~Magical Girl Warrior Kosuzu and the Forces of Darkness~

~Author's Note~

Hello there, my lovelies! Welcome to the next chapter of my story, Magical Girl Warrior Kosuzu and the Forces of Darkness! Sorry it took so long, real life's been pretty hard to handle this week... ;^^

And just to be clear, this chapter comes with a bowstring warning for sexual violence. Read it carefully if that's a problem for you, or don't read it at all if that's a big problem for you... And also, I'm really sorry you had to go through whatever it was. Stay strong. We all believe in you!

ParadiseMaiden: I'm sorry, I really don't know what you mean about me "ruining your character" and "reducing you to a whining damsel in distress" ;^^ Maybe you could give me a breakdown of what I'm doing wrong?
RainbowMage: Wow, you really liked the last fight scene that much?! 0_0 YIPPEE! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! You don't know how much it means to me hearing you say that. I put extra fighting in this chaper just for you!
Xx_scarletcutiepie_xX: Thank you, and you're welcome! I know a lot of people weren't expecting him to make a cameo, but what the heck! It made your day!
Faith_and_Anime: For the last time, if Suwako losing against Combat Butler Hayate is against your religion, that's your problem. At the end of the day, I'm just not as devout as you, and you can't force me to be. I don't want to hear another review complaining about it, all right? -_-
AWESUMGIRL999: Um, what? Could you maybe try speaking Japanese next time, please? ;^^
Windgodgirl1337: Thanks! I've already written this chapter, but I'll try to make the next one longer. Good things come to those who wait!

Keep those reviews coming, you wonderful people! They really make my day. And now, here's the next chapter!

~Chapter 12: The Revenge of the Fortune-Teller~

Kosuzu strode bravely through the town square. All the villagers' eyes were upon her, full of awe and amazement, because they'd been without hope for so long until she rekindled it.

The Fortune-Teller sneered down at Kosuzu as she approached. "Is this it?" he laughed sneeringly, "Is this Gensokyo's greatest heroine?! I could crush her head in one hand!"

"I'm not afraid of you, Fortune-Teller!" declared Kosuzu, glaring defiantly up at the Fortune-Teller, "Or should I say... Akuma Mirashi?!"

The townsfolk all gasped at the reveal of the Fortune-Teller's name!

"How did you find my real name?!" cried the Fortune-Teller, who was looking a little rattled.

"Reimu told me. Oh, didn't I mention she was still alive? It took me hours of work, but I nursed her back to health!" said Kosuzu proudly.

"Impossible!" spluttered the Fortune-Teller, "You will die like the rest of them, and then I shall annihilate Reimu and your precious chronicler!"

Kosuzu gasped horrifiedly. "What have you done to my precious Akyuu?!" she cried.

"I raped her!" declared the Fortune-Teller maniacally!

The villagers gasped in horror!

"Grr... How dare you?!" screamed Kosuzu furiously, unsheathing her Devine Staff. (A/N: Her staff wasn't technically in a sheath, but it's the only good word I know for what she did with it ;^^) "In the name of peace and justice, I swear to make you pay!"

"Then come and get me!" bellowed the Fortune-Teller readying his Dark Spell-Cards!

Kosuzu leapt up into the air and did her transformation sequence. (See Chapter 2) She spread her sparkly azure wings and charged at the Fortune-Teller!

The Fortune-Teller used Darkness Sign: Web of Annihilation! Suddenly, hundreds of fine threads of pure Shadow were filling the air, forcing Kosuzu to slow down and weave through them. She'd fallen into the Fortune-Teller's trap!

"You've fallen into my trap, you fool!" laughed the Fortune-Teller evilly, "Take this! Black Heart Sign: Evisceration of the Stars!"

A thousand bolts of purplish-black Evilness with pink highlights leapt from the Fortune-Teller's fingers! Kosuzu gasped and dove back out of the way, but suddenly, the threads of pure Shadow wrapped around her wings and held her tight! The bolts of Evilness thwacked into her, scarring her skin wherever they hit and making her cry out in pain!

"Oh, golly..." whimpered Kosuzu, "I'm at the end of my strength! I... I can't do it..."

"No, Kosuzu, don't give up!"

What was that voice?! Kosuzu looked curiously around, although her vision was too blurry to see much.

"It's me, Akyuu!" said the voice. Kosuzu realised that the voice was coming from within her own heart! "You mustn't give up, my brave angel. Don't let him get away with making us all miserable!"

"Oh, Akyuu..." Kosuzu bravely clenched her fist, "I'll never give up, do you hear me?! Never! Spark Sign: Rainbow of Love!"

Kosuzu shot a bright rainbow from her Staff, knocking the the Fortune-Teller clean off his feet! She broke free of the threads of pure Shadow and sprinted after him!

"Wh-what is this?! No-one can beat me!" wailed the Fortune-Teller. "Well, guess what, girl?! Two can play at not giving up! Rage sign: Ocean of Hatred!"

Suddenly, the ground under Kosuzu's feet turned into boiling crimson blood! She yelped and flew away, barely in time to avoid getting her feet burned!

"That was a mean trick, Akuma," said Kosuzu angrily, flying towards him, "I'll teach you! Fantasy Sign: Sweet Dreams of a Bright Future!"

An Orb of light formed in Kosuzu's free hand. Shouting a fierce battle-cry, she threw it in the Fortune-teller's hideous face!

"Nooooooooo!" howled the Fortune-Teller. Before he could react, his head exploded!

"Oh, my days..." whimpered Kosuzu, who was now covered in bits of the fortune-teller's brain!

The villagers all cheered!

"Three cheers for Kosuzu!" declared Keine, dancing with hapiness.

"She's the greatest!" shouted Tadashi. (A/N: He owns the inn.)

"Oh, come on, it was the least I could do," said Kosuzu humbly, blushing like a ripe peach, "I couldn't let him hurt any of you! This village means so much to me! But... Has anyone seen Akyuu?"

"Why, yes! As a matter of fact I was the one who washed her once Akuma was finished with her!"

Kosuzu gasped and turned around. Coming up from behind her was none other than the evil Youkai from the Night Parade Scroll!

That's it for chapter 12! I really hope you liked it; I get a lot of reviews telling me to "try harder" or "stop writing like a seven-year-old" or "grow the hell up" or "just save us all some time and effort and kill yourself", and I really am trying, I swear! . I made sure Kosuzu didn't just win effortlessly this time, so it can't be that bad, right?

Akuma: I hated it!

Me: Well, noone asked you!

Akuma: Oh, you've done it now... (grabs Dark Spell-Cards)

Me: Eek! 0_0

I'm doomed... Anyways, that was an amazing cliffhanger, though! I hope you're all on the edge of your seats for what comes next! I can't promise anything, but I'm going to try and get it out in time for Tanabata. I love getting reviews, so please keep them coming!

In the mean time, this is Kosuzu Motoori signing out. Peace, love and waffles to each and every one of you! ^.^

~"Real" Author's Note~

The prompt for day twenty-five of the Gensokyo Festival was "fan works", so I did a fan-work-within-a-fanwork. By Kosuzu. This is not an insult to teenage girls; at the end of the day, Kosuzu had fun writing it, her friends had fun reading it, and she'll have learned a lot by the time she finishes the novel. Sure, she doesn't have the best writing style or much experience coming up with good plots, but she's a beginner. It's to be expected. So give her encouragement and constructive criticism, not contempt, and support young writers who are just finding their feet.
