HEARTLESS

Character Profile: Nigasa Riku

The one who bullied Namine

Who is Heartless?

Kairi…

"Can we be friends again?"

Sora…

"Don't you think she might be Heartless?"

Roxas…

"Don't trust Hayase."

"Damnit."

I don't know who to trust anymore…

"Get out of here!!!"

My ally…or my enemy anymore…

A student threw the broken Heartless toy at her.

"Leave now!!!" they all yelled and started throwing things at her. Books, pencils, especially toys.

Namine tried to block it all out. It's no use…they wouldn't listen…

The riot had stopped when a Black, or in Namine's eyes, Riku defended her.

"Hey guys, don't you think you're attacking the wrong person?" he said, again with the cocky smile.

"Nigasa-san!!!"

"It's not her who took these robots to school. But it's her fault. That's what Heartless would want you all to think!!!" he proclaimed.

"Ah…ano, Nigasa-san…why did you protect me?" simpleminded Namine asked. He smirked as he pinned her on the wall with one foot on her shoulder.

"Do not misinterpret me, newbie."

"You are important to me because you're Tsukamoto's weak point." He said.

"That's what Heartless is!!!" he said as he turned to the other students. Namine glared at him. "Who the hell do you think you are?!" she yelled as she kicked his…groin… and Riku fell back.

"What kind of girl are you?! I'll strip you naked and hang you on the roof!!!" he threatened, still in pain. Namine put her tongue out. "Shut up!!!"

"Not only had she done it once…but twice…" the White said, as the others looking at him in pain.

Riku shot them a glare. "WTF are you all looking at?!" he yelled like a monster as they all ran away from the Black Leader.

Namine found Kairi sitting on the ground with her things scattered. "Kairi!!!" she sat beside her. "Nami…"

"Nami, I'm sorry…"

"It's alright!!! I'm really okay with it," Namine assured.

"I should be the one to be careful…if you hang with us Grays, the other Whites might bully you…" said Namine.

"Nami…I'm pathetic…I want to wear my own clothes…"

"But I guess…I'm too scared…unlike you, you're just, sugoi!" she added.

"Don't worry about it, Kairi!!!"

"Iie!!! I feel like, I bother you…and get you into trouble…"

"No! I'm going to protect you, Kairi!!!"

PASSWORD ERROR!!!

Sora put a hand on his mouth. Who the hell changed the password?!

"My deceased mother told me…" He turned around to see Namine, finally coolheaded.

"When you're lost, close your eyes, and open your heart. For that way, I may find my real answers…and know…who the people…whom I should trust or not…"

Sora grinned.

"You're the first ever true friend I have in this school…I'm sorry, Sora…" she apologized.

"I wouldn't be here, without you and your help…you're here for me…" she added.

"So, for someone as stubborn as you, you can be a girl sometimes!!!" he cockily said.

She whacked him in the head. "Sora…I don't think…Kairi is Heartless…"

"I don't think, she could lie…" she added.

He sighed. "Okay then, if you believe so, and so do I!!!" Namine rolled her eyes. "Copycat."

"Anyway, what are you doing?"

"Trying to find who Heartless is…"

"OMFG you can do that?!" Namine shouted. "Hehe, well, I found one Heartless toy burning in flames." Said Sora.

"Whoever that guy is, such a real geek…"

"I think, Heartless would attack people whom you've talked to…Tsukamoto can be…"

And then, there's the famous Namine-has-sensed-something instinct.

"Kairi!!!" she quickly burst out from the Computer Room and went out to look for Kairi.

She found two toys in flames coming out from the girls' restroom. Without hesitation, she burst inside and saw the open cubicle.

There she was, lying on the floor unconscious, with several burning toys walking around.

Sora soon had reached up.

"Jeez, Heartless is mad…this is awful!" he said, as he saw numerous toys lying around, and some, walking.

"Na—OMFG." Sora rushed up to Kairi and knelt down beside her and held her by the shoulders. She got a few burns in the legs and her face. He patted her cheek gently and then wept away the ashes.

"Kairi-chin!!! Wake up!!!" Once her eyes were open, she put her hands to cover her mouth and started to tremble in horror. "Kairi, it's alright now!!!" Sora tried to comfort her.

"Namine, help me!!!" but when Sora turned around, she wasn't there. Sora carried Kairi to the nurse's office.

"Are you alright now?" he asked and sat beside her. She nodded.

"Do you know who did this to you?"

"I'm not sure…I was suddenly pushed to the cubicle."

"When I got there, the little robots started to scratch me, and some tried to burn me…and then I fainted…" she continued.

"Heartless really must hate Namine…and Heartless is…really hardworking to create those stupid machines…" said Sora, with arms folded.

"I'm not sure, Sora…but I think…Heartless is a girl."

"There have been a lot of reports and extortion towards us Whites. The Blacks are getting cockier than ever," said Hayner.

"The teacher who handles our class said it was between students. We should handle it ourselves. This is your fault, Tsukamoto." He ended, glaring at the president. But he seemed didn't even give a damn.

"All Tsukamoto-kun did was to defend that transfer student. He did nothing wrong." Olette defended. Hayner rolled his eyes and got annoyed. Bitch.

"I think it's fairly the complainers' problems who does nothing but to vent and sit around is as much as their fault." Olette said matter-of-factly.

Annoying people…Roxas thought.

"SHOW YOURSELF, HEARTLESS!!!" someone suddenly yelled, surprising the two Whites.

"What the heck was that?!" Hayner said as they looked at the radio-like box.

"YOU COWARD!!!"

"It's Nami!!!" said Sora and Kairi in unison.

"I CHALLENGE YOU FOR A FIGHT!!!"

"That monkey…" muttered Riku.

"The transfer student must've went in the broadcast room!!!"

"What the heck does that transfer student think is doing?!" Hayner complained. Baka. Roxas thought as he looked at Hayner, and got up from his seat.

"Tsukamoto!!! Don't go!!!" Olette said as she put a hand on her arm. "It will just affect you and so as the student body!!!"

He coldly gazed at her and shoved his arm from her touch. "Don't touch me!" and he got out of the room. Olette faced the wall. He touched her before. She thought. He touched her. She pined her French nails on the wall hard, making some scratch marks and ruining her perfect manicure. "You're throwing away your pride!!!"

"Please! Open up the door!!!" cried the teacher as he knocked on the broadcast room. And of course it opened, but it revealed Namine with a baseball bat on her hand.

"Which of you dorks is Heartless?!" she demanded, scaring off the faculty.

"She's crazy!!!"

"Reveal yourself!!!" she cried as she swung her bat.

"Please!!! Be calm!!!" the teacher cried.

"Stop acting like a teacher!!! HEARTLESS!!!" she again swung her bat.

"If you think you're not going to get punished for this—"

"Hell I don't give a damn!!!"

Sooner, Sora and Kairi arrived at the scene.

"Nami!!! You're gonna get expelled!!!" cried Kairi.

What Namine stopped her was…

PUNCH!

Namine covered her nose and glared at Roxas. "Calm down." He said quietly and turned to the teachers. "I'll take responsibility for this."

"B-but…"

"Go back to the faculty room," he commanded and, the teachers didn't hesitate. Namine looked at Roxas. "You are unbelievable!!! How dare you to punch a girl!!! I won't let you get in my way!!!" Before she could counterattack, Roxas put her hand on her head and pinned her to the wall.

"I said to calm down." She went quiet. And so did the environment.

"What happened? Tell me."

And later on, he felt her tears.

"I…I could not protect her…" he then removed her hand and unknowingly, she grabbed his shirt and pulled it on her face.

"I promised Kairi…to protect her…but I could not protect Kairi…" she mumbled. Roxas awkwardly patted her head. This is embarrassing…

"Please don't rub your nose on other people's clothes." He whispered.

"Nami…" Kairi was also about to cry.

"Why? Are you going to cry as well? Woah…this turned out to be a sad soap opera…" said Sora in disbelief. "But then…no matter how much she gets hurt…she doesn't cry…until now…"

"Oooh…she's crying…" suddenly came an arrogant voice which everyone knows where it belongs to. Riku was standing there with arms folded, and another cocky grin everyone hates, or every girl just love.

"Have pity on her, Tsukamoto? Why don't you tell her who Heartless is…" Namine alerted as she pulled from Roxas and rubbed her eyes.

"You know who Heartless is!!! Right?"

Riku grinned. "Takaishi Namine…"

"Heartless doesn't like you,"

"But sure loves you, Tsukamoto."

Wahh…who Heartless is? All got tangled?

I'll update soon. Since when did I ever updated so late?!
