Vaguely, you're aware of the emptiness of the arena. Outside you hear the sounds of running and shoving. Students and otherwise panicking while trying to get out of the building.

Good thing they left. Now lets hope we can stop this before anyone else comes. I don't even want to think how this is going to be covered.

"So that's how it is. Was wondering why ya bothered to go after some weird gloves. Bit impressed ya managed to snag a Goryo. Though, have to admit, woulda expected it to have taken your body by now. Ya don't exactly look like the type to attract one. Not enough pomp and pride to ya swagger."

Sorry, we don't have that kind of partnership.

"Really now. Let's see if you can back up those words of yours. Come at me whenever you're ready!"

You see the flash of steel in the corner of your left eye. Her blade, its edge shining, is heading straight for your face. You raise Yato to block, but only then realize your mistake. The oni's blade falls faster than you thought possible. It lowers until it hits your left knee and cuts into the flesh.

Ouch.

"No. Kuziwa...there's gotta be a way to let him keep that arm. The oni's the main problem here. If we can get rid of her somehow, then maybe...maybe it'll work out. I know it's a long shot but damn it, I'm gonna take it! And it starts with us waking Kuziwa up and knocking that oni bitch out!"

Even then he has to somehow explain why he suddenly has a new arm.

Back and forth, back and forth it goes. Neither of you managing to gain any ground.

This is a very trading blows kind of fight.

"Damn...kid," the oni pants out. The arm she's inhabiting shakes, barely holding her blade up in a ready position. The ethereal form she's taken shimmers in the light of the arena, "How...how the heck...are you even standing?"

You see Kuziwa's eyes suddenly shot open.

A roar escapes his lips, "ARASHI!!!"

AND HERE COMES KUZIWA WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!


[X] ...Rush in and cut the arm off. While you've still got the chance.

While Hayato trying to give rousing speech to Kuziwa is in character, we've been neglecting our speech skills so much that I don't think it is going to work, especially since Kuziwa's hold is so tenious and Hayato notes how relatively better the Oni is doing. So either we continue attacking the arm to give Kuziwa a better change, or cut it off.

[X] Rush in and punch the arm Arashi is inhabiting. Maybe that'll give him the opening he needs!

Edit I believe in the power of friendship and Willpower

We don't even know if this arm will stay with him when the oni is gone. And he's asking us himself for it. Also, the oni is trying to cut his other, real arm off right now.

Better safe than sorry, besides it's gonna be real awkward explaining that extra arm
"How?"
"Uhh... Magic?"

Feels like this is the more sure option. And even besides not risking so much on whatever Kuziwa's willpower is...has anybody actually thought about the problem with a formerly armless boy suddenly gaining a very obviously demonic arm? Or even just a normal looking one if the appearance changes without the Oni?

We know for a FACT that there are ruthless monster hunters around that'll kill at any sign of taint. Even if they don't know what's happening now, they will eventually, and unless it looks like Kuziwa was both on honest victim and that he's been fully purged? He'll be targeted. And we're still in no position to try protecting him.

On the flip side, he can stay armless, like he clearly HAS BEEN and gotten used too, and we could maybe recommend him to Irina and Estella for their aid, and considering how they're loaded and on the watch for talent for future recruitment? And Kuziwa is a loyal honest samurai type? He'll probably get at least something.

Actually you are extremely unlikely to meet the ruthless killer monster hunters.

I've brought up that the Organization is here multiple times.

Are you sure you want to let out spoilers like that?

A solid hit in the elbow is likely to take one of them out for some time. Will it be the boy, or the oni? Let's find out.
