"I don't want to end up failing her like..." The words trailed off into a whisper as Hokuto threw up again.
"You can't even... you're better off... I don't CARE what you want," Momo said to Hokuto. The vice captain looked down at the body in her arms, her voice quiet and wavering. "A shinigami's primary duty is to protect humanity by maintaining the balance and stopping spiritual threats. Protect the humans. A captain and a vice captain are among the strongest of the shinigami and even then... I... I can't pro--"
Momo's head snapped up. "GET BACK TO YOUR ROOM WHERE YOU WON'T NEED ME! Hadou #1: Shou," the shinigami said, casting the spell out of frustration. There wasn't much reiatsu left in the vice captain so instead of the unseen force hitting Hokuto squarely enough to knock her down, it only managed the equivalent of a half-hearted shove backwards.
Momo's went wide with the realization that she'd just cast a destructive spell on Hokuto mere moments before she coughed up blood and doubled over the body on her arms. It was the most basic spell, but without the incantation, here it took a toll on her. Momo hated so much right then, even herself, and she stayed keeled over the body, a combination of wracking sobs and hoarse, painful coughs coming from her. She was too dizzy to sit up, too unfocused to even notice the blood dripping from her ear - a clear sign she'd overused her reiatsu.
