Note: i own nothing except the OC and the plot of this story, all hail ZUN.
Marisa takes the initiative and speeds forward towards Reimu. With a swipe of her hand, a volley of star shaped danmaku are scattered at Reimu. Marisa follows up by shooting a few lasers in Reimu's general direction.
Reimu 's response is to start chucking homing ofuda charms at Marisa and throwing out a barrage of multi-colored danmaku. The display of colors is mind blowing. "So this is magic?" I wisper to myself while watching the display.
(Reimu's pov)
Multi-colored stars are flying past me. I speed of to my left to avoid a incoming barrage of danmaku and a laser aimed at where I was previously flying. I reach into my sleeves and pull out more homing ofuda and normal ofuda charms to throw at Marisa. Honestly, she relies more on sheer firepower rather than tactics.
"Feel like giving up yet reddie?!" Marisa yells at me through the hellfire. She follows up her proposal by throwing a bottle at me. I dart through an opening to my left and return fire with some danmaku and charms.
"You wish Marisa!" I yell back to her. Now shes starting to annoy me again. Drawing up my resolve, I fly up, twisting left to avoid another laser aimed at me. Gaining my bearings, I decide to draw my spellcard.
"Spirit sign 'Fantasy seal'!" I yell as I raise the spell card in the air. With a flash it glows then starts to spew out rings of white and red danmaku. Following this I release a barrage of ofuda in all directions.
(Marisa pov)
"Woah!" I exclaim with surprise. "Guess she does want to end it quickly. Well two can play at that game da-ze!" I weave left then right to avoid the incoming ofuda then narrowly squeeze between the expanding ring of white danmaku into a relatively clear area. I smirk while I pull my hakkero in front of me and aim. Here it goes!
"LOVE SIGN 'MASTER SPARK'!" I shout at the top of my lungs. I can feel the love magic start to course through and out of my body. A furious beam of pure energy is jettisoned out of the hakkero towards Reimu. As Reimu's spell card times out, she has barely enough time to dodge the laser barreling her way. Reimu takes a direct blow and it blown backwards into the ground of the shrine.
(Rita pov)
The display in front of me makes the previous display look boring. I hear Marisa yell something out. All I heard was 'Master spark' of something like that. I continue to watch for a second before I notice bright flash, then a beam heading in my direction right at me.
I start to panic at opt to stare at the beam head on. In one last effort I manage to brace myself and throw my hands out in front of me for some kind of pointless protection. I cringe and wait for the impact.
After a few moments, there was no impact and I am still breathing. I look to my right, then my left. I notice I am standing on a small island of un-cratered ground. I look behind me and can see Reimu rub her head and start to get back up a little shakily.
I look back in front of me and can see Marisa land in front of the crater. She lets out a low whistle and speaks, "Well now, what do we have here." I stare at her confused. Reimu joins Marisa and looks at me.
"Well now, that was a surprise, you can use magic." Reimu said to me nodding while thinking. "Well this changes things. You may just be able to survive here." she says in a amused voice.
Never did I imagine that I would be able to see magic be use, let alone use it. So many new ideas of things I would like to try start to pop into my mind. But I soon realize that I don't even know how I used it in the first place.
"So Reimu, about that party..." begins Marisa with a smirk of victory evident on her face, "When's you wanna throw that party ze?" she says while letting out a light chuckle. "Cheer up ok? I'm sure the shrine wont be in any worse shape than last time!"
"Last time, I had no ROOF!" Reimu yelled. "All because someone got a little drunk and decided to play a party trick and make something disappear...". At this point Reimu was rubbing her head again. Probably to ease the pain of that blow, and the mental recollection of her shrine with no roof. "Honestly, do you know how long it took to fix that?!"
"Who cares! Its fixed now right? Party next week at Reimu's ze!" yelled Marisa in triumph. Honestly I think she just likes to bug the miko. Reimu appears to not be that mad despite her friends antics. They must get along really well.
"Oh yea, Rita, you should come too! There will be lots to drink! Also a lot of people come so you might even be able to find someone able to help you out." suggested Marisa. I think she just wanted a drinking buddy but I decide to take up the offer.
"So... um... Marisa?" I ask hesitantly. Remembering my original destination and where I actually ended up. "I was intending on going to the Human Village you know."
"Fine fine... I'll take ya ok? Just give me a minute to get ready." with that said, Reimu went inside to change I assume, seeing as her clothes were now pretty tattered. Marisa went off to follow Reimu inside leaving me to sit outside.
I start to wonder just what life is going to be like now that I've had my first show magic here. Honestly it was a eye opener. If I am not careful and there are other things like them around, I may seriously end up dead. I decide that I do want to find out more about myself, giving me further reason to go to next weeks party.
Marisa walks out of the shrine holding her head. I guess she pissed of Reimu again. Deciding its better not to ask what happened, I ask if she is ready to go. She affirms this with a nod and mounts the broom. I follow suit and grasp on to her waist and pull close to her. We take off with a jolt and sail into the sky heading for the Human Village.
After about 5 or so minutes, I can see a village aproaching. "There it is, the Human Village." It actually looks quite big from the air. Marisa makes touch-down in what looks like a market place crowded with various people selling different goods. I can hear the shouting of sales-men advertising their goods as 'the cheapest around!' and 'best quality!'.
Marisa takes my hand and leads me to a less crowded area with a moderate sized building centered in the middle of a courtyard. It looks like a school, with lots of kids sitting and playing in the courtyard.
Marisa walks us in through the front of the courtyard and leads me into the main building and through a hallway. Turning right to face a double sliding door to what looks like a classroom. Marisa slams open the door and shouts.
"Hey Keine! Got someone who wants to meat ya!" Honestly, I think this girl knows no shame. I now see that we have interrupted what looks like a remedial lesson to six young students. The teacher does not look pleased in the least.
The silver haired teacher look at us with a glare and speaks up, "Can it wait Marisa? We are in the middle of class and they need to catch up in their history." The kids look at us with pleading eyes that beg us saying, 'please let it end!'.
"Well I guess it can, well be back in an hour then, hows that sound? I want to relax for a sec anyway." Exclaims Marisa while stretching her back.
"Honestly, interrupt my class and then take off. Fine, I will see you in an hour." said the silver haired teacher. I think that's Keine, judging on how she reacted to Marisa, I would say she is fairly notorious.
Marisa pulls me out of the room and we walk back outside and sit down on a nearby bench and start idle chit-chat. We decide to go get something to eat. I actually am starving seeing as I haven't eaten in a whole day.
Eventually we find a bar to eat at and sit down. Marisa orders a beer and some yakisoba, I just stick to some tea and bread. After a minute our orders arrive and we chow down on our food. I can say that food tastes a lot better if your hungry. I swear this is the best bread I have ever tasted.
After we finish our meal, Marisa asks me a question I didn't expect. "So you need a teacher right? Well I happen to be bored a lot and I think it could be kinda fun, what say if I be your teacher in magic?" she proposes.
Overjoyed that she would actually do this for me I respond, "That would be AWESOME! Please do so teacher!" I say energetically.
"Hahaha alright, just, drop the teacher, Marisa is fine." she exclaims with a small giggle. Today turned out to be really interesting. We still need to go see Keine so I can get situated before I can learn anything but I have a good feeling to go on.
