Wolf's Cry Chapter 4:
Disclaimer: I don't own.
Riku absolutely looked like the living dead. Suddenly the term "Eat
something." came to mind. Those words had come up a lot when he was
still living with his parents a few years back.
That was when he starved himself. Not sounding like a whiny teenage girl,
but Riku hated how he looked. His silver hair was extremly out of place and
aqua marine eyes weren't very common either on Destiny Islands. He mostly
starved himself out of depression more than appearance.
Riku was pretty much a total freak and had no friends. Until Sora came
along.
The boy had come up to Riku on the first day of his junior year. Riku
was a sophmore.
Sora had just moved from another school on the island.
"Hi my name's Sora! What's your name?" the energetic boy asked. Riku raised
a silver eyebrow at the sudden attention from someone else besides his pack.
"You do know that you will be considered the lowest rank on the food chain
if you don't stop talking to me right now and call me a fag or something, right?" he said, adjusting the heavy back pack slung over one shoulder.
Sora looked strickin at his words.
"So you don't want to be friends?"
his voice wavering slightly. Looking up at Riku pitifully, tears beginning to form.
Riku realized they were more than likely making a scene so he quickly put his hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Please don't cry. Here I'll take you out for lunch today! That will be my apology and welcome to Destiny High treat okay?" he said brows furrowing together.
He really did want this boy to be his friend it's just he didn't want to give the kid a hard time.
The brunette immediately brightened at Riku's offer.
"Yeah! I'd love to, Riky!" he exclaimed, grabbing his hand and jumping up and down in excitement.
Riku scowled at the nick name and the childish junior tugging on his hand. But he let the boy have his fun. Because oddly enough, he just couldn't stand to see the boy cry.
"Come on, Sor-Sor, we have to get to class or we'll be late for our first day." he said giving the boy a small kind smile.
Sora's POV:
Sora wasn't even phased by the nickname. He was just happy he could have a friend here at his new school. Being emo all the time got annoying.
He felt relieved. He finally had a true friend that he hadn't had in a really long time. And this one even offered to take him out to lunch!
Sora sighed content right there on Riku's left arm walking to class. But then Riku's voice broke through the silence.
Riku's POV:
"Hey, Sora? What's your first class?" I asked looking down into dazed blue orbs.
"Uh I think Mr. Valentine?" he said slowly waking up again.
"Heh, old Vinny?" I said smirking. Sora smiled.
"Hey, Riku? I really like you," Sora sighed grabbing my arm again.
"I know. I really like you too, Sor." I whispered down at him.
He smiled peacefully closing his eyes as we walked down the hall.
Little did we know how fucked up both our lives were.
Riku was suddenly startled from his thoughts by loud banging coming from the door to his motel room.
"The maids are here! Get your lazy ass outta' bed so we can do our job, jackass!" the one banging on the door screeched.
"Shit!" he hissed, scrambling to his feet running into the room.
He crambed his belongings into his bag while some how pulling a shirt on in the process.
All the while the banging on the door seemed to get more annoying each time. Finally, he yanked the door open to see a woman and a girl standing out in the hall.
The woman had blonde hair slicked back with two antenna things standing up on her head.
The girl had short black hair and big blue eyes, painfully reminding him of Sora.
They both were wearing faded pink and white dresses that only the maids wore. The blonde's fist came down hard on his chest that was meant for the old weather beaten door. Seeing a body instead of the door she looked up. She smirked.
"Well then, it looks like sleeping beauty finally decided to get up!" she mocked, putting her hands on her hips.
Riku frowned not finding any of this amusing. "I'm gone so settle down lady." he grumbled pushing passed her. She turned around snorting.
"It's Larxene dipshit get it right! 'Cause when I get outta this crappy place I'm takin over the world bitch!" she cackled.
Riku took a step back getting freaked out even more. This Larxene chick was getting pretty creepy. He felt really bad for the small black haired girl that had to work with this nutcase.
"Come on Xion we gotta clean up this fucker's room!" she yelled pushing the cleaning cart through the door way and bumping the edge of it on the door frame causing a loud sharp noise to ring through the empty hallway.
Suddenly her head popped out of the room again. "By the way your shirt is on backwards dumbass." she cackled again diving back into the room.
Xion and I both flinched as we stood in the hall looking at where Larxene was just standing. "I'm really sorry you have to work with a freak like that." he muttered to the floor not caring about his shirt at the moment.
"She's mostly just a bitch sometimes. But I've gotten used to her." the girl giggled lightly. "Heh, yeah but I wouldn't try." he said turning away.
She suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Why do you keep turning away when I try to look at your eyes?" she asked.
"U-um uh..." he stuttered trying to find some convincing lie. She smiled.
"It's fine, you don't have to tell me." she said letting go of his arm and taking a step back.
"XION! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE RIGHT NOW AND STOP TALKING TO THAT DIPSHIT OF A MAN!" came the screeching voice again.
Another flinch and they said they're good byes.
"Bye Mr. come stay with us again!" she said waving.
Riku turned around. "It's Riku!" he yelled walking backwards waving to her.
"XION!" a crash was heard in the room. Her eyes widened as she ran into the room. "Larxene not again!" she whined loudly.
He laughed shaking his head at the trios antics. He was definantly coming back soon.
He finally turned around. But was met with a cold hard chest.
Who ever he bumped into was like a freaking brick wall. Because the next thing he knew he was flat on his ass, glaring up at the looming figure above him laughing hysterically.
He got up off the floor with every intention of pounding this guys face in. But when he saw the height difference he backed up a bit. The guy was like 8'5! So he decided on a threat instead.
"What the hell man watch where your fucking going!" he yelled picking his bag off the floor.
Slinging his bag over his shoulder Riku looked up, seeing who exactly he bumped into. The man had calmed down enough to give the silverette a sly smirk. "Like a fox." he thought slitting eyes, glaring up at a redhead with poison green eyes, heavily out lined in black eyeliner.
But the most shocking thing was without a doubt his hair and facial tattoos. Bright red hair spiked back in long sharp spikes, with black upside down tear-drop tattoos under his eyes.
Riku let his eyes travel down the red heads body. Black button down shirt with three buttons undone to show off his chest and collarbone. The tiny silver cross dangling from his neck glinted in the motel's flickering light.
The man shifted making his unbelievably tight leather pants groan in protest. "Look, babe, I can easily get us a room if you wanna stare at me all day." he said hooking a thumb on his studded belt.
Riku whipped his head back up looking at the man in disbelief.
"Did he really just say what I think he said?" Riku thought in shock.
"K I'll introduce myself first names Axel, babe, what 'bout you?"
He said gesturing to himself then to Riku. He quickly snapped out of his little trance pushing past Axel.
"I don't have time for pervs like you." he muttered, adjusting the heavy bag on his shoulder as he turned the corner leading to the crusty old elevator.
Pushing the button Riku tapped his foot, waiting on the ancient machine to chug it's way to his floor at the pace of a snail. But as he waited his foot tapping slowed. His eyes getting heavy. He felt exhausted all of a sudden, like he hadn't slept in decades.
His crossed arms fell limply to his side. Swaying back and forth Riku couldn't hold on anymore.
"What the hell?" he thought as his knees gave out beneath him. Lying on his side Riku couldn't fight anymore. He closed his eyes letting sleep take him.
"Nobody walks away from me babe." Riku could hear Axel chuckle as he fell into the darkness once again.
