Well... i just wroted this in about 2 hours, why i didn't do it before? i was playing castlevania lament of innocense and curse of darkness, and kinda forgot about this.
But no more and after this one the next reaction and incidents will happen.
Wich means a lot of ghosts that don't look like ghosts but who cares? they're cute.
Nothing else to say, let's just get on with this!.
Reimu hakurei knows she is a lazy person and that's not wrong, thinking that doing most things is a pain that made her who she is today, even knowing about her family was too much trouble.
After all she just needs to be good at her job and she will have an easier life, less stuff to deal with.
The job of the hakurei shrine maiden is kinda hard the need to be impartial in the problems of youkai that are a bunch over-complicating monsters and humans who are for the most part a bunch of wussies affraid of even of fairies... when said fairies decide to fight back.
So being able to be lazy in her home for the most time should be enough paying for her work (because no one wants to donate to her shrine...), yes it is but the youkai she usually beats the living crap of don't think the same and decide to make parties in a shrine, wich should be the bane of their existence.
But they are good company and bring food, not a lot to complain about.
...
That made me think... now here in the kotatsu with some tea being lazy didn't feel right today, all because of a little memory, one of her mom.
I was very young only got one glance at the long white hair and that got me curious, it looked like she was leaving the shrine at that moment, then why didn't she comeback?.
Did a youkai got her?, did she hate the hakurei job and left her to deal with it? no use thinking about it when there is someone who can tell her, well there is more than one person that might know about but only one of those is actually going to tell me the truth and won't try to activily annoy me.
So i got out of my kotatsu, put the black shoes, went outside and flew to the back of the shrine, were her technically father figure and someone who knew all the past hakurei shrine maidens... but not the god of said shrine because that bastard just won't show up... but that doesn't really matter.
I landed near the edge of the pond "genji" there isn't really anything else to say the over-siced turtle came from bellow the pond and was staring at me with his pattented "old wise guy" smile.
"aaahhhhh... reimu-san, are still watching the death matches?" he said with a carefree tone of voice, but i noticed the small dissapointment, considering that he told me to not watch more "death battle" but that's not why i'm here.
"yes i did, but i'm not here to get lectured... again" i really didn't, had enough of that when i was younger.
"that i can see, you seem troubled" for such an old turtle he sure is sharp, as allways.
I stared at him for a moment, wodering if i would even like the answer but i'm already here so might as well do it "what hapened to my mother".
Genji didn't flinch or gave some kind of bad reaction but he did rise and eyebrow... and started stroking his beard with his turtle leg, how he has that kind of dexterity being a turtle to do that is beyond me.
"well... i knew this question will come, but i never though that it would take you this long to do that" he said to himself.
"...so?" i asked him, was he trying to avoid the question?.
He closed his eyes for a moment the opened his left one staring at me "well... she told me to not tell you were she left, but to tell you she is closer than you think...".
Ah so she is dead... how am i-
"and no she is not dead, don't go making that kind of speculations without hearing everything i have to say" genji interrupted my train of though.
"then were the hell is she?, unless she is the god of the shrine wich i doubt she is" my question packed a little more heat that i wanted it to.
"she is going to drag a friend from the void" genji answered me, not giving me anythig of what i asked form.
Pretty sure he noticed my look so he started talking again "she told me that when i asked where she was going, i got a couple guesses of what that means but i know she is alive".
So... from all of this i didn't get the answere i wanted... at least it's not the one i feared "what can you tell me about her?".
He smiled at me opening both eyes "well she once...".
... So reimu's mom got white hair and that's all you are getting for now... i hope i wasn't to obvious.
Oh well i'll find out that later, so the next chapter will probably longer since i'll have to explain some of the stuff i just threw at you... or some of it.
Whatever just need to write the next chapter and pray to god i don't fuck it up.
See you all in the next chapter.
