Title: Sorry RisaAuthor: TombMistress
Chapter 2: Hello, Miss Riku
Disclaimer: I do not own D.N. Angel.
/blah/ Dark talking mentally with Daisuke.
"Blah," people talking to each other.
"Huh?" said Riku as she looked up to where the voice had come from. She recognized that voice, but it couldn't be him… Riku was almost hesitating to look up, and when she did get a look at the person, her face turned crimson. Daisuke saw what was going on and quickly explained to Riku that Dark was his older brother. Riku didn't really believe him, but she just kept quiet about that.
"Um, well, nice to meet you…Dark," said Riku with a nice smile. Her face was now just a little red, but she felt nervous, she still hadn't forgotten that night when the Phantom Thief had stolen her first kiss, and the resemblance between Daisuke's brother and the thief Dark was uncanny.
"It's always a pleasure to meet a pretty lady such as you," said Dark, who started working his charm on her. To Riku's surprise, she felt someone touch her hand, and it was none other than Dark. He had gotten a hold of her hand and kissed it, like a proper gentleman, but this little action had Riku pull her hand away quickly, and once again, she turned crimson. She had to get out or else she would end up doing something stupid, like hitting Daisuke's brother or something.
She really didn't want to stay in the trolley, but she had to, it was the fastest way to get to school. Riku just headed over to the side and sat down without saying a word. Daisuke hadn't said anything about what had happened because he was now in a mental fight with Dark. He couldn't believe what his "brother" had just done.
/Dark! Why! Why did you do that/ screamed Daisuke mentally. He knew that Dark was a womanizer, but why did he have to be like that with Riku? Did Dark really have a crush on Riku? Or was he just doing this to aggravate him?
"Do what Daisuke? Oh, you mean kissing Miss Riku's hand? That was just a greeting; it is the polite thing to do, why? Are you jealous Daisuke?" Dark said with a fake smile on his face. Deep inside Dark was smirking, but he knew that if he showed his smirk, then he would be given away. He knew that Riku could hear what he was talking about, and so he was having a lot of fun answering Daisuke's question out loud.
Dark did have a crush on Riku, but he wasn't the shy type, so if he wanted to tell her that he liked her, he'd just say it straight out without a problem. There was only one thing that really puzzled him. The thing was, that almost every time Dark would try to hit on Riku, she would just shy away from him, unlike other girls who would go along with him. That was the reason that Dark really liked Riku, she was going to be really hard to get, she was going to be a real challenge.
So, since Dark is Dark, he went right over to where Riku was and sat down next to her. Riku had taken out a book and was reading when she heard the conversation that Daisuke and his brother were having. She was turning red again, and she hated it. She was tired of blushing like a stupid little girl, so instead she told herself to be mad. With that, her blush quickly went away. Riku had begun to turn the page in her book when she felt someone sit next to her. She didn't mind since it was a public trolley, so she didn't even think about it.
"So? Are you in Daisuke's class?" asked a familiar voice right next to Riku. Riku now knew whom it was that had sat down next to her. She really wished that this boy had not looked like the Thief, because he gave her bad memories, which made her feel uneasy. Riku put a bookmark on her book and slowly closed it. Just because this guy made her feel weird didn't mean that she should be rude and act like a little girl.
"Yes, I am. What school do you go to?" asked Riku who feigned genuine curiosity. She would not let him have the upper hand in the conversation because she feared it might get out of hand and she would start blushing again.
Dark was taken by surprise by her quick answer and her even quicker question. "I'm on vacation right now, so I took the opportunity to come and visit my little brother as you can see," said Dark calmly. Riku had noticed that he had not answered her question, but she decided not to dig.
The arrival to Central Station, their destination, was announced and they all got off the trolley. Now the only thing left to do was to walk the rest of the way. Daisuke decided to walk alongside Riku and start a conversation. Dark was trailing on behind them and pondering the things that he would do at Azumano.
Dark decided to walk on the other side of Riku. They were nearing the school, only two more blocks to go. Riku started walking a little faster since she was going to be late to her morning practice. She was looking at her feet wondering if in fact Daisuke had been jealous when Dark had kissed her hand. She hadn't noticed that she was nearing the edge of the sidewalk. Suddenly, a man on a bicycle whizzed right in front of her pushing her back. Riku lost her balance and caught her foot in a tree root that had protruded from the ground.
The boys were a little ways back talking about how it was going to be pretty tough to not make anyone suspicious of Dark in school. They heard a scream and quickly looked up to see Riku falling to the ground. They ran over to her as fast as they could and bent over to help her off the ground.
"No, no, it's o.k. I can get up on my own, I just tripped, how stupid of me, he he he," said Riku as she tried to get up on her own. As she was picking herself up off the ground, she felt a sharp pain shoot out of her ankle and travel up her whole leg. Dark saw the hint of pain on her face as she tried to stand and realized what Riku had also noticed. She had sprained her ankle.
"Daisuke, go ahead and get to school, I'll help Miss Riku get there-" started Dark before he was interrupted by Daisuke.
"It's alright, I can get her to school, you don't have to bother," said Daisuke, who was suspicious of Dark's sudden caring mood.
"Daisuke, seriously, if you don't hurry you're going to be late," Daisuke was starting to complain when it was his turn to be cut off, "Daisuke, go now. As your older brother I command you to!"
Daisuke was completely surprised about Dark's outburst. He must have really cared. So he guessed that Dark wouldn't do anything too stupid if he really did care. With that, Daisuke left to school.
Daisuke wasn't the only one who was surprised about Dark's outburst. Riku didn't even know what to say. Did this guy who looked so much like the Phantom Thief actually care about her? Well, he was pretty good looking, she wouldn't mind if- no! What was she saying? This guy is a complete flirt! She couldn't like someone like him? Could she?
Riku yelped as she felt herself being carried off the ground on strong arms. She didn't know what to say or do or even think.
"What are you doing!" Riku finally yelled. She started squirming to try to get away from him.
"Getting you to school," said Dark with a serious look on his face.
"You know what I mean, you aren't that stupid," said Riku, who was now pouting.
"You know very well that you can't walk, so I have to get you there. By the way, don't get red when we walk into the school, cuz if you do, you'll make it obvious," said Dark who had a smirk on his face. He really couldn't believe his luck. He was actually carrying the girl that he liked, and he wasn't turning into Daisuke!
"Make what obvious?" asked Riku who was curious to know what she was supposed to be blushing about. As they neared the school gates, they started getting a lot of stares from students who were entering the school. This was exactly the reason Riku was supposed to be blushing. All of the stares were from her classmates and friends. The questions that Riku kept on hearing were being repeated by everyone, they were "Who's that hot guy?" and "Isn't that Riku Harada? Are they together?"
The inevitable happened, and Riku started blushing. This was way too much attention for her, she wasn't used to it because her "cuter" sister was always taking the spotlight, and she was happy like that. But now that they had all of the attention, Riku didn't know what else to do but look down. Dark was a complete different story; he actually loved the attention that he was getting.
Riku lifted her gaze for one moment and quickly knew that it was a big mistake. She had made eye contact with her sister Risa! Now what was she going to tell her? How was she going to explain why a gothic looking guy who was about three years older was carrying her? Especially to her sister who was always ranting on about having the perfect guy?
Dark went through the school doors and then noticed that he had no idea where the nurse's office was.
"Where from here?" said Dark as he looked down towards Riku. He could tell that she had been blushing; he knew that she wasn't the type that was big with getting a lot of attention.
"Go down the hall, when you get to the end make a right. The office is the second door to the left," said Riku quietly. Her voice was just above a whisper. It was pretty hard to hear her. Dark followed her directions to the office and sat her down on one of the little beds. The nurse came in and started taking a look at Riku's ankle after Dark told her what had happened. The nurse gave Riku an ice pack and bandaged up her ankle.
"That was a very nice thing of you to do young man, I bet your girlfriend is really thankful," said the nurse who blinked at Riku.
"Oh! Him? No, no, no, he's not my boyfriend, he's just an acquaintance," said Riku who was feeling extremely nervous.
"Is this true young man?" said the nurse who was giving Riku a look of disbelief.
"Unfortunately, it is," said Dark who had a smirk spread across his face.
"Well young man, I hope that you don't plan on letting this lady go. She is a very good person and it's time that she should find a good-looking young man like you that would take care of her. This lady's sister is always stealing away the attention, it's her turn now," said the nurse who was talking seriously. During this conversation Riku had gone from being extremely nervous to turning crimson.
"Oh, I have no plans on letting her go, so don't worry," said Dark as he walked towards the door and exited the room, leaving a shocked Riku who couldn't even speak.
TombMistress: HAHAHAHAHA! I did it again! I really liked that last part. I don't even know how I thought about it. -- But anyways! Please review! Remember, I won't put up the next chapter if you don't. I hope you guys liked it.
Dark: Maybe they don't like the story, but I know for a fact that they love me! I mean, who could resist me?
TombMistress: Riku can, and maybe I won't have you end up with her in this story! So you better act good. Hey, there aren't a lot of guy with girl fics here! It drives me crazy! I soooo prefer a Dark/Riku and stuff like that than any slash. Yuck! Tell me what you guys think about that too, please!
Dark: Well, I'll see you guys on chapter three of Sorry Risa!
