--yes, I know. You don't need to tell me again.

[there's a woman with green-tinted skin standing behind Riku, a slender hand coming to rest on his shoulder. his armor immediately springs up as his expression darkens, though whether it's because of the touch or something else is up for debate.

he steps away as a burst of green fire engulfs her, leaving him alone in the hall- or almost. there's a black crow swooping in to rest on his shoulder as he starts toward one of the common areas.]

I don't want to.

[he pulls away, movings his hands over his chest protectively.]

[malevolamente.livejournal.com]

I don't believe I gave you a choice.

[he won't get very far, as Riku grabs him from behind.]

Hold still. You're not going anywhere.

[littlest-prince.livejournal.com]

Let go! I don't want to!

[he's going to put up quite the fight, but alas, he is only about six.]

[she's bringing the orb of her staff closer to his face, the stone starting to glow a bright green that should be seeming to fill Kai's vision like smoke. it has the aura of something incredibly enchanting, inviting a touch.]

Don't worry, child. You won't even feel a thing when we extract your Heart.

[Riku grunts, doing his best to hold Kai while not looking at that staff. He's seen her use it like this before, and doesn't want to fall into the trap as well.]

[his struggling fades quickly, tears slipping down his cheeks even as he falls under the spell. as if he'd be able to fight something like that.]

[her hand runs through his hair soothingly, coming to rest at his cheek where her thumb can wipe away the tear there.]

Sleep, child. The Heartless cannot touch you while you're under my protection, and I promise, your Heart will serve a great purpose in our plans.

[the tears keep coming, some part of him knowing this is terribly wrong even as his eyes close and his head dips forward, sleep overcoming him.]

[her next words are directed at Riku as the light fades and she straightens again.]

Congratulations, Riku. With him, we are off to a good start on the many pure Hearts we'll need for this endeavor. Put him in one of the holding chambers close to the Door.

[falltoshadow.livejournal.com]

Yes, Maleficent.

[Riku nods, hefting the boy up easily with how light he is, turning to head down a flight of stairs and do just that.]
