Hi this is the second chapter of Blood Stained Liars.

Disclaimer: I don't own Touhou.

KageNoYoko: Yeah, I re-read it and almost passed out at how terrible it was...


Everything about her was old.

Her wrinkled face, glasses cracked from age, her blue hair was getting paler by the day. The old woman wore a black dress, it was as if it was made from shadows.

This woman's name was Aoi, she had no last name.

After all the prime-minister of Gensokyo was forbidden to have a last name.

Aoi glared down at two fifteen year old girls with cold stone eyes. One wore an expensive sky blue silk dress, with white lace underneath - a thick, long piece of silk ribbon was tied around her waste and her shoes were a shiny, dark blue. Her white hair was shoulder length, with her fringe kept back neatly behind her ear and her eyes seemed to glow a red colour against her pale skin.

The girl - Naomi, looked to her left at her partner Hibiki.

Hibiki wore a mid thigh black skirt, her shoulder-less shirt was black as well. Two black ribbons tied up her strawberry-blonde hair, shiny black leather boots covered her shins - fingerless gloves covered her hand which tapped against her thigh in frustration.

After all this hall, the place where laws were made without consideration of others was really, boring.

Hibiki's green eyes meet Aoi stone cold ones, she was ignoring Naomi completely.

"Girls, as you may already know - the curse on this land is great" Aoi started.

"Yes it is ma'am" replied Hibiki, cringing at the elbow in the ribs got from an annoyed Naomi.

"Thank-you for the comment Hibiki, as I was saying the curse on this land is great and the people who cast this curse must be eliminated. Going with that there was a robbery by one or more of those wretched criminals, investigators have identified two of them. Fujiwara no Mokou and Kaguya Houraisan were the two who broke in and some valuable items"

"Pardon me ma'am, but what did they steal?" Asked Naomi.

"Spell-cards, if you really must know" replied Aoi, "I want you to hunt them down and bring them here."

"What a bout killing on sight? Remember that is one of the many rules for us," questioned Hibiki.

"They are immortal, therefore they cannot die. We might be able to interrogate them and get information out of them" Aoi pushed her glasses up her crooked nose.

"Is that all ma'am" Naomi asked politely.

"Yes, you are dismissed" Aoi, stood up and walked away. The tension in the room gone, both of the girls let out a huge sigh of relief.

"You are sooooooo lucky" Naomi glared at Hibiki, but there was no one to talk to as the latter was already out in the marble hallway, singing some strange song.

The maiden and the teleporter.

The witch and the doll-maker.

The devil and the dog.

The ghost and the gardener.

The two who never die.

The judge and the rower.

The hero's drink under the cherry blossoms.

And the culprits join them in glee.

Some will be eliminated, some will hide.

Being lifted from the darkness, given confidence.

They will rise up high again,

and push away the darkness that covers the light.

"And I don't know the rest of the poem" shouted Hibiki.

"What was that?" asked Naomi, Hibiki turned around and smiled.

"It's a secret" she whispered.

In a shrine at the top of a million stairs, a young girl with neatly cut, white hair stood under a blooming cherry blossom. A puffy white thing, which was actually her ghost circled around her, as if it wanted to tell her something.

Twin swords across her back and a green dress with white cotton making up her puffy sleeves and underlining her dress to keep her warm. She wore a headband with a black ribbon off center in her hair. Black buckle-ups with white socks protected her feet.

The ghosts in the garden enjoyed the cherry blossoms, they were flowering so nicely. The pink flowers lightening the mood a bit.

Youmu Konpaku smiled at the ghosts having a good time, it wouldn't last for long. As she made her way towards the shrine she wondered what had happened to Lily White, the fairy always seemed to put her in a good mood. Youmu remembered Lily flying around at one of the many drinking yelling 'Spring is here! It's spring!".

Youmu no longer had a master to attend to, just the garden and looking after the ghosts. Her master had gone missing, she couldn't possibly be dead. Maybe she should look for her.

No it was too dangerous.

Then again, she was sure she had spotted Remillia on her last trip down there, 50 years ago.

Youmu sighed, maybe she should go out and look.

Yuka woke up from her nap, she was sure someone had just entered Gensokyo, she had felt it. The power was immense, where though? Where was it coming from?

The shrine maiden rushed outside, and figured out that the power was coming from above and straight down. Pin pointing it's location Yuka began to fly towards it, drawing out her katakana's. Then she saw it, a massive hole opened up in the pollution - it was five kilometers in diameter and in the centre she saw a white haired girl flying straight down. A large circle of bright light covered the land, and Yuka looked up to see a bright glowing thing. It burned her eyes, but she kept looking at it - white light, with a beautiful blue sky.

It only lasted for a second though, as the pollution covered it up - Yuka wanted to see more of the sky she had learnt about when she was training to be shrine maiden.

"See this photo Yuka?" an old lady asked.

"Yes, yes! What is it called?" asked an excited five year old.

"It's called the sky and that orb is called the Sun...The pollution covers it up" replied the woman.

"Really, thats sad. You know what grandma?! I'm gonna fly above the pollution and see the sun!" the young girl yelled.

"Ahhhhh, that's a good goal..." the old woman trailed off.

Snapping out of her daydream Yuka shook her head - she would think about that later, her priority was the mysterious girl. Yuka increased her speed and aimed straight for that girl.

She looks around my age, but still that power coming from her. She is definitely not fifteen, and that white puffy thing looks edible...OH SHIT. Yuka's thoughts were cut off when she collided with the girl.

Both girls were cursing as they untangled themselves from each other, when the white haired girl pushed away, her face paled and she drew one of her swords - she had obviously recognised Yuka.

Ready to fight, Yuka signaled her to come.

"Yuka Kizami, yours?" asked Yuka as the girl came towards her at full force.

"Youmu Konpaku" the girl replied and they collided.


Hey! How was it?

Terrible right?

Yuka's probably gonna start wondering about who is lying after her fight with Konpaku...and who do you think Karin is?

RR plz! XD
