>You dash in, as Meira takes a low, wide stance, her weapon held near her waist with both hands, blade outward at an angle. Death wafts in the air around her, you swear you can almost detect the scent of flowers.

>You slash toward her with Hakurouken. In theory, this should force her to either move, or dedicate her sword to deflecting your attack. You suppose that the latter happens, but she moves with such speed that it simply isn't natural, easily deflecting your sword!

> Inventory
> Skills

>Your inventory contains:
>Green Dress
>A dress heavy enough to keep you warm, and light enough to allow you freedom of movement.
>Black Hairband
>It has a cute ribbon!
>Roukanken
>A katana forged by youkai, designed specifically to affect spirits and other intangible things.
>Hakurouken
>A wakazashi that has passed through your family for generations; it can cut through confusion.
>Pruning Scissors
>For clipping and trimming plants.
>52☼
>This is 52☼
>Wooden Box
>It contained several gifts from the oni you defeated
>Aged Scroll
>A scroll depicting a sword technique of some kind. Very valuable!
>Sapphire x3
>A valuable jewel
>Carnelian x3
>A precious gem.
>Your Skills are:
>Konpaku School
>An discipline of swordplay to seeking the truth through cutting away the unnecessary, drawing fully upon the weapons passed down to its lone practitioner.
>Threshold Dweller
>Your art and your nature has allowed you to attune your senses to detect death as a presence. You are sensitive to the emanations of graveyards; even those that are not haunted; the touch of  death within bones, and so on. This pertains mostly to death with beings such as humans and youkai, though sufficiently advanced animals will result in the same.
>The Noble Art
>You may apply you blade as an element of danmaku, using it to subdue rather than harm.
>Faultless Guardian
>By placing one of your blades on your shadow, you pin yourself to that location until you remove the blade. No one else can move you; you may be beat and battered and lose your life, but until you remove the blade, you will not be moved. It is said that those who perish under this technique will haunt the area until eternity, but this has never been tested.
>Companion
>Through focus and skill, you may pass one of your swords to your ghost half and infuse it with enough of yourself to take a more human shape and briefly support you with the blade. Its actions are limited, and you are unable to employ any other techniques due to the concentration this requires.
>Sunder
>Your greatest technique; with proper concentration and focus, you may cleave immaterial and conceptual things; truth from discord, spring from winter.  However, this must be prepared; smaller things may require a full duel to achieve proper focus; larger things may take hours to months of meditation and preparation.
>Masterful Gardening
>Your is a green thumb, and you are exceptionally skilled in caring for plants and trees of all kinds.
>Exceptional Sprinting
>Not many people can sprint like you can; a necessary on a hectic day in Hakugyokurou!
>Adequate Chefwork
>Ghosts tend to enjoy fine foods, and you do you best to provide; you are skilled in cooking on your own and working with a team of chefs.
