Reiku listens with apprehention to  the demons threats. She didnt need his arrogance or his ego to interfere with healing her body. Reassuded mearly by the site of Arkains face, and by his touch, she closes her eyes, trusting that things would work out for the best. She opens her eyes when she feels Arkain leave her, stressed she wasnt able to call for him to stay. She listens to his defence of the Kitsune, and for a moment is unsure of what to think, but she trusted Arkains words that the Kitsune was working to help them. However her fears for Arkains safety cause her to twitch despite her paralisis. Relief washed over her when she heard the Kitsunes statement, relieved he gave her Demon no excuse to show off, and Arkain no reason to risk himself for the Kitsunes safety. The kitsune enters her firld of vision, although she can not see what he is doing to her legs, where the shards were stuck. Her legs felt numb for a few seconds as something cool seemed to rub against her wound, then pull off it. She felt as if a mild suction were over her legs but it was too numb to be sure. Reiku sat up grogily, not realising untill she had begun to streach her limbs that she was able to move again. She beamed happily and crossed her legs, shifting around to see with alarm the kitsune was on the ground. "Arkain...the kitsune...whats going on?" For a moment the feared the Demon was exercising its more sinister powers, but realised she knew better. She hadnt permitted him to do any such things, but she was uneasy, seeing his physical form again. She was worried he was gaining more control over his actions. She smiled at Arkain as he came to her, and returned him embrace, feeling a little silly, but as happy as could be they were back togther. "I've had a pretty bad day" she said lamely. As he ran over to the kitsune to hold him, s he couldnt help but feel slightly jealous, but was happy nonetheless Arkains time away from her found him a new friend. She opened her mouth to correct Arkain as he asked for the demons help, but He answered before she could.<br/><br/>The demon had watched in silence as Arkain had attempted to  come between him and the kitsune. He felt there was a great deal of power coming from him. He closed his eyes, vision shifting to grey. Undefined lumps of blue replaced all living things in his line of sight, representing anything living. He felt...something...that wasnt right with the kitsune. He assumed it was the Kitsunes altered life force, due to his form. He focused on  the life energys of Arkain and Reiku, the very ties that bound their souls to . He raised his clawed hands onfront of his face, touching them tip to tip, the charred black bone plinking softly as they scraped against each other. He focused on the energies recuired to dever these bonds completly, removing this neusance from his path, and exacting his revenge on the one who imprisoned him. He never planned on helping her, this was his chance at freedom. His train of thoiught was broken by Arkain asking him to help the kitsune. Suddenly he felt something odd, for the first time in his eon long existance he found himself asking why he needed to kill. Reiku wanted this one in her life, and she hadnt wronged him in any way he didnt force her into. He opened his eyes, and drew his claws apart. He wouldnt be terminating anyone of Reiku's friends today, nor would he escape his enslavement.<span style="color: red">"Lizard, do not take me lightly, nor assume my powers. I'm hardly psychic, I can no more prevent an invasion on the Kitsunes mind than I can make the sun rise...however..."</span>He brings his claws back together. He focuses a great deal of energy all around the room. A ripple can be seen and felt through the air and a metalic zing resounds through the air, making Reiku's fur stand on end, and her hair become a little frazzled. The entire space within the room seems to shimmer.<span style="color: red">"We are no long in the labotory...while the Kitsune is still open to mental attacks, his body, and that of everyone in the room is no longer in this plane of existance. I do not know the psychis power of this hive, but it should take them some time to locate his mind. Also...I have much knoledge and power in that of Soul Magic...you should find my assistance in that area invaluable" </span>He finished wish a certain smuggness, his power in that area was only possible with having been dead for so long. He waited to hear Arkains idea, heeping his claws touching, channeling his energy to keep them shifting, trying to stall the Kitsunes attackers.
