I really would enjoy continuing on this story, and my idea is...well you'll find out!
CHPT1
In Team 9's underground base, Link was swabbing the counter of the kitchen area with a wet rag on a warm Spring's afternoon. "You've been working non stop. Don't you want to take a break?" Cirno asked standing behind him.
He turned around and smiled. "I'm just trying to make this place better for you, Yang and your friends. But if you want me to, I guess I can finish cleaning later." He sighed placing the rag on the side of the sink and Cirno brought him outside and the new entrance closed with a click with a moss layer was rolled onto it. "So the others are inside?"
Cirno nodded. "It's too warm! I hate Spring!"
"Well just think, in a few months Winter will be here." Link said and they sat on a boulder on the outside of the entrance. Link hugged Cirno. "Don't worry."
"Yeah..." She giggled and looked down off in the distance. "How come it's pink down there?" She squinted at it and it seemed to move closer and closer.
"Pink?" Link looked at the wall move more and more towards them. "I remember this...it happened last year..." He sighed knowing that a terrible thing is happening again.
"What's going on?" She asked trying to open the entrance but Link stopped her.
"Remember when everyone went against their allies and with their enemies? The wave was pink...Nitori's done it again. Don't open the door or else the others will be affected by it."
"I don't want to fight you..." Cirno cried.
"We may not have a choice. Whatever happens, happens. And it may not be the reversal thing. Remember the ears and tail I had?" Link held Cirno.
"Yeah I do..." The wave came right near them. "See you soon..." She cried and it went over them.
CHPT1
A few days later they awoke in Link's room in the base on the bed. "Well...I don't feel any different..." Link sat up again and felt his ears. "OH COME ON!" He screamed and sighed knowing he had the wolf tail and ears again. He then peered over to Cirno shivering in a mirror.
"I'm..." She looked at her hair and saw it was black and two cat ears were above her ears which were missing, and a tail was coming out of from underneath her dress.
" 'Mixed effects' Yeah that happened again. Damnit Nitori!"
Mystia walked in and looked at the two. "Well at least we weren't hit by that thing. We were safe like last time."
Cirno sighed and sat down next to Link. "I don't want to look like this..."
"But you're still beautiful." Link hugged her. "Don't think of it as a bad thing...Your wings are missing."
"What?!" She looked behind herself and they weren't there. She tried to conjure up a snowball but nothing appeared. "I can't use ice!"
Rumia and Wriggle ran down the hallway and stopped at the room and they looked at Link and Cirno and laughed. "We've seen you for three days, and it's still funny!" Rumia said smiling.
"Just because we look like this, doesn't give you the right to laugh. I'd personally wonder what you would look like in Cirno's position..." Link snickered.
"You're a mean doggy."
"It's not my fault that Nitori's messing with stuff again!"
"You're awake!" Daiyousei ran in and hugged Cirno happy to know her best friend's safe.
"Yes I am." Cirno pushed her away.
"Uh yeah. Can you guys leave? I understand that you're happy that we're ok, but please...A little space is nice." Link said and the other four left. "Did you notice we didn't see Yang?" He felt someone grab his ankle underneath the bed and looked down and saw Yang, hiding.
"H-How come you both look different?" He whimpered and looked at Cirno.
"We were hit with a wave again...I'm glad you're safe." Link picked up Yang and plopped him on the bed next to the two.
"It's weird how you look like you're in my family..." Yang looked at Cirno again.
"We still are taking care of you, so you're already in the family." She stared at Yang. "Staring contest."
"It'll be an even match sense you can't win against a cat." Link chuckled and walked out of the room with the eight etched above it and strolled into the kitchen, opening every cupboard.
"What are you doing?" Rumia asked walking in.
"I'm checking to see how much food and water we have. The sink's connected to a spring, so we're good on water...for food we have around two more days worth." He pulled out a bowl of fruit. "Don't eat unless we all know."
"Fiiiine. Even though I got all that stuff."
"You mean 'Stole'."
"Whatever doggy." She walked into her room and shut the door.
"And with that, the nicknames begin." He sighed and noticed the messes were back except for a few. "I guess Daiyousei does clean sometimes..." Link shrugged and cleaned the dishes and went back in his room to see Cirno asleep again on his bed. "Well you're there." He whispered and closed the door, sitting on the floor. "I wonder..." He shrugged and scratched Cirno's newly acquired ears and she smiled in her sleep. "That answers that."
"Link?" She woke up and moved over.
"What's wrong?" He layed down next to her and she hugged him.
"I'm scared..."
"Aww, it'll be ok. We'll get everything back to normal. I know how. Shock therapy."
"We're going to save everyone..." She smiled and fell asleep again and so did Link after he kissed her forehead.
CHPT1
Link awoke the next day or what seemed to be in his cave room with Cirno still asleep, hugging him. "At least I brought my important stuff so I'll have good fighting leverage." He got up and stretched, heading into the lobby and saw Rumia with her face on the table, talking in her sleep. "Couldn't make it to your bed last night?"
Rumia awoke with a spoon attached to her face and pulled it off slowly. She sighed and rubbed her stomach and moaned. "Too much ice cream..."
"Ice cream? I didn't see any of that..."
"You said that you had to start getting supplies, so Mystia went out last night and got a tub of vanilla ice cream and some other stuff." She pointed to the table and various sweets were arranged.
"We can't survive on this! I was talking about actual foods and other goods."
"Whatever...my stomach hurts..."
"You sit down somewhere while I go outside." Link said, opening the entrance to the base and closed the door and the moss layer came down. He started walking around and noticed the sky was a dark purple. "Well this is just great..." He sighed and picked up a few apples and went back inside slowly and closed the entrance. "Good morning Daiyousei." He said returning to the kitchen and sliced the fruit.
"Oh hello..." She giggled looking at him. "You look a lot weirder..."
"Yeah, I forgot you never saw me like this before. Go ahead, laugh."
"I'm not going to. Just saying you look weirder." She was handed a small plate with a few apple slices and sat at the table, taking a nibble out of them.
"Thanks? Watch out for that sticky spot on the table, Rumia ate a whole tub of ice cream last night." He grabbed a plate himself and sat down across from her.
"So are you going to stay like that forever this time or what?"
"Well if this happens a third time then yes. It's getting annoying."
"You're really relaxed with this..."
"You get used to it."
"I wonder what it's like."
"For what, to have animal instincts and appendages?"
"Well a lot of things...That's one of them..."
"It's not a good thing. It's like not even being a normal person...Normal for Gensokyo's standards. Mostly because if anyone scratches my ears, I'll get all cuddly and just stay with them."
Daiyousei giggled. "I'll remember that..."
"W-Why would you need to keep that in mind?"
"Uh...No reason."
"Then what were you- Oh please tell me that's not the case." Link hit his forehead when Daiyousei nodded slowly.
"Seriously? You want me as a pet?!"
"Well you are cute when you're like this..."
"That doesn't matter! I said being someone's pet is the last thing I want to be!"
Daiyousei sighed and got up. "Well...thanks for breakfast..." She slowly walked to her room and sat on her bed, Link followed her in and layed down next to her.
"...If you must pet me, go ahead. Because this is the only time I'll let you do it."
"Y-You mean it?" She held her hand over his head. "You'll be ok with this?"
"I'm fine. Just one thing, don't think any less of me."
"I won't! Was that the problem?" She asked starting to scratch his ears.
"I thought that everyone would see me as a wimp, letting someone pet me."
"You aren't. It's ok..." She patted his head. "Good doggy." She laughed.
Link smiled. "Yeah I guess I am..."
"Just tell me when to stop petting." Daiyousei giggled as Link just layed there, smiling as she was petting his hair.
"Well...Maybe this isn't all bad. It just goes to show how nice others are."
"Thank you." She smiled and kissed his ear. "I'm going to go wake the others up."
"All right." He jumped off the bed and went out of the dorms.
CHPT1
"So when can we go outside? I wanna go beat up everyone!" Rumia said with enthusiasm, sitting at the table along with the others.
"We're not doing that!" Link blurted sitting at the end of the table. "Have you seen how easily most of you guys go down?! Heck, the only ones that stand a chance are Yang and I!"
"If you weren't Cirno's boyfriend you'd be blind by now." Mystia glared.
"I'll forget you said that. Listen, the only time we will go outside is in a small group, as in three or more. Unless that happens, nobody leave." He said resting his feet on the table. "And we can survive down here. We have plenty of food, an underground spring, and there's tons of air and some holes that lead to the surface...Small holes, almost nobody could hear."
"And my plants!" Wriggle said tucking a large pink flower in her hair.
"Yeah...And do you HAVE to have catnip in here?" Yang asked a bit dazed.
"Heheh, you seem to like it a lot."
"Of course I do! It's just...That stuff smells so good..."
"Wriggle, lock your door please. I don't want Yang going nuts because of an herb. Regular mint's good enough, but catnip is another thing." Link said yawning.
"Whatever. Flowers are nice..." She took the flower out and sniffed it, smiling as the fragrance fill her nose with a sweet smell.
"We all have weaknesses for something...For example, Cirno loves sweets." He said turning to her eating a cookie.
"Guilty as charged." She chuckled.
"And I can't stand it when it's bright." Rumia smiled in her only personal bubble of darkness.
"Hmm...What about you Link? We have no idea what your's is." Mystia asked and watched Daiyousei giggle.
"I know what he can't resist."
"She knows one of them. Please don't share it."
"Well you do have that stuffed fox." Rumia said after a few moments.
"I HAD it. I gave it away."
"Why is it so special then?"
"It was the first thing I ever sewed. It was really nice and soft...I had to patch it up once."
"Ok, you can cook, you clean, and you can sew. Are you sure you weren't a girl once?" Rumia asked and the others laughed.
"Laugh now, but I can stop doing all three anytime soon, see how well you'll survive without me doing those." He said and smiling a coi smile and laughed. "That's what I thought."
"It was a joke. Can't you take one?" Wriggle looked down the table at Link and he pushed on his chair, and he fell back.
"I can take one, it's just I can retaliate." He said and the others stared at him. "I mean that I can send a joke right back."
"Stop using big words!" Cirno said hitting the table.
"Fine I will. Now that we all ate breakfast, we need to start doing somethings." Link said grabbing a list.
"What do you mean by that? Chores?" Mystia looked at the back of the paper.
"Kind of. Some of the stuff we need is actually going to be important, so I put it on here. I'll stick it on the wall every day so we each have a job to do until this blows over." Link said and stuck the slip of paper on the wall with a tack and a mallet. He walked away and was at the entrance of the base with his sword drawn. The group sitting at the table walked over and they looked at the names listed under a few jobs.
"Wood gathering?" Mystia asked looking at the list and saw the chore she was listed under. "How come I have to get wood?"
"I'm with you too." Wriggle looked at her name below Mystia's on the slip of paper.
"Probably because of the wooden stove." Yang pointed to the kitchen. "I have to do the dishes..." He sighed and hopped onto a step stool and got to work.
"I get to guard the door too?! Link's a walking arsenal! Why does he need someone else?" Rumia moaned and walked up to him and leaned on the cave's wall.
"And I'm helping Yang with the dishes." Cirno walked over and stuck her hands in the sink, wincing as the slimey water was on her arms. "YUCK!"
CHPT1
A few hours later, Mystia and Wriggle came back with a few logs and a bunch of twigs and were panting heavily. "What were you even doing out there?" Link asked and the two nearly collapsed and their clothes were ripped slightly in the back.
"We were...chased...for...taking stupid...sticks..." Wriggle said on the verge of fainting due to the amount of time and how fast they ran back.
"By who?" Rumia asked inspecting Mystia wobbling slowly and fall down.
"You'd be surprised...You can blame Yang's sister..." Mystia said muffled from the floor.
"Wow...Nitori messed up EVERYTHING." Link looked at their clothes. "Need me to sew them?"
Wriggle sighed. "Later...right now, I'm gonna try to get my lungs un-popped or something..." She slid downstairs and wheezed as she walked to the table and sat on it.
"Uh ok..." Link picked up Mystia and sat her next to Wriggle. "I think I can get everyone back to normal. I just need to shock them."
"Was that what you did to me?" Cirno looked at Link and shuddered at the event last year.
"Yeah, sorry about that...I'll go outside soon, it's only noon, I think I can get some that are close by back to normal." He said putting on his cap that he took off the coat rack. "Now I may have to bring them somewhere safe, if I don't return, I'm probably at my house."
"I'm going too." Cirno said triumphantly.
"Oh no you're not. I'm going alone. You're going to stay here and be safe, and that goes for ALL of you." He stomped out the stone door and it closed tightly behind him.
"At least we're not going back out there." Mystia sat up slowly on the table and shook her head, shaking out the dirt that was trapped inside.
CHPT1
Link was walking down a forest path he had crossed many times before and sat on a rock and took of his boots, rubbing his feet. "For being cut off from the rest of the world, this place is pretty big." He sighed and stuck them back on and kept walking until he reached a few scraps of food laying in the middle of the woods. He bent down and inspected them. "Obviously a trap." He threw a rock into it and the net sprung up with the slivers of meat that were in it. He cut down the net and sniffed the food. "Poisoned?" He took another wiff. "No...something that soothes the nerves...just smelling it is making me feel numb." He threw it down and kept walking and found another few traps, and set them off without anyone's knowledge. "How come all I've seen is fish or other meats? Nothing else but meat..." He shrugged and kept a steady step away from the area. "Better go to the mansion, I'd hate to have Flandre thrown out again..." He went into a sprint and was at the gates in no time. "And you're asleep, that's a good sign." He walked up to Meiling and stood there for a moment.
She awoke slowly and jabbed him in the stomach. "Stupid tengu, why are you here and not at your mountain home?"
"I'm not a tengu! It's me! Sheesh, blame Nitori for this." Link said gasping for a moment and stood back up.
"Oh. Heheh, sorry about that."
"Yeah yeah yeah, I'm just checking on everyone to make sure they're safe." He brushed off his clothes.
"Why wouldn't we be safe?"
"It's the same thing that happened last year, Nitori did the wave thingy with another stupid contraption she built."
"Oh yeah...I remember that."
"Well you're acting the same for now...Have you been awake longer?"
"A bit, like an hour or so."
"Well that's one of the lesser effects, glad you're not entirely hostile to me. Now to check on everyone else...Flandre's going to be fine since she's underground."
"And how does that matter?
"If you're in a subterranean area, you won't be effected."
"Patchoulli and Koakuma are definitely fine then too."
"Eh, for the time being."
Meiling looked at him. "What do you mean by 'For the time being'?"
"Nevermind that, I'll go check on everyone." He went inside and opened the door slowly.
CHPT1
Link was strolling down the hallway and went into some of the other corridors that were off-path to the basement, after that he jumped down the flight of stairs and walked to the library and so Patchoulli reading a book as usual. "Hello." He said coming in.
"Let me guess...You need an antidote?" She said giving a slight chuckle at him.
"No, I have some." He held up two vials that were half-filled with the red liquid. "I'm just checking on everyone to make sure they're fine. And if not, I'll just shock 'em and get them back to normal."
"I see...Nitori's up to her hijinks again?"
"Kinda. This time I think she did it on purpose. Well I see you two are ok, I'll be checking on Flandre." He walked out of the library and went down the corridor and knocked on the door, Flandre answered and smiled brightly.
"Yay! You're here!" She giggled and pulled Link inside the room.
"I know, I know. I'm only here for a few minutes though."
"So? I'm happy now!"
"Well that's good. Next time if it's not me who knocks on the door, don't answer it." Link sighed.
"I know when it's you! So...you're going again?"
"I have to, I'm sorry." He walked to the door and opened it, about to head out.
"Puppy..." Flandre said in a depressed tone.
"Yes?"
"...Be careful...Please."
Link smiled and laughed. "I will be, don't worry!" He left and closed the door slowly after saying goodbye.
Flandre sighed and flew to the door, about to open it then stopped. "He'll be back...he always comes back."
CHPT1
"Why am I still in here?" He thought and kept on walking down the halls of the mansion and watched a knife as it flew towards him and was stuck in the wall. "Well now I have another..." He sighed and Sakuya appeared next to him and giggled.
"So how are you today?"
"Uh...fine?" He looked at her, tilting his head. "Oh duh, I forget, she rarely goes downstairs..."
"Good...Good." She smiled at took out the knife. "You thought I was going to kill you, didn't you?"
"Why wouldn't you try?!" He was about to run away but Sakuya held onto the back of the collar of his shirt. "Please let go."
"Why? I don't want you to run away."
"W-What the heck are you thinking?" Link said startled with the situation and prepared to shock her.
"I'm just thinking normally...I'd prefer working for you."
Link stood there for a moment. "You have Remilia and Flandre."
"Gah, don't remind me!"
"Wait what?"
"You always look exhausted, you sleep nearly as long as Meiling..."
"So?! Ok, I've heard enough." He grabbed onto her shoulders and electrocuted her. "You're lucky I got you first, sheesh what would they do without you?" He smiled and walked outside.
"Did you get the others back to normal?" Meiling asked with a deep yawn.
"Yeah, it was fairly easy."
"Thanks."
"Well for what?"
"You DID get Remilia right?"
"Patchy said she'd get her later. I'm going now." He waved and walked away towards his home.
CHPT1
Link walked into his house and smiled looking at the whole structure still in-tact, even a simple attack by one of Gensokyo's inhabitants could knock it down, even the fairies. "Well, I'm glad this is still standing." He sat on the couch until he heard some crashes coming from the kitchen. He bolted up and ran in, and saw Suika trying to unlock a cabinet. "Excuse me!"
"Oh hey, you got the key?" She said kicking the cabinet.
"Why are you here? Can't you just bother Reimu for that stuff? I only buy it because some of my friends like it."
"You've got drinks, and she's just grumpy lately. So you got the key or not?" Suika walked up to Link.
"You're not getting anything, I'm saving them."
"Come on, just one bottle." She whined.
"No. Now come on! Get out of my house!" He shoved her and she stumbled into the door.
"You're already drunk."
"I am?" She shrugged. "Whatever. Come on, one for the road?"
"You're still the same." He sighed. "Fine." He unlocked the cabinet and handed her a bottle. "That's all you're getting."
"Thanks." She smiled, really tipsy and stumbled out the back door and sat in the middle of the field.
"Good, she's out of my hair for now...She broke a window?" He picked up some pieces of glass and went into a storage room and replaced the window, looking outside he watched Suika make grass angels after taking a few swigs of the bottle and laughed.
"I have a drunk in my backyard. How can this day get any worse?" Link sighed and walked outside and looked down at Suika. "I locked up the house. Enjoy this." He dropped a cookie down at her and walked back to the base.
CHPT1
Chapter 1 done! Man I love adding a sequel to stories! Did you enjoy that last bit with Suika? Hope you did! Chapter 2 will come soon, enjoy!
