A little note aside, this is my first fanfic so any constructive critism are welcome!

The Touhou characters and settings are respectively belongs to ZUN! He's an awesome guy. Long live ZUN!
Leo, my character belongs to me.

I try to make this fanfic compelling and good enough for the readers to read it and also I'm trying to keep the Touhou characters originality by using their canon personalities to make this story more... Original I guess. Heh. :) ANd yes, I know this is a self-insert fic but at least give me a little chance, okay? :D

Anyway, please enjoy the story and leave a comment! Peace! :D

This is rather a short one since I'm a bit busy but hey, at least I'm continuing it. XD This chapter concentrates on the incident resolvers. Yes, it's Reimu and Marisa's turn!

[PS : This is after the battle between the youkai and Leo.]

Still, any comments and reviews are welcome. Yey!
Enjoy this short chapter and if anything catches your eye, tell me. :3

Chapter 7 - SPECULATIONS

3rd POV ======= Reimu and Marisa flies back after visiting The Scarlet Devil Mansion. "Darn. I thought there'll be a clue at the mansion's library..." Marisa sighed and shows a dissapoint expression on her face. Reimu nods and told Marisa that they shouldn't give up yet. "There's still hope. In fact, I believe this must be a youkai's doing." Marisa gave a thought of that statement. "If so, this must be some powerful youkai we're messing with."

Reimu nodded in agreement. "Yeah. But what type of youkai would do this?" She looks down and saw something shocking. Some areas of the magic forest is on fire. They landed on the ground safely and took a good look around. The forest is partially destroyed. "Who did this?" Reimu and Marisa then investigates around the forest, looking for some sort of clue. "There must be a dogfight happened here. But between whom?" Reimu checks behind the burnt trees and saw what seems to be a half-burnt bag. She picks the bag up and checks it. Inside the bag were some burnt and melted writing utensils and also a small notepad. A few of the notepad's pages are burnt off while some are still safe and readable. Reimu calls out for Marisa and as soon as Marisa arrives, Reimu took a look on some of the writings of the notepad. It seems to be gibberish as it wasn't in Japanese. "This bag belongs to an outsider I guess."

Marisa snaps her fingers and told Reimu about her idea. "There are two outsiders here right? Leo and the other guy Yukari gapped in. This bag must belong to one of them." Reimu now remember that Leo was carrying a small bag that seems to be the same size as this burnt one. It even looks like the one Leo was carrying. But Reimu thought she didn't jumped into conclusion that fast. She turns the pages of the notepad and saw a page that seems to have some Japanese writing on it. "Thanks for the manga collaboration! And if you can't read this, its alright then. See you again next year, Leo-san! -Tsukino" Reimu was surprised to see Leo's name written on it. This is certainly Leo's bag. Reimu then told Marisa about her findings.

"W-wait. If that is Leo's bag... That means..." Marisa looks around her and tighten the grasp on her broom. "That kid must've been caught by a yokai!" Reimu told Marisa that may be true but judging by the surroundings, it seems like something or someone fought back. There must be someone who could've rescued him. Marisa gave a thought on it and nods.

Marisa then remembers that the Tengu Village wasn't that far from their location so Marisa suggests to Reimu that they should go investigate there. Reimu nodded and hoped that Leo or the other outsider are safe. They flew off from the ruined part of the forest towards the Tengu Village.
