Once again, Reimu was confined to the attic, of course, it was to keep her safe from any youkai that might have horrid intentions. Hiding her wasn't going to do anything, as everyone's already known about her, including myself. Since her presence is known, the youkai started to gather for a meeting as to what to do with her. Naturally, if I were asked, which I won't be, I would say the choice should be up the Yakumos and that they should deal with her as they see fit, being the correct thing as such, and that I very much pity the child, as she's innocent in all of this. Shame really that she was cast ever so aside without a name, yet she doesn't truly belong anywhere.
The humans didn't want her for reasons that remain unsaid, so returning her would only gaurentee worse and, naturally, the youkai don't know what to do with her, thus explaining the meeting. People are such impossibly nosy parkers these days and everyone knows drunks can't keep secrets, then again oni are impossibly honest, be they drunken or otherwise. Even though, I don't want to go and intrude on private or unjust business, I attend to give myself a say, after all, we youkai can be civil and civil is what we'll be, thus, by that account, we all must have a say.
We congregrated in the clearing, with Yukari wearing an uchikatsugi, ironically, as that didn't make her anonymous, actually, it just hid her face from the painfully prying eyes that recognized her so she wouldn't feel their seething glances. Ren was also present to escort her to and from home, while Ducks remained at with the little'uns. Pity, really, I haven't put on any makeup or lipstick for this occasion and neither did I take the time to dress rather nice, well, that isn't very relevant, although, I do feel a tad undressed sitting amongst the others in their best.
Keine promptly proposed we find another human village to give her to. Keine, like Yukari, be noted is outcast in the sense that she is was human by day but, by night, on full moon, she was a youkai. She, like the child, didn't belong anywhere, yet she was being a tad sympathetic and wanted nothing but good for child, wishing her not to live alone amongst the youkai but rather with other humans, feeling it to be in her bestest of interests. Of course, she was quickly shot down, as gently as she could be when Suika pointed out that it was humans that left her here and there is a fairly good chance she would be abandoned again, if not killed.
"She's trash, all humans are, throw her away!" I heard from one, to which I heard Mamizou take the time out to remind to them that they were thrown away like trash, while Satori was rubbing the temples on her head, the thoughts she read overloading her senses. She was in great deal of pain, that one, and it was no surpise that she departed meeting early when she vomitted.
Nitori stated that she should live as a pet, after all, no youkai really kept a pet. However, she quickly recanted when she heard Chen in the distance screaming, "HELL NO~!" , which case she said, "Hmm, maybe not." Naturally, that brought up lots of questions as to who would like a human as a pet, besides Yuugi or Ren. Frankly, not many seeing, as for some, a human is a food source, thus, in that sense, she would be cattle or livestock. Seija, on the other hand, thought it'd be fit eat her but, naturally, we didn't listen for reasons Yuugi clearly put nicely, "You're an asshole, Seija, and your ideas suck." We agreed and neither did we forget a few times in which we were wronged by that particular one.
Aya suggested that we'd play her off like supernatural child who brings rewards to those unsuspecting, to which Hatate responded, "Oh, no, Aya, they'd give her back, as not all those gullible would want to take a chance...on a curse, that, and they'd pick up on a lie eventually." Hatate did present valid points which made the former reconsider, leaving us to wonder how many times this has occured.
The debate ran on for hours, while Yukari grew agitated, however, what interupted the debate was the fact the child we were debating about ran into the middle of it. Curiousity prompted her to leave the attic of the house from which she was kept and now she had seen what had made her so curious. Frankly, she seemed to be rather delighted to meet everyone. She saw nothing wrong with being amongst strange or seeing beings with tails, horns, claws, and all that. Of course, she was a little human child who didn't seem to yet old enough to articulate and children at this age generally tend to assume many things are normal, including non-human oddities, doubly so if they haven't learned otherwise, which she hasn't.
Naturally, after greeting everyone, she hurried to Ren and Yukari, almost instinctively. Up until this point, Yukari had been silent, however, her silence was broken when she opted to speak, saying, "To leave the child alone would be discervice, however, at the same, she doesn't belong to either, so she must live amongst youkai and learn our ways, at the same, she must learn the ways of her own kind, humans. It isn't sure to gaurentee her happiness, however, it could benefit her."
Some were skeptical of the notion and some were firmly against it, as that would mean adoption, however, they didn't go against her word, as Yukari, out of majority of us, save Keine, Mokou, and Kaguya, has interacted the most with both. They let her have her way, as she wished, despite objections, skepticism, and unsaid accusations.
