Chapter three
"Give me the fucking money now or I'll shoot your god damn head off!" A man screamed at the cashier at gunpoint. The man looked about in his 20s wearing all black with a mask.
Everyone in the store was on the floor including Ritsu who was getting vegetables for her mother. When she left the house all she wondered was why her mother didn't go shopping beforehand, and now this maniac wanting money scared the crap out of her! At the moment all you heard were whimper of women, high school students crying, and the cashier reasoning with the robber at the counter.
Ritsu was not ready for this kind of situation and on instinct wanted to cry but held in the tears. Minutes past and the man is getting impatient. He was now yelling, "Why the hell are you taking so long damn it"
"P-please calm down I have it all right h-here", the cashier answered trembling. Slowly the cashier was about to give the money when….
Ring…Ring…Ring,
Bad luck or faint it was Ritsu's phone it was her mother calling.
Bad timing mom! She thought. She ignored it so the phone kept ringing.
The noise caused the robber to walk around trying to find the source of noise. He found the source and headed towards, Ritsu pointing the gun at her and stated, "You called the cops! You little bitch," he said in a menacing voice.
Before Ritsu could answer the man, he grabbed her and pointed the gun at her chest. Ritsu let some tears spill but not crying yet, I-I'm sorry o-ok it was just my m-mom"
The man laughed "oh sure do you believe that everyone" he looked around. Everyone in the store looked at the floor or didn't respond. They looked at Ritsu with a sad expression.
Ritsu's mind was racing about 200% and was ready to run, but a girl with brown curly hair stood up. Ritsu had never seen this girl before and mentally thanked for the seconds that came with the distraction.
The brown-haired girl spoke up shivering and a few tears rolling down her cheeks "s-she's telling the truth p-please p-put the gun down. With a fake smile confirming it was true which it wasn't.
The man yelled "Shut up!" and pointed the gun at the girl and was about to pull the trigger.
Ritsu doesn't want to be 'hero', but this girl was risking her life for her and she wouldn't live it down if the girl died. If the whole scene was in slow-motion she pushed the man on his sided and made him fall to the ground.
A shot rang through the store, people scattered and ran in different directions in the store and some managed to escape and call the police.
…
More yelling and the girl hid herself behind the shelf.
The man turned around and looked for Ritsu; Ritsu was running towards the door that was about 5 feet away. She reached the door and tried to open it. The minute she put her hand on the knob she heard another shot fired and her chest felt a painful, powerful piercing.
Ritsu is shot from behind and fell down. Face first on the ground; blood was beginning to flow dramatically fast with no sign of stopping. Her vision was getting blurry and her breathing was decreasing.
Seconds later her vision darkened and the voices in the background were fading.
… Moments later, "Oh my god!"
"Call an ambulance fast"
"Hurry up"
"Is she dead!"
"Miss, please wake up"
… Sirens were heard in the distance.
AHH!
Riku screamed and sat up in his bed, sweating profusely. "Was that a nightmare or a Flash back" he started feeling at his chest for the wound he thought he had. (Which he did in his before life)
*sigh*
"Wait that girl looked like Ichigo, was that her?"
Knock …knock!
Someone was knocking at the door and made riku jump. He heard a clam and serious voice speak through the door which Riku didn't recognize. "Open up Riku" a girl no other than Ichigo said with a sad tone. Riku got up and opened the door forgetting to put a shirt on. "I'm comin'" he opened the door to see Ichigo dressed in black clothing with a sad expression on her face.
"Ichigo are you ok" he asked concerned.
"Umm…put a shirt on please" the sad girl whispered looking the other way.
"I came here to ask you, if you could go to a funeral with me"
Riku grabbed a t-shirt on the floor and put it on quickly returning to Ichigo. The girl seated herself on the couch waiting for him.
Riku gulped at the request and had a bad feeling about this funeral.
"Ok ill go with you" he said and smiled.
"Can I ask whose funeral?"
"Umm… do remember the accident a few days ago before I met you?"
"Yea"
"Well… I was there at the store robbery and a girl died"
The moment Riku heard this he's shocked and his heart was beating fast even skipping beats. "the girl in my dream was really you!?"
He snapped out of his thoughts when a glowing orb flew towards him and spoke.
"Hey!" the glowing orb said in a childlike voice.
"Ricchan is that you!?" Riku said out loud.
"W-Who" the girl beside him asked, with a concerned all over her face with the name.
Ritsu looked at her with a strange look and remembered he could only see and hear Ricchan.
"Oh, sorry continue"
The girl glared at him and continued "Right well the girl's name is Ritsu Tainaka and her family and friends invited me to go and, offered to help me after they found out I lived with no family " the girl explained in a sad tone.
Riku automatically hugged the girl and whispered to her "I will always be with you when you need me"
Ichigo sobbed quietly and said between sobs "Thank…you…so…m-much" she whimpered softly.
Riku heard Ricchan trying to get his attention but he kept ignoring the chibi angel. After a few minutes they released each other and Riku spoke up "let me get dressed, so we could go and leave before traffic" he said and went to his room to get dressed, leaving the girl in the living room.
"I'll be seeing my family and light music club there" Riku spoke out loud to himself.
"Are you ready for that" the angel said hoping on Riku's head.
"Oh, it's you and no I'm not ready" he spoke sadly.
"It's time for me to see them after what happened right? What if they recognize me I'm not ready to tell them!
