"Hey, uh Miss Kazami what else do you want from me?" Well, officially since yesterday. Tenshi is now kick out of heaven and was disarm of Hisui. Oh revenge is sweet. Turns out our local tengu had pictures of the incident ready to go into her next story. Also the cake recipe? It was a red devil's vanilla cake. Perfection. So where does that leave me and my companions. Well.

"So, what you're saying is that Yuuka blew that hole in the mountain? Green hair,frog pin,snakelet braid, and is in blue instead of red like Reimu. It's Sanae talking to Medicine.

After that little exchange, we got a "friendly visit" by the local gods including the Harvest Gods. They uhhhh weren't kidding when they said that Minoriko was the god of abundance. She would put most woman to shame. As for me? I really wanted to not be the center of attention. Kinda hard not to stand out. I'm finally in something more masculine as we have guests here. I miss how freeing that skirt was though. Yuuka apparently had a set of jeans. Fits quite nicely with the red button long sleeve shirt on me. Still rocking the leather boots though.

"So, he's you're new gardener? I expected someone different to wanna be so close. I mean the stories alone." Minoriko despite looking like a caring mother was very sharp tongue and astute. Well harvest gods almost turned Youkai must be. Yuuka didn't retort, she sipped from her cup of sweet tea while watching Tenshi toil away in front of her. Tending to weeds sloppily and quickly. She'll sometimes pull the wrong root and instead pull out a young sunflower. Before receiving a harsh.

*Thawk*

"Ugh!Damn it all!" A quick smack in the face from a vine nearby. She'll learn to hate it or learn to be an actual decent person and not be an asshole after this. I don't think she will turn around though.

Of course this didn't stop the multitude of eyes and glances I get. I'm not a peepshow goddammit. I'm a perfectly normal human being still...I fucking hope I am at this point.I don't know what or how women think. Especially when they have plans.

"You don't like parties do you?" Oh hey Reimu. No, I don't. I shooked my head. Been awhile since I crossed my arms in resignation.

"It'll be nice to hear you speak instead of this.I don't get how a human being chose to stay with Yuuka of all people." There it is. If I could tell her I would. Yuuka is a caring woman as long as you respect her. Not much I can do except show her.

Bingo

Well I had enough of watching Tenshi failing at cutting vines. Jesus christ lady it's a plant not a rabid animal. I walk over and snatch the cutters from her. She didn't respond because her eyes looked dead inside at this point.Walking over to Yuuka and giving her cutters back.

"Ok, Tenshi you can rest now. We'll teach you later on how to plant stalk plants." Tenshi perk up and slink away to find shade somewhere. Leaving her peach hat where she left it. Well good as time as any. Luckily Reimu was close enough to get ahold of as well as Yuuka. So with this new found strength I grab them both while propping Tenshi's hat on my foot to send it into air. With a flick of my foot it sail into my mouth to catch it. Gross?Yes. However, this is necessary.

Yuuka didn't offer much resistance but Reimu, well it's Reimu.

*Thwack*

*Thwack*

*Thwack*

A consistent rhythm to my head, luckily Yuuka offer her own arm to soften the blows. I finally found the lone tree that Tenshi laid out under. Tired from her first ever morning gardening.

She open her eyes and saw her hat in my mouth. I let go of both ladies and gave back Tenshi's hat.

"I-I-...Thank you." See it's not that hard to be nice for once. Then again, I think her spirit is broken. Surprisingly, Reimu didn't just leave. I made a Ta-da motion. She sigh while Yuuka tried to hide her smile.

"Ok, fine let's talk this out. With that everyone was on the ground, I just admire the clouds overhead while laying in the grass.

"Ok, let's start with you celestial. Tenshi look at Reimu like she's crazy.

"What would you like to know, oh poor dear shrine maiden?" In the same form of egotistical malice from before. Just, now its mix with more bitter tiredness in it.

"Whats so special about Yuuka that you need to terrorize her home so much and not only that, but to go after innocent people?" Reimu gripped her gohei tighter.

"Oh please, if she wasn't called the strongest Yokai, someone else would be getting the same treatment. Besides, it's harmless fun. It's not like anyone gets hurt...much." Wrong way to answer judging by how Yuuka is tightly holding her folded parasol.

"So you'll sentence other people to an early famine? Or harm others, just because they're strong?" 1 point for Reimu, 0 for Tenshi.

"You act like you wouldn't want that eh Reimu. I mean this is your game you made."Wrong, there was not a declaration of a spellcard duel so you've been attacking us for no reason beyond your own ego trip you psychopath. Reimu didn't seem please by this answer as her neutral expression became a frown.

"Let me rephrase this for you Tenshi. If you wanna play the spellcard duels you don't go around blasting people's homes or destroy their gardens. You DECLARE it before you start BLASTING AWAY INDISCRIMINATELY!"

*THAWK!!!*

Tenshi probably could've move outta the way as the gohei came down on her head nonetheless. I swear the sound echo through the fields. Tenshi didn't react even with the massive gash on her forehead appeared underneath her hat.

"Do you want to me say sorry for not giving a warning? You land dwellers are always so sensitive about your puny rock." News flash brat, you live on this puny rock and without the barrier you wouldn't be here at all.

"OF COURSE WE'RE SENSITIVE IT'S OUR HOMES AND LIVELYHOODS YOU'RE MESSING WITH YOU ARROGANT CHILD!" Oh gosh Reimu was actually angry for once, Yuuka still doesn't respond instead she lays a comforting hand on Reimu's shoulder. She relaxes. Tenshi has a visible smirk. Even if I could be mad I couldn't. Tenshi 1 and Reimu 1,it's a tie.

"Tenshi, this place is all we have.That is why we're so angry at you for taking our home for granted." Yuuka steps in with some guidance.

"I can always just rebuild my fields after harsh rains, or a certain celestial comes ruining it. But, I won't let you harm those I care about as long as I breathe this air. I'll protect my family no matter what the cost may come." Yuuka's face became stern as she met eye to eye to Tenshi. Pretty soon Tenshi broke the eye contact first.

"Geeez, ok ok. I get it now. I'll...I'll fix your garden just keep me away from that doll." With that Yuuka went back to her small content smile, in the end fighting didn't solve the issue. Words are what conquer foes when swords and arrows cannot. She offer Tenshi tea and she begrudgingly accepted it. I'll admit when she's not being an prick to people. She's honestly pretty cute. Despite the dirt grime and blood that's on her right now. I can see why Iku had such a disappointing look on her face. She expects the eldest daughter to represent themselves as good people, but instead abuse her power just because she could.

"Which leads to my next point. Miss Hakurei you owe me an apology for mishandling your power as well." Yuuka got a astonished looked from Reimu as if she was appalled.

"Miss Kazami?" Why the name question? Reimu just gets a stare down while myself was being look at as well.

Stop that you two.

"Ok! I'm sorry for hitting him and giving him an almost concussion. Do you forgive me?" Honestly, I'm over it so I just nod. I can't be mad at her for it. As it is her job to stop disturbances. She put her hand to her heart and breath a sigh of relief. She took her sipped of sweet tea and yep, there it is that first timers reaction to it. Sweet aftertaste but bitter the first time you taste it.Reimu's grimaced face at the taste of sweet tea gives me a laugh.

"This tea is quite different from green tea whats in it?" Brown crush herbs, sugar after you boil it. Let it sit in a pitcher overnight to cool or drink it warm or just ice it, though that causes a flash taste of water instead of tea sometimes.

"Just regular brown tea leaves mix with sugar." Yeah it's about as unhealthy and expected as you get. She couldn't hide her discomfort of the information.

"Oh man that's bitter and the aftertaste is...sweet? Why?" That's the southern way girl, just embrace the heartburn. I laugh a little at my own joke as I found it to be funny. At this point they got use to my odd mannerisms.

"Can I get something to eat Yuuka?" Whoa what's the magic word Tenshi. Tenshi was ignored until she made another attempt.

"May I please have something to eat Miss Kazami? Yuuka gave her a spare pork sandwich and she inspect it before taking a careful bite. Seeing her scarf down one of the sandwich that I made atleast made me feel proud.

"Ok, you ground dwellers can make some tasty treats. I'll give you that atleast." You live off of god fruit peaches anything is better than just fruit every single day.

"So who made it?" Yuuka subtlety look over to me who was still laying on the ground admiring the clouds. I really prefer they didn't look at me at all. Tenshi had a befuddled expression on her. As if it was impossibility.

"He made this?" Hahaha men can cook. However, men can't play the elegant game of danmaku so unless I need to get into a fist fight I need one of the girls to defend my honor.

Yo look, one of the clouds look like a peach. Thats cute.

My grievances about the fact I can't really do anything in this danmaku centric world aside. The day was peaceful enough.

"My oh my. There you guys are." It's peaceful

"Oi, Reimu I thought the kid would try to propose to you Da ze." Ew, no. It's very...peaceful.

"Yuukarin, Sanae wants that Red Velvet cake recipe is it alright to tell her?" Independence! Learn Independence! Ok too much noise.

I made a heavy sigh and got up. I really need a day to figure out my defensive options, so maybe today will be good? I charged my legs made a few warm ups. Made a two finger salute to them all before hiking away. More like bounding away with long low leaps across the path to the nearby woods.

Girl's PoV:

Yuuka watch in curiosity as Venus left in a hurry, she soon realize if he wanted to run away he'll be hard to catch judging by how much control he has now.

"Ehhhhh! He has magical abilities!" Sanae now had a first look at what a human body can be capable of with super speed. Reimu didn't share the same excitement.

"He broke one of my Ying Yang orbs, if he didn't do that before, I probably would've been as surprised as you. Speaking of, he graciously donated and I forgot to tell him that may the Gods bring good fortune to him. He left in the same hurry before." Reimu had a smug expression on her while Yuuka had a very worry expression.

Oh Venus how much did you donated?Still, you're a good child unlike some here.

"Yuuka, you know how rare it is to have a non fully transform male yoakai? Other than our lonesome Shopkeeper, he would be the second." Minoriko Aki, blond short bang hair her entire color scheme is the fall season. She and Yuuka don't usually get along as their methods of feeding the entirety of Gensokyo are different in terms of how to farm; all the way to how they grow to just planting,and after reading Akyuu's book on Yuuka had a very negative effect on people. Since then, they only meet during harvest season. She could see how happy Yuuka was.

The boy has been her light since he's been here. Whatever that makes him so special?I'd guess it works on someone so...misunderstood to say the least.

"Oi pass me a anotha sandwich will ya Medicine da ze?" Medicine rolls her eyes as she gave Marisa her third one. Reimu tried to hide her famished senses, but coming here she has had 4 of them.

"You two really need to slow down. Those sandwiches were meant to last until the festival next week." Medicine huff at the two incident resolvers as they ate. Yuuka didn't mind she had plenty as she was always the only one really around to eat.

"Right, the Autumn Festival at the Hakurei Shrine. So whats the answer Yuuka?...Yuuka looked up to the cloudy blue sky then back at her flowers with the same small smile.

"Yes.We'll be there."

Back to me:

Finally, no more noise and it's that same rock from before. It's been awhile since I practice boxing. You see people punch but they don't get how to punch good. I took a sturdy wide guard stance. Geez that is sloppy form. I wish I took this more seriously back then. Lets try 3 left jabs into Right straight.

Swish* Swish*Swish*uff*

Geez, I should've taken the time to do this but you know how it is? Right cross to Left Uppercut?

Uff*...Ta*

Damn, compare to running my form is just off. Well better start practicing until I can't. 3 left jabs to fake out right cross to left straight to uppercut.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

Yuuka received different reactions Some of worry, others are surprise. Reimu especially was astonished at her answer.

"Thats good, while you're there please don't forget to donate to the shrine. Every bit helps me survive another week." Medicine and Yuuka look at the red miko in pity of her circumstances.

"Ahhh, good ol Rei Rei our best shrine maiden around ze." Marisa's comment made Sanae scoff at such a claim.

"What am I? Chopped liver? I'm deserving of praise too." This got a laugh from the younger ladies as the others had soft smiles. To them suddenly hearing other footsteps arriving.

"Sooo, the great USC Yuuka Kazami I presume?" Yuuka twitch at the nickname it in itself was an insult. She looked over to see the other shrine gods. One tall, one short. One was the face of the shrine, the other is a playful and understanding woman, one is in red, the other purple. Sanae's adoptive parents Suwako Moriya and Kanako Yasaka

"I prefer it if you just call me Yuuka miss?" Taking a very proud upright stance the woman proclaims.

"Kanako Yasaka the wind goddess of the Moriya Shrine, I must say given everything I've heard you're rather coy about your reputation. But after seeing that scorch hole in the mountain I must say I'm impressed." Yuuka had a worry expression thinking.

This woman? I wasn't trying to impress anyone. I just wanted to protect my...

She breathe loudly recollecting herself. She gazed at Suwako's odd hat that had eyes on the top of it. Suwako look up before lightly chuckling.

"Pyonta and Me go way back an' stuff. Say, this place is quite incredible, so many sunflowers. I uhhh, I wouldn't mind having a few for the shrine. Ya know ta spruce it up abit? Do ya have seeds ta spare?" A fellow plants enjoyer at heart Yuuka gave her a small pouch of seeds. Suwako's yellow eyes lit up at the gift while her irises slightly became like slits.

"Thank ya kindly, Miss Kazami I'll give them a nice home with the rest of my plants." She clutch them like a treasured pearl.

I suppose not all gods are as boastful and full of themselves. It's a nice change of pace. Venus would love to see this...OH VENUS!

"Yuukarin?" Medicine seen that look before, when Venus was hurt. Yuuka sprang up and looked around.

"VENUS!"

"VENUS!!" Oh come on.

I made a heavy agitated sigh. Better get back them before the day ends. I now had a better grasp of my boxing skills. It was nice to finally have a quiet hour to myself after everything that as happen.

*Shrrrrrshhh*

I may have went overboard on the fire though, learning how to incorporate an ability into your arsenal isn't easy. After waiting for the excess heat to disperse I quickly made my way over to the tree. I'll admit there's a giant maple tree on the far right end of the sunflower field it kinda sticks out as it touches one of the field paths and...Oh dear lord christ it's the other gods of Moriya, and Yuuka seems...worry.

I should've been paying attention as Yuuka waltz over to check on me...At the last second of near contact she stop and realized I had my fire active. I was confused as to how, until I eyed the slight flame trail I'm giving off.

*PHHHHHSSSS*

"You were out training?" I gave Yuuka a shrug of "what else was I to do"? Yuuka tsk at me in an almost disappointed mother way as if she wanted to see how my powers work. It wasn't even normal disapproval I'm used to. It's like she was up to the task of teaching me.

"So this your kid? My word he really looks like you." Thanks missus obvious maybe next time you'll tell us it's raining. Also, she is alot taller than most people here Sanae and Suwako only come up to her admittedly massive bust.

"I don't bite kid. Sanae does though." What type of person do you take me for? Sanae had a very impressive tomatoe red blush on her face. I was just...annoyed and done as this was twice someone made a joke like that. Give me a break I'm not interested, and hopefully never will be. The world, why must you hate me?

"Kanako, Ya shouldn't need ta tease the younguns besides, I think he's a respectable man. If he's staying here he must be strong atleast." Ok, grandma Suwako somehow finds me respectable. You know coming from a earth snake god that really loves frogs it kinda makes me feel warm inside.

"Speaking of what is your ability?"Reimu, your ability is bullshit and you made the spellcard rules to spite yourself because it's not fun being invincible from all damage 24/7. Mine is more versatile and practical, but I doubt I can throw hands against anyone here and get outta of it unscathed.

I can't even...but I can show her.

You know that odd jump back that takes like ten feet in a single bound? I basically did that with more traditional boxer stance when I landed. I even change the name of "Flight of Sprites" In the air it would be call "Kuki Kaminari" (Air Lightning) on the ground though I figure out that I can buff my reflexes with.

"JIRAI!" The red lightning buff I made as far as I know can boost defense and perception. Downsides, it causes a massive down pressure on my body.

"I see now, sometimes I forget that men can't play our game. I should look into fixing that. Jirai is the perfect name for it." Reimu smiled while taking out a handful of ofudas. Yuuka was about to step in before Reimu rush forward at me.

"Dodge this!" Only for that handful to become a thousand more in front of her, it would be harder to dodge normally but it more or less was a slow stream in my eyes. Gotta ends this quickly. Rushing forward I notice I had enough space to get close and deliver a uppercut underneath the ofudas. I wasn't aiming for Reimu in the first place.

To Yuuka's shocked expression she thought this would be one sided given Reimu's reputation. Instead.

*Shrrrrshhkrrt*

Around her was the shredded ofudas and a very shocked Reimu as near her face was Venus with his right arm raised high with a piece of an ofuda in his hand. His eyes were an intense plasma blue but not filled with triumph but curiosity as he lower his arm and inspect the piece of paper before letting it go and watching it fly away with the breeze.

"Whoa, wha happen just then ze!?"

"I guess that ability gave him super speed to the point that that we can't keep up with just normal eyesight." Reimu's observation was technically correct.That was certainly not what I was trying to accomplish. I was trying to just blow away the ofudas with a strike. The other part was a overcorrection of power. Jesus, I'm gonna have to get use to that. Then again if everyone is overpower then no one is. It's like getting unnecessary buff to the underdog. I'll admit it could certainly intimidate a lesser yokai the glowey eye trick certainly could just be use as a warning.

"Kids a natural fighter!"No I'm not. I honestly prefer to not fight and incidentally overstep my abilities on accident.

You should feel proud.

Not you too gap yoakai.

"So you've been training it since you got here?" Medicine the fact I fly with it, is training enough. One shadow boxing practice doesn't equate to slowing my perception of time...Maybe I thought it just enhances my reflexes cause I've gotten so used to it in the air. This power is getting more interesting the more I figure out how it works. What am I thinking? That's not a good thing.

"Venus?" I snapped outta my thoughts. There it is that soft reassurance that things are fine. I breathe in and out and soon calm down.

"Congratulations, woopie frickin doo he can make red lightning." You're a loathsome creature Tenshi.

"By the way Reimu doesn't that mean he has beaten you in a duel?" Kanako that's a dangerous thought to take this.

"Want a rematch wind god? We didn't declare anything.I wanted to see the extent of his ability...whatever that may be call or be. I'm also, just not good in hand to hand combat. He's clearly been training his whole life." Not whole life.I stop when I couldn't get any practice done at home. This might also be my second life. No..no...it isn't.

"Oh, right... May the gods bless you with good fortune."What? Oh yeah, after the Ying yang orb I destroyed, I basically "Donated" to Reimu's shrine. I'll admit whens she's not being greedy. Reimu does look regal in her outfit...What the fuck is with me recently?

It's like I'm becoming something I'm not.

"Fulfilling your duties here and not at your shrine my aren't you gracious today Reimu." Minoriko you don't mince words do you? I'm heading back to the house. I need rest.

As soon as I started to leave Yuuka grab my shoulder...Goodbye sweet couch I hardly knew yee.

"Stay." WHAT AM I A DOG!!? SLEEPS RIGHT OVER THERE...What the hell is this?

Yuuka produce an ear cleaning kit?...No...no...NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Fuck

Laying down in her warm lap again. After everything it's weird how the two us can have these moments in front of people we barely...Yuuka is...an odd woman. Warm, cozy, soft. Some part of me feels more like a delicate flower being tended to than a person. I guess it's to be expected.

"We...uh...should go now." Yes, finally peace and quiet. Go away Reimu.

Hey! Where do I sleep? In a grave cause that's where you belong Tenshi.

"I know a place but it's...uhhh...kinda poisonous buts it's big enough for you." After all that bloody murder and poison blood from yesterday. Medicine is being the pragmatic nice girl.

"Alright, I don't care. Just where's a place to wash?" Medicine made a follow me gesture and they both left for the house...If she gets on the couch and falls asleep before I'm there I'll riot.

"Yeah. This was all kinds of eye openin to me da ze." Why is Marisa the nicest one? I don't get it. Might just because people have parent issues all the time? Who knows.

"Thank ya again for ta seeds. I'll be back maybe before the festival who knows I just want to learn more about your growing methods." Bye Suwako and Pyonta. Wait, Yuuka gave her seeds, like sunflowers seeds...why? Ohhh right, earth goddess duh.

"You shouldn't be treating your child like a young baby you know?" I didn't have much of a good childhood Minoriko not that I could tell people that now. It doesn't matter anymore anyway I guess. I'll admit it's a weird experience, but maybe this is what was bothering her. I don't think Yuuka is a bad...you know. But we both are so awkward to say it so we just kinda...don't.

Finally the last two left without a word so it's just me and Yuuka...like back on my first night.Oh? She's done finally I can...

"Tired? I am too." Just like that we're parallel laying down on the shaded grass underneath the maple tree. Screw it. Today's been the most noisy one...I needed this so bad honestly.

Back to life,I'm getting closer

Getting stronger,but getting colder

Back to the way that world is suppose to be

But losing its beauty in the end

Waking up this time was pleasant as I tried to move only to realize that Yuuka has her arms wrap around my waist. I look up and see someone I didn't know. It's definitely male though. His eyes a striking yellow that glow slightly.

"Well I say this...We'll meet again kid, just not like this." It was an oddly playful voice, sounded familiar. I really wanted a better look at him but he left in a dark mist. Things are always getting stranger here in Gensokyo. Yuuka was finally awake to see the sun was about to set.

"Hmmm?What's wrong?" An incident? No, a catastrophe. Why am I involve? For some reason that guy creep me out.

"A nightmare perhaps?" Sleeping then waking up groggy really isn't helping my case Yuuka...yeah...We'll meet again.

Author:So this is the part that will establish the male centric side of Touhou that are the inverse of incidents, which are catastrophe as these kinda will determine alot more things and are like giant power plays. This is a test subplot. I'll probably relegate a Touhou Fanfiction for just this concept alone.
