The kick didn't push the creature as far as Kyousuke would have liked, but it was at least enough enough to let him recover. Immediately, he pressed a hand to his chest, trying to stop the flow of blood. It didn't seem to be helping much, but he couldn't keep his focus there long enough tell, instead pulling himself to his feet and watching the thing circling around him at an incredible speed.

He had to do something, and fast. What, exactly, was the problem. He wasn't about to let himself get shred into, but he couldn't just attack the creature, when he had no idea how that would end up effecting Sora. It was a monster, but it was also still human. If he seriously injured it, and it came back in that state... But then, that might be his only option to stop it. He grit his teeth as he realized it. Was there at least some way he could buy some time...?

Back in the hall, there had been a moment where Sora had flinched away from the light, almost like it was painful. It was crazy, a longshot, but by this point, Kyousuke was just desperate enough to give it a try. At the creature jumped at him, he made a lunge for his flashlight, discarded amidst the shuffle, and shone it directly at it. He tried to brace himself as he did it; if by any chance this didn't work, he was about to get torn into again.
