The Hakurei Shrine, the next morning

Mima appeared in front of the shrine, grinning ear to ear. "Reimu!" There was no answer. "Hmm, she must still be asleep. Oh well, more fun for me." She floated into the shrine and found Reimu sleeping. "Aw, she looks so cute when she sleeps… WAKE UP!"

Reimu jumped, startled into consciousness.

"What? What's going on?" She rubbed her eyes. "Oh, it's you."

"That's right! Now get up, Hakurei, because now you're going to fulfill your end of our deal."

"Why do I have to do anything? It's that tengu guy's friend, shouldn't you ask him?"

"I would, but you also want to help this Yutaka girl, and I actually have a reason to mess with you, so…"

"I hate you."

"Aw, how sweet. Anyway, get dressed or whatever it is you humans do, and come with me." Mima floated out of the shrine, while Reimu muttered to herself and got out of bed. She came out of the shrine a few minutes later, glaring at Mima.

"Ok, so I have to do something for you to fix Yutaka. But that doesn't mean I won't seal you too if you try anything stupid."

Mima laughed.

"Oh, I won't ask much of you. First of all, you will refer to me as 'God-Empress Mima-sama' for the rest of the day."

Reimu's eye twitched in irritation, but she simply said,

"Yes, God-Empress Mima-sama. That's kind of long, though… can I call you something else?"

"God-Empress Mima-sama allows this. From now on you'll just call me 'Mima-sama.' Now that that's clear, I have only one task for you." She pulled out a piece of paper. "I want you to go to the Human Village, get everyone together, and read this to them."

Reimu snatched the paper from her suspiciously.

"Why? What does it-" She stared at the paper in horror. "You, you… There's no way I'm going to read this!"

Mima feigned confusion.

"That's odd, I thought I heard you say you wouldn't do it. But I couldn't have heard that! After all, would Reimu Hakurei really abandon one of her friends to demonic possession? No, that's just ridiculous!"

"…Fine. But I swear, you're going to pay for this, Mima-sama." She said her name like it was the foulest curse imaginable.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, Reimu. Now come on, may as well get your big speech over with, right?" Grumbling to herself, Reimu started flying to the Human Village, with Mima laughing behind her.

Dawitsu Mansion, the same time

Dawitsu paced back and forth, muttering to himself. Yukari watched him pace for a minute, got bored, then opened a gap. She watched it fixedly for a minute, frowned, and said, "Dawitsu, I think I have some good news for you." Dawitsu looked up. "Mima simply wants Reimu to do a few things for her, and then she'll fix Yutaka."

Dawitsu's face lit up for a second, then he saw Yukari's expression.

"What's wrong? This is good news, right?"

Yukari nodded.

"The only thing she wants her to do is give a speech to the village. I don't like the idea of Reimu becoming a laughingstock…"

Dawitsu tried to smile reassuringly.

"Well, maybe she'll get more donations this way…"

Yukari rolled her eyes.

"Well, I see your humor is as pathetic as ever… anyway, I can't let this happen."

"But if she doesn't do what Mima says, Mima won't fix Yutaka!"

"Don't you think I know that? This situation requires… Chen, where are you?"

Another gap appeared, and Chen came out.

"Did you call me, Yukari-sama?"

"Yes. Is Ran alright?"

"Yes, Yukari-sama! Eirin said she should be back on her feet by tomorrow!"

"That's good… Well, then, you will have to do for now." She whispered in Chen's ear. "Do you understand? We need to make sure Reimu isn't humiliated, without interrupting the speech." Chen nodded and jumped into another gap, vanishing from sight.

The Human Village, an hour later

"Well, here we are, Reimu. Your big moment."

Reimu glared at the evil spirit.

"Just shut up and get this started."

Mima cackled.

"Of course." She fired some lasers into the air, drawing the villagers attention. "Attention, pathetic human meatbags! I, the evil spirit Mima, would like to make a announcement. Or rather, Reimu Hakurei would. Reimu, what do you have to say to your human… friends? Targets? Hostages? Faceless masses? Do you even know these people? Well, they don't matter. Let's get this show going, right buddy?"

Reimu's glare couldn't have been more murderous if she'd suddenly been granted laser vision.

"Fine." The shrine maiden flew up on to a building, just as Mima had told her to drawing even more curious onlookers. Just to make it absolutely clear she didn't want to do this, Reimu pulled out the speech and started reciting it in a dead monotone. "Hello, everyone. As you probably know, I'm Reimu Hakurei, shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine and youkai exterminator. What you may not know is that I'm horribly incompetent at both of my jobs. As a shrine maiden, I should be able to seal away any youkai or remove any spirit, but proof that I can't do either floats before you." Mima waved for effect, as the audience started muttering to themselves and pointing, making Reimu even more embarrassed. These people looked up to her, after all, and here she was following the orders a evil spirit. She kept reading. "I could never seal Mima away for long, she quickly escaped any seal I made. And now, when one of my friends is possessed, she's the only one with the knowledge to save her." By this point her audience was starting to get angry. After all, what if they was the one possessed? What would Reimu do then? "As a exterminator, my only opponents were Mima, who was holding back, a vampire, and a hungry ghost. Everything else I ever claimed to do was with the help of…" Her eyes bulged in renewed horror. She hadn't read this part yet.

Mima floated over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Go on, read it."

Reimu's eyes burned with a fury Hell couldn't match, but she dutifully recited:

"Everything else I ever did was done with the help of Marisa, the former student of God-Empress Mima-sama and your future ruler, since in her infinite kindness Mima-sama said Marisa could have the human village when she takes over Gensokyo."

Before she could continue, Marisa's voice rang out of the crowd, saying,

"But Mima, I told you I don't want to rule over the village!"

Mima glared in her direction.

"You'll rule over these people with an iron fist and like it, young lady!"

"I'm not a kid anymore, you can't tell me what to do!"

Reimu smirked, and Mima growled angrily, her staff appeared in her hand.

"I can't tell you what to do, huh? Come out, then, we'll see how tough you are in battle!"

Marisa laughed.

"Tempting… but no. Why should I do anything if Reimu'll just beat you for me?"

"Marisa Kirisame, I am your master, and you will treat me with the respect I deserve!"

"Former master. I left, remember? Like I'm leaving now." Marisa shot out of the crowd on her broomstick, laughing as she flew off into the Forest of Magic. The audience laughed too, while Mima twitched angrily. Reimu nudged her cheerfully.

"So, should I finish reading this? It's got some nice stuff on the horrors Marisa will rain down on people under your rule and stuff…" The audience laughed harder and Mima slashed at her, but Reimu jumped out of the way easily.

"Just… shut up." Mima sighed, regaining her composure. "Fine, you kept your end of the bargain, I'll help Yutaka. Now come on, before I change my mind."

The Forest of Magic, just outside the Human Village

Chen readied the bazooka, making final adjustments before she fired. Giggling to herself, she was about to pull the trigger, when a gap opened and Yukari looked out of it. "Never mind, Chen, it seems Reimu managed to escape complete humiliation. You don't have to shoot Mima."

Chen looked disappointed.

"But Yukari-sama, I never get to fire the snow cannon! Just once! Please?"

Yukari chuckled.

"Alright, one shot."

The Human Village

Reimu and Mima started to leave, but before they could leave the village a small boy ran up to them.

"Wait, wait! Miss Hakurei, evil spirit person!"

Mima glared at the kid as he got closer.

"You couldn't even remember my name?"

"Sorry…"

"Well, what do you want?"

"Um, did you say something's wrong with Miss Hadekawa?"

"Miss- Oh, Yutaka. Yeah, she's possessed."

"And, um, you're going to fix her?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Thank you!" The boy tried to hug her, but the only part he could reach was her tail.

Mima's glare softened slightly.

"Uh, you're welcome. Now let go of my tail before I strangle you with it."

"Um, ok… bye, Miss Mima!" The boy ran off, and Mima stared after him.

"Stupid kids… someone needs to teach them to some respect. Oh yeah, Yutaka's their teacher, right?" Reimu nodded. "Hmm… maybe I should be a biology teacher, show them what their insides look like… could be fun."

Reimu just shrugged, not really caring.

"I guess. Right now, though…"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going to the Shrine, you stupid-" They was cut off by a loud boom as a giant pile of snow fell on Mima. "…I don't know who did that, but they're going to pay."

Hakurei Shrine

Mima was still dripping when they made it back to the Shrine. Once she dried herself off, she quickly found Yutaka's hokora and summoned her staff. Reimu was watching intently, eager to find out how she was going to get the evil sprit out. Dawitsu and Yukari walked out of one of her gaps, just as Mima slashed the hokora with the blade on her staff, somehow not damaging it at all, but something had been pulled out of it. It seemed to be a green floating orb, glowing slightly. Reimu quickly unsealed Yutaka, and the hokora glowed and shattered to pieces, revealing the unconscious youkai girl. Relieved that she was safe, Dawitsu turned his attention to the thing Mima had summoned.

"Is that the evil spirit?"

Mima nodded.

"Strange, it should have done something by now, but it's just floating there." Apparently spurred on by her words, the spirit started growing. Everyone backed up, not sure what to do, and it stopped growing once it was human-sized. It changed shape, forming arms, legs, and a tail. It's features became more apparent, and soon it was clearly a lizard youkai in a nurse's outfit, grinning manically. Her blue eyes twitched occasionally while darting back and forth, trying to watch everyone at once. A dim aura surrounded her, a warning of the power she was hiding.

Dawitsu stared at her, unnerved at the resemblance to a certain annoying acquaintance of his.

"Who are-" Before he could say anything else, the spirit was right in front of him, her grin even bigger. She hugged him, much to his surprise and pain. "Ahhh! Let me go!"

The spirit cackled.

"Oh, I could never do that, my adorable little Dawitsu!" He tried to break free, but it was futile.

Yukari finally managed to pull him away from her and he asked, "How do you know who I am, anyway?"

Instead of answering, the lizard focused on Yukari's hand, and gasped dramatically.

"Yukari, you're getting married?" She looked back and forth between Dawitsu and Yukari, and she jumped ecstatically. "To Dawitsu! Yay, it worked!"

Yukari narrowed her eyes.

"What worked?"

"My plan, of course! Oh, I haven't introduced myself! I'm Hachuurui, the greatest doctor and nurse in the universe and the angel of love!"

Editor's Notes: Well, that worked out well, I think. Oh, quit looking at me like that, Lady Tokage! I didn't know what to do until we wrote it. I didn't like the Mima-bashing or whatever, but I just go where the writing takes me...

Reviews for Chapter 5

Mateyuu Dawitsu: Oh my, am I really that studly and manly? My depiction was so very nice in this, you can really see my good side, and... what do you mean I wasn't described sufficiently to tell?

Yukari Yakumo: Hmm. You know what, even though I like featuring in the title, I prefer to be operating from the sidelines. Mima can have the spotlight... wait, hold on, my contract with ZUN forbids me to say that. Yeah, Mima can stay forever forgotten... I guess.

Mima: Gods damn it, I knew there was a conspiracy at ZUN level preventing me from entering the new games!

Yutaka Hadekawa: Awww... you put in a child who wanted me back? That's... that's... so sweet! As long as it isn't Sosake. That child is disturbing on so many levels.

Reimu Hakurei: Mima is petty enough to do that. And, you know what, I think that the events probably would turn out that way. Mima has always had too much of a soft spot for Marisa, enough to let her humiliate her in public.

Mima's second review: That is not true! I'll show you! I'll show you all! When I take over Gensokyo, I'll (review discontinued by ZUN)
