Watanuki remembered most of his encounters with spirits throughout the years, not because he was afraid and the sometimes gruesome sights had scarred him for the rest of eternity, but because he felt sorrow and distress when he looked at the forms that were so twisted from their years of sin or torment as a human. Yes, they frightened him, but was it their fault that something was wrong with him and they had the irresistible urge to know on him? No. So when he was panting from the lengths of his everyday runs, frustrated, sore, and trembling as he leaned against a wall for support, he didn't hold it against the spirits.

But tonight, as he weaved through various back streets and roads, he couldn't help feeling the spite that rose in him at the insistence of this specific spirit as it reached for his with long claws intent on ripping him to shreds. A loud wail sounded from behind him, startling him and making him stumble just enough that long black arms wrapped around him, pushing him against the nearest alley wall and pining him. Something wet and soft, smelling of rot and decay, touched his neck, licking a long line across his skin. He shuddered and attempted to shy away, whimpering. None of the spirits he'd ever encountered in his life had acted this way, most seeming content to cause him some sort of bodily harm and try to eat him, but this was different, slower and more intelligent somehow. Before he could do anything else the body of the ghoul consumed him, trapping him in an utterly overpowering darkness, none of the light that resonated off of the full moon breaking through.

He felt the sickness of crawling insanity and claustrophobia creeping up on him when the pure, reassuring, and soothing light of Doumeki's arrow pierce his prison. Then the mental inkiness of unconsciousness swallowed him and delivered him into Doumeki's arms for the umpteenth time.
