The answer is pretty much simple. As you've stated he's clever and smart, but no one is perfect. As most know, the Sharingan is a dangerous tool. As I said, "Reikoku, the way I've personified him, he's smart, and he'll do anything to make your weakness, your strength and make you strength your weakness..." And so, Reikoku turned Arufa weakness (witness of death), into Arufa's strength (Awakening). Reikoku would easily be able to defeat Arufa, but he would still have to be cautious of his Sharingan's ability, even if Arufa hadn't awoke any. I believe somewhere I up, I mentioned Honey being gone? So it would be needless to say, he could sense he making her way back home, seeing a one would always need a tactical retreat.
