Ed It Out

(OOC: Seriously...Riku needs to get less sleep XD)
"No Riku, I'm not stupid." Kairi says, grabbing onto his arm again. "Sora, I'll be back soon, and we'll finish job hunting. I'll talk to you later!" She says, waving at him, and dragging Riku off.

 

Riku knows that he cant talk Kairi out of anything. so he jes lets her drag him off. if you think im gonna crack, Kairi, youre wrong.

 

"All right Riku, out with it, what's wrong." Kairi said, jumping behind a building with Riku. "You're not telling me something, and I'm fairly certain I know what it is." She said, looking down at the ground.

 

"if you know what it is, why bother asking me?" im such a jerk. but i guess it doesnt matter anymore...Kairi and Sora are meant to be...end of story. Riku again refuses to look at Kairi

 

"Riku...would you just look at me?" Kairi said, grabbing the sides of his face and turning his head. "I don't care what I think I know, I want to hear it from you. We've been best friends since before I can even remember. For a long time, you were nicer to me than Sora, if you forgot." Kairi tried to look him in the eyes.

 

Riku cant help looking hurt with his eyes. "Kairi...i..." no, i cant tell her. im not meant to be with her. but i jes want to scream it... Riku pulls Kairis hands down but continues to hold them. "its complicated. im not sure if my feelings are even significant..." he tries to say more but cant find the words.

OOC: man, im having a tough time with this. youd think itd be easy to make Riku all serious and caring.

 

(OOC: Riku always felt to me like he would be the one who would have trouble making his feelings known, so I'd say your doing a pretty damn good job >.o)
"Riku, don't hide this. If you don't say what your feeling, you'll always regret it. Feelings are never insignificant. You've seen how strong the heart can be. Talk from your heart, Riku..." Kairi said, forgetting Riku was holding her hands.

 

OOC: thanks :)

but what happens when your heart is telling you two different things? "Kairi, ill always be there to protect you. you know that, right? its jes... spit it out! ...i wish...i could be more than jes your protector. i wish i could... (OOC in between: aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!! he wont say it!) but...Sora..." Rikus sentence trails off and he lowers his head.

 

OOC: Gah! Now I feel really bad for Riku O.O)
"Riku..." Kairi whispers, raising his head to look into his eyes. "Please just tell me. I just want to hear you say it. I need to know for sure." Kairi brought her face close to Riku's, putting her cheek up to his and hugging him.

 

OOC: yay! sympathy for the loner! XD

Riku lets the embrace linger then he holds Kairi at a distance (his arms are outstretched, holding her shoulders, and hes looking her straight in the eyes). then he says in a low and sincere tone, "i love you Kairi. everytime im around you...it jes feels right. but i know you belong with Sora. your hearts are linked by an unbreakable chain." Riku lowers his arms and stiffens. "my heart is too dark and scarred to ever have that bond with you. im jes in the way." Riku turns away from Kairi to hide his shame and sorrow.

OOC: what the world? why did he jes give that speech? i dont think its really Riku. im so corny.

 

(OOC: That felt like Riku to me :P And corny? that was good XD)
"Riku..."Kairi said, pressing up against him, her arms on his shoulder and her front facing his back, her face tilted sideways so she could press herself close. "Me and Sora are meant to be, and I feel horrible for leading you on. This is all my fault. I hurt you so much, and I can never forgive myself for that. Whether you want to believe me or not, I had and still do have feelings for you. Sora wasn't the only one I developed a bond with. You are my protector Riku, always have been. And for what its worth, I do love you, it just can never be the way I love Sora. Losing you would be worse than dying Riku, I don't want you to go away." Kairi said, beginning to cry.

 

Riku feels Kairi shaking from her sadness. i knew she would say that. but why do i still feel so crushed? "Kairi, forgive me..." Riku breaks away from Kairi and starts to walk away (in no particular direction) without looking back.

OOC: i liked your speech

 

"Riku!" Kairi calls as he walks away. "Please...don't walk away...please, Riku...I'm begging you..." Kairi began to sob as she spoke.

 

Sora walked in the mall asking in Sam Goody's was hiring. The managar replied yes and gave him applications and asked for two. Sora went to sit at the nearest table. "Riku's...... always been so self-centered nowadays........did I do something?" he wondered. He finished the application and gave it to the manager. "What day can you start?" the manager asked. "Anyday is fine..." Sora replied. "Well you could probably start tomorrow if that okay and your friend too" he replied. "Thanks so much" Sora said and with that Sora went back outside.

0oC: HEY!! TWIII!! I'm gonna do it XDDD BWAHAHAHA!!!!! i think...

 

Riku stops. youre an idiot Riku and you always will be. i should never have said anything. he says without turning around, "jes pretend this never happened, ok? Soras probably sore enough from me. and Kairi?" he turns his head slightly to face her and tries to give her another sincere smile (failing horribly). "dont feel bad. ive learned how to put my feelings aside. we'll jes be friends like we were before." he turns his face away and starts walking again. ill deal with this alone. no use hurting Kairi too.

 

Kairi runs forward and grabs onto Riku again. "Riku...please stop this...quit hurting yourself...I can't stand to watch you do this to yourself. It hurts so much to watch it Riku..."
(OOC: You serious Rufus? If you do...things is gonna be different...)

 

"i said jes forget it!" Riku raises his voice slightly and pulls away from Kairi quickly. he sees he has hurt Kairi and calms down. "ill be fine Kairi. trust me."

OOC: ??? secrets dont make friends :p

 

(OOC: We wouldn't want to ruin the surprise Rena...)
"Riku...I know your angry with me...but we've been back here for a long time...Sora is bound to be looking for us...I don't want things to stay this way. Can we please talk about this some more later?" Kairi said, as the two of them emerged from the alley. Before them lay the mall. All they had to do was cross the street. "Hey Riku, is that Sora?" Kairi said, trying to hide the fact she had been crying.

 

Looking across the street, Sora saw both Riku and Kairi emerging from an alley. Kairi appeared to have tears in her eyes, and Riku looked confused. What's wrong with them? Sora wondered, as he moved towards them. "Hey, Kairi, there yo--" In that instant, the last thing Sora saw where two car lights.

(o0c: O_______o i did it, xDD better take care of me!!!)

 

"SOOORA!!" Kairi screamed as a car collided with the spiky haired burnette. His body bounced in front of the two of them, and Kairi rushed over to his body. He was badly beaten, but Kairi felt his pulse and found him to still be alive. "Riku! Help me!"
(OOC: I can't believe you actually did it. I'm sorry your Sora got run over ^^;;)
