Kyoko gasped in pain after she swung. "How?" Blood dripped down her side and she had to drop to the ground. She defensively put up her territory and watched as Chou fired at the Reaper and the Spirit dodged all the attacks gracefully. She hated how even after all they had done they still hadn't been able to permanently harm the Spirit.

She turned to start firing her Auldists at the Spirit when she saw her take a hostage. Kyoko gritted her teeth from the pain and frustration. It was difficult to maintain an optimistic point of view when it came to Spirits. Kyoko struggled to make a decision about what to do. How could she save her comrade without hurting her? Should she stop? She hated that if she did this meant another Spirit would get away.
