Arkain continues to hold the kitsune close to him. He feels a tremedous surge of energy in the room he sees the demon with his claws in front of him. He could tell quickly it was him. He getting ready to strike but he suddenly stopped. He heard his loud voice. He lowers his head. "I deeply apologize demon. I had no right to assume what you can and can not do.' He hears the however and cringes nervously. He feels a strange ripple of energy and metalic zing then theroom seems to shimmer. He hears the demon speak and he nods. " I understand. Your idea will definatly give me the time I need to do this. Yes, your knowledge of Soul magic will be very helpful. I will need your help keep his soul away from the from the hive. It already has many trapped in there. His is not going to be one of them. Once I have his soul has joined with mine. I will know what to do next." He does not doubt the demons powers but he does not want the demon to have the kitsune either. HE does not want to be tricked into it by the demon. He does not plan to join souls with the kitsune. He plans to guide it to a safe place. Arkain is a protector. A secret he keeps very closely guarded. He plans to bring it to the Great Sprit.  She is the holding place of souls before getting ready to pass to the other side. She helps them to guide them there when they are ready. She helps guide the souls back to the creatures that are reformed when digested by magical creatures that have the power to reform thier prey.. She has already knows what Arkain is doing and has agreed to keep the kitsunes soul safe  as a favor for Arkain. She knows of the demon and will not let him have this soul.<br/>Arkain looks at the kitsune and smiles then sighs. "What I ment to say is that I can not give you back your former non latex body. When you are reformed, I can save your soul from the hive but I can not stop you from coming back. I have to digest you to take your soul but unfortunatly your body will reform back here as a latex kitsune.  But when you do, My healing powers will restore your powers to full.. This should give you new strength to fight the hive. I promise I will  find a way to destroy his place and some how free the souls trapped in here, you have my word. Lets do this while we still can. This is going to be a quick trip down" He hugs the kitsune and opens his jaws wide and slides his jaws over the kitsunes head and shoulders and down to his chest. He grabs his waist and lifts the kitsune up and raises him above his head getting ready to swollow him.
