Ichiru couldn't help but place a hand on her shoulder there was something inside him that wanted to comfort her and tell her everything is going to be alright. He saw how pained she was the regret placed in her eyes and how broken her heart must be there had to be something he could do the question was what and how.
Rika continued on with her story "After he was killed my mother began to hate me saying things like it was my fault and how I should've been the one who was killed not him for awhile I believed her which is why I left" She finished with a long sigh. "I guess you figured it was better that way but what about the people who do care about you i'm sure Zero is worried sick and looking for you as we speak" Ichiru gave her a small smile.
She was about to answer him when that voice came back "Rika have you forgotten about him already he's going to kill you" her eyes were closed shut hands now holding the side of her head. "MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP" Ichiru stared on now worried "What's going on with her make what stop?" He asked to himself both his hands now placed on her shoulders.
"Shh...open your eyes" Ichiru now stroked her hair in an atempt to calm her down. Opening her eyes slowly Rika saw that Ichiru hadn't left and he was trying to help her. "Ichiru you stayed" This made her feel a little bit better both inside and out "Of course I did what happened that made you freak out like that?" He finally decided to ask. "Well there's this voice that will play through my head at times like right now it said he's gonna kill me" Her voice was now calm and quite.
"Who would want to kill her and why?"He left this question unasked but replied by pulling her into a small hug. "Listen no one is going to kill you especially since you have my brother as one of your friends he won't let anyone hurt you i'm sure of it" That one small hug was enough to spread some warmth throughout her cold body. "Thank you Ichiru for listening and helping me I do hope we can be good friends,Oh crap I almost forgot my name is Rika Ishida it's good to meet you" She gave him a funny smile.
He chuckled lightly at her forgetfullness. "It's nice to meet you aswell Rika,now why don't I bring you back to cross academy it's better than being out here in a forest" Helping her up they both started their way back to the academy and who knows maybe they'll see more of eachother only time would tell.
A/N: Well there ya have it this chappy was meant to focus on Ichiru and Rika's new friendship building and how he's planning on helping her through her tough times. I do hope you enjoyed it oh and Aidou is going to be appearing more in the story trust me on this also I know I suck at coming up with random places but I may be wrong on this,I don't think they mentioned where Cross Academy is or what country Zero and Yuki are living in,so please forgive me for all the random places ehehehe,Enjoy
