Kaname, who had just been watching the chase this whole time with a smile was pulled from her thoughts at the sound of the angel's voice. Turning toward her, the young woman offered up a smile, "It's great to see you again too, Akari-san, it's been too long! You're looking well too, how have you been?" Hearing the bakas coming closer, Kaname sweat-dropped at the angel's words. "Well, not too often anyway...heheh. But, that new youkai is called Ryo - he's an imp just like Yasou and Hikari, they all seem to be pretty close from what I've seen. He's a bit of an odd one, but if you can get past his odd behaviors, he doesn't seem too bad." A small smile formed then as she spoke up for the last question, "And yes, that's Kagome-san. I think you two will get along really well...just don't bring up how much she looks like Kikyou, all right? It's a bit of a sore subject..." sweatdrop
It was then Yume's familiar voice was heard, and the first thing the kunoichi did was yell at Ryo to stop and put the miko down. Turning her full attention toward the four, Kaname gasped quietly when Ryo lunged at Inuyasha, and stopped leaning against the engawa to stand a bit more tensely.
The fight quickly escalated, and it was clear Ryo meant to harm Inuyasha, but why?! Taking a defensive stance in front of Kohaku and the twins, Kaname watched as Inuyasha made things even worse by drawing Tetsusaiga and using the Adamant Barrage...really, in the village?? A small frown creased the Shikigami user's lips...she wanted to use her Wind Shikigami to create her barrier, but even after all her training in her world, she knew she wouldn't be able to block Inuyasha's attacks. Her barrier wasn't as powerful as Naraku's, and the hanyou had been able to finally break through that on multiple occasions, so she unfortunately couldn't hope to try to stop the fighting.
And for some reason, she felt uneasy if she did try to intervene...Ryo was clearly still unpredictable, so it was hard to say if he would then turn on her...and she didn't want to provoke the imp any farther.
Kaname noticed Kagome check on Yume, who had been flung fairly close to her by Ryo almost into the engawa. Since she was OK Kaname said nothing, but continued to watch the fight. As she was about to say something to the shards of adamant that had come a bit too close to her for comfort, Kohaku beat her to it. Hearing the boy say exactly what she was thinking, the girl kept her defensive stance in front of the engawa, in case she needed to summon a Shikigami to protect the hut.
