[Impossibly--maybe foolishly--Riku's first thought is to grab for the door again, blocking with his wooden sword as he does so, yanking it closed again and maybe, just maybe stopping whatever it is that's on the other side. But he doesn't see whether the door actually shuts or not, because Xanth's pulling on his shirt, trying to drag him away from the door and he's off his balance so the other boy can pull him back a few steps easy.
But then Riku pulls back out of his grasp, jerking his thumb back towards the stairs they'd come from.]
Time to go!
[If he'd been on his own, maybe he would have stayed. If he'd had Soul Eater with him, if he'd been able to summon the Heartless, if he'd been able to use the corridors of darkness, he -definitely- would have stayed. But he's got nothing but his wooden sword, a chunk already taken out of it by the blades that had been going after them, and he's got Xanth to keep in mind, as well.
So Riku's not gonna risk it. Not today. He whips around reaches out to try and push Xanth in the correct direction--he'll -drag- the other boy if he has to, but he's not planning on letting them get chewed up by the rolling mass of weaponry today!]
