Description: This RSCP match brings two combattling schoolgirls to the heart of Barnes and Noble! The energetic sunshine girl Hinata Wakaba versus the musical mistress of elegance Yurika Kirishima. So.. Who's bright idea was it to put these two in a bookstore anyway? And whos wallet will get hit the hardest? (Winner: Yurika)
Southtown beware it is time once more for a charity match, fists flying for money, who could ask for anything more! The match this time is a scheduled bout between Hinata and Yurika, and it's location (admittedly rather hesitantly) is a Barnes and Noble, an exceptionally large, two-story building that's close to the Southtown Mall. The location actually made it out all right during the invasion, but the official's still made one thing clear, 'You break it, you bought it'. Stupid, cheapskate big wigs!!
It's around 4 in the afternoon, and Yurika has finally arrived to the large store, the stairwell to the second floor right at the entrance and back, with escalators in the center of the store. Registers toward the left, cafe to the right. There aren't too many cleared areas that aren't isles themselves but that's no worry of the musician clad in her usual blue with her pink armband. She doesn't need to bounce off walls to make her style effective.
Standing before the gathered crowd, she gives a bow as the announcer screams her name in introduction. And then the announcer introduces her opponent whom is... Hmn. Where is she?
It's yet another fight for charity! A fight to help rebuild a battered city!
Hinata was in fights for charity before it was cool and popular. Although her fight was also designed around selling baked goods at the same time, and it's goal was less lofty in its desire to rebuild Taiyo High instead of the entire city, but that doesn't matter. She was still charitable with her fists before everyone else jumped on the boat to be cool.
But just where is the perky, charitable girl full of sunshine brightness?
At the moment... she's still sitting at a table in the cafe with a wide variety of cakes spread out in front of her, stuffing her face. She's absorbed enough in her endeavor that the announcer ends up calling her two more times before one of the interns with the film crew is sent over to get her attention...
Of course, the moment word that it's time to fight reaches Hinata Wakaba... well she's up on her feet and rushing forward to face down with the musical girl.
It's true, Yurika couldn't deny it. When it came to charity, Yurika was nowhere on the radar. Hinata has her beat there, but oh ho ho ho, Yurika doesn't care about that now!
Yurika can't help but give a light shake of her head once Hinata arrives, a small smile on the elegant girl's features, ".. Miss Wakaba, keep this up and you'll be stuck in your friends shadow in the fighting world for a long, long time.." she murmurs in a somewhat teasing tone. Yurika opens her violincase and tosses it to the side, setting it upon her shoulder and her sharptipped bow is held in the other. "It's been quite some time, hasn't it. I'm very pleased to see that you're so active, and it's nice to see a smile on your face.. I know it must be difficult after having seen the news.."
I bit of a low tactic there to shake up Hinata's mood, but the musician looks sincere. After all, Hinata is the most dangerous in her sunshine mood!
Perhaps Yurika was trying to shake up the Taiyo girl with her words. Perhaps she was trying to gain some sort of advantage over the energetic girl that seems to radiate excitement and good vibes all over the place. If she was, she'd probably be a bit disappointed by the reaction.
"I don't care if my friends do better than me, I'm just happy to have a chance to fight!" From the tone of her voice, she sounds like she probably believes it. And that wonderful, big grin on her face doesn't even waver a little bit. It's not hard to see how a girl like this could help inspire her entire school. "Besides, there's no need to worry about who or what did the damage when we're here doing so much to fix things! Thank you for setting all of this up!" And... well the bright smile on Hinata's face seems to grow brighter for a moment, the look on her face suggesting to anyone looking at it that, at that moment, they are perhaps the most important person in the world.
"So let's get this started and earn some money to make stuff better, okay? Good luck, Yurika." Just as she says that... she drops right into that super bouncy fighting stance of her's that perhaps makes it a good thing she's not very well developed.

Yurika.. actually isn't too surprised, though Yurika isn't entirely certain that Hinata knew she was referring to Ichiro. Alas, there won't be many more mind-games after that, come to think of it Yurika isn't certain she's faced Hinata before, so it may be a good idea to battle her at her best anyway. "A wonderful idea, Miss Wakaba. And please, there's no need for thanks, I should be thanking you for volunteering to take part in this project.. It wouldn't be the same without you after all."
Yurika gives a light curtsey, and then takes a more graceful stance, light on her feet, her bow held outward as if she were toting a sword, "I have an idea, sometime perhaps you, Batsu and I could go out for karaoke? Winner gets to pick first song, what do you say?"

Well, considering the last time that Hinata and Yurika met they did little more than sit around eating cake and drinking tea while gossiping about the other students, it's not too surprising that Yurika wouldn't have experience fighting the energetic Taiyo girl. She could certainly get a good look at her past fights from all of the official bouts she's been in, but... to actually fight someone is the best way to learn about them.
And Hinata seems quite willing to give a few lessons about herself as she starts things off by... darting toward the bookcases.
The sunshine girl launches herself up into the air, planting one shoe on the shelf and kicking off of it, launching her quite high up into the air where she whips her other leg out at full extension in a quick flip. That kick is... nowhere even close to Yurika, but... where's her shoe?
Heading right for the musical girl's face.

It appears Hinata has more energy than she even knows what to do with, breaking out into action first and then talking later perhaps? Well, Yurika is a patient enough woman, and besides she's too busy looking .. Well.. Perplexed at the shoe that's flying her way. She's faced some unusual attacks before, but this one is... Her bow raises up to her violin and the musician just shakes her head a little.
Perhaps she's looking to show off, instead of moving to avoid the flying shoe attack she instead.. .. Hmn, what exactly did happen? Obviously the sneaker indeed ended up smacking her right in the face, and then drops to the floor leaving the musician a touch dizzy. Following a few snickers from the crowd, Yurika closes her eyes as her cheeks redden. Geez. "...."
It's just one of those moves that people tend to underestimate a little bit. After all, it looks like she just didn't tie her shoe right while doing a kick that whiffing kick, its deception is probably one of it's most useful aspects, since it still doesn't hit that hard usually.
Now that things have gotten started, Hinata seems to flow back into the conversationalist while she continues flying through the air, right toward Yurika, "Well I just want to do my best to help Taiyo and Southtown. I can't fix stuff like with a hammer and nails, but I can sure enough fight to help make money to get other people to do that!"
Her path through the air seems to aim her for landing on top of Yurika, and she does her best to keep that up, aiming her hands for Yurika's shoulders while she tries to plant her feet on the back of the girl's head and slam her face right into the floor as she launches back into the air, "Do you think the karaoke place would let us sing the Taiyo school anthem? And maybe we could invite Brett, too."

Yurika recovers quickly enough, though it's still rather embarassing! "Admirable," she belatedly agrees, her stance returning to normal. Once Hinata approaches, Yurika plucks at one of the violin strings, creating a chi replica moments before the fighter plants her hands, so while she drops to the ground, the replication slams to the ground in a burst of musical chi.
And then if that weren't bad enough, there's a light blue aura emitting from her form, the musician squeezing out as much use out of the technique as she can, becoming almost a blurr as she stands and swipes upward with a trail of her energy following her bow, attempting to slam it hard enough into the other schoolgirl to knock her up into the air further, ".. Please, I'd rather avoid school anthems.." she murmurs, leaping up afterward to cross slash with her sharp bow, kick her foot out at Hinata's gut and then twist in the air, axe kicking to bring her foe back to the ground!

Wait, why is Yurika suddenly looking a lot less... like...
Oh crap
Hinata is clearly not the sort of person who knows anything about the power of ninja substitution techniques (not that Yurika is a ninja. That would be ridiculous, nobody is saying that), so she's just left staring blank faced at the suddenly not Yurika where she lands, since she has nothing to kick off of. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she notices Yurika and does her best to move, or rather tries to position herself so that she can take advantage of just how close her opponent is going to be to her, since not even Hinata's energetic legs can move her fast enough.
%SLAM!
That's the sound of Hinata's face meeting the carpet just like she'd been trying to do to Yurika. That's the sound of Hinata suddenly finding herself with a nosebleed that's already leaving a nasty stain on the floor as she pushes herself up off the ground. "Oh... wow... my ears are ringing..."
Still, she seems to have enough to get back up to her feet and grin, through the absolutely horrendous look of the blood pouring down out of her nostrils. "Wow, that was good. I barely even saw you coming!" And as she says that, she's already blasting forward, hand drawn back to the side of her head as she launches it forward, right for Yurika's face. Not out of revenge, but, just because of nice, sound tactics.

Oh Hinata did have something to kick off of, it was a very unusual technique.. She just didn't have time to. Hinata is quick, she has a lot of energy, but Yurika is extremely disciplined, and that seems to be enough for her to keep up with the other schoolgirl.. And probably do much more. And that is the musician's advantage of sorts, as no one would expect her to have the skill she does have, "I.. Ah.. ... Thank you." Yurika replies with a slightly concerned smile. Should people really be smiling after looking busted up like that?
As one would expect, Yurika doesn't like being punched in the face, the musician seems to read the attack easily enough and shifts a little to the side, the fist just barely grazing the girl's yummy looking hair instead, and Yurika spins in a wide arc, rushing forward to attack from the side, ".. I'm afraid that may be the fault of your style.." Yurika replies with a touch of concern, her bow raised to her violin once more, she swings with the trail of her musical chi behind the bow and again attempts to slam the woman into the girls side.. Though instead of the usual blue hue it's a red one it seems more.. Dangerous somehow, and yet still beautiful. It'd land viciously into the girls side, the chi ideally would slow Hinata's nerves a bit, allowing the second swipe at the knees to throw her off her feet, "Your talent exceeds the style you practice now. I can tell."

Well, nobody really likes being punched in the face. It's sort of a universal thing that people have. It just isn't desirable. That doesn't mean that some people aren't going to try it. Yurika just happens to be on the ball enough that Hinata doesn't have a chance to get it to work.
In fact, Hinata hasn't been doing well ever since she lost her shoe. Perhaps it was a lucky shoe. Perhaps that shoe would be useful now that Yurika's swinging her bow straight for Hinata's side. What's a girl to do?
In Hinata's case, she just whips up her hand to the side catching the chi on her open palm with a slight flare of her own energy to keep it from affecting her two much. This gives her at the very least enough of a chance to whip up her foot and catch the swipe aimed at her knees with... hey, how'd she get her shoe back on?
That doesn't matter too much at the moment, really. No, what seems a fair bit more important is the way that the girl is launching herself back to get a little bit more room. That burst of chi in her hand seemed to have left a spark, one that she's soon nurseing between her palms, "Well, a fighter can't fix their style up if they don't experience some of the holes." She doesn't seem the least bit bothered by her current condition, even as her opponent looks almost unscathed, aside from the shoe print on her face. No, she's far too busy thrusting forth that burst of chi, having grown in size and looking somewhat like a seed until... it explodes outward right near the musical girl in a sudden explosive blossoming while it turns into a massive sunflower.

Well it certainly wasn't a lucky shoe for Yurika, and as far as she's concerned it is long gone, now and fore- .. Oh. So it still exists. Yurika feels her brow twitch once, but relaxes as she nods her head to Hinata, again with a weak smile, "Well while that is true, it isn't a matter of you 'fixing the holes', Miss Wakaba. There's nothing to fix, you've already mastered your style." the musician offers. The schoolgirl proceeds to start gathering up energy, gaining Yurika's interest but she has to pace herself this time; attempting to overwhelm that energy may not end well.
Yurika slides back, she not moving too far away as she wants to remain as close to her opponent as possible; she can feel the heat of the chi in front of her and when it starts to fade, the musician strikes back, stepping forward on one foot then twirls, a reverse roundhouse kick executed to try and slam her pink maryjane into her foes stomach! "Your 'fix' would be to simply dumb down your talent. I'd prefer that you find something challenging for yourself."

Hinata 1/------=/=======|===----\-------\0 Yurika
Things are... not really going in Hinata's favor. Not in the least.
Yurika just seems to be on top of her game, and Hinata... well, Hinata seems to be not doing very well at all. "I don't see what's wrong with my style. It's the official Dan Hibiki Saikyo Correspondence course stuff. I even added some of my own moves!" Like... the shoe that Yurika doesn't care for. Of course, now Hinata is a bit busy with Yurika's shoe... as her foot comes flying straight toward her, Hinata just kicks out of the way as fast as she can, which isn't quite fast enough, Yurika can probably feel the way she tags the Taiyo girl in the shoulder, but it's not a clean hit at all.
"If you'd like, I could try something different, okay?" As she says that, Hinata comes barrelling forward at Yurika, drawing a hand back to the side... then... her other hand? What's she trying to do? As she gets closer, she attempts to whip her arms in around Yurika's midsection to hold her in place, whip around to her back, and then haul her up off her feet and launch into a suplex that... seems like she's a bit close to one of those book shelves. Success would introduce Yurika to Shakespeare's greatest works.

Hinata 1/-----==/=======|=====--\-------\0 Yurika
Yurika has found herself in a similar situation of course. During her match against Hotaru she simply had no idea that her foe would be so formidable, that could shut her down so well when it was brought down to the wire. It was annoying, but Yurika did learn from it, and she of course walked away impressed, instead of angered.. Like she'd get in the past. As confident as she is now, though, she can't underestimate Hinata. Her resolve seems unshakable, which is honestly a little baffling!
The musician gives a sigh, and a shake of her head, ".. Very wel- What?" Hinata gets behind Yurika, it's a suplex and a release, the not-surprisingly-light musician going flying back and indeed she goes crashing right through the shelves, causing a small avalanche of books! This blocks the view of Yurika for a moment who grunts and notes her surroundings. With a flip she redirects her weight completely, her feet press against the ledge of the shelf behind as she plays a very brief tune (that shelf just so happens to be supported by a rather portly man leaning against it) and goes rocketing back toward Hinata with her bow extended; sort of like Utena's final attack! Afterimages following her, Yurika attempts to plunge or drive her weapon at Hinata's left shoulder, withdraws and stabs at the right, an elegant dance of attacks following with a diagonal slash, "Un!" a strike under the chin, "Deux!" and a final sweep at the sunshine girls legs again to knock her over, "Trois!"

That... looks really bad.
Even as Hinata seems to shift into a far more fluid stance, more ready to handle what's coming her way, Yurika's moving in faster than she seems able to react. She's sent reeling by the first hit with the bow, she's knocked stumbling backward at the blow to her chin, and then her legs are blasted out from under her, sending her tumbling flat on her face and... already she seems to be bruising up rather nastily. After a hit like that, what chance does she have to get back to her feet?
...Ummm, apparently quite a bit. "Ooow... that one was rough. You had a good shot there." Unbelievable as it may seem, she's getting back up... and still smiling from ear to ear like she's having the best time of her life. This girl... has got some strange attitude, and her spirit doesn't seem to dull even a little bit.
"That was good... so let me show you one of my tricks," As she says that, she darts back for a moment, circling around, looking for a better angle before... blasting straight forward and in a moment, whipping her leg around in a whirlwind strike while her leg bursts out into flaming chi. But that's not just it. It isn't one kick, it's more. She seems to be moving faster and faster, wind whipping up around her like a tornado as flames seem to form a circle around her. The winds whip up all sorts of books, each one that catches even a glancing blow across her leg setting ablaze for a moment before flying out to sizzle on the floor.
It's not just the books from the already damaged shelf, some of them come whipping in from the other shelves nearby while the manager of the bookstore can only look on in horror as more and more of his merchandise meets an ignoble end as Hinata just keeps rising up in her whirlwind hits, all aimed for the musical girl until she lets a final kick fly at head height.
Wasn't this supposed to be a charity fight to help rebuild Southtown, not destroy it more?

"Thank you, you're not too bad yourself, Miss Wakaba. It's.. Almost a shame you don't realize your potential like your friend did.." Yurika smiles a little brighter again, ".. Miss Kasugano I believe it is? .. Ah.. Hmn, I think I've had enough of your tricks for one day though, they're not really.. Good for my body it seems." A polite decline but she doesn't really have much choice does she? Hey.. Wait a moment, that technique almost.. Almost looks familar! But what's with the fire! "W- Wait, Miss Wakaba! The books! The books!!" she cries in panic, she tries to do more than defend with her bow, keeping a solid stance that knocks her back but keeps herself in a defensive position, but she's trying to stop the girl cold! Unfortunatly it doesn't work well; but it's a lot less damage than should she have chose to dodge entirely... She thinks.
Hinata is given an annoyed look at last, ".. Nngh. Miss Wakaba! Please!!" she finally cries, and hopes to finish the girl before she does more damage! With a step forward, she raises her bow in the air, and across the violinstrings, then swipes at the other viciously... Though she's attacking with the pleasent-sounding musical energy that trails her weapon instead of the weapon itself, and staggers a touch to the side from the force she put behind it. .. Her brother does it better.

At the moment, Hinata's in the thrill of the fight. All of those books? Not really her concern at the moment. Yurika doesn't seem to think she's got a good fighting style, and... well you have to do your best to show people that they're wrong when they give you that sort of comment. She had worked hard and studied those Saikyo courses until she'd gotten them down!
As Yurika comes in at her again, Hinata really seems to have gotten her act together a bit more. She sees the violin, and just ignores it. The violin isn't coming for her, no. It's that weird energy that follows along. Her hands both flash up in front of her in a moment, letting out a quick blast of her own chi to help ward them off, keep them from overtaking her.
"It's not a bunch of tricks, this is a real fighting style. Just because it's not like everyone else's doesn't mean it's bad." As she says this, she's smiling brightly, giving Yurika a warm, friendly grin that seems out of place in the current situation. "So I can't let this be over yet, let me show you what else I can do!"
Another burst of speed send her flying in lower, trying to get in under Yurika's guard as she draws her fist back and down, clenching it tight in one moment to cause it to suddenly explode into even more flaming chi. "SHOYOUKEN!" she shouts as she goes barrelling up into an uppercut that spirals upward, dragging flame behind it like some rising dragon as it launches on a collision course with Yurika's chin.

Yurika, on the other hand, doesn't seem to believe Hinata understands what Yurika is trying to say. Not surprisingly, of course, Hinata is pretty easily excitable, but thankfully not as hotheaded as Batsu! "Hmn, I'm afraid I don't understand, isn't your style based on looking similar to others, thus actually making it like everyone elses?" the musician ponders aloud, as she asks this the fist rushes close toward her chin, Yurika's teeth grit lightly as she manages to again barely slip away, though she brushes the fist aside with her boy, ultimatly leading the momentum elsewhere.
Yurika slips behind Hinata then, and if the girl doesn't move away in time she'll feel the strings of Yurika's bow rest upon her neck, "Regardless, I wasn't implying it's bad.." She jerks her string back sharply, not exactly sliting the girls throat, but the momentum is so awkward that it would send Hinata in the air spinning like a top before hitting the floor. But her movements are so elegant, her back turns and standing on her tip-toes, that it doesn't seem.. Well.. Completely out of character for her.

Well... it sort of it, but then again... "My style's not based on looking like other people's style, it's based on this being the one that was cheap enough that my parents let me order it out of the back of a fight magazine... I've done my best to make it my own..." It's a little bit of reluctance in Hinata's voice to admit that. She's also starting to look a bit on the tired side at this point. Not tired enough, though, that Yurika is able to slip up behind her that easily. With a sudden flash of speed, she rolls forward, up and out of Yurika's reach before springing right back up to her feet.
Strange as it may seem, Hinata really does look like she might be a bit on the tired side... or at least that all those hits she's taken are starting to slow her down a bit. Even slowed down, she doesn't look likely to stop anytime soon, not even taking a moment to wait before throwing herself back into things as she sends her leg whipping in from the side, aiming it solidly for the musical girl's knee.

Hmnn.. Yurika isn't entirely certain why, but once Hinata confesses the origin of her decided still the musician actually looks a little embarassed. Her cheeks redden as she closes her eyes briefly and coughs lightly, "I- I see.. Well, there is no shame in that, Miss Wakaba.." she replies, and then offers the sunshine girl a little smile, "You're doing very well, you've proven yourself difficult to take down easily, but I believe I'm understanding what you're saying now."
Shoot that girl is fast.. Shoot that girl is suddenly -faster-! The musician is caught off-guard completely, not expecting the schoolgirl to keep up her speed despite being tired and so while the kick does indeed hit Yurika in the knee, it's enough to knock her off completely and make the musician faceplant not so gracefully to the ground, "NNGH!"
"... That.. Right there was what I meant.." the musician grumbles, "If I were you, I would focus more on your part of the style, than what you were taught. You'll be even better then." So now what? Yurika is a little puzzled, it would seem to her that this pressure that's on Hinata is somehow giving her the advantage. Well, in that case her best bet is to cut off that advantage and, bow to her violin, she closes her eyes and proceeds to play another tune, a soothing melody that helps her focus her chi and study her surroundings, looking for that one blind spot of her opponent.

Well, what are you supposed to do when Ken Master's classes costs six times as much as this other guy in the back of your magazine? Sure her dad was a big fan of Masters, but there was no way that Hinata's mother was going to let them spend all that money so that her little girl could go around trying to punch people in the face.
Maybe she would have sprung for it if she'd known just how seriously Hinata was going to enter the world of fighting.
"Well... I like to fight. It's exciting even if I may not be as good as Batsu or Kyosuke. I'll always do my best!" She shouts this out just as Yurika starts to play, looking confused for a moment as no other strikes come in her direction, but... an opportunity is an opportunity even if it does seem a bit odd. The young fighter girl is suddenly blazing across the open space one more time, whipping up into a frenzy of motion before kicking up off the ground and into the air... over the musical girl toward the bookcases behind her. She kicks off of them in a rebound, using enough force that moments later those shelves go toppling over, spilling their contents all across the floor before knocking into another set of shelves and... well, needless to say the manager doesn't like dominos that much.
But more importantly, Hinata's got all of her force aimed to the tip of her shoe as she flies toward Yurika's face with her skirt whipping up in a manner that would make a number of creepier men not need to put their cellphones toward the ground to find out that she was wearing white underpants.

".. Hmn.. That is interesting, I don't really find fighting all that exciting," Yurika confesses with a light chuckle. Well, that would probably be way the musician isn't well-known in the fighting scene, right? Hinata is probably more popular than her fanbase wise. .... Though maybe that kick reveals the true meaning of her popularity? Let's not get into that. Then the musician nearly spit-takes, her hair going frazzled instantly at Hinata's complete wrecklessness, "W- Wh... Wh... M- M... M.. MISS WAKABA!!!" the musician cries in horror and stopping her playing immedietly! WHAM!! The kick goes right into and through Yurika's face! .. Wait. Through?
The replacment again bursts like snow into musical notes, while Yurika pretty much comes out of nowhere, rebounding off another section of a shelf (from the side like a normal non-destructive being!!!) and slashes with the wooden side of her bow toward the side of Hinata's head, "Please!" and then once hitting the ground swipes downward to knock her foe to the floor, "Think things!" and finalizes with her weapon raised to slam it down onto Hinata's back, "Through!" And please god let that be the end of it!

Whoa, that's not how this is supposed to work. People aren't supposed to just vanish from one spot while they still look like they're there!
While this time, the maneuver isn't quite enough to leave Hinata baffled, it's still enough to keep Hinata looking around for the musician girl long enough that she's left wide open to the attack from behind, with not nearly enough time to move out of the way. It hits her full on, cracking her hard in the back of the head, slamming her down into the floor, hitting her hard in the back, leaving her to shriek out in pain for a moment. She looks battered and beaten to the extreme. She doesn't look like she's got it in her to get up one more time...
At least not until she rolls around, stumbling to her knees. "You... you need to teach me that trick, it's really cool," comes her reply, somewhat casually as she rockets back up off the floor in a maneuver that Yurika should remember from just moments ago with her fist sheathed in chi as it tries to slam the other girl right in the stomach.
But even if she seems as though she has gotten her spirit back up and running... she just falls flat over onto the floor after her rise.

Yurika plays by her own rules! Granted, Yurika isn't normally so blazingly quick, it all takes proper chi focus, speed, and blind spots.. And enough time for her opponent to allow it. It's complex, and honestly Yurika enjoys complex problems. .. So long as she can figure out the solution. She'll leave the rediculous math to Kurenai.
The shriek catches Hinata off guard, causing the musician to lurch back a little, and then nearly falls flat on her back again once Hinata expresses her interest in learning her technique, "N.. No offense, but I don't believe teleportation is safe in your hands.." .. "At all." The musician once more has the time to press her bow to Hinata's imbued fist, and gently redirects the force as she skirts backward. However, quick as she is at the moment, she lets Hinata hit the floor instead of catching her still out of annoyance of her wreckless stunts.
There's a brief pause and then the winner is announced, the musician giving a small bow to the crowd, and then raises a hand to her forehead. Of Hinata's family is broke, then why is she burning everything up!! Obviously -she's- going to end up being the one having to pay for it all! "... Oh, I have such a headache," she Rita Repulsa's.
