Kurai emerged from behind Anna and stabbed a shadow tendril through her. His sunglasses were off, and in his pocket. His blood red eye had been brighter than ever. "I read up on demon powers on the way here. Turns out, you can't fight them, you just gotta promise not to hurt your demon and to grant one request." He raised another, the other tendril retreating as a thicker one smashed Anna against the wall. "Lucifer has been talking to me, and he has no bad intentions." At the 's', Kurai dragged it out a bit, almost like a snake. His tongue turned out to be forked. His horns seemed a bit bigger. "Now, I'm going to beat the holy hell out of her, and if she dies, then she dies. Thanks, Nara, for the article, by the way."
