What trouble I'm in, why do I say this... I don't know, maybe because an amalgam of roots and vines are being thrown in my face.
I don't need to give much context of the situation, basically and in a nutshell, the older elders, who had roots instead of eyes, became a mass of monstrous roots.
"Cut here, cut there, move back and cover your eyes."
Taking advantage of the madness into which the creature was plunged by being pierced by an arrow, obviously that arrow was Kikyo's, it jumped backwards to take distance.
"I had left her a way out, who knew she would help you even so. Hahahahaha looks like you're not the only crazy one here Yaeko."
Laughing slyly, Eine who controls Yaeko's body currently, otherwise she is crazy and talks about her in third person, covers her mouth with the sleeve of her coat.
She was clearly enjoying the situation, though in a few moments Eine-Yaeko's laughter stops completely and she raises her hand.
She points not in a random direction, but precisely where Kikyo is standing. Responding to her actions, other elders explode into an amalgamation of roots and run towards Kikyo's direction.
"I can't let you do that. Moon form. Uooo!"
Before she can act, the ground is shattered as if it were glass and from below a large number of roots emerge.
They easily reach the thickness of an arm, but they combine one on top of the other and in that way their thickness increases exponentially.
"This too."
Sifting through the inside of her neat white wardrobe, I watch as Eine-Yaeko pulls out a few papers with black graffiti on them from inside.
I could feel an energetic pattern inside those papers, it was quite similar to that of the elders... How similar, they are the same.
"I see the recognition in your eyes, have you come across any other of Kazuya's toys? No, you recognized them just now."
"Yes, what can I tell you, my partner also knows how to make shikigami. By the way, is that a Kazuya technique you use?"
Jumping from one root to another, I notice how one of those root amalgamations is heading towards me, but from a fanning motion I direct a wave of flames at it.
Quickly the green roots were burned, revealing a paper inside all that mass of roots and making clear its origin.
They were shikigami, the root amalgamations that are attacking me are shikigami and thanks to that, by not destroying them completely they can regenerate with a little energy. Well, this at least confirms my suspicions.
"Hahaha, Kazuya didn't excel at anything... Merely ignorant, inept and intolerant. What a useless lot."
Mocking Kazuya with clear contempt and also his own creations, I notice how the roots stop attacking me, only to gather in front of Eine-Yaeko.
*Boooom!*
Aware that it was an opportunity, which Kikyo has created for me with her attacks, I took a few steps back and walked away from here leaving behind a small gift.
"Moon shape:Crescent gibbous."
A large crescent shaped slash, only much larger, it's called a Crescent Gibosa for a reason, advanced towards Eine-Yaeko.
The ground through which my attack advances is melted, while the roots that try to stop it are absolutely burned and shattered.
*Boom*
Bits of roots, dust and flames spread around, but notice that the attack had had no effect.
"Thanks for the help, it was getting to be a dangerous situation."
"No matter. Attentive to the front."
"Tsk, and here I am wanting to be a nice person saying thank you."
Laughing after talking to Kikyo, he took advantage of the height we were at and surveyed the situation down there.
The entire courtyard had been replaced by a sea of roots, while in the middle of these lay a cocoon of the same material.
"I've never seen such flames before... Well, not that there are many good specimens in your race, let alone reaching your level."
Opening the root cocoon as he speaks, Eine-Yaeko comes out perfectly fine from there, though he now has some changes.
Obviously I'm talking about her physical appearance, though her atmosphere has changed as well, but what stands out the most is her new height 5'7".
His hair is still black, but now has a green extension that reaches his waist, his ears have become pointed and green root tattoos appear on his skin.
"Who knew, his fashion sense was not atrophied. Moon shape:Half moon"
Finally satisfying one of my biggest doubts, which was about his wardrobe, I waved my fan and let out a large number of attacks in a wide range.
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
Large number of explosions rose into the sky, ripping off a good amount of roots with them and leaving Eine-Yaeko visible for the real attack.
"Now."
"Um."
Kikyo's arrow pierced through the roots with incredible delicacy and beauty, managing to land right up to in front of Eine-Yaeko's face without hitting anything else.
"You know, I'm playing at home here."
Seeming to say something obvious, the green tattoos all over Eine-Yaeko's body begin to glow and the surroundings begin to tremble.
"With your permission."
Holding Kikyo by the waist, I quickly took a strong step and backed away, leaving the obvious danger zone.
It was a good idea, as from the ground, inside the walls and everywhere visible, roots begin to emerge into the night sky.
"Hahaha, good reaction... But how long will you be able to escape?"
Raising my head, I can see how the whole mansion has become a sea of roots and on top of a taller one of the pile, stands Eine-Yaeko with the moon behind her.
It was the perfect union of feminine beauty and possible danger... Damn, dealing with Inuyasha has left me with strange tastes.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Umm... It's hard. Ouch, did you just hit me?"
"You're asking for the obvious?"
Doubting if Kikyo's senses are superhuman, or if all women can sense that someone is thinking about them... No, obviously Kikyo is the problem.
