Prayer #43 with Keith:

They say that nora are like stray animals - cats, dogs, monkeys, etc. I'm going away for a few days and I don't know if these poor stray cats will get fed while I'm gone. I'd feel better knowing someone was watching over them...

The roof?

[He may seem confused, but he is more familiar than the two of them about the sort of power shinki can possess like the power Goten has. It's why he doesn't argue as he goes to land on the roof.]

[handsome_genius]

[ No sooner does Hitsugaya land than Yoon gets nervous again. But he takes a deep breath and focuses on... the roof. As best he can, anyway. He knows he's looking for something out of place. He's never gotten particularly close to an ayakashi, but he knows very well what blight feels like, so he's kind of searching out that same sort of piercing pain.

Eventually, he finds it - that phantom pain of his and his eyes open wide, if that's possible for a shinki in vessel form.

Yoon and Hitsugaya both get to see what the ayakashi looks like - the kind of maneuverability it has in flight, how fast it can go, how big it is in relation to the size of the roof, and its rough shape. ]

[flamebearer]

[ For the moment, Alibaba remains quiet, wondering what they're doing, but patient enough to wait and find out. ]

[freezetheheavens]

[It's rather strange suddenly being able to see the ayakashi, but he suddenly has a feel of its mobility, its size, everything. It has him focusing his gaze on where the ayakashi is.]

Are you two ready?

[It won't be too difficult to Rend this creature, but he needs to be sure that the two of them are at least mentally prepared for this. He can still feel Yoon's uneasiness and perhaps even a smidge of Alibaba's own uncertainty.]

[handsome_genius]

[ Yoon gulps nervously. ]

'I'm not even sure what I should be ready to do like this... but I'll keep my eyes open.'

[ In his mind, he's looking at Alibaba's human form. ]

'The least I can do is watch your backs, right?'

[And leaves this to the guys far better equipped to take out a giant bird-like ayakashi they realistically shouldn't even get that close to for fear of blight stings.]

[flamebearer]

[ In whatever space they find themselves in while they are vessels, Alibaba glances over at Yoon and gives him a playful thumbs-up, grinning easily at him in hopes of reassuring him. ]

We're ready, Hitsugaya. We've got this. Let's do it.

[freezetheheavens]

Mm, don't forget I'm counting on you two.

[But it does have him flying towards to the giant ayakashi now.

It isn't something to hesitate over, anyway. So, as soon as he gets close to the ayakashi, he holds out the sword Alibaba has become. The closer he gets to it, he uses the Rend spell to eliminate the ayakashi.]

[handsome_genius]

[There was some amount of distance that Yoon could take from the ayakashi killing since it wasn't his vessel that was doing the casting. However, he also knew that he wanted to understand how it worked, be within proximity close enough to guess what it felt like, that sort of thing.

So at first he shuts his eyes, mentally turning away from the situation as the ayakashi comes closer. But there's a final second as Hitsugaya is preparing the Rend that gets Yoon to finally open his eyes.

He feels the spell take effect in the vicinity around them, sees the ayakashi get cleaved down the center, and sense Hitsugaya's resolve as he stands firm in the face of the ayakashi splitting in half around them.]

'Whoa...'

[He's duly impressed.]

[flamebearer]

[ Alibaba hadn't looked away. He's facing the charge towards the ayakashi with a burning determination, a flicker of flames glinting in the depths of the dark metal of his blade.

When they Rend through the spirit and he feels it disintegrate around him, he throws his fist in the air with a crow of victory, mentally bouncing around in whatever white space his self is currently confined in. ]

Yeah!

[freezetheheavens]

[With the ayakashi gone, Hitsugaya lands on the ground. Already, he can sense the changes in the air after the spirit has been defeated.

He breathes out.]

Return, Yoon. Return, Alibaba.
