A/N: And now, back to the top of the cave that Earl and Pixie had made use of to rest~ And if you have no idea who those two are, time for a shameless plug! Luminous Beginnings and I have started a fanfic together in my version of Gensokyo~ Well, the first... chunk of words are in his, but then it switches~ Anywho, it's got a slight D&D flavoring to it, and is pretty interesting! It focuses heavily on the Fae, and their interaction with the world. If you like Fairies, Pixies, Daiyousei, and the Heralds and Avatars of seasons, check it out! Anywho, on with the show!
Night, Youkai Mountain, Aya's House, Hatate's PoV:
I looked about, confused as to why I was still feeling pain. We had just crashed into the wall of the cave, right? I should at the very least be unconcious, right? How the hell did we get into what seems to be a store room...?
I was still being carried by the strong arm of Aya, which was snaked under my waist. How she got so strong, I'll probably never know. Or, more importantly, the reason behind the strength. What reason could a reporter have to be strong? That had always bugged me, ever since I was but a chick.
With the pair of Wriggle and I under her arms, she made her way up a pair of creaky, squeeky steps, and into... her house?
That cave... went all the way up to her house? How the hell does nobody know about such a breech of security...? This is a major scoop!
She let myself down, letting me stand on our own two feet finally, and began to carry Wriggle like a cute little bride.
Just as I opened my mouth to ask the question, Aya pre-emptively said, "I have pleeeenty of blackmail on you, little Hatate, so don't you even try it~"
My mouth hung open. When? How? ...What? What does she have blackmail about?
Once more, I tried to use my mouth for more than a pretty little ornament. Once more, Aya spoke before I could ask, and said, "You and Momiji sure are a cute pair... However, I wonder how Tenma would react to you courting her daughter without her blessing~?" The expression on Aya's face was a teasing sneer, while my face went white.
My voice was silenced before I could even speak. How did she know? When did she see? What did she see? All of these questions raced through my mind at speeds most Tengu couldn't muster, mentally or otherwise. While I'm not as fast as Aya, I'm still of similar ancestory. She's just older, wiser, stronger, and faster. I like to believe I'm atleast smarter, though.
...However, this does make me question that.
With a chuckle, after seeing the look on my face, the crow answered what she figured to be my thoughts. "Do you really think you're the only one that knows the romantic spots of Gensokyo? I've done a bit of research on them, and ended up finding you and momimomi-"
I cut her off by shrieking in a rather angry, flustered way, my question of, "Hatatataa...! How the hell do you know my pet name for her? ! ...Just how much have you seen...?" I was boring a hole through her with my eyes, while she just chuckled at my reaction. She does enjoy teasing me.
"Ayaya~ Who says that I knew that...? It's a pretty obvious choice, with how much she enjoyed playing with those breasts of yours!" Aya's grinning face grew slightly letcherous, while mine and Wriggle's grew red. Mine, from having been told about how much Momiji gropes me, while Wriggle didn't have much of a reason to blush, save for her imagination. That, and the knowledge that Aya had watched them getting a bit intimate
"Haa? Hatataaa...? Hatata!" I couldn't find my words at all, and my brain was a mess. Numerous questions flew through my head at once, crashed into eachother, and eventually caused a pile up.
"Well, I don't think there's anything left to do, so I think it's about time that Wriggle and I get to bed, hmm? You going to be leaving soon, or do you intend to stay the night? I still only have a single bed, you know... It'd be a bit cramped if we all shared it!" She had a teasing grin on her face at this point, before she added, " Though, with those injuries... I suppose it may be best to stay here for a bit! A day or two, perhapse?"
Both Wriggle and I were speachless at the options layed before us. Myself, due to the fact that I agreed with Aya; I was in no shape to get home.
Wriggle simply couldn't stop imagining me being as perverted as Aya, thus making her come up with some very impure thoughts.
"I..." I began to speak, but had run out of steam almost immediately. I took a moment to collect myself, and said once more, " I have no choice; I'll stay the night."
Aya found my timidness quite adorable, while Wriggle was filled with horror. However, thankfully for her I'm not the sort of over-sexed Tengu that Aya is. I actually have that in common with her; my partner is the one who is the true pervert. She just hides it well.
Night, Misty Lake, Mytia's PoV:
"Ehh? Where is everyone?" I looked about, confused.
The usually lively shack of a home was barren of life, and abnormally quiet when I had arived.
With a sudden realization, I shouted, "Ahh, that's right!" I had forgotten that everyone was going to be away.
...Though, now that I'm here, what do I do...?
...I'm a bit lonely...
"Ufufu..." I heard a familiar laugh from behind me.
Why did I have to jinx my total lack of meeting Yuyuko today...?
With one final mental curse, I was tackled to the ground and eaten. Was this going to become a common occurance now...?
...Still better than being eaten for real.
