Sesshomaru suddenly leapt at Kat's neck, his one hand poised to strike. Kat instinctively dodged, but Sesshomaru was still able to get a hold of Kat. Grabbing her by the hood, he lifted her up off her feet so they faced each other at eye level.
"Give me one reason, wench," he snarled, "why I shouldn't kill you!"
Kat seemed to ponder this heavily, and after a moment, she declared mischieviously, "Let me answer that with a head-butt!" She then slammed her head into Sesshomaru's. Unprepared, he dropped her; Kat landed in a crouch and stood up, about to run from the red-eyed psycho.
Recovering quickly, he wiped a small trickle of blood from his nose (Kat has an extremely hard head) and grabbed the girl by her short, boyish, dark-blue dyed hair. Tears came to Kat's eyes from the searing pain in her scalp; she was still trying to run.
She closed her eyes, trying to blink back the tears of pain, when she felt the strangest sensation. She was aware of everything; the air currents, the rustling of leaves on trees, the koi fish in the lake in the distance. Kat opened her eyes to find her arms engulfed in blue flames. She also noticed another thing; she couldn't feel the burn of the flames licking at her arms and hands—all she felt was the tingling sensation that had triggered just a moment before. Sesshomaru noticed the embers, too and dropped her again.
Kat then had an idea. She aimed one of her flaming hands toward the demon and thrust it out. The flames leapt at Sesshomaru, just missing his empty, armless sleeve. Kat then looked back down at her feet and hands; the flames were proceeding up her arms and legs, consuming her body in the embers. She felt another strange trigger in her head. Sesshomaru seemed to realize that if he stuck around, he would burn to death, along with this area of his land. He fled into his forest just as Kat's pupils dialated and the energy seemed to gather from the air around her, then violently released in a fiery explosion, burning the clearing and edge of the forest. Kat, though, didn't witness the explosion; she saw nothing but black as she collapsed, unconscious.
