"C'mon, eat up so we can go to the Island, I'm the others are wondering about you." He said to her casually. Angel blinked a few times as she continued eating. 'Others...?' She thought curiously. Then she remembered first waking up in a small room with a red haired girl sleeping beside her. 'That's right... I need to thank her...' She thought to herself. Angel took a few minutes to focus on eating. After she was done, she looked up at the silver haired boy.

"Alright, I'm finished." She said. Riku smirked and gently pulled her to her feet.

"Time for you to meet the rest of us then." He said before leading her out of the house and towards the Island. Angel couldn't stop thinking about how the boy never let go of her hand, not until they reached the raft that would carry them the rest of the way, over the water. Angel's eyes went wide when they got to the raft and she took a step back, re-claiming her hand. She didn't want to go near the water... Riku had already gotten into the small boat when he noticed the girl back away from the water, as if afraid of it. He blinked a few times held out a hand to her.

"Surely you can't be afraid of a little water?" He asked her, teasing the girl again. Angel glared at him once again, the face she wore quickly faded when she looked at the water. She wouldn't admit it, not on her life... Riku sighed and climbed out of the small boat.

"How can you meet the others if you don't cross the beach?" He asked her. Angel didn't look at him, even when he had spoken to her. She finally sighed after a moment and looked at the boy with soft eyes.

"I've never been in a boat and I can't swim... It's not the water I'm afriad of..it's-" She cut her sentence short and looked away from him. Riku tilted his head to the side. Angel closed her eyes.

"I can't explain it..." She answered him after a moments of silence. Riku smirked and held his hand out to her.

"Don't worry, nothing will get to you while I'm around." He said in a voice that made him sound pretty sure of himself. Angel couldn't help but chuckle and slowly raised her head to look at him.

"Promise?" She asked. He nodded.

"Promise." He answered casually. Angel smiled and took a hold of his hand, which pulled her to her feet as he stood up. He led her out of the house and down towards the shore where his raft awaited them. He climbed in first, then looked at her and once again held his hand out to her. Angel hesitated for a minute before grabbing a hold of his hand and carefully climbed into the boat. Once she was situated, Riku started rowing towards the Island where Sora and Kairi where probably already waiting for them. When they arrived Riku soon left the girl to herself in order to gather some wood for the big raft that the three of them were working on. Angel just kind of wandered the Island. Kairi noticed her and casually walked up to her, smiling brightly.

"Glad to see you up and walking around." She greeted. Angel blinked and looked at her.

"Uh..yeah..." She said quietly. "Oh, um... Thank you." She added, blushing slightly. Kairi giggled and shook her head.

"It's no big deal..really..." The red-head answered, blushing a little as well. Kairi held out her head.

"I'm Kairi, and the brunette on the sand is Sora." She introduced herself, then used her other hand to point at Sora who was resting on the beach.

"He's the one that found you lying on the beach." Kairi added. Angel smiled and gently shook the girl's hand.

"I'm Angel." She said, then released her hand.

"You're not really from around here, are you?" Kairi asked curiously. Angel smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of her head.

"I guess you could say that..." She answered nervously. Kairi smiled softly.

"So then you're a lot like me..." She murmured quietly. Angel blinked and look at her.

"Huh?" Kairi giggled and shook her head.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking out loud." Kairi said, rubbing the back of her head. Angel tilted her head, but decided it wasn't worth prying. "Anyway." Kairi began, gently taking a hold of Angel's hand and lightly pulling her. Angel got the memo and followed the girl down to the beach were the two boys were now arguing. Kairi stopped a few fett away and frowned. She then let go of Angel and hurried to the scene.

"Guys stop it! What're you to fighting about?" She spoke up, gently pulling Sora away from the angered Riku. Sora huffed, looking away from his best friend.

"Like it maters..." He muttered. Riku smirked and began walking away. Angel slowly approached him.

"What's going on?" She asked curiously. The boy stopped and looked at her.

"What do you care?" He asked coldly. Angel blinked, somewhat offended.

"We're friends..right...?" She asked quietly, her tone, hurt. That seemed to strike a nerve.

"Friends?" He asked. Angel took a step back.

"Do me a favor and stay out my business." He said to her in a harsh tone. Tears rimmed the girls eyes.

"But I thought..." She sniffed. Why was he acting like this? Riku smirked, but it wasn't his smirk. It was a twisted smirk. Even his eyes seemed to darken.

"You thought wrong." He said plainly. Sora and Kairi noticed the two just as the girl went to run towards the tree house.

"Angel!" Kairi called, but it was too late. Her heart had been shattered within minutes. Sora glared at Riku and walked up to him.

"What'd you do that for?" He asked him, his eyebrows furrowed together. Riku looked at the brunette.

"She should've stayed out of it." He answered as if thinking that he wasn't in the wrong. That angered Kairi, and she joined Sora.

"That didn't give you the right to make her cry!" Kairi yelled, "That girl obviously cares about you, and you might've just ruined that!" She yelled, causing the older teen to look at her dumbfounded. Kairi hid behind Sora.

"N-now go after her and apologize!" She said to him while behind Sora, not sure what the silver haired teen would do next. Riku looked at the sand beneath his feet and held his hand in a loose fist as if Kairi's words were a slap in the face.

"What good would it do?" He asked quietly. Kairi slowly came out from behind the brunette and offered a sweet smile.

"Riku, if she cares about you..she'll forgive you..." She said to him in a soft voice. "You didn't mean those things, you were just rilled up from the argument." Kairi continued, still smiling.

Riku thought back to the event of last night and shook his head lightly. "It won't be thst easy..." He murmured quietly. "I wouldn't be surprized if she never wanted to see me again..after the things I said." He said, closing his eyes.

Sora punched him in the shoulder, hard. But not hard enough to really do anything to him except get his attention. "That's not the Riku I know would say! C'mon man, we're all gonna go talk to her. Together." He said to the older teen.

Riku looked at him and smirked. "Fine." He answered. Then the tree of the them headed to the tree house.
