Naminé narrowed her eyes, but couldn't see where Riku had slunk into the the plants. What was he doing? She flicked her ears, as animal instincts screamed at her to run, run, run! She fought for dominance over her mind, reasoning that a sudden movement like that would only provoke Riku into... what? He didn't intend to eat her, did he? Well, if that was his intention then that would account for her sudden wish to run away.
If she ran away now, there was no way she could outrun him. She hadn't yet grown accustomed to her new form, and even if she had a lamb wasn't nearly fast enough to outrun a leopard. Even if she had started running the minute she fell out of that hole she wouldn't have been able to get away. So, that ruled running out.
Riku couldn't really eat her. No, there was no way. He couldn't just give into animal instincts like that. He had to fight it. She assumed the most self-assured stance she could, although fear ran through every muscle in her body. "Riku, what are you doing?" she asked, placing extra emphasis on his name. You are Riku, Riku, Riku she chanted in her mind. Not that he could hear, but she had to say it to herself to believe it. She had put her faith and Riku before, and she would do so now. It was the only way they could rescue Kairi...
"Kairi!" she shouted, "That's what we're here for Riku. Don't forget that! Or are you just going to give in?” She could care less what she was saying now. She was scared, angry, and just wanted to get out of there, most preferably alive.
