It's a brilliant idea, and it's going to work! Gojyo keeps his tip aimed right at the wolf as Sharak hauls back and flings him... but he's not at all aerodynamic, and keeping himself aligned is harder than he'd anticipated. He strikes the wolf in the neck, because Sharak's throw was true, but it's his handle, not his blade, that hits.

He manages to scratch the wolf-thing as he falls to the ground, but that's a pretty pathetic success. ]

Shit.

[ The ayakashi laughs, a shudder-inducing wet kind of sound, and it steps deliberately over him, heading for the now unarmed Sharak. With a deep breath (metaphorically -- not having lungs is weird) Gojyo twists himself about and lunges forward, burying his blade in the wolf's underbelly all the way to the hilt. The wolf shrieks, lunging to the side, but Gojyo uses all his strength and twists the opposite direction. He falls to the floor again, having nearly gutted the creature. It's alive, but barely.

Gojyo laughs, breathlessly. ]

Told you it was a good idea.
