Tachibana was trying to grapple a gangly youma she had found attacking people in the park. She had distracted it with her magic, a shower of golden petals taking up it's attention long enough for the civilians to get away. She was trying her hardest to put to use the techniques she had started learning in her Aikido self defense class but she was still a novice and was struggling to take the weird slender man esk youma down.
She hadn't noticed the very powerful and pure aura approaching her. She had just managed to get the youma to the ground as it thrashed under her grip when the owner of the aura arrived. A familiar and friendly face. "Ida!?"
Tachibana perked up from her position on the ground. "You're here! Could you maybe help me finish it off? Please!" She called as she tried to hold onto the monster. She felt like she was making strides towards being able to fight on her own but she was definitely not beyond asking for help when it appeared.

She'd felt the faint order signature and heard the sounds of fighting from the next block over. Ida had immediately turned to follow it, hoping whoever it was, they were doing okay. So many of them patroled and fought alone, but it was so easy to get overwhelmed that way, to come up against something stronger than you were.
It was a surprise when it turned out to be someone she knew. Tachibana, one of the Koronis, fighting against a youma. Ida was immediately concerned, even though the chibi seemed to be holding her own, and she was moving to help the moment the other called to her. She had it on the ground, so Ida took advantage and slammed her boot down onto it, feeling parts of it break under her strength. She hit again while Tachibana held it, focused on turning it to dust before it could hurt either of them.
She felt very little remorse for it... youma were monsters, often mindless ones, with no desire beyond feeding. The sooner they sent it back to the rift, the safer the city would be.

Tachibana continued to hold the monster down as Ida stomped it into dust with a few powerful blows. Tachibana got up off the ground and brushed the dust off of herself. "Thank you Ida-nee." She huffed a bit from the exertion. She was glad to see the older senshi, she hadn't seen her since the big battle and even they they hadn't really had time to talk.
"I'm glad to see you again Ida." Tachibana said once she had caught her breath. "What are you doing out here are you on patrol?" She asked looking up at the older woman.
"How have you been? We didn't really get a chance to talk last time we saw each other." She said a bit sadly thinking back on the battle and all the harm it had caused. "Have the other Koronis senshi been well?" She hadn't seen or heard from them since the battle on her world so she hoped they were ok.

Turning her attention away from the monster now that it was dust under her feet, Ida gave Tachibana a concerned look over, making sure the other girl wasn't hurt from the fight. It was hard to say how long she'd been tussling with that thing before Ida had gotten there...
"Did you get hurt anywhere?" She asked, resisting the urge to straighten the girl's uniform and dust her down as she looked for injuries. She had to settle for patting her shoulder, feeling far too much like a concerned older sister. "I'm fine, I was on patrol, yeah. I don't know so much about the other Koronis though... I haven't really seen any of them in quite some time. I hope they're all good too. Sometimes people's lives just take them different place."
She knew that all too well, and had seen it far too often in her own life. Pushing away the sad feelings that brought up, she put a smile on her face instead. "What about you?"

Tachibana appreciated the older woman's concern, she didn't think too much about the fussing being the youngest child of a very large family even if she was trying to be more independent as she was nearly a teenager. She shook her head the question. "No it wasn't able to reach me in that position." She looked down a bit embarrassed. "I've been taking martial arts classes to try to learn how to fight better since my magic can only distract people, but I still have some work before I can end a fight on my own I guess." She said with a bit of a chuckle.
She was a little saddened to hear that the other Koronis had gone silent even for Ida, but she understood sometimes it was easier to just set aside your henshin pen than to power up and face the war. She just hoped that was all it was that people had decided they didn't want to patrol and not that something worse had happened to them. It was hard not fear the worst after what she was pretty happened to her older sister.
She wore a bit of a forlorn expression, "I just...I've had a lot on my mind so I wanted to patrol to take me my mind off of things and then I found that." She gestured in the vague direction of the pile of Youma dust. " Attacking people."

Ida absently brushed some of the dust off Tachibana's skirt before she straightened up, startled a little when she realized how much taller the young girl had gotten since the first time they'd met. She hadn't realized, really, how much time had passed... and hadn't anticipated how quickly children grew up. She wasn't entirely sure how old Tachibana actually was, but she suspected she was closer to the age Ida had been when she awakened than Ida was to that age now.
It was always off putting to realize time was passing you by.
She hmmed softly and then nodded, gesturing deeper into the park.
"Do you wanna tell me about it? We can walk together for a bit." She said as she half turned, waiting for the younger girl.

Tachibana nodded and follow the older Senshi. She glanced up at Ida judging if she should talk about her problems, the older woman was sort of family at least in a cosmological sense and the young girl did trust her. She hesitated but ultimately decided to open up if nothing else maybe Ida's greater experience as a Senshi could provide her some guidance on how to fix things.
"Do...do you know how to find someone taken by the Negaverse?" She asked. "Its my older sister, she was a knight of Mars, Shiroyama. She disappeared around the time of the last of big battle. So many people got taken I...I think she was one of them."
"I never met her when she was powered so I don't know what she looked like. I learned about her powers from my brother after she disappeared. Oh he's also a knight, Aokigahara of Saturn." She explained.

Ida felt her stomach sink as Tachibana explained. Taken by the Negaverse. That only ended one of two ways... maybe three. But none of those were something she wanted to have to explain to a young girl about her lost sibling.
At least she recognized the name of her brother. That was rather a surprise, that all three of them were powered. Her own brother was well past the age that most senshi awakened, and she was glad of that. As long as he stayed out of trouble, hopefully he would continue being safely unaware of the secret war they all fought. She worked every night for that, to keep him and her father safe.
"Have you talked to Aokigahara about it?" She asked tentatively. He was probably the better one to break this news to her than Ida was... She would, if she had to, for one of the Koronis, but it was different when it came from someone you were close to.

Tachibana nodded. "When I had suspicions I went to him first." She explained. "He's alot closer to her age so I thought maybe he would know the truth. He promised he'd look for her but I need to help too. I know its nearly impossible but I can't give up I need to find her." She let a out a sigh, she realized it was alot to put this on someone who really wasn't involved.
"Sorry I know that's alot I was just hoping maybe you knew something about this since you've been a senshi for so long." She explained.

He said he would look for her, huh? That wasn't... helpful, at the moment.
"I do know some things, but... its a lot to talk about here." She temporized, turning over her thoughts in her head. An idea occurred and she turned, offering a hand to the younger girl.
"Hey, you want to go to Ida with me? Then we can sit in the grass and talk about it, and maybe figure out a plan for you." She held up a cautionary finger. "One that's safe, hopefully, and won't get you hurt."

Tachibana smiled getting off world sounded nice right about now so she readily agreed. She took Ida's hand and waited for the older woman to teleport them to her world. "I'd like that." She said appreciative that the senshi was going to help her. "Thank you!"
