Rini tried to use a technique to assist Sho as he advanced toward Kira, but somehow managed to mess up. The short kid was sent sprawling underneath Kira, allowing her to land safely. The wind technique was mostly blocked by her own teammate, but Kira felt some of the impact just before landing, which pushed her a bit further back than she had planned to land. But she sustained no damage, so all she had to do was keep note that Rini had some range to her offense. As soon as she touched down, she ducked low and pulled her sword partway out of the sheath. By yanking again with the wire that had the fuuma shuriken, she got it to wrap past the handle of her blade, making the wire shorter. In this same motion, she also spun around to face Sho, using her rotation as well as the yank on the wire to bring the fuuma shuriken back around. In the short path, it moved faster, bringing it across and slicing through the water whip he sent her way. Kira had already analyzed the situation before the battle had even begun. [I]The red-haired kid is the bigger threat.[/I] With the water whip dispatched, Kira gave a brief hop, to allow the wire to pass under her to bring the fuuma shuriken around for a second pass at Sho. But this time, she advanced toward him to bring him in range of the arc. While it would seem that she was completely ignoring Rini, the truth wasn't that far off. She was paying attention, since she knew she was between two foes, but the majority of her focus was on the hyper-offensive Sho.
