Riku Itsuki Amakura  All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone ((Everything after good times, that is in italics, is a flashback. Just clearing up any possible confusion.)) Riku focused his mind on more pleasant memories. His memory pulled the first time he and Dominic met. A small smile appeared on Riku's face. Good times.
He ran across the rooftops, running from the guards that were after him. Riku had pushed his luck this time! This had been one of his first jobs, and he fouled up! His mind didn't even want to know what the masters would say! But, Riku knew that wasn't important. Right now, what was important was getting away alive.
His breath sounded labored as he tried to lose them. But, no matter what the novice assassin did, it seemed useless. Slowly, Riku came to accept the idea that he wouldn't be waking up to the sunrise tomorrow. A baot of sadness went through him at the realization.
But then, his foot got caught on something. Riku held back the urge to yell as he fell through the hole in the roof. However, when he looked up, there was no hole. His eyes widened as Riku wondered what had happened.
"I didn't except any guests at this hour. Though, I don't mind the company."
His eyes turned as he looked upon a man not much older than him. The man seemed to be working on a new weapon of some kind. It intriuged Riku as he made his way over to him. "So, you aren't going to kick me out?"
The man shook his head as he made the last touchs on the strange contrapation. "Nope. Though, I assume you were the one sent to take out that man in the manor over there?" His finger pointed to where Riku had ran just ran from moments ago. Riku didn't see any need in hiding his actions. Thus, he nodded.
"Hmmm, then these might be more useful to you, than they are to me." With a quick glance to Riku, he placed the hidden blades onto Riku's wrists. Riku started to mess with them as the man smiled at him. "I only ask for one thing in return." Riku looked at the person and raised an eyebrow. "I want to come with you."
Riku's eyes widened as he sighed and nodded. "Alright, as long as you don't drage me done Mister..."
"Dominic. Call me, Dominic."
The memory ended when Riku heard someone sobbing nearby gim. He raised himself slightly, letting his mind return to reality. Once it did, Riku made his way to the sound. When he realized it was Linda, he tilted his head. "What's wrong?" There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time

Linda
Linda jumped and looked up at the speaker. Realizing that it was Riku, she quickly wiped away the tears and the drawing in the dirt, hoping that he hadn't seen it.
"N-nothing," she stammered. She stood and hugged herself, wondering why she had let herself get caught like this. She looked up at Riku again, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "I was just... Just remembering... Dominic..." Her voice broke and she looked down again, her whole body shaking.

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) Riku didn't know what to do. Linda clearly looked upset, yet..he had no experience in comforting eithers. Then again, he never tried or even cared to before. Even when he traveled with Dominic, Riku rarely comforted the man. This was Riku's way of trying to get his partner more assassin minded. Now, he regretted it. If only I could repeat things...but the past is the past. I can't change what I did to Dominic, or what happened to him in the end.
"Coincedinatlly, I was just remembering him as well." Riku leaned against a tree nearby Linda now. "I was remembering my first encounter with your brother...." A small smile appeared on Riku's face. "What were you remembering about him?" There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time

Linda
Linda blinked and then smiled a little.
"I was remembering one of the many meals that we had together... All three of us were laughing..." she said softly. She didn't realize that Riku might not remember the meals. She just remembered them, and she knew that as a younger woman, she had had the most fun in her life during those simple meals.

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling

So far away and so alone (()) Riku blinked a couple of times. Simple meals? He never remembered eating meals with Linda and Dominic. His mind could remember him and Dominic eating. But, Riku thought he hadn't met Linda until the day Dominic died. My memory could be faulty but...when did this occur? "Um, I don't...remember those meals..." He felt a slight hint of guilt about that fact. However, Riku shoved the strange guilt aside soon after it showed up. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here

Linda
Linda shrugged and started to turn away.
"I wouldn't expect you to. They weren't that important to you, except for those few times you could lose yourself and laugh, but I enjoyed them immensely. I remember that I adored you..." This last bit, she said softly, and as she was still partially facing Riku, she was sure that he could see her blushing a bright red.

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) Riku tilted his head as she turned away. He was tempted to place his hand on her shoulder. That way, he could make her face him again. But, Riku stopped himself. When she mentioned how he didn't find them important, a small flicker of a memory crossed through his mind. "I only loosened up when I was...drunk. Me and your brother would drink so much wine during some of those meals, that we didn't care what we said. And you were...just grinning and laughing away..." The part about her adoring him almost didn't hit him.
When it did, his eyes widened slightly.....What? He couldn't make himself believe that at one point, she adored him. But then, Riku's mind remembered one of those dinners...
"Riku! Stop hogging the salt!" Dominic yelled as Riku laughed and shook his head. "No! I'm not giving you any damn salt! You have to come over and get it!" He could feel the wine going through his system. The way he was acting didn't phrase him. For once, Riku allowed himself to feel emotion.
"You know what would happen if I did that? I would kick your a**!" Riku glared at him and Dominic chuckled. "No, you wouldn't! I would have you on the ground in five seconds, dwit!" Dominic smirked as Riku glared still. "Want to bet?"
His eyes looked over at Linda, who seemed to be finding their interaction amusing. "Hey, what do you find so funny, Linda? Hmmm, you want the bloody salt too? You both can't have it!" Riku could hear her laugh and he grinned, enjoying her laughter. "Hey now! No hitting on my sister!" Dominic laughed a little when Riku's glare intenfied. "Who says I was?"
"I was, you drunkard!" Riku rolled his eyes and smirked. "Yeah well, what if I was?" Dominic glared at Riku now and Riku laughed loudly. "I would have to beat you up for it!" Riku laughed some more. "And why would that be?"
"Because my sister over there likes you, and I don't trust you not to hurt her!" Riku raised an eyebrow as he noticed Linda blushing red. A smirk came on Riku's face as he looked over at her. "Awww, Dominic's sister is blushing! I guess Domy was telling the truth?" He noticed her blush became redder as his smirk grew. "Well, I say we go into the back and..." He felt a smack upside his head.
"Riku, you pervert! I'll have your hide if you dare touch my sister!" All the present Riku could hear was laughter before the memory went to black.
His eyes blinked as his mind returned to the present once more. He looked over at Linda, a small frown on his face. "I'm guessing that is past tense, huh?" There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time

Linda
Linda fought to keep turned away, but she couldn't. Turning back to Riku, she shook her head, her face still red.
"No... It's not... I still do..." she whispered. She wanted to step closer, but couldn't, her shyness keeping her away. She didn't know how she could have let her emotions get away with her like this. She took a deep breath and took a step closer. "Actually... Now, it's a little bit more than adore..." she added in a quiet tone.

 {Celeste} Celeste got a grin on her face as she made a plan, and then put it into action. She relinquished the rest of the control of Darian's body to him, then started to watch what would happen next.

  King Darian
Darian suddenly wrested his control back and stopped walking, blinking in surprise. He turned to Sienna, his face filled with joy, and he went to her, wanting to kiss her and hold her, everything.
"Sienna..." he said, his voice his own as he spoke to her.

Sienna looked up at Darian, curiousness and even a little fear was visible in her eyes. As he wrapped his arms around her Sienna hesitated for a second before wrapping her arms around him "D-Darian, is it truly you? W-What happened, how did you get control back?"

Darian nodded and kissed her.
"It's me. I don't know how but I've got my control back," he said softly, kissing her again.

Sienna sighed slightly as she lightly kissed Darian back before pulling out of his arms. "M-Maybe you should go back to your room, she was heading for the barrack just now. I don't know what she had had planned though." Sienna trembled slightly, trying to fight the emotions that were flying around her. She was happy that Darian had gotten control, but was worried that his sister could take control back at any moment. She wanted to tell Darian how scared she had been, that she had been close to losing him after just allowing herself to be with him.

King Darian
Darian smiled and swept her off her feet. He read her fears, and his own fears echoed hers. But, he wanted nothing but her for the moment.
"Back to my room then. And we will stay there for as long as it takes to make sure that whoever it was taking over my body is gone," he said as he held her close.
