"There are things out there that will eat you if we let you go," Sheena managed to get in before she took another blow to the face in the midst of the flailing. At least she'd seen this one coming well enough to turn her head to the side so she took a forearm instead of an elbow. She really didn't care for the taste of blood in her mouth.

The ninja was surprised by Yukari's reaction. The youkai had been doing a decent job keeping calm and trying to talk him down, but then she slapped him? Okay, Sheena couldn't blame her for doing it, especially since she was one more blow to the face from just going ahead and knocking the boy out.

Still, it actually looked like Yukari was... angry or something. This was a new experience.
