Suki continued to fight the Direwolves, trying to keep track in her head just how much time was passing, not wanting to risk looking at the time on her menu to find out. She was counting the seconds as she fought the wolves, thrown off slightly when Umichi tried to ride the Direwolf. When he leaped off, Paka attacked the Direwolf, killing it quickly, turning to intercept another one. 

Suki turned her attention back to her own fights, ducking as. Direwolf made to tackle her, bringing her Annael blade up for a [b]<<vertical>>[/b] attack, slashing the wolfs belly, causing more damage to the soft underside then she would have with a regular attack on any other part if the body. The Direwolf shattered , and Suki rolled up, blocking a direwolfs claws as it came at her. She pushed back, but was overwhelmed by it's strength, and let herself tumble to the ground.

Paka attacked the Direwolf before it could lunge again at Suki, killing it, and helped his cousin up, offering Suki his hand. Suki took t, pulling herself up, panting slightly. She hoped this would be over soon, as she and Paka turned, placing their backs against each other in an unspoken agreement of protection. Together, they continued to fight Direwolves, trying their hardest to keep them away from Umichi, every so often looking to make sure they were going to be mauled by the Dire werewolf. 

Suki saw Umichi get racked with the beast closed and winced, hoping the battle would be over soon, knowing that as it's health decreased, the dire werewolf might get aggressive. She checked Umichi health, resolving to keep an eye on it, and have a health crystal at the ready. Health crystals worked faster then potions, and Suki therefore thought she'd have a better chance at saving Umichi if something went wrong.
