Kaito grabbed hold of her wrist helping Kaneda pull the girl through.<br/>They fell into a heap behind him, but he didn't have chance to help them up. The creatures were already reaching through the barricade.  With a sound like dry twigs snapping he brought the bat down across the limb obviously shattering the bone. Anyone else would have been rendered immobile by the injury but the creature merely redoubled its effort.<br/>"<em>Time for a change of strategy</em>" he thought to himself, as he backed away from the barricade.<br/><br/>The creature started to struggle through, greatly hindered by the barricade. Kaito waited a few seconds more, then mustering all his strength brought his bat down on the creatures head. Again and again until with a wet crack the creatures head spilt open. It twitched slightly before laying still.<br/>He then pulled the body through before blocking up the hole and sliding to the ground panting. "<em>if you two are finished with your nap how 'bout helping patch this up</em>" he said looking with a wry smile at the newcomer and Kaneda entangled on the floor.
