Just a little place where I intend to put the little stories that come to my mind. Starting off with one that came to me while I was playing Hisoutensoku:

-----

Dammit!

Sanae leapt back as the amulets hit the ground, annihilating the mound on which she'd been standing. Reimu had her playing keepaway, and she was too experienced to give her an opening.

"What's the matter? Don't tell me the proud priestess of the Moriya Shrine is running away!"

Reimu threw a jibe at Sanae along with another wave of amulets. The green-haired miko dove behind a rock, the explosion beside her covering her robes in dust. She wasn't going to have a chance fighting like this - Reimu was just too strong.

But still...I can't afford to lose here. Kanako-sama and Suwako-chan would never let me hear the end of it...

"Come on, grow a backbone and stand up! Or if you want to give up, just say so and I'll let you go~"

Reimu spoke with complete confidence, a set of needles firmly held between her fingers, ready to pierce Sanae as soon as she stood up. She hadn't even been challenged - taking the first opening she'd seen, Reimu hadn't been so much as attacked for the remainder of the fight.

This is it...isn't it?

Mentally Sanae was losing the will to fight. All she was going to do from now on was delay the inevitable, and she wasn't going to take a beating for no reason. She was on the verge of accepting Reimu's offer when another voice jumped into her head.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! You thought you could handle something like this on your own?!"

K-Kanako-sama!?

Her deity's voice rang in her ears, filled with indignation. Behind it trailed a younger, more cheerful one, which Sanae was more than pleased to pay more attention to.

"Sanae-chan, don't forget that we can help as well. A god's a miko's best weapon, right?"

She could feel them beside her, immaterial but definitely there. Their presence alone was enough to shake the fear from Sanae's heart, the strength she needed rising up again within her.

"T-Thank you, both of you! I'll...I'll do my best!"

Reimu could only hear Sanae talking to herself, and hesitated as her opponent stood up. There was a moment of silence as Sanae walked out from behind the rock, making no effort to defend herself.

"Well, I don't hear you say you're giving up, so I guess you've just lost it. I'll make this quick."

Reimu effortlessly flung the needles at Sanae, expecting at least a quick knockout if not an actual kill. She wondered briefly why Sanae refused to move.

My gods are watching over me...they won't let me down, I know it.

A new confidence ran in Sanae, and she stared Reimu down as the needles approached. She wasn't sure what would stop them, but she knew for sure that they'd never hit their target.

She had faith.

"What the-!?"

Almost instantly a water bubble had appeared in front of Sanae, Suwako chanting an incantation from within. The needles pierced the bubble and immediately lost all momentum, sinking to the bottom uselessly. Reimu looked on with an expression mixing shock and awe, as Sanae took the opportunity to step forward.

"See, Reimu? THIS is the difference between us!"

She charged at Reimu, raising her fist to begin a strike. As she ran she became aware of another person standing beside her, and looking away for an instant she saw Kanako, as proud and ambitious as ever, copying her motions exactly. Their opponent was frozen in place - she may have been able to dodge one attack, but not two at once.

""WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, REIMU HAKUREI!?""

Sanae and Kanako screamed out in unity as both fists hit their mark. Reimu was knocked backwards into the mountain base behind her, hitting the rock with a crash which every youkai in a five-mile radius could hear. Needless to say she was out cold, and had left an impressive miko-shaped hole in the stone. Kanako murmured something to herself about suing Hakurei for damaging her mountain as Sanae fell to her knees in triumph.

"I...I did it! Kanako-sama, I did it!"

She turned around to get the approval of her second deity.

"Suwako-chan, I di-"

She quickly became aware that Suwako couldn't answer her. She was stuck in the bubble of water she'd made earlier, her cheeks bulging as she flailed around comically without moving an inch.

"S-Suwako-chan!?"

Sanae dashed up to the bubble to heave Suwako out. Kanako simply facepalmed.

"...See, it's stupid crap like this that lost her her shrine in the first place..."

-----

It sort of started with a mental image of Suwako stuck in the bubble with a >_< face, and somehow it expanded into a short with GDLK PUNCHING. Guess that's how it works sometimes. >_>

That was my favorite line.
Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin:
Same here. XD

Generally awesome on the whole, though.
FinnKaenbyou:
There wasn't a single member of the Yakumo residence that didn't dread this ritual.

Ran and Yukari always did what they could to ignore the problem for as long as possible, but the longer they left it the worse it got. After so long it simply became a matter of which of the two would snap first. Most often it was Ran, her fox-like nose unable to bear the growing stench.

"...It's simply too much to handle. We need to do something about it."

They made a deliberate effort to never discuss it in Chen's presence, simply because even suggesting the solution was enough to make every hair in her body stand on end. Their complaints were silent. Their plan of action...less so.

They would always wait until dawn to strike, when Chen was lying fast asleep in bed. Just the sight of her resting peacefully like that, purring softly as she dreamt was enough to leave Ran with second thoughts about what they were doing. She whispered a complaint to her mistress, careful not to awaken the sleeping cat.

"Yukari-sama, maybe we shouldn't go through with this. Chen's happy enough as is, we shouldn't-"

Yukari brushed her shikigami's complaints away with a brush of her hand.

"Ran, someday I swear I WILL teach you to look out for your own interests ahead of your servant's. And it's not like I enjoy this either, but it's for her own good."

"M-My apologies, Yukari-sama."

Ran bowed her head in shame. Yukari placed her hand on the fox's shoulder, silently forgiving her.

"Alright then, let's try and be quiet about this. If she wakes up now it'll be disastrous for both of us, understand?"

Ran nodded, shutting up completely. The head of the Yakumo family clicked her fingers once.

"...Boundary of Cover and Exposure."

Even saying it brought a weary tone to Yukari's voice, her guilt obvious. Chen's pyjamas undid themselves neatly, folding into a tidy-looking pile at the side of her bed.

"Alright, let's move. She'll probably wake up as soon as we move her, so be ready to hold her down until she relaxes."

Yukari strolled out, doing her best to feign that she didn't care. Ran looked back once at her shikigami, probably dreaming about catching mice or becoming the Princess of the Cats or something. It was a peaceful slumber that she didn't want to break.

But still...I have no choice. I'm sorry, Chen...

---

She was prancing around a flower field, pouncing at the endless army of butterflies that landed around her. It was a simple but incredibly entertaining dream.

"Here I come, butterfly. Let's see you get away from me~!"

She leapt into the air, aiming at a single golden butterfly landing on a daffodil. It made no attempt to escape, and she was already set to catch it.

She missed the flower, and missed the ground as well.

"Nyaa!?"

The dream came to an end quickly as she jolted awake. Falling in your sleep is a common occurance, but for most people the experience isn't literal. Looking up, she saw herself surrounded by a sea of purple, eyes looking down upon her from all sides. It wasn't a sight she didn't recognise, but straight after a dream it could only mean one thing.

"Not agaaiiiiii-"

Chen's cry was cut short as she emerged from the other side of the gap, falling from the ceiling of a room in her own house. She didn't even need to look around to know where she was.

But I don't wanna have a baaath~!
Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin:
XD

I kind of saw the punchline coming as soon as it got to the bit about Ran's nose, but it was still good.
