She wanted to scream. She wanted to tear the thing to pieces with her bare hands, burn it to the ground and scatter the ashes so that there wouldn't be any of them left. These things shouldn't exist, shouldn't be able to hurt people anymore. She'd been angry before, but this..... turning all that pain and emptiness outward and lashing out with it..... it may be the closest she'd ever gotten to true hatred.

Funny how it took losing her heart to reach the depths of such black sentiments.....

Xikkuyo took a moment to catch her breath once the Shadow was gone, tossing her hair over her shoulder as she straightened and staring wordlessly down where it had been. A long, shaky sigh, and she turned to retreat back to Axel's side, once more as muted as though nothing had happened. Was that enough? Would he want her to fight more things? Was killing those creatures going to be her job from now on? She'd never liked conflict, or making a scene, but.....

If it meant exterminating those once and for all, she could definitely make an exception.
