-DRAGON AND FAMILIAR-

*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*

Gremory-sempai's words had somehow dampened our spirits but it never truly got us down. And that fact was quite evident as Sanae and Reisen dragged me at the mall so they could empty my pockets... Mooonnneeeyyyy!

Then again the fact that many guys I passed and some girls gave me thumbs up, makes me feel that I am doing good... Also the fact that I might as well gone into a date with two gorgeous girls is a nice thought. Still the way they emptied my pockets is quite disconcerting...

Girls will be girls I guess... And now that I think about it, wasn't Reisen all too-

"Hey Issei!" Oh there's Rei- wow. I must admit thanks to many artists I have seen Reisen in a lot of outfits, including the type she was wearing now. But pictures were too different than the real thing. She was currently wearing a beautiful one piece blouse... which I find that it was odd that she had changed so face considering what the Kuoh Female Uniform looks like.

Oh well I'm getting a treat no need to complain. Considering I'm a nut who forgoes normal society to Gensokyo where I swear the chances of me getting a girfriend there is miracle to no way in hell, this was a nice happening in my life.

Now if people stopped trying to kill me.

"Wow Reisen! That's a nice pick you got there!" Wow Sanae looks nice too with the one she picked... Ummm... This is nice and all but I realized that couldn't they shop for clothes some other time? Or is this the basic female 'I want to forget something bad happening to me' activity. No wait from some animes and manga I think it was eating? Er... I'm a guy so I don't really know.

Anyway I did nothing but accompany them until late afternoon where the sky was turning when they finally abated. That and my wallet was near empty. In any case we brought a large amount of food as from what I heard from Yukari, who to my surprised called me from my cell phone... that several people was at my tiny apartment making sure that it's defended properly and such. Well from what I heard from last night I guess Patchouli, Koakuma and someone from Byakuren and Miko's groups should be there. I hope I brought enough food.

Oh and I shouldn't even be surprised that Yukari called me by phone. I mean she's Yukari after all.

*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*

"We're back." I called out, which is weird. I've lived alone since the middle of my first year after I felt that my obsession with Touhou and my increasing perversity was obstructing my parents life and having people now in my small home felt weird. Even better, most of them were female! I mean as a guy whose dream is having a harem this was great...

If couldn't crush my skull or burn me to dust or blow me into atoms... well you know. Besides it's not like that they are my harem anyways. They're my friends, comrades and acquaintances who accepted me for who I am and for what we have gone through. And the last thing I need is to upset them in anyway because I said something stupid on the lines of them being my girls or anything.

They're them and they do not belong to anyone but themselves.

"We're here!" Was the voice of one Kirisame, Marisa who I was surprised to find there. Well this is both interesting and kinda scary. Interesting as I wonder how the girl reacted to many of the modern things here... though I'm kinda afraid that she might take anything that's important to me or something I cannot easily replace.

She can take any small things like a flash light or something but she better leave my laptop and other gadgets alone! Another and the one which I'm really scared of is... well she's a good and powerful magician but even if she could make traps I don't want her making one for my apartment. I mean I already know from the various stories and canon that she is a 'big explosion' person and after meeting her solified that. So any trap she might make might.

Uh! I can't help but shudder!

"Oi! What's with making that face after seeing me!" She said rather angrily. Ooops, she caught me shuddering! Wait... of course she'll catch me shuddering as she was just right in front of me!

"Now Issei. Thinking of anything that causes one to react like that to someone is bad." Sanae scolded me. Her body pointing forward and had a hand on her hips, one hand holding her bag and the things she bought and the other pointing at me. A classic pointing pose I guess... Oh and the pose made her jut her chest for me to see... "Issei!" She straightened up and bonked me in the head.

"Sorry. But you kinda did that all on your own." I defended myself and Marisa laughed. And so did Reisen... well chuckled not laugh.

"Well Kotiya-san, you should be careful on your expressions. Issei is a guy after all." The moon rabbit said as she reached for her hair and grabbed... a hair band with human ears taped on the sides? "Ugh. Even for the sake of blending in, I cannot stand it." As Reisen complained her actual ears, the ones people could actually mistake as fake stood up and actually stretched... Wow so she really could control how they move.

"In any case how's it going Marisa." I asked the black-and-white as I began to unload the food onto the small table in the living room. Reisen the ever helpful or probably ingrained to it helped out.

"Look for yourself." She said. And I did. I looked about my apartment and found things that weren't there before. Like the magic circles on the walls, the talismans on the door, the Shanghais and Hourais decorating some new shelves on my wall... Shanghais and Hourais?

"Wow. Even Alice helped." I said in surprise as I picked off one of the dolls from one of the new shelves.

"Yeah. You better be grateful!" She said as she swooped a packaged melon bread from the table. "Hmmm! This is nice, there's nothing like this in Gensokyo!"

"I'll buy more for you, just tell me." I said with a smile as I loaded all the packaged down. As I did I asked Marisa the burning question. "Ummm... Not to be rude Marisa, but did you make any of them... the traps I mean..." She actually glared at me at first until her lips puffed up and she sighed.

"Well I wanted to. But everyone stopped me because I might do something irreparable. So I just helped out with this and that..." She answered me as she scratched her head and looked away. "I admit as much." Ah... so cute when she blushes.

"OW!" She smacked me... wait she's pouting and blushing as she... "Ow!" Okay okay! But I can't help it!" Well it's not like this is the first time I saw her like this. In fact I saw her like this during the time where I accidentally groped her... which is admittedly bad though.

"Well as much as we're piling up gossip in watching you two flirt." Reisen who was smiling mischievously cut in and made us stop. "But we have more mouths to feed." As she pointed to the doorway to my kitchen who was a gaggle of people that I knew and was smiling with shit eating grins on their faces. The fact that Reimu was there meant that this would never be lived down.

Marisa's angry frown and pout meant that she's not gonna let this go... I might as well say goodbye to most of my things...

*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*

With that over, me and some of the girls went ahead and prepared dinner. Counting the people I find there are a lot of us, but enough for everyone. Counting off there was me, Sanae, Reisen, Marisa, Reimu, Alice, Nitori, Nazrin, Shou, Futo, Tojiko, Patchouli and Koakuma... So there was 1, 2, 3- 13 of us there.

"There sure is a lot of food." Reimu commented as she sat at my dining table. "Space is something you don't have." Of course I don't Reimu! I mean this is just a one man apartment! And- not that I think about it...

"Hey how you make all these without my neighbors or the landlady knowing?" I asked, considering their number I kinda thought that they were noisy and such.

"Silencing the area is easy and happens to be the first procedure." Patchouli told me as a matter of fact, and more likely is. "Making sure nobody hears you saying something important is the first defence..." Patchouli then droned on and on about the defences on my apartment and what they did. Like how most of the magic circles were wards to fend off pesky busybodies, or that the talismans fended off people with ill intent or that Alice dolls would automatically attack any intruders who does get in.

All in all it sounded like my small apartment had become a fortress. And oh we finished munching as she explained. In fact she ate as much as she talked. Wow a researcher to the end.

After that we talked about what Gremory-sempai told us and what our next move will be. And considering how many of them frowning and scowling meant that it was really bad.

"This is really bad Issei." Koakuma who was the most informed said out loud. "You have heard of the Great War right? Think of how bad it's going to be when those three powers collied in this home of yours Issei. Not to mention I don't think anyone side will go with a soft approach with the power that was revealed to them. In fact the devils going on and trying to recruit... well mostly you is a great danger alone but think of the Fallen Angels who still paints a target at you and the Angels that would be all too cautious and suspicious. In fact I believe that all three sides would have small armies assembled by now!"

"That sounds a bit extreme." Tojiko stated. Well it does sound absurd, and to the Taoist and probably most of us here it mostly was. "While it is great power, for them to resort to this..." She shook her head. Well I can her point, considering how impractical and insane it all was. But Koakuma countered on a fact that we were all surprised with.

"That's because comparing the power of those from Gensokyo to here at my and Issei's homeworld is a joke." Many of us gaped at this. "Cirno a fairy of ice can truly be 'The Strongest' here as she's more than powerful enough to takle even some of the most high level devils. And from what Kirisame-san said of her bility to freeze even energy or magic, she would be a nightmare to a lot of people." She shook her head. "As much as I want to say as exaggerating. But anyone powerful enough in Gensokyo, can take all the higher powers in this world with little effort."

Koakuma... did you just really say that the supernatural of our world does not hold a candle to the people of Gensokyo? Sure I know many of the Youkais at that hidden paradise is wrong, but to say they can take down those above here? How powerful are our supernaturals anyways?

*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
