R/N: Ohh~ Such a tasty smelling one you are... Too bad I'm busy with this note... I'd taste you in some way if I was free, so don't feel as though I'm insulting you; you smell quite delicious, as I've already said!
Early afternoon, Forest of magic, Marisa's house, Marisa's PoV:
I opened the door with a happy grin on my face, expecting to see a green haired spirit.
Before me was a brown haired shrine maiden who was carrying a small girl that looked just like Cirno, and a ball of blackness that stunk of blood.
Where's Lady Mima? I couldn't find any sign of Master.
"Cirno!" Usagi ran up to the Shrine Maiden, grabbing the blue haired girl from her arms and giving her a tight hug. Wait, that was Cirno...? She looked alot like her, but seemed... Far less energetic and missing her wings.
"...What happened to her? She looks so..." I couldn't think of an apt word.
"Human? Yes... Yukari turned Usagi, Cirno, and myself, human..." Wait... that voice... Could it be...?
"UuuuUUuuuSaaaAAAaaaa...!" Usagi spun Cirno round and round, happily hugging the girl tightly by human standards.
"...L-lady Mima?" The Shrine Maiden grinned just like Master always did. That cocky looking grin of hers has never been more beautiful!
"It's been awhile, hmm? You sure have grown!" I got a poke to the chest, which caused me to back away with a blush.
"Ahh, sorry Cirno!" By the time Usagi stopped spinning with joy, Cirno's head was still trying to spin a bit, as she was fairly dizzy.
"...I missed you, Lady Mima, where were you all these years...?" Mima began to chuckle, finding the question funny.
"I've been under the shrine, biding my time... Blame Yukari for both my disappearance, and return, as she was the one that made me have the great idea to steal the border of dreams... I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids..." Mima smiled, motioning to Usagi and Cirno. Mima truely owed them, as she might have been lost to her madness still had they not come along.
"It's cold out here, can we come in now~?" Rumia had rather fresh skin, so she was quite sensitive to the chilly autumn air that gave hint to the winter soon to come.
"A-ahh, right, come on in, ze." Not sure why Rumia's here but I'm sure there's a reason, right?
Usagi ran back inside with an arm-full of Cirno.
Rumia walked into the wall next to the door before adjusting her aim and making her way in.
Mima chuckled to herself while closing the door on her way in. For a moment Mima looked about, making sure everything was fine as far as sun-light goes.
"Okay, it's safe to lower your bubble, Sunshine!" ...Who?
"Is that so~?" She calls Rumia 'Sunshine'? ...But... ugh, better to not question it.
"That is so~!" Mima did a spot on impression of her little friend of darkness.
Rumia giggled, finding Mima's immitation as cute as ever.
The dark orb disolved away, making her freshly grown pink skin visible to all. The more that one has to regenerate, the less perfect the regeneration. Seeing as she removed about 50% of her skin, the new skin was rather raw looking.
"Jeez, what happened to her, ze?" Her skin looked horrible, as though she had been rubbed all over for way too long.
"Sunshine got a bit too much sunshine, that's all!" Rumia sighed, wondering what she saw in Mima, while I simply rose a brow.
"I skinned myself~!" I couldn't help but make a face of disgust at what Rumia had claimed.
"With my knife~!" Mima held up the blade that was still covered in inky blood as there hadn't been a chance to clean it yet. Rumia's blood was quite hard to get off of things as it's nearly as sticky as tar.
"...Anyways... Master, I'm sure you have a reason for being here, ze. What would that reason be...?" Mima had a blank expression for a moment, before her face lit up.
"Ahh, right. Patches said that you, if anyone, would know how to turn Cirno and Usagi back into fairies." Patches? ...Patches... Patchouli? ...I'm going to have to make fun of the shut in a bit with that, hehe.
"Ahh, yeah... I've been researching such things awhile now; I havn't the magic capacity to become a Magician, so I've been looking into other alternatives, da ze." I began through one of my numerous bookshelfs full of borrowed books for my research on fairies.
Cirno had finally broken free of Usagi's nearly painful hug, and tackled her onto the ground, where they continuously wressled about; Usagi had a clear advantage, but Cirno knew many ways to get people to break their hold. First, she nipped at the nape of her neck, breaking free once more, followed by much ear licking. Usagi was obviously on the ropes, unable to do anything but moan in ...pain. Even as a human, Cirno wasn't completely helpless.
"Is that so~?" Rumia never knew that the witch was lacking in such a thing; her spells didn't show it at all.
"That is so, she actually had no magic at all before I trained her!" I sighed, slightly embarassed at what had just been admited by my master.
"My, that sure sounds familiar~!" Ehh? How so?
"Shush, I had my holy power to make up for it..." Wait, what? Master has holy power? !
I couldn't help but look at Mima oddly after hearing that, and was noticed after a moment.
"Ahh, I'm a one of the two Hakurei that formed the great barrier, Hakurei Mima!" Calling this revelation shocking was an understatement, I just about went into shock.
"You... and Reimu...? W-why didn't you ever bring this up, ze...?" We had been fighting with a descendant of Lady Mima all that time, way back when...?
"Great... great great... great? aunt." Mima wasn't too sure on the number of 'great's, so she just added a reasonable number. "Anyways, I couldn't remember my life from when I was alive back then; I'm only just starting to remember a good number of things. ...Most of which involve Sunshine, but still." Ugh... I'm just... going to drop it. I'd rather not get a headache right now.
I went back to looking through shelf after shelf of books, unable to find the book in question.
"Huh... 'Fairy Research Diary,' ehh?" I turned around, greeted by the sight of Rumia holding the book I searched high and low for.
"...How in old hell did you know what to look for...?" An idiot like her shouldn't have found it, while I couldn't find it at all!
"Guessing!" ...That sounds a bit fishy, as there had to be over 500 books in here.
I snatched the book from her hand, grumbling in annoyance. I began to flip through my notes, looking for the 'Ice' section.
On the other end of the room, Usagi looked about ready to pass out, as Cirno hadn't once let up on her... very specialized self defense techniques. At this point, she was trailing kisses along the shaft of her cute little Mimic's left wing; Usagi never stood a chance, but she didn't really mind losing to her Master over and over again.
