As she saw Gurak die, one of the first good ideas she'd had in a lifetime came to mind. She grabbed for the bamboo part of the scythe as the toad fell, hopefully shaking off the dead body of the toad in the process and receiving an interesting new weapon. As Kunai flew around them, she would grab Satoshi's hand and pulled them both north; if she had the scythe she'd grip it with all of her strength.

None of the kunai were hitting them at the moment, but Rena wouldn't test her luck. She'd strengthen her grip on Satoshi and barrel forwards at full speed, trying to show him the urgency of the situation they were in. The way these kunai were being thrown meant that the person had no intent of hitting them unless they went off the desired course, which was clearly north. Rena tried thinking of an exit strategy but there was nothing they could do other than run in the direction that whoever was attacking them clearly wanted them to go north.

Gurak's death did not hit her yet. At that time her only thought was self defence and she saw a weapon she could have used to those ends. She pushed the scene out of her mind and focused on keeping Satoshi alive. Her heart hammered in her chest as the excitement of the battlefield began to infect her. Her body was full of fear, but that just made her reaction time better.

When she could, she'd deflect a kunai with blood manipulation, but only if it was headed for Satoshi. She hardened the blood over her own wounds. Even if they were deep she knew that it was less dangerous since she had no chance of bleeding out, but Satoshi was different.

By the time they had been running for five minutes, hopefully the only major wounds would have been inflicted upon her and Satoshi's wounds would be only minor or nonexistent. She felt the ground underneath her give way as they fell into pitch black darkness. Her grip on the scythe (if she had it) would be tight as she wove hand signs for the Floating Blood Foothold technique. She felt winded as her back slammed into it and she could hear it crack, but at least she hadn't hit the floor. If Satoshi also hit it, it would most likely break, and they'd suffer however much damage from the fall to come.

After hitting whatever they were meant to, she'd stand; the darkness surrounded her. "Satoshi?!" She'd feverently glance around despite her lack of sight. "Satoshi, are you all right?" She kept her voice low in case the enemy was also in range.
