Since I took so long to do that last chapter, I'm doing another to make it up to you guys.

I seriously suggest you guys listen to the opening of Umineko no naku koro ni.

We made our way forwards, and another waterfall came into sight some distance away.

"Look, another waterfall. It's so pretty," Kohaku said. I nodded. It was indeed beautiful. Youkai Mountains had some really good scenery. It's a shame they cut it off from public view.

"Stop!" a voice said, behind us. We all turned, and a girl with a white shield with a red leaf on it and a sword in her hands was flying towards us... She could fly?

"Tresspassers! you tresspass on private territory!" she shouted. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kohaku pull out a light blue orb, but I held up my hand, stopping her. I then addressed the girl, trying to calm her down.

"Please excuse us, but we just wanted to do some exploring. And why are you able to fly, and we can't?" I asked.

"I owe you no explanations. Prepare yourselves," she said, and she launched three danmaku at each of us, the danmaku heading for us fast. We eached dodged it, easily. I removed my grimoire from my pocket, but a hand stopped me. Midori had laid her hand on mine, a signal for stop.

"Please, allow me," she said. I nodded, then she removed her bow from her back, where it was strapped to her arrow quiver. She flew a few feet away from me, and the snake which she was flying on turned sideways to give her a clear shot. A blue magic circle appeared under her.

Well, things were about to get interesting.

Midori P.O.V.

"The area has been set for maximum magical pressure," Attor thought. I nodded. I will use my powers to protect my friends.

"No way I'll let you get me," the girl said, flying towards me from the side. She was trying to decrease the distance between us. But that's just what I had expected. When she was in range, I aimed at the sky and fired. The arrow went up, glowed, then split into 8 separate arrows. The arrows turned to the girl, then headed for her.

The girl flew sideways, then up, then down, trying to avoid the arrows, when they got close to her, however, she swung her sword, and all of them were sliced in half.

Impossible!

I loaded another arrow, and prepared a spell.

"Attor, enchant this arrow with ice. Maximize the area of effect to a diameter of 67.8, lighten the pressure, increase the arrow split amount to 9, and add 3 danmaku as a side attack," I said. Attor's eyes glowed, and the arrow I loaded began collecting frost on it. The magic circle underneath me expanded.

I released the arrow, and it headed for the girl. The girl's shield expanded, and the arrow hit the shield, freezing it. Upon impact, a cloud of frost was produced. Out of the frost, nine arrows arose, and headed for the girl. The girl tried to raise her shield, but the ice made it too heavy, so she released her shield, and flew backwards. The arrows followed her, in a mad chase. She began swiping at them, but could never hit a single one.

Victory was mine! I was winning!

Then, the tip of the girl's sword glowed blue. She raised her sword, and after images of slashes formed a circle around her. The arrows were slashed into bits. Once the arrows were done for, I was sure that the danmaku would surprise her.

When the danmaku appeared around her, she just flew up, quickly avoiding them.

I felt my temper rising, and a hand was laid on my shoulder. I looked up to see Flandre giving me a stern look.

"We need to work together on this one. Kohaku has changed into her weapon form, and I've got my destruction grimoire ready," she said. I nodded.

"Here we go, Midori," I said in a battle serious tone.

The girl raised her sword. "I am Momiji Inubashiri, and I will defeat you," she said. She launched a danmaku at us, and we dodged it, my bat going south west, and Midori's snake going left. Momiji fired two more danmaku at us, Midori going upwards and I going to the side.

We headed straight for Momiji, then sped up, going right past her. She quickly turned around, but it was too late.

"Dclano," I said, a magic square appearing in front of me. I fired three large danmaku at Momiji, and she dodged going left, forward, then down. Midori fired rapid arrows at her, and Momiji's shield expanded. The arrows hit the shield, and Momiji was thrown back. Momiji lowered her shield, and shook her head.

"Tch," I said. Momiji and Midori headed for each other, Midori slipping past her again. My bat flew beside Midori to hover by her.

"That's a tengu for you. We didn't come close to striking her," Midori said.

"I want a good destructive spell," I said, flipping through my grimoire. Momiji began circling around, and was heading straight for us.

"You want me to increase my arrows a little bit?" she asked me.

Two middle sized danmaku flew past us, just barely missing up.

"She's too fast!" Midori shouted. We separated and continued to closely slip past Momiji, firing at her, but to no avail. Momiji's sword glowed, and she began launching after image slashes at us.

Midori loaded an arrow, but stopped.

"Flandre!" she yelled, and my thoughtform flew towards her. She held up her arrow.

"Can you enchant this-" she began, but I was already on it.

"Ulquwor Mishakra Eratico Meus Rept Es Nese," I said. When I finished, the arrow glowed red, and Midori nodded her thanks. She loaded the arrow, then fired. When Momiji dodged it, just barely, it exploded, throwing her back. Momiji quickly recovered, then began launching danmaku at us. Does she ever give up?

I held Levateinn up, and began launching danmaku from it. Momiji dodged, then, before we knew it, she was upon us.

"Too fast!" I shouted. Time seemed to slow down... Momiji turned towards me, but Midori acted quickly. The serpent's tail that she was on wrapped around me, and pulled me off of my thoughtform, and around to Midori. The snake began flying backwards, and I acted quickly as well.

"Eratico!" I shouted. The area between the two of us and Momiji exploded, and we were thrown back by the force of the impact. Luckily, we had enough space between us, so we weren't hurt.

Creating a new thoughtform, I hopped off the snake, and onto the thoughtform's back. I nodded my thanks to Midori, and pursued Momiji. I spotted her close to the grown, and gaining altitude.

Midori hovered beside me, and we nodded at each other. When we looked to Momiji again, she was a blur of silver. She rushed past us, and my face stung. I reached up, and there was a small cut on my cheek. Midori gasped, and I turned to see Midori's hand covered in a little blood. She looked at me, a fierce look in her eyes. I smiled, and we nodded to each other.

Momiji began launching danmaku at us, fast. We flew forward, dodging danmaku, doing twists in the air, spiraling around each other, and becoming dizzy.

"It seems that just one tengu is hard to deal with. It's questionable if we can deal with this one," Midori said. I shook my head.

"No way," I said, turning around and launching danmaku at Momiji. "We'll definently defeat her," I said. On my mental command, the bat spread it's wings. It's wings caught air, and we moved backwards, fast. Momiji turned, and swung her sword, missing me by inches.

"She's in my sights. Here's four shots," Midori yelled. I saw her load four arrows, and launch them at Momiji. They bounced off Momiji's shield harmlessly. Momiji then turned in Midori's direction, and I took this opportunity to go downward, and catch her on surprise.

"I've got her!" I yelled, releasing a red blast of energy. Momiji dodged it, going a little to the right. I sped up, and was right next in her in a matter of seconds. She noticed me, and put her shield up. I swung Levateinn, and it made a large gash in her shield. She swung back, but I was already above her.

Midori flew behind Momiji... A mistake... All of a sudden, Momiji turned, and raised her sword. Midori gasped. When Momiji's sword came down, it released a big energy explosion, throwing Midori and her serpent back.

"Ah!" Midori screamed.

"Midori," I said, not noticing Momiji sending out danmaku. I managed to dodged the first one, but the second one connected with my thoughtform's head. The thoughtform angled upward, throwing me off, then exploded. My arm began to throb with pain.

I gasped, then looked around to find Midori. I spotted her going down, the snake barely holding on to her, trying to keep them up, with one wing damaged, to no avail.

Momiji began heading for her, and I panicked.

"Midori... GET UP!" I yelled.

Midori P.O.V

"Midori... GET UP," I heard someoen yell.

I gasped, and my body arch upward. I felt myself falling, and I reached up to get a good grip on Attor. I looked up to see one of his wings blown off. He hissed with pain, writhing from so much stress. I stroked his head.

"Don't worry, this will all be over soon. You get some good rest," I said. Attor miniturized, and wound around my neck. To keep myself from falling, I summoned a magic circle under my feet.

"Tch, some friend I am... Oh well, this next move will end everything," I said, my voice breaking from so much pain. I held my hands out, and several arrows materialized in front of me. My bow also materialized in front of me. I loaded the arrows, and spoke an incantation.

"Zwelph Kitazra Hmalch Impator Nachrick... Malnor Zefrich Paznor," I said, my arrows glowing blue.

"You can't possibly dodge these... Not with that gash in your shield," I said, and released my arrows. The arrows flew at Momiji. She tried to swipe at them, but they were too fast. She dodged left, down, right, right again, then held up her shield.

This is where the fun starts.

Instead of bouncing off, the arrows stuck to her shield, due to the gash Flandre put there, and glowed blue.

"Gotcha!" I yelled. The arrows exploded, making a cloud of black smoke. I smiled, and watched, then felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked back to see Flandre smiling at me.

She gave me a thumbs up, and we slapped hands.

Huff Huff.

We looked back to see Momiji bloodied, with several cuts on her body. Deep cuts.

"You haven't won... There will be others... You-" she began, but was cut off by Flandre.

"Eratico!" Flandre said, and the area around Momiji exploded, sending Momiji flying off into the distance.
