Her hard stare fell on a man standing at the tree line, a few meters away.

Suichi saw him before she felt him. The man was average height, with dark brown hair in thick dreads. He lounged against a tree with his arms crossed.

Laena backed up to Suichi to whisper over her shoulder without taking her eyes off the stranger. "Who is he?" she hissed. Suichi didn't answer, he just looked on with that cold stare.

He could see that this man wasn't human. He could feel his vibe suffocating the air.

And then the man opened his eyes.

The ground between Laena and himself combusted, and Suichi found himself being blown backward before he could react. When he heard Laena yell out in surprise he made sure to land on his feet.

Something feral crept into his eyes and face as he looked towards the tree line. The demon wasn't there anymore.

So the red-haired fox ran towards where the human was thrown.
Laena was catapulted backwards by the blast. She yelled out in surprise as she fell to the ground hard, and hit her head. She saw a figure through the smoke and her fuzzy vision, and hoped it was Suichi.

No such luck. It was the mysterious person who was looking at her. Her eyes went wide as she noticed the dreads, and his browned skin. Shit. She said to herself. (Because it's not Kurama)

The man was on her in a instant, moving from where he stood to her with unnatural speed. She tried to scream, but his hand was clamped around her windpipe. "Are you the one?" He asked with a hungry look in his eye. His voice was low, but hoarse-sounding, like it wasn't used often.

She couldn't move. He pinned her to the ground so she couldn't kick her legs, and her right arm was under her.

"What?" she wheezed through her closing throat. She was gasping for air now.

The man looking into her eyes, and all she could do was stare back, staring into those endless black pits. He was searching for something.

Laena knew that. She could feel him rummaging through her head. And somehow, she could sense his presence, and effectively block him from entering her inner barriers. She felt his emotions with that link. And all that was felt when she blocked him was a wash of anger.

He pulled back from her mind, allowing Laena to become aware of her physical state.

There was something wrapping itself around her limbs and torso. It almost felt like rope. Then her outward vision came back, and she could breathe because the creature's hand was no longer around her throat. But now that she could look around, she saw that that hand was pushing up her shirt, and pushing on her stomach. Frantically, she looked around, and found that his hair was the rope entwining itself around her, keeping her in place.

What was he doing? She gasped for the breath to scream when she saw a green flash and heard a crack, almost like a whip.

Then she saw Suichi standing a few yards away, with this feral look in his expression. His eyes had become dangerous.

"Suichi?" she whispered. Looking over at her friend.

The man's head snapped to his left to see what was his new opposition. Laena's eyes darted from Suichi's face to the creature's, and then she felt the hair ropes loosen on her ankles and legs. The creature hissed.

But then she felt something crawling around her neck from her back, and the creature snapped his head back, turning his terrible gaze to her's again. He had his teeth bared, and his expression was vicious. She met his blazing eyes, the pupils almost non-existent, and everything went black.
