Chapter five: Angel's healing touch

"I hope he'll be OK." 'It's all my fault.' Skye thought, 'He might die and it's all my fault.' Leon, Yuffie and Ellone showed up. Skye's mother embraced her. "Thank goodness, you're still alive." "She is. But, Riku might not." Sora said sadly.

"OK. Which one of you is Skye?" Dr. Aerith Gainesborough asked. "That would be me." Skye stood up and followed the doctor to the ward Riku was in. "It seems he wants to talk to you alone." Skye walked into the ward Dr. Gainesborough pointed at. "He's in there."

Skye took a deep breath and closed the door. "Hey Riku! I'm so..." "Its OK, Skye. You don't have to apologize." Riku said, struggling to sit up. "Still hurts, huh?" Skye asked, sitting in the chair next to the bed. "Yeah, how'd you...? Great, they're watching." Riku pointed at the door.

"They are so predictable." Skye said, turning in time to spot one chestnut brown spike. Riku nodded. "They're always like that."

Outside of the room...

"They saw us! Sora!" Kairi screamed. "Hey! Calm down, you two! Please!" Yuna begged. "We want to hear what they're saying." Tidus added. Then, they heard laughter from both Skye and Riku.

"What are they laughing at?" Yuffie asked. "Us," Leon answered emotionless, "They kept quiet so they could hear us. And they're doing a very good job on that." "It's supposed to be the other way around though." Sora whined.

"All of you can come out now." Riku said. "Besides, it was predictable that they would choose this time to spy." Skye eyed Kairi very carefully when they popped up. Then, Ellone walked in. "Squall, I told you it was a bad idea." "Sis, why do you always have to be right?" Leon snorted, "And it's Leon, not Squall."

"Why were you spying anyway?" Riku asked suspiciously. 'Oh no. I think I know what they've got in their minds. They think I like Riku.' Skye shook her head. 'They think I like Skye.' Riku crossed his arms.

Blood gushed out of the wound on Riku's back again. Skye put her hand over the open wound and concentrated hard. "Skye! What are you doing?" Kairi asked. A blue light surrounded and healed the wound.

"That's not a healing spell. The aura would be green." Sora explained. "Then, what did you do?" Yuna asked. "The blue light that healed his wound is called Angel's healing touch. Skye was born with that ability." Ellone answered. 'Angel's healing touch? That's sounds more like Skye than she thinks. Not again. I've gotta keep those thoughts out of my head for now.' Riku thought, looking at Skye from the corner of his eye.

"Angel's healing touch? I think I've heard about it before from my friend Lulu." Yuna muttered. "Thanks, Skye." Riku said Skye, who shook her head. "I should be thanking you, Riku, for saving my life. I guess I owe you for that." "Hey! At least, Riku's still alive, right?!" Sora yelled.

Everyone nodded. "Well, when he's gets better, let's have a party!" Tidus declared, "Well?" "It depends on Riku though." Skye said, pointing at Riku. "Hey! The party's for you too!!" Yuffie shrieked. "No! It isn't. It's for Riku! Got it?" Skye used her snappy tone.

"Oh dear. Not again." Ellone left the room to talk to Dr. Gainesborough. "Yuffie, you don't want to know what she does when she's pissed off." Leon whispered in her ear. "Got that right." Skye muttered. "Skye, you know you're acting like Leon now. That's scaring me." Kairi said, hiding behind Sora.

"She's right, you know." Tidus said, sitting down next to Yuna. Skye gave him her infamous death glare. He gulped and said nothing else. "So, Riku. Do you want to have the party or not?" Sora asked, "It's entirely up to you." 'I hope he does want to have the party. That way, we can get those two together.' Kairi giggled. "What's so funny, Kairi?" Yuna asked.

"Nothing." Kairi choked. Riku's bottom lip twitched, 'They're planning something. Darn, I can't read their faces. So, I have no idea what they're gonna do.'

Sarah: SetsuntaMew, sorry about the last chappie. Please. -begs on knees- DON'T TAKE MY HEAD!

Sienna: What's your problem now?

Jasmine: Sarah's crazy now.

Sarah: I heard that. Guess SetsuntaMew's gonna be happy that Riku's still alive.

Riku: Guess so.

All three: What the heck are you doing here?

Riku: Nothing. I just popped out to check on you three like Leon ordered me to.

Please r&r.
