"H...hey!" Kaga felt as though something was creeping up his leg and looked down to see a shadow creature lying practically flat in the grass. In reaction, he started hitting it with the crowbar while it did its level best to pull him down, and finally yanked free, although he was unsure how much actual damage he'd done- some black liquid had spattered around, but it was very hard to tell how much damage could be lethal to a thing made of shadow.

He started moving towards the injured person, actually shouting- he might not have been much of a fighter, but was unwilling to see anyone die in front of him.
