R&R longer note at the end
Haruka followed behind the blue haired miqo'te leader as she stepped out in front of her tribe, the guards stood talking with the black haired Ayame looked up as their eyes darted to the stranger behind her quickly drawing their weapons as other warriors of the tribe followed their example eyes locked onto the stranger.
"Sheathe your weapons and gather round" Yozakura called out as the tribe looked on confused as they started to gather keeping their weapons out as Ayame disappeared remembering her next duty "I assure you this girl is a friend to our tribe and as such I have decided in order to strengthen our tribe this beautiful human will be taking over as leader". The group looked stunned turning to each other by this revelation as the warriors of the tribe turned to look at the honey blonde girl who stood quiet smirking, their blood began to boil as they charged forwards ready to attack.
"Secret witch art: Shadow stitch" Haruka said as the warrior's bodies froze up stopping them in place, a thin strand trailed from the top of their shadow to their head as the rest of the group began to panic rushing for the exits finding their way blocked by a wall of viera.
"What's the meaning of this my lady?" the blue haired miqo'te said turning on Haruka with a look of shock in her eyes "This wasn't part of our deal". Without a word Haruka walked up to the girl running a hand down her cheek before moving to the front of the stage seeing the look of fear in the groups eyes, Ayame watched on feeling confused as to what was happening she wondered if she had made the wrong choice as her head started to hurt.
"Fear not my loyal kittens, the viera will not hurt you if you comply" Haruka said as the group backed up, the warriors of the tribe continued to fight trying to get free as the witch reached into her pouch again "Of course just like the viera you all seem to need an incentive to comply, don't worry though I have a way to make you see things my way". The witch smiled as the groups eyes widened in shock as they tried to run being held in place by the viera's as Haruka tossed the powder into the group as they all began to lose the will to fight, the daggers of the tribe fell to the floor as their hands became numb.
The blonde miqo'te watched on from outside as she took off running, what had she just witnessed? Just who was that human? Where could she go now?

Hibari and Minori watched from their hiding spot seeing their friends laying in the cart as the viera continued to fire off arrows keeping them pinned down, the two fairies tried to concentrate formulating a plan however their eyes fell on the other viera, hiding behind a barrel clearly frozen in fear feeling a surge of anger flood her body Minori took off at high speed towards the viera as she hovered in front of her eyes.
"Hey, what's the big idea?" Minori asked her voice filled with anger as she tugged at the girl's hair snapping her back to the present as she tried to swat the fairy away "Open your eyes and look already, the two people you came searching for, the two you asked for help are now pinned down by one of your own. You who wanted them to help save your friends are hiding behind a barrel like a coward, how about you get some courage and fight by their side".
"What would you know?" Asuka shot back in anger "How would you feel if you were in this position? How would you feel if someone you'd spent so much time with was currently trying to harm you? Would you want to fight them? Would you be able to hurt them?" Minori stayed silent feeling a little taken aback by the sudden questions, she tried to process what she had just been asked. What if it was her in this position? What would she do?
"I have a plan" Hibari's voice came as she floated over holding up her small hands "Just stop talking and listen, if we're going to pull off this plan then we all have to work together. This includes Miyabi and Murasaki, the timing has to be perfect or it won't work". Asuka and Minori stayed quiet putting their argument to one side as they listened intently to Hibari's plan, seeing their make shift barrier continue to crumble Miyabi looked at the tired Murasaki, this girl seemed intent on taking her down counting the shots Miyabi jumped back out of the cart katana clutched in her hand as she stared the viera down.
"If you want me then fine" Miyabi called out as Kafuru's eyes and aim turned to her "Let's do this".
Haruka's doll army has grown once more but once again someone escaped her clutches but who is she and were is she going? Meanwhile in a decisive move to draw the attention from her tired friend Miyabi is going to risk it all to beat the viera but just what is Hibari's plan and why is the timing so important?
Well guess we'll have to wait to find out
