-What do you think she's doing with him?! a feminine, thin and gentle child's voice could be heard deep in the bushes, while the woman makes her experience on him, she seemed to have heard the kid, but she didn't care about her.
-Who cares?! let's play in the misty lake and freeze some frogs?! come on! come on! the other child's voice seemed to be more animated than gentle but thin as the other.
-Hmm... alright let's play! Then the two children begin to move away from the event that was taking place around them. When the woman finished her experiment, a purple colour began to appear and glow, which grew stronger and brighter on the face of the boy, but after a while, it began to fade and fade. Looks like my charm is done, now get your stuff back Baby Cau , although, I don't think that will help you at all in your survival, and I was already forgetting. The woman, before leaving, scored numbers on the boy's right arm, being the number: 2810912021. Then the woman opened a portal beside the boy's body leaving his backpack with the bottle of water he takes care of so much, empty but it is with him at least. then she created a pink shield around the boy's body. Have a good adventure when you wake up Baby Cau , or have a brutal death by a mere youkai. The woman seemed to do this only to see the boy's suffering increase, which could explain the silly smile on her face as she leaves the forest through the portals.
The boy's body had wounds on his stomach, arms and legs, but over time they started to regenerate quickly, the marks and cuts were gone, it seems it was because of the shield magic around his body or because of the experiment that the woman did, while he was deeply asleep in 30 minutes to 30 minutes, humanoid creatures arrived with bestial forms, appearances of bears, wolves and others. each of them were trying to break the shield to devour the boy who is deep asleep. But all failed, the shield seemed to be too strong for a mere youkai to be able to destroy it. after a while the boy started to open his eyes, eyes of hope, eyes of hoping that what he suffered was a silly nightmare.
-Hmmmmmm...?! when the boy opened his eyes completely and tried to move, the pink shield had broken and disappeared, he was startled because of it, and got up quickly, feeling his backpack beside him, he pick it along with his bottle of water. analyzing his surroundings, he takes a real impact on his heart, destroying his will to stand and making him kneel for the reason that he realized this was his reality and not a dream.
-This fucking place... that yakumo... they're real... no Cau they're not think about it you idiot... it must have been a NORMAL assassin! that killed our family or something and then brought us into a NORMAL forest! It's not POSSIBLE! that yakumo and gensokyo exist... and... and... AND WHERE AM I?! HELL! The boy had screamed in despair and hatred. This caused a noise in the nearby parts of the forest where possibly some being with bad intentions could have heard him.
-But I believe you stay still in this NORMAL forest! It won't do any good... yes I agre-... but... wait a minute... the trees have claw marks oh jesus... no! no! no! no! it's not possible! and what the fuck is this noise?! The boy's brain continued to refuse that it was real but different from his heart, the heart seemed had started to believe in these things since his family event, but as he talked to himself, he heard bipedal footsteps coming from behind him. fast and noisy footsteps. As if to say: I finally found something to eat.
-Okay later we ask questions it's time to run away from whoever these steps are and find a way out of this place! Cau starts to run, and says in desperation to save his life, he ran on the opposite side from where the footsteps could be heard, while he ran away, he also trying to find a way out of that dense and dark forest. The sounds of the pursuer's footsteps neither diminished nor increased. Holy shit I'm sedentary and I feel like soon I'm going to get tired of running and whatever this thing is will find me and possibly kill me but don't give up Cau we need to survive so keep going! Cau continued running, until he reached a part where the sun could reach, because there was a medium-sized ravine in the forest. At the moment he arrived in that ravine, his legs couldn't stand to run anymore, they are sore from so much continuous effort. he vomits on the ground and tries to catch his breath quickly to start running again. but the creature found him first.
-Finally, I'll have something to eat. The creature has a thick and masculine voice, the monster said in a tone of happiness at having found something to devour. Its appearance is that of a wolf, everything a wolf could have, this creature has, like tails, ears, sharp teeth, fur all over the body but the difference is that the creature could walk on two paws, but it started to walk with four-paws approaching the boy and demonstrating his most beastly and predatory side.
-Are you a werewolf?! I thought only Japanese creatures existed in this shit place! and you idiot! this is a dream! I have to remember this! Cau said in fury for having almost begun to believe in that place.
-Hahahahahahahahahaha! Well if this is just a dream! why are you running so desperately from me boy?! Wouldn't it be any easier for you to let me devour you and then I finally wake you up from your nightmare?! The creature said in a mocking tone to Cau , while the two walked in circles.
-It's simple, people can die in real life through dreams, and without taking the part that dreams simulate fantasy experiences very well, like being devoured by you. And by the way, it's something I definitely don't want to feel. Cau says determined and being sincere with the creature.
-Nice reasoning, to make an excuse boy, but now I'm going to kill you and then eat you. both stopped circling each other, Cau has no way out because the ravine is behind him. Holy shit wh-
-Don't tell me you're going to jump into the ravine? are you real-
-No, I will face you and defeat you monstrous creature. Cau says determined.
-Hahahahahahahaahaha! you're just a little human boy! I have more strength than you knew?! The creature said in a mocking tone.
-So then get it over with... come on... devour me right here. Cau apparently had a plan to escape the creature, The creature growled as if making a war cry and started running with its four paws towards the boy, as he got more close to him, he tried to jump on him. Cau dropped to the ground quickly and attacked the creature with both of his legs with all his strength, causing the monster to fall into the ravine. The creature fell into the ravine but used its claws to get caught in the rocks of the ravine as it tried to climb and cursed the boy back, Cau began to run away again. Away from the ravine and the creature, he is approaching a lake. A lake, I can fill my water bottle, but remember to drink if it depends on your life, because- yes, yes, I know that, the lake might be full of bacteria and worms, and jesus, no part of that forest has a serene air, every part I walk is a heavy air and by the way, how can I see in the dark so well?! good question but we'll find out later, first let's get the water and run away from the forest?! yeah you are right.
Cau , standing by the dark lake, fills his water bottle and when he turns to the right side, he was surprised, because there was a woman beside him taking a straw boat with a little doll with a white face and red kimono from the river. The woman looks like she is around 20 to 25 years old, has long green hair, green eyes, white skin, thin, tall, wears red bows, one being on top of her hair, the other tying and keeping her braids on the front, and finally a noose tied to his left arm going to the wrist. Her dress is red, she has white hoops and a green kanji on the left and bottom of the dress, black boots with red bows. Another Touhou character, we have a big problem here Cau , Yeah, I know and the worst thing is I don't know anything about her, not even her name, just her appearance but she seems to be well focused on this doll so it's easier for me to just walk away and find my way.
-Do you think I didn't notice you're watching me? The woman seemed to have a more or less thick, and friendly voice, she looked at the boy and started walking at him, taking the little doll in her hands with her.
-Sorry for-
-No no no, no problem... but would you like to buy this little doll?! The woman asks affectionately and smiling at him.
-No, I'm sorry but I don't have any money... actu-
-Oh, I understand... but I feel that you have a lot of misfortune inside you, I'll give you this one for present. the woman stretched her arm out to him offering the doll.
-Ahhh... thank you mis- Cau couldn't speak the word miss anymore, after the trauma that happened to him, those words would possibly never be in his vocabulary again, Cau stretches out his hand to pick up the doll, with the doll in his hands, he looks at the doll like he doesn't understand how to use it.
-Little boy... Just put this misfortune in the doll, then in a straw boat and then in a river, which will be brought to me and I will absorb the misfortune back, okay? The woman worriedly explains to him because she finally realized that he is not Japanese and doesn't even know about Japanese culture properly.
-Ahhh... I see... thank you very much. Cau keeps the doll in one of the pockets of his backpack. I just realized that this doll is a Japanese religious object, we are atheists, Cau , I know but it's better to accept, because we don't know what's in front of us, do you understand? yeah you're right.
-My name is Kagiyama Hina, and you? Kagiyama asks politely.
-It's Cau , just Cau , I don't think I need to say my full name to anyone else anymore. Cau says these words sincerely but sadly.
-Nice to meet you, but what are you doing here Caua? are you lost? or are you trying to enter on the youkai mountain?! The woman asks the boy worriedly. She say wrong my name but this don't matter now.
-Jesus! No! I'm not trying to get on the mountain, actually I'm lost, could you give me a direction how can i get out of here?! I hope she helps with that too.
-Hehehehe! I could scare you to death now because that's my job but your view says you've been through a lot so I'll help you. The woman pointed in a direction with her index finger.
-Y-ye-yeah... thanks kagiyama, so I'm leaving now, thanks again for the help and for the doll. Cau thanks her and begins to leave.
-Oh and remember, if I see you here again, I'll scare you to death, okay?! Hihihihihihi! Hina says in a mocking tone but her face showed sincerity in what she said.
- get it, you'll never see me in here again! Cau says shortly and heading to the place she pointed. after a period of time walking and having lucky not to find any youkai, he arrived in a part of the forest where you could see in the distance a little sunlight again, a little, but it already gave him hope that he would get out of there, coming close to the light, he could also see a lake in the distance, he headed for it, because he felt it was the way out and also felt a serene air coming from that place. When he got closer to the lake, he felt a light and fresh air, he also noticed that it was the misty lake. This is the place where Reimu Hakurei faces some fairies, Spin Spikes and Birds, i think?! and being in this stage the sub-boss are Daiyousei and the boss are Cirno in touhou 6 but there's nothing here... I'm having a lot of luck. Cau moves a little closer to the edge of the lake to sit and think, the lake has blue water, bright and beautiful, anyone would be dazzled to look, the lake also appeared to be very deep and more and less long on either side. The lake has huge, large, medium and small fish swimming calmly in it. The surroundings of this beautiful place could also be observed with good eyes, obviously, only in appearance, because clearly, it would be a danger for a human to enter them. On the other side of the lake was an average mansion and completely red in deep shades. Remilia's mansion... I really don't want to meet her and enter in that mansion. The sky at that moment is calm and bluish with completely white clouds, and the rest of the surroundings had the trees of the forest that the Cau had left. That in this part where the boy is sitting, a fresh air passed for him, not the dense air that he felt before. I don't know much about these places, in fact, we don't know nothing about the touhou lore, even though it's fictional we've never researched the touhou lore, who would have thought it would help you one day, if I knew I would have read everything... But at least I know how to get back to my world, it's not a certainty, because as you know I've never researched almost anything official coming from ZUN. But as far as I know Reimu can help me get back to my world or I can find Yakumo... which by the way I doubt she'll help me. Cau was thinking deeply until at a certain moment, a frog, which he hadn't noticed, made a noise beside him, he got scared and walked away, thinking that it would be another youkai or a monster, but actually it was just a normal green frog, Cau is lucky not to find any new youkai or anything that could threaten his life.
-You're a normal frog aren't you? Cau asked scared and innocently, even though he was 18 years old, he didn't seem to know how to tell the difference between a frog and a monster, but it wasn't because of stupid, but his fear at the moment he found himself. The frog replied Cau , making a frog noise.
-Hahahahahahahaha... I think I'm freaking out, understand? even though you're not a youkai or whatever they're called, i believe you understand me, don't make any noise if you understand me, okay? The frog was silent this time. Cau was impressed because he didn't believe a frog would have an ability to understand things. Oh yes, I "am" in gensokyo, so it "makes" sense.
-So... Mister Frog, could you tell me where I can find Rei... i mean Hakurei Reimu? The frog shook his head.
-Well, but you can't talk, right? how about I take you with my hand and you guide me there? could you come with me? the Frog again nods.
-Serious?! Thank you Mister Frog! Cau smiled like a child, at the frog, the frog made a noise, possibly wanting to say for nothing. It's weird for a "frog" to want to help me just like that, maybe he needs help too. Cau stretched his hand for him to go up, when the frog started to jump, he was frozen out of nowhere by someone. Cau was startled by pulling away from the frog that had previously been able to communicate with him, paralyzed inside an ice shell.
-HAHAHAHAAHAHA! look Daiyousei I froze another frog and scared off an idiot human as a bonus who don't know how much danger he's passing to stand in here Hahahahaahahhahaah! The voice was feminine and lively, coming from a little girl who looked to be around 6 to 9 years old, medium size, white skin, blue hair, blue eyes, wears a blue bow in her hair, blue dress with sleeves in white with shades of pink and red bow in the center of the neck, and the most sinister wings of ice. While Cau tried to recover from the situation that had given him a shock, a little girl, who appeared to be Daiyousei, came right behind the girl in blue. She looked like she was around 7 to 10 years old, medium size, white skin, green hair, green eyes, wears a blue dress with white accents, yellow bow in her hair, and white wings with gold accents.
-Cirno apologize to him you really scared him. Daiyousei other than Cirno had a thin, polite voice or appeared to be polite, but spoke cheerfully like Cirno.
-Noooooooo it was just a scare Daiyousei why apologize for this nonsense and look how I said I froze another frog. Cirno catches the frozen frog, with her hand. When Cirno caught the frog, that was the key to make Cau getting out of its shock.
-What are you going to do with him?! actually, I don't want to know, I want you to LET IT DOWN! Cau screamed and demanded that she let go of the frog. Why do I care about a fantasy? or maybe he's not a fantasy, oh no wait, now I understand why he can communicate he's a-
-Nobody gives me orders! Cirno replied curtly and then planned to throw the frog into the lake.
-NO! STOP! Cau got up quickly and ran to take the frog out of her hand, but it was too late, she had thrown the frog into the lake that began to sink. Cau was looking to the lake, shocked by the girl's cold heart, for having done that to a frog, that hadn't even done her any harm. I could risk saving him but I've never swam in a lake or river in my life. Cau looks back to Cirno, enraged.
-WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! WHAT DID THAT HUMAN DO TO YOU?! CAN TELL ME?! Cau is furious with what the girl did to the frog.
-He did not do anything! i did it because i am the strongest and also the most superior of all in gensokyo! The Girl in Blue says proudly puffing out her chest. Daiyousei was going to say something to Cirno but Cau interrupted her by shouting at Cirno.
-KILLING AN INNOCENT HUMAN MAKES YOU MORE POWERFUL THAN EVERYONE IN THIS FUCKING PLACE?! YOU BASTARD FAIRY! TAKE THAT! Cau was no longer feeling fear or sadness, but rage, he started by punching the Ice Fairy in the left cheek, The Fairy fell to the ground with the force placed in the fist she had received. When Cau punched her, felt him punching a brick, felt his hand begin to bleed and his bones aching, Cau tried to catch his breath and get out of that trance of pure hate. because he felt if he didn't, he would end up trying to kill the ice fairy and destroying his hand in the process, but while he was trying to do a noble act, he didn't notice that Cirno started to fly over and shoot ice lactites at your direction. Cau 's time reaction is above average so he managed to dodge most of the ice spikes. but a small amount hit his left leg and left him immobile and lying on the grass.
-Like I said I'm stronger and superior than everyone in gensokyo and Daiyousei what do we do with him? are we going to freeze him and throw him in the lake like we did with the frog? She says puffing out her chest again.
-What's your problem?! I tri-
-Silence! Losers have no right to say what winners must do or what not to do. The girl says proudly for having thought she won a fight but Cau had tried to stop the fight early on.
-LISTEN! I tried to st- AGAAAAHHHHHHHH! The Ice Fairy throws an ice ball that freezes almost the entire left leg of Cau , reaching up to his knee.
-I said silence to you! The Ice Fairy didn't want to know anything else but only to demonstrate his superiority to the boy. This bastard... I should have beaten her to death when I had the chance, OH SERIOUS CAU ?! SHUT UP JOHN!
-Cirno leave him alone and let's go somewhere else. Daiyousei tried to calm Cirno and told her to leave the boy alone.
-Noooooooo he has to know who's boss here. Cirno says with a scary smile and approached the boy who was down on the ground because of his injuries.
-Leave me alo- AGGGAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Cau suffered a kick so hard in his chest that he made him vomit again like his first time.
-I'm sorry please forgive me! Cau apologizes and is crying with pain and cold.
-Looks like he learned his lesson now and Daiyousei let's go now and let's freeze more frogs today hihihihihi! The girl says happily as if she has never done anything bad to a frog or a human boy.
-You go first I need to do something. Daiyousei says in a tone of disappointment to Cirno.
-Okay so I'll see you later. Cirno flies away quickly and happily. Daiyousei approaches Cau , with unknown intentions, where the boy thought she would do something bad like her friend.
-Stay away from me! you! you! I don't know what the fuck you are! but stay away from me! do you understand me?! Cau responds coldly without analyzing the green-haired fairy's intentions.
-I'm s-so-sor-sorry... I just want to return the favor because you kept calm with my friend so I want to help you and reward you for that so I can do something for you?! Daiyousei reveals her true intentions, she is grateful that Cau resisted hurting or even in extreme cases having tried to kill Cirno, her best friend.
-Damn... I... Look, I'm sorry too, for being rude to you, well, first of all, do you have any fire magic that can unfreeze my leg? Cau is breathing heavily and trying to catch his breath from the cold that the ice was causing him. Asking the fairy hopefully but with the facial expression she gave to Cau , he noticed that she didn't have that skill or ability. I can ask her to save that human, the Cirno threw into the water, but Cau ... he's possibly already dead.
-It's ok Daiyousei, But could you save the "frog?" Cau , despite not having faith, asked her to see if she could do something.
-I'm sorry but he already died and it wasn't because of drowning but because the ice must have already cracked. Daiyousei says disappointed and keeps looking at the grass to not face Cau 's disappointed face. That ice demon, Cirno is a monster.
-No no no Daiyousei it's okay, I already knew it could be that possibility but it doesn't hurt to ask, But then I believe that this one you can help me, could you take me to Reim- i mean Hakurei Reimu? Cau was sure that in this one she could help him.
-Oh yes yes I can... I can take you flying?! Daiyousei is happy to be able to return the favor but Cau was frightened by her question.
-L-lo-look I'm very, very afraid of heights, I thin-
-But it will be faster and what is your name? Daiyousei gives a brief explanation and asks the boy's name.
-Ah yeah? so, You're right and my name it's Cau , but can you handle my weight? Cau , even though he was afraid, accepted the proposal, but he saw a problem that was his body mass.
-Don't worry Caua I can do it... so get up and lean on my shoulder... you can get up right? Daiyousei had forgotten that he was still in a lot of pain and his leg was frozen. she can't speak my name right either or is it because it's the japanese accent? and shit... i can't get up... i can't make nothing alone.
-No... Can you help me with that too? Cau didn't want to say those words but he's not proud and the fairy was his only way out of that icy death, Daiyousei approached and helped him to get up and she started to fly without even warning him.
-AHHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU SHIT! NEXT TIME TELL ME YOU GONNA DO THIS! FUCK! Cau says angry and yelling at the green-haired fairy.
-I'm sorry I'm-
-Alright, I'm not nervous just surprised, remember what matters is the intention and you're doing this to help me so I appreciate it. Cau says and forcing a smile at her, making her calming her down. She remembers my br... Cau sighs and looks at the fairy who is smiling now. Wait...
-Daiyousei, now that I noticed something, most inhabitants of gensokyo should be people who only speak Japanese, how do you speak my language so well? Cau asked the fairy curiously.
-What are you talking about? Caua, you are speaking Japanese right now. Cau was confused by the fairy's answer.
-No, Daiyousei, I've never studied Japanese in my life, never. Cau explains to her and Daiyousei may have some explanation in mind.
-Well I think I know what it is... when you were unconscious Cirno and I saw a woman doing something with you... maybe she did some magic with you so that made you speak Japanese like me now. Daiyousei gives him a explanation smiling at him. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
-Good to know th- Agaaah could you go faster?! the ice is making my temperature wor-
-YES I'LL GO FASTER! Daiyousei says desperately and without hesitating, she quickly started to fly to Hakurei Reimu. they arrived quickly, taking only five minutes but when Daiyousei landed near the big red torii and on the gray bricks, dirty with green leaves, because of the various trees that were in the vicinity of the ground. She fell to the ground tired and breathless. Cau caught her but as his leg is frozen he started to fall with her. he caught her in the chest and placed her in front so she wouldn't suffer the impact of falling onto the bricks. as a consequence, the one who suffered the impact was the Cau .
-AGAHHHHHH! *Breathes* *Breathes* Daiyousei are you ok?! Cau asks worried for her, even being in a terrible condition he was more concerned with the fairy than with himself.
-Y-ye-ye-yes and y-
-No I'm not fine you're making my back feel more pa-AGGGHHHHAAAAAAA! Cau says feeling pain and explaining with few words.
-I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! She gets up quickly, apologizing and starting to carry Cau again.
-It's... all... well... we're here... you've fulfilled your reward. Cau says smiling at her as they walk to Hakurei's sanctuary. With them reaching the center of the gray brick path, you could see a Donation Box with dark brown tones and with edges, beyond was the medium sized sanctuary, the ceiling is blue, the woods that supported the sanctuary were of dark tones, a mini wooden staircase that could lead to the entrance doors of the sanctuary which by the way, are closed at the moment, on the side there are pillars that could be lit by fire and at the back of the sanctuary on the right side, there is a middle house, from the same colors and shades of the sanctuary in front, what is at the back, seemed to be a deposit.
-Daiyousei, is there anyone in there? Cau asks feeling that she has gone the wrong way. they walk to the door while talking.
-Yes! yes! yes! Reimu lives there. Daiyousei says anxious and happy to Cau .
-Okay... so now we're at the door, should we knock to get Hakurei's attention? Cau asks looking at Daiyousei.
-Yes! yes! i think you better do it you know because she is how i say! rude you know?! Daiyousei says excited to Cau .
-Speak calmly, Daiyousei, I understood what you said but even though I understand, try to speak calmly. Cau makes a constructive criticism, it seems, she understood and showed no disappointment this time. Cau knocked on the door once, waiting 2 minutes and looking at Daiyousei, she told him to knock again but when he was going to do it, the door opened and showed a woman. She looked to be around 30 or 35 years old, long black hair, medium size, white skin, red eyes, wears bows, one on top of her head and the other 2 in the front braids, red dress with white accents , white sleeves and rings with red details, yellow tie, white and long socks and red shoes. The woman's expression was disgusted to see the pair there at that hour of nightfall.
-Ah so-
-Yeah, I know why you're here, outsider world, but I won't help you now. The woman said interrupting Cau , in a cold tone.
-You are talk-
-Yes, I am, because look at you! fought with the ice fairy and came at this time of night?! i was in my deep nap did you know?! The woman said angrily to the boy.
-I'm like this because I'm not a murderer and seco-
-My God! Fairies are immortal, you know that?! do not know?! well they may die but then they come back later. Reimu says angrily at first but at the end in mocking tones to Cau .
-Daiyousei... Are you immortal? Cau asks perplexed and amazed.
-Act-
-Yeah, they're immortal, all of them that I can remember are, but I won't help you for those two reasons and simply because I don't want to. Reimu again says coldly. Isn't she the Reimu Hakurei? the fucking hero of this place?
-You're not the hero of this place?! it's not your duty to help us?! and if not help about it now! at least, helps with my damn leg! Cau says angrily forgetting who is in front of him, but luckily Reimu didn't mind and just replied back.
-No, I'm not a doctor, if you need first aid go to Eintei and after you receive first aid, come back here and maybe I'll help you go back home. The Woman says in a cold tone and would close the door but Cau put his hand in front of the door to stop her.
-If you haven't noticed, I DON'T HAVE MONEY AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FUCKING OF THIS PLACE IS! Cau says angrily and yelling at her. The woman pick the hoop of Cau 's blue uniform. He wasn't scared but even more disappointed about the "hero" of that place. She is not the Reimu Hakurei, she are the Hakurei Reimu.
-Keep your voice down! I don't have money either, but the owner of Eintei most of the time doesn't even care about the money so maybe you just need to be attended to, and about where it is, the green haired fairy knows where it is, and if you disturb me again I exterminate you like any youkai! When Hakurei finished speaking she closed the door, violently. Cau was looking at the door with hopeless eyes, because he thought he would be well attended to, he always thought that Reimu Hakurei was the hero of this place. Cau looks with hopeless eyes at Daiyousei, almost crying, but he didn't want to show that side to her, so he endured the crying.
-Stay calm I'll take you there okay? get ready I'll gonna start flying! Daiyousei says excitedly and starts to fly.
-The look wasn't because of that, but her! Isn't she the hero of this place? Cau asks Daiyousei, sadly.
-Well she is but I told you she's rude. Again saying excited but with a tone of disappointment could be heard in her voice.
-Okay... Daiyousei, go faster... I... Cau says fainting with pain, low temperature and along with the feeling of hurt about the woman who refused the help.
-Caua are you alright? Caua?!-
