Kakashi watched in impressed/worried silence as Maoko easily kept up with Yami. For a demon he certainly didn't seem that powerful...
"Don't underestimate me!" snarled Yami, landing next to him and slamming him into the ground. Kakashi blacked out briefly as the demon applied pressure to a point on the back of his head but regained it almost instantly. Unfortunately, Yami had taken him hostage.
"Well, it's too bad you're so strong Bitch-san, otherwise I wouldn't have to stoop to such levels," Yami said calmly. Kakashi opened his mouth to say something but Yami stepped on his head and ground his heel into his jaw. Maoko remained perfectly calm.

What were you trying to say human? Trade me the secrets to getting past her and I'll let you live...

Like hell I'm going to tell you. All I was going to say was you just made a really stupid mistake Kakashi growled at him mentally. Yami's reply was to grind his heel again and snarl.

$$$$$

Yami frowned and mulled over his options. Although he was psychic, it was still beyond his ability to read anything that was not thought openly like in those boys' heads.
'Damn it... this Bitch is too good for me at this point. Even if I kill her buddy here she'll be too strong and I'll lose the little leverage I have left,' he mused to himself, losing his focus on the woman who bothered him so profusely. His musing was interrupted by a cold voice that Yami recognized but at the same time was unfamiliar to him.
"Get off of him," she said her face, eyes, and body totally relaxed and calm. Yami arched an eyebrow and sneered.
"Who's gonna make me?" he jeered, crossing his arms. Yami nearly fainted when, for the first time since he had laid eyes on her she smiled... well, smirked, but they were close and neither had happened before.
"I am," she said with a vicious curl of her lip. Yami suddenly felt very, very scared.
"J-just a sec... how 'bout we make a deal? You let me get out of here and you can have your guy back and I won't kill anything for a week! I swear it on my mother's honor!" Yami stammered. Mentally he cursed himself for using the one swear that he couldn't break, but he knew that was probably the only thing that was going to get him out of here. Maoko arched an eyebrow and chuckled.
"Fair enough," she said easily. Her eyes glinted dangerously though, letting him know that he WAS honor bound. Yami gulped and nodded nervously. Slowly he stepped off his captive and backed away to the edge of the clearing. A second later he was gone.
