Damon poofed into a cloud before landing, dark purple smoke curling along the ground before almost rewinding, collecting back into place and forming a solid Damon. (With severely messed-up hair, of course.) "Rei?... Dammit, you don't know when to quit," he said. "I almost had the thing!" He clenched his fists, taking a few steps forward. "You've got to stop letting your fear get the best of you! Now the entire plan is ruined, and you... you don't even know what's going on, do you? You're probably thinking about how much pain you're in. Or how I should be grateful." A spark wound around his arm and faded hastily, expressing his anger as it flickered back into sight around his opposite shoulder. "What's with the light show? And can the demon come back?"

Rei landed and didn't feel as though she could move for a moment, but when Damon began speaking, she flinched at the sound and made herself stand. There was more than just fear in her eyes now; there was exhaustion and some other look with no name. When Damon finished, Rei's blue eyes locked directly into his own. "You're wrong. I don't care how much pain I'm in, nor do I expect any sort of gratitude from a person like you." Rei stood favoring her right leg, but she stood confidently. "The demon has been sealed again, so no, the most you'll get when you try to reawaken it is what you just saw; me." Yes, Damon still scared her, but she didn't have to be afraid of herself anymore... at least until the seal had to be strengthened again.

Damon seemed to calm down, sighing. "At least we know it's not so bad. Give me another go and let me start at full capacity, and it shouldn't be too bad. I've killed one demon," he said, taking a moment to remember it. "I don't intend for it to become a habit, but they're just about the only things I can kill safely without having to deal with repercussions." The claws faded back into the air as he popped his knuckles.

Rei stared at Damon like he just said he was a flying pig. "What? Give you another go?" She just stood in shocked silence for a moment. "You can certainly get that idea out of your head before it goes anywhere. I'm not-" Her eyes went to the forest, as though she'd find something that made sense before moving back to Damon. "I'm not going to give you another opportunity to fight the Shinigami." Rei looked up and placed her hands over her eyes. Exhaustion was not something she was familiar with.

"I look at it this way," he said, drawing a knife. "Either you let me fight that thing again once I've rested up, or I get to kill you. Either way, I win." He blinked, noticing how exhausted she was. He reached into his pouch, producing what looked like a Cocoa Puff, and sliced it in the middle. "Here," he said, handing her half. "It's my last one. It'll bring you about back to normal." He ate his half, receiving a more mild burst of energy than he would have had he eaten the whole thing. "It's my last one, and I'm not sure where to buy them, so you'd better be thankful."

Rei took the pill as though she had no idea what was going on anymore. She didn't eat it, just took it, stared at it, and then did nothing with it. "I... should be thankful... to you?" 'Where does this logic come from?....Where did he come from?' Rei sighed. "Okay, you know what? Look at it however you want, but it's not going to happen." Her eyes darted to the forest behind Damon, which was still the way back to the Academy. "You are not going to fight it again, and you are not going to kill me. Either way..." Damon received a hard stare. He'd taken advantage of her fear the first time, but she wouldn't let him this time. "...it's not going to happen."

"Have it your way," he said, her half of the pill dissolving and drifting into his mouth to solidify. He swallowed and continued. "I'd watch your back, if I were you. I've come close to killing two students so far, both of them with demons within them. You think you're special?" He shook his head slowly. "I could make another airbomb right now, but as it turns out, I've got far more important matters to attend to." He turned, facing toward the school, pausing for a moment. "I'll be in touch." With that, he vanished into the air. ((xD Dramatic exits!))

When Damon was gone, Rei allowed herself a shiver; she never wanted to meet him again... ever. Her whole body seemed to relax and she exhaled deeply. A moment passed before Rei simply crumpled to the ground, onto her knees. Her arms hugged her body as though she were cold, but in reality, the cold never bothered her. Tears slid down her face, but she didn't make a sound. I'll be in touch. Those horrible words were the last thing Rei hoped to hear.
After a short while, Rei pushed herself to her feet- wincing as the claw wounds reopened- and limped back to the Academy for a night that lacked any form of sleep for fear of having a nightmare. She flinched at every sound, every stir, every breeze.
Who knew what the wind could carry?
