The barely breathing Sakuya began slowly taking deeper breaths as the healing progresses. Eventually the process would begin to speed as her own regeneration abilities joined in to expedite the process. Sakuya suddenly felt a rush of sensation. The briskness of the mountain air, the coldness and wetness of the snow, and the feeling of her wounds closing as she was healed. The last thing to return was her vision, although she could only see haze and blurred masses. Reacting on reflex, she open a Garganta beneath herself and slipped through it. Another would open up near where her swords had fallen and she would emerge seemingly mid jump as she spun in air, grabbed both blades by their hilts, then landed with them at the ready. She wavered as when her feet made contact as her leg muscles were still very weak due to lactic acid buildup from the lack of oxygenated blood when she stopped breathing and her heart almost stopped, but she did not fall by the force of sheer willpower.

It was then that her field of vision became clear as fresh oxygen carrying blood revived her cells, restoring them to full capacity. When she saw that Kodo was nowhere to be found, she calmed down and sheathed her weapons after which she turned and faced away from the three of them without anything more than just acknowledging their presence. A relic of the old Sakuya, her intense temper, had reared it head and she was furious at the moment. However, the new mature Sakuya was enraged with herself and struggling to internalize her feelings for the time being instead of throwing a tantrum and taking it out on whatever happened to be nearby. Once again she had to be rescued like a child. It was downright infuriating. She could tell from the immediate area the battle had been fairly intense as well, which meant to her that someone was protecting her lifeless corpse at their own risk during the exchange.

Finally, after a minute of stoic silence, she let out a simple sigh followed by a hushed She didn't know what was holding her back, but she would figure it out if it killed her. She had trained intensely and her desire to protect Zenos and now Zenon were an additional driving force behind her need to improve. There had to be something that was still holding her back. Perhaps there was an area in which she was failing to push herself and establish new limits beyond what she had come to accept as the ceiling of her potential. Her introspection done for the moment, she finally turned her attention back on the trio, visibly more centered emotionally that she had been only moments ago. After a curious glance between the three she finally asked a question that could easily be read in her face before it passed her lips. "I though you said you were a twin. Or was another of your siblings here, also?"
