Chapter 9: Awake for Winter(Now with 100% less Cirno)
Bgm: Alone(Persona 4)
[Hakurei Shrine-Reimu's Room]
Reimu awakens in her room with everything intact and with colour, she didn't die from this. Snow was piling up on the outside, Reimu changed to a black blouse with long sleeves,a red coat to guard against the cold, a black long skirt and black stockings. When she headed to the main room she noticed her sword was out of it's sheath, so out of habit she sheathed it. In the dinning room she notices a note, she read: "Dear, if you're reading this then you awoke before we came back. We were worried about you, you would mutter and scream while asleep and you wouldn't wake up so we went to look for a doctor in the capital.~Dad". This made Reimu realize that the event that happened was but a dream but, it still worries her that someone may find out.
Reimu: Well, they at least left some breakfast.[Reimu shrugged]
After eating breakfast Reimu decided to visit Remilia at her house, she may feel lonely and it's probably warmer there. Outside the snow felt off as if life was lacking from the atmosphere but, she felt them, the demons were waiting for new prey. She then noticed that it was snowing during late October which was not normal at all.
Bgm: Amala Labyrinth(SMT3 Maniax)
Reimu left the shrine and walked along the snow filled forest towards the capital, on the way she encounters a girl wearing a blue and yellow dress that reached her feet. Reimu notices the nine tails behind the woman and identifies her as a demon of the Volt Order, a Kitsune but, something was wrong, she radiated too much MAG to be an average Volt demon, so she asks.
Reimu: Um, excuse me but you're a Volt- Kitsune am I right?[Reimu asked with her shy girl act]
Kitsune: You're wrong I'm a Fiend, a prestigious order to belong to if I say so myself. I'm Ran, Shikigami of Yakumo Yukari the strongest demon in all Gensokyo! My dream is to one day surpass master Yakumo and turn her into MY Shikigami![The Kitsune gloated]
Reimu: Al-right.(She is a total dumbass)[Reimu's face had a "Are you kidding me?" Face as she spoke and thought]
Ran: Are you scared? Well you'd better be! After all I'm the Shikigami of the strongest demon of them all! H-hey! Where did you go!?[Ran didn't notice when Reimu left]
Tired of hearing Ran ramble Reimu left for Remilia's mansion, on the way she encounters a floating fishlike creature with blue scales and sharp claws, traveling with it was a small white figure with a blue hat and a big smile. She recognized them as the Frosts Azumi and Jack Frost, they notice her and attack her.
Bgm: Hybrid(SAWA TWEWY)
Reimu: Whoa! Leave me alone! I'm busy![Reimu dodged an icicle by back stepping]
(Never exhume me
I don't want you anymore
Colors are fading
You took all that I want
Memories are brimming and I hope you know
I am bleeding eternally for you)
Azumi: Sorry dear but, Jack and I need food and you seem tasty.[The Azumi spoke hungrily to Reimu]
(Lying stars
You make me dream of bliss
Greedy mind
Nothing is so right
Fear is compressed and my stomach aches
You could amaze me more and forever)
Reimu: Well it's come to this... Infernal Fierce Demon Fang![Reimu drew Ragnarök as she shouted]
Reimu leapt at Azumi with her blade covered in flames and struck it, meanwhile Jack Frost prepared a freeze breath to use against Reimu, but the shock of seeing Azumi getting shredded by Reimu paralyzed it in fear.
(I can't believe this is a dream
My lucent orb is shinning bright
I can't believe it was a dream
So hard to reignite myself)
Reimu: You're next! Burning Fang Blade![Reimu looked at the Jack Frost]
Jack Frost: Hee sorry forgheeve me ho! I hee won't do that ever again ho![The Jack Frost begged for mercy]
Reimu: Too late![Reimu smirked]
After those words Reimu slashed the Jack Frost twice and followed with a rising flame slash. With the demons dead Reimu brandishes her blade and sheaths it, ending this victory pose with her walking away from the scene and heading for the Scarlet Family House.
(I can't believe this is a dream
Is this the way we end up?
I can't believe it was a dream
A flashback is all I have in my hand?)
Bgm: Scarlet Devil Mansion(Genius of Sapheros)
[Scarlet Family House-Throne Room]
After the skirmish with the Azumi and Jack Frost, Reimu headed to Remilia's house to give her company. At the gate Meiling greeted her and told her that Remilia was in the throne room. In the throne room the floor, ceiling and servants were like the rest of the house, red but, the throne room gave an aura of final boss battle arena or something.
Remilia: Oh Hakurei-san, what brings you here?[Remilia sipped a cup of coffee and spoke to Reimu]
Reimu: I came to give you company and to warm up in here.[Reimu smiled]
Remilia: Hahaha! You really are funny Hakurei-san![Remilia laughed]
Reimu: Maybe I have a talent for making jokes only outsiders would understand.[Reimu scratched the back of her head]
Remilia: Hey Hakurei-san, have you heard the rumor about a mysterious place in Ikebukuro where apparently you can see different dimensions?[Remilia asked Reimu with interest in her voice]
Reimu: Never, but it sounds interesting, maybe we should check it out later.[Reimu responded interested]
Remilia: Hey I have a question for you Hakurei-san.[Remilia asked]
Reimu: Ask away.[Reimu responded smiling]
Remilia: How are you able to control your MAG without any training?[Remilia tilted her head while asking]
Reimu: I don't know how myself but, it helps me in a fight so I use it to my benefit.[Reimu replied in a serious tone]
Remilia: I see. Well that's all I wanted to ask.[Remilia looked a bit sad while saying that]
Reimu: Hey, did you notice that the snow seems a bit lacking in life?[Reimu asked seriously]
Remilia: Yeah, almost as if it was trying to kill...[Remilia said while looking out through a window in the room]
Reimu: We should go to and ask Izayoi-san to help with investigating this strange snow.[Remilia stood up from her seat]
Remilia: Yeah! Onwards![Reimu pointed towards the exit]
The two left the mansion and headed towards Shinjuku not knowing what awaits them.
