“Really? You will?” Genya smiled; he hated to be indebted to others, but, that was a concern for later. “How–?”
He was cut off by the sudden appearance of– something. What was that? An eye, just floating there? Genya tensed, but scuttled backwards regardless. He was both curious and concerned about what he was about to witness.
This woman had appeared human, but was he wrong? This island was full of possibilities and dangerous individuals, which was part of the reason for his current predicament.
“What exactly are you going to do?”
“ well, worry not. it’s quite simple. ” after all, this is something that can be done in her sleep, at this point. picking her sleeve out of the way, she thrust an arm into the rift the moment she opened another one in the water itself.
even if the kappa has moved around within the water of where she estimated it would go, it would still be close enough. truly enough, with a swipe of her arms through the water, her hands met a slippery, slimy wrist. oh, how lucky.
of course, there was some resistance, but yukari’s reflexes were quick. as the kappa flinches away from her, her hands shift – she feels the wooden surface of the sword. “ aha, looks like i found it. ”
“ here we go. ” while the kappa was distracted, it’s simple to shift her grip to the sword, then yank.
if she were a human, it would be pointless to get into a tug of war with a kappa; alas, she isn’t. indeed, it made a splash as she pulled her arm free, but it was not without spoils: the sword, safely retrieved, the rift closing after it was freed. it may have gotten her sleeves a bit more damp than anticipated, but it was nothing that couldn’t be dried.
