Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kirai moved backwards, his hand still moving in handsigns. An aura of indigo covered his hand, and stretched out into a sword. Kirai used this sword to smack the Energy blast aside, though...A bit of it flew off and scraped his shoulder. The rest ran into the energy field, and fused with it flawlessly.
"Temper, Temper. Now look what you've gone and done..."
Kirai's shoulder was burned slightly, and blood was dripping down the inside of his coatsleeve, and down his scroll. Falling off at the tips. Kirai's Clothes were ripped now, and he'd have to fix them later..Oh well.
He ripped the rest of his sleeve off; It would allow more movement now, which he was sure he'd need soon anyway.
He stared Glissa down, thinking about what to do next.

"Fun time."
Kirai formed the handsigns again, then pulled his scroll out and touched the blue aura to it. There was a bright flash, and then Kirai's tag was gone. In It's place was an 8 foot long, black katana. It glinted light off of it's surface ominously, showing off its deadly, but beautiful body and gloss. Runes were seemingly written in the metal.
"Get ready, because i'm not playing around anymore."
Kirai took a rather strange stance, that left him completely open to just about every form of attack. It seemed like only an idiot would take that stance.

Shockingly enough, Kirai sliced the dark energy ball with total ease despite his stance, and it completely dissipated. Kirai immediately began to charge Glissa again, his sword slightly dragging the ground with the tip dredging the surface, like a hoe to a garden. He slashed quickly at Glissa, letting one hand move the sword. He began forming some handsigns with his free hand, until it as glowing with aura. He thrust his palm at her, attempting to strike her with it. He knew that he needed to stay close to Glissa now; Fighting from a distance with the field limit lurching like that wouldnt benefit him at all. He needed t stay close, because if he acted as if he could escape the field, glissa would change her strategy. No; He needed to act as if the field really was life threatening.

Kirai stood there, proud that he had finally landed an attack. He looked up at her with his steely eyes, then slighty panted; He was starting to feel the tendrils of fatigue gripping his body. Fighting with his sword cost a constant amount of energy, and was usually used as an ending move, but...He was using it normally. this was a big strain on him, but he couldn't show it. He couldn't show fear, or weakness. He looked down at Glissa's sword sticking out of the ground with a slight smirk. Then looked back up with a final sigh; He was back in control, and he had caught his second wind.
"What's wrong? You give up?"
He moved forward a bit, acting casual. The real reason was though, that he was trying to moderate a certain amount of space between both the wall and himself, And the space between him and glissa.

Kirai immediately thrust his sword into the ground, like he was planting it in an altar(think of how Link takes the master sword out of its pedestal)
A field of inidgo energy covered kirai just in time to bounce the Tendrills off in random directions. Kirai the pulled the blade out of the ground, and leapt up towards glissa. His body still had a small field around it, but it was fading quickly. However, it had enough energy left to block a few tendrils if need be. He rapidly approached her, then swiped at her with his blade as best he could before dropping back down to earth.

Kirai watched Glissa burst into smoke, and felt part of him die inside. He quickly reassured himseld everything was fine, however, when he saw that she was charging towards his landing point.
"Crap...CRAP!"
He formed a handsign, then the remainder of his aura concentrated into the tip of his finger. He aimed it at Glissa, waiting until she was a close as safely possible to fire off a small bullet of aura. Kirai landed on the ground, his shoulderblades nearly cracking as he landed on them. he grunted in sever pain, then immediately hopped to his feet, moving ********, that hurt.."

With the remainder of his will, Kirai swung his sword about, slashing away at the darkness. After the first few shots, a couple of tendrils blindsighted him and got off a few skims of his flesh. Burns and small crevices opened up in his back and his side, and a bit of blood spilled out onto the ground. He slashed rapidly, gathering the bits of energy that were hidden deep in the reserves of his heart, to get rid of the last bit of the barrage.
"Shutup and die, damn you!"
Kirai slashed randomly at the ground, apparently going mad. Why did he apparently hate the earth now? Well, the truth was, he didnt; After a few minutes, the slashes in the ground formed and extremely complex diagram. Kirai thrust his blade into the center, and there was a blinding flash of blue.
After a brief moment, the light cleared; Kirai's Appaerance had changed slightly. His hair was down, long and straight in the back and short and a bit spiky in the front. Out of the sides of his head protruded two white wolf ears, smooth and silky. On his chest, the sign of kurokiba was blazing in indigo. His eyes...Were now white. The iris had changed it color entirely. sticking out of the back of his now bleached pants was a white wolf tail, standing straight up. Kirai's blade remained the same, but the runes were now glowing indigo as well. There were no longer injuries on his body; only scars where the injuries wouldve been. A feint aura of indigo encased his body, coming off in an occasional wave like smoke.
"...Lets play."
Kirai swung his sword softly, and a huge and violent wave of blue erupted off of the edge of his blade. It headed low, towards Glissa's shins. Kirai ran up casually, following up a few feet behind the wave with his blade at ready.
