The Madness of Yuka Kazami?
Mima:
Chapter 11
?Haru??
The familiar sleepy voice of Yuka brought me back into the world of the conscious.
?Haru? Wake up??
I struggled to wake myself up and was forced to use all of my willpower to open my eyes. Upon doing so I was greeted by the, for lack of a better word, adorable face of Yuka having just woke up herself.
?What? what?s the matter, Yuka?? I mumbled.
?There?s someone here?? She sleepily slurred. ?It?s? it?s??
?It?s what?? I sighed.
?I can?t remember?? Yuka fell back onto her pillow, prompting me to do the same.
?No? no? We need to get up!? Yuka weakly pushed me.
I dragged myself up, discard the youkai that was, as usual, hanging off me. ?This had better be worth it.? I ended with a yawn.
Yuka nodded and flew out of bed. Not that I blame her, she?s not very stable at all when she first wakes up and would have probably just fell on the floor face first; not that there?s a floor to fall on in this empty, star filled room per se.
I drifted out of the bedroom leaving Yuka behind and headed towards my old room to get changed; my mind barely functioning and trying to guess who she meant had arrived, presumably in Mugenkan.
It didn?t take me long to get changed and by the time I had left my room I could overhear Yuka and someone else, someone who I had never heard before talking casually.
Unfortunately by the time I had walked down the corridor and made it to the stairs the conversation had already ended and Yuka was shutting the door as the mystery guest was walking away. The only things I could make out of her was that she had blonde hair, an ordinary pink summer hat, equally coloured clothes and a purple neck scarf loosely wrapped around her neck.
?She?s gone already? Who was that?? I called down the stairs to Yuka, who was just turned around to look at me.
?Oh, she?s just an old acquaintance.? She shrugged; her personality back to normal. ?She was here to deliver a letter.?
?That?s it? You woke me up and made me get dressed so we could get a letter?? I sighed.
Yuka tapped her foot. ?I didn?t know, did I? Anyway, the content of the letter was worth waking up for.?
?Well, what does it say?? I asked, eagerly.
Yuka grinned. ?In short? We?re going on holiday.?
?W-what?? I stuttered. ?Where? Was she sent by Reimu or something??
Yuka shook her head. ?No, no. She?s a demon. Anyway, have a read for yourself.?
Taking the letter from the youkai, I quickly scanned through the letter.
Dear Yuka.
How are you? We?re doing great here in Makai, we?ve just finished a refurbishment project that?s been going since I saw you last, at that party. My apologies for not visiting you since then, I felt so guilty leaving you after you lost your pet human like you did but the gateway between Gensokyo and Makai has had to be sealed for all this time for dimensional stability. Ah, the worries of being a goddess of my own realm!
Anyway, now that work is done and traffic in and out of Makai is back to normal, I?d love for you to come along and stay in Makai for a while so we can catch up on old times and maybe even have that rematch we said we?d have! Bring along a friend if you want, (or have any! Hahaha!) but don?t ask the others because they?ll have received this letter too.
Oh yes, I should also add that the entryway to Makai has had to be moved. We now have a proper entrance rather than that silly little magic circle located underground, just east of a place the locals call the Palace of the Earth Spirits, I presume you know where that is.
I hope to see you really soon.
Love from your dear friend.
Shinki.
?Shinki??? I commented. ?She was that silver haired woman, right? Alice?s mother I think??
Yuka nodded. ?Good memory. Yes. We?ve only met a few times but she?s a good friend.?
?So, she?s the goddess of Makai? I presume you beat her in a fight then by the sounds of this rematch??
Yuka nodded and walked past me towards one of the stairways. ?Oh yes. Not that we had a chance of losing, it was Reimu, Marisa, Mima and more importantly myself all against her.? She bragged.
?Sounds a bit odd that it?s taken over thirty years to do some ?refurbishment??? I asked.
Yuka sneered. ?She said refurbishment but she meant that she pretty much destroyed Makai from her own firepower. She?s probably had to remake the entire world or something.?
?Sounds like it was a pretty crazy fight?? I mumbled.
?Oh, it was quite fun.? Yuka chirped.
Yuka hopped up half the stairs and turned to face me. ?But this time, we can call it a holiday! Go and pack your stuff, I want to leave soon.?
?You?re eager.? I thought out loud. ?Do I have a suitcase or what??
?It?s already in your room!? The youkai sung as she finished climbing the stairs and vanished from sight.
With a sigh I made my way upstairs and back into the room I had just emerged from. Curiously, a small blue plaid suitcase, which looked very similar to my clothing, was sat on my old bed.
Let me guess, Yuka has a suitcase identical to this except red?
Fortunately it didn?t take me long to throw a few sets of clothing into the case and return back into the main hall where already, predictably, Yuka was stood waiting.
I will never discover how she is so fast.
Since it was the winter months, Yuka?s hair was trailing down behind her back compared to her usual shoulder length hair as well as her winter outfit which is pretty much identical to the normal one except that she traded her dress for trousers. Sat next to her, much to my surprise, was a red plaid suitcase.
Oh no, the shock. I never saw that coming.
?All ready?? The youkai chirped.
?As much as I?ll ever be.? I sighed again.
Yuka tapped her foot. ?Stop sounding so depressed.?
?Alright.? I sighed once more in defiance.
Yuka stared at me for a few seconds before picking up her case and opening the door. ?Well then, let?s go.?
I walked alongside Yuka as we marched down the flowery path. I wondered how long it?d take Yuka to pass me her case and tell me to start carrying it since it was inevitably going to happen at one point or another.
Yuka hummed in thought. ?I?d better tell Kikuri we?re going. She?ll get herself worked up in worry if we vanished.?
?How considerate.? I commented causing another piercing stare from the youkai.
Yuka lightly knocked on the door and a few seconds later Kikuri opened the door, wearing her usual purple clothes. ?Oh, good morning Miss Kazami and Haru! How can I help you??
?We?re just passing by to say we?re going on holiday for a few days, don?t get too panicky when we?re not around.? Yuka explained.
?Oh that sounds lovely! Have a nice time you two! Do you need anything doing while you?re away?? Kikuri smiled.
Yuka shrugged. ?You could make sure Elly is doing her job properly, otherwise the fairies will handle everything else.?
?I see?? Kikuri paused for a moment. ?Miss Kazami could I??
Yuka raised an eyebrow and nodded her head to try and force the rest of the sentence.
?Could I? please go into the mansion and use the games room while you?re gone? I mean if you don?t want me to then I won?t I just wondered if I could beca-? Kikuri started rambling.
As of late, Kikuri had gained quite a fascination with the various gadgets we had gained from the human world, it never seemed to have crossed her mind to get any of her own though.
?Stop talking.? Yuka ordered. ?Of course you can go in. Just water all my flowers and you can spend as much time in there as you want.?
?Oh? O-okay?? Kikuri stuttered before recouping. ?Well, please have a lovely time! I?d love to hear about it when you get back.?
I laughed slightly. ?Sure thing, Kikuri. See you later.?
Yuka and Kikuri traded similar farewells and we made our way further down the path. It wasn?t much longer before we approached Elly who was lying on the grass sunbathing, her scythe sitting close by. Yuka continued walking by as she spoke. ?We?re going on holiday for a few days; make sure no one burns the place down.?
?Sure thing, Miss Yuka. Have fun.? Elly casually replied, not exerting any energy more than necessary.
Of course, there was one more house between Elly?s and the portal and that was the scientists? house. Yuka was just about to knock on the door when a loud explosion crashed from the building.
?I think we?ll just leave them to it.? Yuka commented as she made for the portal.
?I can?t say I blame you.? I said, quickly following her.
As we left through the portal into Gensokyo I tried to map out a route in my head. From what I could figure we had quite a journey to go on, the underground entrance wasn?t too far away from the shrine and the Palace of the Earth Spirits was quite a distance from there. We?ll probably need a holiday just from all the travelling we?ll be doing but at least it would be worth it, I?m curious to see what Makai looks like.

Stand back!
I'm going to try...
SCIENCE!
Blackraptor:
I anticipate an All-Star Danmaku fest soon. Also looking forward to finally see how Reimu's little girl turned out and if Reimu now looks anything like her mom Sendai as shown here.
