A/N: so this is a flashback to Rachel's fight with Riku. Incase anyone is confused or worried that they missed something. Just go back to chapter 4 if you forgot.

"AHH!" I jumped forward and spun around, looking around me. I was surrounded by sand stonewalls, like the rest of Agrabah, but there were no doorways or windows for me to leap out of. I backed away from the portal slowly and when I saw the silver hair of that boy Riku come through the darkness I leapt forward with my sword out.

He raised his dragon wing blade just before the sharp steel of mine smashed into his head. I gritted my teeth as the vibration of our two swords clashing shook my arms. His bright green eyes stared into mine and threw me backwards. I stumbled backwards and he raced forward before I could regain my balance. I twisted in the air and he only caught my leg with the edge of his sword. I crashed to the ground.

"OWW! That hurt!" I yelled at him, he looked at me with wide eyes and I lifted up my leg. "I think you fucking broke it!" I screamed. He stepped closer to me and was about to lean over me when I jumped up and knocked his sword out of his hand. He fell back and I held my blade to his neck.

"That's enough," A woman's voice from behind me said. I felt my muscles stiffen and I couldn't move.

"LET ME GO!" I yelled, feeling the tension in my muscles grow. I tried to move but my body wouldn't listen.

"Not until you relax," She said, walking around me to get Riku's sword. She bent down to pick it up. Her long cloak kicked up dust as she walked towards him. "Stand up, Riku." He moved slowly out from underneath my unmoving blade. I gritted my teeth and sort of growled at him. I could feel the sweat dripping down my back as the sun beat down on us. How Maleficent's complexion was completely clear I had no idea. Riku was sweating slightly and he just smirked at me as he stood up.

"I would have had you if she hadn't come along," I muttered bitterly. His face dropped but Maleficent handed him his sword before he could reply.

"The boy with the keyblade is reaching Jafar's lair in the desert. Soon they'll fight and I need you there to get the Princess whatever the outcome of the battle," Maleficent explained to him.

"What about her?" Riku asked, indicating me. "Are you going to take her to Hollow Bastion?"

"I could always use another servant, and she's got spirit, that's for sure," Maleficent said, she was eyeing me. "I'll knock her out and it'll make travel easier." She put her hand on my forehead and I could feel the coolness leave her body and enter me. My eyes drooped heavily, "I'll see you at Hollow Bastion, don't disappoint me like that fool in the desert." And everything went black.
