Note: i am sorry to inform you that i own nothing in life except the OC and the plot of this story *sobs*
"Welcome to Gensoukyou. Hope you enjoy your stay miss." Yuuka says while making a grand gesture. "Ah well that was fun, now back to tea and please do tell me more about yourself." she suggests to me. I take a seat opposite Yuuka as Elly also joins us, sitting right next to Yuuka.
I calm my nerves by taking a sip of tea and begin to speak slowly, "W-well... My name is now Rita, as you named me... I am now a female apparently... and I now live in this magical place called Gensoukyou it would seem.". As I ponder how any of this could have happened, Elly whispers something into Yuuka's ear. With a small nod Yuuka speaks up.
"As my dear Elly has pointed out, you are now without a home and are in need of... more fitting clothes." she begins. She makes a gesture in the air and a vine brings her a white parasol. Yuuka picks up the parasol and stands up, slinging the closed parasol over her shoulder. "Rita-chan my dear please follow me.". I oblige and start to follow her.
After walking down a short corridor, we arrive at the entrance to the house. Yuuka gave me a smile and proceeded to lead me out of the house and down a small path. After a quiet trip we arrive at the border of what I assume is her territory, seeing as there are no more sunflowers here.
"If you head down this path, and keep going straight, you will eventually make your way to a place called The Human village. When your there I think it would be best to seek out a person called Keine. She teaches a school and I think she should be much better able to help you than I. Oh and yes I have forgetting something!" she quickly and gently grabs my head and gives my forehead a kiss.
At this point I am taken aback, never have I been kissed by a girl and despite being a girl myself now, it still embarrassed me and makes me blush madly. "W-what what was that for?!" I half spit out and half mutter in my embarrassment."
"That? Oh that kiss? It was simply a good bye kiss for a lovely girl~" She said in a cooing voice. This made me feel like a child again and made me pout a little. "Now get on your way if you want to make it before it gets dark!" Yuuka says while giving me a small nudge forward. I begin to walk forward in the direction she pointed me in.
I take a quick peak behind be to see her one more time and I see her waving at me while giving a gentle smile. I return the wave and walk over a small hill as she fades into the distance, passing out of sight. "The human village huh? Well I suppose that got to have a lot of humans in it if the name isn't any indication." I say to myself.
Eventually I come to a forest. It doesn't feel like a normal forest, somehow, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up but not in a frighting way. Its as if the whole place is filled with power of some kind, as if its oozing this power. Nervously I proceed forward.
"I wonder how much further it is to this village..." I muse to myself. It is at this time I realize that I no longer know where I am going, having lost the sun as a general marker of where I was going. I start to go into a micro panic. I decide that I would be better off just continuing in the direction I hoped was the correct direction.
After another 15 minutes of nervous travel through a forest filled with unknown beings, I come across a clearing with a house. The house is modest in size and has vines growing in places all over the house. The chimney is giving off smoke so I think that the house is occupied. Pushing my luck I approach the house and begin to rasp on the door carefully.
I hear some muffled thumps and some clattering inside and what sounds like tripping and running come towards the door. I really hope that this is a friendly person. After another moment I hear a voice speak up.
"Alice, if your looking for that book on life based potions, I don't have it da-ze." I notice that the voice is slightly rough but still feminine, deciding its probably a girl I speak up and say "Ah, excuse me miss but I'm not this Alice. I was kinda lost and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction..." I inquire.
Suddenly the door bolts open and the first thing I notice is that it is very messy inside. Secondly I notice the the person in front of me is indeed a female. She looks to be 18 or 19 with golden blond wavy hair that reaches down to her back. Immediately I notice she is wearing a big black witches hat on her head with a white section of fabric on it and a black and white french maids dress. I timidly smile at the girl and wait for a response.
The girl in black and white appears to be looking me over, inspecting me. After a moment she speaks up. "A human? Hum rare to see you out here. How did ya get lost ze?" she asks me wearing a smirk on her face. I start to wonder just how I got here myself and after running a sentence through my head I decide that I don't know either.
After explaining what had happened prior to me coming here, the girl who I learn is named Kirisame Marisa, thinks for a second then says. "So you got turned into a girl? BWHAHAHA that's just so funny da-ze!" she laughs at me wiping a fake tear from her eye as she continues, "So your looking for the Human village right? I can take ya there if ya want." she remarks.
I decide that her offer is probably the best bet I have of getting there in one piece at this point and take her up on the offer. "So how are we going to get there?" I ask half disinterested and more out of formality.
"On my broom of course!" she responds all to eager. This perks my head up and I give her a look of disbelief. "You mean we are going to ride on that?!" I ask with disbelief. "Well of course da ze! How else would we get there besides flying? Everybody fly's in gensoukyou... ooooh that's right, your a outsider. Well then I think we can skip the human village and go to my pal up at the shrine!" she remarks.
Now I'm just along for the ride so I decide to humor her, "Who is your friend?" I ask, "Hakurei Reimu, The shrine maiden of paradise and known to the youkai as the red white ze." she tells me with a smile obviously proud she knows someone that sounds so important. She shoos me outside and soon follow me carrying a small sack and her broom. After a quick check she mounts her broom and tells me to hold on to her tightly. I happily oblige and get a death grip on her, scared of whats to come.
"You could loosen up a bit ya know" she informs me. I do as she says with a nervous laugh and bury my face into her back and close my eyes. She is warm. And smells nice contrary to what I thought she smells like the forest. Its a pleasant smell. Just as soon as I start to calm down, Marisa kicks off and darts into the sky with my only warning being "HERE WE GO DA-ZE!". That day, screaming was heard all through out the sky's of gensoukyou.
