A/N: Will we make it in time for a 3rd update? Yes we can! Once more, on with the show!
Dawn, Hakurei Shrine, Mima's POV:
It feels strange, to be once more sleeping. I hadn't slept in 116 years. The dead need not rest, and I saw no need the whole time I was unsealed. I pick myself up from the floor, my head pounding. I had forgotten what a headache even felt like, and wished I had never been forcefully reminded.
"Ugh... My head..." I groaned, holding my head.
"Who's there?" Reimu slid open the door, and stepped outside. She looked about warily, but nobody was around. I'm glad I've been hiding under the shrine, honestly I'm surprised that nobody has found me yet.
"Ehh? Where's all this holy power coming from...? Sanae, are you hiding under my shrine? I know that you think a lack of common sense is needed to live in Gensokyo, but come on!" Ohh crap. Reimu had felt the holy energy which was once more leaking from my body. Reimu began to kneel beside the shrine, about to look under. Ohh crap, ohh crap!
"Reimuuu..." Suika leaned against the maidens back, the stink of sake wafting from her mouth. I'm saved!
"Ugh... Yes, Suika...?" Reimu had seriously doubted the wisdom in herself for letting the oni stay here.
"I... I shmell ah human... under the shrime..." Dammit! Reimu looked under the shrine, to see what looked very similar to herself. Yet the woman under the shrine wasn't dressed, so It couldn't be her reflection from some strange fairy prank.
"The hell are you under my shrine for? Get out from under there!" Reimu had seen some strange things in her time, but this was one of the strangest.
I began to crawl out from under the shrine, annoyed that I had been discovered so easily.
"...First off, why are you naked?" Always right to the point, arn't you, Reimu.
"Ahh, Yukari-" The Maiden's eyes narrowed at this.
"Say no more..." Reimu had enough info, simply by that name being said, so she stopped my explanation.
"Anyways... Welcome to the Hakurei Shrine, lets get you cleaned up, and dressed, shall we? You look about the same size as me, so how about I lend you one of my outfits? I could use help setting up things for the incident resolution festival, anyways!" Reimu began to walk me over to the hot spring, and simply pushed me in. She never was one to do things with delicacy.
I rushed to the surface, gasping for air. Reimu sure did seem in a hurry! I mean, sure the incident party is usually quite large, seeing as anybody who is anybody shows up, but still!
"Did you have to- Hya...!" Reimu, already disrobed, had begun helping me clean up. If I didn't know better, I'd say that the girl was some kind of pervert! With soap in hand, hands were rubbing my... well, everything, clean. Before long I was sparkly and found myself dry before I knew what hit me. Was the Maiden this desperate to have help? Was the preparation for the feast that horrible? !
"Now we get you dressed!" Reimu seemed oddly enthusiastic, in a way I had never seen. Could it be that she ...enjoyed dressing people up, like this?
The world became a bit blured, Reimu flew towards the shring with me in tow. We were now in Reimu's room, just like that.
"Pick one!" Reimu urged me to chose from one of her 7 identical outfits. All in the same exact size.
"U-uhh... That one...?" I pointed towards the 3rd one from the left, not sure what else to do.
"Good choice, good choice!" ...Reimu was beginning to seriously creep me out at this point, I had never seen her in such high spirits. Reimu simply grinned happily, while helping me into the strange outfit she always wore.
Before I knew it, we were once more on the move. I found myself seated in her dining room, with a cup of tea before me.
"Drink." Reimu grinned, while handing me the cup. Far be it from me to decline free tea, now that I had to worry about things like food and such once more.
"U-umm... Arn't you going to... have some, too?" The whole situation was utterly strange, just what was going on?
"Drink." Reimu simply repeated her prior statement.
I raised the cup to my lip, and noticed Reimu's expression almost shine. I lowered the cup away, and she looked like I killed her dog. I repeated the process, getting the same responces over and over, before I slowly sipped from the cup, savoring the taste of... taste. As a spirit, I was unable to taste. Even if I were to eat, or drink, it would be of no use to me.
"Now that all that is done, what's your name?" The grin on Reimu's face didn't falter when I lowered the cup this time. And now for the moment of truth!
"Ahh, M-Mima." Reimu lifted a brow, not sure what to make of the name. She knew a Mima, long ago, but she had green hair! The woman before her had hair of the same length as that evil spirt, but it was a shade of brown, the same shade as her own hair, actually. Other than that, she looked spot on of the evil spirit. Odd.
"...the rest of your name?" And here's where it gets tricky! Do I tell her, or do I not...? Well, even if I do tell her, it's not like she can exorcise me, or seal me again.
"Hakurei." Before she could try and deny what I just said, my Yin Orbs began to appear around me. Reimu was speachless. She was the only living member of the shrine, but come to find out she actually wasn't? This was alot to take in.
"Also, I am that evil spirit that you are thinking of. Yukari brought me back to life." The shock at this point simply enormous, not only did she discover she had family, but it was an evil spirit? That evil spirit? The revelation was far too much to take in, and Reimu simply fainted on the spot.
I had expected something like this, so I simply went back to enjoying my taste buds by taking another sip of tea, while Reimu dreamed of donations. Once the tea was finished, I went off to prepare for the celebration. It was the least I could do, after the great treatment. I wasn't one to overlook kindness, especially now that I no longer had reason to hate the Hakurei clan. For the first time in... well... as far as I could remember, I felt at peace. Within the hour, the shrine was prepared for whoever might come.
