A/N: Also, quality improved in previous chapter!
A/N2: Jeez, time to see just how bad this chapter i- Wait, why am I still Yukari...?
Y/N2: Why, indeed~?
A/N2: ...Why are you me?
Y/N2: Why, indeed~?
A/N2: ...
Y/N2: Ufufu...
A/N2: ...Right... Anywho, on with the show.
Early the next morning, Hakurei shrine, Reimu's PoV:
Damn my head's pounding... Why must I give in to the temptation of a free drink every single time one is offered...? The light pouring in through a slightly ajar sliding-door didn't help in the least, as it made my hangover. Not to mention the fact that Suika was hanging from one of the walls, her horn impaling that very same wall. I was also forced to share my futon with a wounded stranger. Even while drunk, I knew very well not to trust her with Eirin. I couldn't help but shudder at the thought of what the outcome would be.
"Yukari, what in the hells were you thinking...?" I knew she was listening in on me, even if I knew not from where; she always was. Talking to her tends to work like hag-bait on her.
Three...
Two...
One-
As if reading the intentions behind my question, Yukari suddenly popped her upper body out of a gap from behind me, wrapping her arms around me almost tenderly. "Yes, Reimu~?"
I let out an irritated growl, and broke free of her hold. "Don't you 'Yes, Reime~?' me!" My imitation of Yukari's voice was that of the high-pitched, mocking variety. "What's wrong with you?! You could have killed this girl, last night!" I pointed to the still unconcious girl, who looked completely healthy. However, as she was a youkai now, looks could be quite decieving. It's not the physical one usually has to worry about, with them; mental traumas are more effective on their minds, for whatever reason.
Yukari began to pout, and used the gap she had popped in from as a chair of sorts. "But she bit me... I'm sure you can understand attacking with unreasonable force~?" At seeing me flinch slightly, she turned that frown up-side down. I have been known to go all out against even the weakest of youkai. And I do lose my temper just as easily, so I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrit... "Plus, she was too interesting to not mess around with." She pulled a fan from her gap-chair, and opened it, hiding a bit of a grin. Now I know something is up... but what...?
"Regardless, it's your own fault that you got bitten; had you not had the bright idea to turn her into a rabbit, she likely never would have in the first place." I crossed my arms, giving Yukari a grumpy little frown. Heck, if she still bit her, I would say there's something wrong with her head. What human goes around randomly biting people's ankles...?
The elder youkai began to giggle, closing her fan. "What's done is done~" She waved off the serious atmophere like it was nothing. "Besides, she's better off like this. She's ohh so very sturdy, now." As I opened my mouth to retort, Yukari went on to add, "Besides, had you actually cared, you would have given her to Eirin."
As I was about to explain exactly why I couldn't do such a thing, I noticed the girl-turned-rabbit-youkai begin to stir, wincing in pain a fair bit. I chose to ignore the comment that shouldn't need to have been said, and made my way to the rabbit girl's side. "Are you alright?" At my question she winced harder, as if it had caused her pain.
"P-please, stop shouting so loudly..." Her voice was a tad weak, and as such was very quiet. "I... My head hurts... W-where am I...?"
I gave the girl an incredulous look, trying to figure out what she meant; I hadn't been particularly shouting, really.
With a sigh, Yukari popped into the gap she was resting upon, and appeared within my view, pointing to her ears. I opened my mouth to ask what she meant, and then closed it. It's the ears, huh...?
I began to whisper. "Alright, I'll get you something for that." I quickly made my way to a closet, and fetched an old blanket, before returning. "This should help..." I placed the still folded thing on top of the bunny-girl's ears, and then switched back to talking more normally. "Is that better?"
She gave me a gentle smile, and nodded. "Y-yeah. Thank you, miss..." Soon she was once again asleep, that happy little smile staying upon her lips as if etched in stone.
Yukari made a thoughtful hum at my lack of knowing the problem. "I have decided to take care of the outsider~"
I gave her an amused look. "You...? You mean your Shikigami, right?"
The hag in purple pouted like a child at this claim. "I have no idea what you mean...!" After that, she began to grin. "That is, unless taking care of a youkai is your dream job. I can see it now: Hakurei donations at an all time lo-" The end part was a rather good immitation of Aya.
"Take the rabbit." I could stand for many things, but lowered donations are not one of them. ...Have I ever even gotten a donation, now that I think about it...? Well, that's not important right now. What is, is that I might never see any, if I let a scary looking- Okay, I can't even think that with a strait face; she's a harmless-looking youkai. "...Fine."
"Ufufu... I knew you'd see it my way~" She picked the sleeping rabbit up much like a sack of potatoes, the only response she recieved being the twitch of an ear, and a loud snore from said sack.
"...I'm sure you two will get along just fine." I gave the hag a teasing smirk to go with that bit of a burn, which had earned me an irritated look, before Yukari hopped into the floor. Moments later, a hand shot up from the floor, waving goodbye.
I couldn't help but shake my head with a chuckle, before heading outside to start sweeping.
7 days later, Dawn, Hidden home of the Yakumo family, Outsider's PoV:
As the sun began to shine through a western-style window, I tried to roll away from it, only to find a weight upon my chest preventing me from doing so. I used one of my ears to block the rays, and looked at what was causing me to be unable to hide my face from the waiting glare of the sun.
To my surprise, I found a cute little cat, who seemed to have two tails for some reason. What an odd little cat... I wonder where it came from...? I'd not seen a cat the entire time I had been here, and it's not like they kept me in this bed the whole time I was here. I mean, yes, at first I was made to stay in bed, but the people taking care of me have been letting me out of bed of late.
Absent-mindedly, I began to run my hand along the spine of the fur-ball, elliciting a happy little purr from the slumbering cat. I couldn't help but smile a bit at the sounds of enjoyment. It reminded me of something, but I couldn't put my finger on what, exactly; whatever it was, it made me slightly sad to think about it.
After a few minutes of the calming sight, the eastern-style door slid open, revealing miss Ran, who had been my primary care-giver over the last week. "Good morning, outsider. Master has sent me to check on you, as is the norm of late. How is your head fee-" The foxy lady blinked at the sight. "W-what are you...?" I could see that she was trembling. I wonder why that is...? "What in the world do you think you are doing to my shikigami, you perverted rabbit?" She had a hidden sort of anger to her, making her eyes look angry, even if she was still smiling.
Wait, what? "W-what? But I've not done anything to her...? I've only seen her rarely the whole time I had been here...!" I frantically tried to crawl out of the hole I had somehow dug for myself, all the while stroking the cat. Wait, that's it! The cat! First off, I have to stop rubbing miss Ran's pussy-cat, and with that out of the way, there is only one forseeable way out of this situation. "S-sorry, I didn't realise untill just now that this cat must be your Chen..."
For the next few moments, Ran gave me a searching look, as if she was looking for any hint of a lie. Satisfied with her search, the nine-tailed woman let out a sigh. "Forgive me if I jumped to conclusions. If you did not know, than it cannot be helped." Where once her clawed hands were ready to evicerate me, they were now inside of the opposite sleeve, making it look much like there was only a single arm that went from shoulder to shoulder.
"No, umm... I-It's my fault for not realizing soo-ahh...!" Suddenly I felt an light pressure against my breasts, and couldn't help but squirm; Chen had woken up, and was stretching on my chest. Her paws had somehow found purchase on the most sensitive location found upon my nearly plane-like hills.
Ran chose this time to get a nose-bleed over how cutely Chen was acting, while Chen chose now to sink her un-naturally sharp claws into the soft flesh. I couldn't help but make a rabbit-like shriek, and try to squirm out of the hold, thus alerting the cat to something being wrong.
Looking down at the moist feel, her eyes began to widen in panic; blood was pooling in a small area of the comforter that was under-foot.
Instantly returning to her humanoid form, which was sans clothes thanks to her cat form not fitting in her outfit, she began to appologise. "I-I'm shorry!"
However, she was also standing on my wounded breasts at this time, I had begun to go quite pale from the pain, letting out a slightly louder shriek, before passing out.
"Ahh...! Mashter Ran, heeelp...!" She looked over to the fox with begging, teary eyes, which caused the fox's face to errupt with blood, before she fell over. Anemia can be quite the effective way to knock-out even a youkai, not that I really knew this.
"A-ahh...!" She looked about in panic. "M-mashteeeeer...!" She broke into sobs, thinking she had killed us both.
At hearing the request for aid, Yukari popped her head into the blood-bath of a room, and sighed at the almost comical sight. She shook her head in irritation, before getting to work on fixing the situation.
A/N: Alright, the first true chapter is complete! My thanks go out to my first review, who pointed out things needing fixing in a... rather vague way!
