Sorry about the ending of chapter one. I meant that youkai usually slept at night, not day. Anyway, here is the second chapter. Hope you like. And please review!

Mystia woke up the next night and woke Rumia as well. The poor girl was terribly groggy. Did she ever sleep? It was strange.

Mystia went about, introducing her to everybody. First, she showed her the Scarlet Devil mansion, and introduced her to everybody there. Remilia was in a sour mood, and when they got down to Sakuya, Mystia ended up with a knife through her hat for breaking into the SDM. And when they tried to talk to Flandre, well, let's not even explain that. It got ugly.

Mystia tried to tell Reimu about her, and that didn't end up well either. They were covered in paper and yin-yangs by the time they got away from the angry, tired, shrine maiden.

Rumia said, "Ugh…. That was a disaster."

Mystia said, "Tell me about it. Especially that Flandre girl. 'Kyuu! Kyuu! Kyuu!'"

Rumia casually brushed a yin-yang off her dress. "Yeah… it was kind of a blessing that the maid lady came and knifed us before that insane vamp could blow us up again."

Mystia picked pieces of paper out of her hair and noticed that she had a paper cut on the side of her neck. "Ugh… I'm tired," she said, "lets go home."

And they did.

Mystia went to bed early that day. Rumia stayed up mostly. She flicked a sphere of darkness between her fingers. As she did, the sphere grew bigger, and bigger, until it engulfed everything in the house.

Mystia noticed the sudden darkness, and got up quickly.

Mystia gasped, "It can't be."

Then she knew.

Rumia was the cause of the influx of darkness in Gensokyo.

She was not a missing civilian; she was the cause of the disappearances.

She was the rumored demon that caused that horrible day.

Mystia tried to see through the darkness. "Stop! Stop!" she cried. The darkness diminished.

The night sparrow rubbed her eyes, and heard a sad whimpering from Rumia. Mystia said, "It's okay, you didn't mean to."

She hugged Rumia, who was repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry."

Mystia said, "It's alright, you didn't do anything wrong."

Rumia closed her eyes. She did do something wrong. She knew it deep within her soul. She remembered:

It was a dark, scary night. She was running through the woods, spreading darkness everywhere and laughing, carrying human bones with her. She heard the sound of footsteps and the crackling of fire. Torches. She kept running, no longer laughing. She kept running, and she was knocked to the ground. A human with an angry look on her face had her pinned. "I know who you are, youkai. That ribbon doesn't fool me. Not a bit," growled the person.

Rumia whimpered, "Go away! You're scaring me, and hurting me!"

The person hissed, "You did do something. Twelve years ago. Do you remember?"

Rumia cried, "I don't remember what happened in my life twelve years ago! I just landed here with no memory of who I was!"

The human sighed and sent an array of bullets at her. Rumia quickly dodged them all and ran faster, and faster, disappearing in a cloud of darkness.

Rumia broke down into tears, howling. She did something, but what?

"You did do something."

She kept sobbing and collapsed on the floor. Mystia stared in disbelief. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"You did do something. Twelve years ago."

Rumia covered her ears, as if it would stop the mental voice from hissing at her.

"Twelve years ago…remember?"

She finally got up when the voices stopped hissing at her, wet-faced. "I-I'm fine…" she said. She sat on the couch, drying her tears with her sleeve.

But the voice said one last thing before disappearing.

"I know who you are youkai."

Yes, I know it was a confusing chapter. It will be explained what Rumia did. And I do plan to use the whole Ex-Rumia thing.

Review please!
