Dream 08 || So Close to Reaching That Famous Happy End
Warnings: Spoilers for Day 7, Week 1, I suppose. Headcanon and then the mun taking a lot of liberties with the scene where Shiki was supposedly being sent back to the RG.
Effects: [Optional] At the beginning, there's hesitation, not wanting to leave Neku's side. It changes at the end where Shiki becomes desperate to stay behind.
[Filtered from: Joshua Kiriyuu]
Note: Backdated to during the blackout when Riku disappeared. Finally got around to doing this. XD;
They were back at the Scramble Crossing, back to where everything began. Even though the city was still bustling with life, from where Shiki was standing everything was in a standstill. For reasons she couldn't begin to fathom she won the Game even though Neku was way better in psychs than she was. She took one step backward and another, before fully turning the other way in order for her to walk to the other side of the street.
"What are you waiting for?" Neku's voice made her stop dead in her tracks and turn around to face him. "I thought you wanted to see Eri?"
"I..." Shiki faltered, dropping her gaze to the pavement bellow for a moment; her grip on Mr. Mew tightened. "Y-you'll be okay Neku, right?"
Neku heaved a heavy sigh before answering her. "Shiki..."
"U-um, find a really strong partner, okay? Work together and--"
"Shiki," An all too familiar glare shot from the redhead, making Shiki let out a squeak of surprise. Before the girl could protest, the expression on Neku's face suddenly softens. Was that a smile she's seeing? "Just go already. I'll be fine, alright?"
She couldn't help but gape a little before showing a smile of her own. It was just so rare to see Neku with that kind of expression. "O-okay, I'll go,"
And with that, a bright light gulfed her whole body, pulling her off the ground. It was strange but it didn't scare her in the slightest. She was finally going back to the RG. She released one arm holding Mr. Mew, reaching a hand out to him. He did the same.
"I'll wait for you, okay?"
"I know, Shiki,"
The light shone brighter, making her shut her eyes for a moment. When she opened them, she didn't see Neku being left behind in the UG. Those storm blue eyes turned into a bright shade of green. The orange shade of his hair became silver instead.
'No…'
She was too high up now, no chance of her going back to solid ground. Her hand reached out farther, in a feeble attempt to grab his hand.
'No! Let me go back! Please let me go back to him!!'
But it was no use. In a blink of an eye, Shiki Misaki already vanished. Never to be seen in the UG ever again.
Shiki woke up with a start, sitting up quickly and running a hand through her hair. There was a deep sense of foreboding induced by the dream. She hoped she was wrong. She really hoped she was. Her hand will suddenly feel the comforting warmth of his, his deep chuckle telling her that Riku will be there with her. But it never came, the other side of the bed was empty. Shiki shook her head, her fingers desperately looking for his touch.
"No…"
All she found from her search was the Crown necklace he had. Her heart tightened, this was just all too familiar. She didn't realize it at first but tears were threatening to spill from her eyes. After putting the necklace around her neck, Shiki rubbed her eyes furiously, willing them to stop falling. She crawled to his side of the bed, checking if he left anything else behind.
"A letter?"
Quickly, she made a grab for it. Even though it was too dark to see, Shiki read it. She read through it once, twice, but it didn't help with the pain that was spreading from her chest. Finally the tears she was holding in fell when she blinked her eyes.
"Riku, no. No!" Why?

[That was the truth, but it suddenly made Shiki feel really guilty. Of course all of them wanted to go home.]
That sounds really selfish, huh?
no subject
No, it's not, Shiki. Of course you want him back but... [She wasn't sure how to continue. Because Somarium just liked doing things like that? At least he was safe from the insanity of the dream world? There was a plethora of reasons she could give her friend but she knew that the ease it would give would only be temporary.
Instead, she goes with what she had said in the past.] I'm sure he wouldn't like to see you sad because of him.
no subject
I think I'm going to be sad for a while, though...
no subject
That's okay, Shiki. Everyone needs a bit of time for this kind of thing.
no subject
You'd think the first time it happened would prepare me for this.

I don't know if I should move out or find a roommate. This apartment is too big for me.
[And still full of memories of Riku. But the space is perfect for her to live with her dogs since her old apartment won't be able to hold her, Ito and Alexander. Plus, with her planning to get her shop up and running as soon as the blackout was over, this apartment was perfect for storage for the clothes she has sewed and altered.]
no subject
Just give it some time, I guess? You don't really have to make a decision now.
no subject
I can do that.
[sighs.]
I just wish this stupid blackout would end soon.
[What a time to disappear, Riku. B|]

I hope you don't mind me bringing my dogs with me, Rise.
