Magi-Borne (A Touhou Project Fanfiction)

Eientei Clinic

I slowly open my eyes, waking up from my slumber. I try to move every muscle in my body, which seems to be hurting as hell... What in the world happened?

As my vision clears out, I find myself lying on a bed, with a table on which there were medicine of all sorts on top of it.

I looked around slowly, and try to remember what happened.

I could only remember going to the manor this morning to steal a book from Patchy's library like usual, brought it home and opening it... The rest, I don't know. How did I end up in a patient's room?

Hearing a click from the door, my body tensed, as I gripped on my blanket even harder. My broom and the mini-hakkero is nowhere to be seen.

The door creaked open, as I widen my eyes to see... One of the rabbit Youkai who lived here. She wears a pinkish dress, had short black hair and has a pair of rabbit ears on top of her head.

"My God, Tewi! You just gave me a heart attack, I just woke up, ze!"

"Well, you're gonna have more heart attacks if you go outside Eientei. Gensokyo, it's in chaos."

"Wait, what? Explain to me."

"Well, me and the other rabbits here at Eientei were minding our own business, until suddenly some blood red cloud covered the skies. We then noticed the humans becoming crazy after breathing the cloud."

"Crazy?"

"Well, they nearly caught some of my rabbits to be skewered. The Myouren Temple is sealed off, according to Reisen who came back earlier before you woke up."

"Sealed off? Why would Hijiri do that?"

"Even she couldn't stop this strange incident. The humans are becoming aggressive towards non-humans, especially magicians like you and Hijiri. One came to Eirin-Sama to ask if we're hiding any magicians, and we managed to drive him off without bloodshed. Heck, he even brought a pitchfork and pointed it at her."

"But she's immortal right? She could handle a guy easily."

"Well, there are still live rabbits here, not just Youkai rabbits. You must not stay here for long, Kirisame Marisa."

"Yeah yeah, spare me the whole dramatic dialogues, by the way where's my clothes?"

I asked, as I see that I am wearing a rather light and thin gown, not my usual black-and-white outfit and my iconic hat.

"They're in the laundry room, here's the key. And before you ask, your weapons are there as well."

I take my time to get off the bed, nearly stumbling over as my feet hit the floor.

"Guess I'm not really fine by now."

"Here, take this."

I looked over to see Tewi handing me a syringe.

"What the hell's this, ze?"

"Eientei Blood vial. It purifies the blood it sucked and here's the needle."

Great, I hate needles but nevertheless I need it right now.

"When we found you, you somehow lost a lot of blood even though we didn't see any splatters. Seeing as your body is lacking it by now, I recommend you use the vial right now."

I looked at the strange syringe on my hand, and I sighed as I planted the needle on it.

"Whatever it takes."

Slowly, I injected the syringe's contents into my bloodstream, the needle piercing my left wrist. I can feel the life going back to me as of now.

"Alright, now I'm back."

"Good. Good for you, and good luck out there. The humans are not really friendly as of now."

I walked out of the room, looked at a map on the wall and walked over to where the laundry room is. It took several turns until I managed to hear the sounds of washing machines. They must've got them from the Kappa again.

I inserted the key into the door's keyhole and turned it. A click sound is heard, and I am able to open the door.

My clothes lay on a table in front of me, along with my broom and mini-hakkero.

Wasting no time, I put them on, and looked at myself on the mirror... Am I ever this pale before? My skin looked like it hasn't seen the sun in days.

Shrugging it off, I walked out of the room, and after memorizing the map and more walking I found myself at the front entrance. I slid the door open and went out.
