From: SetsuntaMew ?userid=476098)Oh wow, I really really like this! Don't be embarassed about your work; I think it's really good! So continue it son
From: Cold-Blade ?userid=438625)Stupid error thing didn't let me review faster. But I still got it! ::pats self on back:: Great chapter though. Where are Riku and Tessa going? Keep writing!-niki :)
AN- Thanks for the reviews you two. hugs self But, SetsuntaMew...son? Ummm... actually it would be daughter, but its okay. I was supposed to be a boy. My mom was hoping for a boy, and she got a girl, me, instead. Thank you for your encouraging words though, SetsuntaMew (wow, long name.. i should be talking!). I do get embarrassed still though. No stopping it. Taking a Creative Writing class in my junior year of high school (third year for those that go by numbers) kind of helped me get over my writing shyness. I mean, you write and show-n'-tell to get a grade or fail. So, that kind of motivated me. I didn't want to fail. I'll put you on the list of "Boo Protects." He's been busy with Niki though. Boo has been telling me of the good time he has had with you, Niki. He's been telling me stories of : tequila on the beach, sunglasses, water almost killing him... yeah, he's been having a good ol' time. I'm glad that you didn't give up with that review error, Niki. I would have been sad if I didn't get a review from my loyal fan. Thanks! And where they are going? Heh, well you'll see.
Okay now on to the good stuff, such as: I don't own KH or Boo from Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, though I act like I do.. ;) And I'm sorry I havent' been updating for a few days and I am sorry this is a short chappie, but I couldn't fit a huge chapter in because I am afraid it would cause an overload. Anyhoo, this story is MINE. I've heard something about people plagiarising other peoples stories and claiming that they are theirs. shakes head
Chapter 6
Riku's Rescue
ooRiku's POV after chapter 4 and before 5. Why didn't I put it in between? Because I thought it would be cooler this way, so na-na-na-boo-boo.-AN oo
Riku knew he had to do something, so he had brought the girl to the inn. The elderly maid that scuttled in, after a loud knock, looked once at her and nodded. Rubbing sleep from her eyes, she led the way upstairs. After he laid her on the bed, the old maid held her hands out for something. Riku shook his head in confusion. Does she want money? He held out some money, but the old hag just knocked his hands away.
"Clothes," she simply said giving him the evil eye for his slowness.
"Oh, but don't you-"
"No, we don't have any clothes to adorn her with. I'm sorry, unless you want it to cost extra?" Riku shook his head in negation. Jeesh, she's bitchy. I'll have to remember to not wake he up at nighttime. (Quite the change from the chipper, NICE g'ma from the former chapter, eh? I wouldn't want to wake anyone like that either. -AN) Riku rummaged through his bag briefly before coming up with an extra change of clothing. The maid grabbed the clothes without thanks, and shooed him out. She would need to strip her of the wet clothing to prevent pneumonia and other illnesses.
He checked on her in those three days a lot more than he would admit. He was curious about the girl and Riku had nothing else to do in the town. Sora wasn't there, therefore, he didn't need to be there. His only reason for staying there was because SHE was there. When he had brought the girl to the inn he didn't actually look at her features during that time of desperation.
Now, that he went into the room and found her holding her fist, he was reminded of Kairi. But, she was more beautiful. Her eyes shimmered with both cunning and awarness like a hawk. And her reddish-brown hair was chopped so that it cunningly fit the shape of her face. His appraisal stopped when he saw the girl's body. Her thin body was supported by a weak frame. He covered his horror at her undernourishment. She obviously wasn't fed well. She held her body like she couldn't hold herself up any longer. The short burst of adrenaline was fading fast. He was surprised that she was still standing.
Riku saw the horrible bruises along her whole body (at least from what was visible), and immediately regretted not having a potion. Her eyes were swollen nearly shut. It hurt him to see such a delicate and beautiful body bruised and broken.
During her fever, the maid told him that she had thrown up three times. The maid voiced her concern on a bruise that marred her temple. Riku had a sinking feeling that it was a concussion and he didn't have to have the maid confirm.
Riku remembered when he had accidentally given Sora one when they were playing some ages ago. After puking and several days of rest, Sora turned out fine. Where are you, Sora?
Talking briefly the maid came in, did her job and left. Soon after he followed. Now, he left to prepare the ship for the journey ahead of them. Riku hadn't planned on picking up a companion for the journey, but he DID believe that the girl wasn't from here. Her honest confusion, the odd clothing, and mannerisms. But, he couldn't get rid of this nagging feeling of how she reminded him of Kairi even though she didn't remotely look like her. Riku felt relaxed around her like he did with Kairi. She was just as ornery and sociable like her, but then again.. not like her. He knew that she wasn't Kairi and never will be. She could never be the girl that he once loved and competed for. Shaking his head he went back to organizing things on the ship because it was to be a long journey.
