Renji twisted and bounced with the creature, determined to keep his weight on top of it. His knee was starting to feel rather bruised, but it was the least of his current worries. So much of his attention was taken up by simply just trying to stay on the creature and keep it down that he couldn't really see what Artemis and Sora were up to.

He did have an idea - rather than a point by point check of the creature's back, which would take a long time, he set the edge of the knife slightly to one side of its spine and dragged down, searching for any place that felt different. It covered more area, and would make the search faster - assuming there was something to be found.

He just hoped that it would have a vulnerable spot somewhere. And on its back, preferably, since that was all they currently had access to. At least having it face down was making the creature's attempts at fighting far less effective.
