The White Star Chronicles IX:Yaketsukuyōna's Truth

They ran through the tree-laden landscape as fast as their legs would carry them, not stopping, even to look back. Gale wondered how Rakurai was doing agaist the two Nargacugas, or if he was still alive. The thought of his death was quickly deleted from her thoughts, however, when she remembered that he wielded immense supernatural power,and that someone who seemed so world-weary could be felled so easily. She looked to her left.Shinji and Jinsoku were running alongside her. Shinji noticed Gale looking at her and gave her the thumbs-up. Gale turned to her right. Mizu was there, slightly ahead of her. The other hunter were a little slower that them, thier armour clearly more heavy and not really designed for super-speed running.

The entire group stopped at the sound of a feral growl, followed by several violent zapping sounds-Rakurai was clearly fine. gale stopped worrying, siganling to the group to start running again.
