The cat yowled again as one of Ryuk's stamping feet connected with its tail, snapping some of the delicate bones in it and throwing it off balance a bit. With its good leg, it moved toward Mikami again.

It leaned to its left side, and as such, its claws swiped at Mikami's left arm and the left side of the man's chest. It looked up at the prosecutor with a look of pain, but something else - something darker, something bent on destruction.

The cat was angry and hurt, and it wanted blood.
