[h2]Kubo Emi[/h2]

As the three demons encroached upon Rika, Emi suddenly lunged from the mostly-uncontruscted room, kicking one of the beasts on its side. With a disgusting yelp, it slammed into the nearby wall, alerting the other two to Emi's presence. Raising her clawed hand, blue flames flickered to life on her fingertips, soon followed by her mystical flames erupting from the floor, separating Rika from the demons. She could have opted for trying to burn the demons directly, but it seemed too risky; sure, the monsters might burn out eventually, but having two or three of these things going berserk while aflame would not exactly help the delicate situation. The chaos was already threatening to bring the whole building down on their heads as-is.

What Emi was aiming for, was simply a distraction. Dissuade the creatures from approaching her, and turn their attention towardss Emi herself. Then, with her blue flames dispelled, Rika copuld strike them from behind, allowing them to easily dispatch these mutts and clear their escape route.

With the two remaining demons turning towards her, Emi glared at them in return, a twitch of her finger letting her flames die down behind them. Giving the downed demon one more stomp, she cloaked her hands in the blue flames, ready to fend off the remaining beasts.
