(Someone's playing Bowling For Rikus! He isn't small or lanky, whoever thought "Hey, let's use this child as a bowling ball!!" was obviously large and very muscle-heavy. Instead of that weird ensemble most Rikus wear, his lengthy robe is pure white. Guess it's no surprise that it's stained, then! Blood is pouring down his body and soaking into his clothes, which are barely shut. He's only got torn jeans underneath. Once he sits up, the blood smearing on the floor, his hand grips his neck. He is bleeding; and there's the source; two big gaping holes on the side of his throat! Riku is struggling to breathe as he grabs onto the wall, covering it with bloody handprints and smears.)

C-crap...

Hey mister! Are--

[Okay he is definitely not okay. Hikari does the first thing she can think of and casts Cure on him to stabilize him at least before pulling off her denim jacket and mpoving towards him to press it against the holes in his throat.]

What happened....?

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(Riku looks up at her, not recognizing her but realizing she means him no harm. His eyes close sharply when the jacket touches his flesh, and he shudders.)

Just... stupid hunters.

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

Hunters?

[The nine-year-old blinks a bit as she puts as much pressure on the neck wounds as she can without causing him to stop breathing. Yay first aid training with Mom.]

I..i know you don't know me, but I...couldn't let you bleed to death here...my name's Hikari.

...and sorry if it hurts....

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(Hikari? Light, huh... he lays a bloody hand on her arm, trying to tell her it's okay. He can't speak too much, it hurts. The Cure starts to slow the gushing of blood, so he's starting to become a bit stronger. It's plenty weird for him to recover that quickly, sure, but circumstances are circumstances.)

[She gets the idea and sits back, very carefully removing the jacket and setting it aside, keeping a hand on it in case she needed to use it again. Oh she was going to get in trouble if Mom and Dad found out she ruined her jacket like this, she was sure of it. She just sat quietly and watched him in case he needed more help.]

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(He stares at the jacket blankly before grabbing it and brushing his hand threw it. It glows a light red, and like a video going in rewind, the blood seems to disappear, drawn out from the jacket into thin air.)

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[what the---]

How did you do that?

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(He looks at her, not really trusting himself to talk, but he knows he doesn't have telepathy. After a moment, he speaks, voice quiet.)

Time spring. I just... unwound it.

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[blinkblink. she didn't quite understand, but was willing to accept his answer.]

Okay...thank you.

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(Riku nods slightly, pressing his bare hand against his neck. The wounds have begun to heal, like he had sipped from a potion.)

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[She watches, fascinated. She didn't know anything could heal that fast without more magic than she'd used. Then she realizes she's staring and looks aside with a sheepish laugh.]

Sorry, Mom always said it was rude to stare.

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(He realizes she's uncomfortable almost seconds after she speaks, and waves a hand.)

It's okay, I'm used to it.

Can't keep my eyes open, so heading to bed now ^_^

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Hikari nods and looks around at the blood everywhere for a bit before speaking up.]

You can do that weird time stuff and clean this up too right?

[lunaphase.livejournal.com]

[What terrible luck that she's come across this scene, and is making no move to help. Simply stands there with her hood up, but snorts once.]

i had to go too! |D

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(Riku nods.)

In a minute.

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(He hears that, and raises his eyes to look at her, still holding his neck. It's not enough pressure to stop the bloodflow, or trigger the healing process.)

[lunaphase.livejournal.com]

[How the mighty have fallen, though he isn't quite mighty yet, now is he. Smirks in the shadow of her hood and crosses her arms, content to simply watch.]

A little trouble?

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Hikari nods and waits. She'll ask about the Hunters he mentioned when he's a little stronger.

She's not sure why she wants to make sure they don't get him, and she knows that even if she knew why, she couldn't be there to protect him all the time...like he'd want to be protected by a kid anyway. Kiddie crush go xD]

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(He's not too shocked by the callous way she's just standing around--but she smells different. And her time spring sure is odd. Standing on shaky knees, he keeps that regular Riku Glare.)

Just... a-a little.

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(After a few minutes pass by, he lifts his hand and flicks it to the side, the blood going in rewind and disappearing into the air. Well, it just looks like it is, but he's really getting it back. He starts to straighten. His voice regains the strength known in most older Rikus.)

Thanks. I owe you one.

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Hikari stands and smiles, shaking her head.]

You're welcome. You don't really owe me anything...[But if he insisted she wouldn't say no heh. She cocks her head to the side as she realizes something.]

You know I didn't get your name yet.

[lunaphase.livejournal.com]

Are you sure you should even be standing in that state? [Always was prideful though, it seems.]

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do. I could've died.

(He holds out his bare hand, before realizing exactly what he's doing and rummaging through his jeans for his white gloves. Once he's got them on, he extends his hand to shake again.)

I'm ... (Wait, what was his true name? Ri, or Ku? ... he hesitates, before just mashing both of them.) Riku.

[bloodsacrificed.livejournal.com]

(He tries to move on. If he stops, he might end up begging her for help, and he can't afford that. He'd be in her debt. He's in enough debts.)

I don't... care.

Poor kid needs more friends, all she has on her flist is her mother right now XD

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

{Hikari shakes his hand.]

Nice to meet you Riku. Um...if you don't have to be somewhere right away, I saw a kitchen over that way, want to have some cookies?
