Honestly, Hitomi was impressed with how quickly the others got up and resolved to fight. Even in fight or flight situations, she'd seen many people hesitate. While she was covered in snow and bleeding a little, she couldn't let them take this thing on alone. She shook the snow off, grabbed an arm with her other and pulled. With an audible click followed by the sound of a sword unsheathing, Hitomi's prosthetic blade was free. She left her other arm on, just in case, and prepped for a tough fight.
The Tinder Wolf looked at the woman with the scythe harshly. For one long moment it squared off with her. The look in it's eyes was the one of an experienced hunter. This wasn't the first combatant it would kill, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. Rather than approaching, it opened it's three mouths. There was a spark and blast of fire followed. It seemed to use the thin space of the corridor to it's advantage here.
In the meantime, Hitomi had already run by the woman. As the fire ball came, she slid into the snow, pulling her body back as the fireball went over her. She felt the heat singe her body and melt the snow and ice around her, yet she continued. She sprung into the air once more once she was clear and slashed at the wolf. A large gash appeared across it's face and it howled in fury.
In response the wolf swiped at her heavily with it's claws. While Hitomi rose her blade to defend herself, the force of the attack alone sent her flying across the entrance, tumbling heavily in the melted snow. Still, she pushed the pain aside and rolled into a crouch, ready for whatever else it threw at her.
