Otherworldly Escapade

A Trip To The Human Village

Reimu and Alice's Part

"I can't find her..." Reimu said as she floats down to where Aunn is. After she landed she kicks the ground and dust formed to bite her back in the face.

"Bleh! Stupid dust!" She waves her hands to blow away the dust. "I can't believe this... Aunn did you see where she could have been blown away?" She asks the Komainu.

As she did, Alice also came back with no news about Rain either.

Though Aunn didn't actually see where could have Rain have been flung to. She shares her thoughts to them.

"I didn't see her either but it's best to know that she's not in this area anymore. Our best bet is that she landed in or near the Forest of Magic. It is not possible for her to be blown pass that range."

"Huh...look at you Aunn being smart. Thanks we'll conduct the search and you'll stay here and guard the shrine while I'm gone."

Hearing this Alice could not help but mentally remark.

'Is she praising or insulting her? This wouldn't have happened if I didn't let my emotions take over... I've- I've been a bad friend.'

She's so focused on reflecting her mistakes that she didn't noticed Reimu already left her. She was only snapped back into it when Aunn called out to her.

"Umm, miss Alice? Miss Reimu already left." Aunn said as she points to the direction where Reimu had gone to.

"What?!" She quickly flew away and followed Reimu.

Aunn being left alone again said "It's already just the first day with Miss Rain, perhaps that darkness is making her unlucky?" She looked at the sky for a moment and then stands guard.

Forest of Magic --Reimu and Alice's search continues--

"Haaaah," Reimu expelled a tired sigh."How are we supposed to find her in this thick forest?" She grumbles.

"Flying out in the open is also not an option as all I can see are trees and vines." Alice added.

With this they will have a hard time finding Rain this way. Well until that is, they spotted a blonde girl with red eyes.

Yes, this is indeed Rumia. The yokai, Rain supposedly have fought –again if that is even a battle–.

They take all the chances they could get and went to talk to her.

"Hey you!" Reimu shouted and this startled Rumia.

"Eek! The human red-white! Sorry I cannot play with you, the bleeding human earlier annoyed me so I'm not in the mood." Rumia said as she tries to get away.

Both of them heard this and quickly looked at each other before stopping Rumia from leaving.

"Hey, you said a bleeding human right?! Does she have a silver-white hair and wears an armor with swords on her waist?" Reimu said. The way her face is very close to Rumia and her tone of asking might have intimated the little yokai as she's not eager to answer Reimu.

"Hey, come on answer me!" Reimu pushed on.

"Reimu, stop let me handle this." Alice stops Reimu and closely leans in to Rumia.

"It's okay, did red-white scared you?" Alice tries to comfort Rumia.

"What?! In what way that was scary?!" Reimu protest only for Alice to wink at her and motioned her to go away.

Reimu turned her back at them and slowly walked away while grumbling.

"Alright, she's far away now. Can you tell me what happened?" Alice gently said and Rumia opens up to her.
