Well the post didn't turn out as I wanted but there ya go lol

She can feel pain yes, that's true. But giving some emotional terror will also be a good thing to add I think and if Botan and Kurama are a couple by that point, I think that adds to the dire situation at hand. I do like the idea as you mentioned, of her considering self harm if the demon, let's call him Shin, targets her. I don't know if she'd be immune but maybe [i]some[/i] resistance might be probable.

That is all very true. I think we fleshed out a good main baddie, at least for things to progress and give a good reason why other, oddly strong low rank demons start showing up. I do think the puzzle pieces should be slow to form though. I think the reveal of Goshi will be something we want to take our time with.
