The beast cocked it's head at them, and took steps near to them. Obviously, it was attracted to the camp for some reason. It let out a roar and came running at Keioko.
"I don't think it wants vegetables, Kei," Bolt said with a frown. He drew his katana and the gargantuan hedgehog came running. He didn't look at it directly, since he couldn't see it. However, it's target wasn't Bolt.. it was Kei. It saw she could see it in the darkness. It felt that she was staring at it in almost a challenge. With a sound like a freight train, it ran at Kei with incredible speed. Bolt decided it best to dodge, and thought Kei would be safe. He looked at her to see what she would do.

The Jedi Knight paused, sensing another of the creatures he had just defeated. He reached over with his right hand, pulling the hilt of his lightsaber off his belt and flipping it to orient it properly, then took off into the forest, making directly toward the location of the creature with all avaible Force-enhanced speed.
(for those wondering: no, i didn't turn on the lightsaber)

She heaved a steady sigh, her entire demeaor calm as she drew one of her blades. As it drew nearer, she stared it down, holding the blade in her right hand. Just before the beast rammed her, she rolled to the left side and held her ninjato out with two hands in a horizontal position, the blade facing the giant hedgehog. She dug the blade into the beast's body, the force of it's nonceasing motion digging it further into the body and down it's entire length.
The sharp quills raked at Kei's skin and clothing, cuttign her skin and spraying it's own blood all over her. As it passed and rammed into a tree at the end of the clearing, she stood up from her semi-crouching position and faced it, holding her blade at waist-level.
She had long deep scratches along the side of her face and right side of her body, which small amounts of blood seemed to seep through her black and red clothing. She held upon her face an impassive expression as her skin healed itself instantly, as did her clothing mend itself.

The beast, as it died, let out a death-groan. It's last sound was one of pure malice, as if a curse in some unknown tounge. It fell down in a massive heap of blood, muscle, and organs. The stench of it's insides were sickening. It smelled like what the child of the undead and a used diaper would smell like, sould such an unholy union be permitted to exist in the world.
Bolt, however, looked at Kei in both awe and worry. She took some damage, but seemed to be alright. Also, the fact that she just killed such a large beast by herself filled him with love for her. He'd be affectionate after the mission. For now, he had to be professional.
"What about that body?" He asked, "We can't just leave it here. It smells so bad..."

Keioko smiled softly and took a rag from a pouch attached to her obi, then wiped the blood of her blade. She sheathed her blade and put away the cloth before pushing aside a few strands of hair.
"I can teleport it away from here, perhaps a few miles? Let scavengers pick at it?"

Bolt liked what he saw of Kei. He wanted desperately to just tackle her with a hug and kiss her. But... Killey was right next to them and Kane would be back any minute. He had to restrain himself and keep his mind on the present.
"Good idea," He said, smiling and adding, "Also, I'll try to keep better watch next time." He laughed and pushed Killey down to go to sleep. He messed up. Dodge a giant hedgehog? What was he thinking? It could have hurt Keioko!

Keioko smiled and nodded, walking over to the downed beast and wrapping an arm around it's muzzle before waving to Bolt. The two then dissipated into thin air.

It was right about then that the Jedi burst into the clearing, his lightsaber held back, not activated. He looked around in abject confusion; no longer sensing the beast he had been pursuing.

Bolt looked at the man and scratched his head. It was quiet for a moment before he asked, "Can I help you?"

A few moments later, the blood-soaked demoness returned facing Bolt, between the visitor and he.
"Well, found a place for it that should be out of the way..."

Calmly, he returned his lightsaber to his belt, and crossed his arms in front of him, his hands disappearing into the wide sleeves of his cloak.
I had been pursuing a beast that I sensed a short while ago. I already killed one, but I assume there are more. But now, I can't sense the one I was chasing any longer.

"Keioko killed one," He motioned to Kei, "Now. Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

He bowed forward slightly, spreading his arms out to the side in a gesture of peacefulness.
Forgive my lack of manners. I am Revan, Jedi Knight and guardian of the Republic. I am on this planet to determine if there is a Sith presence here.

The female demoness, Keioko turned and faced Revan as he introduced himself, her own body bending forewards into a traditional Japanese bow. She smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Revan-san."

Bolt, impolitely, didn't bow. He looked at the man suspisciously. People he meets in woods late at night don't really get his best side.
"I don't really know anything about Jedi, though I admit that I have heard stories," He crossed his arms, "I heard you use a laser sword. You use psychic powers. That's all I've heard."
