The Forbidden Love of Yukari Yakumo

Chapter 9: The Fish out of Water

The Bamboo Forest of the Lost, midnight

The tall bamboo shots towered over the Border Youkai and her incredibly good looking, intelligent associate. Her glasses glistened in the heavenly light of the full moon, and Yukari couldn't help but notice her eyes shifting methodically through the ground, searching for the Blessed Thistle beneath the thick, dense layer of wide, wooden sticks of bamboo that stood tall into the dark, ebony-black night sky.

Yukari asked the attractive doctor, "So, can you see any Blessed Thistle?"

Hachuurui waved her soft, curly locks as she turned to Yukari, and said, "It seems we will have to go deeper into the woods. We need to find a place where the moonlight reaches, but there is plenty of moisture in the ground... now, where in a Bamboo Forest would moonlight reach?"

Yukari used her expert expertise of the surroundings to intelligently deduce the location of the green, spiny herbaceous cure of wounds. She came to the wise deduction, and told her green-haired, ethereal associate of her conclusion.

"I think it would be somewhere along the river that flows through the forest. Perhaps there's a spot there which is exposed to the ever-beautiful moonlight?" Yukari asked.

"It's worth a shot." Tokage mused learnedly, and looked around for the river before Yukari pointed to a glistening, beautiful body of glowing white water.

Yukari and Hachuurui walked towards the ever-bright, eternally blessed water that no doubt inundated the Blessed Thistle they sought so desperately. Walking down the river, the two women's moon-lit faces complimented each other perfectly, like they were truly compatible in a platonic and pure way, with Yukari's ivory button nose contrasting Hachuurui's Asian, face-fitting nose, and Yukari's blonde, flowing hair contrasting Hachuurui's short, dark green, curly hair.

The two looked downwards for the thistle, but, alas, it seemed that there was no Blessed Thistle to be found in the forest. However, it was at this point that the nurse that was a doctor and a nurse at the same time said, "I think I know where we can go!"

"Where can can we go?" Yukari asked with a sigh as large as her longing to be back with her beautiful, eternally limpidly ethereal husband of ephemerality once again.

"To Eirin Yagokoro's house, Eientei!" Hachuurui said intelligently, "She'll have Blessed Thistle, she uses it on her patients!"

Yukari tried to be sceptical of the idea, but due to the sense and thought that the Doctor's point made, she accepted it. She opened a large, amaranthine hole of apertures and purple. Walking into it, the Border Youkai waited for her medical friend of great wit and coruscation.

The two appeared by Eientei, their hair blowing in the calm, ephemeral wind as the large, full moon's light shot off from their hair in waves of empyrean rays. The Border Youkai knocked on the door, and the person who answered was someone of great evil and libidinousness... it was the bunny girl of insanity, Reisen Udongein Inaba. Her clothing was tight, and her tight, lacy black bra could be seen through her partially undone shirt. She asked them, "What are you doing here? You can't stay here as long as I say so!"

"We are here to see Eirin." the far more tasteful nurse said to the lascivious rabbit, "So just back off, or I'll use my doctor powers on you!"

The rabbit cowered in fear, and walked away from the two, and called in her ugly, salacious voice of daggers, "Eirin! Two Youkai are here to see you!"

After waiting a short while, Eirin appeared at the door along with the lunar bunny girl, and said, "I am very busy... what is it you have to ask?" in a surreptitious voice.

Yukari Yakumo brushed her fine, flowing, ash blonde hair of beauty before saying, "We're here to get some Blessed Thistle..."

"Blessed Thistle? Oh my, it must be serious..." Eirin mused concernedly, "I'll get it right away..."

Reisen's malicious face glowered with maliciousness, and she screamed, "But you know what Yukari did to me! She humiliated me and her man didn't even fall for my tricks!"

Eirin's eyes glowed as grey as the moon itself, and gave Reisen a potion, "Oh, do you want revenge, Reisen? Here, take this potion, and you will become more powerful than these two combined!"

Yukari and Hachuurui quivered ever so slightly as Reisen gulped down the potion, and she paused, before her supple, shapely legs turned into tiny, green legs. Her firm, supported bosom became a flat, green, slimy chest, and her beautiful, purple hair disappeared. Her face became a horrible, frog-like face, and when the transformation was complete, Reisen was a tiny little frog, standing in a pile of what was her clothes and a set of bunny ears and fluffy bunny tail.

"That's what you get for being evil and defying these two great people of great deeds! This nurse has saved so many lives that she is called by many as a saint, and Yukari Yakumo is the purest maiden in all of the land, so I'm protecting them!" Eirin explained her justified action to the deserving victim, and then showed the two beautiful, relieved women of beauty to her medicine room.

It was filled with liquids of all colours, all shimmering in their glasses like liquid rainbows breaking into the transparent hubris of the morning, post-rain sky of transparency. Eirin opened a large drawing filled with plant pots, and finally picked a small, green, spiny flower with a touch of yellow illuminating the fair top of the otherwise ugly flower, and gave it to the delicate Yukari, who flinched and squealed as the spines of health pricked her pure, ivory skin, causing an orb of soft blood to come out, staying stuck on her hand like dew on the morning tree.

She continued to hold onto it, though, as her love motivated her to go through the most abhorrent of pains, and this tragic pain was no exception. She knew that he must be going through the exact same pain. It was at this point that she opened a fresh gap, and walked into it, with her nurse doing the exact same.

The Netherworld, early morning

Yuyuko held her staff of judgement as she stood tall, her elegant figure filling the Netherworld with dignity and prestige, while her Shinigami stood before her in an unfeminine, callous manner, seething with angry rage and frenziedly asking for her next target.

"So, when can I kill someone new?" Yutaka asked murderously.

"I have not decreed anyone's death as of recently. Besides, you are out of commission because of your bad behaviour, and you almost killed one of the fated lovers of true love when you still have fourteen souls to acquire before you are allowed to!" Yuyuko said commandingly.

"But... but, I told you, my scythe slipped!" Yutaka lyingly came up with an excuse as twisted as her horrific, evil soul of deceit and lies.

"I do not believe you!" Yuyuko commanded, "But... I shall tell of you my next target. Your next target is a Lizard Youkai..."

Yuyuko opened up a bubble of transitory ephemerality, and showed the Shinigami her beautiful, unfair target of doom. Her hair was green, and her eyes reflected her grassy head-plain. Her glasses showed off her perfect eyes flawlessly, and her nurse's outfit was tight and showed off her ample, full chest and perfect hour-glass figure. And next to her was... Yukari Yakumo, who was staying beside her. Although it was forbidden for her to kill the blonde-haired, beautiful Border Youkai, Yutaka took a barbarically sadistic joy in the idea of killing and harvesting a soul in front of the delicate rose petal, permanently draining the colour from its red, joyful fragility.

"So, all I have to do is kill her and I'll get the third soul?" Yutaka asked, her voice lined with perversity of evil.

"Yes." Yuyuko boomed, her voice carrying throughout the petal-lined heavenly Netherworld of cherry blossoms and flowers.

"Excellent..." Yutaka mused excitedly, and the entire world turned deep, pure black as black as her ebony-dark, Gothic Lolita dress. She disappeared, leaving behind a cold, evil cloud that quickly dissipated by the cold, shimmering light of the radiant Queen of Ghosts.

"She seems to be enjoying this job, now..." Yuyuko mused concernedly, her pure heart unable to cope with Yutaka's evilness...

Author's Notes: Now I've made some Shinigami Yutaka models! They're made from wood and papiér maché, and cost seven thousand yen a piece! They take a long time to make! I also have a fan club, so if you haven't joined already, join! Also, I'll have you know that all five of the plants I've used in this story are really Medicinal Herbs! Aloe Vera, Blessed Thistle, Chaparrel, Foxgloves, and Elderberries are all medicinal! It just shows how smart I am for looking all this up! Also, I'm so glad! Do you know why? Michel is back! Oh Michel, I've missed your manly manliness! Give me a hug you lfodjnsddh csdkjdncm jdbfsjds

Typist's Notes: I apologise for the typing error, the Lizard Woman hugged me in a very forceful way, and I pressed some keys accidentally. Momiji is away again, this time she is trying to get good at a game of some sort... she called it... er... Shogi? Yes, she said something about the board games, and so she apparently cannot be here. I think it is a poor excuse, but it seems the worst chapters were the ones before this... I have sympathy for the Wolf Woman...

Reviews for Chapter Nine:

Yutaka Hadekawa: I've decided to come here just to correct a few things. No other reason. While Blessed Thistle is a medicinal herb... it's properties would not help a wound. It's a plant which, although bitter, can help women lactate. I once took it, for... um... uh... did it work? Well... no... but... hold on, why is the Boss looking at me like that? It's not anything to be laughed at!

Mateyuu Dawitsu: Hee hee hee... oh Yutaka, there's no need to take Blessed Thistle! Everyone knows that you're cute just the way you are! Why would you want... OW! Um... I'll stop talking now, shall I?

Eirin Yagokoro: Hold on, why didn't they just take all the plants they needed instead of just one? I have Aloe Vera, Blessed Thistle, Chaparrel, Digitalis, Elderberry, and much, much more! Please go to Eirin's Clinic for more details on how your illnesses can be cured...

[Typist's Note: This is most likely an advertisement, please ignore it...]

Reisen Udongein Inaba: No! No! Eirin, why didn't you bring up the fact that she turned me into a frog! I... I... I can't believe you didn't stick up for me!

Yukari Yakumo: Okay, is this story just out to insult everybody in Gensokyo? Is this just a very elaborate way of committing suicide for you? The only people you've described as good is me, that moron, and an obvious insert of yourself... that's just... stupid. Or do you really view the world that way? That's... actually pretty frightening. I... the great border youkai... am now frightened of a Lizard Youkai. What has this world come to?
