Noting his change in demeanor and then her eyes widening slightly at his utterance of that fabled word, Harime was briefly confused, but she recovered just as quickly. With the flame flung towards her, Harime dodged out of the way and slashed, her fingers twitching, thus causing ice particles to gather where she had been. When the reiryoku burning flames made contact the ice would immediately begin to spread. Her brow knitted and she pulled her gaze away from the spectacle. She had kept Agni in her field of vision all the while, so a sneak attack was unlikely to be successful.

She called upon Seishin and then, in a sudden shift of action, vanished. First she appeared 6 meters ahead of him and 3 meters above before she flew downwards at him through the air.

Seishin flew feverishly around where the [b]ice[/b] princess had appeared and where she was going. In fact, the spirit was rushing slightly ahead of her. It was miraculous that none of the ice crystals had touched her yet.

Why had her tactics changed...and why hadn't she gone into bankai upon hearing Agni's words?

The first was a mystery, but the second was because of a sneaking suspicion she had.

Who knew if she were right.
