*********************************************************************************************************
Reimu, Mima and Suika were walking towards the Mountain.
Reimu had given in after being shook out of her bed for the third time.
Despite the earlier trouble the three of them were now happily chattering away.
"...and then the two Goddesses teamed up on you?" Suika inquired curiously.
"Well, no, I may be good, but two Goddesses at once, and I would still be asleep in their shrine. The two were tough enough on their own as is. And it had been an unusual large amount of people in my way this time anyways..."
"Ah come on Reimu, don't tell me that fighting an army of fairies, a kappa, two tengu, some miko, and five goddesses put a strain on you. Haven't you learned anything from me?" Mima taunts Reimu as she elbows the miko.
"What do you mean some miko?" Reimu looks at Mima with the eyes of a Tiger, ready to pounce its prey.
"Oh, nothing, nothing. <3"
"Look there is a hut over there!" Suika pointed at the general area in front of them, waving her hand around in her eternal drunken stupor. Neither Reimu nor Mima saw anything up ahead. Suika made a wavy, wavy beeline attempt to get to a large boulder, or so it seemed to the other two. They found their suspicions proven correct when she ran into it face first.
Reimu and Mima giggled a little and followed the little oni to the rock, stopping and blinking in surprise when part of the rock, right next to Suika opened up with a loud hiss, as a cloud of smoke billowed out, followed by Aya, Momiji and Nitori, all of them coughing.
The three of them stood in front of the door for a moment, coughing their lungs out as Reimu and Mima looked upon them with a mix of bemusement and curiosity, and Suika stared blankly at the rock wall in front of her, apparently ready to drift off into the realm of dreams.
"Have your heretic experiments come to a new terrible end, kappa?" Reimu pokes Nitori with her Gohei and smiles at her friendly.
Nitori looks at the newcomer and squeals in shock as she sees that the miko from the day before had come again to beat her to a ... oh she was being friendly, phew.
"Ms. Shameimaru had asked me to produce a substance that could work with her picture obtaining device, to make it flare up and produce a flashing light," Nitori explained, "But while I have achieved the flash, as you can see there are some complications..."
Reimu nodded having understood none of the techno babble Nitroi just spewed out. Mima peeled Suika off of the wall and stood her up straight, and Aya patted Momiji on the back, the latter still coughing up a storm.
"Anyways, I am gonna go back in now, I think I know now what I need to do..." Nitori moved to go back inside her house. "By the way, you three are welcome to join me in here, we Kappa are sworn friends of humans after all...a-and of course of onis too, Lady Ibuki." Suika grinned at Nitori.
"I am kinda interested in what is going on there..." Reimu contemplated, as she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Go on in Reimu. You may find it Heresy, but it can be quite amusing at times." Mima encouraged her. Reimu smiled at Mima, "OK then, lets' go." "Whooo!" Suika was happy. "Let's see the kappas mighty machines!"
Reimu and Suika moved towards the building. Suika went in after Nitori and Aya, but Reimu turned around and looked at the ghost. "Aren't you coming?"
"Heh, call me odd, but I don't feel quite comfortable with the idea of being inside a stone."
Reimu took another look at the building and realized what she meant. "Ah...well...uhm..."
"Don't worry about me honey, I am gonna take the air in a bit...also I see a little doggy over there to play with." Mima pointed at Momiji who had sat down on the ground and was trying to meditate.
Reimu looked over and shrugged. "It shouldn't be too long. See you later." And with those words Reimu went inside, and the door shut again, with a hiss.
Mima sneaked over to Momiji from behind, intend on having some fun with her new pet.
"I am a wolf, not a little doggy, human." Momiji knew exactly were Mima was, the Ghost's sneaking being no match for her keen senses. Mima, didn't care, and crapped a hold of the tengu's tail, and started rubbing it.
"Eeek!" Momiji hadn't seen that coming, jumped up, spun around, and punched Mima square in the face, sending her flying. "Don't do that! ...oh, wait, did I just kill her?!"
About a mile away, through a path of mowed down trees, Mima rose from the debris of her flight. She snickered. Having a tengu for an opponent for a change should be fun. She materialized her staff, dissolved her lower body and flew back at the Wolf tengu at full speed.
Momiji saw that Mima was not only fine, but that she was far from human. The grin on the ghosts face and the large staff with the moon ornament at the top told her that she was ready to have some fun. Momiji smirked and decided to indulge the spirit, readying her shield. She was confident that her sword would not be necessary.
Mima was bemused. She was flying around Momiji, circling her, repeatedly battering her shield with strikes from her staff. She didn't feel like using magic. She wanted a good brawl, like this. And so far Momiji looked like she was getting mildly bored. She deflected all blows without any effort. Mima grinned, and in her next attack, she put in some effort of her own.
Momiji tried to catch her breath. The attacks so far had been nearly harmless, barely worth her attention, but that last blow knocked her shield into her chest, and the wind out of her lungs. She got up from the floor, smirked and drew her sword.
"So, you do have a bit of strength in you after all." Momiji enjoyed this now too. The other day she couldn't bring herself to fight at full strength, what with the idea of being simply overlorded by some new comers. This time she would let out what she had held in then. She started swinging her sword, with far more grace than one could expect from a blade such as hers.
Mima found herself hardpressed for the defense now. She was glad her staff was a magical construct and essentially unbreakable, but the barrage of sword strikes coming from the wolf worried her now, a little. Reimu had talked of her before, but had described her as merely a small fry. The spirit had no clue how strong Momiji's danmaku was, but her melee sure as hell was powerful and fast. Mima smirked, she wasn't down for the count yet.
Momiji started sweating. She was pouring a lot more than usual she had into this battle, which was a lot even by tengu standards. She was their main guardian after all. Yet somehow that creature in front of her was neither afraid, nor starting to show signs of weakness. Momiji smirked, this battle would carry on for a bit.
One thunderous clash of weapons later, the two of them separated, and looked at each other, recapturing their breath.
"I am Inubashiri Momiji, guardian of the Youkai Mountain, and champion of the Wolf tengu. It is an honor to face you in this duel, even if your manners seem to lack a little."
"Fufufufu, I am the great Mima, acting Deity of the Hakurei Shrine, and I am here to make you my new pet."
"Don't be so sure of that. I shall see you banished with my next strike!" Momiji was annoyed now, and ready a major slash. "White Fangs...'Impeccable Precision Sure-Kill!'"
Mima also went into a ready stance, having gotten Momiji just where she wanted her. Her staff started glowing with a golden Aura. "Tapping into the Sun 'Twilight Breaker!'"
Both of them charged at each other.

***********************************************************************************
The ground trembled.
The air was filled with a thunderous roar.
A bright light, blinded any eyes looking upon it.
Momiji and Mima had been thrown back by something that had apparently crept up on the two. They shielded their eyes from the light and then looked upon what had stopped their assaults.
They gazed first, upon a hole in the ground where Nitori's abode had been, and then upon what stood above the hole. A humongous construct of steel and wood, with steam spewing out in select parts stood before them, eyes and mouth glowing red, as it stared back at them.
The two minuscule figures could hear screams. They could see that the giant construct was holding Aya, Reimu and Nitori, all of them yelling for help. It held Suika too, but she had either fainted, or fallen asleep.
"Drat!" The two of them said in unison. This looked like kappa construct, which usually were fairly resistant to magic. They'd have to give their best trying to take it apart with physical attacks.
"Are you ready to kick some tin ass?" Momiji shouted at Mima.
"Now you're speaking my language, girl, let's tear it up!"
"OK! Transform, White Wolf!" "Blue Shrimp!" Momiji looked at Mima, who simply shrugged as both of them were enveloped in a blindingly white light.
They both flew straight at the fists of the giant, trying to crack them open with attacks. Their weapons are easily repelled by the material the fists are made of. Some sort of metal, but neither Mima nor Momiji knew what it was. They knew it was hard so, as both of them were punched hard, and send flying, with their friends screams in their ears.
"OK, any plans, Ms Inubashiri?" "Suddenly we are being polite, hm? I got nothing...maybe the eyes are a weakspot. What the hell is that thing anyways?" "No bloody clue, but let's have giant eyeballs for dinner!"
The two flew full speed at the giant robot, and saw the thing's eyes and mouth glow more intensely for a short moment, before seeing a humongous red beam fly at them...which both dodged with ease. A second later they were beating on the head, and found that the eyes and mouth were covered in something like glass, that let the beam through, but didn't even get a scratch from their attacks.
"How are we supposed to do anything to this...those blasted Kappa did a good job!" Momiji was dumbfounded. Nitori yelled a quick thank you at her before continuing to scream in terror.
Mima instead heard Reimu yelling. Not in fear, but in anger. "Wake up you dumb oni, wake up!"
She looked over to the oni in the other hand yawning now, and then looking up boredly at the robot.
******************************************************************************************
Reimu, Aya, Mima, and Momiji looked at a slightly mutilated Nitori.
"I swear, I didn't think it was capable of movement yet, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
Reimu sighs: At least Suika woke up and crushed that thing for us."
Aya looked happy: "That is gonna be one big scoop. Another victory for Bunbunmaru!"
"Why did you built that giant thing anyways?" Reimu asked Nitori.
"Oh, Lady Moriya wanted one for her miko, so I said, sure, I'll build one. She provided me with materials and everything."
Reimu was steaming and stomped off towards the shrine on top of the mountain, Aya right behind her, sensing another scoop.
Mima and Momiji looked at each other, and both blushed a little.
"Thanks for the duel today, Lady Mi-mm?" Momiji was cut short when Mima had come close and had gone for the kiss.
In the meanwhile Suika, still giant lifted up her gourd, and yelled "Pink Oni!"
**********************************************************************************************
Nitori turned off the TV and stood back looking timid next to Koishi who stood tall with pride swollen chest. Her partner Aya looked no less confident as well.
Reimu and Sanae were giggling at how silly the show was they had just seen. Aya had done a great job illustrating things, but the story was so bad, it was funny.
The other two spectators were more blank in their expressions. Kanako and Suwako didn't know where to begin with pointing out bad things. The Hisoutensoku didn't march until last month, Suwako had not been visible on the first day even, and everything else just plain...
"So, what do you guys think? Can we count on you for financial support to air the show all over Gensokyo and produce more episodes?" Koishi was beaming at her audience, and delighted by the reactions of the mikos. She couldn't believe how lucky she had been to see that the legendary shrine maiden herself was here at the time and willing to go watch this.
Suwako and Kanako both thought "HELL NO!" but looking at how Sanae apparently enjoyed it, they both sighed and nodded reluctantly. Nitori blinked surprised and the smile in her face now grew to the same proportions as that of the illustrator and story writer, Aya and Koishi respectively. And she would get a chance to sell lots of TV sets.
"It was amusing, but I will have to go now. And sorry, but I can't finance anything. I need to survive myself too, you know?" Reimu got up and bowed to everyone, the three members of Gensokyo's first Anime circle looking a little downed at not getting help from *the* Gensokyo shrine maiden...but they had support from the Gods, and that would surely help them.
Reimu shook her head as she left the shrine. Mima going for a small fry tengu like Momiji. That wasn't going to happen. She chuckled.
*****************************************************************************************
Reimu woke up in the middle of the night. She had heard something. The first thing she saw was Suika, sitting up with her blanket wrapped around her, her cheeks flushed more than usual, and some conspicuous movement underneath the blanket.
"W-" "Ssh." Reimu wanted to ask what Suika was doing, but she interrupted her, grinning only more and pointing behind Reimu. Reimu turned over, and was shocked by what she saw. There, were Mima usually slept, a white wolf tail was hanging out from underneath the blanket, under which two people were moving...
********************************************************************************************
Momiji Inubashiri and Mima, two very different characters, find, that soon, what had been unknown to all but them, will become an accidental secret revealed. For, if there is one place, where no secret is ever truly safe... it's the Twilight Spark Zone.
Next time on this show, we observe two members of a species most uncommon in Gensokyo, as we take a good look at the Anatomy of Businessmen.

OK, again, I am so, so sorry.
I had so many cheesiness ideas for this, that it just went belly up halfway through...at least the story gives an excuse...=p
