I don't remember if this or the next chapter is gonna get interesting, after reading this over so many times before and after the editing. Oh well, enjoy!

Chapter 4- Return

Sakuya smiles, "Well this is the place. Its full name is the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but we went with just the Scarlet Mansion. What do you think?"

"Scarlet…ngh…" Kohaku winces in pain from his head. Scarlet was the trigger. His dreams were his locked memories, and they were trying to get out. One more catalyst and they would be set free.

"Kohaku-kun!" Reimu called, "Are you alright? Kohaku-kun!"

"I'm fine. It's just a minor headache. Besides, who is this mistress of yours?"

"The mistress is my sister," A blond girl with wings of colorful prisms descends from the sky, "Good afternoon. I'm Flandre Scarlet."

"Ack! Not again..." Kohaku's headache worsened. What was up with him? Why did he react like this? He might have known from the start. There was no reason for this, "Good afternoon, Flandre-sama. I'm Kohaku Hikaru, resident of Gensokyo and owner of the Hikaru Garden."

"I haven't been outside this place, so I've never heard of it. So you own a garden, that means you provided Sakuya with tea. The usual gets boring after awhile."

Kohaku raises an eyebrow, "Haven't been outside? Are you prohibited? That's absurd! What happened to make this place your custody?"

"My sister's order. Speaking of who, she might be interested in a pretty face like yours. Welcome, Kohaku Hikaru, to my sister's mansion."

It looks more like a castle, he thought, "Who's the redhead at the gate?"

"Tsk tsk, Meiling," Sakuya was disappointed and in disbelief to see the girl sleeping. Hong Meiling is not holding her job as gatekeeper or her title of martial artist.

"Let's try this," Kohaku's blue gemstone glows. No one knew what he was doing until an orb of water appears near Meiling's face, "Aquatic Spell Level 1: Water."

Reimu was shocked. He hid this from her? No way, "Since when did you have magic? Why didn't you tell me or anyone else?"

"I practice alone. I wasn't gonna use part of my youkai powers unless something happened to you, Marisa, and Alice. But now, I just have the urge to use my magic. It's like an extra burst of energy that just needs to be let out, you know what I mean?"

The ball of water hits Meiling's face which woke her up and standing immediately.

"I'm up! Who's trespassing?" She takes a stance.

"Calm yourself." Flandre commands.

"Gomennasai, Mistress. Wait, who's the boy?"

"A visitor. Come, Kohaku," Flandre opens the doors, "Onee-chan! Sakuya's back, with Reimu and a cute boy, too!"

A voice answers back, "Didn't I tell you to at least stay in the mansion at all times? Sakuya, my tea?"

"Hai, I'll make it right away," The maid leaves.

Kohaku receives a stronger headache from the voice he heard, which worried Reimu and Flandre. A girl in a grey dress arrives and the other two girls move to reveal Kohaku to her. As she gasps, he turned silent as his heterochromia eyes met hers. He had difficulty speaking as he starts to collapse.

"Remi…lia…"

"Kohaku? It's you?" Remilia catches his fall, "Is it really you?"

The boy hadn't answered. He was unconscious.

"He fainted from some mental trauma. That was probably why he had headaches," Sakuya checked his pulse, "I didn't know you have met him before, Mistress. Is he someone important to you?"

"Yes. It's been way too long. Right now, we need to get him on a bed. He'll just take mine for now. Let's get him over there."

"Mistress, are you sure? Where will you sleep if he's unconscious over the night?"

"It's better than the floor, don't you think? I'll be fine," Remilia sternly replies. She clearly cared for Kohaku's well being. Sakuya sighs in response.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Kohaku himself had continued releasing his memories from three years ago, an attempt at regaining his former self if anything remained.

"I'm Remilia Scarlet. Call me Remi if you want."

"A beautiful name," Kohaku nods, "I'm Kohaku Hikaru."

"Would you like to be with me?" Remilia blushed while smiling.

Scratching the back of his head, Kohaku didn't know what to say. He wanted her to be happy, and he felt as if that was his only purpose in his life, "As long as you allow it, then yes. I'll go with you to the ends of the earth," He saw Remilia moving and leaning closer to him, locking her lips with his. Kohaku says another thing.

"I love you too, Remi."

The next thing he felt was a stinging sensation at his neck. Remilia had sunk her fangs into him. Very few people survived Remilia's bite, but Kohaku wasn't phased by it. He didn't feel any weaker, but her bite had caused him to slightly breathe heavier, making it look like he enjoyed it. A pleasing sensation, somehow.

"You're blushing from my bite?" Remilia noticed. She started to giggle at the sight.

"I'm blushing?"

"You didn't become any weaker when most people do. It was as though you had an unlimited blood supply. Do you know who you are? Besides, your blood is very sweet, human blood can't match you."

"I'm just a youkai, that's all."

Kohaku was led to Remilia's mansion, showing off a slightly eerie aura in the night sky. Unfortunately, Kohaku had to head back to his small home due to something that happened. Remilia had went back inside her room, waiting the next day now that she showed him direction towards the mansion.

That was not the case.

She found Kohaku against some copy of himself. The figure of the copy was in a complete black cover, much like a silhouette. He had lost to the foe and Remilia stepped in to destroy it. Kohaku stood up and asked who she was. The Scarlet Devil almost burst to tears hearing the questions. Her loved one was just a memory. The silhouette must have wiped his memory as well. Remilia stayed in her home in sorrow, while looking her usual self on the outside. All the while, she was thinking of why that figure wanted to separate them. Was it because he is a powerful youkai? Remilia thought of every possibility, all while the three years played its course.

One voice had spoken to Kohaku as he starts to exit his sleep.

"They're here. Only you and the Scarlet Devil have the power to destroy them."

What does it mean by "they," and what will happen? Kohaku thought, what threat is coming my way? He then wakes up to the eyes of scarlet color.

That's a weird way to introduce a new Incident. Anyway, once I get the next chapter, that's when I'm showing his youkai abilities. That also means don't expect chapter five for a while. during the gap in time, if you have any suggestions for Kohaku's abilities, let them out there so I can take into consideration. Anything's appreciated!
