"I actually surprise that nobody decide to make crossover Touhou X Kancolle yet, considered the vast area of two series with many points to be joint. In reality, Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio should has the most crossover as they're warship series. But nevermind that.
So I select the poor Kisaragi, who was fated to be sacrificed for the sake of bloody rating in episode 3 like a certain magical girl show (If you know what I mean), to be the main character along with Fubuki gang.
Youkai VS Warship…. Hmm… interesting! It might work somehow; base on the imaginary power to manipulate boundaries "
Yakumo Yukari
Chapter 1: Wrong Afterlife
Cold…..
The only feeling that she, Second-Mutsuki-class Destroyer, felt before her consciousness faded into oblivion as a result from her enemy bomber's last attempt attack. As a ship girl, she had no idea how the afterlife look like; she knew that her own being is artificial, but she doubt that her soul had the right to enter the cycle of rebirth? If that was possible, she could not be waiting to be reborn as she feared that she would miss a chance to be with her sister and her friends forever, she wanted to be resurrected this instant. She didn't care what she herself will become: zombie, goule, dead apostle, whatever!
She just wanted to meet with her sister and everyone at the naval base, cleared out all the Abyssal Fleet roaming around the world as soon as possible. Her utopia was just that she herself along with other ship girls were released from this duty and continue their happy-going life to the fullest.
But all of it didn't matter by now, did it?
She woke up somewhere in an unknown cherry blossom garden. She was very confused; what was this place? Was this the afterlife? She was not sure, but the peaceful scene made her at ease somehow. She started walking around to find out more information about this place, no matter the further she kept walking, she felt that she was getting nowhere out of this seem-to-be infinite garden. Until she heard two pair of foot step approached her from some distant behind.
Saigyouji Yuyuko and her gardener, Konpaku Youmu, were having green tea and watching cherry blossom bloomed in their free time. Along the way back to their Hakugyokurou, they encounter with a mysterious girl; worn white shirt with green collar and green trim sleeve, green thigh-length skirt, strange hairpin, black shin-length sock and brown shoes, long-brown hair and brown eyes. She looked like a normal first-year high school, but the fact that she was here made the situation abnormal. Yuyuko was curious as to why this girl could gain her physical appearance in this place, she should appeared as small fire orb roam around endlessly in normal case of the soul of the dead. Something was not right about this girl; Yuyuko as an owner of this afterlife had to find out.
"Hello girl, where are you come from? I haven't seen you before, are you new around here?" Yuyuko approached her target right away.
"Err..Miss..err.. I don't understand anything. I remember I died, and I suddenly end up in this place!?" Kisaragi's voice was filled with much emotion: sadness, awkwardness, confuse, and others which cannot be described into words. She felt like she was thrown into alien planet in a blink of eyes.
At the mentioned of her death, Yuyuko was sure that she is another normal soul, but the fact that the soul was able to gain its' appearance was something she wanted to discuss about. "Well, we have all the time we need, so why don't you come with us and have some tea? Or do you not like it?"
Kisaragi sensed that the pink-short hair maiden before her beared no ill-will toward her, so she accepted the invitation that instant. "No..no! I like tea, please lead the way."
Self introduction was in order to come, plus background stories from each party. After long period of explanation about Kisasagi's world and her system and how she unknowingly ended up here after she died; Yuyuko's airhead was quickly overheat and nearly faint, she had to phone to Yukari to help her digest the newly acquired information. After Yukari arrived alone plus another set of self introduction, Kisaragi needed to go through all the information of her world again for the second time, she lost high amount of energy, but she didn't feel exhaust at all. Right after she finished, she also mentioned that she wanted a second chance to be alive, the pink hair ghost concluded that Mighty Desire to be ALIVE to be the reason why the destroyer gain her physical vessel. Yukari absorbed all the information with stern purple eyes, she got some idea on how that parallel world run themselves. Suddenly, a crazy idea struck her mind, she wasted no second thought to propose her proposal to Kisaragi.
"Alright. Second-Mutsuki-class Destroyer, Kisaragi-chan; Do you want to be RESURRECTED?"
"IS THAT POSSIBLE?, Yakumo-san Er..just call me.. Kisaragi is fine" Kisaragi gasped while cover her mouth with her hands, this news nearly brokes her happy tear.
"Yukari is fine too if you will. As long as you agree on the condition of our contract, I could have done it for you" Yukari gave the girl a devious smile. Yuyuko interrupted the conversation with hint of worry in her tone "Yukari, what will Lady Shikieiki say about this? I doubt she's going to allow you to mess with boundary of life and death as you please…..She can sentence you worse than death you know that?"
"Don't worry too much my friend. Kisaragi-chan isn't a living being in our world. It is the miracle itself that she could cross the border between world despite have no control over boundary. Yamaxanadu can't complain me in this case, but I guess she will hate me for some times….well, it's unavoidable, compare to the thrill I will gain, this is just a little price to pay." Yukari giggled. "Oh! I forgot to tell you my condition; Listen carefully Kisaragi-chan, because I won't repeat it twice."
"I'm ready Yukari-san, please state your term and conditions" Kisaragi gave her answer strongly.
"First, after your resurrection; you won't be the actual ship girl as you had been. You will be real DEVIL, or to be more specific SHIP PHANTOM, your physical function and appearance won't change much except that you will be more aggressive and when you aggressive level past the limit, your eyes will shine like us" She point at her eyes and Yuyukos'; which is split-pupil purple and pink. "We call this type EVIL EYES which is the signature of all dark creature. Other than that, you gain additional strength, faster regeneration, endurance enhancement and innate power, you have to find out what your innate power can do yourself. Second, I, as your contractor, have the right to intervene with your world by all means. Umm..Well Frankly tell you, I can prank as I please. What is your choice to choose my dear DESTROYER" Yukari sarcasmed Kisaragi. In her opinion, such title should be hold by the strongest, not some common warship with only 12.7 cm. caliber gun, the super-battleship warship is better fit for DESTROYER title than the destroyer warship.
While Kisaragi felt the uppercut from that sarcasm, Yuyuko spoke "Except for the second part, your condition favor Kisaragi-chan so much, Yukarin." "Yuyuko…may I remind you that having special ability in a normal human, ship girl, or whatever society is not to be taken lightly, let alone becoming Full-Flesh Devil. Reason? You will be isolated from your dear friends and family by the society who treat you with fear and disgust….I think you have been experiencing this kind of treatment before Yuyuko, at that time you were alive with ability to INVOKE DEATH in any being…."
Yuyuko grunted at this statement as she recalled many unpleasant memories from the long past. Meanwhile Kisaragi considered Yukari unintentional suggestion seriously; will her sister love her even she become a devil? Will her friend still friendly after knowing the truth? Her mind were flooded with question and questions for nearly infinity. Right now, she was about to cry for the critical turning-point of her life.
"Don't think too hard young one, just be honest with yourself. While your consciousness seek the best answer, your heart already made the decision, you know that?" Yukari suggest with sympathy.
"I…I…I don't want to leave my sister behind and I miss my friends very much, but I don't want them to fear me because I have become a DEVIL!" Kisaragi shouted with tear. Yukari just shrugged "Then, be sure to keep your secret well, but I predict that you will reveal it yourself when you think it's the right time." She patted Kisaragi's head motherly.
Kisaragi kept quite for a few moment, then she firmly answer "I accept! Yukari-san. No matter what circumstance, I want to live and see my sister!"
"Contract Completed! See you on the otherside Kisaragi-chan" Yukari bent the boundary between life and death in the destroyer. Then Kisaragi's vessel slowly disappeared into golden particles.
"Yukari, do you care for that stanger…NO.. that girl that much? I can't believe it to be true" "As much as I want to reply that I got bored lately; and I need some excitement to motivate me, the deepest part of my mind still pity her" Yukari bluntly told the ghost princess.
"Can't believe you have a soft spot for children!" Yuyuko teased. Yukari noded "Except for the case of unruly daughter like Reimu or Marisa, even one of the most aggressive being like Kazami Yuuka sill care for children welfare." The thousand-year-old devils giggled among themselves at the mentioned of remark about Yuuka.
"Last question, why don't you help her for free?" Yuyuko thoughtfully eyed her best friend.
"Because it's against my POLICY, I'm a Bloody Devil you know!? Not some God Damn Holy Angel!" The boundary bender finished with an evil sarcasm.
Kisaragi's consciousness return to her sunk self, she quickly surfaced herself on the sea in the night of…..well she was not sure how long she was out, none of that did not matter. The important things were that the damage she took from enemy bomber is fully recovered, and her 5 senses (actually 6 but she did not know it yet) were sharpened to dramatic extent. She also noted that she felt a little surge of power erupted inside the core of her well being.
"Is this for REAL!?" She cried with unstable mind.
If there was another ship girl with her, she would surely confirm that Kisaragi's eyes flashed split pupil with dangerous golden light for a second.
