>"Did Yukari say why or anything? Or did she just zap you up here and then run off giggling?"

>"Not... at first." Yogan answers, her voice rather small. "I actually didn't see her for about two months after she brought me to Mayohiga. I didn't even know it was her that had done it, until Kasoku-san told me it was her. But I did meet her, eventually, when she... uh, well, sort of gapped me into her living room."

>"Go on. And when was this living room visit?"

>"Oh... Maybe, two years ago? I'd been in Mayohiga for about four months at that point."
>"I was actually kinda scared, at first. I mean, I'd heard.... All kinds of things about Yukari-san. You've heard of her, too, haven't you, Reporter-san?"

>"Oh I've heard some things, alright!"

>"But she was really nice." Yogan informs you. "She wanted to know how I'd been doing since she brought me to Mayohiga, and her shikigami Ran-san served us some very nice tea and cookies. And I met Chen-chan, and she and I got along really well! Ran-san even taught me a bit of danmaku."

>"Well... I asked, but, I don't think I understood her answer. She's a lot smarter than me."

>"But what you're saying, essentially, is that she kidnapped you. Have you been able to get back home since then?"

>"No.... But, I didn't really want to. I wasn't... Well, very happy, living underground. I wanted... I wanted to see the sun." she states, her eyes brightening at the thought. "Clouds, birds, butterflies. The Underworld doesn't have anything like that. And... Well... The Oni kind of scare me. I'm really much happier in the Overworld here."

>"Not... really, no. I didn't have any friends, and I don't have any family at all." She turns her face slightly up towards the winter sky. "I've often thought it'd be nice, though. To have someone to call 'sister', 'brother', 'mother'..."

>"I didn't actually own that much, before. I lived in a little cave near the magma flow that I was born from. And you can't keep too much near open magma, it's too hot."

>Despite yourself, you feel a momentary pang of sympathy for this pretty young soft-spoken youkai, as she talks about her rather minimalistic home life underground.
>"Oh, yes." she says with a happy nod. "The youkai there took good care of me. They told me Yukari-san does this now and then, so they're used to it. They gave me a little place of my own, so I could get used to Mayohiga, but there was always someone around to make sure I wasn't hungry or lonely." The bashful youkai smiles a beautiful smile. "Surface youkai aren't as scary as Underworld youkai."

>"Ohh. Was I supposed to have?" Yogan asks, sounding like a kid who forgot her homework.

>"Huh. Free ride, then. So what did you do around there instead?"

>"Well, I took a job as a waitress after I'd gotten used to being in Mayohiga. Kasoku-san was one of the youkai who'd looked after me the most, and she thought I'd like the job. So I took it, and I did." She pauses, and flushes faintly. "Once I.. got used to being around all those people. I... used to have trouble, with crowds."

>"It took some time to get used to be around that many people, but they were really friendly. They used to say they liked my singing. I've always loved music, so, I used to sing to myself. All the time, really." she adds, trying to shrink her head into her shoulders.

>"Well-"
>"That's where I come in." Daliah announces, tromping over to the much smaller Yogan. "Gimme my jacket, kid, 's cold out here."
>"Yes, boss." Yogan answers meekly, handing over the article in question.
>"Thanks." Donning her finely-tailored jacket, Daliha explains, "The kid here got herself a regular show at the Turbo- that was where she worked, don't ya know. And that's where I saw here, after I drifted into town a while back." Daliha throws her thick arm across the slim shoulders of the red-headed youkai. "I knew right from my first look at her that this girl was somethin'. Didn't I, kid?"
>"Um, so you said, boss." Yogan mutters.
>"That's what I said, and I meant it!"

>"Mostly out west." Daliah informs you. "Little youkai and human villages out there, the odd hermit. That's not hermit-hermit, mind, I mean the oddball that lives stuck out in the middle of nowhere. Think our biggest show was down in Rainwall, that about right, kid? Of course it is!" The bombastic youkai thunders before Yogan can answer. "That's where I picked up those three, too." Daliah adds with a nod to the three Kappa, the spectacled one still being teased by the other two. "I know a good band as much as a good voice, yes sir."
leans forward towards you a bit. "Tell ya the truth, tengu, I've sort of been easing the kid here into this part of Gensokyo. This is Hakurei territory, and I'm a lot of things, but Daliah D. De la Vega's no fool. That shrine maiden ain't one to stumble blindly across."
