It had been a rough night getting home for Nathan and Pickles. When the singer had bought the map back to the Prismriver's he didn't expect one without an English translation, so he went off of the map on pure luck and some educated guesses. What pissed him off even more was lugging Pickles around on his shoulder while the drummer kept mumbling drunkenly about conspiracies about youkai and the U.S. government, none of which made any sense whatsoever. When they got home, it was nearly 3 in the morning, so everyone but the poltergeists were asleep, which was good because Nathan needed the help in dragging Pickles to his bed. Lesson learned: never go anywhere without knowing where you're going first.

The next morning, Yukari came by and gapped Dethklok into the foyer in front of her and the Prismrivers while they were still in their pajamas. Unfortunately she decided to have a bit of fun at their expense and gapped them five feet above the ground, which they landed with a hard thud.

"Hey, the hells was that fors?" Skwisgaar complained while rubbing his head.

Yukari struggled to hold back a laugh. "Good morning to you boys too," she said. "So how was your first night here?"

Nathan looked over at the horribly hungover Pickles, remembering the bar. "Uh, I think Pickles found a new drinking buddy," he said. "Had to drag his ass back here after him and her decided to have a drinking contest and they passed out."

The gap youkai tried to think about what he was talking about, but then it hit her. "Oh no, you ran into Suika didn't you?" They nodded. She rubbed her forehead and sighed. "You're lucky you're even alive if you tried taking her of all people on in a drinking contest. She spends most of her time drinking and relaxing, which by being an oni makes her tolerance for alcohol unbelievably high compared to most humans." She turned to the remaining bandmates. "And as for you three?"

"The Prismriver girls showeds us their musics and it was weird," Toki replied. "Not brutals, but it wasn't bads either. I felt weird afterward though."

"Turnsh out these girlsh have some kind of powersh or something," Murderface said, referring to the Prismrivers. "When Lunasha played her violin, I felt like killing myshelf. And then when the other two played, I felt lessh shuicidal then usual! The (guitar screech) is that!?"

Merlin giggled. "Every resident of Gensokyo has some sort of divine ability, even us."

Lyrica nodded. "Lunasa has the power to play melancholic notes on her violin, Merlin has the power to play maniac notes to amplify people's feelings, or in better terms, happier notes, and I have the power to play illusionary notes to tie it all in together. We all balance each other out in a performance."

"I'm sorry for letting the music get to you though Murderface," Lunasa apologized. "That wasn't my intention when we were showing you our stuff."

Skwisgaar put up his hand. "Eh, don't worrys about it. Murderface act like a crybabies all the time back home. Your musics wouldn't do anythings to him after all."

"Yeah, that's ri- hey, (guitar screech) you Skwishgaar!" the bassist yelled.

"You sees?" The girls nodded, also trying to hold back a laugh.

Now it was Charles's turn to join in the conversation. "Anyways boys, the music festival is tomorrow night, so I would take it that you would try and rehearse a bit today correct?"

None of the guys really liked rehearsing, but they knew that it was somewhat essential to even surviving in this business. They sighed and nodded. "We'll practice later tonight," Nathan agreed. "I still wanna check out this place since I doubt we'll be back here again."

"I can understand that," Yukari nodded. "Gensokyo is quite the sight to take in. I encourage you all to do some sightseeing while you're here." She looked over at Pickles, who was trying to focus on everything with the giant hangover still affecting him. "And it would be a good idea to have someone come with you so you don't end up lost again."

"W-wait, howd'ya know we got lost last night?" Pickles asked.

"Youkai of borders at your service." Pickles facepalmed. Yukari giggled and turned to the poltergeists. "Now I'm sure you three have practicing to do as well, correct?" They nodded. She turned back to the band. "Very well, I will contact a friend of mine to give you all a tour of Gensokyo for the afternoon if you're all interested."

Toki had a gleam in his eyes. "Oh greats! I can't wait to sees the city!" he said in a cheery voice. "I wants to eat real Japanese ramens for once and not that cheap (guitar screech)-s back at home!"

"Ah, what the hell, why not?" Murderface said. "Not everyday you get to shee Japan."

'And I cans go finds a hooker,' Skwisgaar thought, remembering the huge chunk of change the Klokateers packed for him back at Mordhaus.

Yukari smiled. "Then it's settled. Be ready to go in an hour and you'll all get your tour."

A while later, Yukari gapped Dethklok in front of a rustic-looking shrine that looked like it's seen better days. "Charles and I have some matters to discuss before the festival tomorrow," the gap youkai said. "I will introduce you to Reimu so she can show you around and we'll meet back some time later." The band nodded and they all walked to the door of the shrine.

Yukari rapped on the door. "Hello? Reimu?" she asked. "Are you home?"

A second later, a girl in her mid-teens dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit answered the door in a less-than-pleased matter. "You know I'm always home Yukari, what do you want?" she barked.

"My my my, someone's a little irritable today."

Reimu rubbed her eyes and yawned. "I spent all night convincing Marisa not to break into the Scarlet Devil Mansion again because Patchouli booby-trapped the place and I haven't gotten much sleep. So what is it that you need?" Yukari stepped to the side to reveal the five musicians. She waved at them and turned back to her. "You brought Dethklok here? Why?"

"They want to explore Gensokyo this afternoon and they're in need of a tour guide so that they don't get lost. I came here to ask you to do it." Before Reimu could complain, Yukari leaned close to her ear. "There's 112,000 yen (about $1,000 U.S.) in it for you if you accept the offer."

Reimu's eyes turned into yen signs. She lit up like her blood was made of caffeine and went over to the guys. "Hello, my name is Reimu Hakurei, shrine maiden of paradise," she introduced in an unusual singsong voice. "I heard you're in need of a tour guide?"

"Hi theres, my names is Toki!" the enthusiastic guitarist said, holding out his hand. "I've always wanted to explores Japan, nice to meets you Reimu!"

The shrine maiden shook it. "Oh trust me, everyone in Gensokyo knows about you guys and boy are they excited to see the performance tomorrow."

Pickles, who had a bag of ice on his head due to the previous night, said "Ah really? Didn't think everyone in Gensokyo was a fan of ours."

She nodded. "That's right, we all are. And pardon me for asking, but did you hurt yourself?"

"Pickles got a hangover after getting into a drinking contest last night," Nathan answered.

Reimu confusingly turned to Yukari. "Pickles can get hangovers?"

Yukari sighed. "The contest was against Suika." The miko rubbed her forehead and shook it in disbelief. "Yep, that was my reaction too." She turned back to the band. "I will leave you all here for now. You're in good hands though, I promise you that." With that last word, she gapped herself away from the band and shrine maiden.

"So shall we be off then?" Reimu asked. The band nodded and then the six of them headed down the shrine's stairs to begin their giant tour.

A few hours later the touring party had covered most of Gensokyo and were making their way to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. "And coming up is the Bamboo Forest," Reimu pointed out. "It's not hard to get lost in here unless you call for Mokou."

"Who the hell ish Mokou?" Murderface asked. "Ish she another girl youkai or shomethin?"

"Girl yes, youkai no," she answered. "In fact, she's a human."

"Not that I has a problem with this, but is everyones in Gensokyo a girl?" Skwisgaar asked. "I haven't seens a single dude here since arrivings."

Reimu shook her head. "No there are men that live here, but most of them are humans living in the human village. Most of the youkai here are female, save for a couple of them named Rinnosuke and Unzan." She looked around the entrance a bit in disappointment. "That's strange, Mokou is usually here to lead people in the forest. I guess she's already doing that."

Suddenly a red and white girl was flying through the air and crashing through some bamboo stalks just to land in front of them. "Come on Kaguya, you can do better than that!" the person said. "You're losing your touch!"

A split second later, a royal-looking girl in a pink and magenta dress landed at the foot of the forest and faced the girl with a malicious smile plastered on her face. "Oh please Mokou, I felt like going easy on you today since I'm getting tired of kicking your ass all over the place."

Mokou got red in the face with rage and a couple of fireballs appeared in her hands. "Prepare to die!"

The guys were stunned. "Does dat chick have fireballs in 'er hands?" Pickles asked to no one in particular. They slowly nodded their heads, mesmerized by the crazy event happening before them.

Mokou and Kaguya charged each other, bloodying and burning each other over and over. A minute later, Mokou was on top of Kaguya and aimed a fireball-blazen hand at her face. "I win," she cackled as she burned the princess's face off, killing her. After that was done, she dusted herself off and walked over to the still-stunned band and Reimu.

"That was pretty (guitar screech)-ing brutal," Nathan said at the sight of Kaguya's corpse and Mokou's semi-mangled body. "Haven't seen a fight that brutal since our last stop in Mexico and someone tried taking Pickles's bottle of tequila away."

She looked over at her nemesis's body. "We do that everyday, nothing special," she said, shrugging off the "compliment." The guys were still amazed that that just happened. "Long story. Anyways you guys are Dethklok right?" They nodded. "Name's Fujiwara no Mokou. I assume since Reimu's here you guys want a forest guide."

"Well not quite" Reimu said. "Yukari made me be the tour guide for these guys for the afternoon and this was our last stop."

"Dis was da best (guitar screech)-ing part of da tour!" Pickles said. "Imagine da mosh pits these two can do at a show of 'ers!"

"And we ams free from makings waivers for the show," Skwisgaar added.

Mokou cracked her knuckles and grinned at the comment. "You've got no idea how much we love pits. And if Dethklok's here, you bet your ass it's gonna be deadly if Kaguya and I are in it." She turned to the shrine maiden. "Not my idea of introducing yourself to a band you like, sorry about that."

She shrugged. "To be fair, you're not really known for good first impressions either based on the moon incident when we were sent into the forest to find you."

A vein popped into the Crimson Watchguard's forehead. "That wasn't my fault, that's because Kagu-!" She stopped when they both caught sight of the five band members staring at them confusingly. She cooled off for a second, no pun intended, and faced them. "Anyways, glad you guys could make it. Can't wait for the show tomorrow!" She waved goodbye to them and walked off into the Bamboo Forest.

"So should we be getting back then?" Reimu asked. "The tour's pretty much over. Sorry I'm not much of a tour guide, but then again it's not really my job to be either."

"If your nots a tour guide, then whats is your job Miss Reimu?" Toki asked.

Reimu sighed deeply and explained her role as the Hakurei Shrine Maiden and how she maintains Gensokyo's balance by dealing with incidents, no matter how dangerous or utterly ridiculous they are, and she also explained what she meant by the "moon incident" when Mokou and Kaguya was there a minute ago. "And so if there's ever any trouble in Gensokyo, me and occasionally others will be the ones to fix it and deal with the perpetrators," she concluded.

"So what you're saying is you, Yukari, and whoever this Marisa is are the big shots around here?" Nathan asked. She nodded. "Explains why Yukari was the one who booked us. Anyways we probably should get back and get some practicing done so Charles doesn't throw a bitch fit at us." On that note, the six of them headed back to the Prismrivers' mansion to conclude the tour, get Reimu paid, and for the band to get serious and practice for the big night tomorrow.
