"Kura!" the friends shouted, relieved to see their companion. Now that she was here, they stood a fighting chance. "Hi guys," she said cheerfully, then turned her attention back to Kai, and gave him a deadly glance.
"Get away from them," Kura snarled at their raven haired enemy. He just looked at her, as though he was barely aware of her presence and just yawned. Then, slowly, his attention left the silvery haired half demon, and returned to Nekura. She was still bleeding badly, and no longer had the energy to heal herself, let alone her friends. She was counting on Kura to drive off Kai, or at least keep him busy long enough for her to regain a portion of her strength.
The evil teen lowered his crimson eyes to Nekura's wound, and glared at it. He looked as though he knew she was helpless, yet at the same time, seemed too loath himself for not having done more damage. "Well, well little whelp, it looks as if I've managed to do some damage to you after all," he practically purred at her, his eyes boring into hers.
"That's good news for me, for tonight, will be the night you die!" he yelled at her, flexing his claws as he sprung into the air, prepared to kill her. "You won't be getting in my way anymore!" he screamed, striking nothing but the ground. Kai turned his head growling slightly. He couldn't believe that he had missed, that, even wounded like she was, Nekura was fast enough to dodge his attack.
"Impossible," he uttered in a low tone. "How can you still dodge my attacks? You've been wounded, and are weak from all of the training that you have done today. How can it be that you dodged that attack?" he spat the last sentence at her. To someone as swift and powerful as Kai, it was inconceivable how someone in such a weakened state as she, could have possibly moved out of the way in time.
The teen girl just shrugged at him, infuriating Kai even more. He picked her up roughly by her throat, strangling her with one hand. "Tell me!" he spat in her face. She simply turned her head, as she felt her body going limp. He was cutting off her air supply, and in her mind, this was no way to get answers. She knew that eventually he would toss her aside, releasing her. Even Nekura knew how this raven haired creature sought answers. He would not kill her, for if he did, he wouldn't know the truth. There was no way he could have known that she had just enough strength to roll out of the way, using her control over the earth to increase her speed. True it had drained the last of her strength, but she didn't care. At least he was ignoring her friends, giving them time to plan an attack. She just hoped they could save her, as well as themselves.
