Not seeing that the water would keep Inazuma completely captured, she summoned up over two dozen clones who allowed themselves to be trapped with Inazuma with the water. They grabbed at his demon self, tackling him to the ground. "Hey! Inazuma!" The real Mitsuki had jumped in with her clones, and had about ten replacement clones fighting the other demons with Secret. Inazuma's eyes were the only thing really changed on the face. The rest of his body was completely dog demon, his eyes a mixture of black and red. He also had fangs now, and he snarled at her and those razor sharp fangs got perilously close to her face as she attempted to hold him down.
"Inazuma, you moron! How'd you get bit?! Come on, wake up! Don't make us hurt you!" She pleaded, as water swirled above and around them. She understood how hard it was to come back from the dark once you went there. Every time she let her instincts take over during the full moon, when her eyes went red in the moonlight, she became almost someone else. It was always hard to call back the sane part of yourself to remind yourself why you had to return in the first place.
Damn if she'd let her friend give in to the dark. "Damn it, Inazuma! Look at me!" She held Inazuma's snarling face in one hand, forcing his jaw shut. "Look at me...Right in the eye." She murmured, forcing his red eyes to look into hers that were now almost black with concentration. She saw just a hint of the old Inazuma there, just enough to give her hope. The clones held him down as she stared into the deep depths of his eyes.
"Come on, come back now. Don't stay in the dark anymore, Inazuma. I know, it's hard, it's like you're in a locked cage. You feel like it's impossible to get out...But you have the key, you can open the cage if you just try. So come on...Come back to us, to the light. Please." She begged in a voice that could barely be heard. If this didn't work, she was in close quarters with a murderous demon. If it did work, she was in close quarters with her close friend. She was hoping for the second choice.

Images of the past flashed in front of Inazuma's eyes. Painful, shame filled memories that he had forced himself to hide deep inside now came to show themselves in all their terrible glory. Inazuma through himself at the bars holding him back from running away from his past.
"Stop! I won't see this again! Stop!"
He screamed at the picture brought to life as he continued to throw his body into the bars. Suddenly, the memories blurred out of focus. They mixed into one solid memory, the paint like thoughts moving together to create a master piece, both familiar and welcoming. A lone girl wearing a red spring dress, her blond hair flowing playfully behind her, walked toward Inazuma, a bottle of wine held in her hands.
"What is the matter Inazuma? You seem sad."
The girl brushed a hand over his face, taking away tears that and come to his face.
"Come now, let's have a drink, it will make you feel better."
She handed him the bottle and the cool wine fell down his throat, warming his belly. Inazuma closed his eyes as he drank deeply of the potion, opening them only to find everything but the girl gone. The bars, the darkness, the sadness; all of it disappeared in the blink of an eye. A voice was heard, an angry low sound more like growling then speaking. Inazuma turned to see the dog demon standing near him.
"Foolish human, only death awaits you here."
"It is not I that will die here, foul demon, it is you."
Light arced in from every angle as energy was being pulled from the world that surrounded them. Each arc meet upon the demon, burning him throughout. It screamed and tried to move but the energy held it in place. Inazuma pored more energy into the demon, but still it would not die. The girl came up to Inazuma, holding him and whispered.
"...Come back to us, to the light. Please."
Inazuma held her back, the light glowing ten times brighter. There was a blast the blinded Inazuma, a light brighter then anything he had ever seen.
The dog demon that faced Mitsuki stopped its snarling for a moment before crying out in pure pain. Its face morphed back into its normal state. Clones rolled off of the smaller shoulders as he shrank back. Inazuma through his arms around Mitsuki in a strong hug and yelled.
"Oh, never leave me again! Never do you here!"
He opened his eyes to see Mitsuki staring back at him.
"Wait... you're not Hangyasha!"

"Hey. You two. Enough sappy stuff." Foxx said from just outside the water barrier. "We've got a few demons left. We'll have the little reunion later. The barrier will protect you, Inazuma, if you can't fight, but that doesn't mean you can relax. There's no definite with water and lightning. It all changes every second." She struck down an approaching demon with her lightning. "We need to get out of here. All of us."
((what are we gonna do about everyone else???))

((I have absolutely no idea...they all kind of just died on us...))
When Mitsuki found herself being hugged by Inazuma, she froze and looked down at him. "Huh?" Then he suddenly shouted something about never leaving again, which just cnofused her. Then he went and accused her of not being...some girl named Hangyasha. "Ok, time out buddy boy. Wecome back to the bright side, literally. Who's Hangyasha, cause as you said it ain't me." She said, taking his jaw in her hand again to study his eyes, his face.
"Well, you look sane enough. Scared us there..." She murmured, then stood up. "Now that you're back...we have a fight on our hands." She said, looking down at him as he sat on the ground. "Stay here if you don't feel you can win in a fight against some snarling dog demon. If you can, feel free to kick their asses." She suggested, then walked out of the wall of water, soaked to the bone after reaching the other side but not giving a crap since she got to fight again. Now that Inazuma was okay...if not slightly weirder than usual...there was nothing to worry about but for the demons that insisted on trying to kill them all.

"I'll handle things from here." Foxx said gently pulling the water from Mitsuki's clothes and hair. She herself entered the water barrier, and calling to her lightning, then let it flow out to the nearest demons. "Inazuma. Shall we move forward with the others?" She asked holding out a hand to him.

"Sure, I'm ready."
Inazuma took her hand and added his own lightning to the mix as he stood.

Secret jumped and quickly flew over the wall of water. She landed quickly--too quickly, jarring herself for a moment--and then was stared at by one of the dog demons.
"You are not human," it said. Secret stared at it. "You must be a yokai, or a hanyo. Humans do not have wings."
Secret rolled her eyes. "Shuddap, baka inu," she said, and promptly broke its nose with a quick whack of her pocket knife. Where she'd learned Japanese, who knows. That's not what mattered anyway.

"Tch...Baka...Idiot...Funny..." Mitsuki uttered, getting way out of the way of the lightning. If not for the fact that she was a bit preoccupied at the moment, she'd have taken the time to laugh over Secret's insults. Languages in general were no problem, she'd taken to learning them once she got annoyed when she couldn't understand people. So she'd sent clones all over the world, where they learned the different languages. Then, when she'd summoned them back, she absorbed all of their information. Handy little trick. "Where'd you learn Japanese?" Mitsuki asked, going next to Secret as she twirled her pocket knife between her fingers.

She shrugged. "I honestly have no clue. Probably accidentally learned it from an owl. You know, I can actually communicate with owls and a few nocturnal birds. It's handy when you need to find civilization." Indeed she could. She also would accidentally learn a bit of another language from the owl if it had been around humans who spoke that language.
Well, and being connected to the earth by her powers helped. A lot. Because Mother Nature listens to everything around her, and when Secret listens to Mother Nature, she learns stuff. Handy stuff.

Foxx smiled and sent out a wave of pure lightning at the demons attacking her water barrier. "Hmph. All these demons are getting on my nerves." She mumbled as she pushed harder with her powers. The water she held in her hair moved irately as she swept her powers toward the water where she pushed a wave at some of the demons farther away.

"Well, let's make this a bit easier for those inside the water." She suggested, without warning pulling out a specially designed gun, it fit in the palm of her hand, but packed a punch with its plasma bullets. "Hey guys," She called, attracting the attention of several demons who were conveniently lined up around the water barrier. With a single shot, a tiny hole formed in the first demon's forehead, then it was like dominos as the bullet passed right through each one without a problem. Right there, half of there number was defeated. "Better, Foxx?" She called over the sound of the swirling water.

Secret laughed at her friend and helped in her own way, making quicksand under some of their feet, causing them to go down quickly, quickly, quickly.

Skirting around some quicksand that had just appeared, Mitsuki decided they weren't sinking fast enough. It was time, she decided, for a little insulting. "Hey Secret, ever played Extreme Whack-A-Mole? A point for each demon you get to stay down." She explained, and without warning jumped on the head of a demon as he was pulled into the quicksand. "One point for me!" She exclaimed as the demon disappeared and she got back onto solid ground. "Better catch up, Secret, or you're gonna lose the game." She warned, jumping on the head of another and sending him completely under.

Foxx smiled and laughed at the two. In that moment her barrier faltered, and two demons jumped through behind her. 'Crap!' She didn't have time to do more than think it as she brought one down with her lightning just as the other tackled her and pinned her two the ground.
She screamed as it snarled in her face. "GET OFF!!" She yelled and pushed at it with her lightning. She easily sent it flying, and put her attention to her water barrier. Rubbing the back of her head, she slowly raised it again. "Ouch."

"Crud!" Mitsuki uttered, without hesitation shooting the demon between the eyes as it flew out of the barrier. "You ok Foxx, Inazuma? You aint bit, right?" She asked, jumping and stomping on yet another demon to force it into the ground.
