Chapter 1: Tall and Pretty
Parsee sighed. Living in the darkness for so long had led to her senses becoming sharper. She could hear a bat squeak in the darkness above, feel the tremors from the partying Onis, see the water drip off the stalactites, taste the dank air of the cave, and smell the sulfur from the forgotten Hell. Even now, she could hear two people, Onis maybe?, walking down the path towards her.
"Thash was funn Yuuuuugi! We shhould get Tenshiii to drinnk moe saake!"
Yep, they were Onis.
"Hhh, Suika, why did you have to do that with Reimu's perfect little angel? What will Tewi say, eh?"
Parsee was sitting on the side of her little rundown bridge that spanned the pool of water that lay in the smack-dab middle of the tunnel. She saw the two Onis, one short and lolita looking, the other tall and stunning. The two Youkai started to pass her, she had her back to the two, when she heard a crack.
"Agh! Look out!"
Parsee felt someone hit her back. With a cry, she fell into the deep water. Even though Parsee had lived there for most of her life, she had never bothered to teach herself how to swim. Coupled by the fact that her head hit something hard, she had started to feel the dark embrace of unconsciousness.
Then something warm and soft wrapped itself around her midriff. It pulled her up, but then her head hit that thing again. Darkness covered her eyes.
Parsee's eyes opened. She felt something soft press on her lips, air shoot down her windpipe, then water rush up her throat. Spluttering, she coughed up water, memories of what had occurred crashing into her mind.
"Are you okay? Oh geez, I'm so sorry! Part of my geta broke, and I fell on top of you!"
She blinked. Looming over her was the tall, gorgeous Oni. Her blonde hair was wet, and her white top and translucent skirt were now all to revealing. Was this beautiful girl actually talking to her!?
"Uhhh, er, yes. I'm okay."
The Oni wiped her forehead, at least, the part she could that wasn't dominated by her horn, relief flooding her face. "Oh thank the gods!" She turned her head, "Suika! Get yer' butt over here!"
Parsee looked to where the Oni's eyes were looking. Sitting on a crate, taking large gulps from a gourd, was the loli Oni. "Wha Yuugi?"
"Just bring the crate!" Tall and Pretty, Yuugi, helped her sit up. "So, what's your name, blondie?"
As Loli, Suika, picked up the crate and stumbled over, Parsee said: "M-Mizuhashi Parsee."
"Well Pars, lemme give ya somethin' as an apology gift." Reaching into the crate, Yuugi pulled out a long, thin bottle. Handing it over, Yuugi said: "This is the best sake we got. Hope ya like it!"
Suika picked up the crate as Yuugi stood up. She waved as they walked off, "Bye Pars, I'll be seein' ya!"
Parsee watched the pair walk off. Pulling the cork off, she drank the liquid. It burned going down, and left her feeling a little dizzy and warm. She felt jealous of how tall and pretty Yuugi was… But it was a… nicer jealousy?
'Yuugi…'
The next morning, after Yuugi had gotten back from walking home with Suika, was a lazy day. Somehow, she had broken off a chunk of the teeth on her geta, making it impossible to walk without falling. With that, she set off to the market place, barefoot unfortunately.
Walking along, she couldn't help but remember Suika's antics the night before at Reimu's little party…
"Everyone! We're here!" Suika carried two large crates, filled with sake of course, inside the Hakurei Shrine. Yuugi followed her, already drinking from a bottle.
"About time," started Reimu, "I was about to think this was going to be a dry party."
"Nonsense," said Yuugi. "When have we NEVER shown up with the booze?"
Marisa had already pulled out two bottles, handing one to a surprised Alice, "That one time when you two drank it all before getting here comes to mind, daze."
"Hey," Yuugi held up her hands in mock surrender, "That was Suika, not me."
"Guilty!" The little Oni started to pass out the bottles to the partygoers. Aya opted to get a dish, as did Yukari, Ran, Yuyuko, Youmu, and Reimu. Alice, under the pleadings of Marisa, Marisa and Tenshi chose not to.
"This," gagged Tenshi after swallowing a mouthful, "Is strong stuff."
"Yooooou bet!" Suika grabbed the bottle and Tenshi's head and started to pour the liquor down the Celestial's throat. "So drink up, ya hear?"
This lead to a rather hammered Tenshi and Suika attempting to fight invisible intruders, then to a kiss, that Tenshi, if not both of them, would regret later.
Chuckling, Yuugi stepped over an Oni who had been to one too many bars last night. Rounding the corner, she almost ran into a shorter, glummer individual.
"Hoshiguma," said the little Youkai, "you should be more careful."
"Sorry Satori," Yuugi chuckled, "it appears I have a knack of running into people lately."
"You're barefoot."
"Yeah," Yuugi rubbed the back of her head, "my geta broke when I was crossing the bridge. Almost drowned the blondie who had been sitting there, too."
Komeji Satori looked at Yuugi with a question in her eyes. "Blonde? Do you mean Mizuhashi Parsee?"
"Ummmm yeah? What about her?" Yuugi was confused by the sudden interest in the Youkai.
"She's a Bridge Princess, Hoshiguma," stated Satori, "she has no friends, nor can she wander to far from her bridge. She is effectively, ah what is the joke from the Outside World again, forever alone."
That peaked Yuugi's attention. She may not know exactly what a Bridge Princess was, but she knew they didn't deserve to be alone forever. "You don't say…" She headed back in the direction of the store that sold geta, "Well, nice talking to ya Satori!"
No one deserved to be alone…
~Meh, a little cheesy, but I'm a little time crunched. Inspired by Ryuu Masken and his Parsee x Yuugi. There will be more, with some M rated things later on. This is one of my favorite pairings, along with Alice x Marisa and Wriggle x Yuuka/Mystia. Advice is, of course, appreciated! How was it for a first story?
And so we go!
