Disclaimer: Nooooo, the box was knocked over, and my brain is now all over the ground! Wait, I can think outside the box! Huzzah! Touhou belongs to Zun.

A/N: Gah! been getting less and less viewers these last few days! Nearly at none, now! I hope I didn't chase everybody off... that's a lot of my motivation... Also, I think I'm going to start including the night activities of those who are nocturnal within Team 9. I feel like I'm neglecting them... On with the show!

Yuuka: Neglect play can be quite stimulating to one inclined to such—

Author: That's hardly what I meant.

Yuuka: Then what did you mean?

Author: Well, I kinda meant that, erm...

Yukari: My, she's blushing~

Yuuka: Weeell~?

Author: I-it's embarrassing...

Yukari: That just makes one more curious, you realize.

Author: F-fine! I get lonely easily, these days!

Yuuka: Hardly something to be embarrassed over.

Author: R-really...?

Yukari: I would more embarrassed about that hat~ What's next, will you tie a red ribbon in your hair? Or perhaps combine Koishi and Rumia fashion?

Author: Ohh, hush. Let's just get on with the show...

Late afternoon, base of Youkai Mountain:

Aya's head popped out from the secret entrance to her house, looking about for anyone that might be about. Spying not a one, she sneaked out. After she was sure the coast was clear, she motioned for me to come closer. She had, of course, listened for a few minutes before that, and even done something with the wind.

I popped my head out of the cave, just as Aya's had before me, before I silently buzzed over to the tengu's side.

Aya smirked, and grabbed me by the wrist, before taking off strait upwards in order to have a clear flying space. I assumed it was to clear her path, as I have heard that she is liable to lose at danmaku if she goes too fast.

Boy do I hope not to play danmaku with trees: they're very poor sports, and hardly care if they break the rules. Sure, Aya might live, but myself...

Once she had taken the two of us high enough, she suddenly swung her fan at the same time as flapping her wings particularly hard, thus using it to suddenly breakout into a sprint of sorts, when it comes to flight. We were flying like a particularly sane bat out of hell, but I was hardly paying attention to the world around me as it blurred on by, and was instead screaming my head off, silenced by the sheer speeds in which we were traveling at. I knew Aya was called 'The fastest in Gensoukyou', but I had no idea anyone could even go this fast! As quickly as we had started, Aya put on the breaks and we were once more still.

Of course, that didn't stop me, only her, and I was only stopped from hitting the peak of the mountain by the iron grip of the tengu. I can only imagine how powerful her arms are. I've heard tales of strong youkai crushing walnuts with their pinkies.

...I've also heard tales of her drinking with oni, so it makes one wonder.

"You okay over there, Wriggle?" Asked Aya, who wore a large grin. She saw before her a bug which was hyperventilating. Obviously I was just dandy!

"Wh-what..." I took a gasping breath. "What do you think...?" I took another gasp of air. "You could have warned me, you know!" I shouted, glaring at her, before looking away with a 'hmph'. I was easily surprised, and was mostly just embarrassed at myself for screaming as I had. At least Aya wasn't saying anything about blackmail, so that's a good sign. I've heard horror stories involving tengu...

"Ayayaya... Don't be like that, Wriggle! Cheer up; it's not like I meant any harm by it, you know!" Pleaded Aya, sounding worried. Just then, she looked off into the distance, obviously spotting something.

"I-It's not like I'm mad at you, or anythi— Ehh?" I began to respond, a big blush on my face, before I had been grabbed once more — and yet again without warning — by the tengu who had located our quarry. As her target was an animal, Reimu's rules had no hold over her in this situation. In a blurred motion, the horse was bisected. Aya smiled to herself at the clean cut, before landing with me still at hand. The remaining horses fled the scene, obviously fearing for their lives. I mean, wouldn't you if you watched someone close to you get cut in half? It's a wonder that nobody had settled these parts, really. It doesn't seem as bad as you'd expect. Sure, it's mostly barren, but that could be fixed easily enough.

"Alright, I got one! Didja see that, Wriggle? A nice clean kill, too!" Boasted the excited big bird, to myself, the little bug beside her, before she began to lick the horse blood from her hand. There had been a bit of a spray of viscera from the horse, not that either of us payed the blood any mind.

I honestly never understood how humans could get so squeamish around gore. They eat meat for crying out loud!

"Y-yeah, but... could you please not go so fast while dragging me about, next time...?" I pleaded, feeling a bit dizzy by this point. Unlike Aya, I wasn't used to such insane speeds, let alone going at such a speed suddenly, without any warning.

"Ahh, sorry about that, I'm used to flying solo! Well, you grab the lighter half, and I'll grab the side with the head, alright, princess?" Teased Aya, with a cheeky little smirk. She obviously wasn't expecting me to take that as a pet name, though.

"P-pr-p-princess? I-I... Wh- I'm n- Did- But-" I stumbled with my words, having so many things to say, and so little time. The way I dressed had gotten me mistaken for a boy on numerous occasions, and to be called one of the girliest titles imaginable, my heart had been blindsided. Aya simply raised a brow, before letting out a chuckle. Moments later, a different quality filled her face: a grin. The grin was different from the others I had seen, in that it reminded me the slightest bit of my Mistress, when she's feeling playful.

Or my mother, for that matter.

"What, can't handle that much weight? My, how dainty we are!" Aya continued to tease, causing me to blush brighter still at being called 'dainty'. Aya grinned, obviously seeing the opening I had in my defenses, and wishing to exploit it ruthlessly.

"Maybe I should just make you my bride, and shower you with affection!" Joked Aya, who had a grin stretched across her face. I was beginning to grow weak in the knees, and silently mouthed questions that never made it to my vocal cords. Aya's onslaught of saying such things to me was majorly taking its toll, before my knees suddenly buckled, after mulling over the word 'bride' for longer than one should. Aya looked at the collapsed form of her little morsel, before panic became obvious upon her features.

"Bu-b-but I'm... I'm not c-cute at all...! I'd never make a good... b-b-bride..." I answered, the most tear-stained, angelic look upon my face, while looking toward my bird-brain of a crush. Aya looked away quickly so as to prevent a nose bleed. What a powerful weapon Wriggle had when she was like that, able to instantly strike her feathered friend with an arrow through the heart.

And sudden, her eye twitched, before a naughty grin stretched across her cheeks. Just as suddenly, she pounced me. "Dyuhuhuhu..." Giggled Aya goofily, while pinning me to the ground. But when Wriggle though about it, there was really no time for her to be ravished like this, so she skillfully twisted the pin, and managed to pin Aya down. Aya wasn't particularly heavy, and as such was easy to toss about: a bird, even a youkai bird, had hollow bones, after all. I actually weighted a fair bit more than Aya, even with Aya being a full head taller, which was made apparent at this juncture. I had learned this through having to carry a certain hurt bird home at one point.

"Now, now, Aya. Later." I said, before kissing the stunned Tengu, and getting back up. The sudden shock of being pounced had knocked me back to reality, and I had bent to grab my half of the horse to carry, when I suddenly felt a hand on my rear. I should have pressed my advantage to pin her arms, it seems.

"N-not... now!" I shouted, a bit less convincing this time. Aya just pulled me closer, and kept going. Kissing me on the collar bone, her hand still rubbing my rear end.

"N-n-no, not n-now, Aya...!" I was trembling as I shouted at Aya, attempting to resist the mighty tengu's desire-filled actions. Both of her hands sneaking around to the front of my body, one creeping up my tight blouse, while the other simply worked its way into my green puffy pants. I couldn't take it any more and passed out. Aya chuckles, before throwing me over her shoulder, grabbing a half of the horse in each hand, and flying off, having obviously been lying about having difficulties carrying it.
