Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hikari was walking towards her class, quite deep in thought. She had only dealt with one other dark dragon before, and that dragon was Maleficent herself. Even though Hikari doubted Lakayna's power to be significantly weaker than the Mistress of Evil's, it would be difficult, nonetheless. A light sigh escaped her lips as she heard the bell ring for the end of lunch. She looked down at her stomach as she felt a faint rumble. Great, now I'm hungry. she thought with distaste as she continued on. English class was on the other side of the campus from where she was currently at, so even with the small head start, she still had a bit of a walk before she was to make it on time.

Lakayna could help but giggle.
"How ironic," she commented, "that the Momory Witch is forgetting her own memories."
Lakayna turned to go back into the building for her next class; Biology; but not before looking over her shoulder and waving to Namine.
"See you later, my friend."
With that she walked briskly back into the building. She remembered something from yesterday on her way to class; Axel had Biology as well. She'd gotten a peek at his schedule before.
Oh goody, maybe I'll get to sit next to him, she thought with a smile as she took a seat at the back of the room and waited for the class to file in.

Lakayna's words made Naminé roll her eyes and give a light laugh. "I'll remember soon enough," she replied. The petite blonde watched as her friend turned and walked away, but not before Lakayna turned around and waved, saying she'd see her later. Naminé waved back and then her friend and the boy were gone. Which left her alone with Riku.

Turning around, she took a deep breath before facing Riku. The girl looked up at him, her eyes hard and determined. "Yes I am," she replied, crossing her arms over her chest. "She's dangerous and I know her. Not well, but I know a few things about her and somehow her past mixed with mine. I know her but I don't know who she is. And I'm going to find out. I am coming with you." The girl stared up at him, and it didn't look like this was something she was going to change her mind about. "If you leave me here, I'll only follow you. Or I'll use the Darkness to find her. It shouldn't be to hard."

Naminé's crystal blue eyes hardened as she gazed at Riku, and she gave a curt shake of her head. She was going whether he wished her to or not. However, when he said she was staying away she stiffened. "Is that an order, Riku?" She asked in a very quiet voice.

She continued to look up at him and when Riku spoke next the girl sighed and the cold look left her eyes. Her eyes and expression softened and she uncrossed her arms, reaching out with her hands to grasp both of his. "I know you don't want me there, Riku. But I need to know who this is. You don't understand..." The petite blonde said, releasing his hands and looking away. Riku didn't know what Naminé knew. He didn't know that Hikari had always been at Xmenas' side. There was no doubt the girl was dangerous and shrouded in Darkness. But Naminé needed to find out what she was up to. Though the girl had seemed pissed about being associated with Xmenas, that was the only place Naminé had ever seen her. At Xemnas' side.

"Let me come with you," she continued, turning back to look at him. "For some reason, I don't believe that this girl is going to harm us. Not yet, anyways. She could have attacked me earlier, but she didn't. The only reason the -- my -- Keyblade showed up was because I was thinking about protecting my friends."

The petite blonde looked up at Riku when he spoke, saying he needed to do this by himself and that there was something familiar about the girl to him. He went on to say that he had to do it alone and that she had to trust him. "I do trust you!" Naminé protested immidietely after he'd said that. Riku's voice had been steadily rising and the girl had flinched yet didn't move back from him. Reaching up with a hand and placed it against his cheek, moving his head gently so he had to look at her. "I trust you more than anyone." She said softly, staring into his teal eyes.

Riku then sighed and spoke again, saying that he couldn't say no because she wouldn't let him. "No, I won't let you," she said gently, keeping her hand against his cheek. After a moment, she smiled faintly. The fight seemed to be over for now and the petite blonde gave a small sigh of relief. She was going to go with him whether he wanted her to or not and she was pleased because he came to terms with it and accepted it.

Naminé smiled at the tone of Riku's voice. She knew he was still serious and still a bit upset but most of the edge in his voice had dissapeared, which caused her smilt to brighten. Riku leaned in and kissed her gently, causing a blush to rise to her face and stain her porcelain cheeks a rosy red. The silvernette then moved away, a smirk on his lips.

Naminé smiled at him and then gave a mock sigh. "Alright, alright. I'm going." She said with a laugh, turning away from him. The petite blonde walked back to the cafeteria and grabbed her bag and sketchbook before shouldering her bag while her sketchbook dissapeared in a gentle flash of light. She knew that it would be in her bag the moment she opened it so she wasn't worried. The girl proceeded to wander the hallways until finding her fourth period class. Ducking into algebra she muttered an apology at the teacher for being late and she took the first open seat she saw. Sitting down, the petite blonde pulled out a notebook and pencil and took all the notes the class did yet her thoughts were on the meeting with the girl after school.

“And I thought the Darkness was bad…xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIt doesn’t even compare to this Hell.”

Riku made sure that the blonde was off to class before turning and heading to his own. English. He walked silently and slowly down the halls. he was already late. What would another few minutes matter? He entered the class room and the teacher, knowing his name and face and background, just told him to take a seat. The silvernette looked up and sadly the only seat available was beside the silver-haired girl. He groaned and sulked to the seat before glaring at her then turning almost completely away from her with his feet in the aisle.
