[Tashi]

>"O-Okay..."
>Nod, then hold our head.
>"But before that... you all should read that book about souls that i was reading in the library, there is something VERY important there..."

> "What's with it? Did you find something?" Sakura asks.
> _

[Monarda]

>"Yes, a very important thing about me and the others, it's something critical for us to live..."

[Tashi]

>"Yes, a very important thing about me and the others, it's something critical for us to live..."

> "Then what are you waiting for? Tell us."
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Apparently, the thing with the strings was me giving part of my soul to you guys, if I recall correctly."
>"And, Sakura. I think I have another way to try and get a clue of mother... But I'm not sure if it'll work..."

[Tashi]

>"Apparently, the thing with the strings was me giving part of my soul to you guys, if I recall correctly."

> "Did you... Did you gave them part of your VERY OWN soul?!" Sakura says surprised.

>"And, Sakura. I think I have another way to try and get a clue of mother... But I'm not sure if it'll work..."

> "W... What...?"
> _

[Monarda]

>"Look ! I know it sounds bad, but it was the only way ! I have no right to keep them trapped inside me forevermore..."
>Frown, then look sad.
>"And yeah, we could ask that dream person from the Dream World to look for her."

[Tashi]

>"Look ! I know it sounds bad, but it was the only way ! I have no right to keep them trapped inside me forevermore..."
>Frown, then look sad.
>"And yeah, we could ask that dream person from the Dream World to look for her."

> "... I understand Daiko... but please, don't reach an extreme of caring about someone else and where you don't care about yourself anymore..."
> "Dream World...? Oh... You mean Doremy..."
> _

[Monarda]

>"Yeah, she said that maybe she could find Mother and look at what she dreams with..."
>Nod.
>"Also Sakura... may i ask one deep question ?"

[Tashi]

>"Yeah, she said that maybe she could find Mother and look at what she dreams with..."
>Nod.
>"Also Sakura... may i ask one deep question ?"

> "I never thought of that possibility... You are great, Daikoku."
> "Sure. Go ahead." She smiles.
> _

[Monarda]

>Take a breath and look at her serious.
>"...who was it that used Black Danmaku ? Please don't hide it from me, the way you said it and the things i have found show me that you saw it *personally*."

[Tashi]

>Take a breath and look at her serious.
>"...who was it that used Black Danmaku ? Please don't hide it from me, the way you said it and the things i have found show me that you saw it *personally*."

> "..." Sakura closes her eyes. "Time has passed since that event... It was... fifty years ago...

> ...

Fifty years ago...


> You are Sakura Susumu, an Ice Oni born between the breed of a Yuki-Onna and an Oni. With good spirits almost all the time. You live peacefully in your small house in the Youkai Forest, in the land of fantasy called Gensokyo.
> You've moved to this place of fantasy a bunch of years ago.

> It's sunny today. And tonight it's going to be awesome! Your friends are going to come to drink some alcohol and talk about trivial things while all of you have a good time being together. This is like a party... without the principal things of a party.
> This is special because not always you can have a friendly reunion often, mainly because one or another of them not having time.
> The ones that are going to come to this reunion are Yuugi Hoshiguma, Suika Ibuki, Yukari Yakumo with her Shikigami and her Shikigami, and Yuyuko Saigyouji.

> However, there's still a looot to be night time, so you have to wait... and it seems it's a boooring day...
> Your daughter, Himiko Susumu, is calmly sipping some tea in the table. She, unlike you, it's only part Yuki-Onna.
> One can say she isn't your daughter, mainly because you are energetic, and she is just so calm... There's also the fact that you are particularly low in height compared to her... chest included.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Tap our fingers on the table in boredom and anticipation.

[Tashi]

>Tap our fingers on the table in boredom and anticipation.

> You show anxious signs towards the table with your fingers, taping it every time and making a little sound.
> Himiko opens her eyes. "Something wrong, mother...?"
> _

[Neovereign]

>"This is so boooooring."

[Tashi]

>"This is so boooooring."

> Himiko smiles. "Why don't you try go outside and do something? Like that you can kill time." She suggests while sipping a bit of tea. "Time it's not going to go faster you know, even if you want it to."
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Uuuugh... It shooould. You know how great that'd be?"

[Tashi]

>"Uuuugh... It shooould. You know how great that'd be?"

> "I do. It's always good when they come to visit us, bu-"
> Someone knocks the door.
> "Must be Orange." Himiko says.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Recall Orange. Not the Chen one, of course.

[Tashi]

>Recall Orange. Not the Chen one, of course.

> Oh, Orange. She is a nice girl you met when you made your home here, in the foot of the Youkai Mountain. Since then, she has been visiting you all the mornings. It makes you wonder, however, if she has a house. When you always asked to visit her, she always tried to change the topic. She looks kinda clumsy to do things, and it's a sad thought that she might don't have house...

[Neovereign]

>Spring up and head to the door.

[Tashi]

>Spring up and head to the door.

> You get up from the pillow and approach to the door.
> "Are you sure this is going to work?"
> "They will not expect it! This is going to be nice, trust me!"
> "I-I'm not really sure about this..."
> You can hear voices at the other side of the door.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Listen more.

[Tashi]

>Listen more.

> There's silence for some seconds.
> "They aren't coming..."
> "Of all days..."
> The door it's knocked again.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Open it quickly as soon as they start knocking.

[Tashi]

>Open it quickly as soon as they start knocking.

> When you hear the first knock you open the door very quickly, drawing the attention of Himiko.
> "WAH!" Two known figures jump, hugging each other from the scare.
> _

[Neovereign]

>Determine who they are.
>"Hehehe."

[Tashi]

>Determine who they are.
>"Hehehe."

> You know exactly who they are. Chen and Orange are in front of you.
> "T-That was so mean!" Chen says before separate.
> "I-I said it was a bad idea..." Orange adds, trying to calm herself.
> "It wasn't! It was just... a plan error!"
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Hey, you were the impatient ones knocking too frequently."

[Tashi]

>"Hey, you were the impatient ones knocking too frequently."

> "W-Why you opened the door like that, anyways?" Chen asks.
> _

[Neovereign]

>"Well, you two were knocking quickly, so I opened the door quickly."
