Damn it-- He hadn't meant to put Alucard in harm's way. Raidou dodged the claws and brought the sword all the way through the Kishin Egg's left wings. The monster shrieked and nearly fell into the river, but managed to back off along the shore instead, twitching.

Raidou drew a sharp breath. He had to keep his cool. This wasn't a Tento lord, no matter how much it reminded him of one -- he couldn't start thinking of that now.

Sorry.
