Even as she pushed her senses across the gauntlet, Sakura could feel the strength of the Weaver. But she managed to find a weak spot, and with a little difficulty, peeked into the Spirit world. And this what Sakura found there. The Building itself had no real representation in the Spirit World. There were no walls here, just endless lines of pattern spiders as far as the eye can see, weaving their way across the city. There is something else here too, but Sakura isn't quite sure what it is yet. They seem to flit in and out of her line of sight too quick for her to get a good view of them.

Nothing ventured nothing gained they say. And what were a few pattern spiders....if they were about. A quick prayer to Inari and she slipped into the web infested Umbra, taking her true form the minute she entered that other realm.
A fox was small, fast and traveling would be easier this way. Her tails twitched ever so slightly as she looked about to get her bearings. Obviously relying on her ability to see unbalances wouldn't work to well here, but she should be able to sense and find the positive Chi from the wolf, in a place so full on Yin, the positive Yang would hopefully be a beacon. And since they hadn't gotten too far from the holding cell, should make the task more easy.

Sakura shifts to her breed form and concentrates and locating the wolf's positive energy. She has done this countless times before, and it almost comes naturally by now. But although she concentrates all her perceptions on finding the wolf, she can almost see them once more. They lurk quietly, as if stalking her, watching her every moce, and waiting for the right moment to strike.

She was curious as what those shifting forms were, curious enough that she started in the direction of the wolf, and then shifted her senses once more to look at the area for any imbalances. Maybe that would show her what was lurking on the fringes of her senses. What she felt made her worry and quicken her Pace. Making some running jumps, she used a bit of Gnosis to cover the distance, hoping to jump into the cell before the Yang Spirits could attack.

As Sakura made her way towards where she felt the wolf's Chi, the shadows found their moment to attack. They lashed out at her, ripping through her fur and rending flesh. She still couldn't see what they were, they were moving way too fast and she wasn't about to stop to take a more proper look. She could hear their relentless buzzing as they cut through her hide like razors, but still she didn't look back. She reached the cell, and immediately stepped sideways. Only then did she realise how hurt she actually was. But she didn't have time to dwell on it even then, because she was staring into the face of a very angry black wolf.

By the silver Lady that hurt! She gave a small whimper of pain, sometimes she wished that the Emerald mother hadn't been so tired when she had made them. The quick healing her fellow Shifters had would be very helpful. But, alas they had not received that gift.
She was about to pick herself up from the floor when she looked up to see the wolf. She made herself small and as nonthreatening as she could, wile she did a quick scan of the room. Cameras would be a bad thing...very bad thing.

The black wolf was a fine looking specimen, anyone in the wolf world could see her breeding, however she was also very angry, the rage spilled from her like a waterfall. And who could blame her, she had been taken from her home from the fresh air of the green forests and stuck in a room of white acrid stench and darkness in the shadow world.
Middle Born caught the scent of the ‘fox’ and that made her yet more angry, for she knew fox smell but this was more, more than a fox. Was it just another two legs trick, the wolf had , had more than enough of them, more than enough of their games. She bared her teeth the smell of blood also adding to the rage.
The black wolf seemed to grow in size not because she shifted but rather because her heckles rose along with her anger.
Whatever it was, must be stupid, to come in here through the shadow, to come in here and become caged. And if they were here to torture her again, then Middle born would kill them.
Of course the wolf did not change, she never changed never shifted, she knew about the veil…
With that the black wolf started to circle the small fox, teeth bared dripping saliva on the floor as she did. After all however much she hated it, this was after all the territory of this wolf.

There is no camera in the actual room, although there is one watching the enormous glass window. For now, the fox is hidden from its view. There is a single reinforced door that leads outside, and apart from that, there's not really much to look at. The room is nothing much more than a white bare cell.

She almost breathed a sigh of relief, til she noticed the wolf was circling her. She shifted, hoping it would settle the other, if a bit. Once in her Homid form She scooted as close to the wall under the window.
"Easy...I am a friend..." Oh please let this be a friendly wolf. Grabbing the mirror from where she had stashed it. "I brought this...we can slip away. But there is Yang Spirits." She thought quickly for the word 'Bane spirits' lurking in the Umbra. I can't fight, not now, not well." As she spoke she showed the wolf the mirror, with that they could slip into the umbra...though she would then have to slip out of the facility without Akio seeing her. The injuries might be a bit difficult to explain.

Middle Born, subject 21 did not stop circling the silly fox thing even when it became human, rather she snarled, trying to decide if this was just something else the two legs wanted to play with.
”Stupid. ”she snarled, “ Stupid, it not easy to get out, bad place, this is a bad place. We not get out in the Shadow. Now you trapped like Middle born. Like subject 21.”
The wolf continued to circle the woman, “ You even more stupid show your two legs skin”
“ Want to get out but need to find safe way, I not silly. You have pack? Do foxes have pack?”

She really wanted to pound her head against a wall, stubborn wolf. As if she could slip back out, after all she had barely made it in. Well, she hadn't made it this far with out taking chances. Though this time she would have to run all the way, though how she would explain this to Akio....
Setting the mirror on the floor she shifted down to her fox form she gave a sniff of disdain, make if the poked the wolf a bit. "If I...a mere fox, not blessed with Gaia's gift of healing can make it through, then surely you one of Gaia's chosen can." It was dangerous, the Wolf's rage was already high, but maybe if she poked her pride a bit.
"But I can run off, see if I can find any wolves...even though this is a rather big city. I can leave the mirror here, in case you decide the humans hospitality no longer entertains you."

The wolf shook her head again, “You are stupid and lucky maybe, this is not place to play silly fox games.” The wolf was obviously not pleased or impressed with being met with another shifter, even if it was one of a supposed ‘special breed’.
“We need find real way out, Shadow World is too dangerous. Even ravens not come to talk to me…that how bad. You silly fox, now you trapped. You leave …you die. I not have to feel bad, I told you.”
You want to find a way out we find it in this world.”

"Well if the gauntlet is too hard for you, I have another idea." Once more she shifted to her homid form and looked about, seeing the glass window she smirked. Shifting to beast speech, she looked at the wolf. "As soon as my wanna be boyfriend opens that door." and she nodded to the door. "Knock him out. Sound good? No traveling in the Umbra."
She waited for the wolf's thoughts, before standing up.

“You think wolf silly, you think wolf stupid, this wolf clever, this wolf had had to suffer being locked up, but the reason is this wolf knows that getting out is dangerous, and I am not going to break the rules by being other shape, I am not stupid…”
The wolf paused and scratched herself in the view of the camera, she behaved in the way she always had done, she did not want to risk the veil and the litany.
“Can you get out without him seeing you and get wolves?, I not change here and I know there is many people with ….guns…you get out make pups with the man you think boyfriend then maybe you come back.”
She looked at the fox, “I would rather rot here than risk my tribe and my race.”

To say the wolf was getting on her nerves would be a gross understatement. "Fine..." As she peeked over the edge of the mirror to see if Akio was still there. "I will get him to let me out, then go get help. I do hope that is good enough for you. And before you counter, he already showed you to me...I will merely say I was curious."
Then before she cold say ya or nay she stood up and pounded on the window.
