Cutting the wall didn't appear to do anything of note. Instead, directly ahead of Ryuuko, a series of explosions erupted outward across the stairs, forming a fiery barrier of sound and force right in the path of the kimono-clad girl. Kitty had taken a step back further up the stairs, folding her arms firmly across her chest.

"You're a complete idiot, thinking you can just rush me like that!" Kitty declared, a hint of pride entering the small girl's voice, "As long as I can touch the walls and floor, there's no way you'll make it to me!"

Bunny's fist tore towards Toshiko once more. The mage could feel the air pressure, the blast rushing past her as she just barely managed to dodge. As it stood, this type of combat put her at something of a disadvantage. Quite simply, she needed to slow the onmyouji down in order to be able to generate distance better. It seemed as if ofuda attached to the bottom of her shoes were what was making her difficult to counter, making her so fast she was hard to do anything to defend against her...

Toshiko packpedaled dragging one foot back along the floor as she adjusted her position and swung it back, and Bunny swifly lowered herself, ready to put on another air blast for speed. And just as she began to move...!

"Ignite!" Toshiko cried. A simple fire spell never the less ignited along the same path as she moved her body, as Bunny moved forward. The onmyouji attempted to stop herself, but the air blast carried her forward... and the ofuda on one of her feet ignited.

"Ah?!"

She stomped her foot frantically, now through the fire, but it was too late. One of her ofuda had burned into an unusuable state.
