Were we left off:
Taking a deep breathe Amaya started to speak, "You see that man was my uncle, and he killed my father, his brother."
And were she shall start:
Riku's eyes widened.
"Before I go any further...do you still want to know, your life could be in danger if Caw finds out I told you."
"Amaya, I want to know what your going through. I just met you today but it seems like you haven't really opened up to anyone in quiet a while." Riku said looking stubbornly at Amaya.
Amaya gave a small smile. "Your right, I haven't told my mom and back in America I had to grow apart from my friends to protect them. I've felt so alone since this all started."
"When did this all start?"
"About a year ago. . You see my dad's family's ancestors are said to be shapeshifters and the blood still runs through our veins. My dad had taught me the art since I was four and at the age of 13 I was a master. I only had one group of creatures I had yet to master and that was the mythical ones. My uncle wanted me to come live with him so he could teach me that group since he had mastered them."
"And that man was the one I just saw?"
"Yes, his names Caw. Anyway, Caw wanted me to come live with him but my dad refused. He said Caw was a bad blood, infact the whole family was bad blood which is why I wasn't going. So one night when my dad took me to a 9:00 movie a man came out from a alley way and put a gun to my head. My dad and another man started fighting, while the man with the gun pulled me into the alleyway and...tried to rape me. I fought back of course and was able to knock him unconscious, when I got out of the alleyway I saw my Uncle Caw over my dad with a knife. There was blood all over the sidewalk and my dad was bleeding from the chest. While my dad was knocked out Caw told me that he had put a bomb in my mom a week ago and that if I didn't do what he said he would kill her. He said I had to steal whatever he wanted for him, and take lessons on how to shape shift into mythical creatures. I wanted to say no so badly, but my dad was dieing and I didn't want to lose my mom. So I agreed and I've been stealing ever since."
"So, your that girl...Panther?" Riku asked her.
"Yep."
"and if you don't listen to Caw he'll kill you mom?"
"You got it."
"and you've kept this to yourself for a whole year?!?"
"Ah uh."
Amaya was expecting Riku to scream or runaway. Instead she went in to shock when Riku started laughing and gave her a death grip hug.
"You silly girl! You should of told someone sooner! Now way would I have been able to keep something like THAT to myself!
And you upstaged Dark! I'm soooo going to be there next time you steal! You've got to tell me when! Okay Amaya? Amaya?"
"Ri-ku...I...gasp!...can't b...br...breathe!!!" Amaya said as her face started to turn purple.
"OMG! Amaya! I'm sorry!" Riku said letting go of the gasping girl imediatlly.
"Thats okay...no harm done." Amaya said regaining her breathe with a smile.
"Amaya I have a question."
"Okay, shoot Riku."
"Why doesn't Caw steal himself."
"Because, I'm the only one in my family that has mastered all of the animals. In my family you can only shape shift into two kinds of animals. I can do them all and that hasn't been done in over 200 yrs. So Caw uses my skills to get into the museum without being noticed or undetected." Amaya explained.
"Okay...so...wanna get some Ice Cream?" Riku asked.
"At this time of night?" Amaya asked laughing.
"Its NEVER to late for Ice Cream." Riku said with the most serious expression she could give.
"Sure, I'll buy." Amaya said walking down the path.
When they got out of the woods they saw Daisuke grumbling to himself as he walked down the sidewalk.
"Daisuke!" Riku called after him running toward him.
When he turned Amaya caught a smirk that she reconized imeditally.
"Riku cover your ears and close your eyes." Amaya said walking up to the two.
Giving her a puzzeled look Riku did as she was told.
"What are you doing out?" Amaya hissed.
"You don't look to happy to see me." Dark said back.
"Of course I'm not! You jerk let Daisuke back out before he gets in trouble with Riku." Amaya hissed again trying to keep her voice down so Riku wouldn't hear the converstation going on.
"No. I like it out here the night air is really refreshing." He stretched still smirking.
Amaya sighed really annoyed with him now. "Riku...Riku,Riku,Riku-" Amaya was cut off by his hand again.
She bit it again.
"You know its not nice to bite people." Dark said shaking his hand as a little blood showed up on the skin.
"I don't count you as a person." Amaya shot back.
His eyes narrowed.
"Whats your problem with me?" He asked backing her into a corner.
"Your a self-egoed, spoiled brat!" She glared at him as he place his hands on ethier side of her head.
"And how the heck would you know? You don't even know me!!" He glared right back.
"How long has Daisuke been trying to take control now?" Amaya asked.
Dark looked surprised, "Since you and Riku came."
"And you havn't even let him out once. Your just ignoring him so you can stay out and enjoy the air! Its his body and his girlfriend and your not listening to him and his wishes."
"He gets this body all the time."
"Thats because its his B-O-D-Y!!! Your missing the whole point of this conversation!! Its his not yours!!"
"Amaya can I stop doing this now?" Riku asked from her postion on the sidewalk were the two had left her.
"Pretty soon Riku!" Amaya shouted enough for the girl to hear.
Turning back to Dark her eyes widened to she how close he was. Her back was totally against the walls of the building he had
backed her against and he was right infront of her closeing her in. If Riku saw this she would defiantly jump to conclusions.
(Remeber, Dark is in Daisuke's form.)
"Let me out." She said trying to get away.
"Not till you say please."
"I'm not saying please to someone like you."
"Then your not getting out."
"Yes I am." Amaya said as she jumped over him.
"Well now where did you learn to do that." Dark said turning and looking at the girl who was giving a glare that could of froze fire.
"My father taught me." She said her eyes letting some sadness into them, then they returned into the freezing glare. "But you need to let Daisuke out."
"No, I don't want to." Dark said as a smirk came across his face again.
"Daisuke's comeing out whither you like it or not. Riku,Riku,Riku,Riku,RikuRiku,Riku,Riku,Riku,RikuRiku,Riku,Riku,Riku,Riku."
"What Amaya?" Riku asked hearing her name so many times through her ears.
"You can look now. Right Daisuke?" Amaya said looking at him.
"Y...yea Amaya." Daisuke said looking dazed.
"Now lets go get that Ice Cream." Amaya said linking arms with Riku who linked arms with Daisuke.
"Are you going to buy for Daisuke to?" Riku asked looking at Amaya.
"Yep." Amaya said smiling at him.
He gave a weak smile back.
"So what were you to talking about?" Riku asked curious.
"If I could tell you do you think you would of been covering your ears and eyes the whole time?" Amaya asked.
Riku pretended to think for a moment then said, "Nope now tell me."
"Nope."
"Ah come on Amaya tell me!" Riku said.
"nnnoootttt tttteeelllliinnnggg!!!" Amaya said breaking free of Riku's arm and running ahead.
"Yes you are!" Riku said running after her while Amaya laughed still running.
In his mind Daisuke could feel Dark's eyes following Amaya.
"Dark?"
/Why does she hate me? Most girls fall over at the sight of me, and I was closer to her than I ever really get to most girls/
Dark asked.
"Maybe she looks on the inside and not out. Most of your fan girls fell for your looks." Daisuke answered.
/Yea well shes going to have to get use to me if she wants to be around you. And by the looks of things she does. But what I don't get is how you and Riku earned her trust so fast. She went from a frozen icecube to joking around like she is now./
"Well...she seemed kinda lonley when she came to school. I think all she wants are friends."
"Daisuke! Come on before she changes her mind!" Riku yelled as she tackled Amaya to the ground.
"Get off me!!" Amaya laughed and screamed at the same time.
"Not till you tell me!" Riku said sitting on her.
"Daisuke get your crazy girlfriend off me!!!"Amaya yelled as he walked up.
"Riku get off her." He said in that cute little embaressed way he does.
"Nope."
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you if you get off me." Amaya said.
Amaya caught Daisuke's worried look. She gave him a wink and saw relief flood his eyes. Puttting on her most serious expression she turned to Riku.
"You see Daisuke and I were talking about...MONKEYS!!!"
Riku and Daisuke gave her a O.o look.
"Yes. We were talking about monkeys and my secret obsession with them." Amaya said.
Daisuke tried to hold back his laughter as he saw Dark's expression.
/-.-' that girl is crazy./
"Yea, but she got Riku's mind off what we were talking about." Daisuke said.
/But you weren't talking./
"And whos fault was that?"
"ahhh that felt good. I havn't joked with someone like this in a year." Amaya said stretching.
After the Ice Cream the gang split up and went home. When she got home she saw her very angry mother sitting infront of the door.
"Were have you been?" She said in that deadly calm voice parents use when there angry and not yelling. (Creepy)
"Out."
"With who."
"Some new people I met at school today."
"You said it was for a walk."
"I met up with them and we went for Ice cream."
"Isn't it a little late for Ice cream?" Madie said now happy since her daughter was actually socializing.
"Mother...its never to late for Ice cream."
