Yuyuko Quest - Perfect Cherry Blossom

[Hanzo K.]

>"Oh~ It looks like we'll get to resolve our old fight from the gathering mist incident after all~! Don't think that just because my stature is changed, that I'm not capable still~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Oh~ It looks like we'll get to resolve our old fight from the gathering mist incident after all~! Don't think that just because my stature is changed, that I'm not capable still~"

>Remilia flicks her hair, "Oh, please~! I'm going to win, no matter what!!"
>Sakuya and Yukari are staring daggers at each other, each preparing their forms of attack. Sakuya still looks quite adept with knives for her age, though not as much as usual. Yukari has her usual careless air about her.
>Reimu looks an inch away from freaking out, and Youmu seems to look like she may take it easy on the kid shrine maiden.

>Suwako raises her hand, "Remember, this is a danmaku fight, so no physical stuff like punches! Everybody is allowed three spellcards each, and once your last one breaks, you lose!! Get ready, and begin!!"

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, let's begin then!"
>Alright then, let's start with something simple, Deadly Dance 'Law of Mortality -Demon World-'.
(Her second Lunatic-Level spellcard from PCB.)

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Well, let's begin then!"

>Everybody fires at each other, but Remilia just awaits your frst move.
>Sakuya has begun to hurl knives at Yukari, who matches it with kunai-spamming.
>Reimu fires her paper charms, Youmu deflecting them easiy with her Roukanken blade.

>Alright then, let's start with something simple, Deadly Dance 'Law of Mortality -Demon World-'.
(Her second Lunatic-Level spellcard from PCB.)

>Your spellcard activates and Remilia dives another 10 metres away, firing handfuls of red shard bullets. Fairly weak shard bullets at that.
>The barrage of blue and purple butterflies edges menacingly at the young vampire, who dashes along the shrine path frantically, still hurling red shards that, for the most part, miss you by a long shot. She starts to get hit several times as the indigo bubble bullets curl around and slam into her, trapping her.
"Whaa!! Yuyuko!! For a kid you're impossibly strong!!" she whines.

>Yukari started up her Border of Wave and Particle spellcard, which grazes Sakuya's leg very slightly as she continues to throw very well-aimed knives. Youmu is firing her multicoloured arrow-head bullets, which slam into Reimu just as she summons her Hakurei charm-box bullets. It seems Sakuya and Youmu are winning so far.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile charmingly. "This is the power of the Lady of Hakugyoukurou~! I used this card ages ago during the Spring Incident~!"
>Keep it up until it times out, or until Remi drops, whichever comes first.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile charmingly. "This is the power of the Lady of Hakugyoukurou~! I used this card ages ago during the Spring Incident~!"

>Remilia pants, "No kidding... it looks like you practised!!"

>Keep it up until it times out, or until Remi drops, whichever comes first.

>Your spellcard keeps going, but before long it times out. Just before Remilia drops, no less, and she raises a spellcard of her own.
"Divine Punishment - Young Demon Lord!!" she screeches, and her spellcard kicks in.
>Light blue lazers encase you in position, and waves of small blue bullets and large yellow bubble bullets slowly but assertively edge towards you.
"I used this during the Scarlet Mist incident! Witness the power of the Scarlet Devil herself, ghosty!!" she taunts, looking rather smug.

>From what it looks like, Sakuya has already used a spellcard, Yukari has used two. Youmu has one left, like Yukari, and Reimu hasn't even announced one yet. It's a tight fight.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's just move slowly and carefully, we'll keep in the lasers for now, and just time out the card.
>Once it times out, follow up with something she's not expected! Flowery Soul 'Butterfly Delusion'!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's just move slowly and carefully, we'll keep in the lasers for now, and just time out the card.

>Remilia seems angered by your slow, almost serene movements.
>Once it times out, follow up with something she's not expected! Flowery Soul 'Butterfly Delusion'!
[/quote]
>It times out, and Remilia growls, awaiting your move.
>The spellcard activates, and Remilia crouches for momentum, then leaps into the sky.
>The star-like pattern of large and small bullets confuse her, but she stays still. Then, the homing butterflies kick in and she panics. Remilia is hit several times, having been caught unawares, and she falls to the floor, on one knee.

>Yukari's last spellcard breaks, declaring Sakuya the winner. Youmu and Reimu are in a deadlock, both on one spellcard left. Reimu has gotten into the swing of the fight, and Youmu looks a little out of her depth.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Oh my, it seems you need more practice Yukari~! Or were you not even playing seriously~?"
>Jokingly chide Yukari. "Shame on you~"
>Oh yes, can't forget about the spellcard~! We'd best keep this one up to the timeout point as well!

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Oh my, it seems you need more practice Yukari~! Or were you not even playing seriously~?"
>Jokingly chide Yukari. "Shame on you~"

>Yukari just smirks, "Tch, I'm currently a child. I didn't have all the practise and besides, Sakuya's a speedy little critter!"

>Oh yes, can't forget about the spellcard~! We'd best keep this one up to the timeout point as well!

>Remilia looks worn out as she attempts and fails to dodge most of the bullets hurled at her.
>Your spellcard times out, and in the clearing dust you see Remilia gasping and she raises another spellcard.
"Scarl-... Scarlet Genso-...-kyo!!" she weakly calls, as a wave of purple bubbles followed by medium-sized red bullets span out around her. "You're going down, Yuyuko!!" she says, vaguely intimidatingly.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Oh my, you are taking this seriously, aren't you dearie~?"
>Well, let's just take it easy, and dodge carefully, pitching a few lazy butterflies her way as we go along.

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Oh my, you are taking this seriously, aren't you dearie~?"
>Well, let's just take it easy, and dodge carefully, pitching a few lazy butterflies her way as we go along.

>Remilia growls as you dodge every single bullet, and she even gets struck with the butterflies. She keeps it going quickly.

>Her spellcard times out. Both of you are down to one spellcard each.

>Meanwhile, Reimu has beaten Youmu, the latter of which looks a little disappointed with herself.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Aaah~ This is rather enjoyable, even better than our battle during the mist incident~!"
>Glance at Youmu. "Youuumuuu~! You need more training~~! Go do nine-thousand laps around the mountain at full speed~! On the ground~!"

>Return our gaze back to Remilia. "Well then, Who will use their last spellcard first I wonder~?"
>Let's keep it simple for now, just send out a large spread of butterflies, with a few large bubbles mixed in. Typical non-spell.

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Aaah~ This is rather enjoyable, even better than our battle during the mist incident~!"

>"Don't treat this so lightly, Yuyuko!!" the vampire growls, "You shall be defeated before you know it!!"

>Glance at Youmu. "Youuumuuu~! You need more training~~! Go do nine-thousand laps around the mountain at full speed~! On the ground~!"

>Youmu straightens up, "Right away, Lady Yuyuko!!" she calls triumphantly, before dashing off in the opposite direction at breakneck speed. The wind caused by her speed nearly knocks Keine and Mokou over.

>Return our gaze back to Remilia. "Well then, Who will use their last spellcard first I wonder~?"
>Let's keep it simple for now, just send out a large spread of butterflies, with a few large bubbles mixed in. Typical non-spell.

>Remilia growls, leaping into the air and raining hopelessly aimed shards at you, which miss without you needing to dodge them. She gets hit several times in confusion and disorientation. Her own anger and determination seems to be costing her.

[Hanzo K.]

>"You should take this fight a little less seriously yourself dear, you're starting to get rather sloppy~!"
>Keep it up, and she'll probably get mad enough for the last one~!

[Nekomata-chan]

>"You should take this fight a little less seriously yourself dear, you're starting to get rather sloppy~!"

>"I'll show you sloppy!! Wait... I'll show you the exact opposite!!" the vampire stutters.

>Keep it up, and she'll probably get mad enough for the last one~!

>Indeed, it worked. Remilia lifts a spellcard, and in her haste forgets to say it right. "Red Nightless the Castle!!" she shouts. Nothing. "Damn it, I mean 'Red the Nightless Castle'!! I think.." she mutters. It works, as she is surrounded by bright red energy. Just before she is engulfed, you see her face contort as she realises her mistakes. One is that the spellcard she just announced was not only her last one, but a short one. Also, she was nowhere near you!! You watch as her spellcard times out on its own, Remilia stood on the ground and staring at it too. Suwako raises her hand.
"Remilia Scarlet is out of spellcards!! Yuyuko Saigyouji is our last winner!!" she declares.
"Hey, Yuyuko!" calls Kanako, "Wasn't there someone else with you? Silver-white hair, green dress, swords... where'd she go? Run away in shame of being defeated by a pudgy shrine maiden?"
Reimu scowls and then insists "Am not pudgy!!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Float over to tacklehug Remilia in an adorable, childlike manner! "See what I meant, Remilia? You should learn to relax and take it easy sometimes~! Well, we can do that now y'know~"
>Blink a few times and look over to Kanako. "Ah, Youmu? I ordered her to train more."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Float over to tacklehug Remilia in an adorable, childlike manner! "See what I meant, Remilia? You should learn to relax and take it easy sometimes~! Well, we can do that now y'know~"

Suwako interrupts you with a deliberate cough. "Ahem. We still need to decide who gets to borrow Sanae for the rest of the day~!" she says, before folding her arms and having a good long think. "There's only one thing for it! Whoever catches her first, wins!! No abilities except flight are allowed!!"

>Blink a few times and look over to Kanako. "Ah, Youmu? I ordered her to train more."

>"I see." Kanako shrugs, "Just wondering."

[Hanzo K.]

>Oh well, nothing for it then, let's go after her!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Oh well, nothing for it then, let's go after her!

>Sanae dashes off at a speed you didn't think she could reach, but she was running. Reimu was struggling with her pudginess, and Sakuya kept tripping over her own feet. You all head after her, all determined. The miracle-working shrine maiden leaps and dives over you all, escaping the grasps of Reimu and Sakuya with quite a bit of elegance. In the background, you see Kanako looking rather surprised, and Suwako wearing a rather smug grin.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well, Suwako said we could fly so....Let's take off!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Well, Suwako said we could fly so....Let's take off!

>You begin to fly after Sanae, who also took the hint and kicked off from the ground. Sakuya and Reimu, who both fly but are hindered by their child forms, disperse and find a good ambush spot.
It is just you and Sanae now, above everybody else. The miracle-girl looks over her shoulder.
"You're very enthusiastic!!" she smiles, before commencing a steep dive down to the earth to throw you off, pulling up at the very last second to fly inches away from the ground.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Of course, because it's fun~!"
>Let's keep a close follow on her as best our speed will allow!

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Of course, because it's fun~!"
>Let's keep a close follow on her as best our speed will allow!

>Sanae weaves around obstacles, determined to get away. Just as she heads for a wall, she pulls up and flies upwards right by your face, throwing you off. The shrine maiden smiles,
 "Then at least keep up!" she taunts, heading around the mountain.
>Youmu dashes underneath you at an impossible speed, muttering.
"4074...!" she murmurs, counting her laps.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's speed up! Who cares if we'll probably be sore? We can just have Youmu tend to us~

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's speed up! Who cares if we'll probably be sore? We can just have Youmu tend to us~

>You speed up after Sanae. Not long after, you see Sakuya and Reimu hove into beside you. Sanae looks over her shoulder and notices the two. As you speed past a building, you see Aya Shameimaru taking pictures and furiously scribbling in her notebook.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well, this will likely be in the news then won't it? Let's give her a good article then shall we?
>Let's push even faster! Full speed ahead~!!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Well, this will likely be in the news then won't it? Let's give her a good article then shall we?
>Let's push even faster! Full speed ahead~!!

>You speed up, and catch up with Sanae. Side by side, both of you are at full throttle.

[Hanzo K.]

>Alright, it's now or never! Let's feint, and then grab her when she's off balance!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Alright, it's now or never! Let's feint, and then grab her when she's off balance!

>You perform a steady feint, disorientating Sanae. You leap on the opportunity and seize her. Underneath, you hear Suwako shout.
"And Yuyuko Saigyouji is the ultimate winner! Sanae is your personal servant for the rest of the day!!" she calls. Sanae whines in defeat, and you both head to the Moriya Shrine courtyard.
