OPENING FIGHT :

Eiki

vs

Yuyuko


"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Nine Dragons Stadium!" Aya yelled. She sat in an announcers booth, crowd going wild as she spoke into the camera. "We're gathered here today to see who's the strongest in all of Gensokyo! Our competitors are rearing to go, and our opening bout is a strong one!

In the red corner: she's feared far and wide as a judge of the underworld! Her might is unmatched, and she'll bend your ear off if you let her! Let's hear it for Eiki Shiki!" the crowd gave cheers as Eiki walked out to the coliseum. She gave a confident smile, waving to the thousands of those gathered.

"Hmph," Komachi said, folding her arms as she watched from the lobby television screen. "Damn that Eiki. She's always so smug."

"Pay her no mind, Ko," Yuuka replied. "If we get matched against her, we'll just kick her ass again!"

"And in the blue corner...!" Aya said. "The eery Princess of Ghosts who once ruled Gensokyo with an iron fist! Her smile's cold as ice, and her stare sends chills through those who see it! Please put your hands together for Yuyuko Saigyouji!" the crowd again cheered, the undead members of the audience giving loud shows of support.

"Mistress...!" Youmu said quietly, watching from the lobby along with the rest.

As Yuyuko casually floated out to the battlefield, she and Eiki met eyes. Eiki firmly smiled as Yuyuko gazed disinterestedly at her opponent.

"Alright, ladies!" Aya said, approaching from afar with a mic. "I want a good, clean fight! Remember: these bouts are not to the death! Anyone who kills their opponent will face the wrath of Lady Yasaka herself!" Aya turned around, pointing to Yasaka as she spectated from an elevated VIP section. Yasaka gazed down at the three, giving a small wave and a faint smile. As Eiki and Yuyuko looked to her, they soon shifted their gaze to each other.

"Well, now. If it isn't the fallen princess! Your might was once great, but I know you've weakened much over the years!" Eiki said.

"Ho, ho, ho... oh, my. My first fight is against the mighty Eiki Shiki? I don't stand a chance, do I...?" Yuyuko asked whimsically. Eiki briefly paused, taken aback by her lax manner.

"...Of course you don't! Best you just give up now!" Eiki replied. Yuyuko shrugged.

"...Hmm. Yes. I think I'll do that," the ghost said. She looked to Aya, giving a casual smile. "...I forfeit."

The entire stadium gasped, Yuyuko hiding a smile under her fan.

"What?!" Aya asked, crowd grumbling amongst themselves.

"Ha! Coward!" Eiki said.

"Yes, yes. My opponent is fierce. I really must retreat...," Yuyuko said coyly. Aya blinked twice, looking to Nitori off in the announcers booth. She shrugged, Aya soon looking back to Yuyuko.

"...Well, now. This is a surprise. Are you sure you want to do this, Yuyuko?" Aya asked.

"Indeed. Everyone knows how deadly Eiki is. It would be foolish to oppose her," Yuyuko replied, casually fanning herself as she looked to the sun. "And this weather is far too warm. If you'll excuse me, I'll head back inside." As Yuyuko floated off, Eiki smirked.

"...That's right! Run like the coward you are! What's wrong with you? Have you no dignity? No pride?" the yama asked. Yuyuko stopped, turning to Eiki with a smile.

"...No. Nice, isn't it?," she replied whimsically, taking her leave. As she floated out of sight, a dark smile fell over her face.
