Once upon a time, people at the Human Village tended to avoid going to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost almost completely. The easiness of getting lost for hours with hidden trap-holes and predator youkai roaming around was extremely high, and the only hopes of getting out were to see certain bunny girl or to cross path with the mysterious silver-haired woman who would led you to the old mansion Eientei were a rabbit would guide you to the exit path of the forest.
The only reasons why people tended go there were to harvest some bamboo shoots, look for the pharmacist at that old-fashioned house or to see the yearly Moon Capital Exhibition there.
And all of that was with sun rays still around.
Now, lots of villagers –mostly males, venture to the bamboo forest at night. Their fear of getting lost in it overshadowed with a great desire of fun and greed, only intensified after seeing a sufficiently wide path in the bamboo illuminated with paper lamps.
You may be asking why are humans now interested in going there and more at night when the dangers of said forest almost get quadrupled and the chances of rescue are reduced.
Well… let's just said that it all started when one day, the assistant of the pharmacist –who went to the antique shop, returned with a unique magazine of the outside world and said magazine ended in the hands of her bored to death owner…
-~-FLASH BACK-~-
A girl with some paper bags opened the sliding door of the eternal mansion, enters, closes it again and walks at one corner of the main room with caution on stepping on a rabbit or something worse.
Said girl had bright red eyes, light-purple long hair, a short sleeved white shirt with a red tie and belt that accentuates her figure, a brown suit jacket and a blue skirt with white socks and brown shoes, but the strange thing in her are two long rumpled rabbit ears on top of her head. That mixed with her generous chest size and fluffy bunny tail make her a living hot secretary bunny-girl fetish.
Her trip to the kitchen is an almost uneventful one and she gets there unharmed, she only had to avoid one little prank set up in one of the corridors taking other course.
Opening that sliding door too and closing it again. When inside, she reached the table and putted the bags in there. She let her breath out with a cute smile and started stretching her somewhat numb arms only to stop when she hears a soft click.
"Oh no…*gulp*" her smile died instantly and looked around the room desperately when the sound of rope being pulled reaches her. "I knew it, it was so good to be tru-EYIIAAH!"
Something moved around her feet and got attached to one, pulling it up violently making her hang upside down with one leg gripped in a rope while showing her sexy black lace panties and her soft bunny tail.
"GYAHAHAHAHAHA!" outside her hiding, a child-like girl starts cackling at the sight of the predicament of the angry older one in the floor grabbing her belly. This one is dressed in a pink nightgown, light-pink socks and a small carrot collar; has black red eyes and black hair that reaches her shoulders. She too has a rabbit fluffy tail and soft bunny ears but has almost noting of sex appeal as the other one.
"TEWI!" yells the physically mature one at the top of her lungs trying to cover her womanhood with little success and squeaks "get me down now, please!"
"Hahahaha, make me" taunts the other. "I can't believe you really thought you were going to escape from my traps, Reisen."
Just when the bright red eyed one was about to explode the sliding door opens and another girl enters the room while saying "Is there any problem here, Inaba? I could hear that yell even at my bedroom."
The new girl has dark brown eyes and very long straight black hair. Wears an elegant pink shirt with white bows, a long elegant burgundy skirt decorated with flowers and bamboo shapes in green with pink embroidery at the end of the skirt that covers her legs completely. Maybe she hadn't the same chest size as Reisen, but the air around her was of a foreign delicate beauty that compensates that detail.
"Ah, princess," began Reisen, forgetting about her panties to point at the bags still in the table. "the things you wanted are there, but I couldn't find any mandra… uh, the book titled "Moon Phase" with the characteristics you gave me, sorry."
Now next to said bags, the newcomer started emptying their content in the entire table. Almost all of them contained vegetables, mushrooms and herbs while others had a wooden chess table with its metallic pieces in another little bag, a blue tennis racket and so on.
Meanwhile, as the princess was in her business, Tewi was next to the still trapped Reisen poking her in the ribs "Hey, bunny-cow, did you bring my A&W?"
"Gyuh! Stop doing that, please." surprising the light purple one, her torturer stops and so she continues "Thank you, and if you are talking about those cans of weird not-so-beer beer then yes, but this time there were only a few of them."
On the other side, the so called princess was making a pile of "strange and funny objects" to herself with a headband with two fluffy white cat ears she found in one bag on her head while humming to herself "Neko mimi mo-de, Neko mimi mo-de desu~"
"Great! Thanks! I was getting low of these, y'know?" said happily Tewi now walking to the table locking her sight on the pile of seven brown cans next to the pile of the princess leaving Reisen behind.
"Uh... would you please get me down of here?" asked with a green face the mature rabbit girl. "I'm starting to feel dizzy…"
Ignoring bluntly her companion, the child-like rabbit girl grabbed her cans with her two arms against her flat-chest and started walking to the kitchen's door "I don't think so. Figure how to get down by yourself."
"B-but, If I use danmaku I'm going to fell hard on my head!" said Reisen in a storm of tears than only got worse when Tewi exited the room with a wink and a vile smile as her response.
"Are…? What is this Inaba?" asked the black haired girl making herself visible again for the distressed caught rabbit.
"W-what is what, princess Kaguya?" said Reisen looking at the back of her princess and owner. Forgetting about her nausea. "I can't see."
Kaguya turned to her still with the white cat ears on and started walking to her trapped pet holding something in her two hands, reading it. Only stopping at three feet in front of the rabbit.
Now closer, Reisen could see what intrigued her princess. It was a magazine "Oh that! Well, you see, after I couldn't find the book you asked for I looked around for something else for you to read and that one looked interesting, something about games and getting drunk."
"Out with the old, in with the gold, hmm…" mumbled the princess absentminded obviously ignoring her rabbit girl while she spoke.
"Are you listening, princess?" asked concerned Reisen. Her princess so quiet like that while reading something was never a good signal.
She remembered very well the last time that happened. How they all got worried (and even made a ruckus) about their princess whereabouts only to find her several hours later in the attic of the mansion trapped in the new experimental shady bamboo shoots of her master thanks of her getting asleep while reading an "interesting book" in her words.
Kaguya then smiled and looking at Reisen for the first time since her arrival with starts in her eyes she said "I like it."
"Uh? Like what?" said confused the still trapped bunny girl with a giant drop of sweat behind her head while scratching her chin and closing sheepishly her eyes. "The magazine?"
"Uhuhuhu~, yes, the magazine too," said the elegant girl while using the long sleeves of her shirt to cover her mouth while speaking. "but what I'm saying is that I liked it and I want one too."
Silence was in the room for like three seconds after de dumbfounded red eyed girl spoke again with nervousness "What exactly do you want, princess?"
"This Casino-thingy, of course." responded Kaguya as she stepped out of the room.
"W-what? B-but, princess!" started Reisen until she noticed the girl was long gone taking the magazine and her stuffs with her. Some seconds passed and she panicked remembering her current situation and shouted while flailing her arms around. "Hey! Aren't you going to help me? SOMEBODY, HEEELP!"
In and around Eientei, rabbits ran out of sight, startled thanks to the lunar rabbit help plea.
-~-END OF FLASHBACK-~-
Anyway, as I was saying. Now lots of humans –and some youkai too, gathered in The Bamboo Forest of the Lost since a while ago looking for the excitement of life.
A feeling they never knew they had but now enjoy and love to feel. Maybe it was because of all the colors and movement or that this was something done in the outside world, where all the things were done only for human pleasure or maybe because this made them feel a spark they never had in their monotone days. The spark of winning and competing. The desire of betting.
And all of that started only a few months after the day the lunar princess decided to finish her boredom and build her own casino. The Houraisan Love Love Bunny Casino.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or places in the story, Team Shanghai Alice is the owner of all, I'm just borrowing them, and the only thing that it's mine is the HLLBC.
Here we go... uh... I don't have too much to say. Oh right here's something: I'm sleepy…
Damn! Remember not to publish a new story at 2:00 am in the morning…
Heh, whatever, this is just a little thing that came to my mind after hearing Tewi's theme "Lord Usa's Elemental Flag" in the House Set of Phantasmagoria of Flower View.
This was only the warming up, the real action starts in the next chapter, or so I think and hope…
Anyway, updates can be very random and I'm not even sure how much chapters I'm going to do and with my stupid computer I'm sure something bad is going to happen, but meh…
Well, I have nothing more to say so*shrugs*… Good night!
