Chapter 6 (A/N: There's that many already? o.O)

After Riku was done with the "meeting" he'd had with Sora and Kairi, which was basically the same it had been yesterday, only more thinking on how they were going to help the new girl get her memory back, Riku went to the place the new girl was staying. As he walked up, he saw her pull back the curtains, the shirt he and his mother had sent already on her. It looked pretty on her, he had to admit...

Riku went up to the door, and tapped on it lightly to tell her he was there, then entered.

"So," he said, after leaning against the door-frame for a few seconds watching her trying to figure out how to get the boot on, "how're the clothes my mother sent?"

"Hi, Riku," the girl replied, not looking up. "They fit great! But," she gave a tug on the boot for the eighth time since Riku got there, "I can't figure out how to get this boot on. I probably look like such an idiot to you, right now."

Riku chuckled, walked over to her, grabbed her ankle, and pushed the boot on.

"There," he said. "Simple when you know how. I don't know why my Mom bought those, though. She hates those boots. Oh, well, you try."

"Alright," the girl said, then swiftly and easily put the other boot on the other foot. "I guess I'm a fast learner."

"I guess," Riku replied, not wanting to tell her that she really did look like an idiot when he first went in. So, he changed the subject. "Hey, you want a... uh... tour of the islands? Er, that is, if you have the strength!"

Okay, so he was just looking for an excuse to spend time with the girl. But like he'd ever admit that, not even to himself!

"I think I have enough strength for a short walk, but I honestly don't thing I can handle a tour," she told him.

"Okay, a short walk it is. I'll go tell the doctor."

"I'll be here."

Riku went to find the doctor, who was on his way with the girl's medicine. What she needed it for, Riku wasn't going to ask as it wasn't his business, and he honestly couldn't care less.

"Hey, doctor," Riku said upon running across him.

"Hello, Riku," the doctor said.

"Uh, the new girl said she might have the strength to take a little walk, so is it alright if I... What are you grinning at?"

And, indeed, the doctor was grinning.

"Oh," the doctor said, "nothing important. I just should have known from yesterday how stubborn she would be. Alright, yes, you can take her on that walk. But I want you to keep an eye on her. If she appears to be in any way tired, you stop for a rest, got it? And take something with you to eat, we don't want her using up too much strength, all right??"

Riku did his best not to roll his eyes. Most of that was a major "Duh," but Riku didn't say that.

"Yessir," Riku said instead(A/N: ACK!!! Rhyming!!!), "I know, I got it, I won't do anything stupid."

"Good, and if she says she's not in the least bit tired, find a way to get her to rest."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. And if I see any strangers, don't talk to them. Come straight home."

"Ha, ha. Very funny. Go, you little brat!" The doctor made a mock-swing at Riku's head with the medicine, then put said meds into Riku's hands. "Make sure she takes that, too, got it?"

"I know, I know! And I'm going!" Riku laughed and started jogging back to the hut/house/whatever-the-heck-these-guys-live-in that the girl was in. But first, he detoured to get something to eat on the walk, following the doctor's orders.

When he got back to the hut(A/N: I'm calling it a hut from now on, because "house" takes longer to type and I'm lazy. :P), Riku saw the girl staring out the window at the ocean.

Once again, Riku knocked lightly on the door, and entered. She didn't even notice, so Riku took the time to bundle up the food he had gotten so they could carry it easier. Okay, so he'd be doing the carrying, but never mind that. He also put the meds into the package, and still she hadn't noticed. Riku finally walked up to her, a look of concern on his face.

"What's wrong?" he asked. The girl didn't even blink.

"I was just wondering where I came from, and about my past," she told him. "I still can't remember a thing. I thought I was just so tired yesterday that the memories wouldn't come to me, but now? They still won't come, even though I have the strength. It's like a wall is in my mind, blocking them off. It's maddening."

"Well, I'm sure you'll remember eventually," Riku said, trying to sound comforting. "Anyway, how about that walk?"

The girl turned to look at him, smiled that half-smile she reserved for him, and nodded. "I'd like that, thanks."

She walked up to him, and he resisted the urge to take her hand, and they went on that walk.


A/N: Well, that was odd... Kinda boring... And longer than it was in handwriting. Usually it's the other way around, but I added some stuff and well, yah. So. Wasn't it kinda cute, though? "Resisted the urge to take her hand" and so on? Oooh, next chapter is the one Riku fans will probably hate. I'm still not spillin'!! You'll have to read it yourself!

Teek: ((grabs me by the shoulders and starts shaking me violently)) WHAT'S WITH YOU AND SUSPENSE?!?!
