Second Chances Ch. 8

By: Nikki Dalan
Rating: M (Language is used!!!)
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?

“Really?” she said surprised. “Why?! You're one of my best friends!!”
“Well not then...” he smiled. “You really want to know?” She nodded as he stated, “Come on...” He brought her towards her place, but stopped on a street. He stated, “I had just won a fight against this gang I usually fought... but they had gotten me pretty good. I was on my way home, weakly limping when I fainted here...” He continued to talk as the images entered Riki's mind.


Hmm... where was I suppose to meet Hikaru again?” she said to herself as she walked by other pedestrians. “I suppose I should give him a call-- Oh my God!” She jumped a bit surprised as a guy passed out right in front of her. She quickly came over to him, “Hey! Hey, are you alright?!” The guy seemed to be around her age. He was bleeding all over him and was grasping his arm as if it was in pain. He looked a little beaten as she tried to think of what to do. She threw his arm over her shoulder and sat him on a nearby bench. A store was nearby and she quickly got a first aid kit and began wiping all his wounds. But when she touched his arm, his eyes shot open as he was about to punch her. Luckily, she had quick reflexes and moved back.
Whoa! Hey! I was just trying to help!” she defended a bit surprised. The guy grasped his arm again as she said, “I think your arms fractured. You should probably see a doctor about that. But the rest of your wounds have been cleaned and disinfected.” He looked at himself, a little surprised to see all the wounds had diminished. He looked at her as she said, “Do you need a ride to the hospital?” He gave no answer as he quickly got up and began heading away.
Geez... your welcome!” she yelled after him, a little annoyed at how he didn't even say one word to her. But soon he was gone, “Geez, what a jerk...”


“Ri?” Kei called to her as she stated, “What the hell did you try to punch me for?!”
“I wasn't-- oh... you remembered...” he said. “It was a reflex...” She shrugged, “Whatever... I'm sure I wouldn't hold that as a grudge.. so why did I hate you?” He thought, “I'm getting to that... we met again I was on my way to another photo shoot and I guess you were heading home. The second you recognized me you just glared and went past me. I guess you were still a little mad at me for the way I acted...”
“Alright... and after that?” she wondered. Hikaru stated, “Preparations for the sports festival!” Kei nodded, “I decided to fund this year's festival so all the schools participating sent some students to my school to help with preparations. Including you and Hikaru. Come on.” They soon stood in front of his super large school as he took them into the gym. He said, “Stay right here...” He placed Riki near the back with Hikaru while Nina stood off in the side. Kei went towards the door as he said, “I believe you and Hikaru were working on some banners when I first walked in to see how things were going...” He reenacted what happened as Riki had deja vu.


Wow...” she stared at the large school. “Prestigious isn't it?” Hikaru nodded, “Heck ya... that's why it was so surprising to hear you never heard of it... or Inoo---”
Kyaa~!!” they heard as a bunch of girls squealed happily. There was a mob of girls standing outside the school as a bunch of hot guys entered their school. Riki rolled her eyes, “Geez, girls like them are so annoying. Isn't this an all boys school?”
Yea, these are girls from neighboring schools... tons of good looking guys attend here which explains the mobs of girls.” he said as she followed after. They entered the auditorium where all the supplies were and the back door was open, where they'd be setting everything up.
Do we sign in somewhere?” Riki wondered as he nodded, “I'll take care of that. Just wait here.” He walked off as she decided to start helping. As she headed over to some people, she heard, “KYAA~~~~” A large mob of girls walked into the auditorium as a teacher shouted, “Hey! Students not attending this school need to leave! You aren't allowed to be here unless you are assisting in the sports festival, in which you should already be signed up!” All the girls groaned as they left. Riki then noticed there was a guy in the middle of the mob. He sighed a bit annoyed and soon held eye contact with her. They both were a bit surprised as Riki thought It's that rude jerk again! What the hell's he doing at a rich school like-- no way... he couldn't be--
Inoo-san!” a student called behind her. “Are you here to help?”
...” he just glared at the guy as the guy gulped and went back to work. It is... She then turned away as she heard, “Ri-chan!” Hikaru approached her, handing her a badge, as proof of being a volunteer and smiled, “Let's get to work.” She nodded as followed after and began working as Inoo, watched.
Ah... Yamamoto-san?” a student called to Riki.
Riki...” she stated. The boy nodded, “Riki-san. Can you take these to the supply room? We're done for today so as soon as you do that you can go home.” She nodded, “Ah, demo.. where's the supply room?”
I'll help her get to it...” they heard as a surprise look came on the guy's face. Inoo Kei offered to help out. The guy said, “Ah... ok. Riki-san, go ahead and follow him.” Inoo, grabbed two of the boxes as Riki grabbed the last one. She quietly followed after him as they entered the room. Inoo placed his two down and reached for Riki's.
I got it...” she stated as she put it on the rack.
...You're really different...” he stated.
What?” she wondered confused.
Different then most girls... you do know who I am right?” he asked her with a little smirk on his face. She stated, “I've heard of you...”
And you're not interested?”
Why should I be?” she asked. “I tried helping you that day, and you almost attacked me. Not to mention you left without a thank you. Sorry, but that's not my type of guy.”
Hey, it's not like I'm like that everyday...So what is your type?” he wondered. “I'm hoping someone a little like me...”
I just said, You're not my type...” she stated annoyed. “You know what I'm done here... You just leave me alone.” But he inched closer and closer to her and smirked, “If you're not interested.. why are you turning red?”
I'm no-” she was cut off to see Kei quickly move over her as the box she had place on the rack descended. It hit Kei's arm, which he used to block her, as the box fell to the ground. A pained look appeared on his face as she asked, “Oh my gosh! Are you okay?!”
Urgh... I'm fine...” he groaned grasping his arm.
You're arms still broken isn't it...” she stared at it. “Have you gotten it seen by a doctor?” He nodded, “Yea, but I can't wear a cast... It'd ruin my shots--”
You idiot!” she scolded. “Don't you think you're health's more important than your photo shoots?! Get a cast on this thing!” He looked a bit surprised as she pulled him up by his other arm, “Come on. I'm taking you to the hospital to get it cast.”
Wha—but it's not so bad--”
I don't wanna hear excuses! You're getting that arm fixed!” she told him pulling him out.
Ah, Ri-chan?” Hikaru approached her and Kei.
Sorry~! You'll need to go on without me tonight, Hikaru.” she apologized. “I need to take Inoo-san to the hospital. I'll see you tomorrow.” He nodded as she took off. After a few hours, she was heading home with Inoo, along with his cast.
It should be fine within this week... It has been a month since you got the injury. I'm sure you can take a break from photo shoots for that amount of time.” Riki stated as she reached the fork in the road. “Well, I'm heading off. Bye.”
Matte. At least let me walk you home...” he told her. She replied, “It's fine. Just go on home. You need rest if you want to continue modeling as soon as possible.” He just pouted, “Its the least I can do for thanking you for helping me.”
Forget about it. I'm sure anyone would've done it.” she shrugged it off.
Actually, no. No one would've...”
I really don't think people are that heartless.” she told him.
Well when you're me...” he said as he trailed off. “It's a long story... Maybe I can tell you on our first date.” She rolled her eyes, “Like I haven't heard that before.... My flirtatious friend used that on me so many times already...”
That Hikaru guy? Your boyfriend?”
Nope, just friend.”
Do you have a boyfriend?”
... Hey just curious... how'd you screw up your arm like that?” she questioned.
Don't change the subject...” She stayed quiet and soon she said, “Oh... I gotta go now!” She ran off before he could respond.

EH?! He flirted with you and it didn't work?!!” Hikaru said appalled as they walked to Rayden High the next day.
How many times do I have to tell--”
Yea I know, you don't wanna date anyone, but he's like-- like a prodigy! Every girl would want to date him!” he explained. She answered, “Well apparently not every girl... Those conceited, self-absorbed, jerks like him are so not my type.”
Once again, you're surprising..”Hikaru sighed. “He's really interested in you now... after all he was staring at you a lot yesterday--”
He was?!” Riki said surprised.
Haha, every now and then.” he laughed. “I was talking with some of the students there and they told me that even though he paid for it, he's never helped out until that day.”
That doesn't mean anything...”
Riki, Riki, Riki...” Hikaru said as he shook his head. “It's obvious. You're Inoo's target as of now. He won't stop until you date him, or get taken. I suggest getting a boyfriend. And here's a happy volunteer!” He raised his hand as she laughed, “In your dreams, Hika-kun!” He pouted as they entered the school.
Ri-chan.... look...” she heard Hikaru say as they we working. She did to see Inoo, with his cast, but some new bruises and a few cuts. Then he took notice of her staring at him and smirked. She turned away, “Great... Hikaru, now he thinks I'm checking him out...”
Gomen~” he said playfully. “If you want I can make up for it with a date...”
You just never stop...” He smiled at that statement as Kei approached with a smile, “Was I seeing things or were you checking me out back there?”
Oh I was so checking you out...” she sarcastically answered. “I wanted to know who made that costume. It's a pretty cool monster...” Hikaru held in a laugh as Kei glared to him but stated, “Then we might as well go out on a date. You look pretty terrifying yourself. Perfect match right?”
... You know, insulting a girl doesn't get her to like you...” she told him a bit pissed. “What are you even doing here? It's not like you to help out at school functions like this.”
What do you know about me?”
I've heard people talk.” she told him. “Now if you'd excuse me, I have work to do. Come on, Hika.” She grabbed his hand and walked away, getting to work. After an hour, he nudged her, “He's staring at you...”
Shut up about it already... he's only interested in me cuz, I'm like the only girl not fangirling over him.” she stated annoyed. “Next time, you better not sign me up for things that involve guys like him.”
Gomen, gomen...” he apologized with a laugh. “He's a lot nicer on TV.”
Well you know how the media is-”
It's not just the media.” he interrupted. “For his interviews, he seems like a completely different person. Way nicer than the guy here from what I hear. But those fangirls just don't seem to mind.” She raised an eyebrow, “Him? Nice?” She thought of what happened in the supply room, they way he saved her from the falling box. “Hmm, kinda hard to imagine...”
I'll show you when we get to my place later...” he stated.
So you give him the time of day and not a hot guy like me?” Kei asked as he brought over some material. Riki stated, “Don't you mean a conceited guy like you?” He laughed, “You're great... what was it? Riki-chan?”
Don't think your so close to me...” she responded. He smiled as Riki grew a bit surprised, but she didn't show it. Now I see why these fangirls like him... that is one killer smile... He said, “Okay fine. Riki-san...”
Look, When are you gonna stop hanging around me like this?” she questioned. He thought, “How about we have a deal? Date me for a week and after I'll leave you alone.” She quickly said, “No.”
No?” he chuckled. “Interesting... okay then. I guess you'll be seeing me around.” He walked off as she groaned annoyed, “God, that guy's so... so aggravating!” Hikaru laughed, “But he's definitely funny... well at least when he's getting burn by you....” She smiled, “Well, it is pretty fun messing with him... I guess he's not that bad...” Soon the time flew by and Yuto and Riki headed to his place.

Geez, Ri-chan...” Hikaru sighed as they walked home.
What?”
You're quite a catch you know...”
What are you babbling about?” she sighed. He said quietly, “You've got a stalker...” She held up her ipod and saw Kei following them in the reflection. She sighed and turned around as Kei smirked, “Riki-san, heading home? Or are you walking your boyfriend home?”
What do you care?” she wondered with attitude. He laughed, “What makes you think I do? Just cuz I was asking?”
Well then why don't you move along?” she told him, opening a path. “Do us all that favor.” He gave a fake pout, “Why are you so cold to me, Riki-san? You're so cruel to me, when all you really wanna do...” He slowly approached her, and reached for her hand. “Is hold my hand...” He grasped her hand with his as she quickly pulled away. She stated, “Geez, just get a life, Inoo Kei! Don't you have something better to do than flirt with every girl you see?” He was a bit taken aback as he responded, “I don't flirt with every girl I see...”
Sure... you don't kiss them all either do you?”
I resent that.” he said a bit pissed. “Just because those crazy girls throw themselves at me doesn't mean I wanted to kiss them. They force themselves on me.”
Riki, I think you went a little too far...” Hikaru told her, a bit worried.
... Yea, sorry, Inoo...” she said as she thought. “I didn't mean anything I just said.. I shouldn't have said that..”
...” he sighed. “It's okay.. But to make it up to me, let me walk you home.”
I'm studying with Hikaru today.” she said. “Sorry.”
Fine. Then tomorrow.” he said. “It's the last day of preparation for the festival. No excuses.” He walked off before she could respond.

Oh, Riki-san.” she heard as she reached up to hang a banner the next day. Kei grabbed it, being taller, and pinned it up for her. She raised an eyebrow, “You're being awfully nice today...”
Let's just say I'm looking forward to after this.” he beamed. “I get to walk a pretty girl home today. Nothing beats that right?” She sighed, “Nothing except a hot guy walking the pretty girl home... too bad for that girl, she's stuck with you.” He grasped his heart and back up, “Ouch! Riki san, that hurt...” She laughed as he did. He helped her paint as he noticed, “Eh.. you have a little something right there...” He pointed as she went to touch her face, “Eh? Where--” She was cut off as the paintbrush in her hand marked her face. He chuckled as she said, “Oh now it's on!” She began marking him back as he did. By the end of the day, they were colorful rainbows.
Well, at least we didn't ruin anything for the festival.” she said as they finished putting everything away. He nodded, “So we're already for monday...” She nodded as they grabbed their stuff and headed out. Kei then asked, “Hikaru left already?”
Yea. He thought it'd be awkward if he joined us.”
Ah, so you saw through my loophole.”
It was pretty obvious. She smiled. They walked in silence for a moment as Inoo then said, “Hey, you wanna stop for a smoothie? My treat?” She saw a nice little shop selling yummy-looking drinks. She sighed, “It's not like me to turn down yummy-looking, free drinks..even if we look like rainbows...”
Wow, today really is my lucky day!” he laughed as they went in.


“Wow, you were such a playboy!” Riki stated. “I see why I didn't like you...” He nodded, “But the more I hung out with you the less flirtatious I got...” She then asked, “And all the bruises you got and the fractured arm? What happened...”
“A gang fight... good stress reliever until I met you. You're a really good influence on me, Riki.” he smiled. She beamed, “Glad I am...” Hikaru then said, “Well, its getting late... maybe we should just continue tomorrow...”
“Yea, let's head back to my place and have dinner.” Riki offered as they nodded. For the rest of that week, Nina, Hikaru, and Kei brought Riki to a bunch of places where they shared a bunch of their favorite memories.
