the ground and start pinching his cheeks "Hey cut it out!" Riku said as he struggled to get the apparently now crazy girl off of him and save his now soar and red cheeks "Stop that hurts" Riku said as he tried to pry the girls hands from his cheeks "I'm not stoping till you agree to sing a song for me!" Zina said as she continued pinching his cheeks the others all sweat dropped and eventually Devan saved Riku by pulling Zina off of him and too the side "What are you insane" Riku laughed as he stood while Zina glared at him if it wasn't for the fact that Devan was there she would leap at Riku and pinch his cheeks again till he eventually would give in, "So why are you all here anyway?" Riku asked finally now that he knew he was safe from the cheek pinching monster known as Zina, "We are here to warn you Riku" Hikaru said as she looked at Riku and the others "Warn me about what?" Riku asked slightly confused "That "He" has escaped and might be coming after you once again" Hikaru said and Riku's eye's widened "This is a joke right" Riku said completely sure what Hikaru was saying was nothing but a joke "I'm afraid not Riku Kage Masumeh has escaped his 1,000 year sentence and will be coming for you" Devan said looking at Riku "That why we are here" Zina said standing up "What who the hell is this Kage guy?" Soul asked, Kisa looked at Soul "He's a person that nearly killed Riku because he defended me from one of his attacks and is also the person Riku defeated in battle 5 months ago" Kisa said "Wait let me get this right, You three are here to defend my brother from this Kage guy who has recently escaped and has a grudge against Riku so will most likely come here looking for him to kill him" Soul said and Hikaru nodded "So before he gets here we need to train Riku so he will be strong enough to defeat him a second time" Hikaru said as she glanced at Riku who had walked away from the everyone "Then.."Riku said and took a deep breath and turned around "There's no time to waste!" Riku said and grinned "That's more like the Riku I know" Kisa said and smiled "Then lets begin" Hikaru said then turned and looked at Soul and Maka "I need you two to be Riku and Kisa's opponents" Hikaru said "Sure" Soul said and smirked turning into a scythe Maka grabbed Soul's scythe handle firmly in her hands "Ready when ever you two are" Maka said Riku smirked and also became a scythe but rather then look like Soul in his Scythe form Riku had a flame like pattern that covered the blade and handle in his weapon form "Ok you lot ready?" Hikaru asked "Yes" Maka and Kisa replied at the same time and got into their stances ready to counter an attack from the other "Alright begin!" Hikaru said, Maka was first to attack she charged forward at Kisa then swung the scythe at Kisa's feet trying to knock her off balance Kisa however jumped to avoid the attack "Alright our turn" Kisa said and smirked "Ready Riku?" Kisa asked "Yer lets show them our strength" Riku said and with that Kisa corrected herself in midair and started to fall directly at Maka "Get ready Maka, Soul we wont hold back" Kisa said as she lifted her arms making it look like she was just going to attack straight down, "Maka defend" Soul said "Right" Maka said placing the scythe in front of herself in a defensive position Kisa smirked "Fell for it" She said as she vanished from the air and appeared behind Maka the tip of her scythe touching Maka's back, Both Soul and Riku returned to their human form "Good work you lot but you are going to need the train a lot harder if you ever hope to be strong enough to beat Kage" Hikaru said "So that is why you are all training then" Came Kid's voice from behind everyone, Riku, Kisa and the others all looked at Kid, Liz and Patty "Oh hi Guys" Maka said and waved "How long you been here?" Soul asked as Patty started to draw something with a stick in the dirt "Long enough to see you start and Finnish training" Kid said "Hi I'm Hikaru that's Devan and that's Zina" Hikaru said as she pointed to each person as she said their name "Death The Kid and that's Liz and that's Patty" Kid said pointing at the two girls "Oh you're Lord Deaths son" Zina said then got an evil look on her face that sent chills down Riku's spin "Please don't do anything" Riku said but it was too late as Zina ran towards kid and messed his "Symmetrical" Hair up "What are you doing!" Kid said and quickly fixed his hair While Patty laughed at him Kid just glared at both Patty and Zina who were both in hysterics and on the ground laughing "I can't believe it worked" Zina laughed as she pointed at Kid but then she looked at Hikaru and was instantly silenced as there seemed to be dark aura coming off Hikaru
(5 Minutes later)
"I see so that's why you were all training" Kid said "Yer but we need more help if we are ever going to be ready in time" Riku said and sighed "Then count us in" Kid, Liz and Patty all said at the same time "Us too" BlackStar said as he and Tsuibaki appeared from the trees "Not like a guy like that is any match for a big guy like me" BlackStar said and smirked, "Then its settled we all train to prepare for the fight ahead with Kage" Hikaru said and everyone nodded. "Then let's begin!" Hikaru said "Right" Came everyone's reply and their training started.
