Light grimaced when the claws connected with Hikaru's side, but by then there wasn't really anything he could do about it. Damn it! He didn't really care if Hikaru or any of the others got themselves killed, but if the remaining cat turned its attention to him after that...
He made more of an effort to keep track of the cat as it darted off again for this very reason, but it was impossible to keep sight of it in the encroaching darkness and keep a good grip on his flashlight so that he could beat the thing's skull at a moment's notice in if it came back.
He glanced back to the others once he'd lost sight of it, still keeping half of his attention on the area surrounding him. It probably wouldn't do much, but what else was he supposed to do? Besides, if he didn't show concern for the wounded now, that would only lower their opinion of him and likely limit whatever information they might decide to give him later.
Light managed to say "Do you need any--" before the cat struck again. Turning in the direction Robin had thrown his robe, he swung the flashlight towards the cat that would hopefully be caught under it. If he missed, he was going to keep trying until the damned creature was dead. That was what it got for interfering with the god of the new world.
