Suzaku felt his foot connect with zombie skull, which had been enough to put the other two out. Good, now all he had to do was avoid -- was it him or was the thing changing? It was hard to tell in the darkness, and maybe he just hadn't been close enough to see earlier, but it seemed bigger than the others. Bigger, more resilient, and faster, to judge by how quickly it struck back with that knife. Suzaku hadn't been expecting that speed at all, and he cursed as he tried to dodge. There was nowhere to go, however, and not enough time. He felt the blade graze his shin even as he danced backward with an awkward little hop.
This wasn't going to be so easy after all. At least he was aware of the fact now, however, and he wouldn't be caught by surprise again. He could definitely handle a normal human with a knife, let alone some brainless corpse, so as long as he kept his wits about him and didn't underestimate the thing again, he should be fine. Suzaku quickly took advantage of the recovery time the butcher would need between swings, and made to step on its wrist, neutralizing the knife against the tabletop before trying to kick it in the head again. Surely if he hit it enough times, it would go down, undead or not. Even if his leg was stinging sharply and might not be strong enough right now to keep the zombie's arm pinned.
