The revelation did more than just break Seth's heart... it also made him even more susceptible to the darkness surrounding him! The dark mists' ominous embrace around him became even tighter around him, and it looked like he was going to succumb to the darkening!
"Shit! Seth! Sachiko, can you take the darkness from him?" Hotaru asked.
"I can only do so much, even with your help, and I got this jerk to deal with!" Sachiko yelled back. Even as she was saying that, the little ghost girl was standing up, and the wounds inflicted by Sachiko were closing up slowly. This would be a battle of attrition at this rate, one that Sachiko wasn't sure she could win alone, let alone while also trying to save Seth from himself. "He has to break out of this himself, of his own free will!"

"That just makes my job a lot easier then. I don't have to fight you... I just have to suck onii-chan here into the darkness with me!" the girl cackled before telekenetically breaking the glasses on the windows and pointing the shards at Seth!
"Sachi!"
As the girl let loose her deadly projectiles, Sachiko stood before him and started punching them out of the air to protect him! Unfortunately, Sachiko can only move so fast, and one large shard slipped past her - and it was aimed at his heart!
"Crap! I can't-"

But before the shard could hit Seth, something - or rather, someONE hit him first with a solid punch in the face that sent him sprawling away from the line of fire as well as breaking the hold that the darkness had on him. It was...

Seiko?

"Seth-kun, you idiot!" her incorporeal yet tangible form yelled at him. "Snap out of it! You can't protect me if you're dead or taken in by the darkness! You told me not to give up, so I'm not going to let you give up either! You stood by me... now it's my turn to stand by you!"
"Get back here to the darkness with the others, you meddling bitch!" the other girl yelled as she broke more glass and launched them towards Seth again, but Sachiko and Seiko both parried all of the glass shards and kept him safe!
"Not this time! Seth-kun gave me hope... hope even in such a place. And that will be my... our strength! Seth-kun, please! Get up! We can fight this together and escape!" Seiko yelled. The darkness meanwhile regrouped and started to converge on Seth again... but if he could snap out of it, then the darkness would just crumble at his touch!

"Hebuu!!" Aaand he went flying across the room from that hit! Good job, at least you now made him pay attention to what's going on around him. Which, when he realized who did it, made his heart skip a beat in surprised joy. "Wuh... Sei... Seiko!" ...Or so he thought, it was Seiko...? He paused halfway through getting up to his feet, realizing the oddly ethereal state of her form with his heart sinking yet again. No way... So she really is dead after all...?

What difference does that make...

...Exactly right though, what difference DOES that make, whether she's dead or alive...? I mean, she's... she's there, isn't she? Seiko didn't become one of those malevolent ghosts or... or gone, like... gone gone forever, right? Hell, she just punched him, scolded him to get his act back together and right now she's protecting him from harm...

He shook his head, rubbing his eyes and making sure they weren't deceiving him. Nope, however many he looked that is definitely Seiko herself... Maybe not in a physical body, but she is just about as real as everything else in here, not just a hallucination and not just... an apparition. "...Goddammit..." He cursed under his breath, more to himself than anything or anyone else. "...I'm apparently so bad at this even her ghost came back just to punch me in the face..."

And for some reason that thought made him chuckle a bit. Maybe he's a masochist, but don't tell him that. The young man rose up to his feet, holding his hand up in front of him as though grasping something-

FLASH!

The familiar blinding flash of white light erupted from his hand, and from there materialized the White-Tower Sword, Hakurouken, with the blade no longer pitch black and tarnished by the darkness, once again in its gleaming silvery and ghostly beauty. "I guess it doesn't matter whether she is dead or alive..." He said slowly, brandishing the blade around him and cleaving past the approaching mist of darkness like hot knife through butter. "...She's there, isn't she? She's trusting me. And I promised I'll get her and everyone else out of this place... Even if it's the last thing I'll do, I'll definitely do it! Now why don't you GET THE HELL AWAY from MY Seiko!!!"

In an act that mirrored his last attempt at 'saving' Seiko, he raised the sword over his shoulder before throwing it forward like a javelin straight at the malevolent spirit, this time aimed to pierce straight through her heart for the killing blow!

OOC: I have every intention of finishing this arc. Real life kind of just got in the way. I just didn't expect it to get in the way for almost... 4 months :X

"That's awfully bold of you, Seth-kun~" Seiko said as Seth finally got up and recovered.
"Focus, please," Hotaru sighed as the thrown sword was launched at the other child. The target sidestepped to dodge the attack, but Seiko wasn't having any of that! She disappeared briefly and reappeared to catch the sword by the hilt, then dashed back to stab the girl from behind!

"What!? What are you GUAAAHHHHHHH!"
Just as the girl turned to face her, Seiko sent the sword straight through where her heart would be! Immediately, some mists of darkness seeped out of the girl and began enveloping both of them, threatening to suck both of them into the darkness once more!
"Sorry about that, Seth-kun... please... find a way to end all of this... find a way to free us from this..." she said with a smile before the darkness --

"Not this time."
... disappeared? Because that was exactly what Sachiko was doing with it - she was taking the darkness into herself and sucking it out of both girls with an outstretched hand!
"That should do it... for now, anyway, Sachiko said as she smothered the last of the darkness in her hands and crushed it with a clenched fist.
"Are you okay, Sacchi? Doesn't that..." Hotaru began to ask.
"Yes it does. But I'm a lot more used to handling this much dark and negative energy. I'll be fine. Of course I can't keep doing that every time, but... it'll help for now."

Seiko blinked for a moment and looked at the now purified girl's spirit, back at Seth, then back at her again. "Are you going to..."
The girl shook her head. It looked like the darkness merely took hold of her and she was compelled to attack Seth as a result, so Seiko simply pulled the sword out of her chest and threw it down.
"That was... oddly anticlimactic," Seiko chuckled. "What's your name?"

"... Saki... Saki Akagiri," she replied. "What happened?..."
Sachiko frowned at that. "Ah, right, the outsider. The one who entered with another group without using the charm. Strange how that happens," she said.
"Where's everyone else?" Hotaru asked Seth and Youma. "We need to find them, and quickly! Selene's in big trouble right now, and she doesn't even know it!..."

... Great. One thing after another, it seemed.

"I wish I knew that myself honestly..." The young man answered Hotaru with unease, which is a bit of a downer after the moment of relief from danger. For now. "We were together with... er, Saito and Nanoha? Then we kind of... just got separated," He wasn't even sure how to tell her the full story, it really did just kind of happened. ...As though this place was actively trying to separate them from each other... "It was when I met Seiko actually. We've been walking around trying to find a way back to the others and... well, didn't work out so well. ...By the way, please don't mention what I said earlier to anyone else..." He added with a hint of embarrassment to Seiko.

He still has time to worry about that...

Then out of nowhere, the half-phantom walked up to Saki and held up a certain bloodied little bag, the one where she had been keeping and carrying the tongue earlier this whole time. "You said there are others who passed through here," The girl said curtly, not really too keen on showing much niceness to someone who tried to kill them just earlier, even if it wasn't really by Saki's own will. "Tell us where we can find them. Better yet, get us to them,"

"Shit... we have no idea what's happened to them then!" Hotaru groaned. "Sachi, what exactly did you glean from your fight with Tokiko-chan earlier?"
"Only a glimpse of what she had planned for your companions," Sachiko began. "When I touched the darkness that flowed out of her after punching her, I saw brief flashes of a curse being applied on someone that you know... your friend, Selene."
"I didn't feel like anything was wrong with her when we first met them... then again, I didn't remember how dead I was either," Seiko mused. "That Naho girl did say that she couldn't tell what they were doing though, and that that other ghost might be with them..."
"... She was. I remember now," Saki said. "I was to stop you from seeing them while she made her kill them with the curse she implanted in her notes. I... can take you to them."

That certainly satisfied Youma's question. But there was another issue that needed to be dealt with. "Before that, we can't just let Seiko's or Saki's spirit stay loose in this place... they'll be taken back by the darkness again," Hotaru said.
"Saki shouldn't be a problem. She was merely piggybacking with someone else at the time and she was already haunting her... so the darkness does not completely apply to her here. She has her own to deal with, and if we can weaken the dimensions here we can set her free before the Darkening reclaims her," Sachiko said. "Seiko will have a much worse time of it though, as she was not only one who participated in the spell, but was also killed here. It will only be a matter of time before it reclaims her, or worse..."
"Ehhh!? Is there anything we can do about that!? I'd really like to stay free like this if I can," Seiko whimpered.
Hotaru nodded. "There is one. Looks like that thing about Seiko-san being Seth's isn't going to be completely wrong."

Seiko looked at Seth for a moment, then back at Hotaru, then back at Seth again, then blushed. "Oh Seth-kun, I'm sorry, but my heart belongs to Naomi... don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what you said..."
"Not that. I mean you can make her your temporary Stand while we're here. Your Persona," Hotaru groaned while rubbing the bridge of her nose as if trying to massage away her impending headache due to Seiko's reaction. "It shouldn't interfere with whatever link you have with Youma-san, and you'll be somewhat protected from the Darkening that pervades this place. We'll first need a personal effect from you, Seiko-san. It doesn't even have to be completely physical - something that is on your person, incorporeal or not, should do."
Seiko frowned at that for a bit, then rummaged through her pockets before pulling out... a tube of Preparation H?
"S'all I got. I already lost my cellphone and my ID, so this is really the only thing of value that I have - Naomi gave this to me while we where trapped here..." Seiko grinned.
"... I'm not going to ask why you have Ass Cream lying around in your pockets, or why your friend Naomi-san gave it to you in the first place," Hotaru sighed and turned to Seth. "Take it from her and write your name with it on the back of your hand with your blood. It should bind her to you."

...Well he's not going to try imagine what's actually going on between Seiko and Naomi, that's for sure. "Um. ...Sure, if you say so," He said, pushing away the wary thought as he took the... tube of cream from Seiko, at the same time holding out a hand to Youma, who stared at him for a moment and gave a somewhat exasperated sigh, before taking his hand and bit on his thumb hard enough to bleed.

Which actually wasn't expected by the young man as he yelped in pain "Ow!" and quickly yanked his hand away. "Why didn't you use your sword?!" He complained, inspecting the bleeding bite mark.

"What's the difference?" The half-phantom replied as she spat a few times to the floor, before realizing the oddly worried look on the young man's face. "...Oh jeez, relax, I didn't swallow any. See?" She opened her mouth just to prove her point. "I spat it all out,"

That somewhat relieved him after a while, though whatever got him that worried he didn't quite say. Pushing the matter aside he turned his attention back to the... tube of cream (going to take a while before he gets over this), then started writing his name with it on the back of his hand with his blood.

Seto Ryouga.

...Hold on a bit. "...Seto?" The half-phantom who had been peering over his shoulder to see his writing was perplexed seeing how he spelled his name, considering, "...Wait I thought your name was..."

"...What?" Seth replied, for some reason avoiding the half-phantom's stare as he handed the tube back to Seiko. "...That's how it's really spelled,"

"But... but I thought it was... Since you always just say it like..." And... Youma was starting to get confused, pointing and glancing here and there as she pondered on this new discovery. To which Seth would then attempt to clarify, with a sigh, "Look, it was something that got stuck from way back during primary school. Because English is cool and there was a guy who was from Britian and he's... well, English. So..." He finished while scratching his head.

His explanation was met with a particularly long, odd stare from the half-phantom, which honestly felt a bit unnerving, until she spoke out loudly with a very prominent tone of scorn, "...That is the dumbest, stupidest excuse for a name change, ever, Seto,"

"Wha- oh come on! You're fine with it this whole time, why are you complaining now?!" His plea would go completely over her head as the half-phantom refused to listen to another word he says, crossing her arms and turning away from the young man, becoming completely deaf towards him.

...Well, it's small matter, really, hopefully. And he can't exactly stay here trying to convince Youma to live with it for too long, they've got other more important stuff to take care of.

"... That's actually better, ironically enough," Hotaru chuckled over Seth's apparent change in name. She'd been through a more harrowing but similar experience before, so she could completely relate to him. At the very least it was less of him replacing someone else and more him just having a more Western nickname. "Using your real name will bond you better to Seiko-san. Otherwise the normal rules of binding her to you apply."
"Screw the rules! We have money!" Seiko declared.
"... Seriously? You're making that joke now just because his real name is Seto?" Hotaru sighed. She had a feeling that Seiko was a couple of screws loose shy of being as bad as her sister.
"What joke?" Sachiko asked.
"Once we free you, I'm sure Onee-chan would gladly show you."

Meanwhile, Seiko giggled a bit while there was an obvious change in her current demeanor. First, her spirit stopped looking less blue and transparent and somewhat more corporeal, but not corporeal enough to designate her as alive by natural standards. Seth's lifeforce would flow into her, and Seiko's spiritual energy was flowing into him, binding them to each other at least for now. The markings Seth made on his arm glowed brightly on his arm before fading away.
"Whoa... I feel... different," she said. "I know I'm not alive, but... the pain of dying that's been starting to throb at me is gone! I don't feel hurt anymore!"

"You should have some new abilities too... though it would only work while we're here," Sachiko said. "I would normally say we should take some time for you to get acquainted with these powers, but time is of the essence."
Saki didn't have to be told twice. "This way," she said as she opened the door leading to the pool. It was raining, and the pool before them was murky, dirty and filled with dead bodies.
"... I didn't think it was possible to feel sick while dead," Seiko muttered as she looked away from the scene. But then other voices were heard...

Selene-san something is very wrong here if you're hearing and seeing things we can't...
Are you allright, Selene? The rest of us didn't hear it either. Look, maybe we should rest up a bit, I think this place is starting to get to you...
No, please stop! Something evil is at work here!...
It is as I suspected, another one of them...


"It's coming from behind us!" Seiko gasped. "Isn't that the others!? We just came from there!"
"We have to go here first. If we stayed, we would only hear the voices and be unable to help..." Saki explained.
"She's right. To properly shift dimensions we need to enter a room where it can shift. This is one of them," Sachiko confirmed as she moved to open the door again, but...
"The hell? It's stuck!" she gasped.

"Hai hon't het hoo hell her..."

From the middle of the pool was a little ghost girl, but she was missing half of her head!

"Tokiko!" Sachiko growled. "This is bad... this is her domain!"
"This isn't going to be easy, is it?" Hotaru said as she readied herself for battle!

"Hai hon't het hoo... Hai... I... I won't let you help them! You'll all die here!"

With that, the waters started to swirl and envelop her in a waterspout before breaking apart to reveal that she'd changed into something more befitting of her status...

"All you can do is just listen to them killing each other on the other side while I tear all of you apart! Glacial Blast!" the Dullahan-transformed Tokiko yelled before unleashing a hailstorm of ice at the group!

"Oh, so she gets to bond with you better with your real name and I get a fake one," Despite the half-phantom's determination to completely ignore the young man's words she couldn't help but lash out anyway in the most poisonously guilt-tripping tone she could muster. "I see how it is,"

"Wha- but... But it's just a name...!" Of course Seth... Seto? ...Let's stick woth Seth until some time when it's appropriate. In any case he was understandably exasperated. "It's not like anything's going to change, besides it's only for this ti-"

"I'm sorry, who are you? I don't know any SETO!" ...She really does take the issue with the name quite seriously, especially when she does consider herself to be the one person closest to him, and not just in the sense of a servant bounded by a contract.

At the very least they still have some sense left to remember they have more important stuff to take care of, even if they did kept bickering all the way until- "...Selene, what?" The young man cut his arguments with Youma short to turn back at the source of the voice... from where they just came from?

"Hey, don't look away when I'm talking to you-!"

"No, will you drop it already and listen?!" The young man snapped at the half-phantom before pointing back to where they just came from "They're close, can't you hear them?" Well, close in a sense but they're still unreachable from this dimension... It was honestly very unnerving for something to be so close yet so far.

Part of him doesn't quite want to think about what they could find at the other side, considering the pool of dead bodies...

As he waited in anticipation for Sachiko to reopen the door, only to feel his stomach do a backflip when it turns out they're locked out from the room they had only just come from earlier. Never mind that, but it's the work of yet another one of the ghosts lingering here!

Except this time it looks like they're going to have a bit more trouble than they did with Saki. Not good. "Guh... I guess we can't just run away..." Not exactly his style but he really doesn't feel like getting into fights while still being stuck in this world. "Though I guess this would be a good time to test out your new powers?" He said to Seiko, at the very least feeling solace in the fact that they do have a bit of extra firepower on their side, including Hotaru and Sachiko too.

And then the Persona attacked! "Okay, show her what you can do!" For the moment he was readying himself for a follow-up attack after Seiko had done the defending. Then he realized something a bit too important that he should've thought about earlier. "...Wait, what CAN you do?!"

A silly oversight. Something the half-phantom just won't forgive.

CRASH!!!

She was more than quick to react to the attack, already leaping forward and tearing through the storm of icicles with her swords, reducing them to nothing but harmless fragments of ice! "This is not the time to be fooling around, dammit!" The girl snapped angrily at Seth, while still keeping an eye on Tokiko's next move. She continued, however this time directed to Seiko. "You there. If you're going to be his servant then I don't want to see you let him have even the slightest scratch on him. Or else,"

Seems like she's actually really serious about the contract thing. And from the momentary glare she gave to Seiko one could only imagine what she would do if her expectaions were not met. Regardless, with her attention back to Tokiko, the half-phantom sheathed one of her sword only to pull out...

...The small bloodied bag. "I think you lost something,"

"Hey, I have no intention of letting him get hurt!" Seiko retorted as she too parried the ice shards from Seth. "I mean, I don't really know what I can do, but... Dammit I'll try my best anyway!"
Hotaru and Sachiko didn't have much trouble parrying it either, but Saki didn't fare too well. She was frozen from the attack and couldn't move! "You're going to have to figure out what you have if we're to get out of here!" Hotaru yelled.

It was then that Youma revealed the tongue bag at Tokiko. The ghost saw it for a moment but then merely growled louder and became more feral!
"That's no good! She's too far gone to reason with right now! We have to knock some sense into her first!" Sachiko said.
"Easier said than done!" Seiko whimpered as she raised a hand at Tokiko. "I wish I had something to-"

KRAKBOOM!

Suddenly a bolt of lightning emerged from the sky, striking Tokiko and stunning her!
"... That's not me, is it?"
"It is! It's Mazio!" Hotaru gasped. "It's a lightning attack!"
"Really? Does that make me some kind of Railgun then!?"
"... I wouldn't go that far."

Either way, Tokiko seemed to be heavily stunned by the attack, leaving her open to anything that they threw at her!

Oho, jackpot, they found the spirit they're supposed to appease~ Thought she wasn't expecting for it to be this violent that they had to subdue it. Can't be too hard, the half-phantom's got full confidence in herself, she'll show that Seiko who's the bett-

BOOM!!!

...

She just shot a lightning bolt out of her hand. Even Youma herself was stunned by it but for a completely different reason. She stared at Seiko for a moment with her mouth agape before turning to Seth...o, with puppy eyes. "...Seeeeeeeeth, I want thaaaat, can I have one too-"

"No,"

She's sad.

But in any case, this is a chance so don't lose it! "Nice job by the way!" The young man said with a thumbs up before immediately darting forward before Tokiko would recover, aiming to grab and twist her arms behind her back before pinning her to the floor!

Finally he's got the chance to actually use his herculean strength.

"Wait, Seth-kun! What are you-"

It worked! With Tokiko stunned, Seth was able to grab her arms behind her back and pin her to the -

... Floor?

There was one problem with this attack, that being that Tokiko was pretty much floating in the air in the middle of the pool. That would mean that Seth was trying to drown her instead.

To be fair, it was kind of dark, and the pool was very murky, so it did look like a floor, but it was enough to make Seiko facepalm.
"He... knows how to swim, right?" she worriedly asked as Seth dove under the murky corpse-ridden water with his victim.
"This is bad! Isn't there a drain somewhere!?" Hotaru gasped.
"No! If you drain it now with Seth in there he'll get sucked in and die!" Sachiko said.
"How do you know that?"
"I set it up that way last time. That scenario would have killed that pigtail girl if blondie didn't dare dive in and save her," she said.
"Blondie... wait, Kishinuma and Class Rep!?" Seiko gasped.
"Remember, this whole place was my idea!" the former mistress of Heavenly host said as she cracked the ice that held Saki in place and broke it.
"They don't know that yet!" Hotaru said. "We need to get Seth-kun out of there!"

Tokiko was still dazed though, so Seth had a chance to do something first before deciding whether to keep her there or get out...

...Well um. S-sure, let's go with that explanation as to why he immediately thought the pool was a floor. Though he clearly wasn't impressing anyone with that. "...You know what, I changed my mind, you can have the idiot instead,"

Even his own servant was in in disdain!

...But still, dear god is it even safe being in there? And not just from the danger of drowning either, I mean look at that, it's a pool filled to the brim with rotting corpses. That can't be good for anyone's health. "Oh god... why did you have to go in so recklessly..." The half-phantom said worriedly as she kneeled down at the edge of the pool, trying and somewhat failing to find the submerged two through the murky water. She's not worried about him drowning because he certainly can swim but... Seriously come on, that's disgusting...!

...

Where is he...?

...

...Seth?

Seeeth?

Seee-


Splash!

"YEEEKK!!"

The half-phantom screamed her lungs out in fright as all of a sudden a creature covered in dark murky water just broke through the water surface right in front of her! She was THIS CLOSE to actually beheading the creature with her sword, before realizing soon enough that it was "...SETH GODDAMMIT DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!!!"

Not that he could answer properly just yet because he was too busy trying to catch his breath, at the same time doing his best not to get any of the dirty water into his throat. Futile attempt, as he couhed violently from the unpleasant taste. "Gah-! H-hey, help me with her why don't you?!"

His idea changed when he realized in horror that the floor wasn't actually the floor, turning from subduing Tokiko to saving her from drowning.

...Would that count as subduing her...? I mean it sounded a bit like some ancient torture method, drowning someone to get them to calm down...

It did seem like the attack had some effect, as Tokiko didn't come up for air. Though that didn't convince Sachiko that they were done.
"... You do realize she's dead and that air is like the last thing she needs, right?" Sachiko sighed as Saki moved to pull Seth out of the water.

Sure enough, as soon as they got back on land, an even angrier Tokiko broke from the water and floated again in the air!
"RRAAAAAGH! I WON'T FORGIVE SUCH INSOLENCE!" she yelled.

And then she smiled.

It was an Evil Smile.

She then followed up the attack with another ice attack, but it wasn't shards of ice being launched at them - it was Bufudyne!

...She's already dead?

As Seth was helped back onto dry land the pool erupted and Tokiko came out, once again at full strength and far worse wrath.

...Oh jeez, you're right, she is already dead isn't she... "Argh, dammit! Get up already and stop fooling around this time!" The half-phantom was the first to get back to being combat ready since she was completely unwilling to go anywhere near Seth. "Don't make half-hearted attacks at her just because she's-"

The half-phantom froze as her eyes was back onto Tokiko. The strange, Evil Smile of hers seemed to make her rooted on the spot, shuddering from the coldness of it. In fact it was getting quite cold...

Oh jeez, it's actually freezing-

CRASH!!!

There was a sudden eruption of gigantic ice crystals coming from the ground and striking the half-phantom, catching her completely by surprise! A shocked yelp followed by searing pain as the ice shards tore through her flesh, and even as she tried to leap back from being impaled right through- "Huaa-!" The girl slipped on what seemed to be a layer of... ice? The wet floor had frozen over! "Aagh... Dammit... you-"

She turned and got a full sight of something she wished she hadn't seen. Seth Ryouga, whom had received the same attack from Tokiko, did not fare quite as well in getting out of danger. There were broken ice shards here and there, but those that did not get broken had managed to stab through the young man's defending hands, leg and other parts of his body. Now, more often than not he of all people could have easily been able to shrug off that kind of injuries, but in this case...

Parts of his bodies are actually being frozen over, encased in ice that also had a hue of red from his blood. It doesn't seem like he could even move despite his strength, and any attempt to do so was giving him a terrible amount of pain...

It would seem that she and Sachiko were spared the debilitation of feeling fear thanks to Tokiko's Evil Smile ability, so they were still able to move. With that, Sachiko moved forward to punch Tokiko rapidly in the chest, causing her to stagger violently from the assault.
But there were other things to worry about. "Hey! What are you two doing just standing there!?" Hotaru asked regarding Seth and Youma. Seiko in the meantime was hysterical, calling out for Seth and shaking him out of whatever stupor he was caught in (aside from being frozen in place anyway).
"It's no use! They're caught in a fear spell!" Sachiko said. "If the fear gets to them too much, they may not be able to break out of it!"

"... That's it?"
Saki was still with them. With a wave of her arm, she snapped her fingers...
"... Patra."

A wave of light enveloped both Seth and Seiko, and the sound of something breaking could be heard before both the ice and his fear was removed.
"I am no stranger to how fear works. But I can only help one," she said. That meant that Youma was still caught under the spell of Fear.
"Mou! Seth-kun, you idiot! Stop messing around!" she cried out as she slapped Seth to get him back to his senses.
"Uh, guys? She's still not going to stop you know!" Hotaru sighed.

Indeed, Tokiko raised her hand once more to unleash another hail of ice in the form of Bufudyne, this time at Saki. The spell connected, and the helpful spirit was frozen once more. And then she... seemed to be charging herself up for something?
"Seth-kun! What should I do?" Seiko asked. She wasn't sure what to do since Tokiko seemed to be preparing herself to unleash a powerful attack... but was this the right time to strike back?
