Pairing: Inoo Kei X OC (Riki {Also known as Ryelie})
Summary: Ryelie has no idea what had happened to her in the last year. Her friends and family tell her that she was just clumsy and injured herself, but she knows that there's more to it. What really happened to her? Why won't her best friends tell her anything? She's just about to give up hope when she overhears an interesting conversation one night. Her parents discuss what to do about a certain trial with someone named Jared. Who is he and what does he have to do with her family?
“Alright! She's ready!” Kei heard half an hour later as the door opened. He sighed relieved, “Finally--”
“*cough* eh... Ni, you didnt need to spray perfume in my face... ugh...” Riki groaned as a smile formed on Kei's face. Riki looked at him and blushed as she nervously rubbed her arm, “D-don't just stare, Kei...”
“You look amazing Ri.” he told her. “Wow... first time I've ever seen you in a dress...” Nina smiled, “The scratches and bruises on her arm have vanished and her leggings cover up her legs so she is good to go~! Now you two have an awesome time! Just don't have too much fun alright?”
“S-shut up~!!” the two blushed as Nina pushed them out.
“And we'll have these...” Kei said as he order their dinner. He looked to see Riki, fidgetting with her dress as he asked, “You alright?” She nodded, “Yea... never better...” He laughed a bit, “You don't need to be nervous... its just me Ri...”
“...It's not that, Kei...” she sighed. He thought, “Then what is it?”
“...why doesn't anyone want to tell me? I mean, shouldn't I be able to know about my past?” she pleaded. “Kei, please tell me...” He had an annoyed look on his face, “Ri, you don't know how badly I want to tell you. But I don't want to be the one to bring back all the miserable memories you had to endure..”
“Kei I can face the consequences... I want my memories back... the good and the bad--”
“No you don't.” he interrupted. “I know you don't want that. Ri, trust me when I say that you don't want to remember what happened....” She pleaded, “Please, please, please Kei! I have to know--”
“Just drop it Riki!” he shouted at her annoyed. “I'm not going to put you through your suffering again!” She flinched back, a bit surprise at his anger, but she sighed, upset, “Fine... I'm going home...”
“...Riki, come on...” Kei called her back. “We still have the rest of the night ahead of us... dinner hasn't even come yet...”
“... It's hard to continue my life, not know what had actually happened.... I feel like a part of me is missing and I really don't like that feeling...” she thought. “That's all that's been in my mind lately... I'm missing this huge part of my life and my family... and best friends won't tell me anything about it...”
“Ri--”
“It would be too awkward to continue this date with you... Sorry Kei.” she said as she left. Kei slammed his hand hard on the table, pissed, as silence went through the entire restaurant. He thought, “Crap... Riki please don't put me in this difficult situation!”
“...Damn Riki....I-I want to tell you... I just...” he thought as he left the restaurant a few minutes later. He suddenly heard voices nearby as he heard a loud cry of pain. He rushed over to see some guys beating up another guy.
“Hey!” Kei yelled as the guys stopped. He helped the guy up and said, “You alright?” He nodded as Kei told him, “Hurry and get outta here... I'll hold these guys off.” He nodded and ran.
“Hah~ You're gonna hold us off?!” the three guys laughed at Kei. “This is gonna be fun!”
“What are you doing back already?! It's only been an hour!” Nina said surprised as Riki walked into the house. She told her as she went towards her room, “I left early---”
“WHAT?! How could you do that?! Especially to Kei?!” she shouted as Riki replied, “We got into another argument alright? I'm going to bed...”
“Ri--” she was about to say as Riki quickly locked herself in her room. Nina sighed and quickly called up Hikaru, “Hey, we really need to talk... Call up Kei and we'll all meet at your place in 20 minutes alright?”
“... where is he?” Nina wondered as she and Hika waited and waited for Kei to arrive. Hikaru shrugged, “I dunno... he didn't answer his phone, but he should've got my message already--” His phone rang as he answered, “Hello?” A shocked expression grew on his face as Nina asked, “What happened?”
“We gotta go. Kei's in the hospital.” he told her as he quickly got his jacket on. She nodded as they rushed out.
“What happened?!” Riki asked in a panic as she rushed into Kei's hospital room. Hikaru and Nina were sitting patiently, hoping for Kei to awaken. Nina told her, “The doctor's said that someone found him all beaten up. Some gang got him. He's badly injured, but he'll be alright.” She sighed worried, “Oh man... i- I shouldn't have left him...”
“... no signs of him struggling against them either...” Hikaru said. “According to the guy who found him, Kei saved him. He didn't fight back, he was just defending himself.”
“What?! Why didn't he fight back?” Riki thought. As Nina yelled upset, “Because you never liked it when he fought! You were always scolding him on all the fighting he got into---”
“Nina!” Hikaru interrupted as he said, “We shouldn't be talking about her past.”
“Sorry...” she sighed. “Riki look. You have to know that we're just looking out for you. Please just trust us and forget about your missing memories. If you do remember, you'll won't like what had happened.” She was silent as she stared at Kei's bandaged body.
“Ri...” Hikaru called to her as he smiled, “Everyday, we all treasure those smiles you give us. Kei and I … we've never seen you smile like that before what happened. And we don't want that to vanish.”
“... I'll think about it guys...” she thought as Nina sighed, “Fine... I need to cool off... Come with me Hikaru...” He nodded as the two left. Riki sat by his bedside as she just stared at him and thought, “... Is my memories really worth all this pain... everyone's so against it... they are only doing what's best for me...” She grasped onto Kei's hand, hoping for him to wake up and to apologize to him. But he just laid there. Time flew and soon, Kei's eyes fluttered open. He felt warmth in his head as he saw Riki laying her head on his bed next to him. He tightened his grip on her hand as he whispered, “... I'm really sorry.. I can't make your wish come true... I can't... I can't tell you... I promised to keep that wonderful smile on your face.”
“.... it's okay..” he heard as Riki slowly sat up. She yawned and then said, “I've thought hard about it... I really want to remember, but I don't want to trouble you all. I've survive the past two months without knowing... I'm sure I can live the rest of my life without remembering...” He suddenly hugged her as a blush crept on her face. He whispered, “Thank you Riki... we all really appreciate it...”
“Wow... you just woke up and you're already at it Kei~” they both heard as Kei quickly pulled away. Hikaru and Nina were giggling at the door as she smiled, “Should we leave you two alone?”
“S-shut up...” the two blushed. Hikaru smiled, “Well you seem in good condition. But the doctors are gonna keep you here for the week... to make sure your injuries are healing alright.” Kei sighed with sarcasm, “Great... because I have nothing better to do than sit around a hospital...”
“You'll get better soon...” Riki smiled. “Just hang in there...” He nodded and smiled back. For the next week, Riki would always come to visit Kei. They had finally reconnected after all the arguments the recently had and were happily enjoying themselves. Eventually, it was the day before Kei's release.
“Hey, Ri. We're going ahead alright?” Hikaru said as he passed Nina her jacket. She nodded, “Alright. I'll see you at home Nina.” She nodded, “See you. Bye Kei. We'll come to bring you home tomorrow ok?”
“Thanks... see you then.” he smiled as they took off. After a few minutes, Kei asked, “Ri... do you think... we can have a date? Since our last one didn't work out so well?” She smiled, “Yea... I'd like that.” He smiled relieved and hugged her. “I won't let you down! It will be the best date you've ever been on!”
“Haha, you do realize that it is my first real date... since we never actually got through the other one.” she giggled as she saw Kei's smile vanish. “What's wrong?”
“Nothing... don't worry about it.” he told her. “Anyways, you should get going... It's getting late and I don't want you wondering alone at night.” She nodded, “Alright then. I'll see you tomorrow.”
“We'll things should be normal again soon... no more drama, no more questions of the past.” Hikaru smiled as he wrapped an arm around Nina. She nodded, “Yup... we'll all live happy, hopefully drama free lives...”
“I'm home!” Nina said as they entered the house. They saw Riki's parent sitting on the dining table reading some mail. Stress looks were on their faces as Nina asked, “Everything alright?” They put on small smile and nodded as Riki's father said, “Don't worry about. It's late. You should get ready for bed.”
“... I'll see you tomorrow Ni.” Hikaru told her as she nodded and he left. She then asked, “Seriously.. what's going on?” They both looked at each other and sighed as they explained.
“I'm home~” Riki said as she walked into the house. Nina quickly came out of the dining room as she gave a smile, “What are you doing back so early?”
“It's almost 11... what do you mean early?” she giggled.
“You're always with Kei... no matter how late it gets...” she explained happily. “I'm surprised you two aren't dating yet...”
“Oh shut up. We are only best friends.. that's all!”
“Ouch~ He's replacing me?!” Nina pouted as Riki giggled, “Oh stop being over dramatic... You'll always be my best friend! I'm gonna head to bed. I wanna wake up early tomorrow...” She smiled again, “You are so in love with him...”
“I am not---”
“Whatever, just go on and sleep...” she rolled her eyes as Nina said, “Alright... I think I'm gonna watch some tv. Night.”
“...so what are we gonna do...” Riki heard as she stirred in bed. She rubbed her eyes as she looked at her clock. 2:46am. She quietly walked out of her room as she saw the kitchen lights on and heard her mother, “... Let's call them... there is no way she'll be able to go to court... not with her condition...”
“Alright... i'll give them a call later on today...” her father said as she then heard Nina, “It's all written in the letter guys... she either shows up or he goes free... and none of us want him free!”
“But we don't want her to remember him either.” Riki saw her mother say as she peeked into the kitchen. They were all sitting at the table, staring at a letter. Her father then said, “Let's just leave things as they are for now... we still have a few days before the trial with Jared. We'll talk about it more later.” They all nodded and got up as Riki quickly, yet subtly went back to her room and jumped on her bed. She pretended to sleep as Nina walked into the room and quietly laid down in the spot next to her. She thought, “Trial? Who's this Jared guy? I've got to find out--- No.. I told Kei I wouldn't try to remember... if this has to do with my past then I won't even get involved with it...”
