"I best tread carefully

"I best tread carefully." Akina says calmly to herself as Byakko laughs. "The only thing you can do now is run." Byakko says to Akina before beginning to power up another Tiger Scream at her, making her take a large leap to the platform in front of her and then to the side as she sees that he powers up more quicker than the previous attack and aims at her every time she lands on a knew platform. In seeing that he had yet to destroy her with such an attack, Byakko stops sending continuous blasts. This makes Akina raise an eyebrow and looks at him to then see that he had purposely delayed the next attack, that comes hurling towards her. "LOOK OUT SIS!" Yusuke shouts as she leaps over the blast and onto a platform that it passed. But as she does this she continues to think to herself, 'He has a good strategy, I'll give him that. But he underestimates me greatly.' 

"HAD ENOUGH?!" Byakko shouts with great irritation in his tone as he decides to use another attack on her. Sharp claw like blades made from his energy. In seeing this, Akina smirks and whispers, "Goro, I wish to borrow a skill." Byakko then throws his new attack at her as he yells, "TIGER CLAW!" And with that Akina swipes her right hand towards the attack as she yells back, "MIGHTY CLAW!" An attack that looked similar to his but encased with green energy flies towards Byakko's claws. This allows her to safely land on the platform as the two attacks collide and make a small explosion. "What the...!?" Yusuke shouts out whilst Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara have their mouths open in shock and amazement. "That wasn't Akina's energy." Kurama breaths out, leading to Hiei saying, "No. It was the dog's. It seems that the Detective's sister has claimed ownership of him and is sharing energy with him." Akina smirks at the Tiger and asks, "Didn't you notice that six of us entered your domain and yet five stand before you now?" This makes the Tiger growl in frustration, before speaking, "You surprise me. You turn to powerful Demonic Energy despite your frail Human Body." This makes Akina say, "I'm anything but frail. For death couldn't claim me." This makes Yusuke and Kurama go stiff for a moment.

"That's interesting. But the truth is, you've already lost." Byakko says. "Like all my victims before you, my Tiger Scream has proved too much." This makes Kuwabara yell at him, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?! YOU DIDN'T HIT HER ONCE, YOU BASTARD! YOU MISSED HER EVERY SINGLE TIME!" This makes Akina shake her head and call back, "That's not what he means Kuwabara!" This makes Byakko chuckle and say, "Yes. The Human Girl is correct. While she has been frantically running for her life, I have ensnared her." 'I wouldn't say that I was frantically running nor am I ensnared.' Akina thinks to herself, whilst Yusuke and Kuwabara ask, "What?" Akina mentally facepalms as she thought it was obvious. "Take a look around you." He speaks solely to Akina. "I have destroyed every pillar within your jumping reach. You have nowhere to go. Except of course for the pillar I'm standing on. With all your efforts you might be able to reach me, but then I will kill you myself." Akina thinks to herself, 'He must be aware of the platforms that are still withing jumping reach on the side of me. He wants me to believe that he has overlooked these. He's baiting me.' "Once again, I'll let my enemy choice their way to die." Byakko announces. "Either burn up in the lava or be eaten by me." He laughs.
