Yuki woke slowly, finding she had a perfect spot to aim a death kick. She did so, but her foot went right through. Shrieking as the shadowman whipped around, she recalled what had happened with Orine and quickly backed up into the shadows, yelling "Don't let him get at your shadow!" But suddenly, it felt like there were ten shadowmen around here, everywhere, pressing up and leaving bruises and dodging her fists and hair ties. The shadows were their strength, Yuki realized, struggling to escape, but it seemed like the darkness was pulling her in. "No, no no, stappit!" she screamed, but the fists and kicks didn't let up, and Yuki wondered if this was what it felt like to be beat up by a gang. Or the mafia. On her hands and knees, she crawled slowly out into the torchlight as the blows ceased, as the shadowpeople had had enough, and inspected herself in a small shard of glass on the floor. She looked terrible- she had one black eye, and there were cuts on her face. There was a huge bruise on her side, she could feel, and now she just dropped limply to the ground. "Shizuka... Eiko..." she called weakly.
