[There's a brief pause before Riku speaks into the journal. He's been a bit restless as of late, and with the Replica around and his short encounter with Aku, well...]

Anyone up for a round? Haven't had much practice lately, so I could use a sparring partner. I use a sword, but I won't be too picky about weapons.

[Hmmm... Not a bad idea. Xion can fight, after all.]

Sure, I'm up to it.

Where should I meet you?

I'm not too picky. Out by the barracks, maybe?

Okay. I'll be there soon. [ shuts the journal so she can head out. ]

[And Riku should be there before long. He could use an epic distraction, and training is grand.]

[ she hasn't got that katana she was using, when she shows up. there's no need for it anymore, right?

this is one oddly serious poppet you've got, expression fairly impassive as the Keyblade springs to life in her hands once he approaches. ] Hey.

[He pauses abruptly at the sight of the Keyblade. She wasn't kidding, but then... heh. This'll make things interesting.

While Xion has a Keyblade, Riku's just got a generic sword. Disadvantaged? Maybe, but he's not too worried right now.]

Heh. So you do have one...

Yes... even though it's not really mine. I can only wield the Keyblade when it's given to me by someone else.

[ battle stance. ] You ready?

You bet.

[Slipping into his battle stance as well. Should be interesting, since the last time she fought him he's the one who prevailed.]

[ ah, but she's drawing on a different boy's power, now. ... plus, dude, you bitty compared to your scary older self.

when he doesn't take the initiative, Xion finally smiles a little, then runs at him with a yell, Keyblade raised. ]

[Just as planned. Rather than immediately attack, Riku, jumps out of the way. His jump is so ridiculous-- but anyway, once he lands? That's when he charges.]

[ what. that was ridiculous. WILL NOT LAUGH instead meets his charge with a block. something seems to abruptly occur to her when she does, though, making her hesitate for a second before jumping back. ]

You know ... I don't know how I didn't realize it before, but you're tall. Like the Riku I remember...

[ smiles a little bit more and rushes in again for a series of strikes. ]

Oh yeah?

[BLOCK, BLOCK, now watch him try to break the combo and counter attack--]

Well, it's been almost a year.

It's strange... I've kept thinking of you as younger--

[ c-c-c-combo break! she parries his blow off to the side so it just baaaaarely misses her, then goes right back on the counter attack. they're pretty even so far. ]

--but even though your timeline is different, you look and sound just like him. Except for the hair.

[And again he'll do that ridiculously high jump out of the way, even stopping to wave his sword as if taunting her. c:]

I might be as old as him, but we're not the same. Long as I'm here, I've got no plans to let the darkness control me.
