Author's notes:
Sorry about that, quite a while since I last posted updates. Hmm, anyway will have to keep working hard, studies and this.
Recap.
Marisa is in Reimu's body, with quite interesting results, mainly Marisa's curiosity to test out Reimu's full extent of abilities.
Reimu is currently suffering in Marisa's body, mostly cursing whoever who had done it.
" Alright! You learned to fly magically after descending into Makai, and your hair changed color, but now you don't know how to fly and we are back at square one. Come with me." With a beckoning gesture, Marisa walked to center of the courtyard, broom supported across her shoulders.
Despite the knowledge that they would have to be in each others body for a while, it still unsettled Reimu how perfectly Marisa controlled her body. Like one of those dreams where your ethereal self is separate from your body, but in this one her body moved independently. Reimu still had trouble controlling Marisa's body, mainly due to Marisa's shorter limbs and height. Rather clumsily, Reimu made her way to Marisa's side.
Tilting her head upwards, Marisa stared into the sky. Flying. A magical skill she had always wanted as a kid, and yet, it was never easy to learn. How many times had she fallen? The pain of breaking each limb, the crying of a loved one trying to ease the burden, how could she avoid that all...
But. Marisa turned to look carefully at her student. This was Reimu, despite her being in Marisa's body, she would still be able to learn quickly, something the Hakurei blood possessed, there would be no problems. Right? Ya, she would learn to fly today. Marisa assured herself, spinning the broom overhead.
"Here!" Marisa trusted the broom into Reimu's hands. "You two get along now and don't try and kill each other."
"Ehhh! Marisa what are you saying?"
"What? She is my greatest friend, saved my life countless number of times. Heck, Mima enchanted her herself. She will be your flying partner while you are in my body." Marisa lovingly stroked the broom handle.
Suddenly, the broom shoot out from Reimu's hands, angling upwards. Doing a huge loop, the broom skimmed the floor, knocking Reimu's legs from under her, forcing her to grab on the broom.
"Maaarriisaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Reimu hung on for dear life, screaming whilst the world turned into a whirlwind of shapes and colors as the broom delighted itself doing loop de loops and aerial acrobatics, stopping just short of obstacles and basically did everything Reimu didn't want it to.
"HAHAHA!" Marisa fell down and started rolling on the ground as soon as the broom had took off.
"Help meeeeeeeeeeeee. " Out of control, the broom continued Reimu's misery. Currently it was weaving its way through the supporting beams that held up the roof of the shrine, before exiting the shrine and angling upwards.
"Hmmmnn" Marisa mastered her laughter, as it was very inappropriate at the moment. Her eyes traced the patterns that the broom flied in, as multiple calculations ran through her head. Spotting a possible loophole, Marisa kicked off hard against the ground, flying upwards as the broom fired downwards.
The broom spun towards Marisa's left, avoiding her outstretched hands. "Damn, Reimu's flying is slow!" After three seconds of chasing the broom( Reimu still on it ), Marisa gave up, settling back into a cross legged sitting position on the ground.
At the moment, the broom was doing a figure of eight as a celebratory dance. Reimu hugged the broom tightly, back parallel with the broom's handle. Without warning, the broom jerked suddenly to the right, forcing Reimu to loosen her tight leg vice on the broom, leaving her hanging onto the broom only with her left hand. Reimu grabbed her left wrist with her right hand to try and improve her grip.
"Reimu, let go!"
" NO FREAKING WAY!"
"Trust me"
Marisa stood up as she relayed the instructions. As soon as Reimu's hand stopped contact with the broom, Marisa shot off like a in a sprint race. Assisted by Reimu's body natural levitation, Marisa leaped upwards to catch the falling Reimu.
"Hiya, did you miss me?" Marisa caught and cradled Reimu in her arms, as the broom proceeded to do spiral down, pulling up last minute and slamming into the donation box.
[SFX:BAM]
"Ah!" Reimu lay in Marisa hands, powerless to do anything but watch as her shrine got massacred by the one broom. As soon as Marisa landed, Reimu pushed Marisa away, rushing to the front of her shrine, toward the place that her donation box sat on. A mess of splinters and two 100 yen coins scattered around, and in the middle an unharmed broom lying innocently amongst the carnage.
NO NO NO! How many times had her shrine been the bloodied victim of some crazed youkai, and now, now her donation box destroyed by Marisa. Crumbling to her knees, Reimu began to do what every young girl does when faced with tragedy. Cry. The donation box meant everything to her, and now lay in a sea of wooden fragments and broken tiles. She may not have been injured, but her heart broke the instant the broom made contact. Tears flowed down her face, as her legs gave way, forcing her body to crash into the ground. It didn't matter, nothing did now anyway.
"Wow, being Reimu lots easier than it looks. Cause that being only flying, but ya... it's a step in the right direction right?" Marisa rambled uncontrollably happy, seemingly detached from the disaster that lay in front of her.
Shattered wooden boards, broken frame and a young blonde girl slumped onto the floor, hands holding her face. "Oh!" This scene would be burned in Marisa's memory for a long time.
" Come on." Marisa tried lifting Reimu, only for Reimu to flop back down like a corpse. Propping Reimu against one of the wooden pillars, Marisa poured a cup of tea to sooth Reimu's nerves down. Reimu stared straight with lifeless eyes, body motionless except for the slight rise and fall caused by breathing.
"Seriously, what am I suppose to do with her?" Marisa silently raged.
