Brown Awoo Love! The only brown girl I like!

I volunteer for it!

The hunter was confused, Sekibanki was quick. Too quick for a girl who spent all day waiting tables and researching youkai, as well there was no way she should be able to do something that only a Hakurei could hope to do. The blood red Sekibanki had gotten in front of him while he was preparing to dodge the incoming wrathful wolf and locked arms with her before 'Kage-san' could even get within 10 feet of him.

Still he had no time too lose, he had to find his rod and help out his belov- important sensei before anything bad happened, and put this wolf in her place!


Sekibanki couldn't really believe what she'd just did, she was up against her longtime friend in a spurious decision to defend THAT guy from his deserved punishment. If she was thinking logically she would say there's no way he didn't deserve a good beat down, more than he already got anyways. After all he rampaged around like a fool, found a way to destroy her friend's house, attacked youkai minding their own business, and dragged her out of her home while her head pounded before she could even finish her recovery breakfast.

However, there was one thing that was also true, he did it for her.

Kagerou's attack was blocked by banki's crossed arms, it left her arms feeling none the worse. That wasn't to say it didn't have some power behind it but it was punitive and meant to knock him out, relieve her stress, and punish him all in one go. Kagerou wasn't the type of girl to go overboard from losing her cool after all, it wouldn't have given him any real lasting injuries and she would've been able to drag him home after.

All in all it was the perfect punishment and would've wrapped things up neatly, but something about the idea of Kagerou hitting him just... didn't sit well to her. She couldn't put this feeling into words, just what drove her to potentially harm the relationship with her best friend?

Sekibanki considered this question until her friend stepped back, the anger and frustration visible on her face now as her mouth was almost pulled back in a rather fitting wolf-like snarl. Kagerou's voice had her rage apparent with harsh undertones, "Sekibanki-san, surely you understand that what he did requires some punishment? Step out of my way so I can give him what he deserves!"

Sekibanki felt the hair on the back of her neck stiffen as Kagerou turned her gaze to the defensive Rokurokubi, "He might... no he 100% deserves it for being a dumb, incomprehensible human and I apologize for what I did to cause this, but... but I won't let you hurt him in front of me, he's too important to me to let you touch even a hair on his head!"

With an anger that she made no more strides to hide she raised her claws again, "Then Sekibanki-san, show me that you can protect him!" A magic circle burst to life behind Kagerou, dark and visible with power as the magic swirled around it forming into bullets. She hesitated for a moment instead of summoning her own magics, what if he hadn't figured out her identity yet? Would he grow to hate her if he found out? Regardless of her thoughts the first blast of bullets came forth.


The hunter had scoured his memory and the grounds around him until he found it! His tool of the trade and valuable protection, the inscribed rod. It had been laying next to the worried umbrella as she uselessly hopped in nervousness not seeming to notice it in the rubble laying strewn around the place or didn't care too. Kogasa's voice was fraught with panic as she seemed to finally register the hunter himself as she turned to him, "Hey, you're Seki-chan's boyfriend right?! You need to stop them! I haven't Seen Kage-chan that angry for years!"

He turned to the umbrella as the light show started in front of him, the umbrella continued on with the same whiny panic, "Ehhh? why isn't Seki-chan summoning her heads, or her magic? Whats she thinking by not flying!?" Her words entered his head for a moment, heads? magic? what is she talking about? Despite that he wanted to ask her more he didn't have the time, the bullets splayed around Kagerou in the same pattern as the last time he met her face to face but with an intensity unlike before. Getting hit with one could put him out judging by how the left gouges in the ground.

Kagerou rose into the air as if it was natural, which to the hunter reminded him of his vague memories of last night all too well. He reached into his pouch but damn, there was no seals left at all. He tried to move forward but what was almost a wall of bullets formed a loose barrier before they petered out as the magic in them dissipated. He could see Sekibanki glance at him slightly as she dodged too and fro with an inhuman unnatural speed and agility despite being bound to the ground. Still, he had to do something!

The bullets dissipated finally as Kagerou shouted at Sekibanki something he couldn't hear and the hunter made his move sprinting towards Sekibanki without a plan in mind. The wolf's bullets resumed mercilessly.
