"...Who?"
It was all she managed before she was again pelted with icy bullets.
Her balance off from her broken leg, she tumbled out of the air and to the ground below. Landing hard on said leg, she grit her teeth and snarled- feeling the pain strike her hard in her concentration. All at once, like they were being plucked by some invisible child, petals and then stems fell from her hair and absorbed themselves into the dirt. With her rush of energy gone, she stumbled to her feet slower than ever.
"I can't say I recall- it must not have been very important." Yuuka bit her lip at the comment of being scared. Certainly, she wasn't scared- she didn't even have a recollection. Had she really not cared about something like that at the time? Well- her motivations and Yukari's weren't necessarily aligned. Still, she put a bright smile back on her face, not wanting to seem worried- not wanting to seem weak. "I'm not going to go out of my way to chase something or someone boring, no matter what they do. That's not my problem."
She didn't move. Didn't take a step. Just focused, pulling energy into herself again.
Of course, Yuuka was aware Cirno could dodge any little thing she could shoot in this form of hers. And she was too fast to catch. This was an annoyance- and inconvenient. Yuuka herself knew she was now fighting a war of attrition. There was no need to waste energy on such things, then. It would be easier to wait for her opponent to slip up than to give chase.
So she simply dropped her guard.
"Hm. That's too bad. I suppose I'll just have to hit you with something you can't dodge, then." That was a bit of a misleading statement. Most everything she had could be dodged, in theory. It was a brag as opposed to a legitimate threat. Even the ice fairy knew that much, and smirked.
"Then I'll just keep moving."
"Oh, aren't we confident."
Again, it was hard to tell if Yuuka was being honest in her praise or sarcastic, as she didn't even try to change her tone. Cirno was leaning towards sarcastic for this one. But still, it was surprising to see Yuuka seemingly giving up. In the back of her mind the ice fairy must have been aware she was up to something. She had to be. Yuuka wouldn't give in this easily.
From her place further back in the trees, Cirno fired a warning icicle shot- to see what the Youkai would do in response. However, Yuuka didn't even make an attempt to dodge- correctly predicting its path to miss her by mere inches. "About five inches to the right," she piped up happily, arms behind her back, "And that might have actually stood-"
She was cut off by the icicle fired about five inches to the right.
This one struck her hard in the good hip. The Youkai's form wavered slightly, trying to regain her balance on one and a half legs. Still, she didn't move from where she was. Didn't even move her arms. It was precisely at this point when the fairy realized maybe getting her to stay still and fire was the intention. She took off and upwards through the trees, hoping to get somewhere Yuuka couldn't see her.
"You can hide, but you can't run." Came the ultimatum, as she swept her arm and the glowing light in her palm forward.
The line of fire was through the dense boughs of trees, making it hard to pinpoint exactly which way to dodge from above. This was intentional. It was a shame, really, that she'd be doing much damage at all to the surrounding forest. Oh well. They were magic trees. She'd fix them later.
"I may not need fear, but bringing it is all I have to offer. And today, I'm fine with yours."
The kickback was harsher, without a focus- even if she held back. The light burned much of the skin off of her lower arm. With a bad leg, she couldn't stand well- and so dropped to one knee as she fired. She didn't like this feeling, of being on her knees, even though she knew it was the only way to win.
Ah, she'd known Cirno wasn't entirely wrong about her fear of losing. But it wasn't her fear of losing any battle- it was her fear of losing her pride.
It was all she managed before she was again pelted with icy bullets.

Master Spark used so that's 3/3 SP spent.
Not my best work but man I'm tired and I just wanted to get it done.
Yuuka's tired too. She needs that nap badly now, haha.
