[h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2]

The sudden burst of force was unexpected, to say the last, sending Youmu careening through the air and rather surprised. However, if she couldn't handle this she wasn't much of a member of the Konpaku family, was she? Her boots hit the side of the building, and in the few moments that she was there she made a quick decision. Hakuroken had no effect. This demonic being had no soul. She swiftly sheathed the smaller blade and placed her now-free hand on Roukanken's hilt, eyes narrowing. She'd never participated in a lethal fight before, but she had trained for the event of one. Much of her melee danmaku training could be applied to a fight like this, and the small half-phantom girl had trained for both lethal and nonlethal combat regardless.

Her target was dead ahead.

Youmu pushed off the building. There was a sound like a thunderclap, and an enormous backdraft from the speed she instantly gained on leaping from the wall. It would be impossible to make out anything but a white-and-green blur, perhaps with a greyish one behind it, for an instant before there was a silvery flash as she reached the red demon man. Then she hit the cobblestone street and immediately rotated in place, holding Roukanken at the ready as she slowed to a halt. The bushes and trees planted nearby rustled from the backdraft of her leap.

Her attack had been a simple one, aimed at the demon man's gut in a bid to completely bisect him at the middle. If it hadn't worked, then she could quickly follow up from her position, possibly by using her phantom half to attack as well this time.
