[Riku had never been stabbed in the hand before, but he could've done without the experience. He recoiled at the attack and moved back swiftly. The spike hadn't gone all the way through but it had sure done a job.]
[Riku watched Bakura through blurry vision. He doesn't understand at first. He was arguing...with himself? But the subtle change in his voice makes it clear. Right, there are two inside him, and right now the light is struggling against the darkness. He understands that all too well. He hesitates when instructed to take the...'ring'. The weir gaudy necklace that Riku is sure wasn't around his neck before. He calls to Kairi over his shoulder.]
Kairi, find Axel. I dropped him.
[He moves forward and grabs hold of the very thing that was used to stab him just a moment ago, and it feels hot in his hand. Still, he closes his fingers around it and pulls, snapping the cord and moving back. He drops it when he can feel his hand beginning to burn.]
