"I bet the armor and big swords are just for show... Maybe overcompensating for something." Kaori mocked the four demonic soldiers indifferently. She dashed in alongside Yomi, and when the two were close enough, the four enemies attacked. Their swords were longer and heavier, their swings much more powerful - clashing with them wasn't the way to go, Kaori thought anyway. She rolled to one side as two blades were swung down on her projected path, and from their flank, she leapt at them ready to take at least one of them down with a quick attack. What she didn't expect was for the enemy closest to her to bring his sword out of the ground and up towards her within the blink of an eye! It shouldn't even be possible to lift a sword that heavy so fast.

[I]What the hell, it's a nodachi not a fucking kitchen knife![/I] Kaori thought to herself, bringing her katana up in defense rather than going to attack like she was going to earlier. The demonic soldier was just too powerful... Because she was in mid-air, the clash and overpowering force of the enemy sent Kaori flying back away from the fight. When the injured girl woke up, she noticed her shoulder bleeding much more heavily now from the impact. Her back was to the cage bars, and the robed figure was stood in front of her with his shaman-esque metal staff. Quite calmly, he smacked the bottom of the pole on the side of Kaori's head, immediately sending her to sleep as she was already half-unconscious from the blood loss. That left Kaori, and all the concealed kunai on her,and her katana right outside the cage. Well, not the katana - as soon as she let go of it the robed figure kicked it away - he wasn't taking any chances with the prisoner...
