"Whaaaat?" The Senshi of Spring wailed, casting a distressed look in Sailor Iris's direction. She hadn't even told her what she could do! To top it off, she wasn't fond of doing her attack twice; it was pretty draining for a senshi to do, darn it. Both she and Pegasus had almost felt like fainting when they had managed to formulate a plan, though they had to use their attacks a second time. It was a lesson they had to learn, though she wondered why on earth didn't Astraea choose to tell them about that. That cat was really pretty vague.
This had better work. She thought, gritting her teeth as she flung out her arms, the gem set in the middle of her brooch glowing. "Flora Pollen Fever!" The scent of flowers filled the air and what seemed to be yellow powder flew towards the youma. Hopefully it breathed in enough of the pollen to choke to death.

The black box was a slow moving target. As the yellow powder flew at it, it opened up at the top and once more called out "Senshiiii..." The yellow powder, as a result, was able to get inside the box.
The Youma had been able to take 2 more hops towards Sailor Iris, before it suddenly stopped in place. The edges of the box almost seemed to twitch, as if something had agitated it. And all of a sudden, it opened up its lid as wide as it could with a loud "AAAAHHHHCHOOOOOOOOO!!!!" The lid of the box fell down again, closing the inside of the box.
With a grin on her face, the Rainbow Scout uttered "That's th'ticket!" before her right fist began to glow. Given a few seconds, it formed into a delicate looking ribbon made of colored light. She began to run around the box-Youma, aiming to get behind it.
Once more, the Youma began another large sneeze, opening up the lid of the box back and wide again. Sailor Iris let out her battle cry, shouting out the ever scary "IRIS RAINBOW RIBBON!!!" With the twirl of her wrist, she flung the ribbon at the lid of the box. The ribbon of light latched around the lid. Using all her strength, the scout began to pull. Though she was strong, she was not strong enough to pull the box over like she had originally wanted to. However, the lid of the box was not closing thanks to Sailor Iris' efforts.
Calling out from where she was posted, the tall girl somewhat ordered "Hey, um... Sailor Flora! Push the opposite side of the box towards me!"

It was to soon to rejoice that her attack had hit however. Flora's face remained grim, remembering how the octopus youma had simply flailed and started destroying more things. At least this one didn't have as many appendages? That was a plus. And it wasn't as big.
She watched as the other senshi began her attack, what seemed to be a rainbow colored lasso of sorts. Interesting. Flora was of the opinion that their job here would soon be done and they could make their escape, but Sailor Iris needed help. How heavy was that thing? She nodded and began pushing the youma in the direction Iris told her to, rather glad that it wasn't slimy, for her gloves didn't cover her palms. Even if they did, she would be horrified to dirty it; how did you get the stains out of an outfit like this?
This was not in the job description. Was the sentence that ran through Flora's head; but then again, Astraea had given her the vaguest job description EVER. And it wasn't as though she had asked for it. She sighed and continued pushing.

The combined efforts of both Scouts were paid off in spades. After a short while, the extra pushing that Sailor Flora had added caused the box to tilt towards where Sailor Iris was. Fortunately, the Senshi of Rainbows was not standing directly next to the box, but back far enough for the box to topple onto its side without effecting the tall girl. The box thudded heavily on the ground, seeming defeated.
The ribbon of light disappeared after the box landed on the ground. Had Sailor Iris been a careful girl, she might have been wary when investigating the interior of the box that now remained open without a shred of movement. This was not the sort of girl that she was. Instead, she rather promptly hopped into the lid of the box and began to make her way into it.
In the interior of the box was what seemed to be a half-blob, half-human creature sprawled out, sneezing and coughing rather harshly.
"Senshiii...." it wheezed out weakly.
Sailor Iris grinned, then went back to the opening of the box. "Hey, Flora! Yer Pollen stuff worked awesome!"

Well er...that was easier than she had thought. She stepped back as the box fell over with a dull thump, eying it cautiously. What if it shot back up and attacked them again? These youma were so unpredictable sometimes.
Eyebrows shot up as Sailor Iris actually went inside the youma, INSIDE the thing, and Flora let out a hasty squeak of caution, backing away slowly and warily. What if there were tentacles in there that would grab them both and bash them up? The first youma she had battled still haunted her, though it was probably good that she had met such a dangerous one; it put her on her guard. Better to be safe than sorry, right? Apparently however, the other senshi hadn't heard of the phrase, and Flora inwardly groaned. Was she going to have to use her power again?
"There's something in there?" She asked, wrinkling her nose in distaste. "And er...well, you did good too. That was cool." She would have sounded more enthused if not for the fact that the senshi was still INSIDE the damned youma.

"Yeah!" the tall girl called out. "I think th'Youma was usin' this box fer cover!"
That was all she was able to say before she once more heard the eerie wheeze of "Senshiiii...."
Not having enough time to fully appreciate the compliment, Sailor Iris did the only humane thing possible for the suffering Youma-in-a-box. She went back inside the box for a moment, her fist glowing for a moment before her weapon returned to her side.
"Iris Rainbow Ribbon!"
There was no missing, since she was literally right in front of the Youma. Her ribbon wrapped around the gelatinous being close to where the head was assumed to be. Thank god it wasn't an extremely solid being this time, or she might have had trouble cutting the head off cleanly. All it required was a simple tug and off came the Youma's head. It bounced and rolled in a messy fashion on the ground before it seemed to dissolve into ashes, along with the rest of its body and the box exterior.
And Sailor Iris being inside the box meant...
"Gross, I got Youma dust on me!"

Who came up with the designs for youma anyway? Flora wrinkled her nose at the thought of a monster using a giftbox to hop around, and it was made of rather hard material too! How on earth did that even work...oh never mind.
She was about to open her mouth and ask the other what she was doing by attacking again (and that it would drain her of her energy), but a thud signified the death of the youma, for there was none of that creepy wheeze, thank goodness. Relieved, she moved closer to catch a glimpse of the youma, wrinkling her nose at the sight. "Ew!" She exclaimed, turning away. Really, who created these things?
"We'd better go." She added, her comment directed at Sailor Iris. "Before the police comes and try to capture us for being 'terrorists'."

With all of the grace of a dog, Sailor Iris shook herself off, causing the dust to go flying around her.
"Yeah, yer probably right, kiddo! See ya around, Sailor Flora!" Without any hesitation, the taller of the two scouts fled, heading back towards the bathroom. She had still yet to get any shopping done, and now looking back, this was the perfect opportunity for her to get what she wanted with little hassle.
It was probably the most awesome Youma attack to date, just based off usefulness.

Flora stepped back as Iris shook herself, holding her nose with one hand and fanning at the air with the other, making sure none of the dust settled on her instead.
"Thanks!" She called after the retreating scout, figuring that it was the least she could do. She probably had to run from the youma for quite a while until it succumbed to the poison it had breathed in had Sailor Iris been not around. She followed where the other had went, peeking inside the janitor's closet to get her shopping bag and returning back to normal civilian form. At least the police hadn't arrived yet.
Heaving a sigh of relief, she closed the door and headed out to the nearest mall exit. All she wanted to do now was to get back to the safety of the Crystal dorms.
