The closest he'd ever come to seeing Kagome's reiki in action had been that first day before they had left…and it had been marvelous and fascinating, but it had not been intended to harm. Priestess' sole defense lay in their ability to purify, and from Kagome's stories it seemed she had a lot of experience in offensive, with little knowledge of how it worked. So while Youko had set about furthering the theories, he had yet to witness her in action.
Her form was decent ––good even, for someone who had only begun training a few years ago. It was clear no one had taught her formally, but the motion was smooth and sure. It was difficult to tell how accurate her aim was however, because the moment she let go of the arrow a brilliant, and abrasive, pink light swallowed it whole, and flew towards the tree. It took out the surrounding bark, and Youko vaguely recalled that the plants were likely still filled with youki.
His hairs stood on end and a metallic taste burned hot in his mouth ––despite this, excitement grew eager in his belly, because–
"That was huge!" Kuronue exclaimed, flying over to Kagome. "I've seen hama no ya before, but never with such ferocity."
She blushed. They'd have to fix that demure quality of hers or the clan would have a free for all.
But Youko agreed. "You have the raw strength to rival any priestess in history…we only need to refine it a bit."
