Chapter 11 - NO ESCAPE
LEO'S POV ========= As we flew off throughout the dark sky, I began to feel a bit nauseous. I try to stay calm and hug Marisa as tight as I can. Marisa chuckles and turns to me. "What's the matter? Your grip seems to be tightening." She gave me a smirk. I tried to answer but I just keep myself in silence. She laughs and told me that we'll be there soon. I just hope we'll be there as quick. I sighed and look up, trying to empty my mind. Without noticing, danmaku bullets fly pass us. Marisa dodges them and turns to me. "We got a yokai in our sight! Hang on okay?!" This is bad. A danmaku battle in the skies with me as the hostage. I ask Marisa to put me down on the ground first but it was too late, the battle already begun. I try to get a glimpse of the yokai in front of us.
She looks like a little girl with short blonde hair and bloody red eyes. She looks at us happily. "Hello again, witch-lady!" Marisa just smirks and look at her with full determination. "Hey, Rumia. Mind letting us pass through?" Rumia shook her head and told us that she was really hungry. Her attention was pulled directly to me. I knew I was the target. Marisa told me to stay calm and hold on to her tightly.
MARISA'S POV ============ Well, this is going to be fun. Rumia came up from the blue and challenge me for a danmaku battle. I smirked and told her that if she wins, she'll keep Leo as a prize. Leo started to panic and hits my back. "What?! Why?!" I just chuckled and told him to stay calm. Rumia's an easy yokai to fight with. Rumia then nodded and started the battle. I aimed my mini-hakkero at her and started shooting. Rumia manage to dodge some of it before running into some of the bullets. She then smirks at me and starts shooting back. Her pattern is still the same as I remembered. I manage to dodge them by passing through the gaps between the bullet patterns. "Come on! Give me some challenge Rumia!"
Rumia smirks and starts shooting more bullets in an unusual pattern. This is a new pattern that I haven't seen before. This is going to be difficult. I tried my best to go through the pattern's gap and manage to dodge them. Some of the bullets were so close to me but we ran through the gap without any casualties. But then, without warning, Rumia started her spell card attack. "Moon Sign. Moonlight Ray!" Rumia began to shoot us with her spell card pattern. It seems to be the same so we dodge through without any problems because the pattern seems to be obvious to me. I could feel Leo tighten his grasp on me. Heh, he is scared.
Rumia then shoots the same pattern again. I dodge them with ease but then, Rumia smirks and shoots out a two sided laser patterns towards us. I was caught off guard and dodged some of it while some of the bullets hit me in the side of my right shin. Leo looks at me as I hissed in pain. "Are you alright?" I just nodded and told Leo to hang tight. I began flying upwards and starts shooting at Rumia. She's more persistent than usual so I charge up my mini-hakkero for my Master Spark attack.
Rumia gave a smile to me and does the same pattern again, but this time the gaps are smaller than usual. Leo started to panic. "I-I don't think we could graze through!" I gave a smirk and flew directly into the pattern, trying to graze through the pattern. All I need is just luck. After I got through some of the patterns, I aimed my mini-hakkero at Rumia. Rumia's eyes widen as I gave a slight smirk to her. "MASTER SPARK!"
The beam fires out of my mini-hakkero and blew Rumia out of our sight. Leo peeks from behind my shoulder. "D-did we get her?" I just nodded. "Yeah. Though that spell card attack was different than usual. Glad we survived, eh?" I gave a slight chuckle and winked at him. He just blushed and looks down. What do you know? He's shy. I told him we'll get to Yukari shortly but as soon as we are about to flew off, bullets started firing again. Rumia smirks again and fires more bullets and one of the bullet hits Leo's arm. He accidently let go of his grasp and fell off the broom.
I quickly grabs his wrist, trying to pull him off. Rumia comes up in a distant and starts shooting towards us. I try to dodge them but it's hard to manuever my broom while holding on to Leo. I told him to hang on and pull out my mini-hakkero. It may take a long time to charge it for another Master Spark attack so I kept my distant from Rumia and start shooting bullets at her. Rumia took all the shot and gave a confident at me. She began her second spell card attack phase. "Night Sign, Night Bird." I knew this won't be easy, so I try to pull Leo back up but failed. Rumia's bullets hits the front tip of the broom, making me losing my stability. Even my grasp with Leo is losing. I try to dodge all of the bullets again and shoots back. Then, my mini-hakkero shines again. Now it's fully recharge. I aim the mini-hakkero at Rumia and shoots the Master Spark beam towards her. Then, the whole battle ended while Rumia fell to the ground with a hard impact. That's gotta hurt but I know she'll live. She's a youkai.
I gave out a sighed of relief and accidently let go of Leo. I quickly go further down and catch him in my arms. To be honest, he's lighter than I thought. I just apologizes and laughed. He just blushes and looks away. Afterwards, we flew off to Yukari's place and arrived moments later.
LEO'S POV ========= Marisa landed on the ground safely and I quickly jumped off her arms. It's embarassing to be carried in the arms of a girl. Usually, in the outside world it's vice-versa. I guess everything's different here from my perspective. Yukari's place looks like one of those village houses in the Human Village but a bit larger from size. Marisa walks to the front porch and calls out for them. Then, someone slid the front door open. "Oh, Marisa. You're here. And that must be the one that Reimu talked about." The woman was tall and has a fluffy fox tails. I quickly thought that she might be a Kitsune. No point asking if I already know what she is.
We walked in and saw Reimu and Kenta was sitting there. A cat girl and a rather young adult woman are at the opposite side of the kotatsu with them. Reimu glares at us. "What took you two so long? Going on a date or something?" Marisa laughs her heart out. "Yeah right if I wanna date this sore weakling." Marisa turns to me and winks. I don't know whether to take it seriously or not. Still, I am a sore weakling. I sighed and ignored it. I walk towards the kotatsu and sat besides Reimu.
"You must be Leo. It is nice to finally meet you. My name is Yukari Yakumo, the youkai of boundaries." she gave a smile at me. So this is Yukari that Kenta told me about. I nodded and kept myself silent. "I heard from Reimu that you are having difficulties of going through the Hakurei Border. Well, I'm glad that I'm here to help you get out of here." She gave a broad smile to me. She looks at me with content. "You're cute." She giggles. I just blushed and look away. "Thanks." My reaction is so simple, some people might call it as a sarcastic reply.
Reimu sighed and looks at Yukari. "So. Can you gap him back to his place?" Yukari nodded and snaps her fingers. I turned back and saw a giant purple gap suddenly appeared behind me. "This is your place, right? Look closer." I nodded and took a look closer to the gap. I can see the buildings and the tall skyscraper. It is the outside world. I can finally go back! I never felt so happy, I could shed a tear right now. I turned to Yukari and smiles. "T-thank you... I wish I could repay you for-" She giggles and shook her head. "It's alright. Go right ahead. It's free." I smiled and said my farewell to the others. I walk towards the gap and took a deep breath. I nodded slightly in determination and walks into the gap.
I opened my eyes and what I saw is different than I expected. There are large trees surrounding me. No. This can't be. I got up and look back. The gap is there but it's closing. I try to run towards the gap but I was too late. The gap has closed, leaving me here all alone where I started. I sighed and look around. At least I still remember the way to the Myouren Temple. Maybe I could go visit there.
But why am I back here? What keeps me from going back to the outside world? Is there even a reason for me to be here? I took a deep sigh. Thinking about it more only makes my head hurt. This is getting out of hand... I continue walking through the forest to my next destination. The Myouren Temple. I just hope I could find my answers there. There will be. Call it a hunch but I know there will be answers there.
