Automatic transmission fluid (a kind of hydraulic fluid, incidentally) is also red. As is cranberry juice. Just because Yuki is full of red fluid does not mean that it is blood. Given that she can manufacture nanomachines to inject into a delicious Mikuru on-demand would suggest that she's a human-shaped swarm of sufficiently-advanced nanotechnology. She may have red internal fluid for the simple fact that skin is not completely opaque, and that if she had, say green fluids, her skin would take on an unmistakably bizarre greenish tint.

Her actual consciousness is probably not in the 4 dimensions as we know it, so the body is a normal human girl for intensive purposes. She simply manipulates her body in the same way she does the environment. If she needs to move fast she changes her body to move faster. If she wanted to fly, she could modify her body mass or directly change the gravity around her. But when she isn't doing anything special, her body is just that of a normal girl.

Are you saying that Yuki is a sort of zombie?
The wounds she sustains in the fight with Ryoko are all of the sort that give you a few seconds of conscious action before the blood pressure in your brain goes to zero on the account that the shredded remains of your heart aren't pumping anymore, and your lungs and chest cavity have filled with blood.

How Ryoko was killed was not physical in nature. Her body literally dematerialized and what actually happened to her consciousness isn't known. Unless someone remembers the novels better then me and say for sure that she was actually "dead" for all intensive purposes. Also note that while her body was dematerializing she was able to still speak. In fact, she showed no (outward) signs of cognitive depletion as thus her speech was not slurred or distorted from the process. Which might show that she never actually "died". Just removed from the planet/galaxy/dimension. Who's to say she can't come back? Ya never know!
That's my theory anyway.

A minor nitpick, but it's "intents and purposes." Kyon speculates on the fate of Ryoko
