Levitating within the pentagram was an extremely tall, humanoid figure, clad in what look to be the dark blue habit of some sort of priest, albeit one not of worldly origin. A hat similar to the head of a bat rests atop his head, seemingly affixed to it as part of his form, with a pair of large wings coming from the sides, and strands of platinum blonde hair flowing down from his temples. The clear signs that this man is not a mere mortal were his skin: a sickly, pale blue color, it is stretched thin near his cheekbones and eyesockets, giving him a wicked appearance; and his wings -- resembling those of a bat only vaguely, they appear to be like living blades, with a clear, sharp edge along them-- easily sharp enough to cut through skin with a mere graze. His fingers are extremely long, with sharp, knife-like claws coming from the end.
What was especially odd was the pool of blood quickly forming under him; It didn't take much time for Kodachi to realize this demon was literally leaking blood with every breath he took, nor did it take her long to realize that he seemed unfazed by this, save for a vague grimace every few seconds.
Did I really do the right thing? Kodachi ponders. I wanted my Ranma-darling back at any cost! But... this thing looks...
"...Why did you release me from that prison Berial placed me within 100 years ago?"
"Eh?? I--I want my Ranma-darling! I couldn't do it by normal means, so I summoned you." Kodachi sputtered.
"You summoned me to fulfill some petty, base desire, child!? Just who do you think you are?"
"I am the Black Rose, Kodachi Kuno, and I am your new mistress!"
The demon chuckled softly, before breaking out into a hysterical cackle. "A human girl wants to control me..." he said, trailing off into another laugh. "...I'm sure you think I'm bound by this pentagram you drew on the floor as well, am I correct?"
"You're not??" she said, looking at the instructions again. "...Oh no, I didn't!"
The demon soared towards Kodachi, who was at the same stepping back and reaching for her gymnast's ribbon.
"What, exactly, will stop me from killing you right here and now, Kodachi?" the demon asked, the sound of several bones breaking and joints dislocating as he lashes a hand forward, his hand moving to grasp Kodachi's throat.
"Stop it!"
The door to the room is busted down, and a voice rings out from the doorway.
"Just what do you plan to do to her, Jedah?"
Kodachi just groaned.
