Towa stood with her kendo sword gripped tightly in her hand. The air was thick with tension, as the enigmatic figure cloaked in shadows emerged from the darkness, its intentions unclear. Towa's heart pounded in her chest, but she steeled herself, ready to defend herself against the unknown threat.
The figure moved with unnatural grace, it's every step an ethereal dance. Their presence seemed to warp the very air around them, leaving an unsettling aura in their wake. Without uttering a word, it lunged at Towa, and the fight commenced.
Towa wielded her kendo sword with precision but the mysterious figure was elusive, slipping through her defenses as if they were a mere illusion. The clash of steel rang through the night, creating an eerie symphony of battle.
As the confrontation intensified, Towa's heart began to waver. Doubt crept into her mind, and for a moment, she faltered, leaving an opening for the figure to strike. But just as their blade was about to land, a roar echoed through the clearing, cutting through the tension like thunder.
"ROARRRRR!!!!"
A magnificent white tiger bounded into the scene, its eyes blazing with an otherworldly intensity. With primal ferocity, it leaped at the figure, unleashing a flurry of claws and fangs. The mysterious figure seemed taken aback by the sudden appearance of the majestic beast, its enigmatic demeanor wavering for the first time.
Towa watched in awe as the white tiger fought fiercely, its every movement a testament to its power and grace. It seemed as if the tiger itself was a force of nature, a guardian spirit come to her rescue. For some reason, she felt like she saw the tiger once before. That's right, the tiger looked like it came from life from Riei's tattoo!
The white tiger bites off the hand that was holding the sword causing the mysterious figure to retreat, disappearing back into the shadows from which it had emerged. The clearing fell into a reverent silence, the moonlight casting a soft glow on Towa and the white tiger.
Towa couldn't tear her eyes away from the tiger. The white monster approached the bloodied hand and sank its teeth into the blade. The animal then looked at Towa with intelligence in its eyes.
As if understanding what it mean, Towa approached the tiger.
"Y-You want me to follow you?"
The tiger cocked its head towards the Nura mansion. Towa nodded and jumped upon the tiger's back.

"Riei-sama... just killed Hitotsume...?"
The yokai's faces were etched with shock and disbelief as they saw what had transpired.
