Ay/N: Ohh, lazy, lazy! Author seems to be at a loss for what to say, so she stuck the honest reporter, Shameimaru Aya, with note duty! I can see it now! 'Poor Crow Tengu forced to do Author's bidding!' Scoop get!

Early afternoon, Bamboo Forest of the Lost, Mystia's PoV:

Ugh... My head is pounding... Ehh? Where am I...?

I look about, before seeing the blinding sun in the sky. Oww, that's too damn bright... Wait, why is it bright? It was just night wasn't i- Hina curse it, this had to be that Ghost's doing!

My body was covered in still regenerating bite wounds, my legs both eaten to the bone. Like this, I wouldn't even be able to stand! My poor dress was in tatters, too... I wish I had such fast regeneration, like Rumia...

"Why can't she just leave me alone...? All I want to do is sell Lampr- My stand! Ohh no, she probably ate all my eels!" I quickly flapped my wings, lifting off the ground in a hurry. While I couldn't stand, my wings weren't generally eaten by the ghost for whatever reason. What, are they not as tasty? ! ...Am I really going to get angry because she didn't leave me helpless?

After a few minutes, I made my way through the forest, and into my cave. Ehh? Only half of the eels are gone, this time! Lucky~!

"My apologies, Miss Lorelei, for continued misbehavior of my Mistress." I looked over to see the usual silver haired girl, Konpaku Youmo, sitting seiza before me, while her wispy phantom half floated lazily beside her.

The human half of the girl wore a green skirt with white frills, along with a white blouse, covered in a green vest. she had a black ribboned head band atop her head, and was without her blades, perhapse so as to look more apologetic.

"...If you can come here so easy to say such things, why can't you just keep her on your side...? Shes such a pain in the ass... And I mean that litterally!" A section of my rear was ...well, missing. Bitten off.

"You know that I try... Nobody is perfect, and I'm no acception... I must sleep, while she doesn't need to, and at these times she gets hungry. Further more, if under order, I must stay out of her way, and let her pass." Youmu always had next to no way of keeping her Mistress at bay. Her stomach, quite literally, was botomless. Youmu did her best, but it was never enough. Especially for the usual victim.

"I know, I know... I'm just a bit grumpy when I can't feel my legs, that's all." only small areas of my legs had retained their sensations, which was nothing but horrible pain. I would preffer fully numb legs, honestly.

"I'd say 'It'll never happen again,' but we both know that would be a lie. As a gift, I've been working on getting you more eels." Ohh? So she did eat them all. Youmu just had replaced half, that's all... Well, that's still a bit lucky...

"...Well, thanks, I guess... Though, I'll try to have my ...detection system, around more often." It always had to be when Rumia wasn't around...

"I'll be on my way, now. Good day, Miss Lorelei." She excused herself from my little hideout, and was on her way.

Guess I should turn in for a bit... regeneration of this scale is going to take a bit of rest... I also need to be at Cirno's house in a few hours, as the meal won't cook itself...

I removed my ruined dress, throwing it into a pile of ruined dresses, and settled into my nest. I don't know why, but nests just happen to be quite comfortable to me.

After a short time I began to dream of eating a large yellow ball, after which I ate several blue skinned versions of Yuyuko.

Afternoon, On the way to Cirno's house, Rumia's PoV:

I hated leaving Usagi behind to get... played with, like that, but there was nothing I could have done, right? ...So why, if there was nothing I could have done, do I feel like I've betrayed her by not even trying...?

I felt as though I had stabbed her in the back, and left her to die! Why! Wh-why...

I couldn't help but let a few tears out, but that wasn't able to be seen. As it was day, I had my bubble out, so I wouldn't go blind.

"Hey, you okay, Sunshine? You've been abnormally quiet..." Ahh! I musn't show any signs of guilt!

"I-It's nothing..." Dammit... why must my voice sound so sad...

"...Is that so~?" She sure is spot-on as ever at her immitation...

"...Fine, I feel like I've betrayed Usagi... Leaving her to that den of lions, like that..." Mima rose a brow at that. What?

"But isn't she just playing with that little vampire...?" Ahh, ignorance.

"That vampire is said to be utterly insane! She plays roughly, and doesn't stop untill you stop moving! Another rumor I heard was that she has the ability to destroy anything, anything at all, with no effort at all!" I couldn't help raise my voice, while sounding a bit frantic.

"...You left Usa with Flan?" I felt Cirno shift in my arms. Crap, it seems I had woken her up.

"Y-yeah..." I heard nothing for a moment, before Cirno snuggled into my arms.

"I'm sure she'll be fine... She's no pushover..." Before long, I once more heard quiet snores, as Cirno had fallen back asleep. Had she gone mad?

"See? Cirno agrees! You worry too much, Sunshine!" Ugh... I suppose I'll just... need to trust in Usagi, and hope for the best...

With a sigh, we continued our flight to Cirno's home in silence, so as not to bother the sleeping once fairy.

"Ugh... Being alive again is annoying... I'm exausted!" Mima flopped onto the makeshift matress of Cirno's bed, enjoying how soft it was.

"Move over, quit hogging the bed, Mima..." I set Cirno down on the other end of the bed, and cuddled against Mima.

"W-what are you- eep!" I began licking at her neck, happy to have her around again.

"You're as tasty as ever, Mima~!" My teasing was effective as can be. Over the years I had, one way or another, discovered many weak spots of hers.

"N-no... Quit... Mmn..." Mima was easily made rather complacent about such things, if one goes after one of her weak spots. ...If not, she generally just tosses you from the bed, perhaps out a window. But, if you go for a weakness of hers? Hoho, she simply melts, unable to resist at all! It's quite cute of her, really.

"Quit? Quit what~?" I began to nibble on her collar bone, gentle as can be.

"N-nhaa... Nooo... Not th-there..." She's so cute when she acts like she doesn't enjoy these sorts of things! And that lovely voice of hers is positively addictive! Every time I heard it, I wanted to hear more, and more!

"...Will you two shut up...? I'm trying to sleep, here!" Wait, from what point had she woken up from? Dammit... I thought I would finally be able to make her mine! Even after all these years, I manage to still get interupted...

"Fiiine..." I wasn't about to pretend I had been doing nothing... While Cirno wasn't the brightest, she could easily tell a lie from truth. It was rare at best that she could be tricked, and it's best to simply not try.

"Haa..." Mima had been left aching for further attention, but couldn't do anything about it, with Cirno around. The truth was that, just as Rumia suspected, she didn't hate these failed advances of hers. Infact, you could say that she had always loved Rumia to an extent, while not even realizing it herself. Love at first sight, even.

I giggled lightly, giving Mima a peck on the cheek, before facing away from her. I'd make her mine, yet! Just you wait, Mima! You'll be addicted to me, and then I'll take you as my mate, and... ehehe... you into the early hours of the morning!

While happily thinking about my plans, with a blush on my face, I slowly drifted off to dreams of a happy future with my cute mate.
