Chapter 3 Roasted by Devil Part 2
I do not own Touhou or the image.
"Maybe I've went a bit too far, but Mokou, by now have you finally understood why you should us humans very gently? Unlike you, we're not immortal."
"Yes." Mokou nodded very solemnly. Keine and Mokou are currently located in Keine's house, a large house fitting for the protector of the human village. Currently they were in a room where there were no avenues of escape except the door behind Keine. Keine states that this was her office, but to Mokou it was her interrogation room.
"Now, following that first punishment –"
"Wait that wasn't it?! No more please!"
"This punishment," Keine said, "Is to go to that boy's family and apologize properly to him about you almost killing him."
Mokou nodded. There were no argument, Mokou thought. Apologize to a boy's family, or suffer the wrath of Keine. It was a no brainer.
"Will you accompany me to Haru's house?"
"Of course. The situation around is pretty bad around here. Villager's tensions are risen after your brazen act, and I'm barely keeping the situation down. After all, when Haru woke up he started screaming that there was a Youkai carrying him to get eaten, and it didn't take much for the villagers to suspect you were the youkai in question. Better allay those fears quickly."
Mokou groaned. "One of my first acts of charity in the human village is only responded back with curses. This, Keine, this is the reason why I like being alone."
Keine sighed. "Maybe one day you could settle down with someone-"
"Like that's going to happen any day soon. Here's the reason; give me a list of applicants that are not bitches, not women, and are immortal."
"What I'm saying is that you should hang around people more often to fix that attitude of yours. I mean, when you met me, your temper was, umm, little to be desired of. It was much worse than right now, for before you attacked Kaguya every minute of the day. After I managed to calm you down and started hanging around, it turned out that you were pretty reasonable and always have good intentions on your mind except when it comes to Kaguya."
That made Mokou pause. She herself was kind of a bitch before she met Kaguya. Oh, another thing to up Kaguya up! She's not a bitch! Kaguya is!
"True, very true." Mokou nodded furiously.
"Are you thinking about Kaguya again?"
"Yes, yes, I'm really happy that I'm not a bitch while Kaguya is – oh."
"Oh indeed." Keine smiled, but that smile was no angel's smile.
"Ahahah," Mokou started laughing to relieve the tension in the air. One rule Keine had put before Mokou is that whenever Keine is talking about a serious matter, Mokou should not think about Kaguya and one-upping her. It annoyed Keine very much. Very very much.
"Ahahah." Keine started laughing.
"AHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mokou left all traces of her dignity and bolted towards the door.
"MOKOU! GET BACK OVER HERE!"
"I"MMMMM SORRRRRRY!"

"Have you repented yet Mokou?"
"I've already repented. Please take the stone off!"
"Aright alright." Keine relented and took the stone off Mokou. Mokou tried to stand up, but her legs felt like absolute jelly after doing the seiza. However, flames flickered around her legs, burning all the nerves and replacing them with new nerves. "So about Kaguya-"
"If you keep on lecturing me, I would not be able to visit Haru's home." Mokou quickly pointed out, and Keine paused.
"True. Alright, your lecture will end, but if you think about Kaguya when I'm talking seriously…."
"Yes Sensei!"
"Good." Keine smiled, and Mokou proceeded to follow her outside of her house. The human village, Mokou reflected, is nice but chaotic. All the houses looks identical, but the layout of the village is very confusing. The first time Mokou was here, she got completely lost and finally ran into Keine who helped her out of the village.
"Here we are." Keine was at the end of the village. The bamboo forest of the lost was in seeing range, and the house they arrived at was a simple wooden two story house. "Haru! Teacher's here!"
There was a moment of silence, followed by the wood in the house creaking. The door opened with a bang. "Keine- arrggggggghhhhhh!"
Haru was wearing new clothes, and was barefooted. Before seeing Mokou, Haru was showing a brilliant smile with his teeth. Now, well, Haru didn't really like Mokou much.
BAAAM!

"I give up." Mokou muttered. She than tried to walk away but Keine held her shoulder.
"It's alright Haru! Mokou here is somewhat of a misunderstood, um, youkai? Human?"
Keine fell into deep thought, and shrugged. "She's here to apologize to you."
There was no response for a moment, than the door slowly creeped open. "Keine? I'm scared."
Mokou closed one of her eyes and sighed. "Keine, can you please let go? Can we make it so that this incident never happened in-"
Keine opened the door – "Not until you apologize Mokou. And you too Haru." – and dragged Mokou into the hosue with Haru following.
Author's Notice
Whew, sorry for not uploading yesterday. This chapter has a lot of humor inside, so enjoy!
Yeah, Mokou is getting absolutely demolished by Keine. At this rate Keine is going to become the main character, not Mokou. NOOOOOO! Nah, never happening.
Also, surprisingly enough I had not received any flame from Kaguya lovers. Come on already, let me burn! Reviews would be nice too. If I get a plausible omake for this story from a reviewer, I'll try writing it.
RusselH out.
