Disclaimer: None is mine. wishes that Riku was hers
A/N: My first KH fic! Yes, I realize that Alice is really much younger, but I decided to make her older. Enjoy. And by the way, this takes place after the games, I guess. And I don't know what happens, but I'm gonna say all the world returned, and they were all linked together.
Chapter 1Beginnings
"What the f--?"
"Shhh!"
Riku looked up, rubbing his head. Dammit. That had hurt. All his pain vanished as he found himself staring into clear blue eyes. They dazzled him.
"Are you alright?" The girl whispered, her expression worried. Riku found himself speechless. He broke eye-contact with her, his breath a little unsteady.
"I- I'm fine"," Riku answered, keeping his voice down. The girl seemed relieved. She looked very beautiful to Riku, and her only fault seemed to be an ugly blue-checkered dress. Besides that, she was thin, had long, straight blond hair, and entrancing eyes that shone like jewels.
The girl nodded in the opposite direction, "I'm sorry... I was in such a hurry... There are black bug-like demons after me. But they're much larger than bugs."
Riku blinked, "Heartless?"
The girl looked surprised, "I-is that their name? I'll remember that. I'm Alice, by the way."
Riku nodded, standing up. They were about the same height... Riku figured they must have similar ages, "Riku. How old are you?"
"18," Alice answered, shaking Riku's hand. So she was a year younger than him, "And you?"
Riku sat down, "I'm 19, Miss Alice." Riku was usually formal to those who didn't know him well. Wakka used to tease him about that. Then again, he could kick Wakka's ass anytime...
Alice blushed, "Please... just Alice. Riku... that's a nice name."
"Thanks," Riku answered, this time forgetting to keep his voice down. All of a sudden, heartless materialized in front of them. One of them lashed out at Alice, slashing her side. She fell over, breath ragged.
Without thinking, Riku picked her up, and ran. The many passages of Wonderland were a challenge. He wasn't sure where he was going, until he got to the rabbit hole. He locked the doors behind him, and laid Alice down. He figured he only had a few minutes.
"Seraphim of the Light!" He exclaimed in a mystical voice. A pair of white, fluffy wings tore through his shirt. Bare-chested, his muscles were chiseled, and firm. He bent over, his white hair falling into his eyes, and picked Alice up.
He took off from the ground, just as the Heartless burst through the door. They shrieked with rage, as they saw their prey getting away. Riku closed his eyes, "Wind shield us..."
A white, semi-translucent, bubble formed around Riku and Alice. Riku flew around obstacles, heading for Traverse Town. It wasn't a great idea, but he didn't have a better one at the moment.
---
Alice, who had passed out from the pain in her side, reawakened to find herself being carried by a handsome, bare-chested man. She almost gasped, but then realized it was Riku. He didn't seem to realize that she was awake. His blue eyes glittered, and his white hair blew back from his face.
Alice could feel her face grow hot, but she closed her eyes, relaxing in Riku's arms. Her side (coincidentally?) felt a little better.
A/N: Short chappie. But anyway, there will be some Sora and Kairi in this fic, so don't worry! smiles devilishly This is really a just-for-fun, fluffy kind of fic, keep in mind. So the ages are definitely not accurate, I'm guessing.
