Within the dark thorn filled forest, Yakouboku came across the source of this intrusion, an individual shrouded but not unfriendly. This man went on to say that he could not be swallowed by something like this world which made a smile break across this woman's face. He went on to say that he meant nothing offensive in such a statement and she simply shook her head. "No, we are sure of our limitations, and it is quite true... Still, most wouldn't venture into the dark," she said as the man created a viewing panel and went on to explain that he'd merely come to observe and he made an observation about the nature of their powers. She nodded, "The presence of light creates stronger bonds with the shadows. It makes the darkness more vivid and alive, I can admit that..." she said. As she knew this to be the truth, and to be fair, the girl's own mindset lately had drained a bit of the vitality from the darkness which was the life's blood of the creatures. A world which was supposed to be plunged in darkness created by a blackened sun positioned like a moon was obstructed, and glowed only dimly for weeks. But these moods in the girl, would pass eventually... not that anyone really needed to know that. "Oh look, she's figured it out already, clever girl..."
As sure as these words were spoken, Benihime, was outside with the jelly fish hollow flying towards her.

AS it flew towards her though, a spike of shadows emerged immediately in front of her person, impaling the Hollow and causing it to let out a screech as it was so shocked by this. "BAKANA!" the screech also carried with it another sound. "I am not so simple as that. And let's be honest, if I'd moved I wouldn't have gotten to figure out this cool thing. Also, never get tired of that..." she said as the darkness spiked through it branched several times emerging from several different places in its body, including one through the top of its mouth to keep it from being able to screech again. "Now... what's with the spider mark, why is it only some of you... what makes you special?" she questioned. The girl was well and truly curious of course, but this Hollow wouldn't be able to answer, it's body was being consumed by the darkness and soon its soul was cleansed added hundreds to the forest of thorns which was her inner world. Dark glowing red eyes appeared in various places as this influx occurred but with this taken care of the young woman sighed. "Yare yare, I'm going to have to do it again... Ugh, I only have a three day pass. I guess... I'll report back and get another one..."
