[The goal is for them to protect each other, though that's not always how things shake out. Like him getting nailed by the shards. It was an oversight he neglected to predict, and it cost him. But he can't let something similar happen to Hiyori - she's far too delicate and precious, especially in her current form. If he'd had his way, he never would've let her around anything so dangerous as these yetis. Because he's afraid of exactly what happens-- her becoming cornered by them.
As she's pinned down by the sudden snowfall, his flight picks up speed as panic sets in, breath coming in broken gasps as he works to get there in time.
Just as the pair of monsters are about to reach her, he dives between them with a spinning slash, catching them in the sides of their faces and sending them flailing backwards with screams as their massive hands cover their new wounds. Yato immediate drops into the snow pile,thrusting an arm into the cold and scooping Hiyori up under one arm, swiftly kicking off to escape their predicament.
Once a safe distance away, he drops her on the ground and immediately dives back into the fray, furiously plunging his sword into the back of one yeti and sending it sprawling. Resting there for a moment on its downed form while his breath comes in heavy gasps, he has to take a moment to refocus his energy into a blade. He needs to finish this, and quickly...
The other yeti is next as it turns towards him, earning it a stab through the chest as Yato launches himself with everything he has. The creature goes over backwards with a cry, taking him with it. Thankfully it doesn't recover, allowing him to rest.]
Haa... Hah...
[His breath comes in short gasps as he crumples into a heap, one hand coming up to grab at his shoulder due to the searing pain in his back. He really cut it close this time...]
HAHAHA...
