Finally. A barrier. He didn't actually begrudge the time it took for Hinamori to get it up -- stronger spells took a bit longer -- but seconds were an eternity in a battle. At least they didn't have to worry as much about the human anymore.
He kept a thread of awareness on Hinamori's movements, but most of his focus remained on his own fight. Frau was strong this way. Not the brightest, but tenacity could make up for a lot.
He parried the scythe with Hyourinmaru, and noted out of the corner of his eye that this time the claws were coming for him. Considering what they'd seemed to do to the human, taking that hit was out of the question.
Pushing off the scythe, he spun mostly out of the way of the claws; they still managed to tear a few light gashes into his side, and broke through the tip of a wing again as he moved. Hitsugaya's teeth gritted at the burning sensation, but still brought Hyourinmaru around for another strike -- and it was possible that Frau's legs would be momentarily rooted to the ground when his tail struck him before the spin was over.
