There were more Zombie coming there way, but by this point Yuri had grown rather tired of them. They were no longer much of a threat or could provide her any kind of enjoyment from killing them. She simply sighed as she looked away towards the Hag's location, "I see a great deal of chakra gathering behind that door, it's definitely there." Yuri said as she slash the sword in front of her, taking out several of the beings in front of her. She then preformed a pound cannon with the blade, and blasted through another group of Zombie's as well as knocking down the door.

There was the Hag, and it appeared to be in the middle of a ritual circle, from where Yuri was standing which was still a few dozen meters away. "What do we have here?" Yuri wasn't familiar with many forms of rituals, and this didn't look like a healing type.

Harue continued to clear out the hordes of zombies, allowing Yuri to take lead of the situation and forgo the mundane task of decapitating undead. She follows closely along, ignoring the zombies who stray too far away. Without the head, the body would flounder anyway. Harue tilts her chin at the door Yuri regards, looking through it with her own doujutsu. There isn't much need for it as Yuri breaks through the door and some zombies to boot, revealing to them a hag in the process of a ritual. Harue bristles, stepping quickly into the room and in front of Yuri, afraid that the old thing might attack. Reflexively, Harue brings up a hand slightly and laces pure force around the hag's neck, disrupting her ritual and lifting her to her feet. The hag is angry but strangled and slower, leaving opportunity for Yuri to attack her. "Gross." Harue skews up her face, then looks between the hag and Yuri. Part of her wants to ask the hag why or what she was doing, but another part of her didn't really care. "This is it?"

Yuri stepped towards the Hag as it was being choked by Harue, but as she stepped forwards the Hag still struggling beneath the choke, make hands motions. As it's hand motions ended, three large fire balls came flying towards Yuri. Yuri slashed Her blade across the air in front of her. As she began to slash the blade dragon scales began to from on the Weapon. The Fire balls were slashed through and instantly disappeared, as they where absorbed by Yuri's blade. "So that what you do? You cut chakra... So You're like a Hyuuga sword. How cute. I'll call you... Unblossemed Antirrhinum." It was a fitting name for this form.

The scales where green in color, and this form did't have the same glow as the previous one's before it. It also feed on chakra like a flower waiting to bloom feed on sunlight. Not only that, but this was the last stage before Antirrhinum would blossom into what it was really meant to be. Yuri continued to walk toward Hag. and Make two light cuts on it's arms. Yuri could see that once so cut there, the chakra that flowed through the body, was now cut off from it's arms. She needed to investigate it more, see if it could answer questions.

[neko bo beko]

Harue clenches her fist in a desperate attempt to tighten her grip on the hag's throat, but it casts out fireballs regardless. At least Yuri can render them useless in a single motion. As Yuri approaches the hag, Harue watches with a curious expression, stepping up behind her to watch as she proceeds to make lacerations. The thing struggles and chokes for air, and Harue's eyes dart from the cuts to the face. If Yuri hadn't killed her already, then she wanted answers. Hopefully the hag would continue to be complacent, now that she'd seen what her fate was like.

"I'm gonna let go," Harue drawls, her fingers twitching as she peers into the hag's beady eyes. "And you're going to speak when spoken to. Move an inch and we won't hesitate to kill you." Harue's voice was low and somewhat monotone, and her fingers uncurl to release the choke grasp she has on the witch's throat.

Yuri looked at the creature, and tilted her head and then asked, "Godric mentioned Witches were all powerful... you don't seem that powerful to me." The Haggle spit at the ground to her side, and in a low groggy voice, it said, "Witch? No Witch! Me will be stronger than Witch!!! Stupid fey girl... think me witch! Stupid!!" Yuri narrowed her eyes at the Hag as she spoke. Clearly common wasn't it's first language, not was a witch that Godric had spoken of. She also heard her call her a fey girl with was odd, but it didn't matter at the moment. "So what did you plan on doing here? And don't bother with your jutsu, your chakra has been completely cut off."

Yuri said as she could see the Hag trying to mold it's chakra, but was having no luck. "Demons... power... my master calls for more Demons..." Yuri sighed as she word this. That meant two things, that there was already a demon loose somewhere, and it was possible that there was more than one of these things attempting to summoning more. "Why here?" Yuri asked. "Fey Blood is precious, good for summoning spells, good to for contracts. Your blood... delicious." Yuri narrowed her eyes, "What are you one about. I'm not a fey."

"Ikebana... control the plants, and flowers. Special techniques... from fey mothers. Pure born Ikebana... fey blood... run deep. Even if diluted... delicious." Yuri narrowed her eyes, and then cleaved the creatures head off. Everything made since. That's why the old man, the Ikebana elder didn't want any Ikebana leaving the the village. "Let's go Harue. We have demons and Hags to kill." Yuri said without commenting much on what the Hag had said. She wouldn't need her help to tell her where to look. She saw how the chakra moved in this place. Any where like it was a prime target, for them.

As soon as the hag opened her mouth and spoke in a foul and choppy, stenchy kind of way, Harue's eyebrows shoot up on her forehead and she blinks dumbly. Her eyes darted continuously between Yuri and the hag, until finally transfixing on the hag as she begins spewing awfully about the taste of Ikebana. Harue's eyebrows shoot down and her face skews, somewhat disgusted. When the head comes off, Harue feels a wave of relief wash over her. She was done listening to her, too.

Harue's eyes flutter when Yuri addresses her, already ready to move on. Harue sticks close to her side, peering through her Tasukeru for anything around them that might be threatening. Demons were.. not something she ever expected, or wanted, to meet. Whatever they had to take care of next, she was confident they'd take care of it neatly. For now, Harue stays alert. "I wonder which part of you tastes the best," she teases, poking Yuri's hip with her knuckles briefly. She wanted to make light of the whole delicious blood thing.

Yuri smirked as she heard Harue teasing her. Well it was good that she was getting more comfortable around her, but she wondered how comfortable she was? "I been told.. that the wettest parts taste like strawberries. Guess you'll have to find out and tell me." Yuri said very plainly, while not even looking at Harue to give her a sense that she was serious. All the while she was trying her hardest not laugh right there. Yuri looked ahead, as she was still searching for clues of where the main person responsible for all of this was. Her ears perked up as she heard some sort of scream in the distance, "Oh great, what's that now?"

[neko bo beko]

Harue's chest squeezes the same time her gut does when Yuri responds openly straightforward. Despite the feverish full-faced flush that warms her face, she wants to keep up. She plants her eyes forward too, but only because she'd blubber if she looked over at Yuri. "Maybe at the bath house, then."

Quickly and suitably, the tension is severed by a far off scream. Harue snaps to attention, looking around through her doujutsu for the source of the screaming. She can't pinpoint it, and the scream sounds well off. It was outside of her 200 meter range - they'd have to search blindly for a while. "Sounds like.." Harue continues in the direction of the obnoxious screaming. She thought distantly of a banshee, it seemed fitting of the night, but she'd never heard the noise in person. "Our next target."

"Fantastic, something else for us to re-kill." Yuri said in a flat tone. the Hags and zombie was one thing, but the fact that there was something else out there waiting for them to kill was really annoying. She sighed and rubbed the back of her head with her free hand. She placed her blade on her shoulder as she continued walk towards the sounds of the screaming. "I don't care what it is. We're not asking any questions this time, we're just going to kill the som' bitch." Yuri said as she seemed to be getting more and more annoyed with everything that was going on. All this this happening in her county to her village, she wasn't going to allow it.

[neko bo beko]

As they continued towards the screaming, which was going longer and spookier but also closer, Harue nodded alongside Yuri's irritation. She understood where she was coming from, even if she didn't vocalize her impatience with the rate of the night and the dead taking it up. At least they'd have an excuse to sleep in late in the morning. "Agreed," Harue notes, turning her head as she spots some zombies a few meters ahead. They seemed relatively out of the way. "The undead seem to only have shit to talk."

She continues to try and find the source of the distant screaming while following the sound of it, weary of it wherever it might enter her range of sight.

Yuri looked over at Haure with a curious look on her face. As she looked over at Harue she began to ask her. "So this thing is sort of your bag right? So ah... what kinda of creature, makes this kind of sound?" Yuri would wait for Harue to answer before she would being to adjust her Sword to do what she needed it to do to handle the situation. This thing was made to handle just about anything that came it's way. Gilly was an extraordinary creature, it was a miracle that this thing basically fell into her lap. She would make it as strong as she could to make sure that she was worthy of it.

[neko bo beko]

After Yuri asked about their target and what it'd have to be to make that sort of noise, Harue gives it a moment of thought as they continue onwards towards it. She hums after a second, and then after another second she bobs her head confidently. "If I had to guess, I'd say a banshee," she purses her lips, searching the 200 meters available to her from her place beside Yuri. Still nothing, but the miserable screaming was getting louder as they drew closer. "I don't know what else would just happen to be screaming bloody murder like that, unless someone's actually dying." After a third second of thought, she adds on, "Dying... for ten minutes straight."

"A banshee huh?" Yuri said as she sighed to herself a bit, "So we got some screaming ghost bitch to deal with now? Great." Yuri ruffled her hair a bit as she looked over at her blade. She wasn't sure how it would fair against ghosts, but chakra affected ghost. Especially pure chakra. As far as she knew what came out of Antirrhinum was pure chakra. She suppose what ever the case was it would be put to the test soon. "What should I expect from a banshee? Anything important I should know? Like it touching me instantly kills me, of some shit?" Yuri said seriously, as she came to understand that a great deal of these kind of creatures came with ridiculous and unfair abilities.

[neko bo beko]

Pretty soon, they'd probably have to start yelling over the scream to hear each other. There are very few breaks in between, which distracts Harue slightly, but she presses her knuckles into her other palm with thought. "To be honest," she drawls, "They're not very confrontational, but they're pretty deadly in theory. They scare more people to death than they actually kill, 'cause apparently they're scary ugly." Harue pauses, her eyes darting quickly over towards Yuri before again returning to the search. "And, uh, their touch doesn't necessarily kill you.. at first. Unless you're really weak, but I think we'll be okay."

There's a moment of thought as she continues to think back on her study of the undead, then inhales sharply as she punches her fist against her palm again, this time more solidly. "Oh! And if she's screaming, it means she's warning about an impending death. Probably her own," Harue snorts. What else was there? She felt like she was missing information, so she hums with audibly projected thought.

[candy counter: 22]

[DJ Loki]

"Soooooo, it can cause death, for like... no reason? Great. We'll just keep our distant then." Yuri said as they continued to walk towards the sounds of the wailing. It really didn't matter what it was or what it was capable off, as soon as Yuri set her eyes on it, she was going to blow the thing to bits, it was as simple as that. As they got closer Yuri looked over her shoulder at Harue and then said, "Keep and eye out for anything other than the banshee, no telling what else is around here. Kind of heard to miss the banshee with it screaming it's head."

[neko bo beko]

Harue's head moves side to side as she ponders the thought. "More or less, yeah." And then they continue onward. Harue can't say she's excited to meet a nightwraith face to face, but on the other hand she knows it'll be a swift kind of altercation. Yuri seemed intent on not fucking around here.

When Yuri addresses things outside of just the banshee, Harue switches gears accordingly. She supposed she wasn't wrong - they didn't need an exact location on the banshee given the screams were leading them right to it. Regardless, she kept a passive eye out for it while also searching their surroundings for anything else peculiar. Silence that followed was drowned out by the growing wailing of their target.

[DJ Loki]

Yuri remained silent as she continued to get closer and close to where the banshee was. It wasn't hard to tell as the screams become louder and more annoying by the second. Soon that were facing a haunting image of a nightwriath. Yuri looked over at Harue, "That's it right?" She asked her curiously, as she was sure that had to be it but she just wanted to make sure before she started swinging at it wildly. Once Harue had given her an answer, Yuri would turn to the wraith, "SHUT THE HELL UP... BITCH!" As she said this the spirit would turn to look at Yuri, for a moment before it went to charge the two of them. They were still about 50 meters away from the thing, with was more than enough room for Yuri to do what need to be done.

"Stand back Harue..." Yuri said as she raised her blade over her head.

[neko bo beko]

When asked if that was it, Harue nods sagely. It was indeed it. Harue avoided looking at it, keeping her eyes planted on the ground in front of it, but Yuri was fearless. She beckons to it, which only draws anxiety to Harue's surface for the first real time in some while, and she takes a confused few steps back. Once Yuri tells her to stand back, Harue grasps ahold of the situation and obliges wordlessly, swiftly. She leaves a good gap between her, the sword and the nightwraith. She knew Yuri was capable.

Yuri let out a simple breath, as the wraith continued to charge towards her. "Die... and stay dead this time." Yuri said coldly as she brought her blade. She brought it down rather casually this as opposed to the many times she had done so before. As she brought the sword down it turned red, and a large blade of energy shot out and raced towards the banshee. It didn't seemed to concerned about the attack, more the fool it. The attack used no chakra from Yuri, but it was compose of pure chakra. and Yuri had put a great deal of force into the attack.

So much so that it didn't matter if it was resistant to chakra. It was far to powerful for anyone to resist at this point. The blade of energy was the length of the slash that Yuri had performed, it then slice the Banshee in two. Yuri smirked as she watched the creature fade back into nothingness. "Now let's go find those assholes." As Yuri said this she looked over at her blade as it glowed black for a moment.
