A busy tired Shrine Maiden [Action]

[nekomikoreimu]

[It was the end of a long night for Reimu as she slowly flew back towards her shrine. She spent all night making sure no one tried to cause trouble. However, it wasn't the all nighters and little sleep she has had for the last few days that has her tired.

Ever since she encountered Nue, she was doubting herself. Why didn't she just seal the rampaging Nue? She could undo the seal after the event was over. Why did she hesitate?]

Sigh... why was I so worried about upsetting Sanae... She's not even herself during this incident... Damn it, I wouldn't hesitate to blast her with spell cards.

[Frustrated, she rubbed her hands in her hair. If any of the more Youkai-ish Youkai saw this right now she would be in trouble, she thought to herself.]

[And down Reimu goes. She is slammed hard into the dirt, and coughs up some blood.]

Gah!!

[nephentes_rajah]

I didn't catch that! Sorry. You'll have to— [ Yuuka grabs the back of the girl's uniform with both hands and drags her to her feet... and face-first into a nearby tree. ] —speak up!!

[ It isn't hard enough to kill even a human like her; she's just having a bit of fun~. ]

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu is slammed against the tree, and can feel her nose break against the hard bark. She coughs, gritting her teeth against the pain. She had to get Yuuka off her, and she knew the perfect spell. She did a quick hand sign.]

Boundary: Expanding Boundary.((OOC 45 sec mark))

[ In her overconfidence, Yuuka left herself wide open to being repelled like that. She flies back and rolls along the ground once she makes her landing several yards away.

She slowly rose to her feet after a moment of stillness and laughed. ] Not quite finished yet, are you?

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu wipes the blood from her nose onto the back of her hand, and spits some blood out of her mouth.]

You think I would be done in so easily? It would shame the hakurei name.

[nephentes_rajah]

We can't have that, now can we? [ Which is said as she gathered energy at her sides and sent two concussive blasts right at Reimu and the tree. ]

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu did some quick hand seals, and a strong barrier appeared in front of her, blocking the blast. Reimu looked at Yuuka and smirked.]

My Barriers will stop any of your attacks. I won't let you get close to me again.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Yuuka ceased her attack and pouted. ] How dull, Reimu. Protecting yourself with barriers and shields. [ Calmly, she walks over to where her umbrella was laying. ] Are you really so fragile, still, after all this time?

[ She picked the parasol up and brushed some dirt from it. ]

[nekomikoreimu]

I don't have that freakish resistance like you do. I'm still human!

[nephentes_rajah]

[ With a sly smile. ] There are ways around that, you know~.

[nekomikoreimu]

So you want me to become a youkai or something like that? Now why would I do something like that?

[nephentes_rajah]

Why wouldn't you? —or, better question, why haven't you, yet?

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu clenched her fists in anger, and glares at Yuuka.]

Because, while I may be violent at times, prefer to settle things with action, and sometimes be lazy, I do not think so little of other peoples lives! I do what I do to protect others, not just for fun!

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Yuuka put on a dramatic air, fingers on her chest, put-upon expression and everything. ] Honestly, Reimu! Are you implying that all youkai are violent and dangerous? You can still be as lazy and self-righteous as you want.

You'd just be... more powerful. [ And thus more interesting. You'd just love to be the apple of Yuuka's eye, wouldn't you? ]

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu rolled her eyes at Yuukas display.]

Please. All the most Youkai like of Youkai are like that.

[She then smirks]

And given how I have beaten every Youkai I have ever fought, I think becoming one would make me weaker.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Yuuka wags a finger and turns halfway away. ] By your rules, perhaps~.

[nekomikoreimu]

No other rules matter.

[nephentes_rajah]

The rules only exist because you do, and you only survive because of those same rules. [ She begins to walk away. ] Keep that in mind!
