Lily: Oh right! Five reviews means new chapter!! ^^ Please keep reviewing to see what happens to our dear Riku! Okay, this will be the last time Lily- chan will bother youse in this fic. Just so you know, all the characters belong to their rightful owners and LinLin's mine. Also, if you want the story to keep going, review per chapter. Each chapter would depend on how much it gets posted. As long as I get 5 each time, I'll keep writing and posting! Yay! Plus you can only post one each chapter (hey, it's only fair~~~) And Kingdom Hearts belongs to the people of Squaresoft. Bless them, dammit!! Enough blabber and start reading and reviewing!!

Tenshi No Riku

Chapter One

Tenshi No Kairi

Part One

By: Lily

"Were those horrid flashbacks just a nightmare?" he thought to himself as he woke up with a headache.

"Finally you woke up!" a young fifteen old girl laughed.

Riku felt his lips smile behind the oxygen mask, and he chuckled.

"Look at my dress for the festival today!" she said as she got a small handful of her green leaf dress.

"Isn't it pretty? Kaasan said that I'll finally lead the traditional dance until I get married!" she said excitingly.

Riku felt his smile drop as she said 'marriage'.

"It.suits you, LinLin, it really does." he tried to say as cheerfully as she was.

"Riku, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"No, no. It's not your fault, LinLin."

She sighed as she took a few steps forward towards the tank he was in.

"Riku, I wish you could watch me dance." she said silently, looking down, slightly blushing.

He now felt some heat on his cheeks.

"I wish I could too, but," as he knocked on the glass filled with the healing liquid Chip and Dale and Donald Duck had made, "this glass is as hard as a diamond, and I haven't completely healed."

The young girl sighed again, and rushed to the tank and stared her blue eyes at his tiger green eyes.

"Riku, do you think it'll be okay if I go ahead and dance for you?" she whispered to him.

He looked at the female before him from her beautiful yet familiar blue eyes all the way to the tips of her toes.

He just now how much she has grown over the years and how much he has.n't.

Then he remembered over-hearing someone about the only thing that will affect him is his age.

His health needs so much healing, his body isn't stable enough for him to grow and age.

Then he sighed again and shook his head.

"No, you practiced it too hard to waste it on me."

"Wha? But I want to, Riku! You helped me with the hardest parts!!"

He chuckled a bit as he looked around the area, then he saw the small picture of Sora and Kairi with a paupou fruit between them.

He closed his eyes before jealousy could take over.again.

"Still.It's for your traditions. You can do it AFTER the festival if you wish." he smiled at her as he opened to meet hers.

"Okay, if only your sure~~~~" she said as she moved away

"Selphie," said an older woman with long hair and with the same blue eyes as the younger girl had, "where's that daughter of mine? She needs to get ready."

Selphie, who was much older, was wearing the legendary SeeD uniform, her hair was the same style and yet it was longer than when she was thirteen years old.

"Ano..isn't she already ready?"

The older woman laughed.

"Not for that!! LinLin's suitor!"

Selphie arched her brown brow.

"A suitor? Isn't she a little young for that?"

"Of course not! She's the daughter of a future queen!" she laughed.

"Fine, I'll get her." Selphie said, a bit angry. "Oh, and Kairi, you have a stain on your dress." As she left and while Kairi was screaming and yelling.

End of Chapter One.
