This is my first Fanfiction! *Girlish squeal*
Constructive feedback is MORE than welcome, so long as it stays CONSTRUCTIVE, mkay?

This IS an "Original Character" story, but don't worry, canon characters will be introduced later on. And before you start screaming "Mary Sue!", these characters are intended to be more of the villainous, anti-hero types. Except Jodith. Pooor Jodith.

I'm intending to make this a longer story, 10+ chapter kind of thing.

Well, without further ado, the story begins.

"Have you heard of Gensokyou?" the hooded figure spoke into his notebook.

He sat upon a ledge high up in the mountains, overlooking a small village. The area was covered in dense forest, shadows swallowing the surroundings, the few street lamps present in the wooden village just barely staving away the gluttonous shroud. Large birds with strange forms soared through the sky, screeches escaping from their terrible beaks.

"Yeah. Yeah, I've heard of it. Only bits and pieces though. It's full of yokai and shit, right? Like a fucking spirit resort?" the tall man said to the glowing skull floating next to him.

He strolled absent-mindedly through the back streets of an old, European city. The houses were beautiful, delicate stone intertwined by marble forming the base layouts, and solid mahogany sculpted into doors, steps, and gates. He was alone, the only living being an occasional cat or pigeon that scampered across a roof, or under a stairwell. His bare feet slapped the ground with surprising force, glass shards and rubble unable to pierce it.

"Aye, 've 'eard of tha' land. In fact, I have attempted to enter it a handful of times, but the barrier they have constructed is far too powerful. Even my super-duper-powerful 'Kami no suteppu' (Step of God) isn't doing anything, you guys!" the creature whispered into its shoulder, which had a small face coming out of it. Its voice fluctuated randomly, assuming vastly different personas with each sentence.

It crouched on top of two bamboo stalks, peering through the light green trunks. The dawn was just arriving, providing enough light to illuminate a giant muscular beast lumbering through the forest. It was covered in fur and dried blood, and smashed through the bamboo with no particular issue. The monster glanced around, looking for the thing that had attacked it. A look left, a look right, and the slightly more humanoid of the pair saw its chance. Its feet left the bamboo and landed next to the beast, which was, after a quick slash, cut in two. It fell to the ground without so much as a whimper.

"Gensokyou. Uhhh… the name sounds kinda dangerous… but also kinda nice. I don't really know it, besides the scary but nice part." the girl whined to… no one.

She sat in a calm river, her simple clothing soaking in the light blue water. The plains surrounding it were lush yet simple, just having been harvested and picked, now awaiting the re-planting process. The flat ground was home to no human bastardization, save the humble shack sitting on a nearby hill. Mountains rose up in the southwest, and the faint blue line signifying the ocean lay across the northeast horizon.

"Two out of three isn't bad. I will explain the details to you off-screen, Jodith, but the basic idea is that it is a place where all matter of yokai - which are supernatural beings - reside. One can find almost every kind of spirit, god, or demon imaginable there, if one looks hard enough. It is very dangerous, yes, but also a very wondrous place, full of amazing landscapes and collections of the most unique creatures in - and out of - existence."

"Goddammit, we don't need the fucking exposition. Jody doesn't need to know shit. You KNOW you can just toss her ass in there and she'll be fan-fucking-tastic."

"Exposition is quite necessary, Tenedim. This isn't the kind of trip one takes lightly. There are many there who can easily match you in combat."

"EHEHEHE! Welllllll, my little DARLINGS, doesn't that sound just WONDERFUL? Gettin' real bored of the stuff I have'ta fight 'round here. If your words truly indicate that we shall be shortly departing for this 'Gensokyou', then I for one am behind you 100% on this marvelous idea, sir."

"As I knew you would, Gnashar."

"Um… guys?"

"WHAT?"

"Yes?"

"Hm?"

"Doesn't this seem kinda… sudden? I mean, if it's really that dangerous, maybe we should, like, prepare first? You know, get some supplies, set up a place to stay while we visit, maybe see if we can get a tour guide or something?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"G-guys?"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Hehehe…"

"Kukukukuku…"

"W-what? Why a-are you guys laughing?"

"Well then, I do believe we have an agreement. I'll bring you three to Gensokyou. 36 hours sound like enough time to prepare?"

"Fuck yeah! Let's do this shit!"

"S-sure, but n-not just because you said so. Baka!"

"W-wait, what?! Hold on, did you hear what I-"

"Regular method should work, right?"

"Yeah."

"Da."

"… I hate you guys."

The hooded figure closed his notebook, severing the connection. He stared out into the sky inquisitively, as if viewing some difficult math problem. He pulled out a pencil, lazily drawing strange signs into the air.
It was going to be a bit difficult getting Yukari to let them in, but as long as he made her a "character", she wouldn't serve as any manner of threat. The real difficulty would be Reimu… he couldn't extend his influence to her, due to her "main" status…
Oh, well. They could deal with her when the issue came up. Besides, this wasn't a full-scale invasion. This was just a little… fun.

"Let us begin the story." he giggled.
