Chapter 22:
I have run out of things to say this time?
So I shall leave you with a little rhyme?
My adventures so far have been enticing?
Let?s hope I don?t get pounded into icing?
?Please! Just do it for a little while!? asked Louise.
?No! I?ve been through that once already. I won?t do it again!? I spat at her.
?Just this once! For me!?
?Why do you need to stay here??
?I?m just interested. Like how you always said you were interested in certain things.?
?Louise, if you just hold him still, this would be easier.? Mugetsu chimed in.
?Not against my will, you ain?t!? I barked back.
The dolls just stared at this whole endeavor, not choosing to get involved. Soon enough, Louise tried pinning me to the floor. ?Is it really worth it to hide me here?!? I said. ?If sister finds out though, you could get seriously injured?? Mugetsu said to me? Well, I sort of had no choice, and Louise didn?t want to leave until she had her way? Eventually, I decided to sort of submit to what they wanted, but I told Louise to be ?extremely careful.? Mugetsu began to muster some power within her as Louise stood back. As soon as she was ready, an orb of light was fired at me?
I would say that I could have blacked out, but I decided not to and I shall not describe how it happened. I mean you could imagine it yourself as a reader. After it was over, Shanghai decided to come over to me before Louise and Mugetsu did. She stood right next to me and hugged me, to see if I was okay. Remember when I said Shanghai was 20 cm? I must be about 15 or even 10 cm, because Shanghai was significantly taller than I was? Yeah, I figure I was about three-quarters to two-thirds about her size because she had to slightly lean forward to kiss my forehead. This hug was abruptly ended short by Louise?s voice.
?Move, doll!? she said. Shanghai did exactly that; allowing Louise to kneel down to me. She extended her arm and hand, placing it on the ground for me to get on to it. Once I got on though, Louise immediately clasped her hand around me and brought me over to Mugetsu. She couldn?t contain herself from nuzzling me against her cheek. Mugetsu was elated that it worked, but I was still trying to remain conscious from all this moving around. ?Good,? Mugetsu said. The dolls were following along with this as Mugetsu guided all of us to another area? But as we were heading there, Mugetsu stopped us?
?Oh no? Sister is coming!? Mugetsu said.
?I?ll hid him good,? Louise said. But she looked at me, ?Where to?? she added.
?The hat please?? I spoke back.
?Aw, you are no fun?? she giggled back at me, and under the hat I went.
I heard sounds of landing and movement?
?Mugetsu, there was a disturbance with magic... What happened?? It sounded like Gengetsu?s voice.
?Nothing, sister.? Mugetsu replied.
?What the hell is she doing here?? Gengetsu spoke again.
?She?ll be fine. She?s harmless!?
?I said I wanted them out!?
?Please. Let me just stay for a while. I don?t know my way out!? Louise cut into the conversation, but she was much louder than the others.
?Wait?? Gengetsu said, ?There was another.?
?Well I got rid of him, sister. No worries.? Mugetsu tried to calm Gengetsu down.
?If you say so? just have her gone within a day or two??
?Alright sister~!?
And with that, it seemed Gengetsu was off. I assumed so because Louise pulled me out from underneath the hat within seconds and Mugetsu was leading us off again. But this time, Louise subconsciously shoved me in between her and her dress (that sling she wears on top? I don?t know; check her profile since I have no clue what that?s called) I guess she did not want to leave her hand out but wanted me in view. I looked up and she was smiling, ever so happily, eyes mostly closed.
?Couldn?t I just have ridden on one of my dolls?? I asked her. ?Well? you told me to be ?extremely careful? with you, so I suppose I should hold onto you most of the time.? The irony baffled me completely? It was kind of warm in there? enough for me to sleep for a while? How long have I been out of the world now? three months? Four? It doesn?t matter anymore? I?m safe? and that?s all?
Mugetsu finally brought us to a table. There were several chairs and a mat on the floor. Louise sat down in one of the chairs and Mugetsu in another? Shanghai and Hourai sat down on the table. Louise and Mugetsu began to talk to each other, but then Louise pulled me out of where I was and set me down on the table. Shanghai pulled me away into the center with Hourai. Hourai was sitting down in the center of the table, and Shanghai put me in Hourai?s lap. Again, I?m going to mention the incredible detail Alice made on these dolls?
While sitting in Hourai?s lap, she began to stroke my hair. It would be harder for her to get the knots out of my hair with as much accuracy as before. Hourai smiled though? and wrapped her arms around me. I still had no clue what Louise and Mugetsu were talking about to each other, but it sounded like they were talking about their origins to each other. I lost interest as Hourai rested her head on mine. It was adorable to look at. Whispering into my ear, Hourai wanted to talk to me personally about recent things?
?So about that goddess?? She whispered.
?None of your business,? I whispered back.
?Oh come on? you can tell me.? I began to notice that her voice sounded different, but the same as when I first met her. Maybe it?s the size difference?
?Why should I??
?When would you tell me?? Hourai began to swing her upper body back and forth, almost cradling me in her lap; head still nuzzled in mine.
?It is too perverted?? I whispered.
?Oh you can tell me. I have seen enough already.?
?I know that??
?Just say it??
?Well? it was rough??
?Rough as the one with that teacher??
?Sort of??
?You know?? Hourai tried to move onto a different topic, ?Alice made both Shanghai and I with great detail.? I looked into her eyes, ?I know that already.? She tried to avert her eyes from me, turning her head, ?We are more human than you think?? Trying to figure what she was saying, I pulled Hourai?s head back, ?Why are you acting like this? What are you implying?? She was leaning her head into mine, foreheads touching, ?I think you know what I mean??
At this point, Louise and Mugetsu took notice. ?Just tell me?? I said. But her response was kissing me on the cheek. Shanghai was still over on the other side of the table, laying back. Louise decided to cut into our conversation by asking, ?What are you two doing?? Hourai was blushing as the two stared at us. Since Hourai could not talk to Louise, I had to say something. ?Can we?? I began to ask, but Louise already figured by my halfalogue. ?If you are going to do it,? She began to take off her hat, ?Do it under this.?
Louise put the bowl part of the hat over us, but winking at me before doing so. ?And just be quiet, please?? Louise lastly said. We had to lie down because of the height of the hat. It soon became much warmer underneath it as Hourai was blushing at me still? Well? First thing was the usual kissing? but then the feeling was next? For a doll, she knew much about romance, I guess? Maybe she learned a lot from Alice? All I can say is?
Freud was right?
? ? ?
Hourai and I had fallen asleep underneath that hat, but she still held onto me. Louise soon removed the hat and some light began to shine on us. Shanghai was there, but she started to pry me off of Hourai. Hourai let go of me and Shanghai began to pull me towards Louise. ?Have you two enjoyed yourselves?? she asked. Standing up on the table, ?Sure?? Louise stood up from the chair and grabbed me off the table. ?We?re going soon, okay,? she said. ?Already?? I asked back. Shanghai and Hourai got up off the table and floated in the air, but Hourai was giving me a look.
Louise shoved me back into the same spot as before, as Mugetsu began to lead us out of the dream world and into Gensokyo. ?The magic should wear off after you leave,? she said. It took a while before we reached the ?exit?. But when we did, Mugetsu wanted to give one, probably last, goodbye to the both of us. She came close to Louise and hugged her, me sandwiched in the middle? eh? Mugetsu patted me on the head afterwards. She said that she hoped I would return again someday? yeah, someday?
I was taken out from my spot before we entered Gensokyo. Riding on Shanghai?s back, we began to leave the dream world. When we got to the outside, I felt a new sensation inside of me. I began to return to normal. Jumping off of Shanghai, I was returning to my normal size. Once that happened, Louise grabbed me and hugged me. ?We made it safe!? She said. Louise was ecstatic to be finally in Gensokyo. But before I could celebrate I heard someone?s voice?
?Glad to see you two back so soon.? We both turned to what was Sara, still guarding the gate to Makai. What was so strange about this was the fact that we returned in the same spot as I entered. Sara pointed this out to us, ?What? You thought there was more exits out of Gensokyo?? We both nodded our head. ?Well, there?s only the Border, Makai, and Higan. And that?s about it? Us door guarders need to know that.? I guess it was time for Louise to go as well, as she said, ?Well? I?m heading off.?
?What? You?re not going to stay with me?? I replied.
?Well of course not, silly!? She said, ?I was only with you just to not be alone.?
?Alright then? If you need me I?ll be out and about??
?Okay?? Louise came back over to me and tried to plant a kiss on my lips, but I turned my head so that it was on the cheek. She giggled and tried again, ?Oh please? Be a man?? And this time, I allowed it? Sara was still looking at both of us. Afterwards, Louise left off into the forest. I noticed that there was snow on the ground still? ?Is Louise your girlfriend or something?? Sara said. I said back, ?No? Just a friend.? Sara chuckled a little, ?Well? you if you need anything, or need to get back into Makai? just come back here.? She winked.
The dolls and I went off. Hourai was staying in close proximity of me, sitting on my shoulder. She seemed as happy as ever. I looked at Shanghai though? who had a pout on her face. She soon sat on my other shoulder. Sooner or later, the two of them were starring at each other. I had to cut in on this, ?Look, you two.? They both looked at me. ?Just because I had it with one of you does not give you either the right to be jealous okay?? Shanghai had to say something though, ?But it?s not fair!? She put on a scowl. ?Well if you had decided to move closer to the both of us, then you would have got some. It?s your own fault??
Shanghai remained quiet after this, and I promised her that if it happened again, then it would be her turn. (But I doubt this will happen again?) After the conversation had ended, I told the dolls that we would be heading back to that place labeled ?Mayohiga? and the house that was there. The dolls didn?t respond to me as we headed there?
Once we arrived there, it was still afternoon? So it seemed I had returned at a good time. But when I entered the area, the wind was quiet and all the snow was gone? The dolls hid behind me as I walked past the sign. There was no one around. All the minor houses looked empty and the small lake there was quiet? I tried opening some of the doors in the minor houses, but nothing worked. I attempted to call out for people, but nothing again.
When I arrived at the house, the door was wide open? Unusually, this door looked Western, like the one I had at home? I entered cautiously. Their house was an odd mix? It had a modern dishwasher? It had a ceiling fan? There was a computer sitting on a table (of course it had to be an NEC?) I was beginning to question my sanity when we were searching through the place. I came to a wide room. It was all quiet and empty in there, until I heard the door slam shut behind us.
I was almost literally scared out of my pants when I was there. I heard footsteps moving fast, but I still was too scared to move. I heard mumbling and the dolls were clutching me closely. But I saw a shadow, and it began to move rapidly. The shadow came closer to me and said?
?Fufufu? It?s nice to see you come so far?? The shadow was soon engulfed in dim light? I could finally see who it was? Yukari, cracking a wide smile on her face and those purple eyes glaring with intent? I felt so tempted to strangle her right there. ?Now, now. Don?t be so hasty,? She started to speak, ?Sit down.? Yukari pointed me to an armchair in her room. She seems to collect so many things from the outside world?
I sat down on the chair while Yukari placed herself in front of me. The room was terribly dark? ?So how goes your exploration?? she smirked. I was feeling less comfortable on the armchair. ?I see you?ve made some progress on yourself.? Yukari added, since I chose not to speak. I still wouldn?t respond and this was beginning to anger her. ?Say something!? she said. Now that she had her full attention on me, ?How do you know about my progress??
?I have my ways,? she said.
?What kind of ways??
?Hmmm. You don?t need to know.?
?Are you spying on my special moments??
?Maybe? they look so enticing.?
?I knew it?? I began to get out of the armchair.
Yukari pulled me back down into it, ?It is much too early for you to be leaving.? I was the one becoming angered, ?I want to leave okay? I?m tired?? Yukari cracked a grin, ?Well, you can stay here if you want,? She walked closer to me and sat on the armchair, ?That is? if you are willing to cope with my presence.? I got up from the chair again, staring her right in the eyes, ?If it?s intercourse, then the answer is no.? Yukari couldn?t help but laugh.
?What do you take me for? A child?? she spat at me. I sat back down on the chair and Yukari put her hand on my shoulder. The twilight was soon to come at night and it would soon be time for bed for me? My internal clock is still working like a well-oiled machine. Yukari would be up the whole time since she sleeps mostly during the day. I had to warn her though before sleeping?
?If you bother me while sleeping, it?s a slap to the head.?
?I?ll enjoy that then~? she giggled?
Ugh? I need rest?
