The first impression came from lethal nails, digging into his wrist and pinning it completely to the ground, leaving a small section of the depression split and a small trail of blood leaking out. The demon grinned, pointy teeth dripping with acidic saliva that sizzled as it landed on his skin and on the pavement that his back rested on. His hands clenched and he pressed his lips tightly together to stop the pained cries from escaping. Magic flared through him, calling the demons attention again to his blood instead of his flesh, teeth digging in and releasing it from his veins, the long, deep blue tongue snaking out and lapping at the liquid, a shiver running through the large body. Carefully distributing the magic evenly through his arms and chest, for a distraction, he forced it to take a physical manifestation. The invisible strands of wind wrapped around his fingers and traveled down his arms, encircling the demon and pushing it off, sending it flying across the street with an impossibly high screech. Watanuki took the time to push himself up and duck into a side alley, dodging trashcans and the miscellaneous junk that littered it, vaulting over the inadvertent obstacles, gathering the wind and readying an attack.
The roar came suddenly and directly behind him, giving him no time to think about his actions, only to move on instinct, whipping his body around and releasing the pent up energy, watching it as it tore through the dark entity, leaving its lacerated, bloody carcass on the ground. Sighing he called another form of magic, flames licking at his skin and charring it temporarily black, skin flaking and peeling off immediately as the fire departed from his arm, leaving nothing of the form but a discoloured mark on the alley floor.
He sighed, running a hand over his face and turned, yelping at the appearance of Doumeki, bumping into his chest and being held there by the taller boy.
"Are you all right?" he asked, gold eyes narrowing as he scrutinized the Magus. Watanuki huffed, lifting his hands to push fruitlessly at the hard pectus and grumbling softly as he was merely pulled closer.
"I'm fine you great, overprotective lout," he muttered, eventually relaxing into Doumeki's embrace, resting his head on one broad shoulder. "Where were you?"
"Yuuko held me up," he whispered back, ducking his head and laying a soft kiss before the right ear, gently nudging near the oddly coloured eye with his nose, drifting down to place another kiss, this one on Watanuki's lips, who sighed in response.
"Well," Watanuki uttered into the kiss, taking a deep breath, "I suppose it doesn't matter now. Its been banished and we can go home for the night."
