OST: Mystic Dream ~ Snow or Cherry Petal (Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom)
Gensokyo a World separated from all others where that which is forgotten in the world outside takes form. Years ago the Youkai Yukari Yakumo sent the Gardener of her friend Yuyuko, Youmu Konpaku to the land of Hyrule after she had a nightmare of a man on a horse attacking a young boy, There she met the boy Link who would be known as the Hero of Time and together though my trials and tribulations the defeated the King of Evil, Ganondorf falling in love along the way. Link before heading back to the past by Princess Zelda promised that he would find Youmu again and after 7 years his time he was taken to Gensokyo by Yukari where he reunited with his girlfriend who from her perspective only 7 months had passed in Gensokyo. Eventually the two became married and had a daughter named Miyuki Konpaku, who like her mother became was a Half-Phantom, eventually came to find Yuyuko to be a Grandmother figure and became friends with the infamous Ice Fairy of the Lake, Cirno. This is where our Tale begins 16 years later on a hot summer day in the Neatherworld and Gensokyo.
OST: Usual Days (Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody)
Hakugyokuro was as lively as it could be with two of it's residents gone on their second Honeymoon. Yuyuko missed the company of her friend and servant Youmu but knew that she would be fine with her husband and knew they needed some time together. Though she would miss Youmu's Cooking Yukari brought in food everyday from Other worlds for her to try and her current fixation was the dish known as Pizza which seemed to have endless combinations of what goes on it. She did have the company of her Adorable Granddaughter however. Speaking of which she was coming down the hallway right now.
Miyuki had Blue hair Styles like her Father's that goes down to her shoulders with a Blonde streak on the front her Silver eyes filled with a look of Mischief. Miyuki wore a set of Specially forged armor made for her by a Youkai Blacksmith Yukari knew along with the Sword she uses and her Crossbow which she became proficient in after some serious training with her parents. The Armour was a Teal Color with a Silver Chest plate over a Dark blue Tank top with a Teal Armour Skirt which had a Quiver tied around it with a green Ribbon, on her Waits was a large Light green Ribbon with Gold Embroidery with a silver rope tied around it. The skirt left the fronts of her legged exposed but she wore a pair of light blue Bike Shorts under neath it. On her Legs were a pair of Teal Greaves with a Silver trim with a Light Green Ribbon tied into the spot under the Knees that go over her kneed and stop on them Under these she is wearing a pair of Leggings that go up to her thighs and curve upward a bit when they get to the exposed part of her legs. She wore a set of Gloves n her arms that go up to her Elbows that matched her Armour with a Green ribbon tied around the Wrists. On her neck she usually wears a long scarf that has a Symbol of a Ghost half with the Trifoce inside of it like what is on the front of her Skirt but she is forgoing it due to the heat. Her Phantom-Half looked like a Dragon her Parents befriended and were forced to kill Volvagia, she has named it Volva in the memory of their friend.
"Morning Grandma Yuyuko. So what is for Breakfest?" asked Miyuki
"Oh just some Eggs and Toast nothing too fancy. Here you go dear." said Yuyuko giving the girl a plate of Eggs and Toast with a glass of Orange Juice
"Mmm these are good." Said Miyuki taking a bite of the eggs. "I think I will head down to the lake and swim today and hang out with Cirno. You have any plans Grandma?"
"No not really other than enjoying the day and trying what ever Yukari brings me. Go and have some fun Dear, just tell me if anything fun happens OK?" said Yuyuko in between bites of food.
After their meal and spending some time talking to her Grandma, Miyuki went to her room and grabbed her Swimsuit, a pair of Sunglasses, a Pair of Teal Sandals with a Cherry Blossom Pattern, a Teal and Green Beach Umbrella, and a Green beach towel with a Triforce pattern and putting them in a bag, she headed down to the Misty Lake and to a nice stretch of sand near a small cliff on the opposite side of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She found a place to get changed and changed into her Swimsuit which is a Teal two piece with a Cherry Blossom petal pattern that the top is tied in a Bow behind her Back and her Neck and the Bottom has a Cherry Blossom on her hips. After setting down her Towel on the sand next to the beach Umbrella which she set up she kicked off her Sandals, put her Sunglasses on the Towel, she ran up to the cliff took a deep breath and dived right into the water leaving her Phantom-Half to keep an eye on everything.
"Ahh the water feels nice. This heat wave has been going on for a while." Thought Miyuki as she swam underwater.
After a few Minutes Miyuki came up for air and just floated on her back for a bit before diving back down underwater in an attempt to hold her breath for longer. While she was doing this a certain Ice fairy found her stuff and decided to wait for her friend to come back and decided to pass the time by playing with her Phantom-Half.
"Come on Miyuki, you can beat 4 minutes underwater." Thought Miyuki before she had to swim back up for air.
"Darn... I think I was close... oh Hey it's Cirno, I wonder what she is up to." said Miyuki swimming back to shore
"Oh Hey Miyuki!" said Cirno
"Hey Cirno, you need anything? Fairies bulling you over your intelligence again?" asked Miyuki while drying off
"No I was wondering if you could join me and my friends in some pranks." said Cirno
"Oh... That sounds fun I have not pulled a good prank since that time we tied Mokou and Kaguya together. Sure I'll join you guys just left me get back in my Clothes and you can lead the way." said Miyuki
"You got it! I'll give you some privacy." said Cirno
After Miyuki dried off and changed Cirno led the way to where her Friends were meeting. The two of the went to the Forest of Magic in a large clearing where the rest of Team 9 was.
Team 9 as they are known are a group of Infamous Pranksters led by Cirno, Generally if something completely unfortunate and Hilarious happens it is usually their fault. While Miyuki is a prankster in her own right she occasionally joins forces with Team 9 for some seriously epic pranks, with their last collaboration led to the Hourai Immortals, Kaguya and Mokou getting to know each other more than they would like since they were tied together by the wrist for a few hours until Eirin was able to slice though the fire proof cabling that was used to do it. Miyuki would hang out with them more but she can't stand how 3 Members of Team 9 eat since they are known Human Eaters. The First is Rumia, She manipulates Darkness and often runs into trees due to blinding herself with her own darkness. The Second is Mysita who runs a Lamprey Shop and eats those who hate her cooking when she is not scamming them out of their money with her ability to cause Night Blindness. The Third is Wriggle Nightbug who like most Bugs eats corpses. Sure it is the natural Order of things but it still bothers Miyuki. The last Member of Team 9 is the Fairy Diayousei who is Cirno's Best friend with Ran Yakumo's Shikigami Chen occasionally hanging out with them.
Chen was not with the group today so it was just the usual Bunch.
"Hey Guys. It has been a while." said Miyuki waving a friendly hello
"Oh hey Ghost girl is here." said Mystia
"So she is joining us in finally getting Marisa and Reimu?" asked Wriggle
"Yup, With her mind and our skills this should be no problem for us!" proclaimed Cirno
"Your going after Reimu and Marisa? Tall order there, but hey I like a challenge. You know I have an idea that should make us some money. I heard the Librarian of the Scarlet Devil Mansion would pay pretty good if someone could get her books back from Marisa." said Miyuki
"Oh. We should do that it would be an excellent prank! Now where does Marisa live again?" asked Rumia trying to grab Miyuki's Phantom-Half
"I see what your doing Rumia stop that. Volva is not food for you. Marisa lives in this forest and runs a Magic shop out of it... not that I know who would come there other than Youkai since Humans avoid this place normally." explain Miyuki
"Oh so we just need to find her shop then. OK Team 9 and Friend Let's GO!" Yelled Cirno raising her fists in the air.
1 hour later
Don't say that the Forest of magic is not hard to travel though what with the Carnivorous plants and all. Still they found the Kirisame Magic Shop which they hopped to get in and out since the Ordinary Witch of Gensokyo is rather protective of her ill-gotten gains. By the looks of things a distraction would be needed to get Marisa out of her house/store. But how to do it? Looking in the window using Wriggle's ability to talk to bugs they were able to find out Marisa was testing some sort of new spell or concoction. With that Miyuki had an idea.
"OK so we wait for Marisa to test what ever it is she is making out, then Rumia you use your darkness to blind her and make her think it is an unintended side effect. While she is trying to figure out what went wrong we grab as many books as we can and hightail it out of there." said Miyuki
"Yeah that should work. Rumia get in that tree by the Window so you see when to use your Darkness then we will get in and pull this off." said Cirno
"You got it. Soo can I lick the floating Marshmallow afterward?" asked Rumia
"Maybe... now get going." said Miyuki as Rumia went to the tree to hide
"Are you really going to let her do that?" asked Mystia
"No. My mom told me Rumia did that with her Phantom-Half once and it felt horrible so I am going to avoid it if possible." said Miyuki
"Oh yeah I remember that it was after we took part in that Test of Courage and scared the crap out of her." said Wriggle
"OK whose Idea was that so I can get some payback on them?" asked Miyuki with a bit of anger in her eyes
"Marisa's if I remember right. It was supposed to be a Halloween thing. Your mom did not however need to cut us up with her swords." said Cirno
"Oh Good Looks Like Rumia is about to make her move." said Cirno
OST: Argue for and Against (Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody)
Inside the house
"Looks like my Invisibility Potion is ready to go! Let's test this out, ze!" said Marisa taking a sip from it
The next thing the witch knew her entire world went black.
"What is going on? Oh man this is one bad side effect... Did I put in too much of that one Mushroom, ze? What is that noise?" asked Marisa as she was trying to get her bearings.
The Group of Prankster went in from the front door and grabbed every book they could while Rumia kept Marisa busy, her Potions only turned her invisible and left her clothes as if they were floating so Rumia could keep her in darkness. After a few Minutes everyone left but Volga hit the edge of the door frame unintentionally leaving some ectoplasm on it. Once her friends were clear, Rumia dropped the Darkness and flew off to meet up with them. Marisa able to see again went to a mirror to see if her potion worked as intended otherwise.
"Sweet, ze! It worked... but why was I blinded?" asked Marisa as she looked around and noticed something was off. "Wait something is not right... Where are those Books I "borrowed" from Patchy? Wait Blinded... Oh I can't believe it. Those little Team 9 jerks got me. They must have been after the reward, ze. Well no one steals from me and gets away with it!" exclaimed Marisa in fury
As she headed out the door after grabbing her broom and Mini-Hakkero she saw the Ectoplasm on the wall and after putting some on her finger and tasting it she knew something else was up.
"Oh looks like Youmu's little girl is in on this too. Those Morons are too dumb to come up with a plan so she must have done it. Time to give her a spanking after I give those morons a Master Spark to the face, ze!" said Marisa as she took off heading first to the Misty Lake in order to intercept them on the way to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
OST: An Unpopular Location (Touhou 13.5 Hopeless Masquerade)
Meanwhile near the Hakurei Shrine
The Hakurei Shine the entrance to the world outside Gensokyo. Rumor has it that an exact copy of the shrine exists in the outside world that serves as an entrance to Gensokyo, but it is very well hidden. Team 9 and Miyuki were at the bottom of the steps leading up to the shrine and were planning their next prank.
"So what do you guys want to do?" asked Miyuki
"Well let's see we have some rope, maybe tie her up and hang her upside down from a tree?" suggested Mystia
"Well better than nothing. Man I am a little hungry... How about I go up to her and ask if she would mind if I had lunch there to distract her while you guys set up the trap. When your ready just make a loud noise and get her in it." said Miyuki pulling out some instant Raman from her bag.
"Sounds good to me. OK guys once Miyuki and Reimu go in the shrine we will start setting up." said Cirno
Miyuki walked up the steps noticing the shrine was quieter than usual. Suika was not on her usual spot drinking away. Reimu however was drinking tea on the porch of the shrine like usual after she is don sweeping the grounds.
"Oh, It's you. So what are you doing here?" said Reimu
"Oh I was just passing by feeling a little Hungry so I was wondering if you would mind if I made some lunch here. Where is everyone?" asked Miyuki
"Oh Suikia is bothering Tenshi, Sukuna I have no idea, and Clownpeice went back to Hell for a bit. It is kinda lonely right now... Sure why not I have a stove you can cook that up with." said Reimu opening the door
"Oh good. Oh here catch a Small donation for you." said Miyuki giving Reimu some money.
"Kid I have always liked you, you know that?" said Reimu
"Really? I might just come by more often then." said Miyuki heading inside.
While the two of them were inside Cirno's group was setting up the trap. After making sure that everything was set up right. They started to make noise to bring Reimu out.
"What is that racket? Those Fairies had better not be causing problems again." said Reimu getting up to investigate
"I'll come with you and bring out my Crossbow if necessary." said Miyuki grabbing her Cup of Raman
"Thanks, but I doubt it will be needed." said Reimu stepping outside
As Reimu stepped off her porch she stepped into a circle of rope on the ground that was immediately tightened around her leg and started to drag her away. Along the way the Rope some how tied itself around her body and when she was done being dragged up a tree and hanging upside down it, she was tied from her legs to her chest with a cloth tied around her mouth.
"Wow... OK You don't see that everyday." said Miyuki eating some noodles "Where did you guys get a self tying rope?"
"Marisa had it for some reason so I grabbed it." said Wriggle
"OK then, Hey what are you doing with my Raman?" asked Miyuki as Rumia grabbed it
"Oh just putting a finishing touch on it." said Rumia as she dumped the contents of the cup on Reimu
"NO! NOT MY LUNCH!" said Miyuki with anime tears as her lunch was wasted. "I am going to get them for that."
"Well we did it! we got the Shrine Maiden and the Witch! Let's go return these books to Patchouli and make some cash!" said Cirno as the rest of Team 9 flew to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
"Sorry Reimu, I'll come back and donate some more later but for now I need to return some stuff. Bye Reimu" said Miyuki waving good bye.
As Reimu thought her day could not get any worse a certain Crow Tengu just happens to show up. Looks like she is going to be on the front page of the Bunbunmaru.
At the Misty Lake near the Scarlet Devil Mansion
The group of Pranksters were almost at their destination the reward in thier sights. They were talking about what to do with their money when suddenly a loud Whistle grabbed their attention. To everyone's Horror it was Marisa and she had a look of calm Fury on her face.
"Hey guys, hows it going? Master Spark!" yelled Marisa
Miyuki acting fast summoned her Sword and used it to create a wall of ice in front of her to take a the b runt of the Master Spark. Team 9 was not so lucky and got launched a fair distance away dropping their books in the process. The Ice wall was pretty much gone but it did block the attack for Miyuki who got into a stance ready for battle with a cocky grin on her face.
"Oh look the Witch is mad we made a fool out of her. What ever shall I do?" Said Miyuki
"How about you lose and I get my stuff back?" said Marisa the Mini-Hakkero giving off a glow.
OST: Magus Night (Touhou 13.5 Hopeless Masquerade)
"Nah, I think I'll beat you and brag about it then keep this money for myself since they got rid of my Lunch by dumping it on Reimu." said Miyuki her sword starting to glow Icy blue
"What happened to Reimu?" asked Marisa
"Oh she is currently hanging upside down in a tree. I just wanted to eat my lunch then Rumia took my cup of Ramen and dumped it on her. So thank you for getting my payback on Rumia." explained Miyuki
"Pfft. HAHAHAHA! Oh man I am not going to let her live that down. But first business. Let's see how fast I can beat you. ORRIES SUN!" Yelled Marisa used the Orries Sun Spell card to take advantage of her version of Non-Directional Laser.
Miyuki switched to her Crossbow and started to fire Arrows at Marisa while avoiding lasers and Star Danmaku from Marisa While she was doing this she was leaving Walls of Ice in her wake that Danmaku bounced off of, sending lasers every which Direction. Marisa eventually switched to using Blazing Star and started to fly towards Miyuki full speed on her broom but Miyuki deflected Marisa's Path with her sword.
"The next words you will say are: Hey you can't do that it's cheating!" said Miyuki
"Hey you can't do that it's cheating! Wha? Oh crap!" said Marisa after falling for the trick and having to dodge a Fire Arrow which set her hat on fire. "Oh no! PUT IT OUT!" yelled Marisa trying to put her hat out.
Marisa flew to the lake and dipped her hat in to put it out. If she was not mad before she was now.
"OK! That is it! You asked for it! Magicannon: FINAL SPARK!" Yelled MArisa unleashing her most powerful version of Master Spark.
"Ha. Right into my trap! Enjoy your own Final Spark Marisa!" Said Miyuki making an Ice wall in front of her.
This ice wall bounded the Final Spark in between the Other walls of ice she made earlier acting like system of mirrors until the Final Spark was aimed at Marisa.
"Oh son of a- OOOOWWW!" Said Marisa as she was knocked out by her own spell and fell to the ground.
Miyuki caught the Witch and set her down gently.
"You should have realized what I was up to with the Ice walls. Oh well another win for me. Good luck next time Marisa." said Miyuki as she grabbed the books and set off to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
OST: Usual Days (Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody)
Later that Night
Miyuki returned Home with 50,000 Yen out of 100,000 she donated half to the Hakurei shrine to make it up to Reimu for having her Lunch dumped on her. However it looked like Yuyuko was happy to see her granddaughter return home.
"How has your day been? You look tired and where did you get that money?" asked Yuyuko
"Oh I had fun Cirno's gang and I pranked Reimu and Marisa and I returned a bunch of books to Patchouli so she paid me for it." said Miyuki
"Aww so that is why Reimu is on the Bunbunmaru then? I was wondering how that happened." said Yuyuko.
"Yeah then Marisa blasted Cirno and her friends away and I beat her in a fight by redirecting a Final Spark back at her with some cleverly placed Ice walls." said Miyuki chuckling a bit
"Oh that must have been a sight to see. About time Marisa felt whet her own attacks feel like. No come along dear we have dinner ready to eat and we got a post card from your parents." said Yuyuko
"Oh man I wonder how they are doing, and I am really hungry. Let's eat!" said Miyuki rushing inside.
And so ends the tale of the time Reimu and Marisa got pranked a young Half-Phantom and her friends. But this is Gensokyo after all who knows what will happen next?
Author's Note
Well I do but that will be for tomorrow.
Yukari: So a few Pranks not a bad way to introduce a character.
Hades: OK you ripped off Jojo's Bizarre Adventure there didn't you?
Yes I did Hades. I also got inspiration for the Prank on Reimu from another Touhou fic called Imperfect Metaporphisis by TakerFoxx. Give that story a read some time. Be warned it gets pretty dark really quick. Also feel free to ask me Questions and send in Suggestions I'll take them into consideration. Oh and Reviews I'll take all kinds... Except flamers. Some constructive criticism I am fine with but bashing someone for their hard work is crossing the line. If you wish you can also send a Question to the OCs as well and they will answer it to the best of their ability.
Until next time, this is Cody the Worldwalker signing out!
