Early AN: I'm doing this mainly to test the reaction level, but if I don't get enough reviews, I'll just stop now. Thank you!

"Sweetie, whats wrong?" Came the worried voice of her Stepmother.

"Nothing, just tired is all."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

Anna rushed up the stairs before an other question could be asked. She feared that if the woman pushed it, she would surely break down infront of her. Padding on into her room, she closed and locked the door behind her, resting her forehead against the light weight wood. She already knew if the rest of the islands occupants were like the little group she met today that she would surely lose her mind. She was already upset with the way she looked and the fact that she couldn't remember anything of her life before waking up in that God awful hospital. She wondered what it was like.....to have memories to look back on. She sniffled softly and went over to her bed, sitting down and looking out the window and at the beach.

"I hate it here."

A knock sounded lightly on her door nearly two hours after Anna had gotten home. Currently, she was napping lightly before dinner, but that didn't stop Gloria, the stepmother, from walking in.

"Anna? Are you okay?"

A quiet murmur told Gloria that she had been napping.

"Someone is here to see you....."

Anna sat up abruptly, turning to face her stepmother when a familiar face caught her attention. Those eyes.....she would never forget them. The raging aqua....her jaw dropped. At the very moment Riku had walked in, he came to an abrupt stop, staring at the teen. The lighting of the room was dim since the sun was going down and the silver haired boy couldn't see Anna's scars. In fact, in his opinion, she looked like a fallen angel at that very moment. Her hair was mussed a bit and her eyes held a certain sparkle, the same one that had died the moment they all had gasped at her scars. She looked lovely.

"You shouldn't be here."

"I wanted to talk to you."

Gloria took a hint and left. Deep down inside, both teens were thankful.

"What do you want?" Anna's voice was harsh...and for good reason.

"I wanted to know why you were being so rude down at the pier. Now." Riku glared at the girl, muscular arms folding neatly over his chest.

Anna frowned. "If I do remember correctly," she bit back a whole string of profanities. "you and your friends were the ones that couldn't seem to contain their excitement over my scars."

Time seemed to stop for Riku. He recalled that moment and felt terribly ashamed for what he did, but it wasn't...wasn't....normal for a girl to have scars like that! Was it so wrong that he had been shocked? She sure seemed to think so.

"Look, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave...."

"Riku. My name is Riku."

"Alright, Riku. My family and I will be having dinner soon, so you're gonna have to leave."

"Fine. I'll see you tomorrow."

"What.....!" Riku was out the door in a second, leaving no room for arguement. Anna fumed silently.

-The Next Day-

"Did you learn anything about her?"

"No, she was really short with me."

"I see...." Kairi gave a disappointed sigh. "Are you gonna try again today?"

"Yeah, I'll go over in a few minutes."

"Okay."

She was dreading today. She had no idea when Riku would be over and it just made her completely nervous. Sure, he was cute, but from what she had seen in his eyes, he was cold to her. She shivered. His eyes....they looked very well guarded. And Gods, was he hot!

"Stop it, Anna, don't think that!"

"I didn't know you talked to yourself."

Turning to look at her door, she saw Riku standing there. The color in her face immediately drained and she put up a stoic mask.

"When did you get here."

"A few minutes ago." Riku flashed her a charming smile. She melted inside.

"I see....well, what do you want?"

"To know more about you."

A pained look crossed her features and she reached up, tracing the pink scar over her cheek. Riku took notice of this and frowned. By the way she winced, he was sure it still hurt her either physically or emotionally.

"You and me both."

"What do you mean 'you and me both'? You have to know!" Riku closed the distance between them, placing himself at the foot of her bed.

"Who said I have to know?!" The young teens growled at each other. "When I woke up, I couldn't remember anything about myself!

"Thats ludacris!"

"Thats the truth! Only thing I know is that my name is Anna and that I'm 15! I woke up in a hospital on this island not knowing a damn thing!" Tears slowly began to spill over Anna's cheeks and her voice became harsh, cold.....scared. "I was horribly scarred and I slept most of my life away!"

"Calm dow-"

"No! I will not calm down!"

The young woman's body began to shake as she sobbed, striking a cord of sympathy in Riku. The silver haired teen began to scoot closer to her and took the distressed Anna into his arms, though they both hesitated at first. A gloved hand reached up and began to stroke her hair lightly, his eyes softening.

"Don't worry anymore, Anna," he murmured softly. "it'll get better."

AN: Good? Bad? Horrible? Please, let me know!
