in every corner

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[there's a scream from down this hallway as some poor soul is consumed by the shadows -- not Heartless, simply moving shadows. as the last dying gurgle escapes the writhing mass, a figure rises out of it slowly, darkness rolling and dripping off him like smoke and water. the figure is fully dressed in dark leather; heavy boots, pants, and a lovely leather jacket with a black wifebeater beneath it. he breathes the darkness in, out, a slow and dangerous smile making its way onto his face as he takes in the sight of the hallway. a hand goes to his pocket, a cigarette is pulled out and put to his lips, lit with a flick of his other hand. he runs that hand through his dark blue hair afterward, red eyes bright with malicious intent.]

Well now... didja miss me, dressing room?

There is! You can't tell me you don't feel it!

[he knows he felt something, wishes he could prove it.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

I don't feel anything, and all I see is you waving your keyblade around!

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

It's there.

[he's going to suddenly lunge toward what feels like a wall of darkness in front of him, Keyblade slashing in an attempt to hit something.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[and he moves back more as the darkness moves completely out of the way. if he'd been telling the truth about there not being anything there, this would probably look fairly comical.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he may not be able to see it, but he can still feel it as he moves. even if for some reason Kai doesn't see or sense it, he can, and he's going to follow where it goes, still trying to attack.]

Talk to me so I know where you are!

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[it's not even trying to attack back right now, just continuing to avoid him as narrowly as possible, even splitting where it would have otherwise been cut to allow the blade through.]

I'm far enough away, don't worry.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[it won't be long before he's agitated enough that he follows up a slash with a sudden burst of dark aura]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[that wasn't something he'd anticipated, and there's an explosion as the aura meets the shadows taunting Riku.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

There! I knew there was something!

[oh gee, did he surprise you. he knows he didn't hit the wall, because that sounds different.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you'd do something like that.

[and now the darkness is actually attacking.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

What-?

[he's quickly distracted by the odd comment, throwing up a dark shield before returning the attack]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[the darkness seems never-ending, pulled from the shadows themselves and unrelenting in their assault. "Kai" has gone silent again, taking out a fresh cigarette and lighting it as he watches.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he hasn't realized that Kai isn't quite what he seems; the darkness has all his attention now, endurance being put to the test. he'll use dark auras now and then, but for the most part conserves his energy for the actual combat.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[which is really too bad, as this isn't like Heartless, there's not an end to the enemy; especially when Riku's not even attacking the actual enemy.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he still doesn't actually know what it is he's fighting, aside from that it seems to be made of darkness. he can keep this up for quite a while, but any hits he takes will be direct since he can't see when to block.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[the longer the battle goes on, the more razor-like the edges of that darkness will become~. it may be a hint that "Kai" is doing nothing to help, and even more of one when he starts chuckling quietly.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he'll cure as needed, unable to tell that Kai isn't helping until he hears that chuckle, his ear turning toward the sound automatically before a look of confusion shows on his face, with a hint of suspicion as his attention is diverted.]

Are you laughing?

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[enjoy that spear of darkness grazing your back, in that case.]

Possibly!

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he jerks away with a hiss of pain, throwing up another dark shield]

What could you possibly have to laugh at?

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

You, idiot.

[the laughter is still in his voice, and the darkness is starting to back off a bit.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he's keeping the shield up, but has to brace an arm against the wall as he narrows his eyes in Kai's direction.]

It was you the whole time, wasn't it.

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

You're a little slow, aren't you? Though I guess it can't be helped seeing as you can't see how fucking obvious it is that I'm not Kai.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Then why did you say you were!

[he's aggravated less aggravated at being called slow than he is over someone taking advantage of his lack of sight to toy with him so much.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Because I could.

[whoops, tendril of darkness whipping out at his lower back.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[that makes him jerk with a surprised cry of pain and drop to one knee, the dark shield being flung up again immediately after. it's getting harder to keep it going, most of his energy having already been used in the fighting.]
