Hey guys, sorry for the delay.

Problem child of Gensokyo

Chapter 3

"Sakuyaaaa, I am bored. Let's go outside."

Sakuya Izayoi, the silver haired chief maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, turned towards her mistress, when she made a childish comment, and said, "I apologise Ojou-sama, but since the sun is still out, it will be too dangerous for you."

Remilia Scarlet, the head of Scarlet household and guardian of Flandre Scarlet, pouted and replied, "I will cover myself, come on, let's go."

Remilia was a cute young girl with red eyes, purple hair, a violet dress and two bat wings on her back, she was currently seated on a sofa, with Sakuya next to her.

'She sounds like a child.' Sakuya sighed, despite her age, Remilia still had the mind of the age her body would suggest.

"No, just no." Sakuya said strictly.

"But-" Remilia tried to protest, but stopped midway and froze.

"Is something wrong?" Sakuya asked in a worried tone.

"Nothing." Her mistress said slowly, "I... thought I felt the presence of an intruder."

"Intruder?" the maid asked, alarmed.

"Yes. But it should not be possible, how would someone's presence suddenly appear out of nowhere."

It was true, even if they were to assume it was someone who could hide their presence, why would they stop hiding right after coming inside.

"It was probably nothing." Remilia said, "But back to the topic-"

'Here we go again.'

"-if you will not allow me to go out, then can we at least have a party."

Sakuya, knowing that it was no use to try and protest, just replied with, "Ok, but later. Please."

The way she said 'please' left no room to protest.

Remilia nooded, albeit with a pout, "Geez, you sound like my mother."

The maid, though staggering at the remark of her mistress, found a way to tease her back, "Except, you a almost 10 times as old as me."

Remilia huffed at the direct jab at her age, mildly offended.

But before she could respond, the head of Scarlet mansion froze again.

"Ojou-sama." Sakuya asked her with worry, which only increased further when, Remilia suddenly rose up from her seat.

"There is an intruder here." She said her eyes narrowing, "Sakuya."

"Yes." The maid immediately straightened up at her mistresses' serious tone.

"Tell the fairy maids to be very cautious, and go check the mansion, take Patche's help, if you have to. I want that intruder captured, try not to kill them, but do it if you have no choice. Use your ability to stop time, if you are unable to find them otherwise."

Sakuya nodded and quickly went out to complete the task given to her.

Remilia sat back down with a sigh, 'How could an intruder have come here without anyone finding out?'

A common intruders would be Marisa the witch, but she was the kind of person who would announce to the world that she is there, that girl can't be stealthy to save her life.

And another point of worry would be the fact than, she was unable to gauge the intruders powers, Remilia was no sensor, but she had enough ability to sense someone's power roughly. But this intruder had their presence distorted, and it felt like something was blocking her from properly sensing them.

And then there was the fact that this intruder appeared out of nowhere.

While this all worried her, Remilia felt a wave of excitement hit her, 'Maybe, I can get a little entertainment out of this.'

And who knows, maybe even a lot.

"So this all you need to know." The vampire named Flandre Scarlet finished giving Izayoi a crash course on Gensokyo.

'This, might just be much more exciting than I thought.' He was feeling more excited that he had felt even when fighting Baron La Croix. This Gensokyo place seemed to be filled with some very powerful entities, who could quell his boredom.

Seeing Izayoi's excited look, Flandre felt a smile making it's way to her lips, it was a warm feeling, to see someone she likes happy.

"Now then." The purple eyed boy named Izayoi Sakamaki got up releasing Flandre from his arms, much to her disappointment. "Let's go."

"Huh." Flandre asked him surprised.

"Don't you 'Huh' me." Izayoi rolled his eyes, "Didn't I say that we will be leaving this place to travel, right after you tell me about Gensokyo."

"Yes, but- Eeeep." She was interrupted mid sentence as he grabbed her hands and pulled her up, causing her to stand.

"No buts. Let's go." He said, "Unless you don't want to."

"NO." She said a little louder than usual, "I want to go, its just that." Flandre looked down.

Izayoi sighed, and said gently, "Tell me what is it."

"I think we need to figure out how to explain you to my sister and others before we go out."

"Meh, we will figure something out." Izayoi just shrugged.

Flandre giggled at his response, it was kind of funny.

"Besides." Izayoi turned toward the entrance, "I doubt we have the time, since three women, are coming here, about... right now."

"Wha-" Flandre stopped giggling, turning towards where he was pointing, and sure enough, at that very moment, three women entered, a girl that looked just like herself but with purple hair came in followed by another purple haired girl and a silver haired women in maid outfit.

In front of Remilia Scarlet stood two young women, one was the chief maid of Scarlet mansion Sakuya, and another was a girl with purple hair, purple eyes and wearing what appeared to be a gown.

This was Patchouli Knowledge, a witch who was over a hundred years old and had an enormous amount of power.

"So you guys were unable to find anything, even when using your powers."

Disbelief was almost audible in Remilia's usually childish or polite voice, for two of her most competent friends/subordinates to be unable to find the intruder, it was quite shocking.

"I tried to find the intruder with magic, but it felt like something was blocking my spell from finding anything, Sorry." Patchouli, or as Remilia called her, Patche, said, apologised for being unable to do anything to help her friend.

"No, it's not your fault, whoever's is the intruder is very good at avoiding detection." Remilia said quickly, not wanting her friend to feel guilty for something out of her control. She herself had tried to use her fate manipulation to find the intruder in possible future routes, but for some reason, her ability was not working properly, and she was unable to determine anything. "Did you find anything in stopped time, Sakuya."

The maid shook her head, "No."

Remilia sighed in disappointment but she perked up when Sakuya continued, "But, there was one room I did not check."

"But why did you n-" Remilia interrupted her self in realisation, "You don't mean..."

Her maid finished for her, " It was in Flandre-Ojou-sama's room."

'Flandre's room, then why have they not been killed already.'' Flandre's ability should have destroyed them, unless, the intruder was..

"Yukari." Remilia growled, "What does she want from my sister?"

Remilia seeks entertainment, more than anything, but she will murder anyone who trys to hurt any resident of Scarlet mansion, even if they were one of the strongest yokai to ever exist.

"The gap yokai." Patchouli muttered, "She can do that, yes, but why would she?"

"We will find out soon enough." Remilia growled as she stepped towards the direction of her sister's room. "Let's go, Sakuya, Patche."

Sakuya nodded and followed her.

Patche sighed and said, "Well, if it is her, you will need all the help you can get so..." before following them, or more like floated using magic.

The walk to Flandre's room was not short, but it was also not very long, it was just that the Scarlet mansion was very big and its size only increased when Sakuya used her space manipulation to expand it.

"We are here. Don't let your guard down." Remilia said, as all three of them entered the room, first herself, then followed by the other two.

The room was black in darkness and did not have many things in it, partially due to Flandre's destructive ability.

But what surprised her, and her companions, was when they found Flandre standing next to a blond haired purple eyed handsome boy, and they were.. talking?

And while it was very shocking to see Flandre talking with someone without trying to kill them, it was even more shocking to see the blond haired boy not appearing to be afraid, instead he was smiling and Flandre was...giggling.

All in all, it was a very bizzare scene.

By the time she snapped out of her surprise, and reached them, she was able to hear the blond boy say something to Flandre, it was, "...three women, are coming here, about... right now."

For a human to figure out where the three of them were and there perfect timing of arrival, and not be surprised or afraid, it was...intriguing to say the least.

'This is intersting.' "Who are you, human?" Not letting her interest show on her face, Remilia asked him.

Despite them not spending a lot of time together, Flandre was able to read her sisters emotions through experience alone, even when Remilia trys to hid them, and she she could tell, that her elder sister was interested in Izayoi Sakamaki.

'Too bad sister, he is mine.' Flandre thought fiercely, as she shifted closer to the purple eyed boy, she was not going to let her sister take him away from her.

Izayoi on the other hand was... amused?

Not surprising, considering he was excited to find a challange.

'The one with purple eyes, she has an enormous amount of some strange energy, but she seems to be weak physically, hm, interesting.'

"Remi, that boy, he has some strange ability which is blocking my magic from affecting him." The purple eyed one said.

The one she called 'Remi' nooded at that.

'So the power inside her is magic?' Izayoi wondered how it would be like to fight her if his strange 'gift' as Canaria called it could resist her magic. "You know it's kind of rude to ask for someones name before introducing yourself, but since I am the one intruding, guess I will play along."

He place his hands in his pocket and said, "My name is Izayoi, Izayoi Sakamaki."

"Oh." The purple haired loli turned towards the girl with silver hair, " 'Izayoi', think he might be related to you, Sakuya."

'Sakuya? So this is the maid that Flandre said can stop time.' If so, the she must have been the one to have stopped time a prior to them coming here. Izayoi had been unaffected due to his 'gift', but Flandre had been frozen and he was so bored that he almost went out to explore, but decided against it.

"No, I don't think so." Sakuya shook her head.

'Remi', who he guessed was Flandre's sister Remilia Scarlet, 'hmmm'ed and then turned to him, "Ah, where are my manners, I am Remilia Scarlet, the sister of Flandre." She pointed towards Sakuya, "This is my personal maid, and also the chief maid of this mansion, Sakuya Izayoi."

"And finally-" She wan interrupted by the purple eyed girl, who introduced herself, "I am Patchouli Knowledge."

While Sakuya seemed to be on guard and Remilia looked like a little girl, who had just seen an interesting doll, Patchouli looked, interested in him, but not terribly so, like a book that she would read is given the chance, but will not be very disappointed if such a chance never comes.

"Now then-" Remilia Scarlet narrowed her eyes, somehow looking suspitions and fascinated at the same time "How did you get here?"

"Well, I would prefer to talk while sitting comfortably, if you don't mind." Izayoi was not the kind of person who would just let someone boss him around, if she wanted answers, it will be on his terms. "But, if it feels better, I am not here by choice, I don't know how I got here, and I don't mean any harm, unless one of you attacks me first that is."

"Not by choice." Remilia's eyes shone with interest, and it seemed like she wanted to ask more but instead decide to wait. "Very well, we can talk in the guest room."

Izayoi nooded before Flandre suddenly said, "Wait."

"Is something the matter Flandre?" Remilia asked her, blinking, having not expected her sister to say anything.

"I-" The younger vampire flattered a little, "Can I came too?"

"It is too dangerous." He sister said, not leaving any room to argument.

Flandre flinched, but then straightening up she glared at her sister, but before she could say anything, Izayoi shrugged and said, "I don't mind, let her come."

"What made you think you can decide anything?" Despite her statement, Remilia's words held no hostility, just curiousity.

"Its not my decision, but hers, she wants to come, then I don't mind, and neither should you, after all, it's her choice." Izayoi narrowed his eyes, "She doesn't deserve to be left alone, just because of her powers."

Just like he was, people used him and then left him, he knew they were selfish, so he never cared, but Flandre's case was different, it was her own family that left her alone. To add fuel to the fire, he completed his sentence with, "Of course, this all only applies if you care for her that is." He could understand, why Flandre was dangerous, but that was not any reason for her own sister to not visit her, at least sometimes.

There was only silence after his last statement before...

"HOW DARE YOU HUMAN."

Remilia Scarlet was furious, so furious that she did not even pay attention to the tense and pale Patchouli and Sakuya behind her, she just glared at the blond haired purple eyed boy in front of her.

'How DARE he say that.' She thought furiously, 'What gives him the right to say that I don't care for my own sister.'"Triggered?" The boy named Izayoi Sakamaki said sounding amused, "Geez you are such a child, aren't you supposed to be hundreds of years old."

This only served to enrage her further. Remilia lunged at him with speed that could rival, or maybe even surpass, a tengu's and then punched Izayoi with all her might.

There was a shockwave generated from it, if Remilia was paying more attention, she would have realised, that just the backlash from such a powerful attack, should have created a large hole in the mansion, but she was unable to do so at first, due to her rage, but when she looked up at her target, expecting to see blood stains, only to see something, which shocked her beyond belief, and left both Sakuya and Patchouli speechless. But Flandre was unsurprised, instead she looked very angry for some reason.

Izayoi was standing there, not looking even slightly harmed he had blocked her punch with just one hand, and was actually looking bored, "Is that all? Honestly expected more from a vampire"

She was unable to register his statement, as she forgot her anger due to shock.

"I- You- What?" Remilia muttered shell shocked that a human was able to survive her full power strike.

Izayoi sighed, and then...

Pak*

He flicked her forehead.

"Ow, It hurts." Remilia had tears in her eyes, how did a human have so much power?

"You get triggered so easily." Izayoi said looking her directly into the eyes.

She glared at him, "You-"

Pak*

"Ouch *sniff*" Remilia sniffed, more tears appearing in her eyes, he had flicked her forehead again.

Izayoi sighed again and said, "Look, I am sorry for implying that you don't love your sister. I might have went too far with it. I knew you love her, but I wanted to see it with my own eyes."

She blinked, before gasping when he gently rubbed her head.

'Eh.' Remilia's cheeks reddened, she had not been treated like this, even Sakuya never did something like patting her head, though it was mostly because of her being Remilia's maid.

When she regained her senses, she could swear she heard Flandre growling.

"And." His words brought her back her attention to him, "Like I thought, you do love her alot. Good" He nodded, and...

Pak*

"Whhhyyyy?" Remilia whimpered when Izayoi flicked her forehead again.

"Because you are too quick to anger, I thought it will take much more to trigger you. Though it does show how much you care for your sister." he chucked and she can't help but smile at him.

"Onii-chan."

Remilia flinched when she heard her sister's voice calling out. She looked at her sister and much to her surprise, Flandre hugged her, and whispered, "Thank you."

Remilia smiled even wider, and then Flandre released her. She looked at her younger sister and turned pale immediately.

"We need to talk as well." Flandre's smile turned way too sweeter, and a dangerous aura surrounded her.

'Why is she so angry?' Remilia whimpered mentally.

To be continued...
