"The lake." Seija uttered to Goro as she handed him their other child and man nodded, floating backwards.
Yukari didn't waste a second to jeer about them splitting their attention, she acted, lunging toward Seija and thrusting her sword forward through a gap, one that would cause the blade to be split into a thousand tiny, lethal needles that would impale Seija on all sides. Each and every wafer thin shard missed, extending away from the Jaku, rather then toward her.
"Decisive of you." Seija uttered as Yukari withdrew her blade and prepared another stroke, before Seija's heel hit the flat of the weapon, deflecting it and giving her an opening for a punch, that was just as quickly grabbed by Yukari, and used to toss the girl away before she could follow up with another kick.
"No tossing me into a gap? Or are you afraid I'll turn them on you?" Seija remarked as she cracked her neck.
Yukari, once again, said nothing as she raised her blade with both hand and focused all her attention on her opponent. The Sage was by no means helpless, at this very moment she could conceive of over fifteen ways to dispatch Seija and move on to her other enemies. However, there remained two problems: the first was that she had expended far too much of her focus and energy fighting up until this point, powerful and lethal as she might be holding the blade, if she used more resources then necessary to kill Seija now, she'd be checked by the other fighters. The second problem was that the Jaku was uncharacteristically calm.
With a sudden burst, Seija was upon Yukari once again and the Sage swung, but her swing turned the wrong way, leaving another opening for Seija to stab her hand at, which found it's way into a gap, and then that gap turned the wrong way, resulting in a punch narrowly grazing Yukari's chin. Yukari quickly rallied, swinging up her own leg in an arc to catch the Jaku's side, only for Seija to quickly roll, grabbing the leg, and tossing Yukari, upon which she attempted to rush the Sage, but was repelled when Yukari managed to swing her sword upwards at the Jaku.
"You... Kasen trained you for this didn't she?" Yukari asked.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I barely spoke with the pervy hermit." Seija shook her head.
There was a resemblance the Yakumo could see, a line between the way Kasen the Hermit fought and the maneuvers Seija was managing now: Focus, fluidity, and despite her contradictory ability, it all seemed completely natural.
But those were just punches and kicks, Yukari decided. Quickly mustering herself, she raised the sword and brought it down, tearing opening the air surrounding her and sending it forward like a dense rain of bullets.
"Child's play!" Seija shouted as she clapped her hands and the first half of the rain doubled back on itself, causing a thousand micro explosions that popped in the air like distant gunfire. It was of no matter for Yukari, as she knew such a large reversal couldn't be done successively, and she swung her sword again, creating another rain of micro bullets and at the same time dashing through a gap to skewer the Jaku as she clapped her hands again, but just as she exited the gap, she found herself stabbing air, her hair hanging upside down, the second barrage sputtering out in the distance.
Instinctively she swung around with her sword and almost caught Seija in a sneak attack before the Jaku narrowly flung herself back.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Seija waved a sole finger in the air, tutting. "I'm not going to insult you by assuming you'd try the same attack twice."
"What's changed about you?" Yukari demanded. "Your fighting was sloppier then this, less disciplined no-"
"Focus?" Seija asked, her grin turning into a frown. "Before now, I never really had a goal, just some silly ideal of revolution, but I'd just turn and turn, and end up right back where I started like a dog chasing it's own tail. I gave up on that."
"Nonsense, you're an Amanojaku. You hate what other's love and love what others hate, you can't shed that fate." Yukari said decisively.
"Well, I did, and you know what? It was holding me back. Kids, two of em', both are going to be such an awful handful you know? But that's just what I wanted all along, an interesting Gensokyo, And now..." Seija began, spreading out both arms "...I feel like I can finally think straight, like I can do anything, even make you realize how much of a fool you're being."
The Sage did not reply, but merely readied her sword yet again. She didn't need to win this fight, didn't need to risk anything more. All she needed to do was delay, wait until the nuclear payload of the attack submarine she teleported from the outside world went super critical and wiped away Youkai mountain and her opposition with it.
"If you're stalling for time I have bad news for you. My family, that stupidly tolerant man of mine and the children you gave us, they're about to do your teaching proud." Seija said with a toothy grin.
