KH meerkats: Thank you for the review! Did you know that Riku has really pretty handwriting?

Anyway… This chapter is dedicated to a very nice reviewer, and another friend, who wants Riku to wear leather pants… Enjoy!

Chapter 2:, Life, and Bonnie Pink, plus Ice-Cream…

"So then, this is, Riku?" it was the same lady that had called them to eat lunch.

Selma just sighed as she was being pestered by her older sibling. Her name real name was Tachigami, but she liked being called Monica. She was two years older than Riku, and she had black shoulder lengthened hair. She wore a purple top, and some navy colored shorts.

"How long have you two known each other?" she asked, looking back at Selma.

"A couple of weeks."

"So then Riku, you're really close with my sister?"

They were at the table when she asked that question. Everyone who was there stopped what they were doing, somebody dropped a fork, which landed on someone's toe, and a lot of curse words were directed to the poor fork.

"Who in their right mind would wear leather pants?!" a young sibling shouted out.

"My friend…" Selma tried to defend her new friend. "This little one is Kazegami. The one yelling at the fork is Moegami, but we call him Moe."

Both of the two siblings had spiky orange and brown eyes, with light colored skin. They were twins, around the age of 15. They were a bit short, so they got mistaken a lot to be around 11 years old.

"Nice to meet you all," Riku bowed to people in front of him.

"You don't really have to bow." Another male said. He was a more masculine version of Monica. He went by the name of Yomigami, but he liked to be called Yuki. "It's nice to meet you, Riku." He shook his hand, "You can call me Yuki."

"It's about damn time, she's always talking about you." Someone said in back of Riku. Riku and Selma turned around, "The name's Geki," his full name was Gekigami. He was wearing a black long sleeved shirt, with some tight jeans, and he light brown skin as well as short black hair. Riku shook his hand, and nodded.

"How much do you talk about me?" Riku whispered to his friend.

"Not that much… Honest," she whispered back as they were going to the wooden table.

"Hey you two pick up pace, the foods going to get cold!" Monica instructed as she saw Geki finally sit down.

"Hey, wait, where's Mamì?"

"I'm coming hold on, just getting the salad."

"Hey is Dad coming today?"

"I think he's going to be late dears."

"Sweet hey the salad's here!"

"Monica, stop hogging the salad!"

Selma just smiled at the scene, and started to take a bite out of her salad. Riku was sitting right next to her, and he looked at his pants. He made this little face where he ended up scrunching his nose. She just shook her head, and smacked him gently over the head.

"There's nothing wrong with the pants, just eat your food Riku!" she whispered to him.

"…Ow…"

"Don't smack your guest dear, that's rude." Mrs. Hikari instructed her daughter.

"Sorry, Mamì…" she said and sunk into her chair.

Geki and Yuki were snickering at their little sister, but Monica gave them a glare. Other than that everyone was eating their food. The puppy was just sitting at the table waiting for someone to slip him some food, but Chico didn't like pasta.

Mrs. Hikari and her husband told their children at a very young age that the table was a place for someone to eat, not talk. It was very quiet at the table, and Riku felt a bit out of place, he was use to having people around him talk.

An hour past, and after playing rock, paper, scissors, Selma ended up having to wash the dishes. She smacked which ever sibling forgot to clean their plate, she loathed having to throw the leftovers in the trash.

Mrs. Hikari and the others went about their daily things, and Riku left Selma alone to go and get his notebook that he left sitting on the steps. Though when he finally made it out of the house, it wasn't there anymore, it was nowhere to be found. He heard a familiar dog growl beside him.

Riku looked down and noticed the dog had something in his mouth. 'That's MY notebook!' he thought to himself.

"Give it here, Chico…" he whispered trying not to make so much noise, but the dog moved farther and farther away from him. "Chico…" he said in a stern voice losing his patience with the animal. He started to chase the puppy around the yard within a matter of seconds.

Selma was almost done with the last plate when she heard someone yell. She quickly left the dish alone, and dried her hands with the blue towel, and slung it over her shoulder. She walked out down the hall, and went to see what was going on. There on the green grass was a guy with turquoise eyes just staring at the blue colored sky.

"Tell your dog to give me back my notebook…" he said whispering.

Selma just walked towards him, jumping off of the last step. She found her self being stabbed with Riku's gaze, but she just smiled. Riku sat up and frowned at her, he tried to call Chico again, but he ran into the house.

"He'll leave it back where he found it…" she said patting the teen's head.

"How can you be so calm about it?" he asked.

"Eh, you get use to it…" she said fiddling with the towel over her shoulder.

They went back inside the house, and Selma found the notebook not that far from the front door. She scanned through the black notebook to make sure none of the pages were bitten off, or eaten. She found nothing wrong with the book, and handed it back to the owner.

"The good thing is that nothing's missing from it… The bad thing is…" she paused for a moment, "you write like a girl."

"Like a girl?" he repeated, looking at his notebook.

"Yeah, you write more like a girl than I do, and I'm a girl."

"Girls wear leather pants!" someone said in the background.

"No one's talking to you, Geki!" the sister said coming to her friend's defense.

The teen entrusted his friend with his notebook, and it was her duty to keep it away from everyone, they were meant for her eyes only. Then after that, Riku decided it was best if they just went outside again, he felt a bit weird for wearing his leather pants now. Selma tried to tell him that there was nothing wrong with wearing them, but she had to go and say that they were a bit tight on him.

"Great…"

"Sorry… Just had to point it out…"

Riku just scratched his head and gave an embarrassing laugh. He went on to asking why none of her family members spoke during lunch.

"It's something my mom told us when we were little, that the table is a place to eat, and not talk…" she stated, "Also it's a place to do homework and stuff, but we do talk at the table almost often, you just caught us on one of our quiet days."

"Oh. Hey, where's your dad?"

"He's working, and he doesn't come until 5 or late at night. He works as a computer technician, but since that business is becoming more and more popular; almost anyone can start applying for the job."

"You're dad must make about a thousand, no?"

"No, when you subtract the social security and health stuff, and all the other things, he ends up with about 400 to 500 a week… Life isn't all it's cracked up to be…"

"What do you mean?"

"Everyday… You think something exciting is going to happen, but sometimes you're just stuck doing the same old thing… It gets kind of boring, but I mean to me, it just falls under a regular routine. I don't really have the best memory in the world, because I forget stuff really fast, it just doesn't interest me… It sounds so stupid…"

"Hey look do… do you sleep a lot for the remainder of the day?"

"No… Why?"

"Just don't do it, it's not the best thing to do."

"O…kay…" she looked at him with a strange look.

"You know, you know what I'm talking about it…"

"I'm just talking about life, but here you are saying something about sleeping…" she said.

"Selma…"

"I'm not depressed if that's what you're thinking," she put two and two together, "… Just because I can't remember a whole mess of stuff, it doesn't mean I'm depressed… Mostly I give you advice on stuff like that…"

"Just giving you some advice in return," he tried to finish his sentence.

"That's a lie, you think I am starting to get depressed…"

"No, no I'm just saying not to."

"Why are you telling me this, now?" she said sounding a bit annoyed now. She knew how to handle her emotions and what not, but he had no right in believing she was acting depressed.

"Because… because I've done that before. You hide yourself in this little hole, just watching as time passes you by, without caring what happens around you…"

"Does this look like the face of a depressed person?" her face was serious.

"…"

"I didn't think so, but thanks for the advice…" she stood up and dusted her shoulder. "Anyway, you want to go get some ice-cream?"

"Ice-cream?"

"Did I stutter…?" she said looking at him, putting on a funny face.

"Are you buying?"

"No…" she said in a serious tone, or at least it sounded like one.

"… Okay, that was sarcastically mean…" Riku said standing up.

Selma laughed, and told the silver haired teen to wait for her while she changed into some other clothes. She came out wearing a striped purple and black shirt, with some black jeans, and checkered shoes.

"All right then, let's go." She said taking his arm and pulling him forward.

"Hey! Are you trying to trip me?"

"I'd be lying if I said no!" she said starting to run away from him.

"You're such a girl!" Riku yelled running after his friend.

Inside the house Mrs. Hikari, Monica, and Yomigami were watching the two teens run down the street. The three of them were laughing a bit, and they were glad that Selma had someone with a good head on their shoulder for a friend.

"So you think she's told him her real name?" Monica said looking at her mother and oldest brother.

"Nope," Yomigami shook his head.

"Just give her some time, she'll get out of her shell." Their mother said. "Besides if anyone can get her to talk it's that Riku boy."

"Why?" Yomigami asked.

"Do you really have to ask?" Monica said looking at her brother.

"What are you talking about, Tachigami?" he addressed his sister.

"He's really good looking if you haven't noticed." Monica said.

"I was going to say something else dear…" Mrs. Hikari said holding the black notebook in her hands. "But I guess we can also say that."

"So then, what do we do now?" Monica said looking at the black notebook in her mother's grasp.

"Absolutely nothing, we'll let destiny lead them the way."

Monica was too busy to notice what her mother said, she was able to get the notebook that Riku had entrusted Selma to guard. She was flipping through the pages until a word caught her eye.

'Bonnie Pink – Last Kiss'

"Hey that's Amaterasu's favorite song." Monica said.

"Are the lyrics in there?" Yuki asked curiously.

"It says… 'Turn the page'." And she did what it said. "There's nothing…" she said a bit confused. "Naw, you know, I bet it's invisible ink…"

"He probably was looking for the English translation." Yuki said.

'It's bitter like beer for kids…'

"There you go…" Monica said holding the paper to some light.

At the ice-cream place not to far away…

Selma and Riku had stopped running, after Riku had tripped due to foul play with a towel. He accused his friend of cheating, and she didn't deny it. He had the blue towel over his head so he grabbed it, and he threw it back at her. She stumbled forward.

"Sore loser…" she said shaking her head a bit.

They entered the ice-cream shop, and decided to sit down in the corner of the area. Both of them were a bit tired from running, it that just made them want some ice-cream some more.

They finished purchasing their own cone of sea-salt ice-cream, and as Selma was paying another pair of people walked in. Riku turned around and his eyes went wide for a moment. Selma came from behind and handed him his cone. Though when she saw he wasn't taking it, she also looked in his direction.

"Hey that's the guy my dog peed on." She said licking her cone. She handed Riku his cone. "Here take it."

He took the cone and stared at it for a moment, "Thanks…"

"It's going to melt, come on let's go to the table."

Still the two people Riku saw had no idea that neither he nor Selma was there. They sat down and at that moment he heard a familiar voice. The two of them turned around, Riku sighed and Selma just shook her head.

"Riku, hey there you are. I was trying to call you, but you didn't pick up your cell phone…" Sora said sitting down right next to him.

"I left it at home…" Riku said trying to enjoy the ice-cream.

Kairi and Selma looked at each other and smiled, they remembered who the other was. Though Kairi never got a chance to ask her, her name, she thought it was the girl Riku talked about.

"So then, this is who you're with when you have things to do…" Sora said looking at Selma as she and Kairi were talking.

"This is Selma, the girl with the dog who peed on you." Riku said letting Sora get a good look at the girl.

"Wait the same one you talk about with us?"

"I don't talk that much about you… Honest…" Riku whispered to his new friend.

"Li…" she licked her ice-cream, "…ar…"

"Riku your ice-cream's melting…" Kairi said pointing to the light bluish stain on his white shirt.

"Hey what's with the leather pants?" Sora asked.

"Not that again…" Selma and Riku said groaning.
