[He doesn't allow himself to give in to the dismay he might usually feel with an opponent like him. Nothing seems to work against him; Xigbar's powers have grown exponentially since his fight with Sora. He could have easily taken the man had he been only as strong as he had once been. Two years have been generous to Riku's own abilities, after all.
But this is something he can't predict and can't fight like this. Xigbar is feeding off of the darkness. He's changed, even within the past half an hour, and his brutality is disconcerting.
He spins his body and his blade and keeps attacking until Xigbar disappears. He holds his blade up and at the ready, prepared to fight as he turns and moves, unwilling to let himself be caught unawares. It happens anyway, despite his best intentions; the darkness catches his limbs and paralyzes him, forcing him down.
He drops to his knees and struggles vainly to keep his head up, his blade clenched between his fingers. He grits his teeth angrily, refusing to give in.]
