I know it’s bad™ to ship them, but little angry girlfriend and big dork is my weakness (one of the many), so consider this all post-redemption-au whatever
Sceny między Jimem a Nomurą są naprawdę słodkie. Widać, że Nomura nie miała za wiele pozytywnych interakcji w życiu. Nic dziwnego z tym stylem życia.
To mało jak na jej zmianę stron, ale ona nigdy nie była ważnym antagonistom, który wybijał się na front, więc to nie duży problem. Wciąż lepiej niż Strickler, który był głównym złym przez pół sezonu i robił za prawą rękę Bulara w pierwszej i ledwie cokolwiek dostał.

" No, no, you don't understand! That girl is a demon! She's not my daughter! GIVE MY BABY BACK YOU DEMON -- !! "
Someone drapes a haori over Nomura, covering her view from the commotion. She doesn't know why she stands around like an idiot, she wasn't trained to be stilled when an enemy struck to hurt. But then again...even she needed a moment after almost being drowned to death by her 'mother'.
Leave it a mother's intuition to reveal the changeling's true nature...
Nomura supposes a day like this will come, for her the mother to seek the truth of her real daughter. It just didn't come to the young changeling's mind that the woman would do something as drastic as this; attempting to drown her while bombarding her with questions. If it wasn't for the passerby, maybe Nomura had to kill the woman in order to survive.
Her heart (whatever is left of it) aches. The mother didn't start out like this in the beginning, only to become suspicious after a few years raising the changeling like her own daughter. Attachment is a dangerous thing, her naivety and hope has led to this mess...
" Nomura, is it? "
The man that had given her his haori kneels down to her level. She manages to dart her eyes away from the screaming and struggling mother being carried away by other people. Reminding herself of her purpose, she gathers tears to spill, eyebrows already furrowed as she brings her hands to grasp tightly on her kimono, a mask of sorrow is about to be slid on --
Green eyes find maroon-red ones, and a sudden pressure makes the changeling freezes.
The human before her doesn't look too much out of the ordinary. He looks simple, humble even. His expression says nothing of his emotions, but Nomura notices the way his hand rests on the hilt of his sheathed sword by his hip. The earrings on his ears sway as he tilts his head a bit.
" What are you? " He doesn't beat around the bushes.
A spark of panic rises in her. Something is off with this human, and every danger senses of hers are screaming in terror.
" M-Mister...what are you talking about..? " Play innocent, play weak, play clueless --
" You're not a demon. " His voice draws on without a single tone of anything that reveals his emotions.
" Of c-course I am not, mister -- "
" Do you eat humans? "
The question almost has her stagger. No, she doesn't eat humans. Her other changeling comrades may find some pleasure in doing so, but she has never tasted a human's blood since she came out of the Darklands.
" No. "
Nomura curses herself, for allowing her voice cracks and revealing that she's not a pitiful looking child that she masked herself to be. She darts her eyes around, trying to find an opening for her escape. Fighting back is not option unless she wants more people to see her for what she is. She can scream, draw more attention for the others to come and separate her from this man --
" Is she safe? "
This one has her gaze snaps back to the man immediately.
" What? "
" The child you replaced, " his gaze never waver, " is she safe? "
For once, the truth is her saving grace. Nomura nods. " Yes. "
The man stares at her for a few more seconds before withdrawing away, his hand leaves his sword and he straightens up. Despite the clear space between them, this doesn't reassure the changeling the slightest.
Her human father comes to fetch Nomura, and she silently curses her guardian for being so late. The haori stays on as they take their leave, and she can feel the man's stare on her back like a sharp dagger.
Nomura doesn't dare to look back.
So. I was re watching all KH openings after getting sucked in the fandom. Again.
I blame KHUX Finale and E3 FF news (hey Luxord, fancy meeting you here).
So basically it's Nomura's fault. Yeah.
ANYWAY
I decided to read what the book in 3D says and
...

Riku is a 15 year old girl apparently.
WooooW, Nomura you are a gremlin genius, I'll give you that.
