The block was easy enough, the youkai had spent years in caves, she maybe be small looking, but the ardous cave work laid hidden under her more weak looking exterior.
She was picked by the front of her shirt, allowing her to peek at Yuuka over her glasses. She blinked, she was not flustered. Why was she not flustered infront of such a strong youkai? What did she have planned? "Name Is Yochi Youji, mole youkai of the mountaint, dear."
"Now, I have one question before you try to end me," she asked not struggling," Why the hell are you so pissed off?"

This question took Yuuka aback. What could she tell Yochi? Because she cared about Ibara? Because she wanted to heal her, to help amend her troubled past? All laughable in the eyes of a Youkai... It should have been laughable in hers, as well. "You-...I-..."
Her grip tightened. "You used Ibara...my friend...you abused her innocence...for your own dark deeds! Isn't that justifiable enough?" Gods...now she was preaching like a Shrine Maiden. What a sorry state this woman managed to put Yuuka in.
The tip of her parasol began to glow again...

"Ah, you like her don't you? The oni, has she grown onto you, eh?" Yochi grinned with a laugh. "Nice, she has a new master to follow~"
She raised a hand," Sorry, But, I do not take kindly to being treatened." The minerals that where in the shelves rained on Yuuka like danmaku, and the mole youkai took the chance to ram the shovel into her side.
Quickly scrambling back and keeping the minerals spinning around her she smiled. "NOw, if you want to punish me for deeds that happened before this, go ahead, you are not the first," She laughed spinning the shovel over her hand and back into her palm," But I am warning you, that this is my home, and you seem in no mental condition to fight."
Not to mention her plan~

Yochi's words caused Yuuka to hesitate, and anger her as well. She didn't expect the sudden attacks at all.
From the tip of the parasol, Yuuka released bursts of small sunflowers. The sunflower danmaku countered Yochi's mineral hail, allowing Yuuka time to recoil from the shovel strike. She growled, holding her side. "You b***h..!"
"Save your concern!" Yuuka cried out as she lept forward, swinging her parasol down hard at Yochi and cleaving a path through the hail that surrounded her. In her other hand, energy began to gather, calling forth the strength she had and preparing to release a single Spark.

Yochi laughed at Yuuka's pain, quite literally," My, my, feisty!"
She blocked the Parasol by holding the shovel away from her. Yochi only spotted the spark getting ready," Oh crap."
Whether the spark blasted, if it did it got Yochi, she had no way to dodg but the door busted open...
COvering her face Ibara stood at the door, too blinded by the sudden brightness, all she really could see was two figures, and judging by heigth it seemed Yochi was in trouble.
"Mochi?!" The blinded oni dashed and well, tackled Yuuka down. Quickly buckling her knees at either of her sides, and, grasping Yuuka by the front of the shirt, planted a solid punch across her face.
The mole was berly getting up, but she saw Ibara pinning Yuuka and laughed," Damn, you are pretty well timed!"
"What-?" Ibara's eyes begun to re adjust as she looked to Yochi, then looking down at whoever she was holding she ran pale," Y-yu-uka?!" She let go of the flower youkai," Oh for-!'

"You're dead..!" The energy finished charging, and she was about to release the spell when the door burst open. This distracted Yuuka by turning her head, causing her to cancel the spell prematurely by clenching her fist. Instead of a beam of magic energy, merely a kinetic shockwave was released.
"Ibara?! What are yo-mf!!" Yuuka's voice was cut short as she was sent to the ground by the Oni's weight and punch. She spat out blood to the side. "Get off of me!" she swiped quickly with her parasol, with enough force to shove Ibara over but not harm her.
Quickly finding her feet, Yuuka readied herself to fight again, parasol pointed straight at Yochi. "This time, I won't hold back.."

"I' sor-"Ibara had litte to protest to,so Yuuka easily pushed her off. The oni landed just to the side, blinking.
Ooooh boy Yochi got up using her shovel as a crutch,"Alrigt alright, I won't hold back either. Seems you are more than apt to find an early grave~" She pulled a spellcard from her sleeve,"Though, shame to lose this over something this stupid." The youkai was referring to the fact they would most likely cave in her home,but she was only grinning.
Ibara looked at the two unsure as to why the fight was happening, but seeing Yuuka point the parasol at Yochi and Yochi point her spellcard at Yuuka, she quickly stood, and stood infront of Yochi, back to mole youkai."I have no idea what you did to get her so angry but just be quiet now."Ibara pushed the smaller Youkai behind her,as if to protect her with her own body,"I won't let you hurt her, Yuuka, I don't know what she did to you or why you are here, but it is best if you take your leave before the whole cave collapses in on us."
It seemed the oni was quite determine to fight if harm came towards the mole youkai, who was smiling from ear to ear at Ibara defending her.
"Now,Now," Yochi said," We shouldn't be too feisty to our guests."
"Well you can't hurt her either, Mochi," Ibara commented over her shoulder.
"What? I can't? But she is the one attacking me in my own home to begin with!" The youkai groaned,"All I did was answer her questions and she was picking me up by the front of the shirt!"
Did Yuuka have a tendency to take people by the front if the shirt,"W-well, I can't let- Answerig questions? What for? You aren't exactly well known in Gensokyo for anything-"
The dark-glassed Youkai peeked around Ibara at Yuuka,"I will let her answer that!" She gave a fanged grinned,"Go on, why don't you tell her what you came her for, eh, Miss Parasol?"

"This...woman, this thing," Yuuka replied, her aim still on Yochi, through Ibara, "She's been using you. Abusing you. You're nothing but a pawn to her... She admitted it herself, moments ago. She's made use of her own ability to manipulate you to lure in humans..."
Yuuka gathered more energy, preparing her next spell. Small flowers began to appear, both near her and dotting the walls. "She has preyed on your innocence. For that, I will punish her. Now, get out of the way, Ibara..."
A dark thought occurred to Yuuka. With Ibara guarding Yochi like this, it would be easy to catch them both with the same spell. Then, she could be done with this once and for all... But...could she really commit to such an act, and lose someone she cared for? ...Wouldn't that make all this meaningless?

Yochi only chuckled at Yuuka's insults
"..."Ibara looked down, her cap shielding her eyes,"I know. I know she uses me."
Yochi went silent, seemed the table had flipped on her little game.
"Do you honestly think I am stupid enough not to know this, Yuuka?" the oni continued,"But there is not much I can do to it but let it happen. She showed me some mercy when the whole world turned its back on me. You can't blame me for clinging to what little reminds of what I was." As the flowers sprouted behind Yuuka, Ibara looked up, her blue eyes piercing with determination,"I know how I am used, but I can't do anything it about it."
Yochi slipped a diffrent card from her sleeve as Ibara spoke. "Ibara, you are a damn good speaker." The oni looked at her, in time to see the card," Blindness Sign~ Internal Fiend!"
The whole room went pitch black, not a single thing in sight-
"I seriousl didn't expect it to get this dark." Her voice said," See? Well this is a small example of just how dark all three of us are! Hahaha, here I was thinking you would see."
"Damn it Mochi!" Ibara's voice came from somewhere," Don't do it! You can cave the whole thing down-"
"Nah, I am just making it harder for Miss Parasol Lady overthere to hit us."

"A willful puppet...you'd serve well under that Doll Witch."
Yuuka closed her eyes. "But, I refused to believe you're that pathetic. We all must choose our way; it's our right as living, sentient beings."
= = =
The darkness was unexpected, but not unwelcome. She wagered that they couldn't see her, as well. She'd have to make use of this opportunity while she could... Yuuka altered her spell slightly, turning the flowers into roses. These roses grew sharp thorns. The roses, and in turn their thorns, grew many times their natural size. Once adequately large, the thorns exploded off their hosts, showering the area with shrapnel.
Yuuka winced as her own thorns pierced her, as well.

"WOAH!" Yochi's voice complained,'Wh-what is this?!"
"I think we just got cou-OUW- countered-"
"AGH, these things-"
Ibara evetually took Yochi, shielding the youkai with her own body,"Do something. QUICK."
"Blindness Sign~ External Fiend!" The darkeness begun to gather in one spot: where Ibara held Yochi. As the darkness gathered it begun to shoot various shot of danmaku, mostly the larger orbs and a few pointer like ones, all directed in a ribbon like pattern and at Yuuka.
"I didn't mean for you to hurt her-!"
"She started it, now shush!"

Yuuka cut through the danmaku with her parasol, grazing what else she could. A larger orb caught her arm, tearing her sleeve away.
The Roses around them began casting their own danmaku, aimed for the center of the sphere of darkness. "Stop protecting her, Ibara! Or I... I don't want to hurt you, as well!"
Yuuka slowly made her way towards the sphere, grazing the ribbon-like danmaku and readying another spellcard of her own.

Ibara took the danmaku that made it to the sphere of darkness, despite Yochi's best attempts, the mole youkai was not the best with danmaku spell cards to begin with.
"Just do it Yuuka."
Yochi blinked,wondering what this meant."eh-..?" she kept her attacks going.
"Just cast the spell. Just whack me right out. I can't let go yet, and I won't," Ibara said, clinging a bit more to Yochi. "Sorry for letting you down."

But...you didn't...
"Past And Present ~ Dual Spark!"
The energy Yuuka had gathered swirled and collected beside her, growing to manifest a shade-like form. The form began to fill in and take shape, creating a near-identical replica of Yuuka...only, she was different. This second Yuuka's hair was much longer, nearly reaching her knees, and she wore specially tailored pants instead of a skirt. On her face, she wore a twisted smile, filled with bloodlust and sadism.
Both Yuuka's mirrored each others movements, raising both their hands and summoning up energy in their palms. From then, two large beams of energy burst forth, both aimed straight at the sphere of darkness...

Dual Spark? Ibara's eyes snapped open, releasing Yochi she turned around digging her heels into the earth and holding her hands ready.
The dual beam impacted head on, but the oni had it in her hands. Her fingers interlocked as she seemed to try to rip the beam apart, the beam was definetly strong, taking a toll on her strenght, but the key was that she wa using all the temperance ability in it. She was controling the beam's flow from her hands on.
The youkai ducked, before looking at Ibara hold the beam,"GO Ibara! You got this!" Yochi grabbed Ibara from behind to help some as the spark made the oni tremble in the struggle.
Suddenly a roar escaped Ibara's throat.
