Mikka smirked as she stepped onto the Mouyren Temple proper. Her smirk only widened upon seeing a purple umbrella laying in front of her. Her Kogasa puppet peeked around her and smiled. It looked at Mikka. Mikka nodded in approval before pushing the puppet away from her. The puppet smiled before disappearing. Mikka calmly looked in front of her as she stepped forward. The umbrella shifts as the actual Kogasa spins around and smiles.
"Surprise!" Kogasa yelled as she threw something towards Mikka. It takes a second for Mikka to realize that the object flying towards her was made of plastic. It takes a second longer for the panic to set in upon realizing it was a plastic spider. The panic that sets in causes Mikka to accidently summon her Okuu puppet. The puppet immediately reacts to her distress by incinerating the object out of existence. Meanwhile Kogasa was too busy celebrating her victory to notice the fireball.
"Don't do that." Mikka gasped between panicked breathes. The Okuu puppet adjusts itself preparing to attack Kogasa on command. It smirked upon seeing the Kogasa puppet appear behind the actual youkai. The puppet calmly pokes Kogasa with its own umbrella. Kogasa spins around only to be staring directly at the large eye of the puppet's umbrella. The puppet's umbrella licks Kogasa knocking her to the ground. By this point Mikka has recovered and is smileing at the work her two puppets had done. She calmly pulled out two candies and tosses them to her puppets. Both puppets cheer in delight as they unwrap their treat and quickly scarf it down. Mikka smiles at this before beginning to walk towards the temple. She pauses as Kyouko runs past her and stops to look at Kogasa.
"Come on, Kogasa. I just got done sweeping! You had to go and wet yourself." Kyouko exclaims in annoyance. Kogasa stands up and looks at the other girl in confusion.
"I did no such thing." Kogasa replies as she wrings out her dress. Kyouko sighs at this sight.
"You are covered in water and are forming a puddle around yourself. Your umbrella has a tongue. Put those two facts together and you come to the conclusion that you wet yourself." Kyouko points out. Kogasa glares at her.
"That's something completely different. Anyways I didn't do this to myself." Kogasa says. Mikka laughs at the conversation before having her skirt tugged at by her Okuu puppet.
"Koishi." The puppet says. Mikka focuses in front of her puppet and sighs. Sure enough Koishi slowly fades into view.
"Can I help you?" Mikka asks. Koishi looks up from the puppet and at Mikka herself.
"It's a puppet. It reminds me of home. I should go visit sometime. Do you know my sister?" Koishi asks as she looks back at the puppet. Mikka pauses for a second.
"In passing yes. I've seen her once or twice." Mikka says. Koishi smiles at this.
"That's nice. You should try talking to her. She could use a human friend." Koishi says before fading out of sight. Mikka shakes her head.
"Never will get used to that." Mikka says as she begins walking. She pauses upon seeing Shou standing in front of the temple steps. Mikka smiles as she approaches. Shou looks at her in interest.
"Byakuren is not here right now. I'd normally be willing to help but I'm slightly busy. I lost something important to me." Shou says with a sigh.
"About that. An acquaintance of mine found this. I have no idea where but it is yours." Mikka says as she reaches into her bag and pulls out the jeweled pagoda. She calmly hands it to Shou. Shou looks over it in surprise.
"Thank you, stranger. If you see Nazrin can you do me a favor and let her know she can come home now." Shou says. Mikka nods before walking towards the stairs leading away from the temple. She pulls out her notebook as she walks. She marks off one of the items on the list.
"So next is. The kappa hideout because I just realized I need my boat." Mikka says as she scribbles down the note about the boat next to the entre for the SDM. Her Okuu puppet hovers up and looks at the notes.
"Long day ahead." The puppet sighs.
With this I'd like to bring up two things.
One, this is not the first Gensokyo that Mikka has been to. She knows everyone due to the other one. Technically.
Second, I am accepting of feedback. I have a rough idea for the first ten chapters but after that little is planned.
