Chapter 1: A High Schoolers Life

"Rrrr, Rrrr, Rrrr," "Shut the fuck up!" cried out a muffled feminine voice as the alarm continued to ring.

The sheets on a rather large sized bed shifted slightly, a slender hand slowly appeared out of the many folds of the blankets, after pressing the 'off'' button on the alarm the hand disappeared. The blankets shifted again and soon fell still to the sound of birds chirping outside, a few silent minutes passed as a sense of peace settled inside the room.

A sudden banging on the door resounded through the once silent room, a booming voice coming from behind it, "Riku, get your ass out of bed, it's time for school!"

A low growl resounded from beneath the blankets as they were slowly drawn back, revealing a matte of reddish brunette hair and a pair of glaring brown eyes.

The girl slipped from the bed and let her feet touch the cold floor as she scratched her neck roughly, looking towards the window she groaned slightly. Letting out a yawn the girl fell face first onto the bed and gripped a pillow to her chest, letting out a soft moan as she buried her face in the soft material.

"Riku, move it, you still have to pick up Risa so put a move on girl!" hearing the voice coming from behind the door the girl, Riku, punched her pillow as she sat up.

"Alright already, damn it, I'm up!" pulling herself off of her bed, Riku made her way over to her bathroom door, scowling the whole way.

Tugging at her shirt she slowly removed it and let it fall to the floor, pulling her sleeping shorts off, her panties followed as they fell into a small pile at her feet. Riku then moved to the shower stall and reached down gripping one of two rounded handles, turning it she stepped inside pulling the curtain closed behind her.

Once she was sure that the temperature felt just right, she pulled on a small piece of metal and a wave of water rushed out of the shower head above her, hitting her slender form and running down its sides.

Gripping a small bottle at her side, Riku squeezed the contents into her hand, replacing the bottle she ran the creamy substance through her hair. Singing softly to herself as she lathered up her hair Riku smiled lightly as she smelled the light tinge of lavender that the air held, after about two minutes of massaging her scalp, Riku ran her hair under the water letting it wash everything out.

Finishing off her shower Riku turned off the water and pulled open the shower curtain, stepping out she pulled a dark blue towel off the rack and wrapped it about her slender form. Stepping next to the sink she picked up a small brush and began running it through the numerous tangles in her hair as she examined her slightly pale form in the mirror.

Letting out a deep sigh and leaning her still dripping head against the mirror Riku banged her fist roughly against the counter top, "Fuck! Why me...god, of all the men out there why him? Huh? Why him?"

The sound of a soft knock at her bedroom door brought Riku out of her little world, "Riku honey, is everything alright in there, I thought I heard a banging noise."

Moving out of the bathroom Riku walked to her door and opened it a small crack, "mom, its okay...I just dropped my brush is all, tell dad I'll be down in a minute okay?"

Her mother smiled and gave Riku a kiss on the cheek before she turned around and went downstairs. Closing her door, Riku leaned back against it and glanced over at her alarm clock, it read '7:15am.'

"Yet another eventful day at school..."

Riku walked over to her computer which sat opposite her sister Risa's bed, shaking the mouse Riku about threw up when she was greeted with another one of her sister's 'Dark Mousy' backgrounds. Left clicking she clicked on 'properties' and clicked 'background' then 'browse,' after running through all of her sisters worthless programs Riku found the one she was looking for and clicked 'apply'.

Stepping back slightly Riku smiled as she saw her favorite 'Crazy Frog' background, moving the mouse again she clicked on her mp3 player and cranked up the volume. Seconds later she was greeted by the familiar beat of one of her favorite songs of all time, 'Rest in Pieces' by Saliva, letting her towel fall to the floor she began to sing with the words of the song.

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again

Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did

It has not healed with time.

Riku continued to sing with the music as she went over to her dresser and pulled out a bra and panties, pulling on the panties she walked back to her computer where her freshly washed high school uniform sat. Slipping on the knee-high socks and then her skirt, Riku was about to pull on her bra when the door to her room opened suddenly.

Screaming at the top of her lungs Riku picked up one of her shoes and chucked it at the intruder, the man let out a strangled yelp as he shut the door before the shoe could reach him. Shaking in anger Riku pulled her bra on the rest of the way and stormed over to grab her shoe, outside she could still hear her father's laughter, swearing to get revenge Riku went back over to her computer as the next song on her playlist started.

It was 'Two Beds and A Coffee Machine' by Savage Garden, Riku smiled openly as she pulled on her top and started fastening the buttons as she sang along to this one as well.

And she takes another step

Slowly she opens the door

Check that he is sleeping

Fastening the last button she pulled on her shoes and turned to her computer, shutting off the music she pulled her backpack on and started towards the door, making sure to grab her car keys on the way out.

After shutting her door, Riku ran down the steps quickly moving past the kitchen and to the front door, "Bye Mom, Bye Dad!"

Opening the front door Riku looked out and cursed under her breath, 'the day I decide to take a shower it rains, that's just my luck!'

She took a deep breath and booked it down the sidewalk to her waiting Dodge Ram, it was a deep green but since it was raining it looked more blue than green. Riku whipped out her keys and unlocked the door, jumping up into her seat before she could get even more wet, she slammed the door shut and tossed her backpack onto the passenger seat.

Once buckled Riku placed the keys in ignition and turned the car on, she smiled when she was greeted with the loud purr of the engine, glancing behind her once she shifted the car from park to drive. Pulling away from the curb Riku pressed the gas and started down the street, she reached down and turned the radio on as she waved to a friend of her mothers who passed by.

The radio came alive with the end of some song, there was a few seconds of silence as Riku stopped at the corner and looked to see if anyone was coming, as she started turning left the radio started to play one of her favorite 80's songs. She started to bob her head as the words started to play, the song was from Cranberries, its name was 'Zombie.'

Another head hangs lowly,

Child is slowly taken.

And the violence caused such silence,

Who are we mistaken?

The song filled the car as Riku pulled the car to a stop before a small gray house, honking her horn Riku waited as a girl ran from the house and came around the side of the car. Pulling her backpack into her lap Riku unlocked the side door to let the girl in, she then watched as the girl climbed in and shot her an angry glance; Riku only sighed as she started towards her high school.

"Riku, could you have been any later?" complaining beside her the girl directed her intense brown eyes out of the window at her side, "Shut up Risa, at least I came here to get you, would you have rather walked?"

Risa shook her long reddish brunette hair once signaling a 'no', Riku rolled her eyes at her twin's stubborn, spoiled behavior. The rain continued to pelt the car as the song ended, Riku shut the radio off once the song was over and looked around her for a decent parking space, finding one she pulled into it quickly and turned the car off.

Risa was out of the car and starting across the schoolyard towards her waving friends by the time Riku had exited her car, making sure that the doors were locked Riku started towards the school as well. She glanced about at the other students who were rushing to beat the late bell and shook her head, behind her she heard a boy calling her, or was it her sister.

Before she could discern which one a guy came running past her and approached her sister his face as red as an apple, Riku was about to mutter something to herself when she recognized who the guy was. She felt her heart stop as she studied his slouched form, his red hair was sparkling from traces of the rain that Riku failed to see him stop, he was smiling openly and his red eyes sparkled with hope.

Riku took a deep breath as she quickened her pace so that she could join the red head in his conversation with her sister, catching up she only caught a little of her sisters rather loud statement.

"...suke, I'm in love with my little Darky warky, I wouldn't part with him for the world!"

"But Risa, he has never taken any interest in a girl, from what he's told me he's not even looking. So why do you keep saying no, you said yes a week ago!" The redhead's voice was low but held all the emotion he was feeling at that moment, fear, annoyance, and jealousy.

"Hmph! That was then, this is now. Besides if you're so eager to get a girlfriend then why not go for my sister, she's free."

Riku froze at that statement, 'does she know I like him?' the look in her sister's eyes told Riku otherwise, apparently Risa was just trying to get rid of the redhead and her sister was the nearest free girl, all her friends already had boyfriends.

"What! I...uh...like Riku, but only as a friend, she..." the redhead trailed off when he noticed that Riku was standing right behind him.

He whipped about quickly to face Riku as she glared daggers at her sister, 'why does she love to pester him so much, he never did anything.'

"H...Hi Riku," the redheads face turned a light red as Riku turned her attention towards him, "Daisuke, there's no need to explain, I understand. Come on, were still friends right?" He only nodded and Riku smiled, "Alright, let's go, we don't want to be late."

Riku gripped Daisuke's left hand and started running towards the school entrance, dragging the very red and very confused redhead after her.

Reaching their homeroom, Riku slid to a walk as she continued to drag the now panting redhead, moving past other students Riku reached her desk and sat down. Daisuke sat next to her and laid his head on his desk as he closed his eyes, to Riku it seemed he was talking to himself, she never knew how close she was to the truth.

Glancing up at the clock, Riku sighed and leaned back in her seat her eyes plastered to the ceiling, she was starting to daydream about the redhead next to her when she felt a tug on her hand. Looking down she saw that she was holding a hand, she let her eyes follow the arm to its owner and she almost fell over in shock, she was still holding Daisuke's hand and had forgotten to let go.

Her eyes locked with his for a moment before she let go immediately, "S...Sorry, I didn't notice," she felt like an idiot or her actions but she was shocked yet again when Daisuke smiled back at her completely content.

"That's okay, I needed a little comforting anyway," Riku's heart stopped at those words, something about how he said it made her want to just kiss the daylights out of him.

She was about to just nod her head and act like it was no big deal when something flashed in his eyes; his eyes had turned purple for a split second. 'The same purple as...'

She was unable to finish that thought when something inside of her snapped, she felt it deep in the pit of her stomach, it was an odd foreboding feeling. The feeling started to spread as she tried to look away from Daisuke, her body began to move on its own, she rose to her feet and leaned down towards Daisuke. His eyes went wide at her actions but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't control what was going on with her body, she leaned in close and ran her lips over his brushing them lightly together.

Daisuke's face turned fire hydrant red as she pulled back, Riku then was able to move her body, her face went pale as she backed away. All about them the room had fallen completely silent and all eyes were on her and Daisuke, Riku felt ill, she wanted to disappear but the only thing she could do now was turn and run from the room, leaving a very red and very confused Daisuke yet again.

Riku ran with all her might through the halls, she wanted to go anywhere but here, somehow she found her way to the roof and immediately she tried to calm herself.

"There has to be a good reason that my body would do that with out me controlling it, but damn it all, I kissed him. What am I going to do, this will be spread about school in no time and they'll probably start claiming that we are some kind of couple."

Having said her piece Riku started pacing about angrily when her back started to itch, she tried to ignore it, when the itch became pain she scratched her back trying to relieve the pain but it only intensified at her touch. She felt bumps starting to form on either side of her shoulder blades, they felt feathery to the touch and seemed to be growing larger. She slowly sank to her knees and closed her eyes unable to stand the pain, but before she could cry out the pain suddenly was gone, she tried to open her eyes but was surrounded in darkness.

'Help me, someone, anyone!' Riku tried to yell but it only came out a soft whisper, she was starting to get scared, from behind her Riku felt something gentle touch her shoulder.

She turned around but only saw more black, she then felt the touch again, this time it was on her cheek. Riku was starting to worry, 'who are you, are you going to help me?' she was unable to keep the words inside, it was like her every thought was open in this strange new place.

As if on cue a bright light started to shine before her huddled form, inside of the light she could make out the form of a woman, Riku shrank back wondering what she was going to do now.

'Please, don't fear me. I am here to help you, just take my hand and you'll be fine.'

The voice was soft and gentle, a wave of comfort rushed over Riku as she nodded her head and stretched a hand out to this woman in the light. A light covered hand reached towards her as well and gripped Riku's hand in a viselike grip, Riku suddenly gasped as she felt waves of power and strength wash over her.

Riku's eyes suddenly opened and she rose to her feet, she was still on the school roof and by the look of things school was out, she was about to move when a dark blue feather drifted before her eyes.

`Sleep now, I will take over for now, and once you are rested we can start our journey together. Oh yes, Dark Mousy I'm coming for you and you'll have no idea what hit you!'

Riku heard this as she started to dose off, she looked about the roof around her and saw no one else, 'Who are you?' She felt a deep chuckling voice in the back of her mind as the answer was finally given,

`My name is Night.'
