The ice master vs the flower master

[PepsiYuuka]

Cirno storming off was almost to be expected by now. Yuuka having since learned that was just her way of calming down.

Reimu, nearly snarling with anger, stomped about two steps after her- only to be cut off when her arm was grabbed around the wrist. As she turned, she noted Yuuka behind her, pulling herself fully upright again off the tree. Her summoning had already fizzled out, the distraction causing it to fail. (But it was for the best, Elly didn't need to be involved in this.) The shrine maiden seemed rather upset by this gesture of surprising restraint, but found that Yuuka's grip only intensified, just a bit, as she tried to pull away. Though still injured herself, Yuuka had already formed a smile back onto her face.

"Tact isn't the first thing a Youkai learns."

Her words were simple, but effective. The moment she loosened her grip, however, the shrine maiden pulled her arm back to her chest, rubbing her wrist. Thankfully, Yuuka was in good enough shape to have remembered to go easy on the fragile human, so she hadn't even left a bruise. ...Yet Reimu still considered using those needles she'd grabbed on the flower youkai.

Reluctantly pocketing her persuasion needles, Reimu stepped into the air, as gracefully as ever for one whose most notable power was flight. Yuuka followed suit herself, though lagging behind as the shrine maiden flew off after Cirno- back in the direction she had arrived from. Presumably back to the shrine, because what DIDN'T happen at the shrine? "You're both still in trouble." She insisted, glancing back at a still smiling Yuuka. For her part, Yuuka seemed to simply... not care whatsoever that she was in trouble. Probably because she knew that around these parts, Reimu couldn't do shit to actually enforce that punishment, but y'know.

Unfortunately, by the time the two of them were back (no thanks to Yuuka), Cirno had already left. This left Reimu down a few pieces of produce, up a couple coins, and still angry. Yuuka, though she was sitting on the porch, could hear the distinct sound of screaming into a pillow from within the shrine. Then the sound of stomping. This continued for several minutes as she sat in place, only to be finally punctuated by the sound of the sliding doors behind her being slammed. The very instant she turned to look, Yuuka found herself with a talisman glued directly onto her face.

She couldn't read it from her current position, but it definitely said "Useless Idiot."


Not exactly disheartened from this, Yuuka flopped back onto the floor, putting her in a position where she was directly blocking the doorway from being shut. Staring up around the talisman at the ceiling of the shrine, she mumbled something about being bored again, and then Mugenkan- which Reimu scoffed at. "You're still going to sleep at the shrine and get blood everywhere, I'm sure."

"You're not wrong." The youkai yawned, rolling over and all the way into the shrine this time. Reimu closed the door behind her, making a painful reminder to herself to clean all that up tomorrow. "Mid telling me what we missed here? I need something to put me to sleep." Yuuka really needed no such thing, but she did want to get on Reimu's nerves.
