The Forbidden Love of Yukari Yakumo

Chapter 8: Ethereal Healing of the Soul

Mayohiga, after the last chapter

Dawitsu was lying in Yukari's arms, his body weighing down on her thin, delicate arms, which splayed into stitches as she tried to continue holding her forbidden love. Her wails of mourning could be heard throughout the village, but the cruel animal youkai of the village were apathetic to the persecuted woman. The beautiful man's red fluid of existence poured from his large wound, covering Yukari's ivory white hands. Her heart rose and rose, her motivation draining from her like a tree overtaken by ivy, and she eventually knelt to the floor and allowed her eyes' municipal pipes to burst, releasing the tragic juices of her sorrow and misery.

"Dawitsu! Please! Don't die!" Yukari stopped, and realised that according to Yuyuko's rules, Yutaka can't have killed him, "Please... please wake up!"

It was at this time that a particularly kind-hearted individual with curly, beautiful hair, a pair of glasses that accentuated her perfect nose like the sunset accentuates the perfect sea, and a long, smooth tail walked by, and said heroically, "Oh no! What's happened?"

Yukari sniffed to herself, her voice a delicate, decayed leaf in the wind, "A Shinigami... a shinigami attacked my boyfriend... and I'm afraid he's never going to wake up..."

"Well, I happen to be an expert at doctorism, so perhaps I can help?" I said magnanimously, "My name's Hachuurui Soto..."

[Typist's Note: I don't care if that was a mistake, I'm putting it in. There should be a psychological term for that, perhaps named after a psychologist or something...]

Yukari got up and lay Dawitsu on the floor, "What do I have to do to help him?"

"You will have to gather for me some ingredients. They are all medicinal herbs and plants. There are five in total, and they are all extremely rare. They are Aloe Vera, Blessed Thistle, Chaparrel, Digitalis from the Foxglove Plant, and Elderberry." the exceptionally good-bodied doctor said, her tight nurses outfit showing off her curves.

"And where can I find these plants?" Yukari asked.

"In the five corners of Gensokyo... the Youkai Mountain, the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, the Island of the Lake, Former Hell, and finally... the Netherworld itself." Hachuurui accurately and calmly told the aggrieved Border Youkai.

The flowers had been imprinted in the woman's mind, and she quivered as she nodded in understanding, and said, "So I have to get them?"

"Can't you enter gaps?" the cosmically beautiful Lizard Youkai said, "It shouldn't take too long..."

Yukari opened a purple, ephemeral circle of eyes, "You're right... take care of him, will you?"

"Of course, there is no way that I'd abandon such an ethereal, raven-haired dreamboat such as him..." the doctor accurately stated, her medical opinion proving his eternal beauty.

Yukari stepped into the gap, looking at her mutilated true love, who was lying in a crimson puddle of death, for one last time. Blowing the essence of aether towards his soft face, she entered the gap, closing it before she changed her attached mind.

The Youkai Mountain, shortly after

Exiting from her gap, Yukari appeared in front of a gushing stream of crystalline shards of interlacustrine liquid. It fell from the highest point on a cliff that seemed to stretch into the sky, and she stopped to reflect upon the pure, natural beauty of it until remembering that her true love was in danger.

A tengu walked past, her short, ebony reporter's skirt reaching her upper thigh as her tight white shirt gripped her firm bosom, and Yukari asked her, "Excuse me, do you know where I would find 'Aloe Vera' plants?"

The sensual reporter put her hips to one side, and mused sensually, "It's going to be near the top of the waterfall. Say, you're the wife of that incredible hunk, Dawitsu, aren't you?"

Yukari didn't know whether to tell the truth or not, as she had thought that their marriage had been a well-kept, forbidden secret that was as secretly kept as a small, pink, flower-covered diary. In the end, her unwavering love for the raven-haired, muscular, ethereal man forced her to tell the tengu her secret, "Yes, we're married..."

Aya placed her hands on Yukari's shoulders, slowly stroking them with her long, elegant hand snakes, and suddenly kissed the innocent Youkai on the lips, filling her with fear and the bitter mouth water of the tengu. After a while, she took her lips away from Yukari's, and said, "Give him that for me..."

She then walked away from the Border Youkai, swaggering her hips in a seductive, sensual manner, laughing as she did, causing Yukari's face to warm with the poisonous essence of blood-red warmth, her ivory face enlightening. She looked up at the top of the long path of clarified transparent life fluid, and decided to begin her flight upwards.

Knowing that the only place a plant would grow on the waterfall would be the smooth, water-kissed mineral rich rock behind the mystical torrent of liquid water, Yukari took off her perfect, elegant wedding outfit, revealing her purple, tight-fitting bra and her lacy red underwear. Once she walked underneath the beautiful liquid mist, she felt her supple, curvaceous body become drenched with moisture, and her perfect ivory skin glistened in the sun.

Slowly ascending, she looked for the hard, thick leaves of the miraculous healing medicinal flower of egregiousness. She found small, white flowers, and purple flowers with vibrant red leaves, but she could not find the all-important Aloe Vera. It was then that a glint appeared in Yukari's eye... shining at the top of the waterfall, lay the shiny wet, thick stemmed plant she was looking for. Her heart filling with anticipation of being able to heal her ephemeral, beautiful husband, she dashed upwards as quickly as possible, but, before she could, fate unfairly conspired against the Border Youkai as a crow swooped down and picked the plant from right in front of her eyes.

Flying after the crow through the morning sky, Yukari chased the ebony-black bird until it reached an agent of the paparazzi of evil, Aya Shameimaru.

Yukari gasped as she finally reached the crow's master, and Aya giggled provocatively, "Ah... looking for this?"

"Aya... I need that for..." Yukari began to say, but evil brutally severed her sentence like a Machete cutting down a pure yellow sunflower, for Aya had noticed the beautiful, well-proportioned Border Youkai was wearing nothing but her tight, purple bra and her red, lacy underwear.

"What do we have here? Well, I must say... I want you. I want your body..." Aya said, her eyes filled with the deep scarlet fluid of lust.

Yukari trembled in fear, her body going stiff, "Aya... don't... don't..."

"If you want this plant, then you will have to... have sex with me!" Aya proclaimed, laughing to the heavens in a diabolical, twisted fashion.

Yukari's heart skipped a beat, her eyes looking over the provocatively dressed reporter as she undid her shirt's buttons...

...but then, suddenly, a woman dived into the lustful reporter, knocking her to the hard, rock ground, and punched her once to make sure she was unconscious. Yukari looked to see who it was, and it was... Hachuurui Soto!

She got up from the floor, and said selflessly, "Don't worry, Yukari! I'll save you from anything that attacks you... forever. I put Dawitsu in my bed, and his condition is stable. Now, I'll help you find the other four plants. Did you lose your clothes in the waterfall?"

"No, but I took them off so they don't get wet..." Yukari answered.

"Well, I'll let you put them back on, and then we can go and save Dawitsu!" the brilliant Lizard proclaimed, her amazing speech rousing Yukari's heart into action.

The Border Youkai entered a gap, and returned wearing her full, cleavage-enhancing outfit as the Lizard stood strongly, like a tree firmly rooted to the ground in a hurricane.

Yukari opened up a second hole in the fabric of ephemerality, and then said, "So, the next area is the Bamboo Forest, am I right?"

"Yes... let's go!" Hachuurui said, walking into the gap without fear, and was shortly followed by the feminine Border Youkai.

Author's Note: How do you like my original character Hachuurui Soto? Isn't she the best? She's so smart, intelligent, talented, and has just played a vital part in helping to save Dawitsu... because if they don't get the plants before Yutaka gets her sixteen souls, then Dawitsu will die! They need to save him, and only Hachuurui can help Yukari!

What do you mean is it a self-insert? Of course it isn't! What... why is that a good thing? Hey, shut up, I look great in a nurse's outfit! Stupid Tengu! Where's that strange-talking stud, Michel, anyway?

Typist's Notes: Ugh... how much idiocy can a normal person take? I swear my intelligence is being drained from this. I have actually got worse at dai-shogi because of this... Nitori usually never beats me within twenty moves, there's something wrong...

Reviews for Chapter Eight:

Aya Shameimaru: W-what is this? I... why would I... why would I try to seduce Yukari? What's up with the over-descriptive depiction of my outfit... and I'll have you know, my skirt is knee-high! KNEE-HIGH! This is slander, this is terrible, awful slander, and being accused of being a pervert is the last straw! No more, I say! No more! I find this sort of behaviour disgusting!

Mateyuu Dawitsu: Uh... I know I said I wasn't gonna read it any more... but, you know how when you're driving past a traffic accident, you can't help but slow down and look over the carnage? What? Oh yeah, I guess you guys wouldn't know... well, I'm certainly not reading it for that... excellent... imagery... of Aya... NO! No, I'm not! I'm an upstanding man, what you did to Aya was... uh... unforgivable!

Yukari Yakumo: While I am somewhat disgusted by your insistence on stripping me to near nakedness in practically every chapter of this book, at least Aya got her just desserts in this chapter... heh, finally, the libellous Tengu gets a bit of libel published about her! I can't help but like you, even if only a little bit, for that piece of literary gold. Even if in reality I would have made short work of her before she even tried to take off her shirt if that situation ever really did arise.

Hatate Himekaidou: Aya told me not to read this chapter but I did anyway! Ha, and now I see why! Like, what a twist! I'm never gonna let Aya live this down...

Yuyuko Saigyouji: Hmm. I was told that there was going to be Fruits de Mer and Sous-chefs to prepare it... oh, but there's nothing, I'm afraid...
