"I'm sorry, can you excuse me for a moment?"

"Uh... sure."

"Thank you." Riku stepped away from Ansem and strode over to the pure white wall, he began to smash his head into it. Ansem raised an eyebrow as the boy pulled his head back and inspected the wall.

"Damn!" He kept smashing his head and pulling it back to inspect the wall. At one point Riku turned around and pointed to his forehead. "Do you see blood yet?"

There was a stream of the stuff running down the boy's face, so Ansem nodded almost dumbly. Riku stuck his tongue out and stretched it up his cheek to lick some of it.

"Yeah I taste some..."

"Well there's a lot of it."

Riku frowned and turned around. "Just one more second." He said and continued to smash his head into the wall. Finally the boy stumbled back and fell onto the floor. "Wow..." He said shaking his head. He twisted around unsteadily and gasped, he lurched back.

"Oh my god, Ansem! There are like, three of you!" He gasped. Ansem arched his other eyebrow.

Riku narrowed his eyes and began to point to mid air. "No wait... there's one, two, three, four... oh wait... wait-wait-wait... no I'm blind." Riku said slumping his arms down to the floor.

"W-what?" Ansem was confused. Riku stretched his arms out in front of him and tried to stand up, but he fell back down.

"Ok, so my legs don't work... that's... that's... yeah that's not good is it?" Riku began to laugh in short breaths gasping for air. Ansem looked down at the teen.

"I can't decide if you're suffering from blood loss or brain damage."

Riku stuck a finger into his ear and glanced at the ground. "Probably both." He said flicking no existent dirt from his finger tips.

Ansem stared at the boy and finally held up three fingers. "Exactly, how many fingers am I holding up?"

Riku narrowed his eyes and leaned foreword. "Uh... seven?"

Ansem groaned and turned around. "I'll come back when your sanity is more stable." He said disappearing. Riku waited until he was gone and reached up to wipe the blood from his forehead.

"Hey your Majesty! I told you it would work." Riku said standing up and dusting himself off. A disembodied voice quickly entered his conscious.

"Ok, ok, I lost the bet! So where'd you get the fake blood?" The king's voice asked him. Riku reached up and winced as he touched the wound.

"It's not fake."

Author's ending note: Sorry about this... I am really very sorry! But when ever I watch the scenes in Reverse Rebirth I always think that if I was Riku I would've pounded my head into the wall and lost my sanity instantly. I'm sorry Riku. I'm really, really sorry.
