Grabbing at the shadow had little effect, it's form only went through the human hand with ease before continuing on its mission. Cackling a little at how foolish humans were for even daring to try and grab a shadow.

The snake shaped shadows hissed at their opponents, zipping between the moonlight and the shadows of the trees. Whenever they were attacked in the shade of the trees, their unphysical form simply split apart to create another snake like shadow. However, their bodies seemed to form whenever the moonlight was shined upon them and that was when they strikes out at their opponents. Hissing, they quickly retreated in the safety of the shadows of the trees and away from the moonlit area. Repeatedly, the striked out like this, seeming to be careful not to get hit when in the moonlight.

It had only been but a few mere moments before her eyes awoke from the strange darkness, but it had felt like a eternity. Growling softly as dark tendrils kept her in place of a abandon ruin, darkness almost hiding anything in sight. The only thing that lit up the place was a crack in the ceiling where moonlight seeped out. What a bother, using dark magic to capture her. Still, she was doesn't nor really harmed so she doubted this was Yakoto's man. 

Asuka seemed to know him... Perhaps a former enemy back when chaos still wrecked the land?

Then that strange man appeared with Hanami in his grasp. Gold gaze widening briefly, they soon narrowed in a light glare. [b]"Hey, let Hanami-San go!"[/b] she barked but the man complied with both her and Hanami's request by throwing her on the floor. Concern shining in her eyes, she watched as the Priestess quickly moved over to her.

Soon the Priestess purified the darkness with ease, asking about the others. [b]"They are alright I think. They are back at the springs fighting some shadowy snakes."[/b] she answered softly as her hair was stroked.

Although she should be afraid in this situation, she oddly felt no real fear from it. To be honest, she felt a bit more scared at not being terrified of this situation. No, like this was exciting even though it shouldn't. Odd feelings...

Still she stood, looking at the stranger with a firm serious expression, though was slightly struggling from unsheathing her blade and just standing there.

[b]"What do you want with Asuka-San?"[/b] she asked, ears flattening briefly before perking again as he watched him.
