While Reimu was away, James, Marisa, and the three magic conductors all took care of the shrine. James, now having been told to stay out of Reimu's room, brought his own miko dress.

"Jesus Christ!" said George.

Marisa just laughed, "What are you wearing?"

"I was told to help watch Reimu's shrine. So I might as well look the part."

"Isn't Gordon supposed to be here?" said James, trying to divert attention away from himself.

"Yeah where is he?" wondered Marisa.

"I'll have a bet where he might be." said Ringo.

"Where do you think he might be?" asked Alec.

"He's always racing the tengu. I say we see what he's up to."

So Ringo blew his whistle and a cloud of magic gold dust appeared and they watched what was inside the cloud...


Gordon was at the top of Youkai Mountain, just where the tengu lived. He always would come up here and challenge the faster of the tengu to races. Sometimes he'd win, other times, he straight up lost. One of the tengu he thought an equal was Aya Shameimaru, the lone reporter and editor of the Bunbunmaru Newspaper.

Today, Gordon had 'forgotten' his duties at the Hakurei Shrine and was waiting by the Bunbunmaru Newspaper building. He waited with baited breath, "This time," he thought, "I'd win."

Finally he saw Aya come outside. He approached her and challenged her.

"Your on! I hope you manage to stay on the road this time." she said.

"Me? Crash! A sensible en-I mean person, would never crash." boasted Gordon.

"So I suppose your not sensible, since you nearly fell down the entirety of this mountain." replied Aya.

"Let's battle with our wits later, we race now and only now."

Gordon got into his car, an experimental kappa design. It used hydrogen cells for fuel and had all sorts of gadgetry to manage the run down Youkai Mountain.

Aya bowed into postion. Gordon revved his car's engine. A large crowd of tengu watched them get ready.

"Ready?"

"Ready!"

"Then's lets go already!"

The two were off, Aya had a headstart, but Gordon soon caught up. Gordon put the car to third, then fourth gear. The two neared the end of the village, and the start of the run down. But Gordon floored the gas and soon pulled ahead of Aya, who responded by running even faster.

"Pah! Let's see you try to beat this!" said Gordon, putting his car to sixth gear.

Aya was well ahead of Gordon, but she soon heard Gordon zoom by. Aya went even faster, now they were head to head.

"Out of my way!" shouted Gordon.

"Bite me!" replied Aya.

Going head to head, side by side this way was dangerous as the road would soon narrow.

"This is my chance!" thought Gordon.

Gordon pressed a button, several tanks of Nitrous Oxide were located at the back of the car and Gordon pulled ahead into the narrow path. Where he soon encountered his first turn. He pulled the handbrake and the car skidded across the curve horizontally and zoomed down the path.

Aya responded by flying down the mountain and landing ahead of Gordon to resume running.

"What the?! That nerve of that woman!" said Gordon, as Aya reappeared right in front of him.

Gordon's car had 10 gears, which gave him the advantage of going faster, but the downside was that if he stopped, it would take a lot of precious time to get back up to speed. Another downside was that the car was only tested to the seventh gear, anything beyond that was considered dangerous.

The path narrowed even further and Aya was ahead. Gordon thought it was a good opportunity to use of his new gadgets. He pressed a button on the steering wheel and kanabo-like studs appeared on the wheels, Gordon waited until the wall was angled just right to drive onto the wall, which he eventually did.

"Hi Aya!" said Gordon, "Bye Aya!"

"Bother!" exclaimed Aya, using a word Gordon would use.

Gordon drove off the wall and back onto the path, up next was a tight curve, he had nearly fallen off the path here once, doing so would be fatal. So Gordon kicked it to sixth gear and drifted as hard as he could. The car nearly tipped over when he turned the corner. The car landed on the ground with an audible thud.

"That was too close." thought Gordon.

But Aya was still ahead. Gordon tooted the car's horn, which he asked for the sound to resemble a Class 125 HST.

"HEY-HAW!" went the horn, Gordon pressed it again, "HEY-HAW!"

Gordon put it to seventh gear and passed Aya, "SPEED AND POWER!" cried Gordon as he whizzed down the mountain road.

"That bastard!" said Aya to herself, so she ran off the path and went flying down the mountain, she passed Gordon and landed on the dirt road below.

"I won't be beaten by her!" said Gordon indignantly.

So he pressed the button and the studs came back and Gordon just simply drove down the mountain side to where Aya was. He beeped the horn when he passed her.

"Son of a bitch!" thought Aya.

Gordon, making sure he had the lead, set his car to eighth gear. The car body rattled slightly and the quiet hydrogen burning engine began to get more louder.

"Hopefully this holds." said Gordon, unsure of what's going to happen next.

Aya stopped running at this point and was no flying. She knew not to cheat and so she followed the path. She surpassed Gordon's car and made a face.

"Disgraceful!" said Gordon, "How rude."

Gordon put his car to ninth gear, his car rattled even more and engine grew louder. She used some Nitrous Oxide for boosting, but Aya was still in the lead.

"SPEED AND POWAA!" screamed Gordon as he boosted and put his car to the tenth and final gear.

Gordon's car screamed down the mountain, he finally passed Aya but slowed as his Nitrous tanks ran empty.

"Bother!" he said, audibly.

Aya and Gordon were once again, side by side.

"Gordon!" yelled Aya, "Your car is falling apart!"

"Suck it, Aya!" retorted Gordon.

"No seriously!" replied Aya.

Gordon just flipped the bird at Aya and rolled his windows back up. But Gordon's car really was falling apart. His spoiler fell off, followed by parts of his trunk (he calls it a 'boot') and the hydrogen screamed like a BR Class 55 'Deltic' being thrashed to its utter limit. Gordon didn't know he was in trouble until the hood (he calls it a 'bonnet') flew upward before falling off.

"Oh, cock!" exclaimed Gordon.

"Told you Anglophile bastard!" screamed Aya.

Aya was now not flying for a race, she was flying to make sure Gordon was okay.

Aya slowed down, but slowed down too much and Gordon roared ahead. Aya picked up speed once more and now the two were side by side again.

"GORDON! LISTEN TO ME! YOU CAR IS FALLING APART!" boomed Aya.

Gordon, now nervous, still had a lot of pride in him. Much too proud to tell Aya how he felt about his new situation. He just floored the gas peddle and went down the last several turns down the moutain.

Now for Aya to get into Gordon's thick skull, she now had an incentive to beat him. Aya pushed her self to the limit and passed Gordon. She looked back and saw that Gordon's engine had caught fire.

"Fitting for someone who used to be a steam engine." thought Aya.

Gordon was now afraid what was going to happen next, he swerved the last turn and caught up with Aya and passed her, he nearly was at the end (which was when Youkai Mountain ended and where The Great Youkai Forest began).

Gordon tried to stop once the first row of trees were within sight. But his brakes had jammed. He tried to shift down a few gears to slow down, but the shift stick was stuck.

"Oh cock! Oh cock! Oh cock!" said Gordon, with the utmost anxiety.

The car screamed into the forest, all sorts of youkai poked their heads out to see what the noise was about. Gordon weaved by tree after tree, but soon he lost complete control of the steering column. None of the buttons on his steering wheel would respond.

Gordon saw that he was heading straight for a tree, he lost all emotion and he said with the stiffest upper lip, "Oh bother."

The car smashed into the tree, the engine exploded violently. The tree was old and so strong that the front of the car looked it was taking a bite out of the tree.

Aya was not too far behind.

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." said Aya, sprinting down to where Gordon had crashed.

Gordon had won the race, but was close to losing his own life. Aya pulled Gordon's limp body out of the car, just before the Hydrogen cells exploded. The car was completely destroyed.

"Come on, Gordon! Please respond!" said Aya, slapping Gordon's unconscious face.

She then, knew what she had to do.


Reimu was bored, the TV that was in her room was only good for watching the channels that came from atop Youkai Mountain. Tengu Broadcasting Company channels 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Henry was in the room with Reimu.

"Trash! Utter trash!" complained Reimu.

"This reminds me of the BBC." said Henry.

"Where the shows there just as bad these?"

Henry was at a loss for words, he wasn't sure if he should prove that the BBC had good programs or to just agree with her.

Just then, Eirin and Reisen wheeled in another paitent.

"Who's this?" asked Henry.

"That's my question also." said Reimu.

The patient next to Reimu was covered in a full body cast, the face was covered in soot.

"Gordon tried to race Aya again." said Eirin, "He crashed right into a tree."

"Good heavens!" exclaimed Henry.

A muffled voice came from the body cast. No one knew what exactly Gordon was saying, but it probably went along the lines of "Oh, the indignity."
