Chapter 3
Riku went back to earth in meanwhile, but when he is back patricia isn't by the tree anymore, he looks around and then remembers patricia's favorite place. Patricia walks to her favorite place but when she comes there black creatures come out the shadow. 'w-w-what are those?' the shadows are coming closer. The begin attacking her, patricia tries to avoid them all, she tries to fight back. Riku hears someone fighting 'is that...patricia's voice? If they tried to take her again the they are so dead...' riku runs to the place he hears the fight. He sees patricia fighting against black creatures. 'shadow heartless? What are they doing here!' he says pretty suprised. riku runs forward patricia and protects her from their attacks. 'riku!' she shouts happy. 'the are with to much! Why are these attacking you!' he looks behind him and sees her bright blue scared eyes changing to bright blue angry eyes. Patricia comes from behind him and attacks them with more powerful moves. Riku is more suprised '(why are those moves remembering me at something...?)' he helps her by summoning his sword what he calls souleater and attacks them too. After a big fight they are gone. 'siriously why were those attacking you?' riku turns to patricia. She isn't answering back, she is only huffing and looking at her hands. Then she falls down to the ground. Riku runs to her and puts her on his back. He runs to the place where they slept for two days, he puts her against the tree. '(those eyes! Were the eyes of a person when i took sora's keyblade!)' he takes a better look at her. 'i will know who you are...only if you show more of yourself...' he stand up, opens a dark corridor and goes back to twilight town. 'we didn't eat for two days, she must be hungry after all that.' he goes to the shop district and walks to a food shop. 'what will it be?' a old woman asks him kindly. 'three biscuits.' he answers he short. 'alright.' she takes three biscuits and walks back to riku. 'here ya go, thats 300 munny.' the woman hands the biscuits to riku. Riku pays her, walks away a little and opens a new corridor. When he's back he sees that new heartless tries to attack the sleeping patricia. He summons his souleater and hit them away. When he finally defeated them he sits down forward patricia, she's still sleeping. He puts the biscuits forward her and takes one by himself. After some time patricia wakes up. '...don't say i fainted again...geez i'm weak...' she doesn't looks at him but just look at the ground, then she sees there are some biscuits forward her, riku doesn't answer on her comment. 'i bought some food...i thought you may be hungry after two days...' riku says. 'hehehe.' she's smirking and rubbing the back of her head. 'what are you smirking?' he asks her. 'hehe uhh...you know...i had sort of...made some biscuits before i met you and after that all i at them...hehehe.' she answers still smirking. 'sorry...' she stops smirking, riku faceslaps. 'just eat them...' he stand up and walks to the lake. Patricia a biscuit and takes a bite. 'thank you...' she says a little shy of awkward. 'patricia...can you tell me more about yourself?' he turns his head a little. Patricia chokes in her biscuit. 'why do you wanna know?' she turns a little red. 'i wanna find out why those heartless are attacking you.' he answers coldly. 'a-alright...' she's still red a little. 'uhmm...well you already know i'm 14 and my name is patricia...i'm born at 18 january, i have 4 little brothers and one big sister, my mum and my dad aren't together anymore, and i didn't saw my dad for 5 years and i see him since this summer...my mum is alone, my sister doesn't live with us anymore and...i am on the high school, i have actually not very much friends here in the town only on school. Most people run away for danger but i walk to it, and...my past...i actually dunno...i like fighting, drawing, singing, but i'm bad in singing so i never sing near others and...nothing more actually.' she tells. Riku isn't answering at all, he's quiet. 'kairi's birthday is on 18 january...' he mumbles. 'what did you said?' patricia takes the next biscuits and begins eating again. 'nothing, like i told i will train you each day in the evening.' he turns to patricia again. 'and since those heartless are after you i will protect you against them untill you can protect yourself and as return i want you to bring me food each day.' riku put out his hand. 'deal.' patricia shakes his hand. She is kindly smiling at him, he is drowning in her smile. 'riku? Whats wrong? Do i have something on my face?' she is rubbing on her face. Riku pulls her hand away, and sighs. 'no, i just found out, why those boys are attacking you.' he stands up. 'really? What is it?' she is watching him walking untill he stops, he is grinning. 'did someone ever told you how cute you are when you smile?' he walks away while leaving the blushing patricia alone. 'you're coming?' he asks her when she still is sitting there. 'y-yeah.' she stands up, she feels her shoulder hurt again. She follows him. 'where are we going?' she asks him after some minutes of walking and after she stopped blushing. 'can you show me the town?' he stops walking, patricia bumps into him. 's-sorry!' she jumps behind and blushes again. 'still afraid of me?' he is smirking. 'c-can i help it! You hurted me for two times! And...and! Y-y-you are a boy...' she can get out. Riku comes closer, patricia is looking at the ground, her heart is beating faster. He comes more closer and hugs her, he can feel her heart beating. 'l-let me go!' she shouts. 'not untill you calmed down.' he tells her. He is holding her for minutes, she tries to escape but he is stronger then she thought, finally she gives up and later she calms down. Now finally he let go of her, he can see her blushing but she doesn't look afraid anymore. 'i told you earlier, you don't have to be afraid of me...i'm not like those boys who tried to hurt you some days before.' riku is smiling in himself, he isn't noticing he's blushing too. '(yes...you are weak...but strong inside)' he walks futher. 'riku wait!' patricia stops him from walking. 'what?' riku turns to her again, she runs into his arms. 'w-what the hell are you doing?' riku is blushing, suprised and embaressed on same time. 'thank you...' she doesn't let go. Then riku sighs and slowly puts his hands around her. He looks down at her, her eyes are closed and she's smiling. '(why does she make me wanna kiss her...what the hell am i thinking?)' finally she let go, she's just blushing a little, riku is still embressed. 'okay now i show you the town.' she takes his hand and runs to the entrance of the forest. After showing the whole town they go back to the forest. 'it's getting late...' patricia's belly rumbles.
