Hinamori noticed Hitsugaya take the hit, and it broke her concentration for just a moment. Her instinctive reaction was to rush out to him, save him, but she held herself still, fingers outstretched and trembling, and forced herself to finish the incantation. Gray, semi-transparent walls of kidou rose around the unconscious boy, forming a box that would protect from the sky and underneath as wall as all four sides. Only someone with immense spiritual power (or someone as skilled at kidou as she) would be able to break it.
That done, Hinamori turned toward the other two. She took a moment to survey the scene. There was no sense in entering a fight where she was more likely to hinder Hitsugaya than hinder him. She remembered wryly that their powers didn't play well with each other, her fire against his ice. Nonetheless, they had the advantage—two against one—and there was no reason not to use it.
Kidou was her best bet, and her strongest skill anyway. But how to do it? She didn't want to use a spell that would trip Hitsugaya up as well. She thought that perhaps if she could get behind Frau, she would have a clear shot for Hōrin or Geki. The position would leave her vulnerable to attack, so she drew her sword, even as she continued analyzing. If Frau did turn for her, though, it would put Hitsugaya at his back, which was even more dangerous for him.
Either way, spreading out would give them more room to work with. Hinamori shunpoed around to the other side of the battling pair, not too close, and began preparing Hōrin.
