Kiki looked at the girl, mostly with shock. 'Hell Hounds' she thought to herself, did those things really exist. Surely if they did, they'd have gotten here by now. The legends said they could outrun any demon, which would mean they'd have to run pretty fast. Kiki wondered if the stranger really knew what she was talking about, or whether in the midst of her pain had gotten dazed and confused. When the stranger shrugged Kiki's support off and fell to the floor, she was confused. Why wouldn't the stranger accept her help, but even more so, why was she being so bossy. There was nothing Kiki hated more than being told what to do. She couldn't even hear the hounds approaching.<br/><br/>Kiki watched as the girl summoned the thorn filled vines from the ground in front of her, it was thick and gnarly. Almost like something you'd see surrounding a princess' keep, to keep out any pesky visitors. Surely they'd deter the hounds, Kiki just watched in awe but shock. The stranger was injured and if she didn't get help soon, she'd probably do more damage than good.<br/>"Let me help you" Kiki said with more authority in her voice than she'd used before, she hated it when people didn't accept help when they clearly needed it. The guns made Kiki feel uneasy, and she probably shouldn't be arguing with someone who was armed... however, she doubted the stranger would shoot her.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Lea had disappeared, once she'd realized whom the stranger was. She couldn't understand why she'd be running... surely she'd be chasing? Lea had seen friends of hers do dealings with the girl before but didn't know much of her. Lea could hear the hounds of hell on the girls trail, and with the busted ankle she'd acquired, wasn't going to last the night. Lea's job was to protect Kiki, so for her sakes, she lured the hounds away, creating a mocked scent of the person they were trailing. She'd send them back to wherever or whomever had sent them. Not for the girls sake, but Kiki's. Lea had a hard time, these were well trained hounds and weren't fooled easily, but eventually she managed to start to get them away from where Kiki was and had been when the girl had come crashing into them. After all, what was the point in having demon-esque abilities, if you couldn't use them to your own advantage from time to time. Kiki kept things interesting for Lea, so she wasn't prepared to let her get torn to shreds just yet. Lea wanted to keep her around long enough just to make things interesting.
