I trudged through the bamboo forest, in a daze. I didn't care where I will end up, I didn't care if a youkai was going to get me, I simply didn't care anymore. I had been transported to Gensokyo hoping for magical powers and friends, maybe even a girlfriend, but all I had done was screw everything up, and make everyone hate me. Not to mention I caused the deaths of several of my favorite characters. Reisen, Eirin, Reimu. How many more are dead because of me?

A lone wolf howled in the distance. I kept going. The moon shined down on the bamboo forest. On me. That stupid moon seemed to mock me for my misfortunes. There was a crack and the ground abruptly gave way under my weight. "Ahhhhh!" I screamed. Grass and twigs flew up and before I knew it, I was stuck in a ditch. "DAMMIT TEI!" I screamed in frustration.

"Reisen? Is that you?" another voice called out. A rabbit youkai with short wavy hair peered down from the top of the hole. "Reisen? Reisen, is that you?"

"No. It's Chester." I gruffly answered.

"Oh. Do you know where Reisen is? Is she still alive?"

"Help me up and I'll tell you."

The rabbit whistled a high pitched whistle and the next thing I knew, I was being pulled up by a bunch of other rabbit youkais. "Milord, the human is out." One of them reported.

The rabbit ignored the report and came closer to me. "Human, do you know of Reisen's whereabouts?" The moonlight illuminated the rabbits and allowed for me to see them better. The rabbit youkais all had a child-like appearance, save for their leader. He (yes it's a he) had the look of a rebellious and tricky preteen. He wore a short but elegant kimono and he had a bejeweled sword in the shape of a large, thin carrot hanging at his side.

"I do. But stop calling me human. My name is Chester." I grumbled quickly.

The rabbit sighed. "My apologies, Chester. I am Lord Tei of the earth rabbits."

Okay. So Tei is a guy. Cool. I had totally seen that coming. "You're a guy?"

"Yeah. Now please tell me where Reisen is."

I fidgeted with my fingers, reluctant to be the one to break the news to him. Finally, I sighed and said with a heavy heart, "Reisen is…she is…." I couldn't bring myself to meet Tei's eyes. "She's dead."

"I see." Tei's expression was dark as he stood and shouted, "KILL THE HUMAN!" He then motioned at the place where I once stood. I had knew that something was up the moment that look came across his face, and bolted for my life. Off in the distance, I heard Tei shout, "FIND HIM! WHOEVER BRINGS ME HIS SEVERED HEAD SHALL BE THE NEXT GAME MASTER!" A rally of cheers came from the earth rabbits.

All of a sudden, I did care for my life. I weaved this way and that, hoping to lose the psychos in the bamboo forest, but I was wrong. Each and every one of the rabbits knew the forest like the back of their furry paws. Then I did something utterly stupid. "HELP! HELP ME!" I screamed. Instantly, I heard a flurry of footsteps. "Dangit." I whispered under my breath. The rabbits found me. I never should've screamed! I heard a high pitched whistle swerved right in order to dodge a glowing streak. It was a razor sharp knife. The blade sliced deep into a nearby tree, alarming the rabbits and giving away my already obvious position. Nevertheless the knife was beautiful and unlike anything I've ever seen. The silver of the blade gleamed under the moonlight. The weapon was exceptionally fancy, sporting intricate designs on both the metallic blade and the its well-balanced crystal handle. It was definitely not anything like the crude bits and pieces of metal Tei's squad was carrying. The metal seemed to glow in a pulsing rhythm.

With it being the only weapon in sight, I stumbled over to the tree and yanked the knife out with some effort. Chunks of wood flew out with the blade. Suddenly, the glass-like crystal handle started to transform into a dark material; starting from where the handle touched my hand to branching out to the untouched parts. Soon, the formerly pure glass crystal handle had turned into a dark, pulsing obsidian one. At least, I thought it was obsidian.

"THERE HE IS!" A brown rabbit holding aloft a flaming torch shouted. I sprinted at him and plunged to pulsing dagger into his chest. "Ugh!" he choked as blood started to gush out of his wound. He face-planted into the ground and expired in a pool of his own blood. Rest in peace, evil rabbit of Tei's. My own hand was stained a dark red and I realized, I killed a man. Despite my guilt, I had no time to waste. I grabbed the fallen rabbit's torch and fled.

A series of high pitched whistles flew past my ears and thudding sound followed. Screams and cries of the hurt and dying rang out through the night. I turned and looked. The bodies of dozens of rabbit spirits laid in the rich soils of the bamboo forest. Each and every one of them had the crystal pommel of a knife protruding out of their heads or chest.

"Human!"

I whipped around. "Sakuya? Is that you?"

"Yes."
