Chapter 11

At that moment, Risa felt like she had every reason in the world to be frightened. The one she loved and cared about just went homicidal on her friend. Slowly, she began to back away from Satoshi.

"Risa," Satoshi said softly. He stood up and reached for her but Risa kept walking backwards. "I can explain..."

"H-How?" said Risa. Satoshi opened his mouth to talk but Risa accidentally hit the wall. She shouted, fear filling her eyes.

"Why are you acting like this?" Satoshi asked as he closed in on Risa. His arms were on each side of her.

"You p-pushed Dai off a building and had an h-horrible grin on your face."

Satoshi was staring at his feet. "I don't know what happened. I blanked out until I saw Daisuke falling." Risa nodded and lifted his head.

"You should see a doctor." she chuckled. Satoshi agreed looking up into Risa's eyes. There was a calm mix of happiness and relief in them. Risa could have sworn she saw a flash of gold streak through his eyes.

"No, I'm fine, I swear." Satoshi told Risa.

This is it. Risa said. She felt as if time had stopped then and there. She bent in close to Satoshi. As he got closer, she saw surprise on Satoshi's face. She froze in place, sighing. "I'm sorry."

"No, you just surprised me." Satoshi softly said. Before she could change her mind, she placed her lips on his.

Risa couldn't tell how long they sat there, embracing each other but she knew it was too short. Soon. She heard murmurs of other students and saw them standing around her.

Satoshi backed away from her. Risa reached out her hand but she knew he wouldn't come back now. She stood up straight and followed him. "It's almost time for class, come on." Satoshi softly told her. She nodded and hung her head.

Risa, could you be any more retarded? Risa asked herself.

Through out class, she kept looking at Satoshi, admiring his blue hair, his crystal eyes, his perfect figure and began to regret all of it. He hates me now. But I wouldn't blame him, I embarrassed him... Looking up from her desk, everyone was staring at her. "Uh, what?"

"Miss Harada! Stop zoning out during class and read the excerpt from page 14." her teacher growled at her.

"Why don't you do it yourself, you can read." Risa mumbled under her breath.

"What was that, young lady?"

"Nothing!" she exclaimed and began to read the page. While she read, she peeked up a few times to see Satoshi giving her a soft smile. Risa bit her lip and tried to continue but she felt as though Satoshi was still looking at her.

As she got to the last paragraph, she saw Satoshi push his hair away from his face. Suddenly, she couldn't concentrate. "While she walked up to-to the la-la..." Risa paused and looked at her book closer but everything was becoming blurry. W-what's going on...? She blinked and heard something fall on her book. Looking down, there was a large wet spot over the sentence she was reading.

"Miss Harada, please continue." Her teacher told her, standing over Risa. Risa looked up to see a rather surprised look on her teacher's face. "Is there something wrong?" The teacher bent down, staring at Risa's face.

"No, it's-" She took a quick glance at Satoshi. He was shifting around in his seat like something was bothering him. "Actually, I'm not feeling to well. Is it ok if I visit the nurse's office?"

"Go ahead. Niwa, continue from where Harada left off." Risa heard the teacher say as she shut the door and walked down the hall.

What's wrong with you Risa? You're falling apart, you know that? She said to herself, more tears were gathering up. Risa looked around the hall but no one was around. She held out her hands and stared at them. Why? Why is today being so weird? First, I thought everything would be fine. Me and Satoshi were on the balcony, I was happy...Satoshi was happy. Her thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of tears on her hand.

After she wiped her hands on her skirt, she kept thinking back. But then everything began to fall down. Satoshi had to leave my house early, he was acting mean and cold before lunch and now he seems disappointed.

Are you sure it's just not you who's disappointed?

What? Risa had froze in place and looked around. "Who said that?"

"Ah, Miss Harada, your teacher told me you were coming." Looking up, it appeared that Risa stopping in front of the nurses office. "Come on in." Risa nodded her head and stepped in the office. The nurse directed her to sit in a chair. "Now," she pulled out a clipboard and examined Risa. "Tell me what hurts or how you're feeling."

Risa knew that she wasn't sick but she had to come up with something. "Well, I have a headache and my stomach hurts." She pointed to her head, and then bent over, grabbing her stomach. "And it really hurts." Risa looked up with teary eyes.

The nurse nodded. "Well stay in here until school is over and then you can go home, alright?" Agreeing, Risa laid down. As soon as the nurse left the room, she smiled.

"Don't underestimate my acting." she laughed. After a few minutes, she realized that nothing fun was going to happen and relaxed. "Hey," she shrugged. "If I get a chance to sleep in school, why don't I take advantage of it?" And with that, as Risa closed her eyes, everything around her, the light, the sound, the movement disappeared into darkness.

Time passed and Risa saw nothing but darkness. She heard doors open and closed and woke up a few times. All she was hearing was sounds coming from the room. Risa didn't really care too much and fell back asleep.

She didn't know how long it was until she heard the voices of Satoshi, Daisuke and Riku in her head. They were fighting over something but finally Satoshi said, "I'll watch her for a bit, then Daisuke can come, alright?"

Am I sleeping? She asked herself. But then she saw someone in the distance of the darkness. It was Satoshi. She immediately stood up and ran to him. While she was running, Risa noticed they were both wearing long, white cloaks. It basically looked like they wrapped giant white blankets around themselves, she thought.

Risa finally got to Satoshi and hugged him tightly. She told him "I missed you." but heard no sound come from her mouth. He looked down at her with a smile. Risa, at that moment, noticed how much taller he was than her. She laughed and hugged him tighter. As she kept trying to say things, Satoshi kept shaking his head.

"Why are you shaking you head?" she mouthed. But Satoshi began to walk away. "WAIT!" Risa tried to shout. Satoshi looked over his shoulder, smirked and continue to move away from Risa.

Once again, she was in darkness. "Risa, I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to last." Satoshi voice filled her head.

Wha-What is he talking about?

"They're getting angrier with Dai, there's been a few close calls." his voice ran with sadness. "His agreement, that he wouldn't touch you or me as long as I protected the artwork is soon going to become invalid. I don't know if I can still be with you after that."

Satoshi...Risa craved to just jump up and hug him tightly. She just wanted to tell him everything was ok but she couldn't. Plus, she didn't even know what he was talking about.

"So, maybe I should just start now. But before I do, I love you Risa." then, there was silence again.

"NO! Satoshi wait!" Risa shot up, looking around the room.

"Satoshi? He left about twenty minutes ago." Daisuke looked up from the newspaper he was reading and smiled at her. "But what do you need? I can go get him."

"It's nothing." she pushed away the blankets and sat up. Risa stared at Daisuke and felt her heart skip a beat. "Daisuke! Um...could I talk to you?"

"Well, sure. What's it about?" He put down everything and put his full attention on Risa. She was amazed at this.

"Now, don't take this the wrong way!" she flailed her arms wildly. "Well...you used to like me, didn't you?"

"Yeah," Daisuke scratched his head. "But, you do understand I'm your sister's boyfriend, right?"

"OF COURSE!" she accidentally shouted. "But, so you kinda know what this is like. Why would you say that you love someone so much but then just leave them?"

Daisuke was still scratching his head, laughing and blushing. He was a bit embarrassed. "Because, silly, they want to protect you. They want to make sure you are happy, even if something happens to them."

"But how could you make someone happy if you're not there?" Risa was now standing. Daisuke stood up along with her.

He bent down, grabbed his newspaper and began walking away. "Because us, guys, think it helps." he laughed before leaving.

At the end of the day, Risa and Riku walked home together. "Mom and Dad sure do seem glad they're getting to stay here. That's great, don't you think, Risa?"

But Risa was staring up at the sky. "Huh?"

"I said, aren't you happy mom and dad are home?" Risa nodded and continued to watch the sky as if it was trying to tell her something. "And then, I heard there's going to be a big surprise tonight at the dance."

"Huh?"

"Satoshi just got ran over."

"WHAT?" Risa jumped, searching everywhere. "He couldn't-"

"He didn't...I just had to get your attention somehow." Riku crossed her arms and walked faster.

"Yeah, yeah. But I'm a bit tired, alright?"

"You slept for two hours in school, how can you be tired?" Riku was now walking backwards, watching her sister.

"Because I am, now turn around and walk right; it's bugging me." growled Risa.

"So," Riku was now holding her hands behind her back, kicking a rock down the street. "Are you going to the dance?"

She shook her head. "No, Daisuke said that Satoshi couldn't go." Risa stated.

"Well, you could still come with-" but Riku paused when Risa gave her the look-of-death that said "don't be so stupid." "Never mind...but I heard there's a documentary on Dark tonight on the history channel."

"Really? I never imagined that they would make one of those." laughed Risa.

"I know," her sister joined. "I guess Aztec history; the Titanic and World War II are just getting too boring for them."

"Risa! We'll be gone until tomorrow, alright?" Her mom shouted to her. Risa was up in her room, watching TV.

"Ok mom!" Risa heard the door shut and took a deep breath. Nothing like being alone, she thought. She picked up the remote and began to flip through the channels. "Let's see what they got," she pressed the channel + button. "Soaps, boring. Next." Risa turned the channel. "I know the weather's going to be nice tomorrow, next. What the hell are Dragon Tales? Next. Oh, a rice cooker, we could use a new one...oh! and it's only $29.99!" she smiled.

((I know they use yen there but I don't know yen XD))

"Alright, next. Comedians are funny, but I'm not in the mood. Boxers need to kill themselves...Hey! It's the Dark documentary." Risa laughed as they said how old he was. But then, they mentioned about how often he stole works from a group with the name, Hikari. "Hikari?" Risa thought back and for some reason Satoshi came into mind. "EH? Sat-Satoshi? Why am I thinking of him? His last name is Hiwatari."

She quickly changed the channel and it was back to the weather channel.

"I'm so bored." she cried and stood up. Risa paced around her room. There was nothing to do; everyone was gone out of the house. Since she was at a last resort, Risa began to clean up her room. She lined up all her makeup and hair products.

Next, she walked over by her bed. Risa still hadn't made her bed so she grabbed the blanket and straightened it up. She went to fluff the pillows but noticed the one that Satoshi slept on. "What did he mean by, he wasn't sure if he could still be with me after "that"? Is he moving away? Is his dad going to ground him if he fails a test?" But Risa found herself laughing, even though inside she felt sad. "Satoshi," she pressed the pillow close to her chest, like a small child and their stuffed animal.

Then, a sound came from the balcony. What was that? Risa dropped the pillow and dragged her feet to the curtains. "I hope no one's out there...and I hope it's not a ghost." The idea of a ghost being of her balcony made her jump. Carefully, she opened the curtains and stepped out on her balcony.

"Good, there's no one out here." Giggling, she stepped by the rail and leaned on it. Looking out, there was the ocean softly flowing and a half moon was high in the sky. There were no clouds in the sky, it was so relaxing." And I only thought weird things happened on a full moon." Once again, she looked up and gasped.

She thought that she saw a bird but she knew it couldn't be a bird. Maybe something that's like a bird, kind of like an...angel. "Am I seeing things?" Risa asked herself, wiping her eyes. Looking again, it was still there. She could see gold on it's clothes and long, blonde hair.

"I wonder if I can speak to it..." Risa began to wave frantically. She shouted for it's attention but it wouldn't come by. "Hey!" continuing to wave her hands, Risa leaned on the railing.

But in the blink of an eye, suddenly, the railing broke off and Risa began to fall. As quickly as she could, she grabbed on to the floor of her balcony to hold on. Risa became very scared when she heard the metal hit the rocks and fall in the water.

Risa was beginning to lose her grip. She tried to grab the concrete with her other hand but she couldn't reach. Risa tried again, she winged her arm up but her hand just grazed the floor and she lost her grip. Risa screamed as she fell but closed her eyes. It felt like forever as she fell but she didn't want to know how long she had until she hit the rocks.

She waited, and waited but it never came. "What the..." Risa opened her eyes to see she was staring into something white and gold. She looked up and saw the boy from once before, the one with the long blonde hair and the hair covering up half his face. He had a sad look on his face. But he was different this time. Never before had he had wings.

"You really need to start watching out for yourself." he said calmly, a soft smile was on his face now.

"I-I'm so sorry." Risa wrapped her arms around him. "I didn't mean to worry you and I-" she stopped and looked up at him, his gold eye was shinning. "You saved me again."

"Now, now, it doesn't matter. I just...don't want to see you hurt." he flew up to the balcony. Once they were there, he carefully placed Risa on it. The boy began to fly away when Risa shouted, "Stop!" He turned around, saying, "What is it?"

"You saved me in more way than one." she said, smiling at him.

"How's that?"

"Well, besides the almost-dying-thing, I was lonely and you came and visited me. How could I thank you?" Tears were flowing smoothly down her face.

"I told you, it's fine." he said, turning around once again to leave.

"Wait...can you stay with me for just a little longer?"

He stopped in the air, looked over his shoulder, sighed and nodded. Flying back to the balcony, Risa felt her heart beating happily. "Would you like something to drink? Coffee? Tea? Water?"

"Nothing, but thank you." the boy said.

There was a long moment of silence, and then Risa asked, "How come you have your hair covering you eye?"

"I-um-it's just the way I like to wear it." he said, at first it seemed that he was panicking.

But Risa knew that wasn't true. Before, when she went to move it, he stopped her but she wasn't going to fight with him.

More silence. This is kind of weird... Risa thought. We barely know each other. She found herself laughing. Looking over at the blonde, he was staring awkwardly but she didn't mind. "You know, you're really cute for an angel." Risa could have sworn she saw the boy jump a few feet in the air and giggled. "You know...you're kind of like my guardian angel. You keep saving me..." Risa laughed and leaned against his shoulder. He still looked a little taken back but he was calming down. "Hey...can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, what?"

"Earlier, I'm not sure if it was a dream or not, but this guy I really, really like said something about not knowing how long he can still be with me. My other friend said that he's just trying to protect me and make me happy. But how can he protect me and make me happy if he isn't here? What if he's the thing that makes me happy?"

Even more silence. The boy didn't say anything for a few minutes until he looked up at Risa, his golden eye was watery. "Maybe he didn't think about it that way. He...probably didn't know."

Risa began to laugh. "I guess I should have told him." He agreed, and wiped his eye while Risa wasn't looking. Then, the blonde boy stood up straight.

"I need to go. I have sc-business tomorrow." he said. Risa followed him.

"Be careful, alright?" Even though she was smiling, he could see the sadness on her face. The blonde nodded his head, bent down and placed his hand on her cheek. Risa was awed. At first, the boy hesitated but then he bent down and kissed her on the cheek.

He walked to the edge of the balcony and spread his wings. Right before he jumped to fly, there was a gust of wind. Unexpectedly, his hair blew away from his face and Risa saw it, his other eye was blue. It was the exact same color, shape and had the exact same expression as...Satoshi?

Finally, he pushed off and went to fly off. But Risa quickly ran off and jumped for him. She caught him and held on tight. "Wh-what are you doing?" he asked.

"It's you, isn't it?" Risa cried, tears were falling on the boy's clothes. "It's Satoshi."

His eyes widened, a scared look was splattered across his face. "No, I'm-"

"I know it's you." she hugged him tightly. "Everything makes sense. You act like him, you're kind, have that same expression, you're handsome, and you have his face."

But when she looked up at his face, there was a completely different expression. It was the other one from before. It was as if there were two sides to her guardian angel, a kind side and a mean side. And now, the mean side was showing.

"You must have me confused for someone else." he said, as cold as ice. Another soft gust of wind came and his eye that was covered up was the same as the other, gold and cat-like. The boy flew her back to her room and without saying another good-bye, he flew off.

Risa was shocked. She didn't understand what happened. He seemed like Satoshi, but he wasn't. The room around her began to tip and swirl before her eyes. Risa found her way to her bed and sat down, her head was in her hands. My guardian angel...

Is Satoshi. You're guardian angel is maybe "another" Satoshi, think. Hiwatari and Hikari.

What? Risa looked up. That voice kept popping up and she didn't know what it was. But that made sense, Hiwatari and Hikari. Satoshi was adopted. There's defiantly something going on.
