Downhill was a very apt term, this time. Despite the fact that Riku had dismissed Way to the Dawn, there was still one surprise waiting for him - and one he could likely pick out of the crowd even before he finished drawing near. Ansem had never been able to truly hide his scent from Riku, and even if he'd known of that same fact he wouldn't have bothered to hide. There was no reason to, and less shame in what he was.

Besides, Riku had gone far too long without some manner of confrontation. It was time to see what had come of his vessel.
