You were currently sitting in Hakugyokurou in a situation you didn't think would happen. 

"Hey, Yuyuko. Wake up." You said, nudging the slumbering ghost. She didn't budge or anything as her soft breathing was your only response. She had fallen asleep shortly after Yukari had left, apparently enjoying your warmth a little too much. Leaving you in this awkward situation. 

"Mmm... So warm..." She talked in her sleep. She then snuggled herself into your chest, making you sigh. You were going to attempt at removing her when the door to the room opened. You looked over and locked eyes with a white hair girl with blue eyes.

She was holding food in her hand as she looked surprised at what you guess was Yuyuko sleeping on your shoulder or possibly the mysterious person she was sleeping with

She was holding food in her hand as she looked surprised at what you guess was Yuyuko sleeping on your shoulder or possibly the mysterious person she was sleeping with. 

"Before you say anything, this is exactly what it looks like." You said as she put the food down on the Kotatsu. You grew nervous as she suddenly pulled a blade out and pointed it at you. "I'd rather you not point that at me. You see, I'm like a balloon, but instead of being filled with air, it's blood."

"Make any sudden movement or even touch Lady Yuyuko and you'll regret it." She said as you raised your hands into the air. 

"Or, we can talk like civilized people." You said, trying desperately to not play dodge the sword for the second time. Her gaze lingered on you as you slowly started to sweat from the thought of being stabbed, but to you relief she finally relented and put her sword away. She then took a seat on the other side of the Kotatsu. 

"Who are you, what are you doing here, and what are you doing with Lady Yuyuko sleeping on you?" She asked a barrage of questions.

"First, I'm (Y/N), or the Gensokyo wanderer as of late, as for what I'm doing here... hanging out I suppose." You answered. "And finally, she fell asleep while, in her words, 'enjoying my warmth.'" 

"I see." She said before breathing a tired sigh. "I'm sorry for threatening you then."

"It's fine, for as far as you know, I could have been some violent stranger." You smiled which she returned. "How about we start over? My name is (Y/N). Nice to meet ya."

"Nice to meet you too, (Y/N). The names Youmu Konpaku. I'm a gardener here." She said. That's when something came floating in through the door.

"What's that?" You asked, looking at the white cloud that was trailing behind Youmu. It floated up to you as you tried to touch it, just for your hand to go through it. "Huh? Is it a ghost or something?" You asked while repeatedly phasing your hand in and out of it.

"Ahhh! No, don't touch it! Please!" Youmu yelled as you turned to look at her beet red face. You looked at her then back to the white cloud looking thing. You then poked it as your finger went inside, making Youmu squirm. "I said don't touch it!"

"Why not? Is it a part of you or something?" You asked as she nodded her head.

"Yes, it is.  It's really sensitive so please don't touch it." She pleaded as you nodded and the cloud floated back to Youmu. She breathed a sigh of relief as you laughed at her.
