Icy shards ripped and tore their way through Yuuka's exposed skin. She'd flinched again this time, pulling her head down- but it didn't do much to help cover her limbs. The truth was that perhaps it was a bit short-sighted of her to try and fight an ice fairy in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt... But she wouldn't let anyone hear that from her.
As the card dispelled, she let out a deep sigh. "Perhaps in an all too literal sense you are right about the nature of this life. But such philosophy doesn't suit us." Again, she had stopped moving- not wanting to waste her energy while speaking. "Thinking too much about our nature has never made a youkai anything but meek." She took two steps to the side immediately, feeling the rush of air from one of Cirno's icicles pass her on her left.
You learned quickly in Gensokyo how little movement dodging such things really took.
With a frown, Yuuka hooked the handle of her broken parasol into the collar of her shirt, letting it rest against her back. She would have to fix it later. Instead she stepped forwards, making an erratic path as she moved closer to Cirno. Every so often one of the bullets the ice youkai was firing would strike- on her shoulder, cutting through more skin her leg. But Yuuka paid little heed to this, marching forwards single-mindedly. It was a pain to channel her danmaku without her parasol as a focus, so it would be best to just stick to physical attacks for now.
Though by the time she got within a few feet of the former fairy she was badly cut up just about everywhere, blood seeping from all over her legs, arms and torso. It was surface damage, she told herself- though the numbness of the ice that was beginning to set in was worrying. Still, she paused once she was in melee range- half out of breath from walking this distance in less than thirty seconds while injured, and half to glare imposingly.
It was quite enough time for Cirno to throw the first punch, one aimed for Yuuka's face- though she was cut short by Yuuka's own, aimed into her diaphragm.
The yuki-onna stumbled backwards with the breath knocked out of her. Though thanks to her tough skin the blow hadn't hurt as much as it could have, it would have still certainly bruised were she not a prime. Yuuka, however, had predicted this moment of distraction- taking a step closer and tossing her elbow around Cirno's neck. Though she couldn't say she'd done much in the way of crushing restraints before, now was as good a time as any to try. She laughed almost childishly as her opponent struggled against her grip, pulling the former fairy in tighter.
Predictably, this was far less fun for Cirno than it was for Yuuka. She clawed wildly at Yuuka's forearm with her fingernails, kicking and doing her best to try and wrench herself free. While she was making some progress, it was clearly not as quickly as she liked- and Yuuka was still pulling the crushing grasp tighter. At some point she even bit down into the flower youkai's forearm, which had made her flinch a bit and snarl, but not much more.
"My. It's a bit unethical, but it seems I've found a good method for disciplining you children." Once again, Yuuka laughed heartily at her own joke. If you could call it a joke. Her intonation was in fact terrifyingly serious.
Apologies in advance, Clownpiece.
Quite sick of this and quite frankly unconcerned about anything like honor or playing nicely, Cirno growled. "Stop- treating me like- some kind of kid-!" With most of the air being suffocated out of her, the objection came out uncharismatically staccato. This only made the flower master laugh again, but that had been her intention all along. In the moment of distraction, she reached up, clawing at Yuuka's face this time- aiming for the eyes.
This flinch, finally, distracted her opponent long enough that Cirno could wrestle herself out of the hold.
Not wanting to make that mistake again, the blue-haired woman leapt backwards, towards her dropped hammer- and took it in hand. Yuuka, however, simply stood in place. Not letting her grimace of pain from having her face torn at overstay its welcome, she put back on her best smile. Once again, she stood completely still, simply beaming at her out-of-breath opponent. Smugly. Already full of satisfaction from just that one little display of dominance, even if it didn't seem to have done much lasting damage.
"Well, that was fun. Let's continue."

Yuuka got hit by the super, obviously.
Cirno used her Icicle Attack a couple times which hit like twice.
Then she tried to punch Yuuka when she got close, and failed.
Yuuka didn't actually use any moves in this post, just Physical Strength to do a punch and then a chokehold.
Eventually Cirno pulled herself out of the chokehold with her own Physical Strength.
But not until after much gloating from Yuuka.
And so now they're both standing there, Cirno has her weapon again, and Yuuka's just being smug. As usual.
Yuuka is still definitely more outwardly injured, but perhaps she did some damage to Cirno's pride.
