"I'm not surprised he's lying to you, I know what he is so please believe me! You can't trust him!" When the blonde finished his sentence you immediately noticed the shift in the atmosphere. Hanako had risen from the ground. Holding Nene close to his chest, he pointed a knife at the boy.

"Seems like the cat's out of the bag now."

-------------------------------------------------

You froze. Your unbeating heart seemed to hammer against your ribcage like a drum against all logic. She was in danger, you concluded. It was time to get your priorities in check- for too long you had solely focused on avoiding Hanako and look where that had gotten you. You had been ignoring your duty as Nene's protector.

Rising to your four paws you stood tall. You moved in the blink of an eye, disappearing from the spot behind Hanako to appearing right in his field of vision. Your expression was calm, but not the same could be said for the malicious protective aura that surrounded you. Now that you were close enough to Hanako, he immediately took note of you, glancing at you for a brief moment.

"I knew it- I knew something was off about you," Hanako chuckled lowly, leaving the blonde that had leaped away from him in a confused state. Nene was no better, her eyes swirling with confusion as she tried to find a reason for Hanako's comment.

You didn't need to use your words to get the message across. Hanako knew what kind of spirit you were the moment he felt your aura- the intent behind your hostility clear as day to him. He knew you wanted him away from Nene.

Letting Nene go, he floated backwards a few inches. Just like moments before, you seemed to appear and disappear at an incredible speed. This time, you appeared right at Nene's feet, biting into her clothes before dragging her off to the side. She appeared to be slightly frightful of you at this moment. The blonde boy cast you a knowing look. He had come to the same conclusion as Hanako.

"How rude. What if I wasn't ready to share that with my new friends just yet?" Hanako noted, eyes glinting with mischief. You pondered briefly why he used the plural form of "friend", because you and Hanako were certainly not friends.

"Come, hakujoudai," he started, allowing one of his hakujoudai to start circling him, "yes, I have killed someone, it's true. But I've asked for forgiveness and kami-sama told me that if I could fulfill this role, my sins would be absolved. Which means I can't get myself be exorcised today. Sorry~" Hanako concluded, pointing his knife at the blonde exorcist once more, although his appearance had changed. Although he was very close to it, your boundary appeared to not hinder his use of this ability. You pondered if it was because he was not standing directly on the area that could be classified as the entrance to your boundary.

"You have no idea what you're talking about!" The Minamoto kid spoke through gritted teeth, holding his weapon steadily in his hands.
