Author's notes: Well, here is my first fanfic, I do hope that you enjoy it. I will be writing Background Music's names to match the scenario/setting/mood. Well, please enjoy.
Chapter 1: Collapse of the Great Hakurei Barrier
Hakurei Shrine (BGM ~ Mystic Oriental Love Consultation)
"Ah, another boring day in Gensokyo..." A young girl said. She wore the outfit of a Shrine Maiden, the outfit itself being colored red and white.
"Yo, Reimu! What's up, da~ze?" A figure of a witch, a young girl as well, tossed a coin into the donation box in front of the Shrine. The box seemed to never have any donations.
"Ah, Marisa. It's just another ordinary day. Nothing big." The Shrine Maiden, Reimu said absently as she greedily snatched the coin from the box.
"There are no 'ordinary' days, Reimu." Marisa said playfully before punching Reimu in the shoulder, just to see her reaction, which was, disappointingly, a bored yawn.
Meanwhile...
Great Hakurei Barrier (BGM ~ Charming Domination ~ Who Done It?)
"My, my. What is this?" A blonde youkai looked at the barrier surrounding Gensokyo closely. It seemed to be cracking and was sure to shatter by the evening.
"Yukari-sama, what is the matter?" A fox-kitsune asked, carrying a cat shikigami.
"Ah, Ran. It's nothing in immediate need of attention. I'll get straight to it. However, I am giving you specific instructions. Quickly, put Chen down, now."
"Yes, Yukari-sama." Ran said as she put the cat shikigami, Chen, down on the ground, both of the shikigami awaiting further instructions.
"Ran and Chen, I need you two to go straight to the Netherworld, and stand guard by the stairway. You must let no one in. I have already given word to Yuyuko, she already knows. You will have Youmu by your side to assist in a time of trouble."
"Yes, Yukari-sama." The two shikigami said in unison.
"Good. Do not fail me." Yukari then dismissed the two with a wave of her hand. "Now to get to resolving this..."
Hakurei Shrine (BGM ~ Night Falls)
Reimu and Marisa sat in the shade of the Shrine, having nothing to do. It really was an ordinary day in Gensokyo.
An ordinary day until now, of course. Suddenly, a huge quake shook the Shrine, leaving it standing, but barely.
"Waah! What's going on?" Reimu frantically reached for her gohei. Surely someone, or something was behind this!
Just as a chunk of debris was about to hit the panicking Reimu, she was swept high in the sky by Marisa, on her broom.
"Thank you, Marisa. I now know the reason of this...the Great Hakurei Barrier is collapsing."
Stairway to Hakugyokurou (BGM ~ Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When?)
"Quickly! We must get to Youmu-san to barricade the gates to the Netherworld!" Ran yelled to Chen, the two flying up the stairs.
Finally, they saw a figure of a girl pointing the sword of Roukan at them. "Identify yourselves!" The voice said.
"Ran Yakumo and Chen, we were sent here by Yukari-sama to help prevent anyone from entering into the Netherworld."
"Yes...Lady Yuyuko told me about you two." The figure placed the sword back into the hilt hanging from her back.
"Youmu-san!" Ran exclaimed as the figure turned around to face them.
"No time for formalities. We must focus on the objective." Youmu said firmly.
Hakurei Shrine ~Damaged~ (BGM ~ Love-Colored Master-Spark)
"We have to go look into this! This can't happen!" Marisa said quickly.
"Well, if we are going to investigate, I'd suggest that we stay together. It is not safe at this immediate time, but rather, very dangerous." Reimu added emphasis to the last part.
"Well then, off we go." Marisa said, but rather gravely, not like the normal Marisa, who leapt at the chance of an adventure, this Marisa was serious. She whisked herself and Reimu off into the sky.
Post-Chapter Notes: Well, that's the first chapter, and it's pretty much all my effort. So I hope that you all have enjoyed it, and please leave suggestions/criticism, and/or any mistakes that I have made in Spelling, Grammer, Names, etc.
Thank you for reading, and I shall continue the story!
