Kotaro closed his eyes as he felt himself starting to black out again. He could feel his life fading away. So this is it. I'm going to die here.....now.....unable to even help someone who stuck close to me even at the risk of my own life. He felt more tendrils go around him. He then heard Rose's voice. He opened his eyes, just barely a blur. He felt her hand around his. He heard her start to hum. He then thought of Amelia. "Not.....again...." He said just barely over a whisper. He started to struggle. "......I'm not going....." He managed to free his other hand. "......To let another person....." He broke the tendrils around his upper body. ".....DIE BECAUSE OF ME!!!"

He grabbed Rose's arm with one hand and the reached outward with the other. He was so weak, but he kept going. He grabbed a part of the tendrils that made the chest of the demon and yanked with all that was left in him. He tore a hole through it, sunlight breaking through. He looked at Rose. "I......" He felt himself fading again and closed his eyes. He yanked on Rose's arm and pulled her free of the tendrils, throwing her out of the demon. He then grabbed the stone that was still connected and yanked it free of the tendrils. He screamed as the stone was crushed and the tendrils started to burn. They were competely engulfed in flame. the tendril holding him went limp just as he blacked out and he started to fall to the ground.
