So they were grabbed as well hm? The same thing happened to him. Someone must have dragged all of them to this place - whoever it was, though, still remains unknown. Kenji nodded at the other male's suggestion of exploring the grounds, but the feeling of the ground shaking took him by surprise and it was followed by a deafening roar which made the male flinch, the sound louder to him than the humans with him thanks to him being a wolf and all. He turned around to see a giant skeleton arm rising from the bottom of the stairs and then slamming down on the bottom steps and another one followed suit. And finally the body had shown itself. Kenji narrowed his eyes at the skeleton. A yokai? Definitely one. He can't mistake such a giant skeleton for anything else. A Gashadokuro perhaps? These ones were hard to cleanse, but smashing it should do the trick. Several skeletons crawled out of its body, eliciting a groan from the white haired male. He heard the male suggest they run away and he could hear his footsteps as he ran away. [color=gray]"I agree. Let us take shelter at the shrine."[/color] Kenji said, reaching under the wraps of his clothing and then taking out the Celestial Brush. He looked at the two other girls who were still remaining - with one having visible electric currents circling above her head and the other having horns. A Raijuu and an Oni? He couldn't be too sure about the former as she showed no signs of wielding the electricity but the Oni, with her superior strength as she shattered one of the skeletons to pieces, made it obvious that he was right. The white haired male looked back at one of the skeletons who was charging at him, bare-handed. He quickly started to write the kanji for fire in the air, each stroke visible as if he was writing on paper, but he was writing on [i]thin air.[/i] The symbol was very simple and very quick to do and once that was done, he crossed the symbol and it turned into a fireball and hurled itself at the skeleton, the impact shattering it and the fire still remained burning at the bones. It had been a while since he had actively used this against other beings, mostly because it was not normal (as it was magic) and it could potentially kill humans. He reached the Oni and dodged one of her swings before writing another fire symbol on the air and sending one at another skeleton to help her. [color=gray]"Shall we fight together, Oni?"[/color] He asked, for formality perhaps. He then went up a few more steps and hurled another fireball at the skeletons. He finally noticed two others at the top, one girl and another male with his head lopped off but still looked very much alive. Nukekubi? But, that only occured on women according to all accounts. The Gashadokuro was still there and certainly still a problem. [color=gray]"Do you think you can handle the Gashadokuro?"[/color] He asked the horned woman, expecting her to know about some Japanese lore. Though he was not entirely sure that it was a Gashadokuro, as it lacked the noise it would often produce, but it was the closest he could think of. [color=gray]"I can cover for you."[/color] He then turned his head towards the other people. [color=gray]"And them as well."[/color] His barrier spell should hold and they were further into the shrine which could be some sort of cover.
