~~>Quests~~
>Relationships
>Catch Shou before she hurts herself

>~~What do you think this is? Some form of text-based adventure in which all your goals and objectives are clearly stated?~~
>You are Yukari Yakumo's shikigami. You draw a majority of your strength from her, and it is this strength that allows you to maintain your human form. In exchange for power, you are at Yukari's beck and call, though your duties normally don't involve much more than maintaining Yukari's works and carrying out basic chores.
>Chen is your shikigami. She draws strength from you, but your relationship is different to that between yourself and Yukari. Chen, though loyal, refuses to listen to you at times. In addition, she is rather unreliable and you tend not to have her perform many tasks for you for that reason.
>Yuyuko Saigyouji is the princess of the Netherworld and, more importantly, Yukari's friend. You do not see Yuyuko often but she knows you well enough through Yukari to call you by name, though you dare not do the same.
>Youmu Konpaku is Yuyuko's servant. The two of you have met on several occasions whilst fulfilling the whims of Yukari and Yuyuko. You suppose that you could consider yourself to be friends with Youmu.
>Byakuren Hijiri is the leader of a Buddhist faction that has recently moved into Mayohiga. Ichirin Kumoi, Minamitsu Murasa, and Nazrin are also members of this faction. You have not spoken much with these people.
>Shou Toramaru is another member of the Buddhist faction. She helped with your daily activities when you lacked one of your arms. As a result, the two of you have spent quite a lot of time together.
>Eirin Yagokoro is the doctor of Eientei, and the one that restored your arm. You know that Yukari highly dislikes her, along with the rest of the residents of Eientei.
>You continue to chase after Shou, calling out after her.
>Shou freezes when you call for her and slowly turns to face you. Even from a distance, you can see that her face is completely red.

> ~~Be someone cooler, like Yuuka. Who the hell likes foxes anyways?~~
> Why did Shou trip and spill tea on herself?
> "Calm yourself. There's no need for this running about."

>You're quite happy to be yourself. You're not entirely sure why you'd want to assume the role of someone else. Also, you feel like you should do something about these self-depreciating thoughts that invade you from time to time.
>You assume that it would be because she failed to maintain her balance whilst she was trying to get up to greet you, as well as Yukari and Chen, upon your return. You find the fact that Shou tripped to be rather odd, though. During your time with her, you hadn't seen her make a mistake.
>"It is rather difficult to do so in this situation."
>You can see Shou fidgeting a fair amount. This is quite unlike her.

~~>Bah, Yukari and Chen clearly love us and our fluffy tails. We're fine the way we are.~~
>How did we lose our arm in the first place anyway? Even without Yukari we're pretty badass after all.
>"Are you sure that you're all right? A small accident isn't cause for so much excitement."

>~~You are fine! You won't let those voices in your head tell you otherwise!~~
>Whilst some humans were attempting to loot Mayohiga, Chen fell for one of their tricks. You managed to get Chen out of harm's way, but lost your arm in the process.
>"It's not so much excitement as it is..."
>Shou turns around to face away from you. You can hear her taking a few deep breaths before she turns to face you once more. She looks at you right in your eyes.
>"I think that you are a beautiful person."
>"From the moment I saw you, I was fascinated by you, and so I took it upon myself to look after you, though you seemed not to appreciate the sentiment."
>"During your absence, I found my thoughts straying to you. I have never felt this way before."
>"When I embarrassed myself in front of yourself so, I knew not what to do."
>"I understand that we have not spent all that much time together but..."
>"That is why I wish to spend more time with you, to find out more about you."
>"I know that you may not share these feelings and I am also aware that you have your own duties to keep, so if you wish I will pretend as though we have never had this conversation."
>"But I wish for you to know my feelings. I apologize for any inconvenience I am causing you."

>Ah. We must remember to hunt down and dispose of such garbage when Gensokyo is restored to some order.
>WHAT
>What do we think of Shou?
>What is she talking about with the whole sentiment thing?
>No panicking.
>Has anyone ever confessed to us before?
>Have we even ever liked anyone that way?
>Do we currently like anyone that way?
>Consider the likelihood that mentally calling Yukari for help will actually help and not get us trolled.

>Revenge is on your list of things to do.
>You wish you had some tea in your mouth, just so that you could spit it out.
>She is a rather helpful person. She has a strong sense of justice, which is a trait you admire. The two of you did manage to get along quite well while you were together.
>You did make your displeasure at the fact that you required help quite apparent.
>You're not going to panic. You're going to think this over rationally. Not panicking. Nope. Not at all.
>Unless you count Chen telling you that she loves you, no.
>You have not.
>You do not. Or, at least, you don't think you do. Do you have someone you like that way?
>You would, personally, rather shave your tails than ask Yukari for help with something like this.

>"Um, well...."
>Well this is certainly out of left field.
>Right, our first time being confessed to. At least Yukari isn't around or we'd never hear the end of it
>Yukari must never hear of this
>Deep breath.
>"Despite the circumstances, we did get along fairly well and I can't say I disliked your company, but I'm not sure exactly where my feelings lie. Honestly, this is the first time anyone's ever confessed having feelings for me."
>"If you like, we can start out as friends and see where things go from there?"
>We will get through that comment without stuttering
>No blushing either.

>You weren't ready for this type of thing at all. And you are going to make sure that Yukari never finds out about this.
>You take a deep breath and somehow manage to speak without faltering.
>"I-I see..."
>Shou gives a rather forced laugh.
>"Do not concern yourself over it. If you are to, perhaps, reach a different answer at any time, please let me know."
>It feels rather awkward.

>You are Yukari Yakumo, and you have just left Byakuren with Chen.

>You consider what might have occurred between the two of them. They were on good terms before. You can't rule out the possibility of a fight, though to have one as soon as Ran returned from the hospital? Considering Shou blushing, perhaps something of the romantic nature had occurred?
