A/N: I don't own any rights etc. OC is mine.. And I haven't got this story planned out yet :D - had to share that, so you don't expect it to be completed any time soon (unless I start developing a solid plot and stuff, which in that case; I'd let you know)

Chapter 01: Her Saviors

As Riku sat down next to his two friends Sora and Kairi, he found himself being captivated by the beautiful sunset that cast it's red and pink light down across the large ocean. It was their second last day staying at the luxury hotel that their parents' brought them to, and now he was grateful to be able to sit back and enjoy the evening after Kairi dragged both him and Sora all around the city.

"Sora you lazy bum. Don't start falling asleep while I'm talking to you." Kairi frowned at Sora, pulling Riku's attention from the view and looking at the two of them.

"Give me a break Kairi. You've been dragging us around all day and I'm pooped." Sora told her as he yawned. Riku placed his hand over his mouth, hiding his smile and trying his best not to laugh at the two.

~ It's been a year since they were finally reuinited and they still bicker and flirt like they're ten years old... That, or an old married couple... ~

At this thought, Riku couldn't help but to start laughing at the two of them. Sora just gave him a confused look and Kairi frowned at him. "You's haven't changed. Still like when we were kids, and still acting like some old married couple." Riku fell onto his back and continued to laugh as the two of them looked at each other and blushed, quickly looking away all embarrassed.

As he sat back up, Riku spotted something not quite right with the image before him. There was a body bopping in the water, and it wasn't moving. He quickly stood up and before Sora could ask him what was wrong, he was already diving into the water and swimming to the lifeless body.

"Oh my god," Kairi breathed in with her hand over her mouth as she tried to will away the shock of what Riku was going after, "Sora, go get help!" She practically yelled, urgency was plain in her voice, and Sora nodded, running in the opposite direction, back to the hotel they were staying at.

Riku wrapped his left arm under the small and frail looking body before him and started swimming back to shore where a worried Kairi was waiting.

"Are they still breathing?" She asked him when he placed the body on the sand. Studying the small body, she could see it was a young girl, about her age.

Riku put his ear to the girl's chest, listening for the sound of her heart. There it was. Ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump. It was faint, but it was there, but she wasn't taking in much air at all. If he had to guess, she wasn't breathing full-stop. "Alive, but not really breathing."

He wasted no time in getting the heavy layers of clothes off of her chest and started giving the girl CPR, remembering the make-up training Kairi gave him and Sora because of all the school they missed out on.

After what felt like an incredibly long two minutes, the girl coughed and gulped in a large amount of air. She looked frightened as she noticed the two figures above her and tried to back away, failing and landing on her back.

"It's okay, you're safe." Kairi told her softly, holding her hand out to her. The young girl looked unconvinced for a moment, before taking Kairi's hand and sitting back up.

"What's your name?" Riku spoke out, trying to be quiet and gentle as Kairi had been. The girl just shook her head and inched slowly towards Kairi and away frrom him. This made Kairi giggle and she put her hand on the girl's hand.

"It's okay, Riku here is the one who pulled you out of the water and gave you CPR." She explained to the girl, who suddenly flushed in the face and buried her face into her hands. Riku looked confused, obviously not understanding what Kairi understood easily.

~ Maybe he just doesn't get it cause he's not a girl... ~ Kairi thought to herself. "Don't worry, he doesn't even get it." Kairi giggled again, and the girl looked up at him, cheeks flushed, and her expression was a very shy one.

She suddenly leaned across to him and latched onto his shirt, placing her face into his chest. "Riku..." She mumbled, but it was loud enough for the two of them to hear her.

"HEEY!" Sora called out and tried to keep his feet moving, the paramedics close behind him, "I got help." He stopped near them and looked down at the small figure clinging to Riku. ~ Thank god, ~ he thought, ~ I was worried something bad. ~

The paramedics went passed him and knelt down, trying to pry the girl off of Riku. "Please miss, we need to see if you're okay." If Sora hadn't told them that it wasn't the red-haired girl or silver-haired boy, they probably would've mistaken who was the one unconcious, as Riku looked as shaken up and pale as the girl.

The girl, however, just kept shaking her head and clinging to Riku, repeating his name over and over, clearly not wanting to move away from him.

"Don't worry," he whispered down into her ear, "I promise I won't let go of you." This made the girl stop in place. She looked up at him and for the first time, Riku noticed her eyes. Her left eye was a golden yellow colour, and her right was a greenish-blue.

She nodded and turned around in his lap, making sure to stay against him the whole time. The paramedics got to work with checking her pulse and all the standard procedures were carried out.

By now, a group of people were standing around them, all clearly worried. Among those, were the trio's parents. Sora's mother joined the small group on the ground, asking the paramedics if she was okay.

"She should be fine but we'd like to take her back with us just in case." he answered. This answer made the girl push backwards into Riku even more.

"Can we come, too?" Kairi asked, noticing the girl's response. The man just shook his head and apologised. "But the girl isn't going to be going anywhere without us. Why won't you let us come?" She had a nagging suspicion that this guy wasn't sharing everything, but pushed it to the back of her mind.

"It just doesn't work like that miss. I'm sorry." He bowed his head, but his voiced stayed the same, calm but kind of distant.

"Then she stays with us, and we'll have our friend look at her when we get home tomorrow," Sora's mum told him, "she's a qualified doctor, you know?" ~ Even his mum can see that the girl doesn't want to go ~ Kairi thought, and wondered how long it would take them to let her stay.

"But ma'am-" the man started to say something but Sora's mum put her hand up to silence him.

"Don't 'ma'am' me. My name is Eve. And no 'but's or excuses. We can't go, so she's going to be looked after by another doctor. It's simple. Your service is no longer required." She gave him a short but stern lecture and the man gave up, telling his team to pack up and they left.

After they got back to the hotel, and were in the room they were all sharing, the girl finally spoke, something other than Riku's name. "Ayame." Her voice was quiet, and sounded dry from lack of drink, but the others could hear her easily enough.

"Is that your name?" Sora asked her, grinning.

Ayame nodded and hid into Riku, clearly not used to Sora's bubbly attitude yet.

A/N: I apologise if this is a bit short, but it seems really long in Note Pad. Yes, I've been reduced to using N.P while we're fixing up my PC. I'd give you all some of my other FanFics to read, but sadly I can't access them until we've finished fixing the PC and put all my files back onto it. That's why I started writing this one yesterday.

And before you complain, possibly, in future: I sometimes like re-using names in my stories. Example: Ayame is going to be used in one of the stories I already started :) Not saying any more on that though.

Oh, and if anyone has a good idea for a title, please don't hesitate to let me know :D thanks in advance, and be sure to check out my other stories.
