The thought flashes in his mind. Risk-taker or not, he knows what these things can do. He doesn't understand how Kai has control over them now or why he's suddenly acting like a big-shot villain, but he's heard enough and seen enough of them to know this is one of the most dangerous scenarios possible for his host. If they take Ryou's heart, will his host come back? The presumption of setting them on him pisses him off! What good was his idiot vessel if he couldn't even be counted on to keep people like Kai from causing trouble for him?!
Slamming his foot against the edge of the table, he uses it to shove himself backwards, the chair collapsing to the floor as he uses the momentum to roll to his feet. It's just in time. One of the creatures had already come close enough to jump at him, landing on the table.
His instinct is to go for his knife, but that would be useless; penalty games won't work on something that doesn't have the mental capabilities to play, and even his sleep-inducing ability takes time. And those little bastards are quick. The question is, can they hurt him other than trying to devour his heart? The ones he saw before passed right through. But Kai had said those were just memories, or something like that.
Three options remain. And one of them might not work on creatures like that. But all he can do is try.
Focusing, he draws the darkness around him, bringing the library into the World of Darkness. The helpless moans of the damned fill the air as it grows thick and difficult. A normal being would be drained by this. The question is, will they?]
