Paka sighed, knowing that no one would be able to do much, without the Silver Boar blade, but he still spoke up and said, "if worse comes to worse, I have my [b]Howl[/b] Ability, so I can drag the beast to me while the others get out. I can have a crystal ready to go, once everyone is safe" he said, trying to be reassuring, but he knew the only way he was going to be able to do that, was if Umichi was dead, and he saw Suki grimace. He winced, not liking that scenario either, but planning for the worst seemed the best, rather then having them all be killed by a rabid wolf. 

He eventually shrugged, and started to follow, his Katana at the ready, just in case there were more monsters around, and just in case the werewolf decided to jump out from somewhere. He wasn't' too happy about bringing along someone without much experience, and without proper knowledge of their weapon, but if they were going to be a team, then there had to be a certain amount of trust. 

Paka would simply make it his job to make sure that he could get as many of them out alive as possible, at least until his own demise.

Suki stared after Paka as he started to walk, seemingly unperturbed by what he had said, but Suki was beyond troubled about it. It was almost as if Paka didn't think that they could all get out of this alive, and Suki didn't like that. There was absolutely no way that Suki would Believe they couldn't get out of this alive, andn she gripped her [b]Anneal Blade[/b] tight in determination, and jogged after them, soon catching up with Umichi, glancing back at Paka. 

Suki thought that just because they might not be able to do much damage, didn't mean that they couldn't distract the beast, and if Umichi was in trouble, that's what she would do, stab and attack it, to distract it, and give Umichi time to react. She didn't voice this, knowing both Umichi and Paka would crush that plan down to the ground. Instead, she kept it to herself. 

It didn't take them long to reach the area where the Dire Werewolf was meant to be, and Suki began to look about, uneasy. The beast could just appear, throughout the trees, and she was right as there was a quick movement, and suddenly the Dire Werewolf was there. She stepped back, to give Umichi room to fight and wield the [b]Silver Boar Blade[/b]
