Riku finally gained enough strength to move onto his knees. He coughed a little and looked over at the kid. He apparently wasn't going anywhere either. He took this chance to throw his voice at him.
"Who are you!? And more importantly, what's your problem!?"
It took him a lot of strength to yell across the beach, but he felt as if he could handle it. He pulled himself to the edge of the island in case the person gave a reply.

Hansy looked up at Riku, faring better than him in the moving department. It didn't matter, Hansy could always sink into the ground and darkness if things got to risky. But it seemed Riku was the victor. Whichever of them got up first, could crush the other, and he was already on his knees. Hansy still couldn't move, so it was somewhat troublesome to talk.
He raised his head to Riku slightly, his voice faintly making it to his ears. "I just wanted to see, a keyblade master..." Hansy said. It was the truth, that was his goal, and he'd accomplished it. It was as he feared, they were far stronger than he was, so he would have to get stronger, to defeat these chosen wielders.

Riku's features showed shock for a moment. But it wasn't too surprising that someone would hunt a keyblade wielder. But this kid seemed young. Why would he want to? Everything about the boy was strange...but Riku remembered the blind fold over his eyes. He knew what that was for...and he started to realize that things weren't as they seemed.
He pulled himself to his legs, hoping to bluff the kid into retreating or something. One false move and he would collapse again. But he figured he could at least LOOK like he was okay.
"Well you've seen one. What do you plan to do now?"
He called out over the beach again. But this time, his voice was just a loud talk rather than an actual yell. In reality, he didn't care what the boy was going to do as long as he left the islands. He was too dangerous for Riku to allow to stay.

"I don't know, I didn't think i'd lose so fast..." Hansy said, quite truthfully. In the event he had beaten Riku, he didn't know what he was going to do, and, in the event Riku had pinned him to the ground with his sword at his throat, he didn't know what he was going to do. He'd heart about the keyblade, and their wielders, and the heartless, and the Organization, so Hansy, really just thought he'd find something along the way of fighting Riku. For, as far as he could tell, fighting was the greatest way to see a person in fullest form.
Maybe he wasn't paying attention, or maybe it was because Riku sent him flying across a bridge and smashing into a mountain edge in one hit. But he didn't feel like he'd learned or gained anything aside from a vague estimation of 'this' wielder's power. So he couldn't help dissapointment from flowing into his voice. "Sorry" he said, knowing the least he could do was apologize for attacking for such a selfish reason, in the end, Hansy really wasn't sorry, he knew it wasn't nice, but he had done it anyway. As far as he'd seen thoguh, it at least showed people you cared in some fashion.

"I bet." Riku said blandly. He never took kindly to people who attacked him out of the blue or anything. Not to mention, he heard a frail tone in his voice which gave him trouble believing him. Waiting a little while, he felt his legs in a good enough condition to walk. He jumped carefully off of the island onto the beach and limped over the to the boy.
Approaching him slowly, he stood over him with a straight face. A few moments passed of silence, until Riku held out his hand. His enemy was still young, and Riku wasn't up to leaving some kid on the beach to die of heat exhaustion.
"You could've just asked." Was his simple reply.

Hansy didn't actually notice Riku's hand until he said something to him. Wherein he looked up and saw. Able to move slightly now, though he hadn't a few seconds earlier because he had no reason to, Hansy got up, stumbling a bit as he did so. He didn't take Riku's hand. As far as he had seen, people only held out their hands to friends. And both he and Riku knew they weren't friends. Unless of course, his knowledge on a 'helping-hand' was wrong, but it didn't matter, since now he had stood up.
Dusting a bit of sand off, he finally answered Riku's question, tilting his head up a bit to see Riku's head. His lack of size more obvious when they weren't jumping around in a battle. "I could have, but you would have known. I wanted to fight you for real..." Hansy answered. Hopefully Riku would understand what he meant. That Hansy wanted Riku to fight him like he would a heartless, only then could Hansy himself understand keyblades and their wielders.

Riku thought about it for a moment. His face never changed out of its solid, emotionless postion. He looked down at the hooded boy and thought deeply. He knew this boy. He unclenched his fists before he spoke.
"You're the kid who reopened the door here, aren't you?"
Riku ignored the boy's last comment. He understood what he wanted, but also understood that that sort of thing didn't need a reply. Only the people who didn't understand it truley could reply to that.

"...Yes..." Hansy said after thinking a moment. He didn't exactly know what 'opening the door was', but when he touched his hand to that wood, and the light came out, and the two of them sealed it. Hansy assumed that was what Riku was talking about. It didn't matter to him really, he had touched the door out of curiosity, he didn't even know why it 'opened'. So, unfortunately, a 'yes' was the most descriptive answer Hansy could really give.

"I take it that's one of your travel methods?" Riku stood silently not expecting an answer. Not much was coming out of this kid, but he had an idea of what he was thinking. He probably didn't care about one thing that Riku said. He'd make him regret it, however.
"Becareful with that darkness you use. You can't handle it yet."
Riku didn't feel like flattering the boy, or even waiting for a response. He simply turned and walked away. He was about done with his island for now, and thought to travel better. Making one last look back at the boy, Riku held out his hand a created a dark portal. He stepped through it slowly, and it closed behind him. He would decide where he was going while he was there.

"He-y" Hansy said as Riku walked away and dissapeared into a dark portal. His last comment was certainly of importance, he understood the darkness Hansy used? Impossible, sure, he clearly used his own, and Hansy knew he couldn't control his, but still. He had to know more of what Riku was talking about.
Unable to chase him or anything, Hansy did the other choice, opening a dark portal behind him, he stumbled into it, going into the dark corridors. It didn't matter who's portal you go through, the corridors are the same, and Riku couldn't have gotten to far. As Hansy passed into the otherworldly chasm, he looked around for any signs of the guy.

Riku walked casually through the darkness. He didn't bother to look around as he had seen it so many times before. It was all the same twists and turns of darkness and always the tinge of purple. He thought quietly to himself...about where he was going, and a little bit about that kid. He knew how it felt to be surrounded by darkness at a young age. It wasn't good...it wasn't healthy. Riku didn't want to see anybody end up like that.
Finally he stopped and sat in the darkness. He couldn't decide where to go...so he'd go nowhere for now.
"This place is just as dull as it was the first time I came here. So much for fufillment...What was I thinking?"
He always took it upon himself to think out loud in the darkness. A way of making sure that he was still alive...or exisiting. If he could hear his own voice, he was okay.

Hansy walked through the darkness, looking for the guy he'd fought. He was moving a bit faster now, since he was in the darkness, and it was doing well to accelerate his healing. Convinent, certainly, but he was far from at full power. He finally thought he saw him sitting on the ground. It was wierd, you generally didn't just 'hang out' in the darkness. But, Hansy didn't care, he just wanted to ask him.
"What do you know about the darkness?" Hansy yelled. It was a question of two fronts. First, Hansy always wanted to know more about the darkness, second, weren't keyblade wielders supposed to be avatars of light. This didn't make sense.

Riku turned his head to the voice. It was that boy again. Him again? He thought to himself with a sigh. Riku came to his feet at a decent speed and turned fully to the boy. Riku was good enough to fight, but he still didn't want to.
"I know enough. But that's a pretty vauge question kid."
He turned away from him and started to walk away again. He went slow, because he knew the conversation wasn't over. He was positive the kid would keep following until he got the answer he saught.

"You're a keyblade wielder, your not supposed to use the darkness, your supposed to destroy it. How do you do those things, how do you utilize the darkness?" Hansy asked quickly, following Riku at a slightly higher pace. He was stubborn, and didn't plan on leaving until he learned what he needed. Maybe it wasn't really his place to follow Riku, but oh well. He didn't care about what was 'right' anymore.

Riku laughed out loud at the statement. Apprently this kid thought a lot of things that weren't neccesarily true. Riku stopped walkeding, and drew his keyblade. Not to fight, but to make a point while he explained.
"No, you're wrong. Not all keyblade wielders walk in the light...and darkness can't be destroyed. It and light are both eternal, and are both needed to keep a balance in existance."
Riku held out his keyblade so the boy could look at it. He wasn't worried, it's not like he could steal it or anything. He continued to answer the boy's questions.
"I went through a lot to be able to use darkness like this. It's not really something you learn from a book."
