so hey, this is technically the first chapter of a longer story but I have no idea what I want from this

other than, y'know, Orihime inflicting herself on Gensokyo in interesting ways, but there's some things I have to resolve before I can really get working on this, like the different afterlives and all, so if anyone has any ideas how to resolve the fact that both canons have their own afterlives and shinigami I'd really appreciate it

but anyway, here's a taste of what I've got for this

enjoy


"all right, give me one good reason why I shouldn't exterminate you as a youkai and move on with my day"

Reimu stared hard at the girl who had just materialized in her shrine, daring her to make a wrong move.

the girl, for her part, simply looked abashed and somewhat confused. "um, well, you see, I was just experimenting with my abilities and somehow ended up here...where is 'here' by the way?"

well, that was new, someone managing to get through the barrier without Yukari's assistance. Where was that damned youkai of the boundaries anyway? this was her area of expertise after all. "we'll get to that later, first off, who are you and what do you mean 'experimenting with your abilities'?"

"ah! I'm sorry!, my name is Orihime Inoue and I have the ability to reject reality, I was using it to heal myself when I suddenly found myself transported here"

well then. "ah, that explains it then. You see, this is Gensokyo, the place where all that has been rejected by the outside world comes to live"

confusion was replaced by slowly dawning comprehension. "you mean I managed to reject myself? Oh I should have known something like this would happen! Why did I end up with the temperamental powerset?"

Reimu thought about asking the spacey girl what she meant by that, before deciding she really didn't want to know.

"alright, look, I can keep you here at the shrine for the time being, but sooner or later your going to have to make your own way around here. My name is Reimu Hakurei by the way, probably should have mentioned that earlier"

"Ah! it's very nice to meet you miss Hakurei!" Orihime grabbed Reimu's hand, shaking it enthusiastically "I'll be a great guest! you'll barely notice I'm here!"

Reimu kindly refrained from pointing out the irony of saying such things so enthusiastically
