Reimu caught up with the imp, who you shadowed for a little while.  But eventually you gave yourself away.  He dropped his items and spun, facing you,  "You not imp!  You come to take my gems!  Me not let you!"<br/><br/>He bare sharp pointy teeth and flexed claws.  Stepping over the items he charged at Reimu to attack.   Drawing her dagger she lanced out at the beast as he ran past, his claws catching her and slashing her clothing at the hip.  The pain was unpleasant, but not unbearable.  The imp howled from it's slash from her dagger, and turned ready to attack again.
