He watched her examine herself, and noted how injured she was...also taking note of the blood which was making a rather large puddle on the floor. What was it now, nearing a second quart? He couldn't tell but instead ofr trying to calculate it he turned his attention to her again as she stood. He too stood and turned to her, holding his arms steady as he grabbed for daggers which weren't there and instead of using those he tapped the ground with his foot. The kunai had not been disposed of and fell out of his pants when he tapped the ground in the proper way. He opened his hand and it shot up into his hand, getting caught on his ring finger and spinningunti he gripped it completely and switched the finger in the hole to his index. He spun it for a moment, in the silence of the room, and threw it her left shoulder where it was already wounded. The force used in throwing it was very little, and he ran after it instead of waiting for it to hit, once it neared her. She was closrer to a wall then she had been at first, and if the kunai missed he'd have to see where she was so that he could grab at her again. If he did catch her then he would pin her against the wall for as long as he could...by her shoulders.

Karin stared fixedly at Suka, though it appeared as if her eyes weren't focused at all. Her ear twitched though, and she blinked a couple times to clear her vision as she refocused her sight upon Suka. She saw him tap the ground, and then watched silently as he pulled out a kunai. Her eyes flicked towards the daggers he'd tossed at her earlier, but she saw they were too far away for her to use one right now. She doubted she could get over to them in time. Sure enough, a moment later Suka had thrown the Kunai. Karin quickly leapt back, trying to dodge it, but stopped as her back hit something hard. She froze, her eyes widening very slightly as she realized she'd run into the wall. She hadn't noted how close she was to it until now. She saw the kunai coming at her, and did the first thing that popped into her head. She simply let her legs give out, and slid down the wall quickly, leaving a smear of red where her back rubbed against it. Then she tried to quickly roll to her right, seeing Suka coming towards her right after the kunai.

He'd given the kunai that uch time so that he could make sure she would not dodge his own attack, and as she moved he was glad it was not in enough of an angled drection that it would change the accuracy of his attack. He'd made it to where she was just as she was almost out of range, but he slid into her-digging his claws into one of her shoulders to pin her to the wall, and going at her other shoulder with his other hand. If this worked then he might be able to wait out the rest of the amount of time that she would e out of cotrol-unless she overpowered him before then. If she did that then he might simply go into his second level of Nightmare and try at her that way...in that level he would definitely be stronger, but less accurate and more aggressive. He had not used his Nightmare energy at al...but that was probably more of a good thing then a bad...to injure her physically both with wounds and energy-depleting attacks might overwhelm her body in a state of discordsuch as the one that it was already in...

Karin closed her eyes for a seond, back slamming firmly against the wall again as she was pinned. She remained still for a second and then slowly looked to each of her shoulders, seeing his hands planted there, one with claws digging into her, and blinked a few times. She looked up at him next, just staring blankly at him as she sat against the wall. Her arms were straight by her sides now, hands resting limply on the ground. Her head slouched forward slightly as she stared at her chest, watching the blood continuiously dying her front red for a couple seconds. Then she looked back up at him, staring into his eyes. For a split second, they seemed to hold a look of extreme fear, but she blinked and they to the regular blank expression once again. Her ears were still flattened back, and her tail still flicking absently beside her, as if she were sitting against the wall because she wanted to, rather than the truth that she was actually pinned again.

Suka kept her pinned there and slowly pulled his claws out of her sholder, better pinning her with his new grip as he pushed her up against the wall and though he had noticed she still had fear in her eyes, if not for just a few seconds, he would not release her. The casual way in which she let him pin her was kind of agitating in a way. She was at a disadvantage now, and so he decided he might speak again. "Have you complete control of your own body?" he asked, this choice of words allowing him to recieve the answer he was looking for if she did answer him. She would tell him whetehr she was still Karin, or if she could have a completely different name that might come with this new personality. The longer they sat there the less time he would have to spend trying to fight her. That meant the longer the better, so he was in for a long long boring wait if she was not going to respond at all...

Karin stared at him silently, her expression blank once more as she looked straight at him. Her flattened ears twitched slightly as he spoke, and she hesitated before opening her mouth to reply. "...what are you talking about?" she asked softly, her voice almost monotonous, but with a slight hiss as well. "I am me... And in control of me..." She trailed off, staring straight past him as her eyes widened for a second before narrowing back into their blank look. Her tail was still flicking idly behind her as she looked back to his face, blinking a couple more times. She'd realized she was still firmly pinned against the wall, but he'd at least withdrawn his claws from her shoulder. She glanced at it now, surveying the damage without so much as the trace of a wince. Her injured back was still pressed against the wall, and she could feel her sweatshirt sticking to her from the amount of blood that was leaving her. But she didn't move, and instead just looked back at Suka.

He waited for a moment and then leant his face forward so that his eyes were no more than two and a half inches from hers and their noses were nearly touching. It seemed like she would be able to get away if she tried, butshe was not, and so he continued to speak after staring into her red eyes for a few moments. "Does the me who you are have a name?" he asked this as if he did not already knoiw her name, because in truth he was not sure if he did. That was a typical response from anyone who was asked that question but he was unsure of whether or not that would be good enough for him. He could smell her blood, it was actually a lot stronger than he would have at first imagined, but there were reasons for that which were obvious and there are no need to mention. He could also hear her breathing and smell her scent even over the blood now that he was this close to her...his wings folded a little when he had leant forward, but it was comfort they were seeking. If he recieved a valid answer then he would not do anything that might change the time it took for the outcome he wanted...but if he did not then he would do things he had not planned on doing at first but was now tempted to do. Things that are sterotypically expected of the weakling in distress as they call out to their friend who has been possessed by their inner demon...things meant to bring them back through sentimental words and not aggressive actions.

Karin stared at him for a moment in silence, taking in what he was saying. She still didn't try to resist, or move for that matter, except for her tail and eyes. But for now, her gaze was fixed upon him, for he was almost too close to her face for her to avoid doing so. She blinked a couple times as her ears perked very slightly to catch his words. "The me who I am is named-" She paused suddenly, a bit of confusion showing through to her face. But then it disappeared again and she continued like she hadn't paused. "Kazumi..." She blinked again and looked up at him, her expression as blank as ever once again, though a little confused again. She drew in a rather sharp breath suddenly, glancing down at her chest and shoulder, the only injuries she could easily see, and then looked back to him. They didn't hurt but... her breath was a little shaky now and she was sitting in a puddle of her own blood.

Suka noted that the puddles of blood were very large...and though he was supposed to be causing her to change back-this was not the way to weaken her. He would have to teach this Kazumi to use her Blood Demon abilities. "Kazumi huh? Well Kazumi...your breathing is off..." He said this and let go of her, sitting back. "And you've lost a lot of blood...that could be why. I need you to think only about blood now..." he did not allow he any time to protest, and if she did he'd be ignoring it. "I need you to think only qabout blood and nothing else, and when you do think about it...think about your blood personally and think of it as your possession." He said this, because he knew that thinking only about blood and being in distress would cause her to change to blood demon, but that would further handicap her in that it would cause her to ignore all things but the will to fight. He'd figured out how to do such, but only by assumption, and right now he needed to teach her to heal herself. If she wcould do it this one time, the blood would understand that it needed to return to her simply by her attitude toward her wounds when near it. He had to stop fighting her to make it possible though, and she had to listen. He could attempt to control his Angelic abilities, but he did not know what these were and had no clue on whether or not he could heal her...he knew for sure he'd not be able to return her own blood to her body...only she could do that...Hopefully she would listen.

Karin, no... Kazumi blinked a couple times, head tilted very slightly as she stared at Suka. He'd released her, but she still just sat where she was, breathing somewhat heavily still as she looked back down at her injuries, and then to her shoulders where he'd been holding her. "...my blood?" she asked quietly, and looked beside herself at an edge of the puddle she was sitting in as she listened to him continue. She blinked a couple more times and then looked back up at him before leaning the back of her head gently against the wall. "..how..?" she asked softly, her voice still sounding partly like a hiss, yet monotonous at the same time, and somewhat faint. What did she have to do after she imagined the blood as being hers, which it was... so that shouldn't be too hard. Her tail was still flicking beside her as normally as ever and her ears were perked rather than flattened back like before. She stared at him blankly, waiting for a response.

Suka blinked a couple times. "Just do it, oncentrate. Once you do that, the blood will hear your body's want for it and will force it's way back inside of you. You only need to concentrate on wanting the blood, wanting the blood because it is yours." he said this and then sat there motionlessly, the first time he'd healed hismelf he had been trying to grab at a puddle of blood he could not reach, so that he could throw it at someone. That someone had pushed him and he'd cut his arm on some metal, but he could not reach it...and he had wanted it and started cursing himself for not being big enough to reach it. That was when the blood had swam back through his veins. It was a very childish moment, but he had proftitted from it anyway, and now he was hoping he could teach Kazumi to think the same way as he had. Now he did not need to, but to tell her that would confuse her, not much else. He hoped this new explanation would help, but was not certain of that...if it didn't he would have to force her to change form again anyway. It would be a change for the worst, but at least the blood would be attracted to her again, and he could simply pin her down until her wounds healed themselves...then find some none lethal way to protect himself from her until her Blood Demon form calmed itself...

Kazumi stared at him a moment longer and then slowly nodded her head before shutting her eyes. Her hands were resting beside her sides, in the edges of the puddle she was sitting in. Her fingers slowly curled into fists as she thought to herself quietly, her expression still completely blank even as she concentrated. She kept telling herself it was her blood, like Suka had said. It really was hers, and it was easy to imagine it as being so since it was in fact the truth. She wasn't sure exactly what she was doing, or what was supposed to happen, but she continued telling herself that it was hers and that it should return to her to make her feel better. Because, even if she didnt hurt, she still was finding it a little difficult to breathe, and her clothes were soaked in blood and no longer comfortable to wear.

Suka sat there quietly now, simply waiting for the blood to start returning as he could see she wasconcentrating and kept silent nad still so that he would not atttract her attention at all. When the blood returned to her body through her open wounds, the blood that stained her clothes and made them heavier would not leave and so her wounds would not completely geal, but other then that blood she would probably be mostly healed whenever her concentration reached it's peak. If that did not occur she would transform again, and he would have to forget about protecting her from herself as she would probably not be very happy to see he who dealt her the blows that caused the wounds that distress her to the point of discontent that caused her to become vulnerable to the blood demon. It would be hard to take her down in a real fight, but if he had really been fighting her then there would be a lot more blood on the floor, prbably coming from both of them. Suka could not do anything but guide her, and right now the best way to do that was t set an example but he could ntot since this was the only time she would need to do what she was doing, of course that was until he had to teach KArin it all over again...But until then he could not help her anymore with it.

Kazumi kept her eyes shut, face blank as she concentrated, still repeating to herself that it was her blood and no one elses. And, since it was hers, it should return and make her feel better. She didn't realize that it would stay in her clothes so her comfort wouldn't entirely be restored, but that was probably a good thing. But, most importantly, it'd be easier to breathe, or so she'd been told, so that's what she wanted right now. She drew in another jagged breath, but otherwise stayed completely relaxed, just sitting there against the wall. Currently she was unaware of anything else, except for her desire to have her blood return. And slowly, after what seemed like forever, it very slowly began making it's way back towards her, the puddle she was sitting in slowly diminishing in size.

Suka watched iwth interest and when it was finally beginning to work he stood up amnd moved out of the way of the other puddle of blood, for soon it would hear aswell and would crawl its way back to her body. Once she was healed he'd be able to help her, if she allowed him to at least. And though these wounds healed while they were in her, they acutally would not be able to heal exceptfor naturally when they returned, and even then they would take what mgiht seem like forever. Suka threw a small jolt of Nightmare energy at the kunai in the wall, and it shattered. Once it was shattered it reappeared in it;'s box in his pants and hefelt a little less vulnerabl e for her if she contiued to attack him once she was healed. He would try to wavoid wounding her if he was able...that might make it easier to talkto her.....but it would definitely be more painful for him. This would almost be over though, that would outweigh the pain.
