Kaori's eyes shot open as he heard Mary and he quickly turned to her, he felt his heart sink seeing the expression on her face and hearing her voice.
He wanted to say something but no words came out, even Jin was shivering and jumped into Kaori's kimono when he was pushed behind Eryn.
Kaori nodded hearing Eryn's words and peeked from behind him as Mary's power started showing itself, he stared wide-eyed at the scene only reacting when Mary grabbed the helmet, he unconsciously reached his hand out to stop her but Mary was gone in the next second causing him to lower his hand.
"Mary-chan..." Kaori mumbled lowering his head. 
He quickly looked back up hearing Raina's words and nodded as she started after her, Kaori stepped out from behind Eryn as Jin jumped back out onto his shoulder, a sad yip came from the little fox and Kaori reached over and pet its head.
"It's not your fault...you didn't know," Kaori said. "Let's wait here for them okay."
A giant red glow formed in the sky as Jin yipped in response, Kaori quickly turned his attention to it as the red filled the sky, his jaw dropped as the talisman let off a fierce glow. Jin hopped off Kaori shoulder and quickly transformed into Alari before pointing to himself than out to the light.
"That's Oji-san's doing?" Kaori asked. 
Jin nodded and waved his arms causing Kaori to looked back out at the light.
"...Oji-san."

Larel reeled back at the attack but he kept his hold, he couldn't let Sybil get away he had to get Hotaru back. The moment he saw the look on her face he let out a small smile and sighed a little, but when the horrified expression showed he figured he'd better start explaining what exactly happened.
Larel let his darkness subside and releasing Hotaru stepped back to force the sword out of his gut he put his hand over the wound and wiped the blood from his mouth before holding up his other hand to show he was alright. He noticed Mera had run off with some woman and knew it wasn't safe for her to be running around in her current state, but he had to explain what happened to Hotaru she was probably a tad confused at what had happened.
"Good to have you back Hotaru, first off I'm fine I made sure the attack didn't hit any lethal organs I let it hit me so I could get the blood into you," Larel said. "It wasn't my blood either it was an already dead woman's from the house over there, it was Zenmaru's plan to get it to you not Mera-sama's she just wanted to get the blood in you but Sybil used your own body as a hostage so we resorted to such a trick. I apologize for having to resort to such measures."
Larel's spit the blood out of his mouth before shaking his head as he removed his hand from his wound.
"I don't know how you drink that stuff," Larel said chuckling a little but it quickly faded as a realization came to place. "I just kissed Sybil...oh man I'm going to be sick. I mean it was you but she's in you so it was her so...ugh..."
Larel covered his mouth as his face paled at the idea of it, as he stood there Zenmaru watched the two with a small smirk on her face as she started moving her darkness.
Since the two were so occupied and with all these demons around it wouldn't be too surprising for an...'accident' to happen to them. That seal wasn't stopping her either which only brought her more joy.
She started to move the darkness into a weapon but a red glow filled the sky directly above them, when it did Larel quickly looked at the sky as a figure fell from above and landed directly behind Larel lowering on one knee to steady themselves.
The figure seemed to be a young woman shorter than Hotaru and Larel, she barely looked old enough to be an adolescent but what she wore made her stand out.
She had on a short kimono which stopped a little past her knees and over top of it she had the top part of Alari's kimono on, the light blue pattern with the fish and what looked like plants on it was hard to miss as he always wore it around. She had on Alari's glasses as well and with one motion of her hand she threw out her medium length blond hair that stopped at the top of her back.
She had on white tabi and red geta that made her seem taller than she truly was, she was slim and had pale skin, her fingers were slender and she reached up and adjusted her glasses with them.
She turned around her bright blue eyes landing on Larel's wound, she reached forward and grabbed it causing him to flinch, when she did a yellow glow enveloped her hand and the wound closed and healed itself.
Without a word she turned and walked over to Zenmaru, she tapped a wooden sword on her shoulder as she walked and when she passed Zenmaru slammed it against her skull causing Zenmaru to grip her head before the girl sped off in the direction Mera had gone, Zenmaru scoffed and chased after her.

The girl jumped from building to building going as fast as she could move, however when she neared Mary she was quickly forced down to the earth and hit the ground with a loud crash creating a small crater in the process, the girl groaned and got back to her feet before her eyes landed on Mera, she did what she could to get next to her and get a better look at Mary. Her eyes landed on Mary and her target, seeing their father her eyes narrowed a bit before her glasses started to crack from the pressure.
"If she goes and get's herself hurt," the girl said her voice light and soft as she stared at Mary. "I'll never hear the end of it."
The girl stood fully up resisting the pressure the best she could and opened her mouth however she stopped and turned around as Zenmaru rushed at her reaching for her face, she slammed her wooden sword into the side of her skull sending her into the ground with a 'stay'.
Zenmaru grit her teeth and tried to stand up but the pressure was a bit much in her current form causing her to only be able to take a knee, she glared at the girl as she turned back around.
"You...what are you?" Zenmaru said before leaning forward as the pressure got to her more. Her eyes went to the girl's back before she noticed the red talisman appear and vanish, her eyes widened at it and she lowered her head and grit her teeth before punching the roof a grin showing on her face realizing what she was.
"That little...heh...hahahahah..."
Even with the small crack on Alari's glasses a glare seemed to form on them as she took in a deep breath.
"Mary!" the girl yelled Alari's voice coming from the girl. 
When the glare faded her eyes let off a familiar red glow as she stared at Mary her grip tightening on her sword as the pressure caused the glasses to fully crack.
"Mary you have to stop this! Those artifacts are harmful remember! if Mera's claw burnt her hand I don't want to think about what that helmet will do to you! We'll take him to down together don't force it all on yourself!"
She couldn't move towards her, this force was relentless if that wasn't enough she was going to have to pull from something. She was glad Zenmaru was around for that convenience should it come to it.
"You're not even real...yet you have that much power....ridiculous." Zenmaru said a grin on her face.
