A/N: Yet again, I find more ideas from the RWBY WIki Chat. I get so many ideas from there that it's ridiculous. And it was the same friend who gave me the idea of Touhou school. I now present to you Touhou All Purpose Danmaku.
The skies were clear, fluffy clouds floating over as the sun shined its rays brightly across the land.
The trees stood stoically as only a gentle breeze whistled through, even as the birds rested in their branches.
Gensokyo remained in a time of peace, with no major worries, or even Incidents occurring.
"What the hell kind of an idea is that?!"
Or perhaps, not so peaceful after all.
At the Hakurei Shrine, the resident Miko, Reimu Hakurei stood, her sweeping broom in hand as a small party stood in front of her, watching them with indignation.
Nitori, with Aya to the side of her, exclaimed, "It's a great idea! See, we've always had issues with our delivery service, since Aya and Hatate would always need to physically deliver their newspapers to each recipient, and that would reduce time that they could use for more articles. However, with this idea, they would be able to send news in a quick fashion, and it would even create a proper mailing system in Gensokyo!"
With incredulity on her face, Reimu responded, "Giving them more time for articles is a terrible idea! Now leave before I blast you kingdom come..."
As Reimu pulled out one of her many Spell Cards, Aya played her trump card, "Besides, you'll get reimbursed for all the materials you use, and you even get a fine salary, since the mailing system would rake in tons of cash..."
Reimu paused, her eyes wide in surprise, her features locked in shock, as she stored her Spell Card and grabbed Aya by the collar saying, "When do we start?"
Nitori and Aya grinned as the former responded, "We start now. Gather materials for your homing powers and Yin Yang orbs, and we'll be ready to begin."
Reimu rushed into her shrine's storage area yelling, "I'll be back in a moment!"
Aya asked Nitori with worry on her face, "Are you sure that we actually have funds to begin with? I mean, I know that the boss approved of this plan, but the devices and manpower might already be straining our resources..."
Nitori waved off her concern, explaining, "Nah, it's fine. Yukari herself made an appearance while you were off writing another article, saying that she would supply the needed funds, since she also wants the delivery service for some reason. Why though, I can't be sure..."
Reimu rushed outside once again, with her seven Yin Yang Orbs, along with a large stylized Danmaku Energy bag, complete with pockets for smaller materials such as her ink, and the rest being used for parchment and such needed for her homing ofudas.
Nitori smiled when she saw the Danmaku energy bag being carried by Reimu, commenting, "I see you're using my Danmaku Energy bag design, how is it working?"
Reimu responds while adjusting the bag in preparation to fly, "It works wonderfully, since it's practically unbreakable and weightless, it's even able to change temperatures as I adjust it for different materials. Also, I can adjust its size by applying Danmaku Energy to it. How did you come up with such a design in the first place? Danmaku always seemed to be a combat technique..."
As the three take off from the ground, Nitori sheepishly says, "Well in truth, it came from an accident."
Aya takes over, turning to Reimu as she explains, "See, about two weeks ago Nitori came by needing to test out her Optical Camouflage Stealth Suit and some new weapons she obtained from Rinnosuke-San, called grenades, which explode after you pull their pins. Of course, we adjusted them under the Spell Card System, but the tradeoff for that was an increase in power as well. Regardless, when I saw a slight movement my vision to the left when she moved through the trees, I immediately attempted to take her out by unleashing an orb Danmaku barrage, when she tried to counter by throwing the grenades. I was trying to use some nonlethal ones to trick her, when some of the grenades entered a few."
Nitori continued on from here, "When they went off, I noticed that the orbs themselves were fine, but more importantly, I saw that the grenades actually rolled to the bottom, and didn't pass through. I called out to stop the match, and once I explained that I had something to test, Aya followed my instructions. From there, she came with me on my new research project."
With a chuckle, Aya commented, "It's true. When I saw that grenade roll down the Danmaku bubble and remain intact, I thought about how I could put a newspaper inside instead."
As the wind whipped past her face, blowing her hair into every which way, Reimu asked with curiosity, "So, this all came from a Spell Card Duel? What happened afterwards?"
The Kappa Tengu duo share a laugh as they recall what exactly happened. Wiping a tear from her eye, Nitori answers, "Well, that's a bit of a story, and we're already here. Perhaps another time."
As the trio slow down, Reimu looks out and see and incredible sight.
A massive city, unlike most of Gensokyo's older style of life, fitted with modern technology and powerful machinery. Large buildings occupied much of the city, ranging from restaurants to printing presses to armories to even a school.
Waves upon waves of Tengu and Kappa could be seen assembling various machines, ranging from artillery barrels to firing chambers, all in preparation of creating an Outer World weapon, its proper designation being the 2S7M Mialka.
"How exactly does this work? And what do I need to do?" Reimu asked confused, as the trio were led over to a makeshift literary station in the center of the camp, urged by a team of Kappa whom Nitori spoke quickly to, shouting orders to be given to the entire camp.
"I've got to be going now, as I must assist the construction teams with the planning and such. Aya, explain the rest to Reimu!" Nitori called as she walked over to her command station, a team of messenger Tengu following her, ready to give her orders to the other sections.
Aya took over explaining as Nitori began sending orders for the planning developments, "The Delivery Service requires a method to allow the Danmaku Orbs, which have been upgraded into powerful, nonlethal states by teams of Youkai crafters, to be sent to specific locations with pinpoint precision. We can propel them to their locations, with a specific airspace being cleared by Tengu and Kappa squads, but its accuracy is extremely low and the orbs are being damaged when we shoot them normally. We asked you because your homing powers have increased to extreme proportions, locking onto enemies of your choosing immediately, and with incredible, yet adjustable speed as well."
With a look of realization, Reimu said, "So what you want me to do is tag every single new delivery package with a Homing Ofuda, with a slight bit of power to track and guide the orbs which can be included in the Ofuda itself, whereas you give the orders to the locations, which have Ofuda beacons to guide them to, including a master beacon here for mail that would be sent here for others. And since my Homing Ofudas are a one use only power, you can charge people to purchase more of them, thus creating another flow of funds. Am I right?"
Stopping in her tracks with shock, Aya turned to Reimu who also stopped and said, "Tenma's beard, that's exactly what we wanted! How did you know?"
As Reimu chuckled slightly while walking into the literary station with Aya following after recovering from her shock, "Simple intuition."
A pleasant, sound proofed writing station met Reimu's eyes as she observed and examined the station for any discrepancies or errors even as Aya asked, "So, what will you need for the Homing Ofudas, besides what you've brought?"
As Reimu nodded in satisfaction before pulling her literary supplies from her Danmaku Energy Bag, she answered, "If it's not too much trouble, a few fruits and tea would be incredible."
With a mock salute, Aya responded, "Aye aye, boss! Be back in a flash!"
As Reimu settled down to begin writing the symbols and characters for the Homing Ofudas write as Aya stepped outside, not 3 seconds later, Aya came back in gently, undisturbing as she gracefully set down a tray of fruits and an ornate tea pot along with its customary dual teacup set.
"Your Tea, Ojou-Sama." Aya said formally, with a grin on her face as she chuckled slightly in amusement.
Amusement also present on her face, Reimu took it in stride, responding, "My thanks Aya. Now, I need to work on these Homing Ofudas, but you're welcome to stay if you like. I could always use the company."
Aya smiled as she grabbed an apple, and sat down in one of the other chairs, pulling out a book as she responded, "It would be my pleasure."
As the two ate their food and sipped tea in a companionable silence, Reimu continuing to delicately yet perfectly write the characters and symbols needed for her Homing Ofudas while Aya continued reading her book.
As time passed, an hour came and went as the duo continued in their activities, before Reimu asked while still writing, "What book are you reading? 50 Types of Danmaku... Why does that sound familiar..?"
As Aya dropped the banana she had been consuming onto the floor in shock, Aya spluttered, "I-it's a really p-popular book! It's about um, Danmaku information! Yeah, it's about the 50 different commonly found types of Danmaku smut-"
She froze in horror, as Reimu merely nodded and smiled, commenting, "How interesting..."
As Aya turned to Reimu and clasped her hands in front of her she begged, "Please don't tell anyone about this, I just picked this up by accident and then I got hooked and now I read it all the time and-"
As Reimu placed a finger on Aya's lips, she whispered, "Don't worry, I won't tell a soul~"
As Aya breathed a sigh of relief, she said, "Thanks Reimu, you have no idea how much this means to me."
As Reimu returned to her writing, she said, "No problem."
As night's gorgeous shroud fell and the day's beautiful rays of sun finally ended, the duo stood up, stretching their sore muscles and gathering their belongings, Nitori appeared at the door when they opened it.
"Oh hey, there you two are! How'd the writing process go?"
Reimu and Aya held up hundreds of neatly stacked Homing Ofuda, Reimu said with a tired, yet pleased expression, "I'd say it went quite well, don't you think?"
As Nitori squealed with excitement, she called over a messenger Tengu platoon, ordering the Ofudas to be attached to the Danmaku Orbs immediately, where afterwards the day would end.
As the platoon began to attach the Homing Ofudas to the packages, Nitori asked, "Would you mind if we painted the Danmaku orbs in the style of your red and white Yin Yang Orbs?"
"To identify the packages as protected by me? Of course not, go ahead. I need to protect the delivery service either way, since who knows what kind of mail, whether it be money or incriminating information sent could start an Incident..." Reimu mused, pondering the issue while Aya and Nitori gave additional orders for the orbs to be painted tomorrow.
Reimu turned to Nitori and Aya and said, "We can discuss payment later, for now, I'll be heading back home to sleep."
As Reimu adjusted her now near empty bag for flight, she left behind a comment, "Remember Aya, page 117 is the best~"
As Aya blushed madly as Nitori looked on confused, the former yelled, "Why you no good-"
The rest of her words are drowned out as Reimu blasts off with an incredible display of power, flying quickly back home in order to sleep.
As Aya recovered from her rant, Nitori asked while rubbing her right ear, "What was that about a page..?"
Aya laughed as she nonchalantly said, "Oh, just an informational book."
In her mind however she mentally fumed, "I'll get her for this..."
And all the while, as Reimu settled into her bed to sleep after undressing, she had an amused smile on her face as her last thought surfaced before she surrendered to the darkness of dreamland.
"That was so worth it."
