Clow looked off to her and smiled, and then nodded before drowsily falling to the ground. He looked in bad condition, but was more or less just tired. Collapsing onto his back he still breathed and he was aware of everything.
"Ouch..."

Stretching and yawning, Irianna steps out of her room. Her travel bag is slung over her shoulder and between her wings. As usual, the leatherbound book is held in one hand. The braid has fallen out of her hair and left it in long red spirals. One of her tessen, the one constructed of steel spikes and pleated red silk, is held loosely in her right hand.
Iri starts down the hall and makes her way into the kitchen. She opens the fridge to grab an apple and a bottle of water, stowing both in her bag. Then she's back into the main hall and headed for the exit.

As Iri makes her way through the kitchen, she can hear one of the cupboards lightly rattling. As she moves away, it grows louder. When she reaches the exit of the dojo, Sage tumbles out of the cupboard and looks around hurriedly. He quickly gets to his feet and runs towards the door where Iri is, As he does...a howling can be heard outside.
Damn damn damn....they smelled the astral trail and followed it here....sounds like there's only one...but one can be enough at times.

Irianna stops just short of the dojo door. She hears first a rattling, one she had barely heard while in the kitchen, but seems much louder now. Then there's a loud thump and the sounds of someone running. Curious, she turns around. Iri sees Sage at the same time she hears the howl.
The winged woman grasps the steel spike and silk fan in her hand more tightly. Uh-oh. This doesn't sound good.
She narrows her violet eyes in concern and says, "Sage, what's going on?"

Looking to Iri, Sage replies, " This is why I don't do my psychic training around here that much....there's a 90% chance that a spirit is attracted to the sweet smell of psychic energy, and a 50% to 90% that that spirit is one of these things...Now then...I've found the most effective way to kill it is with a few hails of crystallized ectoplasm...do you think you could combine your wind manipulation to make them faster though? last time I had to fight one it took alot out of me..."
Sage sniffles " I miss my tail."

A tail? I won't ask.
Irianna nods and moves to stand beside Sage. Her bag and fan drop to the floor. "I've got just the thing. Haven't tried this before, but it should be easy enough. Kinda like what I did with my fans."
She brings her hands up to her face, interlaces the fingers, and takes a deep steadying breath. She expels the breath and with it a small amount of chakra. An eager breeze picks up the chakra and is immediately under the woman's will power. She expels a few more mouthfuls of chakra-laced breath, drawing forth a new breeze each time. One white wing makes a gesture, and the breezes wrap themselves around Sage.
"Tell me when you're ready and I'll carry your attacks on those breezes," Iri mutters under her breath. Her eyes are open, but they are unfocused and never glance at Sage. She is almost totally absorbed in the task at hand.

Sage nods. He then opens the door of the dojo. about 50 feet away, what could be considered a demon stands. It sniffs around the area a bit, and as the door opens, it stares directly at Sage. As the Demon begins it's charge for the door, Sage Manifests a writhing mass of ectoplasm in front of him. Instead of shaping it into the farmiliar guardian that he used against reeve, Sage instead solidifies it into a sphere. He then Hurls the sphere at the Demon with mental force alone, on it's way, it Shatters into many shards of ectoplasmic crystal. Each shard ranges in size from the size of a short sword, to the size of a pebble. As he sends the sphere forth, he speaks up, " Now Iri..."
((note: the 'demon' is a hollow..yes, bleach rip off...do I care? not so much. we've already got a few bleach based things...so it's not that far a stretch. And if you want to know how strong, it would be on the same level as the one that ichigo fought in episode 1-2.))

Irianna never even sees the Demon. Her violet eyes have lost all focus as she concentrates on controlling the wind currents under the influence of her chakra. With a forward flick of her right wing, the breezes shoot forward. They catch most of the ectoplasmic shards. A few breezes carry forth three or more of the shards. As they move to collide with the Demon, they gain speed and force. If they hit, they should bring quite a bit of damage to the Demon.
(( Gotcha. Glad I'm familiar with Bleach. ))

((YA WAI! ))
Seph pushed a branch from his path and stepped into the clearing, bags hung on every hangable part of his body. He waddled his way up the steps and into the kitchen, his blue eyes searching for places to put things.
This was a total waste. I don't have to eat.
No, but your Host, Sephiroth, does.
How primitive.
Seph began setting the groceries in their respective places around the kitchen.

((hey nyl...how's things been then?))
With the added force of Iri's wind, Sage's ectoplasmic shards shoot into the beast as it gets to the 30ft distance mark. It slides to a momentary stop at 20 feet as it shakes the shards out of it's flesh. The wounds it was given are deep, and one of the shards managed to puncture the beast's eye socket area, However, it seems more pissed than damaged.
With survival in mind, Sage grabs Iri's hand and closes the door. He then hightails it to the kitchen and begins gathering up another mass of ectoplasm. "Looks like our combo isn't quite strong enough to kill it in one blow...so. Care to call for help, or would you rather watch Emy try and take the damn thing on?"
After blinking a few times, Sage looks to Seph, " care to work some of your ninja fire magic and kill an evil spirit?"

((Sage just ran into the kitchen where Seph is?))
Nyl hummed to herself idly, smiling when she recognized the song. She was a good several miles from the dojo still, heading back through the air, as it was faster.

Iri squeaks in surprise and drops her concentration as Sage drags her to the kitchen. She stumbles and flaps her wings for balance the entire time. All the while she wonders if Sage might be about to pull her arm out of socket.
In the kitchen, Irianna is too busy massaging her sore shoulder to say anything to Seph. And she's also very worried about that strange demon. We didn't kill it? Snap!

((Apparently. Quite the disruption for one with groceries. ))
Seph jumped and turned slowly, looking to Iri and Sage. "I don't think Spirit's can be killed, Sage.. Wouldn't being a spirit entail that you are already dead?"

Sage shook his head, "fine...if you don't think you can blow a hole through it's head with your fire I'll have to pray that Emy is enough to handle the thing..."
As he spoke, the Demon howled once more, and began to bang it's fists against the doors of the main room.
Okay...got the ectoplasm ready around me...once it comes through the door, bring emy into being, and have him try to push it outside...
