Kitsuna could not help the whimper that escaped her as she was strung up in the air by her tails by the shadows. She could not help the instinctive failing, the desperate kicking and the futile midair paddling. Her face was pointed downwards looking back at Ren as he crouched, her enemy, snarling up at her as she dangled helpless. Taking a deep breath Kitsuna attempted to calm down and remember that even if Ren was snarling at her like an enemy, she didn’t need to panic.

Kitsuna snarled as loud as she could and then began to swing herself back and forth until she finally built up enough momentum to flick herself upwards. Baring her teeth Kitsuna sunk her fangs into the tangible shadows that held her tails, so now she was upright and that at least was something, the blood was stuck in her head any more. She did have one idea for an escape route but it was not an option she was comfortable with. Her tails may be prevented from summoning flames but the rest of her wasn’t. 

Acting her flame powers over the rest of her body Kitsuna closed her eyes and concentrated, she poured all her energy into the waves of rolling heat. She opened her eyes and looked at herself the flames had reached the blue stage of heat and she was still getting hotter, her whole body swirling and moving with the flames. Growling again she pushed harder forcing her energy to fuel the flames hotter and hotter, she felt herself hit the wall she had always encountered before, the limit of her power. Snarling in determination Kitsuna pushed on until she became a ball of white flame, she no longer had a body coated in flames, she was just fire, fire that for now held the shape of the wolf. With a thought released that form and slipped to the ground free of the shadows that held her, but once she stood on solid ground again Kitsuna took the form that felt most natural to her. Looking down at her bright white form Kitsuna smiled. 

“Well this is new; I haven’t gone this hot before.” She found she had much more control over it now, she wasn’t burning the floor or anything around her, it was just her that burning. She gave herself a quick shake in this fire form then like releasing the tension from her muscles she released her power and returned to normal. Kitsuna was panting hard but smiling brightly at her triumph. 

(OOC - just to let you know Kitsuna has changed, she has grown a new tail now. Just in case you wanted to 'see' or mention it.)
