The Touhou characters and settings are respectively belongs to ZUN! He's an awesome guy. Long live ZUN!
Leo, my character belongs to me.
This is a self-insert fic but hey, give me a slight chance with this, okay? Thankies.
Also, I'm trying my best to keep the originality of the canon characters to make this story a bit... Original, I guess. XD
Anyway, please enjoy the story and leave a review! Peace! :D
Chapter 10 is here. And no, Reisen isn't my waifu. She's just a friend. XD My waifu is... I dunno. Nue? XD Anyway, this chapter only concentrates on Leo.
Also, this one is a bit long. So proceed with caution.
By the way, I'm answering your reviews through here so prepare. :D
.9843 - Marisa & Reimu thought he just took a walk around the Human Village and isn't stupid enough to go somewhere else. But Leo, as an idiot he could be, went wandering by himself.
MesoGear - Oh, the power origin. XD I forgot to add that. Welp, as Spaztique says, this character just pulled out his powers out of the rear end. Maybe I'll add how did he get it later.
MesoGear (Round 2. :D) - Okay, I'll take that note. Thanks. Oh, Yagokoro. Ok. Gotcha. XD And yeah, maybe you're right. I gotta be inversed within the storyline so I thought of typing this fic as a hobby now. I dunno but I can't stop and I like doing this now. XD That dream sequence will end soon as this story might get to its end soon.
MesoGear (Round 3. XD) - I forgot that Obi was a sash. I've played Soul Calibur 3 and try to remember the difference between Obi and Kimono but in the end, my brain just threw that memory out. Or maybe I was too drunk. But still thanks for pointing that out. And yeah, I typed in Keine's last name because I'm confused the last name with Nitori's last name.
Thanks to you guys for telling me what catches your attention! Note taken on every mistakes that I did.
Anyway, if anything catches your eye, tell me. I'll accept anything good or bad. Enjoy this bad, good whatever to your liking, fic!
Chapter 10 - TRAINING SESSION
LEO'S POV ========= I walk to an empty ground outside of Eientei with Reisen and Kenta. I kept my distance further from Reisen after what happened last night. I know it was only a nightmare, but I don't want that nightmare to come up real. I sighed and try to shrug it off. "We're here." Reisen smiles at me and winks. "You ready?" I just gave a slight nod and blushed a bit. Right, I need to forget about that nightmare and try to survive this danmaku battle. I know it's just a training session but after what happened in my first battle, I barely made it out alive.
"First, I'll teach you about concentrated energy shot like the one you did to finish off that yokai you fought before." I turned to her and nods. I aimed my finger towards the bright sky and concentrate on my energy like before. I tried but failed as I was still nervous. I sighed and gave a thought of giving up early. I told Reisen that I couldn't do it. She stands close behind me and lifts my arm higher. "You can do it. Concentrate, alright?" I began to blush even more. I nodded and asks her to leave me some space.
I sighed and empty my mind. I shouldn't think too much as it's just making my head heavy. I took aim and concentrate all of my energy into my arm. Then I released a huge energy beam out of my fingertip like a gun. I turned to Reisen to see her face astonished by it. I thought of giving it another shot but then a strong stinging pain stings in my whole arm. I moaned in pain as I clutch my arm tightly. The pain was unbearable.
3rd POV ======= "Leo?!" Reisen ran towards him and lend him her shoulder. Kenta ran towards them and tries to help too. "H-how could you girls do it without even h-hurting yourselves?" Leo began to feel dizzy as his energy drains quicker than usual. Reisen sets him down under the shade of the tree. "I guess you're not that physically strong to make a concentrated shot." Reisen sighs heavily. Leo looks at Reisen and tries to get up. "One... More. Just one more practice run..." Reisen was shocked by Leo's statement. Reisen told him that he is still weak but Leo continue to asks her for one more shot. Reisen sighs and nodded. "Alright... We're going to do a training danmaku battle. You can pull back if you want, okay?"
They walk back to the grounds and face each other as it was a real battle. Reisen asks Leo if he was ready. Leo nodded and tries to endure the pain in his arm.
Reisen makes a gun stance with her finger and starts shooting her bullets towards Leo. Leo manage to graze through the bullet pattern with no problem. Then comes to the next pattern where the bullets spawn in all direction, which really caught Leo off guard. He tries to graze through the pattern but some of the bullets hits him in his limbs. Leo tries to endure it badly as he began to tear up. He could feel the pain growing stronger but he still going for it. He then concentrate his energy on his arms and starts flailing them, creating his own random danmaku pattern with his bullets. Reisen dodged them with ease as the pattern leaves some rather huge gaps between the bullet spacings. She then shoots another pattern which was the hardest one to dodge. Leo's eyes widen and tries to find a way to graze through the bullets. He then ran between the bullets but accidently ran into one of them, hitting his hitbox. He instantly fainted after his hitbox got hit.
Reisen gasps and stops the training battle. Kenta was shocked to see him fell to the ground all of the sudden so he ran towards Leo while Reisen does the same. "I think one of the bullets hits his hitbox." Reisen sighs and carries Leo back to the Eientei. Kenta looks at her confused. "What's a hitbox?" Reisen looks at him and starts to explain about hitboxes to him.
Leo slowly opens his eyes and looks around. He got up and rubs his forehead. "That went horribly wrong..." He sits there and sighs. As he was about to get up, the door slides open. Kenta walks in and saw him up. "Yo. How ya feelin'?" Leo looks at him with utter confusion. "What happened to me?" Kenta sighs and sits opposite of him. "Well, your hitbox got hit by one of the bullet." Leo looks at him even more confused. "Wait, what? What's a hitbox?" Kenta explains what Reisen explains to Leo. Leo's eyes widen in surprise. "So I was down because I got a single shot in the hitbox?" Kenta nods and told him to take his rest. Leo nodded and as Kenta walks out, Leo sighs and sits there in silence.
Leo looks up to the ceiling and chuckles weakly. "Reimu's right... I do need to take myself easy..." He lies back down and gave a second thought about leaving. He was in a torn whether he wanted to leave or wanted to stay for a bit. He rubs his forehead as he didn't know what to do anymore. His mind is in utter confusion. "Knock-knock!" A voice could be heard from outside of his room. Leo turns his view to the sliding doors to see who it is.
LEO'S POV ========= The door slides open and a little girl with small bunny ears peeks in. "Hello!" She smirks happily and walks in. I asks her who she is as she walks close and sits opposite of me. "Name's Tewi! I heard from Reisen-san that you're hurt so I got a proposition for ya!" She reaches her hand into her pocket and pulled out a carrot charm that looks a bit like hers around her neck. "This is a lucky carrot charm! You can have it if you do something for me!"
I shrugged at her offer. As if my luck wasn't bad enough, huh. I chuckled and try to make fun of her by being sarcastic. I asked her how much for it jokingly but the result wasn't as I thought it would be. She smirks and place the charm into my palm before crawling onto me and slid her hand into my pockets. She pulled out my wallet and took out the 200 yen that Kenta traded with me. "I'll be keeping this! Thanks!" She quickly ran out of the room with my money. I tried to chase her down and call out for her but failed. Well, looks like my sarcasm bites me back. Karma, I guess.
"Eh? What's wrong?" I turned around to see Reisen standing at the other end of the hallway. I just chuckles and walks back in without telling her what happened. I took a look at the carrot charm and wore it. I just hope it does bring me good luck because I just lost 200 yen to a sly rabbit. Though what does she want with the 200 yen? Heck, yen currencies doesn't even work here. But that's just me being questionable again. "Anyway, Kenta told me that the two of you will be leaving after this with Reimu and Marisa. I bought you some clothes so here." The clothes looks like what I used to wear. Short-sleeved t-shirt and a pair of black pants. Good enough. I thanked her and took the clothes. I was about to take off my kimono until I realize that Reisen was still in the room with me. "Um... Do you mind?" I blushed as I glared at her. She blushes and nodded then walked out of the room, sliding the door close. I sighed and change my clothes.
After I changed my clothes, I walk out to the guest room to see everyone is there except Kenta. Maybe he went for a bathroom break? Who knows. I walk towards them and greeted them. Reimu turns to me and told me they have a solution on how can I get back to the outside world. I never felt so happy to hear that from her. I try to not get too excited so I calmly asks her how.
"I thought this one through so it might work. We're going to see Yukari and ask her to gap you out of here." Reimu looks at me with determination. Finally I could see who is this Yukari person that everyone was talking about. I asked her how should we get to this Yukari person and Marisa's answer surprises me. "Flying of course!" I gulped and rub the back of my neck. Flying? Seriously? I sighed and told them that I couldn't fly at all and afraid of heights. Marisa laughed hysterically until tears flooded her eyes. "It's okay that you can't fly, I can fly you there." Marisa smiles and wipes the tears from her eyes. I just sighed and nodded. That was the first time a girl laughed at my phobia. It was embarassing but hey, I deserve it, right? Reimu stands up and bows. "We'll be leaving now. Thank you for everything, Eirin-sama." Eirin smiles and nods. As we left the Eientei, Reisen bids us farewell and good luck. Tewi just winks at me and smirks. That sly rabbit. I hid the charm under my shirt so no one notice it though they didn't notice it at all but just to make sure.
I then remembered that Kenta weren't with us so I asked Reimu and Marisa about Kenta's whereabouts. Reimu told me that he was gapped by Yukari to her place since Kenta is her personal gappy. I felt a bit relieved that Kenta is still alive but it's kinda funny how he is used for personal reasons too. That made him look like a tool. Reimu flew off first, leaving me and Marisa behind. Marisa gets on her broom and turns to me. "Get on then." I knew this won't be a pleasant ride so I just gotta roll with it then. I got on the broom with her and immediately wrap my arms around her waist to prevent myself from falling. Marisa just chuckles and flew off to the sky.
As soon as our feet didn't touch the ground I already felt sick. I just hope that I didn't throw up on her.
