Ira drew in a deep breath and spread her arms, starting to spin and twist like a ballet dancer without a stage. As she danced, inhumanly graceful, her eyes turned blue and fire rose in a circle around her and spun with her, green at the base, blue in the middle, and white at the top. Yoruichi added a second ring of fire outside the first, and Ira started breathing rings of smoke and fire that hovered, transforming into phoenixes and soaring joyfully amongst the flames. A trio of flame wolves joined the spectacle, leaping and wrestling playfully. All of this happened in the security of Ira's backyard, rising no higher than the fence's height. If anyone had seen it, they might have called it beautiful; the dancing thirteen-year-old demon, the different colors of the fire, the flame animals, and beyond it all, the silhouette of Yoruichi playing happily with a fourth flame wolf, a cub.
