"Riku!" Kari wanted to cry but Adryan still had her lips caught with his own. She squirmed and tried to shove him away. Riku snapped out of his shock. He ran at Adryan to take Kari away from him. As he approached, however, Kari felt the cool tip of a dagger press against the soft skin of her throat. Riku stopped dead in his tracks. Kari's eyes narrowed. She grabbed the dagger with a tight fist, making the sharp metal slice into her hand. She shoved it away from her throat.

"He wouldn't hurt me. According to him. . .they need me." Kari told Riku, when she made a move to get off Adryan's lap, however, he wrapped his arm tighter around her waist.

"That's quite right." He stated. Adryan leaned closer to Kari, placing his chin on her shoulder, glaring daggers at Riku.

"That's why I can't let you take her." At this he stood, pulling Kari up along with him. Riku wasn't going to stand down. He charged at Adryan, summoning Way to the Dawn as he did. Riku threw a vertical slash his way but it was deflected by Cayne, who suddenly appeared. Cayne shoved him away.

"I will take care of him, Adryan." Cayne said in a monotone voice. Adryan gave a nod of approval. Kari struggled at this but Adyran tightened his grip on her waist. Kari watched Cayne and Riku as they charged at each other. She grew angry. Angry at Adryan for keeping her from Riku. At Cayne for attacking him. But most of all. She was angry at herself for letting Adryan do what he wants. With these thoughts in her mind she landed a sharp jab at his ribs. Adryan grunted and released her. The moment Kari was released she ducked to the ground and swept her foot out behind her. Her foot connected with the back side of Adryan's knee, knocking him on his back with a thud. Cayne turned quickly at the sound of Adryan's fall.

"Why you!" He growled. He charged at her. Kari, still pissed and in a crouch, launched herself off one foot and tackled Cayne around the waist. Cayne landed flat on his back, smacking his head. Cayne went still. Kari stood and looked up at Riku who was standing a few feet away. He smiled at her. Kari returned the smile and ran to him. She hugged him fiercely.

"Kari! Are you alright?" He exclaimed, returning her hug just as fiercly. Kari pulled away and stepped back a little, to give him room.

"I'm okay. They didn't hurt me." She said, smiling widely. Riku nodded. Kari looked around a little.

"How'd you get here?" She asked. Riku looked at her in confusion at first before he realise what she meant.

"Oh! Sora brought me here in the Gummi ship." He said. Kari didn't know what a Gummi ship was but she figured it was a ship they used to get around from world to world. She nodded.

"Let's go then." She said. Riku nodded and turned to leave. He opened the door for Kari. He turned to her.

His eyes widened in horror.

Kari stood in the same spot but jutting out of her stomach was the bloodied end of Cayne's spear. Cayne stood and yanked his spear from Kari's body, making her fall forward. Riku caught her in his arms. Riku fell to his knees with Kari in his arms. Riku lifted his hand to his face. I was covered in blood.

Her blood.

"Kari?" He called to her, his voice weak. She didn't respond, her eyes closed and eyebrows knitted together.

"Kari?" He called again, as he reached with shaking hands to check her pulse.

There was none.

"KARI!!!!!!" Riku screamed, his voice tainted with agony.

This was not good.
