It seemed as if the seven sin demon had easily pierced through the youkai she had brought to her home. Served her well for damging her home in such way. Even as the smaller one tried to pry the nails away, the heartleass Livid did little to pull back, simply enjoying the fact she had just ended the quarrel in a blow.
Sabitsuki was crying onto her shoulder asking why. Had she been a bit more human she would have cared, but she had long left behind all sort of sympathy."Put simply, I was bored of being alone. Bored of seein people pass and enjoy their lives. So, I decided to peek into their lives."
"Yours was quite interesting." She continued, but she paused. When Livid resumed her voice filled with something else,"You. You were happy. You came here for choice. You had a sister who wasn't even blood related to you. You had a home. You had a treasure to proctect."
"It made me jealous."
"I simply wanted to see how strong a good life makes you." Livid continued,"It seems it makes you quite weak." With a quiet snicker, she spread the wings and pushed foward, taking Sabitsuki along, and rammed her into the wall, holding her pinned in place."Someone weak like this, why is it the ones who have it easy deserve the best life?!"

Sabitsuki was silent in Livid's grasp. She had never thought of herself as having a "good life", or rather, she had never given it much thought at all. It was true, what Livid said: She had Yasashii, an Oni whom she loved very much, like the sister she never had; a home, as humble as it was; and her lantern, an object she held above all others.
...Her lantern?
She looked up, meeting Livid's gaze squarely. "But...you have a home, too, right? And something to protect?" She looked to the side, at the wooden debris her previous Oni-rage had created. "You have this place, don't you? It's your home...your treasure to protect. And...holding love in your heart isn't hard at all: You just need someone to care for, someone to love you back..."
Meeting the Sinful Youkai's eyes again, Sabitsuki grasped a clawed hand around Livid's wrist with renewed strength. "Maybe you're just lonely? Maybe you talk to yourself a lot?" Her body flashed again, revealing a perfect replica of Livid's physical form staring back at her; the lantern, still in the middle of the room, was now casting Livid's shadow quite cleanly over Sabitsuki, allowing her innate natural abilities to take over.
She pulled back with all her might in an attempt to pry herself free from Livid's clutches. "You live here, alone and in darkness - how pitiful!" Another clawed hand reached for Livid's throat. "You think yourself a mighty Youkai, but you're nothing. You're old, decrepit and unwanted - just like the home you protect!"

Livid felt the grip tighten on her own wrist. Suddenly, it hit her; the lantern had been left behind, and would be behind her at this point. With a pit and surge of paranoia, she turned to make sure. The answer was yes; and so the claw clutched her neck.
With the slightest grunt, Livid turned her eyes back to her clone, as it was her turn to receive the verbal beat down she had handed out earlier. "Aaah, if it was that easy~"
Why the sneer cracked her face, it was quite overshadowed by her wings spreading, and pulling up. She took Sabitsuki along, proving that despite being earth ridden, and old and decrepit, the aged youkai had plenty power.
In the short, too swift, three meter fly, Livid clutched her clone by the front of the shirt, flipping herself and the opponent so as to place her below her. By the time they impacted, Livid had placed her knee on the copies' stomach, nailing the floor with it.
It certainly seemed as she cared for the shrine and that she was a quick with her mind. The two had landed perfectly in the area where Sabitsuki had pulled out the planks causing little to none extra collateral damage.
Now keeping Sabitsuki below her, she grinned. Since she was looking down, the bangs covering her right face hanged lose, exposing the intricate design of tattoos she had under her eye and on her cheek, like those of her arm. With a wide grin she said,"You are skilled. Yes. I will give you so much, yet, you are young. And as they say, more knows the devil of age than for being a devil~"

The wind was knocked out of Sabitsuki with Livid's latest pinning move, and the intense negativity in her shadow was overwhelming; Sabitsuki knew she couldn't hold this demon's form for long. "Oooh~! You must like it rough..." She teased with a pained smile, running her fingers up the Sinful Youkai's thigh suggestively, "But who'd want an old hag like you?!" She shoved upwards with all her might, knocking Livid off herself with a combined force of her wings' buffeting and her borrowed demonic strength.
Now standing, Sabitsuki noticed they had landed in the exact spot where she had already inflicted damage upon the shrine. It was clear to her now that her theory was correct: Despite luring her here, Livid was exerting much of her time and effort safeguarding the building from damage. She must not have expected the young Mirror Youkai to put up so much of a fight.
"Tell me something, you disgusting freak...If you didn't want this place to be destroyed, then why did you bring me here? Surely you didn't expect I would go down so easily?!" She flapped her wings menacingly, cracking her knuckles as she did so.

Upon being teased by her own sin, Livid only grinned, aayig as she allowed herself to be pushed back,"Don't start what you can't end~"
She landed quite easily, only smiling at Sabitsuki as the mirror of herself cracked her knuckles in a menacing manner.The sinful youkai only relaxed her stance as her opponent asked, her careless position showing she cared little. "Oh, that?" Livid grinned,"I am simply too lazy to wan to fix this place or find a new one, do you know what I mean? Too much trouble to move to another location and deal with the old habitants...All that pointless business."
"That, and Yes," the woman chuckled,"I didn't think you could pull off sub a near trick." Her grin widen,"I do wonder though, what Will your sister do when I put your head in a box and set it at her door step,mhm~?"

Her heart skipped a beat. This Youkai really was planning on killing her, wasn't she? Sabitsuki thought of Yasashii, wishing her big sister was here, but...then she would be in danger, as well. No, it's better if she could end this here and now...even if she had to take Livid down with her.
"Why do you want to kill me? What did I ever do to you? Are you so depraved that you have to meddle in other people's affairs to satisfy your twisted sense of humor?" Her body flashed and returned to normal, having run out of the energy needed to hold such a powerful form.
Sabitsuki didn't have many options left. She had a number of other forms tucked away in her mind, but Livid's pure strength would probably prove stronger than any form she could take. Running was another option, but if their little chase moments before was any indication, then Sabitsuki could never hope to outrun the Sinful Youkai.
What in the world could combat Sin itself? Mankind has spent countless hours on such an age-old question, so what could a young Mirror Youkai hope to solve? She could feel any shred of hope she had left leave her as her mind spun with revelation and despair. Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought of her big sis, and of all the other people and Youkai she knew and took for granted, and now would probably never see again.
"I-if you want...you can come live with me. I wouldn't mind a guest...y-you could even sleep in...in my bed..." Fear overtook Sabitsuki again, on top of her despair, realizing she was quite a distance away from her lantern again, and with the cold, edged blade of darkness nipping at her psyche.

"Oh no, no, my sense of fun is fully diferent than this, I maybe depraved, but I am not desperate for anything to do this," Livid laughed waving a hand, content to see Sabitsuki ditch her figure. "I do this because I have nothing better to do, and to be honest, torturing poor fools like yourself is very, very amusing." She sneered,"Besides, fresh blood is the best way to liven up this faded old paint."
"I do not thirst for company, have you not gotten that~" The sinful youkai did step closer though, with a mischevous smile,"But, a nice offer from the likes of you...~" She seemed to look Sabitsuki up and down for the split second.

"I..I didn't mean like that..!" Sabitsuki stammered, tugging at her shawl as if trying to conceal her body. She stepped backwards until she hit something, probably one of the support pillars. Her body froze, and her tears overflowed and ran down her cheeks. "Big Sis..." her voice broke, "I just...wanna have ice cream with you one..." her voice was a whisper, "one last time..."
She held her breath for a moment that seemed like hours. Shutting her eyes and taking a deep breath, she let out a primal scream. It was a mixture of fear, despair, and rage, and loud enough to echo throughout the shrine. She shoved off the pillar, running full speed at Livid. Her body flashed, and her silhouette nearly tripled in mass and height, and grew a long, powerful tail and scythe-like claws. This form, ironically enough, was that of the gentle bread-baker whom Sabitsuki visited nearly every day. The giant reptilian Youkai was a kind soul, and dually devoted to his passion for bread making, despite his brutish size and strength.
She gripped the wooden floor with her claws and twisted her body 180 degrees, sweeping the powerful tail at Livid's body in an attempt to smash her, all the while ripping up small junks of wood in her claws due to the sheer force exerted behind the attack.

Livid only chuckled, slipping closer to Sabitsuki. She place her hands on the pillar behind the mirror Youkai, thinking she had won and had everything like she prefered. Now with Sabitsuki up to the pillar and holdinher breath in such a cute manner, her grinned widen. Her hands where on the pillar over the shoulders of the younger girl, but when she suddenly screamed.
Livid got plowed, she had no way of defending herself, and she was pushed onto the next pillar. When her senses refocused, and her heart pounded in her ears, the demon was able to see the tail comming but was unable to do much.
The emboidiedment of the seven sins, slid to the side, landing on a knee and digging her nails into the wood to slow her momentum. Disoriented of sorts, Livid wonder just what had happened, as she stared at the repitile before her. She was certained it was the cute girl she had had to the pillar not five seconds ago!
For a second a frown split her complexion, before she straigthened out and resumed her usual smirk."My, this look simply doesn't suit you!" Livid laughed,"Are you still figthing? This could all be so much easier and pleasent if you gave it up."
She spinned a finger, a spear appearin in her hand out of some black matter. Spinning it in her hand, Livid grinned,"I can't say I don't like a beast who doesn't refuses to be tamed~"
Snickering, the demon awaited Sabitsuki's next move.

The reptile form before the Sinful Youkai hissed with a moist, throaty rattle. Her tail waved back and forth, and she crawled onto all fours, sizing up Livid with the bread baker's large, piercing eyes. Sabitsuki opened "her" mouth, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth and a long, forked tongue tucked away inside a head not unlike a commodo dragon's.
"You tthhhink I care what you want? Missster Zillazzztant might be too niccce for thisss, but I have notttthing to losssse!!" The tail waved quicker, before smashing into the wooden floor behind Sabitsuki, sending splinter shrapnel into the air. "I'm going to enjoy sssnapping your bonesss in my jawsss!!"
The beast lurched forward, horrifying claws ready to swipe, and mouth of daggers opened wide in an all-encompassing attack aimed for Livid. One hand went for the spear, while her other hand and bite were aimed for Livid herself.

Livid's smile concealed her slight surprise and her tense muscles. This beast was sure to put up a fight, and from the way she harmed the shrine, the demon saw there was no easy let up from here. Now threathe by Sabitsuki, the demon quick stepped back, trying to gain more space to move.
Her spear disintegrated on touch, and reformed in Livid's other hand, being used to push the fierce claws away. Even if the spear was not caught, the claw got her edge of her arm, producing a long gash, but the sinful youkai knew what to do: Plunder The Attacks, Batter the Form off The Host.
Having little heart, and tired of her shrine being trashed, Livid swung the Spear a second time, more like a bat, and as she did, pushed off Sabitsuki, moving to the side, away from her opponent. She slid on a single foot, quickly pushing foward using her wings for extra speed.
Livid used an attack similar to Remilia's flying assaults. Flying from one to another, scratching at Sabitsuki's toughened scales everytime she got a chance with the spear. Of course, all that was needed to do was to tip her balance to end this specific attack.

Sabitsuki's attack succeeded, somewhat, catching Livid's arm, but the Sinful Youkai's retaliation was swift and merciless. The swing hit Sabitsuki's side, hard, sending her flying into a support beam, cracking it. "Oowwwww!! You annoying little bit--"
She suddenly found herself under Livid's aerial assaults; it was obvious that she wasn't planning on letting up anytime soon. Thankfully, Sabitsuki's armor-like hide of scales fended off the worst of the damage, giving her room enough swipe in the air with her claws, trying to follow Livid's movements.
She lept in the air in tandem with Livid, exerting a speed only granted by the Reptile Youkai's grand muscles, swiping handfuls of air from the sky. In a last attempt, she lept higher into the air, ricocheting off the ceiling with a powerful downward swing of her tail.

Livid did a great job of staying our of Sabitsuki's claws, but the moment the tail came down she was knocked into the floor. She created a small crater if plankless ground, hitting hard enough to have bounced iff the floor an inch. The demon was unsure of what had happened but soon, she saw the lizard commig down, quickly rolling out of the way, into a beam.
With a push from all four limbs, The demon ran around the lizard looking for an opening, spinning the spear and turning it into a bow and arrow. She was making her way around as she fired a single arrow that split into three and cuaught in what looked like blue fire mid flight."You are really pissing me off."

The beast's eyes widened, catching the full view of the arrows coming at her. Her body flashed as she curled up into ball on the ground, holding her head between her hands. Sabitsuki shrunk back to her original size, revealing her normal figure bowed down against the ground; the arrows passed clean over her, though they surely would have struck the lizard's mass.
She gasped and slurped, swallowing an abundance of saliva that had built up in her mouth thanks to the Reptile Youkai's influence. "Ehh....erm..." She looked up to Livid timidly. "S...sorry about your shrine...?"
