An invisible force surrounds him, unseen and unnoticed by all but a supernatural eye is a monstrous beast with a long snake-like body. Adorned with long sharp claws and gnashing teeth it is aggressive in protecting its host and lashes out when threatened.
-------------------
The yokai Kazarisu is shaped like a long-furred body animal, similar to that of a weasel of some kind. Stretching to be around 8 feet long ending with two short legs on one end and a head on the other, its paws are long sharp claws that can easily hook into and slash at prey. The beast has a tan coloration to it with white going along the belly, eyes of shimmering blue, and inspects anything that comes close as it wraps its long snake-like body around Ricter.
Interestingly enough, no one can see it, touch or, or even feel it- until it's threatened. The only time you know it's there is when someone attempts to bring harm to its host, in which it will attack with its claws or teeth, aiming to blunt the damage somewhat but also return the favor so to speak. The counterattack feels very real, and those who do so will simply feel small cuts, slashes, or bites along their body.
Anyone with with heightened senses can tell something is around him, those who investigate with supernatural abilities further will notice a hazy outline of something. The monster does not give off an evil aura, more neutral, at the same time it doesn't look to harm the person it's wrapped around either. Yet they do not speak and act more like a feral beast with a hint of intelligence. However, when his host is damaged they work to stop the bleeding in some way, using its wind powers to seal cuts closed.

"I keep this photo of mum and dad in my pocket, without it i feel weak. The doctors say its substance B that makes me strong, but if you ask me: It's substance dead parents that brings me my strength. I exert the guilt of not saving them onto the object or the foe, and they collapse under it. They can't handle it like i can. Some say its a gift, but if i could go back to being that 5 year old boy again with alive parents and no strong, I'd do it in less than a heartbeat. Because my heart barely beats anymore, neither do my parent's hearts: they're dead."
