Her face was casted with a dark shadow, illuminating her face as her eyes stared to the blonde male like a hawk and its prey.

Before anyone could react, Kobeni ran in a frenzy pace towards Denji with a loud blood-curling shriek, the sharp tip of the knife she held pointing torwards him as she ludged to his way.

Seeing this, Denji quickly brought his fists up to prepare for a defense. But Aki who saw this was quick to act, Kicking the knife from Kobeni's hand with his leg as it flied off onto the air, catching Kobeni off guard as she yelped.

"Ghrk-!"

Thanks to Aki's help, he gave Himeno just enough time to aim for her stomach as she roughly punched Kobeni's abdomen with her elbow, instantly knocking over the black haired female and stopping her.

The timid girl fell on her side to the cold hard floor with a loud thud as she wheezed. The carpet muffled the thud of the harsh blow that made her lungs emptied themselves from air, a string of spit spluttered out as she laid helplessly.

The devil who watched the sight infront of it laughed, it laughed rather contently to its own heart. As if this situation was some type of a TV show to it.

"Oh, shut up.." the navy haired female spat out to the devil, huffing in annoyance as she crossed both of her arms. She felt a little gulity for doing that but she could apologize to Kobeni later.

The (h/c) female who has been thinking a way out of this situation then faced the black haired male beside her. Her mind finally coming up with something that might be useful.

"Aki, can you end this devil by swallowing it with your fox?" She questioned, wanting this intire situation to end quickly as fast as it can. Still having a small hope of getting out lingering within her heart.

The black haired senior gave a look of hesitation. Knowing there's nothing wrong with trying it, he small yet unsure nod before then bringing his hand in front of his face, pinching his middle finger and ring finger to his thumb as his pinkie and index finger stood still.

"Kon." The silence took over.

..Nothing happened.

Aki let out a sigh, already predicting the outcome. "I had a feeling that would happen." He shook his head dissapointingly as he then continued, "This place is completely cut off from the outside after all."

The navy haired slightly frowned, "Your fox's body is in Kyoto too.." Himeno commented, scratching her chin with her own hand. Trrying to help the (h/c) come up with ideas.
