Hi everyone that's reading this, thanks for choosing to read (or at least opting to check out) my first fanfic (Don't expect too much ._.). This fanfic is based on a large collection of Touhou characters from the 6th game to the 10th (Haven't played the PC 98 ones).This story has been forming for a while, so I ended up writing a lot. It's AU, but the prologue under this rant isn't...yet. Well then, please enjoy. ZUN owns Touhou project, not me, I'm just borrowing characters for a fictional story.

Prologue

"Yukari sama, are you here?"

The nine-tailed fox walked through the house, calling for her master.

"Ran, I'm over here."

A voice carried in from outside, Ran followed it and found the master she was looking for.

Yukari Yakumo, the youkai of borders was standing beside one of her gaps. Apparently observing whatever was on the other side.

"Yukari sama, may I ask what you are doing?" Ran asked as she looked at the open gap next to Yukari

"Fufufu."

This response surprised Ran a little, whatever was on the other side of that gap must be interesting if her master was in such a good mood.

"Come closer Ran, I believe it would be fastest if you were to take a look yourself."

Ran followed Yukari's suggestion and stepped closer to observe through the gap. A look of surprise crept along Ran's face as she stared at what was on the other side.

Yukari smiled, "Interesting isn't it?"

"Yukari sama, is that...Reimu?" Ran looked up, hoping for an answer to what she saw through the gap. This only seemed to please Yukari further.

"I suppose the answer would be no, that is not the Reimu you and I know, but at the same time yes, i suppose you could say that girl is 'another Reimu'."

The confused look continued to loom over the nine-tailed foxes' face "But what does that mean?"

"It is to say that person you see is not Reimu, but not entirely different at the same time. The same personality, the same habits, even the same manner of speech. The only difference is that the Reimu there lives in a different world to ours, which therefore makes her a unique person to our own Reimu."

Understanding began to appear on Ran's face, which satisfied Yukari that her explanation was sufficient. Looking down at the gap again, a small smile crept along the youkai's face.

"Ran, could you call Chen over, I've found this to be rather interesting to watch."

And that's the end of the prologue, I find it easier to understand myself if a story basis is set up like this, rather than jumping straight into the story, particularly for AU stories. Sorry to anyone who will end up finding this confusing or irrelevant now or later. Reviews and comments will be appreciated, I need a lot of help with grammar since I'm not too confident myself with it even though Word corrects most of it for me. (English is my second language after all)
