damned_institute | Night 44: F1-F10 Hallway

Had Yukari been paying attention, she might have dodge the blow. Had Yukari been paying attention, she might have opened a gap, catching the ninja's fist and sending it harmlessly whiffing through the air behind her head. Had Yukari been paying attention, she might have figured out that sneaking up on the ninja like that was probably a poor attention.

Yukari, however, was half asleep and instead only blinked dumbly as she was jerked forwards into the incoming fist, wincing as it grazed off her jaw, making her stumbled slightly even as the ninja toppled into her.

"Ow..." she moaned faintly as her feet danced about to regain balance before they both just fell in a heap on the floor. Finally getting their center of gravity, Yukari smiled lopsidedly down at the ninja who she had her arms around. "Well, that was quite the greeting."

Sheena's head went thunk as it hit the ground, reminding her that she already had a small lump on it from hitting her head the previous night.

"Ugh," she grumbled, rubbing the back of her head. "Don't do that, Yukari. I could have really hurt you." She was ninja, after all. Looking up at the youkai, Sheena gently touched Yukari's jaw. "Sorry about that. Instincts and all... I would have preferred a different greeting."

"A little high-strung, aren't we?" said the youkai with a laugh, as if it was normal to be as relaxed as she was in a crazy haunted mental institute of horror and torture. Getting to her feet and helping the ninja do so as well, she smiled at the girl's touch.

"Don't mind it," she said easily. "I've grazed worse shots before." A near miss from a Master Spark was a lot worse than a little punch. "I moved rooms, by the way." As if it wasn't obvious already.

"My mind was on other things," Sheena mumbled as she stood. "It's not normal for someone to snag me in the hallway, you know."

She was a little unsure whether she liked this whole room changing thing the youkai did. On one hand, it meant she didn't have to travel over a hall to find Yukari if she needed her, but on the other hand, it put the youkai only a few doors down from her and therefore a little too close for comfort.

"Oh," the ninja said, pushing her way into the youkai's room, peering around. "I was wondering how you got over here so quick."

She then suddenly stopped. "... please tell me you know where my ribbon is."

"I suppose the last time someone snagged you in a hallway, you blew them up, didn't you?" murmured the youkai with a thoughtful look on her face. Then she smirked and added, "For biting you, that is."

Yukari didn't mind Sheena peeking in, as there wasn't really anything to see. As for the change in venues, she didn't really see much difference in it; she was confident in her abilities to hunt Sheena down regardless of a hall or two.

"Ribbon? Hmm, I forget," she said, putting a hand up to her cheek as if she were thinking about it. The ribbon was hanging from the wrist. "Wherever could I have put it?"

"That wasn't snagging, that was near molestation," Sheena replied with a bit of a glare.

Her eyes then narrowed, seeing her precious ribbon tied about the youkai's wrist. So that's where Yukari had it. The slight jingling of a bell was the only warning Yukari got before Sheena lunged for the ribbon.

"Give me that!"

Yukari only laughed at the accusation. When the ninja pounced, Yukari was ready for it and raised her arm up and behind her, just barely out of the girl's immediate reach unless she wanted to climb all over the youkai. Waving her arm about, the fluttering ends of it were just maybe within the girl's grasp. Too bad for Sheena, even if she grabbed it, it wasn't tied with the kind of knot that would just come undone if she pulled one end.

When Sheena's fingertips came oh-so-close yet so far away, the ninja gave a frustrated little noise. What the hell?! This wasn't fair! She then proceeded to not care how damn close she was getting to the youkai's body as she continued to try for the ribbon.

"Yukari," she growled a moment before she decided that she was done playing. She wanted her ribbon.

Grabbing a firm hold on Yukari, Sheena dropped low and executed a perfect double-leg take-down, upending the youkai onto her back. If she was fast enough, the ninja would soon be straddling the damn youkai with a knee holding Yukari's arm in place so she could untie the ribbon at her leisure.

Either the youkai would learn to not mess with the ninja when it came to these things, or she had just wanted an excuse for Sheena to pin her down.

Yukari's smirk only grew as the ninja bounced up and down in front of her, swiping at the prize. Giving a laugh, the youkai was just about to make her move when the ninja's legs were suddenly around her and then they were falling back into her room, hitting the floor with a thump. That hadn't exactly been expected.

Sucking in a breath of air to make up for that which was knocked out of her, Yukari went to once more move her arm away from the ninja when Sheena's knee came down in it, pinning it in place. Rather than admit defeat of course, Yukari decided to go along with this new development.

"Oh my, Sheena, right here? Right now? I didn't realize last night's ending left you so frustrated~" she teased, her smile only broader than ever.

Success!

The ninja had Yukari right where she wanted her, fingers going to work on untying her ribbon with a triumphant look on her face. That look, though, didn't last with the youkai's words.

Turning bright red, Sheena froze and refused to meet Yukari's eyes. Damnit, she'd managed to go the entire day without the youkai bringing up what they'd done the previous night. Why did she have to do it now? And, worse, why did Yukari have to be right about the frustration the night ending suddenly like it did had caused.

"Shut up," Sheena muttered, resuming her work on the ribbon. "Besides, you like it when I pin you," she added on.

Yukari was right on the mark because that had been how she had felt, so she could easily imagine how it had left the much more volatile and emotional ninja, especially one for whom it was a first. She wasn't particularly thrilled with how things had went either, but patience was something she'd picked up during her centuries of living.

"I could do without the violence, but who doesn't like a pretty ninja all over them?" teased the youkai, even though she could think of plenty of examples to the contrary, namely, all those for whom that was the last thing they ever saw before crossing the River Sanzu. As the ribbon came undone, Yukari twined it lightly between her fingers, the length of cloth sliding between them as the ninja took it. A tenuous, ephemeral bond that would escape her grasp in but a moment.

There it was again - pretty. That word, when it was meant, had the unusual ability to turn Sheena into a girl. Not that she wasn't a girl normally, as much as she wasn't a girly-girl. It caused a shy little smile to appear on her lips as she undid the ribbon.

She felt weird as the ribbon slipped free from the youkai's fingers. Had it not been this specific ribbon, but one of her other ones back in Mizuho, she probably would have let Yukari keep it. But this one...

Sitting up and moving her knee so the youkai had her arm back, Sheena pulled the longer length of red from her hair. Holding onto the red ribbon with her lips, the ninja ran her fingers through her hair before she pulled it back, securing it with the shorter pink one. Oh, that felt so much better. No more ribbon brushing the back of her neck every time she turned her head.

It was amusing to see that girlish smile on Sheena's lips. She was just so cute! As the ninja moved off of Yukari's arm, the youkai scooted out a little ways from under the ninja so that she could sit up, propping herself up on her elbows before rising up more.

The youkai watched intently as the ninja pulled out the ribbon holding up her hair and tied in the retrieved ribbon. Her interest lay less in the girl's hair though and with where she put the red ribbon which indeed was the one Yukari normally wore about her neck.

"Well, now that you have your ribbon back, I'll be taking mine," she said before leaning up and kissing the girl. It was in order to retrieve the ribbon of course, not all to do with distracting or distressing the ninja.

"Hmm-mrph?" Sheena didn't quite get the point in Yukari telling her that she as going to take the ribbon back. She figured she would anyways. Her questioning utterance was quickly smothered when the youkai kissed her.

Sneaky, sneaky youkai, surprising Sheena like that. Completely unnecessary. Completely distracting.

The youkai laid her hands on Sheena's shoulders as she enjoyed the kiss. The look of surprise on the ninja's face just made this all the better. Her lips pressed against the ninja's mouth, and then her tongue slid out and between the ninja's lips before pulling the ribbon back to her. Her target retrieved, Yukari pulled back, smiling somewhat smugly with the ribbon dangling from between her teeth. It had been brief, almost perfunctory, but at the same time, the youkai was just sitting there in perfectly easy reach, still smiling that smile...

Somewhere in the middle of that kiss, a shiver ran down the ninja's back. This was bad; she was getting distracted. She had places to go, preparations to make, but there Sheena was kissing Yukari.

And then it ended, the ninja leaning forward in an attempt to make it last as long as she could before the youkai fully pulled away. Sheena blinked at the ribbon in Yukari's mouth, wondering exactly when she'd lost it to the youkai. If she had to put some gald down, she'd bet on Yukari's tongue being responsible.

Yukari was just sitting there, looking so very proud of herself for having left the ninja like she had. There was only a second of hesitation, more so her brain could catch up, before Sheena wiped the smugness off of Yukari's lips with a kiss. The ribbon was in the way of what she wanted, though, so she tried to tug it free.

And there it was, the ninja unable to resist. Yukari chuckled just before their lips met again, letting the ribbon go and be pulled out of the way. Her hands glided down from Sheena's shoulders over her sides to finally come to a rest on her hips, giving the girl a little squeeze on the way. Once again though, probably before ninja wished, the youkai pulled away from the kiss, a smirk on her face.

"You're getting distracted," she pointed out, her face still close enough that the ninja could still feel her breath on her lips. "If we pick up where we left off, I don't think you'll be getting away at all tonight." Despite these words, Yukari leaned closer, their lips just touching, not yet kissing but oh so close.

It would be amusing to see the ninja struggle as the youkai pulled in both directions. Sheena had other plans, Yukari knew she did, but the youkai was right here and the end of last night had been so unsatisfying...

Evil - that's what Yukari was. Evil for being right. Evil for making Sheena want it. Evil for twisting the ninja into all sorts of internal shapes. Evil for being so damn good. Evil for just being... Yukari.

Sheena indeed had plans, things she needed to get done in preparation for the pact proposal. She wanted that pact, but she also just wanted the youkai right then. The taste, the feel, the closeness, the connection, the... Argh! Damnit, why did this have to be so hard? Why did Yukari have to be so damn enticing? Where the hell the ninja's willpower go? She had warned Yukari, and here the youkai was, pushing the boundaries of where Sheena's willpower was supposed to be.

"I told you that you were distracting," Sheena commented, her breathing not as steady as she'd have liked it to be. She brought a hand up, her nails grazing briefly across the youkai's collarbone before coming to a rest on her neck, where she knew the mark she left on Yukari's skin was. The ninja was so torn, not sure what she wanted more at that moment. She had so much to do, but Yukari was...

"Oh hell. Five minutes and you better stop me," Sheena said gruffly before she took the youkai's lips in a passionate kiss.

Yukari watched the conflicting emotions dance across the ninja's face, opposite desires flickering in the girl's eyes as she tried to decide what to do. She shivered a little at the girl's touch, chuckling as her fingers came to rest on the bite mark.

"Are you sure you're not just easily distracted?" she replied lightly. She continued to smile at Sheena's internal debate, breaking out into a grin when it looked like she'd reached a decision.

Yukari was going to consider the merits of being nice and actually stopping her or not and keeping the ninja all to herself, but right now all she wanted to think about was how soft Sheena's lips were and enjoy the moment. So she did, pulling the ninja close in her arms and kissing her back just as passionately.

Of course, Sheena was easily distracted, but that didn't absolve Yukari from being distracting.

Predictably, Sheena's fingers laced into Yukari's hair as she was pulled close. There was quite a bit more clothes between their bodies, this time, as the ninja was fully dressed in her yayoi, so the close feeling was different. It didn't matter to Sheena, though, as she enjoyed being pulled up against the youkai.

One hand moved down the youkai's back, coming to rest at the small of her back. With a bit of pressure, Sheena moved to lay Yukari down on her back as she deepened the kiss. Five minutes. Just for five minutes.

Yukari felt herself relax at the feel of Sheena's hand in her hair, something she wasn't aware she'd come to draw comfort from. She let herself be gently pushed down, drawing the ninja with her as they continued to kiss. Her tongue slid out from between her lips, plying itself between the ninja's. There, that was it. The taste she'd been longing for all day, the taste of Sheena's lips. She savored it, knowing she only had a little while longer before she had to stop the girl. If she stopped the girl.

Bracing her weight on a forearm laid next to Yukari's head, the ninja settled down comfortably having been pulled down with the youkai. Sheena had been hoping Yukari would do that, not wanting to break from the kiss any more than necessary to breathe.

"Mmmm," she purred in the back of her throat as her tongue slid across the the youkai's. She really did enjoy kissing Yukari and, now that she knew via Soubi that she, herself, was good at it, she hoped the woman beneath her was just as pleased as she was. Well, maybe that was a bit unrealistic given Sheena had practically no experience at all in comparison to Yukari, but she paid it no heed. Comparisons weren't supposed to be done in these moments. In moments like this, Sheena just wanted to feel the emotion - feel the passion. Such a thing was timeless.

If only.

Yukari was indeed enjoying the kiss, though she drew a lot of her pleasure from the emotional and mental aspects of it rather than the physical; not to say anything bad about the ninja's kissing skills, which had been fairly assessed, but that was just how the youkai was, enjoying and knowing the sort of feelings she was inspiring in the girl. And the ones she was going to inspire.

Tasting the warmth of the ninja's mouth, it seemed Yukari was only going to take the kiss deeper, when suddenly she rolled them over, putting Sheena on the bottom. In that moment of surprise, she broke away from the kiss and the girl's embrace, sitting up and away from her. A smile, almost dark to the point of being cruel, lit up her face.

"And that's five," she said breathily, slowly licking her lips.

For a moment, a very long moment, Sheena locked her eyes onto the youkai's and conveyed exactly how much desire had been stirred up inside her. As she licked her own lips, holding onto as much of the taste as she could, it even looked like she might be contemplating some form of torture, but knowing there was none that would rival what Yukari had just done.

The moment was gone then, Sheena's head coming to a rest on the floor and she let out a long sigh as she pushed the hair back out of her face. keeping both palms on her forehead, she gave something that was a cross between a whine and a grumble.

"Yeah, that's five," she muttered. She had told Yukari to stop her. She had no right to get upset about this. She wasn't upset; she was just... wound up like a spring.

"Move."

Doing her best not to burst out laughing, Yukari obediently swung off the ninja, settling in place kneeling beside her. Locating her flashlight from where it had rolled away, she got to her feet.

Not saying a word yet, she simply offered Sheena her hand to get up, though clear amusement still played across her features.
