It wasn't a technique she ran into quite that often. Most people were afraid of being sliced in half. The dagger jammed into her arm and she ignored the pain coursing up her shoulder for the moment, the demoness bringing up her knee and driving it into his chest, right at the gash, so he'd release her grip. As the two fighters seperated, Shizuru heard some commotion up on the walls. She briefly pulled her gaze upward and spotted the Priestess with a worried look on her face, distracted at the orc's plight - not seeing the two demons coming up behind her. As one of them raised their blade to behead her, Shizuru tore the knife from her arm and threw it, the blade sinking into the demon's skull hilt-deep with a sickening thunk. He collapsed right behind the girl, nearly ontop of her. The demon general pointed at the remaining grunt and narrowed her eyes, "No distractions. That goes for you too, girl. Run before it's too late."<br/><br/>Shizuru turned and saw the gates almost open. She looked back at Jurai again and raised her blade once more. They would have time for one more exchange, she figured, before the gates opened and the Demon Lord's army poured into the fort. Ignoring the pain from her wound (it would heal soon enough) she went on the attack, charging in and striking out at Jurai with a feint before dodging to one side and slashing at his ribs.
