Ortlinde was shocked at Lady Krystal's response, only because her outrage seemed genuine. "Unconscious application? Really...that's...actually quite impressive. You might actually just be a natural born genius at a specific form of mental influences. Fascinating! We simply must discuss this at great length in the future!"

The little pseudo-draculina was getting excited, her ruby eyes sparkling with more life than she had to this point displayed. "I have no talent for most forms of illusion or enchantment either, so there's no shame in that. Well, I can do one thing, but it's less something learned and more an inherited trait from my father's side. I would say more, but we do have company. You should introduce yourself. We wouldn't want to be rude."

Thinking about it, she had actually just held an entire conversation without losing focus on her mental protections. If Miss Krystal really was a genius, her chance of resisting successfully was nearly impossible, but she had to make the best effort she could, if only for the sake of her own pride.

The sudden praise worried Krystal somewhat unsure of being able to control people, she figured she was just that charming. It didn't change her disposition towards the boy though as she stalked behind the vampire. "He barged in, it's not my obligation to tell him anything, he's still alive."

The cold tone echoed like wind as it escaped Krystal never breaking eye contact with the newcomer. The wraith however shifted out from under where she had launched Kahimi before turning and testing the shield in her grasp feeling the weight and alignment with her body finding the more optimal use as more shadows faded leaving the darker skinned neko as she looked to Kahimi ready and waiting to repel her next strike.

"Yes, he is definitely alive. Remarkably so, really. Look at him, battered and bloody yet still so full of energy."

Ortlinde was feeling excited, agitated even. Too much energy. She wasn't sure why, but it was like she couldn't keep still, like her heart was going to burst from her chest. Her mouth twisted itself into a gruesome facsimile of a smile, baring her extended canines in a look of pure bloodlust.

"If you like, Miss Krystal, we could change that fact. Slowly."

Ortlinde's chakra began to gradually seep from her body in visible waves, like little tendrils of blood colored smoke. It wasn't clear to her what had set her off, flipped her switch, but she was about to blow off some steam here and now. All she needed was a target. And one had conveniently presented itself.

Her adrenaline was starting to build as the rush of having a fresh target in her sights. The slight speed increase from the lightning version of the All Fours technique gave her hope, and confidence that the Wraith wasn't going to get away. In only a matter of seconds she'd be closing in. Her movements becoming that much more abrasive as she planned a simple attack. With pressure being built into her legs once the wraith was in pouncing range, the Inuzuka would prep her leap beforehand. The initial kick of her legs sent her forward very quickly, and with her arms stretching outward to attempt to grab her as quickly as possible she was in a full commitment to manage her attack.

The wraith wasn't oblivious though, which only hindered things as she ducked behind a tall shield which Kahimi would crash into instead. Her hands clenching tightly onto the shield only to be flung right off it as the wraith sent enough force to basically deflect Kahimi's tackle. However the Inuzuka wasn't done. No instead she'd use the shield as a platform at the last minute as soon as she noticed the wraith put it into use in time. The extra movement needed to do this was expendable, and if anything the rush of the challenge made the Yukikage appreciate the wraith's persistence more.

So with that shield in mind, she would go out of her way to put it to the test. Kahimi now using the tree climbing jutsu instinctively to run along the curving wall of the earth dome. Her body remained hunched forward to keep her weight leaning toward the dome the higher she went up. Eventually her whole body would be upside down as she neared the light bearing hole. With this position in mind Kahimi would dig herself into dome's ceiling with her hands. Her nails practically transforming into sharp edged claws completely on their own the more her body fell in tune with her Inuzuka side.

"I'm gonna CRUSH that shield!! So you better get ready kitty..." she exclaimed with a loud growl following after practically losing herself to the rush of a new challenge. "Combination Technique; Ice Style:..." she'd begin with her left hand now also being encased with sharp sturdy ice leaving a frosted effect on where it touched the dome's ceiling. Her other hand remaining normal as it kept its natural claw like properties. With her target in her sights, Kahimi would twist her upper body to the right setting up her next move. And then with all the power she had stored up in chakra to keep her connected the ceiling she'd use to literally jump right off and straight towards the Wraith. Using this speed and momentum her whole body quickly kicked up into a cycloning spin, enough to make a drill like trail encase her entire body because she was spinning so fast.

Krystal would be familiar with this technique if she knew how to use it or seen it before. However in tandem with the Ice Claw jutsu the drill now shimmered as well. Her ice claw chilling the air as it sliced through it hardly letting air drag slow Kahimi's fast descent down towards the ground and at the wraith.

"Dazzling Fang over Fang!!" she'd call out in a burst of confidence, as her fang over fang sang like a high speed drill with the ice claw like hand leaving a sparkling trail of little ice pieces behind where ever Kahimi went.

The wraith watched as Kahimi recovered as it expected her to, the shield slowly beginning to twirl in her grasp. Her control was deft due to the strength of the amazon and let her wield the sheet of metal as if it was a sword as she watched keenly while the Inuzuka raced up the earthen dome. A small smirk peeked out as her eyes watched her keenly even seeing the cold sway from her claws as she prepared before roaring out a challenge.

The wraith let out a small chuckle before launching the shield straight up into the air and beginning a short series of flowing movements that left her fists glowing with flame. As the hunky of metal came down she caught it without issue before bracing and staring down the Yukikage as she raced at her.

In a flash the chilling drill crashed into the wraith but without a scratch as her Guard (125) took the strike absorbing the force before the wraith chuckled and pulled the shield aside thrusting her arm into frozen tempest to grab the young woman's shirt and slam her down onto her back causing the fire and ice to ripple outward. A throaty purr escaped the wraith as she looked over her prey almost hungry before leaning down to bite her shoulder, this time pricking her skin slightly to taste the blade before standing up although Kahimi would notice the wraith in a bikini rather than Krystal's leotard leaving her abs open.

The Tsuchikage however had become highly annoyed with the intruder and the earth rumbled as the dome opened creating straight walls and leaving the sky open. A sharp whistle cut through the air as chakra flowed from her back emerging as large purple and gold wings as her size rapidly began to grow and grow reaching Colossal height before a pulse of force and chakra erupted from her body dying her features sapphire. In her giantess state electricity flowed over her body before like a beacon clinging to her skin as the air around her buzzed.

With a thundering roar the Tsuchikage swung her arm in a low arc carving through part of the earth before connecting with the boy before raising her arm through the air and finishing the punch towards the southwest. If he had any luck hed probably land somewhere in another country.

Onako hopped up on his feet as he had fallen asleep. He was trying to make sense of what was going on in front of him and to see what they were fighting. But part of him was vibing out and he felt at one with the light in the universe. This vibing sensation had made him tap in to the vibe and spread it out in to his hands. And his fingers started to glow. "Hey ya'll need help or something?!!!" He called out to the other people on the arena before his instincts told him to dodge. He ducked before springing forward turning around to face another monster after his head.

With his hands glowing however he still didn't know hot fully use this technique. But this vibe he was feeling was most definitely his spring time of youth points. Running forward he started a frontal assault with a flurry of punches to drive the large creature back.Grabbing it by one of hit's paws he grabbed and chucked it into the air before following up with a flying kick. The rush of it all transferred the light to cause his leg to start glowing intensely. The beast screeched.

With that Onako landed on the ground trying to spread this intense light. The light was even radiating off him far off into the distance. It was warm and comforting probably something to conquer the darkness. Starting to breath he spread the light to both his legs. It disappeared entirely from his fingers and was all in his legs. He was starting to get the hang of it one step of the time.Turning to look back at the other group he figured he would deal with his own problem before heading over there.

Suddenly all the tension in Ortlinde's body drained away, and the aura that had been starting to form dispersed in tatters. Her small body was entirely unable to withstand and contain the energy that had been vibrating throughout it.

Woozy, she nearly collapsed, only able to steady herself by widening her stance and using her arms like balancing wings. Every muscle felt hollow and empty, and she couldn't focus on anything.

Well, except one thing.

"You know Miss Krystal, I think that rude boy is ignoring me," she managed to yawn out. Maybe she could just...lay down and take a nap here in the nice, cold snow...

The Dazzling Piercing Fang Lady Kahimi put into action on its own was more of an all or nothing attack than anything else. It relies on a lot of factors to remain in place, in order to even have a chance at succeeding. By all means the move itself is nowhere near the potential it could be at. This is a start though. The form she used for the attack would serve its purpose, but the wraith no matter what seems to continue to defy the Inuzuka. The ferocity of the spin was wild, and surely without grace which left Kahimi vulnerable in a sense. See couldn't exactly control it once she got the thing going. Her body on its own was under a lot of stress just to keep the cyclone from whirling out of momentum. She would only be able to maintain rotation for so long as well, before fatigue and dizziness become a problem.

The drawbacks of using a move not fully trained or planned out were taking their toll. The Yukikage was grateful to even had managed to make contact with the shield itself instead of the ground. Though the push back she received from the shield, which was controlled by the wraith was not good news. The sparks made from Kahimi's drill like tempest would light up the area around the two of them even more. The darkness fighting to be able to regain full control of the surroundings as all sorts of illumination was being made within that dome.

That all came to a crushing halt as the wraith would completely catch Lady Kahimi literally. The momentum of her spin completely stopped as the sturdy grip on her upper body derailed all the speed she needed to even keep the move going in the first place. The Inuzuka would hardly be able to comprehend what was going on, before he whole body was brought crashing down hard into the arena floor. Flames and ice washing over her as a shockwave of force pushed outward, along with diffusing tempest winds.

Kahimi's ice claw would dissolve itself as the chakra she was using to hold the creation together was ended. The Inuzuka at this point was nearly knocked unconscious as she seemed to be quite stunned and dazzled by that rough counter attack. By the time her eyes even opened up to notice the wraith standing above her she was clearly pretty tapped out. Her body luckily had gotten pretty resilient since they started, but even then the natural defense wasn't enough to let Lady Kahimi stand back up just yet.

"Oww...nhh...I...think...I'm gonna have to call a time out for now..." she'd say still a little dazed as she laid on the floor, letting out a sheepish yet slightly pained laugh afterwards.

Krystal's annoyance at the intruder was palpable to the point she didnt even mind Lind's little burst. However as she quickly became winded Krystal caught the small girl worried about her condition. Given she drank from her earlier, Krystal moved her arm toward Lind's lips a few thin lines of blood from the last bite painting her skin. "Lind? If you need it go on and drink."

While the Tsuchikage 'doctored' the vampire the wraith hummed and looked over the Yukikage before sitting on her stomach after soundly knocking the wind out of her while harshly placing the shield long ways over her head so it stood imprinted in the ground as her flaming claw lightly hooked the bottom of the neck hole of her shirt.

"I won~ Say it." The wraith purred softly as the gold darkened like fire, the voice as seductive as flame while she made her demand. Mistress was all she wanted to hear and every moment further it took, another inch burnt away down her top. While the personality shift had been gradual the domineering was completely different from what Kahimi had encountered so far.

Right now the white/silver haired Inuzuka was in no condition or position to fight back. Her body felt like it got hit by a sack of potatoes. In reality she was fine, but the wraith practically knocked the laziness right back into her. Everything seemed so dizzy feeling. She couldn't muster up the strength to get up all that much. Though that became the least of her worries as the wraith seemed so eager to capitalize on its downed opponent.

Lady Kahimi huffed as the wraith took a less than gentle seat on top of her body. The heavy shield made an even bigger interruption of the Inuzuka's somewhat peaceful recovery after that body slamming. "Oh..thats new." she'd mutter softly while looking at the shield sitting right above her head now, but in the matter of a few seconds there were other pressing matters to attend to. The Inuzuka's eyes looked back down from the shield to eyes the wraith directly who now had her flaming hand tampering with her clothing. The act itself was clearly a minor threat, but still a threat none the less, and the means of using it was much more different than the usual antics.

Kahimi winced a little as her chakra was kind of all over the place from all the adrenaline that was fueling her system a moment ago. Her senses were flaring from the intensity alone, which opened the Inuzuka up to an ability she wasn't all that familiar with. The chakra and energy radiating from the wraith's body and flaming hand could be felt a lot much more than normal. The energy itself, was now connected to Lady Kahimi's senses in a way she hadn't noticed ever being possible. The heat of the flames themselves became much more clear, so much so that Lady Kahimi was become sensitive to it.

The distraction only lasted so long though as she was being tossed into a decision to either save her top, or submit. She wouldn't dare submit this early. She'd rather get beat up some more than admit defeat, her pride was strengthening itself as the seconds went by. "Tch...how about no." she'd growl back while staring the amazon down now.

"I'm...fine. I'm fine. I just...don't know what that was. It was like when I go into a blood rage, but different at the same time. Less wild and aimless. Whatever it was, I couldn't hold on to it, and then I just felt...physically exhausted."

Ortlinde rotated her shoulders and yawned, trying to push away her sudden drowsiness. She was a quick thinker though, and muttered a quick prayer to magically cleanse it away. Except...it didn't work? Frowning, she tried it again. Nothing. Maybe she needed the blood after all - as a bastard cross between human and vampire, she did sometimes experience symptoms similar to hemophilia and hypotension.

"On second thought, it can't hurt. Well, me, anyway."

And she chomped in with gusto.

A faint wince was the only show of pain form Krystal as she felt the rough bite as Lind took another bite to start drinking. A low hum escaped her as she brushed her fingers through the vampire's hair while looking to the boy who disappeared.

"Atta girl, struggle." The wraith whispered as her claw traced down the Yukikage's front the heat tickling her naval as the claw parted her top. In a quick twist she would flip over the shield and use that momentum to tear it from the earth as well. Her sharp eyes locked on Kahimi as her body returned to a standing pose while the shield turned in her grasp before holding it tight.

Slowly and methodically the wraith began to circle Kahimi with the shield held tight between them against her side. Her body tense and ready to rebuff any strikes from the pup and knock her down however many pegs it took. If she took any direct attacks against the wraith it would brace and repel the strike before grabbing and pulling her close.

(Training the C Rank)
Peek-a-Boo
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The peek-a-boo guard is a defensive style that is extremely popular with professional and amateur boxers. This type of guard is also commonly known as ‘the earmuffs’.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture To adopt an effective peek-a-boo position, hold your hands next to each other in front of your face. Keep your elbows tight against your body whilst maintaining a relaxed stance. This guard will minimize damage from direct strikes to the head but it is a difficult guard from which to mount a counter-attack. The main drawback to the peek-a-boo is that it leaves the boxer vulnerable to hooks from the opponent. The peek-a-boo defensive style is especially suitable for shorter fighters. This is primarily because shorter boxers have shorter arms and are therefore able to gain more leverage in looping punches. Furthermore, shorter fighters will be able to cover the gaps in the guard position more effectively. Taller fighters, who will presumably have longer torsos, are more vulnerable to strikes on the body than shorter boxers. This is not to say that they should avoid employing the peek-a-boo guard but they should always be more aware of this increased vulnerability. NOTE: Only works when the user is in the Peek-a-Boo guard position. When first learned this technique gives the Armour a hardness of a 20 against Bludgeoning Damage. Each time learned the hardness of the Armour increases by 5 giving a max of a Hardness 40 at "S" Rank.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

Was this becoming extra personal? It sure feels and sounds like it. With the way this wraith was going about taunting her Kahimi was starting to think she needed to assert herself, and prove a point. Her now damaged top was of no use thanks to a certain someone. And with how things are going so far that sure wasn't going to be the last thing the wraith was looking to do to mess with her.

Despite her earlier confrontations the Yukikage wasn't going to back down. Her body refused to give out even after being slammed into the ground. When the wraith moved, Kahimi did as well. Building up the strength to get her body in motion so she could get up on her feet again. Once she was standing on both feet, her eyes immediately turned to lock onto the wraith whom seemed content with waiting for Kahimi to make a move. Keeping this in mind she figured things were going to be much more serious now...

With this in mind she didn't have time to play chase. She wanted to make a statement. She had to score a hit on the wraith, and if need be defeat it completely. So with this said, Kahimi would begin to hop in place very gently. Her face showing no such looks of playfulness as she stared the shadowy version of Krystal down hard like she did some minutes ago. Her hands now balled into right fists as she prepped herself to a boxing stance.

Then with her body now ready to give this round a go, she'd charge forward into a full two legged sprint. The speed of movement closing the distance between them quickly, and the first attack Kahimi would use a jumping kick of no particular style. This was mainly to be a prep for something else...

Kahimi using the outstretched foot would use the shield as a platform to push back off of and create distance in case the wraith tried something sneaky. This was to create momentum to keep her on her toes, since she knew better than to rely on the first attack at this point. Instead she wanted to force the wraith into doing something that can create an advantage. However before she'd do that she would have to protect herself first. And so with this in mind Kahimi would put herself into the peek-a-boo stance and watch the wraith closely as she'd stay only slightly out of arms reach. Her eyes gazing up at her intensely as her arms were tucked closely to her body.
