Akiha had just been turning to go back inside when Subaru rushed to Katina and tore the chain collar off her. The collar hadn't even been in Akiha's thoughts until then, but to see something of hers destroyed like that by someone else... If anyone had the right to tear it off Katina, it was hers.

Reflexively, Akiha's eyes bore into Subaru as her hair flashed vermilion again. Her power, the unseen, unbreakable strands wrapped about Subaru as Akiha restrained her. The cold was so biting as it leeched the woman's heat, that it came close to making it feel like her target would burst into flame at any second.

Kill...

But it was only for a few seconds before Akiha realized what she was doing. She visibly shook her herself, her non-bleeding hand coming up to her temple, then she turned away. Suddenly, the strands were gone and Akiha's hair returned to black before she slammed the back door of the mansion behind her.
