The spider's eyes seemed to glitter - like the eyes of an opportunistic beast - Nishi noted, before making a gesture that could be taken as a nodding head. "That would be-" it began to squeak, but was disrupted as the giant white beast suddenly threw himself off from the ground, a startled expression marring his face amused just moments ago. Leaping into the air, its piercing eyes widening with surprise, Nishibyakko almost fell into the water at the sudden movement. Where he lay was a gleaming arrow, sharpened and deadly, embedded halfway into the earth. No human could do that, not with how deep it had sunk into the hardened ground.
All around Kiyoko the spiders hissed and screeched, crowding around the miko as if to protect her, turning to look in all direction at the source of what might threaten the priestess who had blessed them. They bared their fangs and clicked together as one to sound like a singular creature - but the god knew that wasn't going to frighten whoever was targeting them.
He sniffed the air. It was like the smell of a mountain breeze - he would know, he used to govern over mountains. It was a familiar smell he would found himself surrounded by the closer he climbed mountains. Distinct from the oni, and only present within the forests. What he was most disturbed by was the lack of sound... he had not heard anything when that arrow had been fired until mere seconds before hitting its would-be target.
"Watch out!"

Just as he heard a bone-chilling screech, the god pounced forward, body-slamming into the priestess at the same time as his fur became human flesh and bone, thus becoming a smaller target for the winged shadow, knocking the priestess off balance as well as sending some of the spiders that had gathered around her rolling away into safety - not including those that jumped and scuttled out of the way, only to run deeper into the woods where they could be away from danger but also keep an eye on this new savior of theirs.
Nishibyakko found himself pinning the girl down with his own body, but he didn't have to worry about that now. The creature that had swooped at them had crashed, but its appearance was also met with a hail of arrows that rained right where they had been mere moments ago.
Standing on its talons, the bird's wings cracked as they folded inwards, shifting into a form appropriate for a forest like this - where it could play cat and mouse all it liked, its deadly bow in hand.
