Hey guys, me again.
Nothing much to say, except that I don't own Touhou and other characters are mine.
Enjoy!
"Why not!" asked a girl, about fifteen - her orange hair was tied up by white ribbon. She wore a thigh length navy blue skirt, with a mid-drift of the same colour - a white flannelette shirt underneath the mid-drift prevented the girl from freezing. White socks up to her knees and black leather boots - tied up with strong fabric.
"Because, I would get into serious trouble and you could get killed." replied a girl, dressed as a shrine maiden. Her brown hair - when it wasn't tied up with a thin red ribbon it reached all the way down to her back.
The red head stepped back - her green eyes drilling into the girls brown ones.
"Wanna fight" asked the orange haired girl.
"Bring it on" muttered the brunette, brining out two swords sheathed at her belt. While the red head brought out twin sets of revolvers.
"Fighting again? Yuka, Mary." they two turned their heads to a woman in her twenties - her hair was light blue and reached to her shoulder blades. Her dress was one of a peasants, light pink and sewn in many places, brown peasants shoes covered her feet.
And her eyes were of the most beautiful sky blue.
"Karin-san!" they both exclaimed and hid their weapons.
"How are you girls," she greeted the two nicely. "I just came to drop some things off, oh and I made some blankets for you two - since it's so cold without the sun."
"Yeah, I wonder what the sun looks like" muttered Mary, her orange hair swaying in the cold wind.
The shrine maiden looked over the land that she protected, it was barren - there was a lake, polluted with the remains of an old mansion. Apparently it was haunted. There were old remains of what the long-lived yokai called The Bright Times.
It was a time when that dark layer of dirt never existed over the country. It was a time when you could see the sun. A time when the culprit of spring disappearing, a red mist covering the land and blocking out the sun could get along with the people who solved such things.
That was Gensokyo back then.
Gensokyo now is covered with pollution, a massive castle - the place where unfair laws were made. The shrine maiden before Gensokyo fell was amazing - Reimu Hakurei, a vandal of a shrine maiden who cheated money out of the residents with her powers.
There were others as well, Marisa Kirisame - a thief who killed on sight, she lived in a forest with her partner in crime, Alice Margatroid.
The unfair judge - Shikieiki Yamaxandu, who judged people wrongly. Yuka despised these criminals. Soon the government caught them and executed them, the ones who survived and are roaming around this day doing who knows what - they cast a terrible curse on Gensokyo. That it would be dark forever, and polluted.
The criminals had powers called spell cards and played games called danmaku. Danmaku is illegal, magical weapons are only allowed to those working for the government. The remaining criminals were deadly and ferocious, they defended them-selves - but strangely didn't kill any soldiers.
Was it because they were sorry and wanted to repent - but still wanted revenge on their friends?
No one knows, but the Bright Times was when the sun was out and people could tell the difference between night and day. When people could travel freely their only fear the criminals, the government were our protectors.
"Yuka-chan! You want some tea?" asked Karin, she turned around to see her boiling some water.
"Oi!" yelled Yuka, "supplies are limited thanks to that robbery from those criminals!"
"Oh come on!" said Mary, "They were alive 500 years ago - it's obviously impersonators!"
Yuka rolled her eyes and joined her friends, as she sitting down she asked:
"Where are Naomi and Hibiki?"
"Who knows?" replied Mary.
"Maybe they're in a government meeting" suggested Yuka softly, her blue eyes gazing down towards the ground.
A FEW HOURS LATER:
Karin walked towards her house in the woods, even wild yokai didn't with in five meters of her. Those who did died.
Today that happened to a yokai, it was getting cocky and decided to attack the human looking woman.
It jumped towards her as a dark shadow, white long teeth sharpened. Karin caught it by it's head and began to crush it's skull.
"I will...kill them...for what they did...for what they did to my sister, my friend...Reimu and everyone else..." she growled, her blue eyes turned bight red as the skull pulverized.
Looking at what remained of the yokai, and threw it in the bush.
"Karin-san! You left this behind!" she heard a voice behind her, turning around and acting surprised - her eye colour turning back to normal.
"Oh thank-you, Yuka!" she said receiving a blanket she was showing the two girls how to make.
"That's ok!" she said smiling and flew off.
"Close one" muttered Karin under her breath.
Yuka flew away, back to her shrine - being careful not to get too close to the pollution. She was terrified, what did she just see Karin do?
Karin looked helpless against such a large creature and yet she crushed it's skull like an egg, could she be one of those terrible criminals?
Yuka decided she wouldn't tell the government yet, she had to find out more first.
And there was no way in hell she was doing it alone.
