>Pause, then get a look of realization.
>"We'll take her hat...And turn it inside-out!"

> Everyone looks at you in awe like you are a genius.

> Wriggle lifts the hat and then jumps back, with it in her hands.

> "She's bleeding! She's not sleeping, she's out cold!" Wriggle shouts.

> "You sure this isn't just Sakuya punishing her for sleeping?" Mystcia says.

> "That's not a knife wound." Wriggle says.

> "The lock on the gate seems to be broken too." Lilly comments.

> "China dosen't even bother with Marisa, and she dosen't bother with the gate, so it can't be her!" Mystcia comments.

> Wriggle, Mystcia, and Lilly do as you say. So you go in. Then you remember Daiyousei was with you too, and is following you.

> Normally as soon as you go past the gate or walls of the SDM you get knocked out by a load of knives. This has not happened.

> The front door is open.

> You see some impacts on the ground, it looks like Meiling put up a struggle, and was left in her usual spot by the attacker, so as not to arouse suspicion.

>Enter and look around.

> You enter the mansion, and it's clear there has been a fight. Statues and pots of plants have been knocked over, the crimson carpet on the floor is torn, and it generally looks a mess.

> You see a fairy wearing a maid outfit hiding behind a fallen statue. She isn't hiding particually well, but is clearly hiding.

> Daiyousei looks around, having not spotted the fairy maid, and then notices where she is, and flies over.

> "You OK?" she asks.

> The fairy shakes her head. It's at this point you notice one of her wings is torn. She must have got caught up in the fight.

>Let's leave this to Dai for now, we're probably too formidable for the little one right now.

> Daiyousei floats over to the fairy, and pat's it's head. The fairy starts to look calmer, although you're not sure if this is Daiyousei's power or the power of patting heads. After all, you calmed Okku down doing the same.

> "What's going on here?" Daiyousei asked.

> "I-I-I was taking some tea to Mistress Knowledge... when suddenly I saw Mistress Izanoi fighting things I don't recognise. A stray knife hit my wing, so I hid. All I know is they went towards the library... I think Mistress Izanoi was planning to lure them away from Mistress Scarlet, and towards Mistress Knowledge and Mistress Koakuma..." the fairy says, before adding, "They were making Mistress Izanoi sweat... that's something I've never seen."

> The two fairies leave the mansion, but not before the maid points the way to the Library.

> You go there, and the signs, and sounds, of battle get stronger and louder.

> You reach a broken-down, massive double-door, with several knives in it. Going through it, you enter a massive library, the number of bookshelves is staggering.

> As are the amount of them knocked over, the smoldering fires, and the knives.

> You cannot see Sakuya, but you do see, lying on the ground, a red-haired thing wearing something similar to you.

> You help her up. She looks like she's taken a few nasty blows, but nothing serious, she probobly got knocked into a bookcase and got knocked out.

> "Am I dead? You look like Makai fashion. I shouldn't be there unless I died in Gensokyo." the being says.

> You guess from this comment, this is the devil that Alice said you looked like.

Koakuma
The Demon contracted to the Devil's Freind

>Point to the ribbon. "See this? It's sealing up the old me. Kinda hard to make friends when all you think about is craziness and killing."

> "As much as I hate to say it... I was told to run away and get Mistress Scarlet, and tell her a message." Koakuma says. "I'm not very powerful at all, the attackers just knocked me into a bookshelf and then... here I am. I'd rather be helping Mistress Patchouli directly, but she ordered me to do this."

> "Also, when you see Mistress... run. She won't be happy... and you may be collateral damage... oh Mistress Patchouli's gonna lose a lot of books......" Koakuma flies out of the library, not in a perfectly streight line, but still, she's airborne.

> You move deeper into the library. Your first sign of the fight is a knife flying past you, followed by a blast of flame, in an area cleared of books.

> You see Sakuya, and a figure you have not seen before, who is doubled over, coughing. Sakuya is protecting her.

Patchouli Knowledge
Frail Girl of Seven Elements

Sakuya Izanoi
Gensokyo's most Dangerous Maid

> The attackers are... rabbits? There are three of them, and they are all dressed like Reisen, with similar ears. They do look different enough to her to not be mistaken for her, however.

>Let's set to bombarding the rabbits with some dark energy shots!
>"You guys look like you could use some backup!"

> You fire some orbs of dark energy at the rabbits, who fly upwards to evade. Sakuya, however, throws one knife at each orb, causing them to detonate before the rabbits are completely out of their range, knocking them around a little, but otherwise acheiveing nothing.

> The Magician stops coughing. She dosen't seem injured, but dosn't seem healthy. Sakuya, on the other hand, seems like she's been through the wringer, and is in a far worse state than the three rabbits, who, while injured, are not wounded badly.

> There is, however, a fourth rabbit on the ground, with several knives in her.

> "It's 3 against 3 now Sarge!" says one of the rabbits.

> "Well, then you know what to do!" says a rabbit with blonde hair, and a rabbit-shaped pin in it.

> The three rabbits each stand in front of a target. The one called 'Sarge' stands in front of Sakuya, another stands in front of the Magician, and the last, the one who stated it was three on three, stands in front of you.

> "You an' me! I'm you're foe!" the rabbit says.

> "They're not using danmaku!" Sakuya warns. "So don't feel obliged to restrict yourself by danmaku either!"

> You can't create enough orbs to manage that, but you form some anyway as mines.

> You drop the light levels. You see the rabbit's red eyes light up and glow, but you don't feel funny, like Reisen made you, so you guess she has different powers.

> You cannot sustain the dark orb mines and create more at once. You either have to use them to attack, or to defend.
