The Witches Last Flight.
Chapter 2.
By Archaeologist of Humanity.
It has been over a year since Marisa passed away in Reimu's arms. Sadly, the witch had not responded to Reimu's screams for her to wake up but instead had passed away. Reimu had made a very special grave next to the Shrine's main building so she would always come by and remember her, every morning she would clean/water the gravestone and every evening she would seal the gravesite away from any potential invaders.
Reimu was a mess afterwards. Everything she had come to know about Marisa, besides the Kleptomania, had all died with the Blonde girl. Reimu missed her. Greatly so.
One particular afternoon there was a bunch of footsteps - Light in approach as whoever it was, was walking up the Shrine's steps.
Reimu was currently looking at Marisa grave with a sigh. She didn't really want to be bothered today. It was the anniversary of her best friend's death at the hands of Yukari, who for some reason, had disappeared without a trace.
'I hope someone killed her.' Reimu thought as she reminded herself of what happened at HER shrine that day just over a year ago.
"'Cuse me? 'Cuse me! HEY! I said Excuse me! Can ya tell ma wher' my mother took off to? Father's getting worried about her. He normally doesn't mind her being away for months but this is gonna a bit too far, don'tcha'ya think?"
Reimu almost froze. 'Mother?' She turned very slowly and her eyes locked with a small girl, around her knees in height with a small outfit on. She looked like an ordinary Human but... Something was different, this magical presence was... Familiar for some reason.
"Are ya the Shrine thingy?"
Reimu breathed heavily as she could see the girl had Sapphire Blue eyes which had a golden tint, soft wavy blonde-ish brown hair. Chestnut Brown if you will, very light. Wait... Wait just a damn minute!
"What's your name?"
The girl puffed her cheeks out which had Reimu almost smile in amusement, but amusement wasn't the aim at the moment, so she kept it to herself (Somehow).
"I asked ya if ya wer' the Shrine... Was it, Maiden? I dunno."
Reimu nodded. May as well start SOMEWHERE right? "Yes, I am the Shine Maiden, Reimu Hakurei, and yours?"
The girl grinned and revealed her tooth that was by the side of her face. "Jasmine, Jasmine Kirisame!"
Reimu froze in place, her breathing not quite right. Shock registering in her mind. This girl... No way! Was she... Was she Marisa's DAUGHTER!?
SINCE WHEN!?
Surely she would have known about something so major! She was the Shrine Maiden! She knew almost EVERYTHING there was to know about the barrier/Geosokyo and so on!
"What's... Your mother's name?" Reimu tried to keep her composure, but that was starting to crack, trying to avoid telling this girl - If she was, who Reimu didn't want to believe she was - She wanted to AVOID telling her what happened to her best friend...At ALL costs, just in case it wasn't who she thought.
Jasmine seemed to think for a bit before smiling again. "Kirisame Marisa!"
That did it. That threw Reimu's mind upside down. What on the face of the Planet had happened!? How had Marisa found time to settle down!? That Kleptomanic was... But... How did... It didn't make sense!
Reimu coughed and stepped back a few steps, confusing Jasmine. "I'm sorry, your 'Mother' isn't here. I've been looking for her, myself, actually."
Jasmine lit up. "Wait, aren't you the person my mumma had a crush on once? I must admit, Miss Hakurei, you're very pretty!"
Reimu slightly blushed at this. Not because of the compliment but because Marisa had a crush on her... Wait...
Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait! This was all new! Marisa had a Crush on her, didn't feel very well... Had this, this... Creation with someone... And then... Then this creation comes to find her!? What in the world was going on!?
Jasmine smiled. "Alright, if you don't know where Mumma is. I'll go. You must be busy! My mumma told me a LOT about you! See ya!" With that, Jasmine spun on her heel and raced down the steps of the Shrine... She had magic, that was for sure, and it practically RESONATED with Marisa's magical energy mixed with some other Sourcerer... Yet this girl... Wasn't flying. Didn't have a broom or anything, she just...
"This is impossible." Reimu decided. Looking at Marisa's grave once more. "You're mad." She said to no-one in particular, but had hoped Marisa was listening, somehow. "Absolutely bonkers. But... If what she said was true... I suppose-"
It didn't need to be said. Reimu still had strong feelings for Marisa, even though she had, had a daughter behind her back. But that had been pretty good going. To hide a prenancy for 9 months, hide away for a year, not bother anyone... It started to make sense.
Thing was...
Why did Marisa's grave sound like it just coughed?
Chapters will come out slowly, I haven't really thought about how to turn this into a long story so... Please bear with me! :)
