Raika's nose wrinkles, her nostrils flaring, as more and more people begin to converge on the giant blue and black cat-like creature that seems to be made entirely of flames. It started with only Sero, which had made Raika eager to join in to perhaps help him by distracting the bijuu, so that at least he wouldn't be as likely to be hurt by the powerful creature. But then more people show up, and she catches their scent on the wind as they rush past her location towards the Nibi, who is in view despite Raika being almost a kilometer away from the gigantic thing. She can smell Raphael's scent as he closes in on the great cat, and her eyebrows furrow as another scent enters soon after, but it's only a single, quick whiff of an unfamiliar scent, but it wasn't the scent of anything like she'd ever smelled on earth. A huge bird rockets past her on its way towards the giant cat, and she leaps upwards to jump onto a rooftop, getting herself a better view as the battle rages many hundreds of meters away. Although she can't actually see the details of the fight itself, she can see that the combat is involving some powerful people, and she wonders for a moment if she, as the Ryuutei clan head, should involve herself more directly in the combat.
After reaching the roof, she catches another, much more familiar scent; she knew him as Blitz, and she was seeing him more often these days, and so she runs over to where he's standing, letting him catch sight of her before she reaches him so he won't be quite so startled by her approaching him. She unseals her Kabutowari sword when she sees that he has Samehada out and prepared, standing next to him with her axe resting in her right hand, the haft of it on her shoulder, while the attached hammer is in her left hand down at her side. With his head down, he already looks defeated, but he hasn't even gone into the fight yet. That said, neither had she. Despite this, she growls to him a bit, catching his attention as she bares her teeth, letting him see that she's prepared for battle already.
"Get your sword up already. There's at least two of our fellow swordsmen already out there, taking on the challenge. They expect us to be there, too!"
She twirls the axe off her shoulder, showing off how skilled she is with the handling of it by twisting it around and around, spinning it around her back and her front with enough grace to miss even nicking herself with the axe blade before catching it squarely in the palm of her right hand.
"Don't tell me the wielder of the deadly Samehada is afraid of a little kitty cat. Let's freeze it where it is and take it down for Kirigakure!"
Raika stares at him; she couldn't admit, even to herself, that she was worried that they might not be strong enough to fight the bijuu with all those others already out there and trying so hard to take on the Nibi and having a hard time with it, but she needed to have at least more than one person swinging into battle with her. If she went into the fight alone, she'd become an immediate target, and if she became a target, then rushing in would have been for nothing, or worse, would get her killed when her clan still needed its leader. Regardless of her worries, her eyes still said she was ready to go in and start swinging.
