The ensuing attack was swift and graceful. He couldn't tell which one was the clone and which one wasn't, as he saw the extra Arcanis standing at the rooftop. At this point, he was unaware that this extra was working on a way to extract both Asura and Yume out of that situation. Instead, he was caught up in the motions of the attack, slashing the beast from its back and curving to its side, using its swords like thumb-tacks to pin a path along the monster's surface. He'd have to learn that.

When he landed on the roof with Yume, he nodded quickly at the Arcanis next to him, still unsure of this one was real or not. But given the actions of the one in the fight, he felt that perhaps this one was a clone after-all. No one would want to give up on the action and stay in the sidelines. And that held true for Asura as well. Quickly punching the side of the building they stood on, he held the rubble, a collection of only a handful of rocks. "I can provide support, alright." Poising his arm to throw the first piece of cement at the back of the Ram's head, he channeled a droplet of Chakra into the piece of debris, lighting it quickly into a blaze. Of course with Yume still clinging to his arm like an octopus, it would be difficult to provide his throw with respectable force, but hitting such a large target was no tall order.

One quick hurl, and the flaming cement flew towards the Ram, making a minor explosion upon bursting on its back. But using Chakra Infusion on projectiles allowed for him to light any surface the weapon touched on fire, and so the Ram straightened its back quickly, recognizing the explosion and the ensuing small fire on its fur.

And all that was from one piece of rubble. He had a hand full of them. But before continuing, he turned to Yume, suddenly aware of her hold on him. Annoyed, he shook free of her. "Oh you just happened to get some elixir that this monster is looking for?" Everything about the girl was suspicious, and the look in his eyes did not hide his sentiment on that.

Yume laughed and clung tighter to Demon as they ascended onto the rooftop. "This feels like a fairytale, doesn't it cutie?" Her hug on his arm loosened as they landed, but it still did not stray. Her expression dropped from a bright smile to a rather tame and content expression. As he punched brick to hurl flaming rubble at the beast, she finally noticed two Arcanises. Yume stared at the one on the rooftop for a second. She turned to the one on the ground and for an uncomfortably long while until she was shaken off by Demon.

Looking up at his annoyed face, she thought she had to mirror it back. After all, he was accusing her of some strange thing she had no idea about. "How was I supposed to know what this is? A guy gave it to me as a present!" she pouted and crossed her arms. "This rock here could be well worth 128 000 Ryo if it weren't for the elixir or whatever inside..."

Yume closed her crimson eyes and tilted her head to the side as if she were in deep contemplation. She'd reopen them after about a minute, or when Demon yelled at her some more (whichever came first). Her lips curled up into a sly smile and she looked up at her object of obsession and giggled.

"Well if it's that important to you, cutie..." her fingers hooked onto the chain and pendant and she snapped it off with a jerk. "I'll let you have it. You, only." The pendant and chain went flying directly above the two in the air, which give him ample time to grab it before it falls. Let's hope he was a good catch.

The next move had Yume jump off the building directly in front of Arcanis. There must have been something wrong with the spatial construct, as the period after her jumping off and before just landing had disappeared altogether. Yet, the time it took for her to jump down remained the same. The moment she appeared in front of Arcanis, her head leaned forward for her lips to lock with his. It was only for a brief moment, considering the situation and she pulled away. "You wouldn't make a lady fight, would you?" she smiled.

The woman looked up to Demon with a smile and she waved giddily. Giving the beast one quick snarky glance she ran off in the direction the others fled to, flickering infrequently like static and white noise of a television.

She didn't kiss Demon goodbye. Now ain't that a thought.

Arc watched as Demon began to rain fire on the beast. Not exactly what he had in mind but it would do the trick. the clone on the roof withdrew his 2 kunai and threw them HARD one at each head. The guy and girl he had just saved were bickering like siblings next to him. But didn't have time to deal with their antics. The girl seemed upset about the boys off hand remarks Arc geussed about something or other that caused this mess. Just then she ripped the gem he had seen earlier off he neck and threw it in the air. He figured this point in time was not a time to deal with relationship issues. He slipped the gem in his pocket and began charging his chakra for a massive attack. But while he did that the girl did something unexpected and he was unable to stop her while he was focusing. she dropped back into the war zone. Arc on the ground would have to deal with her. as his jutsu was almost ready.

His clone seemed to have hit a weak spot on the Beast as it writhed for a moment. In that time the girl that was constantly wraped around the other guys arm appeared in front of him. Suddenly and without warning she kissed him. Her lips were soft as she stole the kiss from him. It took him by surprise and she said something to him which Arc missed due to a strange ringing sensation in his ears. Odd. She then ran off which was good. He didn't want her to get caught up in the next attack.

The Arcanis on the ground began to charge his chakra. The Beast seemed to be recovering from the attacks from above. Now Arc thought. Do it now.

The Arcanis on the roof gathered his chakra and even the very air seem to gather into his jtsu. the wind picked up whiping at his clothing as a ball of black chakra built up then condensed in his hand. Then it was time. "Do it now" Arcanis released the jutsu. The black bead traveled toward the beast quickly expanded as it did. "Time to go." Arcanis said putting a firm hand on the mans shoulder conveying the urgency. He then leaped to a nearby rooftop hoping the guy would follow him.

The black ball moved toward the Beast increasing in speed until it struck the beast square between the shoulders. The resulting explosion was huge casting the beast at Arcs feet. He had finished charging his chakra. Arc released the jutsu again this time striking the beast right between the eyes on the left heads face. The explosion floored the beast.

{depending on whether of not you want to end this or let me i will do on of two things. if you want the kill I'll end my post here otherwise I will do the following.}

The beast fell to the ground. The head that was struck by his jutsu seemed completely incapacitated. however the other head still shifted trying to regain awareness. "Back to hell with you" Arc would say before slitting his throat with his ancestral sword. Doing this would kill the beast while leaving it's brain intact for intelligence extraction. Arcanis would then return to the two on the rooftop. His clone that had caught the gem would hand it to the guy before dispelling the clone that was with the man. He still had no idea what his name was and he was fine with leaving it that way at this juncture. "A clean up squad should be on it's way soon I have to report this to the Raikage immediately." he would then leave in the direction of the kages offices.
