In Preparations of a Bon Fire

Reimu x Suika

Chapter 2: Hurry, hurry!

Reimu rushed out into to the villages' marketplace with the thought of snacks on her mind. She left Satori behind. Satori, who was still a little sad, walked off on her way out of the village. 'Humans contain much potential. If Reimu can tap into that potential, then her bon fire is sure to be a success', Satori thought. Satori walked further away from the village, the sun was beginning to set. It is getting a bit late, Reimu better hurry.

Reimu realizes she does not have much time and hurries toward the nearest stands, looking for her necessities. Reimu bought: wood, sake, mocha, red bean buns, octopus, bread, and some vegetables. In the end she ended up using all of her 'emergency fund', but she had her little 'rainy-day fund' for snacks which she had been saving up for a while. "I'll have a thing a pocky, sir", she said to the stand's owner. "Here ya' go, miss. Have a nice day." the owner replied. 'A little snack won't hurt, I am a bit hungry.' she thought.

It's time to get a move on. The evening is dyeing the sky a deep orange and sepia. Reimu take the slightly-long trail back to her home, the Hakurei Shrine.

"Alright, time to get a move on." Reimu exclaimed, "I have a lot of preparation to get to!"

Reimu begins the preparation on the food, but she needs a little help. She invited a common visitor, Suika. At first Reimu wonders if Suika is coming to help her, it's been about an hour since she called for her. 'I hope Suika gets here, I could use her help', Reimu thought. "Hm?" Reimu hears footsteps on the outside. "Suika is that you?" There was no reply for a minute. But seconds after that minute had passed the sliding doors open and there was a loud thud, followed by a groan, "Uggggghhhhhhhuuh."
