Discaimer: The hat upon the girls head began to lift up, within were rows upon rows of razor sharp teeth. Touhou belongs to Zun.
A/N: Ugh... sorry that it's a tad short... kept getting auto logged out every time I tried to mess with it, so I ended up making it while sleepy. Also doesn't help that I may be sick. And now we all have joined up once more! Once things heat up, I'm going to change style a bit so as to make things work better with such a number of people. On with the show!
Twilight, Cirno's house:
"Ehh? Why did you bring her with you, Wriggle?" asked my master, who was backing away from the stranger.
"Well, we've had a long, long day... It seems like the vast majority of the population is missing, even the Red-white herself! We've taken it upon ourselfs to solve it, and Mokou here joined up to help us, so she's here with us." Answered Wriggle, while looking around. Why was it that none of us were missing? The only ones that arn't from the group, yet arn't missing, would be Usagi, who was an honorary member, Aya, who was also an honorary member, the pair of gods on the mountain tops, and Mokou. Other than that, it seems like every living creature was just... gone!
"Gone? That doesn't sound good..." Said Mystia, while Cirno was backed against the farthest area in the house from Mokou. It seemed she realy didn't like the girl... I wonder why?
"Is that so~?" said the ball of black, before it faded away revealing an overheated looking Daiyousei, and a certain darness youkai, who wore a grim expression.
"Usa, get away from the fire girl, or you're gonna melt!" Ordered my master, which made me jump and skitter off to join my master in the corner. I realy didn't want to find out what melting felt like unless it was unavoidable!
"Said I was sorry 'bout that... Thought you were the princess." Said the angry looking stranger. Just what had transpired to get my master to react like that? Did she... make my master melt? And my master called her 'fire girl' ...Was she some sort of fire creature?
"Now that that's over with... Why is it that none of you are freaked out by the walls being playing cards? Or for that matter, the fog!" Asked Aya, while looking at the walls. the single king card was now training it's eye on her while grinning. Cirno perked up at the mention of the fog I had seen earlier.
"Ehh? You mean I'm not the only one that can see this?" I asked, with a smile. I wasn't going insane after all!
"See what?" Mystia looked to us like we were going insane, it would seem she couldn't see it.
"Is that so~?" Rumia asked, while thinking about the current happenings. Fog that can't be seen, and an odd change to the house of the creepy variety. This reeked of 'incident' if nothing else.
"Hmm... So Usu wasn't just seeing things, just as I had thought." This drew everyone's attention to Cirno.
"What, you mean you saw this coming?" Aya snorted at the idea of the nine having the mental capacity for even that simple of a task.
"Yeah, I figured there to be something up when Usa had a horrible dream... She was torn limb from limb, and beheaded. What's more concerning, however, was the fact that she not only felt the pain, but she coughed blood into my mo- o-onto the sheets, after waking up. Furthermore, she has odd scars everywhere she said she took damage." Aya was speachless at what the litte fairy had just told her. She hadn't expected clues from such a place at all!
"Well, the other day we were looking for... a friend... and the flowers began to say 'Mugekan' in unison, could that be of any significance?" Added the bug, while trying to piece everything together.
"Mugekan?" Everyone asked at once, we all felt a sort of familiarity in that name, but none could place where from. Almost like a dream we had forgotten, yet sort of remembered, but not quite.
"Couldn't we just follow the direction the fog is flowing from?" Everyone looked at me, even Aya, Wriggle, and Mokou.
"You can see the direction it's flowing from?" Asked Aya, who seemed unable to see the direction the wind was flowing.
"Yeah, can't you? I mean, you just said you can see the fog, right?" Could it be that Aya couldn't see it as well?
"I can't see the flow of it either, Usa..." Wriggle's testamony simply proved my notion further. It would seem that I could see the fog better, somehow.
"Same." The angry looking fire girl can see the fog too? ...Why only their group, and myself? And why would I see it better? Everyone here seemed stronger than me!
"How can't you see the direction it flows from? I can hardly see anything but the fog! It's so thick I could probobly cut it with a knife..." I Asked, chopping my hand through the air, as though a visual demonstation was needed.
"Well, some of us can't see it at all, could it be that you just got luc- Hey, whats up with your scars? They turned to ice!" My master pointed to my shoulder, drawing attention to a ring of ice in the exact areas she had noticed the jagged red marks.
"Ohh, that's interesting..." Aya whiped out her camera, and began to take pictures of me from all angles in the blink of an eye. One of the pictures was, of course, a panty shot. Or, to be a bit more accurate, a rather risque photo. Yukari hadn't given me any underwear, you see.
"Aya..." Wriggle didn't look too pleased, after seeing her love under me for a split second.
"Ayayaya, w-what? I d-didn't do anything wrong!" Aya seemed unable to do anything but lie her way into a deeper grave.
"Well, there will be time to talk more later, but for now, let's eat!" Mystia began to set bowls around the tables, after making this wonderfull suggestion. My stomach rumbles at the mere mention of food being ready, and drool dripped from my mouth. Why was I so hungry? I felt like I could eat and eat and never stop, it was strange. Mystia offered Mokou a bowl, but she declined. Being an immortal, she metabolised food far slower than others. Heck, if she died of hunger, she would come back feeling fine.
