Knife to a demon's heart, tug out and stab twice more. Kick their body aside and glare before I glance back in the direction of the tourist. My jaw drops, "Holy shit." That is one powerful ass halfer, Neku! Chatter reaches my ears as I twist and drop lower, upper cutting a demon with calm clarity and cold accuracy before shaking my head. The words that guy had said... That he's no demon and all... Man, isn't that familiar. My gaze goes to Neku for a moment before braking off from protecting him.
All of this.
Is almost an over load, but on the positive side, so many more left to go... If the guy doesn't drop them all like ash in an instant... With my train of thought redirected I continue to fight, a bit more on my own, but with a clear head...

That's not a Halfer, Nami! I called back, my senses overwhelming me with alarm signals. The pathetic Lessers around me were no particular threat, but this guy was a challenge, a threat to my territory. I had to suppress the urge to turn around and start fighting him, establishing dominance and territory.
He's a full-blood demon! But why... why didn't I...
I crushed a demon's throat with a flick of my mind as it lunged for me. All of this power... it was a heady kind of rush. It scared me, just a little.
Why didn't I sense this guy before?!
Especially with... those blue flames. There was something in my memory about them.... blue flames...
I had to ask Shinra when this was all over.

He sliced forward, taking out a demon distracted from him by the emergence of the other demon. Was that guy a demon? Had to be, there wasn't anthing else he could be.
But he was also fighting the demons, so... He shrugged, then leaped forward with a yell at a demon going for the blonde chick from behind.
"Hey, watch out!" he yelled, slicing it evenly in half before landing again, next to her.

"Oh, bitch, please!" I turn on my heel and glare at him. "I can handle myself, thank you very much!" And to emphasize a point I whirl around and slam a foot with a well timed kick into a demon's face. Then I slam my blade into its side...
"... I know how to kill."
... And through its lung to its heart.

Geez, this bitch was crazy! But Rin nodded. "Hey, I've just got your back. Not trying to insult you or anything!"
His tail waved with anticipation as he sprung on another group of demons.
"Don't you jackasses know when to quit it?!" he yelled, sending flames to eat them down to char.
The orange-haired gy... Netic... had taken up a position on his left; the three of them were standing in a triangle as they faced the demonic hoard.
"How many of these guys are there?!" Rin asked.
The other demon looked around, took a smell of the air.
"Too many," he muttered. "This is a giant-ass Crossing."
Then, in the back of his mind, he heard, And why are they calling you their Lord?!
"I'm nobody's Lord," Rin muttered back, and at that moment, green force and blue fire struck forward at the same time.

Light and heat flashes behind me, but I focus on my own section... I am the one who gave Midori and Sininen proper training! I am also the one that helped break Aqua from her completely defensive streak...
I am a weapon.
Forged and strong.
Keeping this in mind I use all that I've got to keep holding my own. Even if that is little, one day it'll be great. Switching my knife to my other hand I throw a punch to a demon's face, gritting my teeth as I feel the same pain as when I had finished punching a wall. But I keep on moving, slicing with more accuracy with my dominant hand rather my other.
I can't let the other two's back be exposed... Well, I can't let Neku's. I don't really give a rat's ass about this other character. Fucking show off.
I'll show him!
We'll show him!

....There was still something weird about Nami's thoughts, a strange echo...
But I couldn't focus on that now. "Come on!" I yelled at the new guy. "Don't let 'em get behind any of us or they'll have all three of our weak points!"
"Heh! Speak for yourself, I ain't lettin' any of 'em through!"
His thoughts were simple, direct. A different flavor from Nami's. Fight. Don't back down. Protect. Don't let anyone else get hurt. Strike. Never defend. Never retreat, lose ground, lose confidence, for any reason.
I don't think he knew the meaning of fear.
Again, green and blue struck out together, my force and his flames matching up. A large chunk of the mob on our side vanished to dust, cut to ribbons or charred to ashes. My mind cast around for anything else to use as a weapon, grabbing a handful of stones to cast into the midst of the next group, confusing them, stinging them, distracting them so.... Rin. His name was Rin. So Rin could slice into them with his blazing sword.

"Anyone got a head count yet?" I ask as I leave a demon on the ground with a slice on their throat and a few broken bones in their legs. "I'm not used to this whole attacking thing and I can't resort to my normal tactics with you two." Demon's nose meets my foot...

"Bet it's a focus," I muttered. "They seem to still be coming through. It's like someone's mobilizing an army!"
Rin stopped dead.
"Oh, shit," he muttered under his breath.
"Young Lord, listen to us!"
"What is it with this 'Young Lord' crap?!" I finally yelled, frustrated.
"Not good," he muttered. "Not good. How the hell did they figure it out...?"

"Hmmm..."
A focus huh?
And what's with him, you're the mind reader figure it out.
Meanwhile I'm going to find out what the heck is causing the stupid thing! Honestly! I am not one for this much exercise! Especially not after last night!
Snorting I slip away from Neku, trying to determine what exactly is going on while doing so.

My face went a little red. So she'd worn me down.... nothing wrong with that....
"These guys are after me," he suddenly spoke up, looking around. "Unfortunately, I can't make 'em go away. So you guys're gonna have to trust me, alright?"
"Huh?" I asked.
"Trust me!" he repeated, insistently. "Your'e gonna have to trust me. I can close the Portal; you guys just have to keep 'em off me while I do that and then mop up the remainder when I'm done!"

"One condition," I shout in his direction as I sink my blade into another demon's eye. "You don't make us take you to Lea after this!" Shoving farther up and into the creature's head I stand heavy on one foot and then throw my weight. Sending the confused and still attacking demon into one that had jumped at me.
"Is it a deal?"

A pair of tough nuts to crack, these two! He growled low in his throat, a noise he didn't even notice making.
"Counteroffer," Rin called back, slicing a demon about to slice Netic. "Admit that he's the one I really need to talk to, and I'll skip the visit to this Lea guy entirely. Hell, I'll even stop bugging you about Neku."

"Maybe if you come back next week we can tell you where Neku is!" My voice raises and jump up, using a demon's head as a spring board onto another and slamming my body into the third, landing pretty close to Rin. I quickly finish it off before whirling around to scream at him. "GODDAMMIT! WE'RE TRYING TO BE ON VACATION WHAT THE DO YOU NEED BOSS FOR?!?!?" I was really close to attacking him.
"May sure your answer is the correct one," I snarl, eyes glowing yellow. "I am NOT IN THE MOOD!"

"Let me close the portal," Rin said, quietly, looking her dead in the eye without a hint of fear - or aggression. "I promise... I'll explain everything."
