After diving out of the Tree Spirit's path, the pained sound of Kushiama grabbed her, forcing her to look at her comrade. She shivered slightly when she noticed the fresh blood reddening Asuka's robe. W-would it be wise to try and heal her at a time like this? Hanami thought so, as this was clearly life or death. She owed it to the ronin. Scrambling to her feet, she made a run for it to her injured comrade, but was cut off by the giant bear spirit nearly crashing into her with it's mouth open like it wanted to devour her. Hanami stumbled back just in time, nearly falling over. 

Mizuki's silver hair caught her attention as it danced around her right before leaping onto the spirit's back. "Hime-dono!" She shouted to her, worry consuming her. A look of terror crossed her face, her eyes widening as the energy from the beads drained from it and fed Mizuki's own demonic aura. "Princess, what are you doing?!" Delicate fingers reached for another arrow before setting it on the nocking point. She breathed slowly, tearing her eyes from the rampaging beast and aiming at the orb in the masked man's hands. Probably a bad idea, even with Yuki and Kouko baiting him, he might still be able to stop her arrows and that would be more time for the tree-spirit to cause even more damage to them. 

She needed to think fast, just behind her the familiar *clunking* sound of wooden limbs grew closer.

The arrow flew from the bowstring, whizzing towards the beaded necklace in that same blinding purple-white light. The arrowhead erupted into series of large, white lights as it connected with the necklace, purifying the remainder of the dark energy inside of the beads and releasing it in the form of lavender colored speckles. Hanami could sense the anger and hurt surrounding the once peaceful spirit vanishing as it bathed in the white light, healing it's battle wounds and returning it to it's original self. She walked over to the beast, hesitantly staring it in the eyes... She knew the masked one was powerful just by how quickly he discarded her purifying arrows and feared he might target the spirit again.

"You're fine now...We're here to help, Spirit." She quickly slid the necklace from around it's neck, and wrapped it around her wrist. It would have to be disposed of properly if they didn't want it to be used again. 

"Hime-dono, you're hurt...?" She asked softly, her expression soft and concerned as she extended a hand to her to help her down from the spirit's back. She stopped when the sound of wood clunking behind her tickled her ears. A puppet had found it's way over to them, only within arms reach now.
