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?

[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.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[he's walking closer, his boots loud against the floor.]

I never would've thought the first person I ran into when I returned would be someone so easy to mess with. Thanks for that.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[pushing himself to stand again hurts. he can feel something trickling down his back, can smell the scent of his own blood in the air. he has enough energy for one more cure but holds back, torn between that or an attack at 'Kai' directly.]

Good for you. Now why don't you get the hell away from me.

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

I don't know, maybe I should go string you up somewhere so people know I've returned.

[he sounds so thoughtful, casual, like he's trying to decide what he wants for dinner.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Excuse me?

[did he hear that right? he's going to start easing his way down the hall in what he hopes is the right direction, keeping braced against the wall. if 'Kai' comes close enough, Riku's decided he'll blast him after all.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

You must not have heard of me. Not too surprising. What do you think, hang you from the rafters in the main room by your arms, carve a nice little "Kai was here" into your chest?

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think that will be necessary.

[his expression clearly states what he's thinking: this guy is crazy...]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

You sure? I know a couple people would be really happy to see it. The princess, for one. Oh, I bet Ri would be ecstatic.

[he takes a few steps closer, not trying to hide the noise at all.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[there's some faint recognition to that name, and he has an idea who he means by princess. he's really wishing he still had the ability to create portals now.]

Positive.

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

That's too bad.

[why yes, the darkness is creeping closer again.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he feels that, and quickly turns toward the sound of 'Kai's' voice, his arm outstretched to fire a dark aura at close range.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[and he'll sink into the floor; enjoy hearing that hit the wall further away.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he doesn't enjoy the sound at all. as good as his hearing has gotten, that should have struck home. he doesn't have any magic left, but he still has his Keyblade. he's very aware of being outmatched however, and is going to simply make a break for it, one hand to the wall. if he can just reach another person, surely...]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[there's a wall of shadow swiftly blocking that particular exit, Gem strolling casually along behind Riku.]
