Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tsui went crashing down to the pavement, knees and chest taking the blunt of the fall but still managing to scrape her palm and wrists against the ground. She managed to spare her jaw, though, so her loud 's**t' could be heard clearly. All the while, she was too enraged to truly take Euclase's words in, and she flipped herself around, trying to get back to her feet and defend herself from Euclase's incoming assault, even as she fought through an incensed haze of anger and frustration.

What had Euclase said? 'No better than the rest of them?' Why? Why did that anger Tsui so much? Had she been sensible, she would have seen the error of her ways in striking out, and she would have seen Euclase's point. She would have immediately remembered the petty bickering and arguing during the meeting, always at each others throats and unable to come to a simple agreement, and simply lashing out like a decrepit, blind predator trying to defend itself against an enemy far more organized and united. A foe that they could not even begin to defeat on its own.

But Tsui was simply too angry, too struck stupid with anger to have realized this, and she lunged herself at Euclase. She didn't care if she was proving her point or succumbing to barbarism at this point- Euclase wanted a fight, and she'd get it. All Tsui could say in her defense was a barely coherent '******** you', striking blindly and certain to miss with a few of her blows but simply no longer caring.

And boy did Tsui bleed. She hadn't noticed it at first, but her knees, elbows, and now her lip as well as mouth were fresh with blood, and Tsui felt something loose in her mouth. There was no denying what it was, it was only a question of which tooth Euclase had managed to kick completely out, and a spit into her dirty hands revealed it was a tooth in the back. An incisor or bicuspid... in truth, Tsui didn't know which tooth was which, but the fact that it wasn't one in the front was some small relief, though not enough to quell her anger.

It did, however, made her respect her opponent, in a strange, twisted manner, and she was going to say something in that regards to the Senshi of Suffering, until she noticed that she was charging right at her midsection. She held onto the tooth that was knocked out, but she couldn't dodge, not at this range and speed, so she tried to brace herself. She planted her feet firmly on the ground and tried to hold her ground, but Euclase's rush was not to be denied and down the Super went. One hand still held her tooth, while the other went for Euclase's jaw but missed, and she grabbed a handful of hair and tried to keep her head pulled back.

Tsui wasn't the type for hair pulling, but now she was getting desperate, and mad! She spat at the other Senshi, spitting blood at her and struggling to try and free herself before she had the chance to beat her down, all the while not wanting to lose the tooth in case it could be recovered. "******** you, I'll never join your side! Not in a million years!"

Had Tsui taken the time to consider her actions, she would have been ashamed of herself for resorting to such downright girly actions. Hair pulling was not something Tsui wanted to do, but out of sheer desperation, she didn't think twice about resorting to that tactic, and she was frustrated, yet relieved, when Euclase had managed to roll out of her grip. Despite the difference in rank, Euclase had not only left her bleeding and bruised, but had managed to get under her skin, and once the two were separated, only then did it dawn on Tsui just how much control she had lost in the fight.

Their fukus were a mess, blood staining her white bodice and fur, though she wasn't sure if all of it was hers or some of it was Euclase, and in truth it didn't really matter. She still held her tooth in her balled up fist, almost feeling the roots cutting into her palm as she felt the inside of her mouth to see which tooth it was, as well as accessing the rest of the damage. It had been awhile since Tsui bleed, though at least the last time it was a general that managed to cut into her side.

This time? It was a simple, basic senshi that drew blood, and surprisingly enough, this almost humbled the proud Senshi of Tigers. She should have been afraid, that someone a rank lower than her had managed to beat her down as well as get under her skin as well as she did, but part of her was excited. Maybe it was the blood loss, or maybe there was some truth to Euclase's claim, but it was enough to make Tsui flash her bloody teeth with a smile.

"Now that we've shed enough blood here, I'm going home now. For real." Tsui said with a spat. Of course, this was more or less the equivalent of throwing the match, but Tsui could not allow herself to fall for the bait again. Both of them were already a bloody mess and in truth she didn't want to push Euclase any further. Not out of fear, but she didn't want to ruin her Court's reputation any further. She simply didn't trust herself to keep her temper in check a second time, as this time, when she turned around, she was determined not to look back. If there were some Corrupted senshi out there that could be purified, then Euclase would not be one of them... and Tsui couldn't blame her, if others in her court had treated her like she just did.
