Lance Quinn's Story

Remilia and Yukari were both tired, both kneeling, catching their breath, but Yukari was faster, giving Remilia a brutal uppercut and sending her flying. Remilia would've stood, but the sunlight stopped her from dong anything. Yukari turned to Mirrin, enveloping herself in a gap and reappearing behind Mirrin, holding her while Rumia prepared to strike. Remilia yelled to Lance, knowing what he was about to do could turn him evil as well. "LANCE, TAKE OFF YOUR NECKLACE!".

_______________________________________________________________

Lance stood, facing the Vampire before him. Still in his childlike form, L was growing deadlier by the second, but Lance would match this power easily. Lance moved his hand to his necklace, only now realising the direness of the situation. If Lady Remilia was willing to let him take off his necklace, things must be going horribly. Very, very horribly. He clasped his hands around the necklace, and tugged.....

1....

2....

3....

That was when he exploded in a ball of light, sending everyone flying in different directions, and causing Him, L, Remilia and Mirrin to end up in the middle of the party. Well, Remilia and Mirrin did, at least, but he and L were transported to the top of a Volcano. Epic battle about to take place? I think so!

_____________________________________________________

the explosion shook the Island slightly, and that would've alerted Quill to what was happening, and where. And the others would've known too, because everyone would be fighting everyone else. Good versus Evil, Light versus Dark.

The Great Battle.... had just begun.

(OOC: Since I've been making so many characters, I'm just adding them into Meiling's Profile, a picture of all of the Scarlet Mansion Girls will be in there. Actually should I make another character for them all? Call it, Gensokyo Residents or something?

Made smaller for size purposes, reposting in the Gensokyo Residents Character Page soon ))

Lance stood, rubbing his forehead with the hand that didn't have a Void Cannon strapped to it. He looked down at the Void Cannon, noticing it had already begun drawing energy from the surrounding area to charge up again. Lance would've left, but he knew that L was still alive. L had taken a lot of hits like that, but Lance doubted that he could take a full power blast from the Void Cannon. As if on queue, L landed a few meters away, his features twisted hatefully and his eyes having turned fully red. This meant one thing, L was going to use his full power this time. Then they both took to the air, L using his smaller, artificial-looking wings, and Lance using his Hell Raven wings.

___________________________________________________________________

Remilia didn't even bother answering Mirrin, she simply pointed to the top of the Youkai infested mountain, which was, for some odd reason, missing a good half of it. "Meiling should be here with the others soon, so they'll take out a bit of them". Remilia then turned in the air, brandishing her red energy spears and lobbing them through the crowds of Youkai, incapacitating and slaying numerous amounts of her opponents.

___________________________________________________________________

Patchouli Knowledge was still in her Library when the Gateguard burst in through the door, with a fair amount of people behind her. Meiling was out of breath, and had to spend a few minutes to catch her breath, whilst the others went and did their own thing, Yukari went over to Patchouli and started discussing tactics to take advantage of their current disadvantage, and suddenly the Scarlet's Mansion was a hive of activity, buzzing with people and conversation. A far cry from the Mansion that it was a few seconds ago.

__________________________________________________________________

L and Lance were doing the exact same thing as before, but the sun was changing, reddening, and it almost seemed like some of its energy was flowing towards Lance, being absorbed into him and allowing his Void Cannon to charge faster. The two opponents hovered just next to the side of the Mountain, creating a whirlwind of debris and fire. A storm was brewing around the two, and soon enough it would block them off from the rest of the world. Mirrin would have to hurry up if she wanted to make it in time.

__________________________________________________________________

Remilia looked at Mirrin, seeming to realise something. "Fine whatever, you need to get up to the top of the mountain asap! Go!". Remilia didn't wait for Mirrin's reply and grabbed her by the hand, flinging her up the Mountain with inhuman strength that nobody would know came from Remilia, considering how skinny and small she was. Remilia then turned, and flew straight into the army of Youkai headed her way, slashing and hacking and biting.

___________________________________________________________________

A quarter of the way up the mountain, a hand caught Mirrin's. Meiling was holding onto Yukari's hand, utilising a portal to help Mirrin upways. "She's on our side now Mirrin, you focus on helping Lance, we'll take on the army, alright?". Meiling's eyes were blazing with determination, and she gave little warning before she flung Mirrin even further up the Mountain, being pulled into Yukari's 'Gap' just after to join the battle on the ground.

__________________________________________________________________

Further up the Mountain was another person, this being Youmu Konpaku, who was expertly balancing on her sword, which was stuck into the Mountainside. As Mirrin approached and began to fall back towards the ground, a sword appeared under her, giving her a stable foothold. "In three seconds, jump straight out. Don't ask why, I'm on your side now. L is a threat to everything so I must... throw aside my... grudges and help.... and take this as well". Youmu handed Mirrin a small vial, her grim features lightening for a second. "It's the cure you originally went after, I.... believe that I owe you it". Youmu nodded once, and pushed Mirrin off of the sword, allowing her to fall to the ground slightly...........

_________________________________________________________________

A hand grasped Mirrin's. The blond hair, the golden, sparkling eyes, and the cocky grin all revealed the person flying on her broomstick towards the top of the Mountain. "Marisa Kirisame, at ya service, Mirrin! You probably remember me from the Library, but we've got more important things to do right now! Hang on tight, girl!". Marisa grinned wildly, accelerating straight up and pulling Mirrin onto the broomstick, whilst she herself stood, apparently unaffected by gravity. Ahead of them were a large amount of Youkai, all yelling with blood lust and happiness, some realising who she was and fleeing instantaneously. Those who didn't had little time to react as Marisa pulled out a small black octagonal box with a pure black pearl in the middle of it. Maris grinned and aimed it at her targets, the pearl turning golden and sending out small sparks of electricity.

"MASTER....... SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRK!"

A massive beam of light shot forward from the box, annihilating the Youkai in front of the Magician. She turned to Mirrin, grabbing her wrist again, a smirk on her face. "Give L a good smack to the face for me, and don't let Lance kill himself, alright? I still..... don't worry, just don't let him die, alright?". A few seconds passed, allowing Mirrin to reply, as with the others, before Marisa flung her passenger up to the top of the mountain, but apparently it wasn't enough, as Mirrin just missed the top ledge. She begun falling.........

_______________________________________________________________

Then it happened. A pale hand appeared and extended itself out to Mirrin. After pulling Mirrin up it was revealed who stood there. A pale Maid, his silver hair framing her ghostly white face, her piercing blue eyes and her grim smile. Her hair was parted slightly over her forehead, with two long ponytails like Meiling's next to them. She locked eyes with Mirrin, and gave her a short bow. "Miss Patchouli should be using her powers to help you right about..... now". As those words left her mouth a path of fallen debris floated upwards, creating a 'path' that would help Mirrin reach Lance and L. The Maid put a hand on Mirrin's shoulder and bowed her head. "I left the Mansion a long time ago.... I... regret that, I doubt that they'd ever take me back, but I'll be here waiting for your return, Lady Mirrin. Oh, and tell Lance that Sakuya said hello...". With that, the Maid took Mirrins hand into her own, dropping a small charm into it. "This will help you, definitely". Then, the Maid gave Mirrin a shove towards the path, and watched her go. "I hope it isn't too late..... ".

_______________________________________________________________

Lance noticed the ground appear underneath him, and landed on it, making sure it was solid. Patchouli was doing a darn good job keeping it in place. He moved just in time to dodge a whip of energy fired from L, and retaliated by creating a ball of Nuclear power and threw it at his opponent, who had to fly up into the air just to barely escape. The storm around them raged, more powerful than ever, the flames and wind would probably annihilate anything or anyone that fell into it instantly. With this in mind, Lance returned to his battle with L, and made sure to keep away from the edges of the arena.

______________________________________________________________

At the bottom of the Mountain, a stranger approached the Castle, observing the happenings but not interfering. Her red hair and eyes sparkled almost as brightly as her scythe's blade did. She simply observed, and sighed lightly. "I'm going to have a LOT of souls to reap.... ugh...".

L flipped backwards, a smirk on his face. "Heeeheee~ You fell right into my trap, Human!~". L pointed at Mirrin, gathering power in his fingertips, sending out a beam of light aimed right at her. Suddenly something blocked out all of the light around Mirrin. It was Lance, his face just a few centimeters away from hers. "I might not live to regret this, but i can't stop myself any longer, Mirrin". With that, he pressed his lips against hers just long enough for her to react. Then he turned, facing L, smirk on his face.

"SPELL CARD! NUCLEAR FUSION - SUBTERRANEAN SUN!"

Lance threw Mirrin backwards, away from him as a ball of Nuclear power engulfed him in red light. It grew bigger and bigger, to the size of a house, completely covering him in it's glow, and sucking everything in towards it. A literal 'Sun' that had its own gravitational field, sucking in everything that was in its radius, meaning that the Youkai, L and Mirrin were in danger. Hopefully Mirrin had latched onto her sword, but all Lance cared about was killing L. He made out to be immortal, but in truth Lance could kill him easily in this form. L scrabbled for handholds and grips, but found none, falling slowly towards the Sun and clawing at the ground on his way there. He glared at extended his claws, digging into the ground and staying there. "Hahahaaaa!~ What now, Mister Lance? What NOW?~".

Lance fell to the ground, sucked in by the gravity created by his artificial sun. He wrapped his arm around Mirrin, pushing back into the kiss, but keeping a watchful eye on L. L's claws had been cut off by Mirrin, and the boy was being quickly sucked into the sun, his clothes and skin alike being destroyed. And when he was just about to die, Lance destroyed the Sun, allowing him to stand up. He stood, still holding Mirrin close to him but breaking the kiss. He pulled her sword out of his shoulder, and let her go. "there's one thing I've wanted to do, and now.... I can do it".

Lance kneeled, watching the octagonal panels on his Void Cannon open up and flip, exposing L to the runes embedded on them. A small ball of pure Nuclear energy appeared in front of the barrel, growing bigger and more powerful every second. L looked up, pleading with his eyes. He only managed to mutter "Mister La-" before the fully powered Void Cannon obliterated him, and the arena and Youkai army behind him. The charge went on for a long time, Lance kneeled there, eveen after it had finished. He stood and turned to Mirrin, smiling and giving her a salute whilst his Void Cannon folded up. He walked over to her and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"I'm glad that I finally got too kiss you, I've wanted to do that for a long time....". Lance rubbed his forehead, his brows creasing. Then, he blacked out, falling to the ground, sound asleep.

The solitary figure stood over the two unconscious people. The Hell Raven and the... Human? The figure's crimson eyes scanned them, knowing that the Hell Raven was close to death. The figure could take him if she wanted, but she did owe him life. He'd saved hers, so now she had repayed her debt. A note appeared in front of her, text slowly appearing on it.

Dearest Lancelot,

You saved my life once, so now I've taken the liberty of letting you continue yours. Also, an old friend of yours is back, but I doubt that you'll see her. She was good at hiding before, now she's gotten even better, keep an eye out though. She says hello.

Yours faithfully,
Komachi Onozuka, Shinigami

The figure kneeled, placing the note in Lance's hand, and then turned to Mirrin, a small smile playing on her face.

Dear Mirrin,

You may not be from our world, Gensokyo, but you've proven today that you just might be a perfect match for our enigmatic Butler. Listen closely, he really cares for you, don't screw him around, otherwise he might just kill you, and then I'll have to take you to Shikeiki and... ugh, don't even get me started about her. Anyways, I've gotta go, I might get caught slacking off again, and I don't want that to happen. We'll always be watching you, Mirrin, but in a good way.

Yours faithfully,
Komachi Onozuka, Shinigami

P.S: He likes Chocolate, especially the ones from Rinnouske's Shop, if you want to buy him something, buy them

The figure placed that note in Mirrin's hand and disappeared into thin air, trying to avoid her duties at all costs.

____________________________________________________________________

Remilia Scarlet sighed. L was finally dead, or at least his evil was dead. For now. He'd just come back soon, and forget whatever happened. She landed, blood covering her from where the Youkai had been feasted on. She got hungry, so what? No doubt the Shrine Maiden and Guardian would celebrate, and it'd be a fairly large party too. The not-so-dead Youkai would come and apologise, and those that weren't involved would come too. Remilia floated around, eventually finding Quill. "Just letting you know that L has been.... obliterated, for lack of better word. We'll be seeing him later though, right now I have other concerns". Remilia disappeared, off to find her Brother, probably.

___________________________________________________________________

Yukari Yakumo smiled, Lance was cute when he was passed out, or when he wasn't aware of her spying on him, or when he wa-. Focus Yukari, just put him in the bed and leave, that's it. Get some sleep while you're at it.

Yukari placed Lance on the double bed he'd brought in, and placed Mirrin next to him, then she walked over to another bed and collapsed onto it, preparing for her 20 hour sleep.

__________________________________________________________________

Lance turned in his sleep, allowing one of his hands to fall onto one of Mirrin's. Who knows what he was dreaming about? You never know with Lance.... that's why everyone is so interested in him.

Lance's eyes shot open, his nightmare still fresh in his mind. "MIRRIN!" He quickly looked around, before realising that it had just been a dream. Lance sighed and lay back down, allowing himself a little chuckle. After a few minutes he sat up again, rubbing his face with his hands. He realised that he hadn't had a shower or bathed in a while, so the first thing he decided to do was do just that. He stood up from the bed, and went to leave the room, but he noticed a note on the table addressed to him. His eyes flicked between it and the doorway, before deciding to read the letter. He went over to the table and read it, his eyes lazily scanning the page.

Dear Lance,
Just in case you wake up before I get back I've gone to find Remilia, there is something I need to ask her. While I was making my way up the volcano I met a girl, anyway she said her name was Sakuya and she told me to say to hi to you for her, She also left me the charm I'm leaving with this note, she also said that she regretted leaving the mansion and wants to come back. I have a feeling she means a lot to you so you should go find her.

Mirrin

Lance's eyes opened wide for an instant, but he regained his composure quickly and seemed unaffected. He put the note down, and picked up the charm. Lance had always been good at finding exotic things, and he had a collection of them at the Mansion. He turned it over in his hands, wondering exactly what it was. He put it in his pocket and turned towards the door, leaving the room and his bed behind.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

A few mintues later, Lance had made his way to the Beach, his Void Cannon lay on the sand, along with his clothes and his shoes. His jet black wings spread out lazily about his as the cool ocean water surrounded him. The water was cold, to say the least, but being a Hell Raven meant that you could easily withstand the elements. Heat and Cold didn't affect him, so he just floated there, eyes closed and a small smirk on his face. There were no waves where he was, and he doubted that any dangerous animals would be near him, or, if they did, they wouldn't try to attack him. His mind wandered to Mirrin, how she was willing to sacrifice herself for him. He knew he would do the same, but if it was a choice between her and Lady Remilia, then he would do what he always did. His loyalty was unquestionable, and his desire to protect those around him even stronger. His mind wandered again, reaching the place where he wondered when his Mistress' next 'special' request would be. He shook his head slightly, stowing those thoughts away in a deeper place. He had other things to worry about now. His ears perked up slightly as he heard someone enter the water near him. Swimming nude was a custom in Gensokyo, but then again, he wasn't exactly in Gensokyo, and he didn't have any shorts to swim in either, so he didn't have much choice in the matter. He opened his eyes, wondering just who was approaching him.

________________________________________________________________________________________

[WARNING - REMILIA'S PART IS BAD FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE A VIVID OR DIRTY IMAGINATION. Just kidding, but if you think of it in a dirty way, it's your fault, not mine. Have a nice, (Insert Time of Day Here) ]

Remilia Scarlet was a Vampire, but where she was from, Vampire's didn't explode in the sunlight, and don't even mention sparkling. So she'd decided to go swimming, and she had by chance managed to pick the exact same spot where Lance was. So she'd decided to sneak up on his, using her Vampiric stealth. She looked at her Butler admiringly. Mirrin was lucky to have him, but Remilia doubted that Lance would abandon her, after all, he was her Butler, and he'd never done it before, so why would he do it now? He wouldn't, Remilia was sure of it. She noticed him open his eyes, so she ducked under water, letting her gaze slide over her servants well muscled body, his dark wings blocking out the sun, spreading out like the darkness overtaking the light. Remilia loved it, she loved the feeling of the dark, how it never burned her, and how she could always see clearly no matter what. A lot of Humans were nightblind, but being a Hell Raven, Lance was not. He was born from hellfires and demons, and humans were born from idiocy and envy. The seven deadly sins were a customary thing to have if you were a human, but Youkai and that were only slightly different. Remilia slowly made har way to the surface, wrapping her arms around her Butler... Her Butler... He was hers, wasn't he. He'd basically given himself to her, and for that she was grateful, because as long as he was around she could sleep well, knowing she was protected from anything and everything that could harm her. She'd felt even better when the Head Maid, Sakuya was around, but she had left and wasn't ever going to come back... or was she? Mirrin had said something about her wanting to come back, hadn't she? Remilia could barely remember the conversation, but she knew that Sakuya was around. Remilia leaned her head next to her Butler's, savouring his smell and loving the sound of his heartbeat, growing slightly faster as she wrapped herself around him more. Her fangs slid out slightly, her cheeks reddening. This is what happens when you're a Vampire. You get certain urges, and sometimes you just need to-

"Milady, I hope you're not planning on doing anything.... unreasonable, right now, in public".

Remilia's eyes opened more at the sound of her manservants voice. "Aww.... I was just going to have some fun~ S'there anything wrong with that, Lance?~". Remilia's voice was coated with her usual charm, but it had a more intimate, sensual, tone to it whenever she was with someone close to her. And she and Lance were... very close, to say the least. "You wouldn't abandon me for anyone, would you, Master Lancelot?~". She rolled that around her toungue a few times. Master Lancelot had a certain ring to it, but it sounded odd of her to be saying it, since he was her servant. "Milady... are you feeling alright?".

"Oh, I'm feeling just fine, now that I know my Butler is himself again~".

"I never changed, Milady. You know that".

"Mmmmm, you're so warm... Are all Hell Raven's this nice to touch?~".

"Milady, isn't that a bit.... innapropriate?".

"Hmmm... You do know who I am, right?~".

"Yes Milady, I do".

Remilia squeezed tighter, wrapping her legs around her companions.

"Then you know what I want from you right now... don't you?~".

Lance swallowed, closing his eyes to regain his composture.

"Well, there's three options. One, you could be after my Blood, and I'm willing to give you that. Two, you could be purposely disorientating me in hopes that I'll fall into one of your traps and do something you want me to do without my consent, or three, you.... could..... nevermind, Milady. Such things aren't.... nevermind".

Remilia grinned.

"You're so attractive when you don't know what to do, but I'll tell you what I want right now, mkay?~".

Remilia rolled in the water, somehow ending up on top of her Butler, the grin on her face showing her fangs. She leaned in closer, decreasing the distance between her face and her Butlers face. Her cheeks reddened as she leaned in, her thoughts clouding her mind. Lance was just laying there the whole time, paralysis taking control. The Mistress usually had that effect of people when she wanted something badly, and today was no exception. "M-Milady, don't do this.... You know that in my Hell Raven for you can't do thi-".

"Aaahhn~".

"You're not going to listen to me, are you?".

"Nope~".

"I hate you sometimes, Milady".

"I love you too, Lancelot~"

__________________________________________________________________________________

Aya Shameimaru sat on a rock at the Beach, snapping photo's for her paper. She'd nearly missed this opportunity before, and she sure as hell wasn't going to miss it again. She clicked the 'Shoot' button and took yet another Photo. The first time she took Photo's of these two together was when they first met her, and they both tried to murder her for some reason. Now Aya was just someone they knew, but only slightly liked because of her paper. She was also the fastest person in Gensokyo, not counting Lance or Sakuya due to their abilities. Being a Tengu was a great thing, especially a Crow Tengu, since you could also talk to Birds and they would help you.

Aya took yet another photo, a slight blush appearing on her face. "Doesn't that Vampire know that they're in public? Oh, wait, It IS Remilia Scarlet, so... I guess that doesn't matter, does it? Should I interrupt them and tell them about the party yet?...... Nah, this is too good to miss! Imagine the looks on their faces when they see this issue! Haha!".

"It's rude to stalk people, you know".

Aya nearly jumped 2 meters into the air. "M-Miss Kirisame! H-How good to see you t-today! Heh, I wasn't stalking, I was just... uhh, erm... getting some Scoop! Yeah, that's it, I was just getting pictures of this Island for my Paper and i accdientlly took a photo of those two! I swear!".

"Whatever, Bird-brain".

"Hey! I find that insulting!".

"Good".

"No wonder your last Boyfriend dumped you...".

"EXCUSE ME!?".

"N-Nothing! I swear, nothing!".

"That's what I thou- oh wow, look at that. His wings are... nice....".

"And you were calling me a pervert".

"You ARE a Pervert".

"N-No I'm not! You are!".

"Sure... suuuuuure".

Aya turned away, mumbling to herself about how silly Marisa was and how she wasn't perving on the two people in the Ocean.

Lance and Remilia flew over the Forest, both fully clothed, obviously. They'd accepted a race with Aya and Marisa, and so far Lance's long, powerful, Hell Raven Wings had propelled them at least a kilometer ahead of their opponents. Lance ducked underneath the cover of the trees, keeping a good hold on Remila's hand and dragging her along behind him. He threw her forward a few meters, watching her slip through a gap in the trees and land on the ground beside a stream. Lance grinned. He hadn't seen his Mistress this happy in a long time, and he intended to make sure it lasted. He turned sideways, then thought better of it and flew up, right up into the Sun, blocking it out slightly, before plunging back toward the Earth, landing beside Remilia. He grinned a grin that barely anyone ever saw, and the two companions realised that it wasn't so bad on the Island after all. Besides, L would've forgotten about everything, and Lance would take him back to their Basement to sleep or something. Lance bowed his head slightly, his eyes sparkling slightly. Today would be a good day, or so he thought.

______________________________________________________________________

Remilia's ears perked up slightly, and she turned upstream, toward the sound she'd heard. She gave her consort a quizzical look and turned back to the sounds. "Voices.... But what would the others be doing here? Any ideas, Lance?".

Lance turned, peering upstream, and listening to the voices. His ears weren't as powerful as Remilia's, but he could hear better than any normal human, or any normal Youkai. He turned to his Mistress and nodded, getting ready for a fight just in case. They headed upstream, stepping silently through the grass, remaining completely undetected as they did so. They peered out of the flora that surrounded them, only to find the others all around somebody on the ground. Lance and Remilia looked at the figure, and it clicked in their head at the same time. "Mirrin... I wonder what happened.... I hope that my Consort is not... distressed?". Remilia eyed Lance for a few moments, but then looked away, finding that her Butler remained composed as always. Lance sighed. Mirrin needed to stop getting into trouble, but something seemed very... off about her. Lance let his eyes wander over her body, finding no physical evidence aside from two bites on one of her legs. Lance alerted Remilia telepathically, and the Vampire's eyes lit up suddenly, the scent of blood hitting her like a Train. Lance knew something was amiss, but didn't interrupt as his Mistress stood and proceeded over to the Group.

____________________________________________________________________

"Hmm, now this is... bad. I guess... any clues on what happened?". Remilia stood over Mirrin, eying her suspiciously. She looked to the others. "Well....?". Remilia looked back down at Mirrin, her blue hair moving gently in the breeze. Her red eyes penetrated Mirrin's own eyes, the power of a nearly 500 year old Vampire almost seeping into her. A flap of wings could be heard overhead as a figure with large, jet black wings landed nearby, a Pocket watch in hand. He looked at it, then back at the blue-haired Vampire whom he knew would already be assessing the situation. He folded his wings in, watching them disappear like smoke, before proceeding over to Remilia. "Milady, what's happened?".

Remilia Scarlet smiled, one of her fangs slipping out, glinting in the sunlight. "Well, either she's very good at acting, or she may have amnesia. That's great for you, isn't it Lancey~. Awww~ She might not even remember you~ How sad!~". Once Remilia's bout of teasing had ended, and her maturity had returned, she glanced down at Mirrin again. "Sorry about that, you do remember who I am, and who he is, right? On another note, I'm also a Vampire". Remilia knew she was playing a dangerous game, but she also knew that whatever happened, Lance would be at her side. So she stood there, a smirk on her face, her intimidating red eyes glowing brighter every second as the winds blew her hair sideways. All in all she would've looked pretty darn scary or evil to almost everyone there, excepting one person, of course.

"Oh, did I mention I was hungry too?~".

Aya sighed. At least she'd gotten the photo's, right? Wrong. She needed an Interview. She flew around some more, before spying a group of people in the Forest walking. She landed in front of them, snapping Photo's with a grin on her face. She'd already gotten enough Photo's, but she always liked having extras. She let her Camera fall, noticing whom she was photographing. A Wolf, a girl and a Man. Odd, Aya swore that the Wolf looked kind of Human. Oh well. "Heya, people-from-somewhere-not-in-gensokyo-but-are-apparently-cool-anyways! Where ya going? Could I get an Interview off of anyone?".

_____________________________________________________________________

Remilia observed Mirrin and Damien fly over to the Balcony, and decided to act quickly. She proceeded to where they were, pulling a note out of her pocket. "Listen Mirrin, you might not like me at the moment, but we were getting along just fine before. Anyways, read this. You wrote it to Lance after you met my Maid, which was after you beat up my Brother, L, and... I missed a lot of stuff, actually". Remilia held out the Note, expecting Mirrin to hate her even more now that she knew L and her were related.

Before Mirrin turned away, Remilia called out to her. "Oh, then would you mind returning MY Clothes, and LANCE'S Sword then? Which he gave to you so you could protect yourself? The Clothes I gave you so that you wouldn't freeze to death? Maybe next time I'll let Rumia devour you!". Remilia held out her hand, eyes blazing red. "I'm not leaving you alone until you gimme back my stuff!~".

________________________________________________________________________

Aya observed the people before her. "Umm, hey guys? Uhh... can ya answer my question?".

________________________________________________________________________

*Fwooooosh!*

The two racers sped across the Island, through the Forests, dodging trees and rocks alike. They suddenly veered upwards, landing on the Mountaintop that had so recently held a massive battle. "Want a drink, Lance?".

"Sure".

"What happened down there, anyways".

"Stuff... complicated stuff".

"Don't wanna talk about it do ya?".

"Not really, Marisa".

"Fine then, I'll just lean my head on your shoulder then".

Lance was too tired to protest, so they sat like that for a while.

Remilia smiled. "oh, you mean Anastasia? I've already met her. You've lost a lot of your memories so you probably don't remember it. It's also a shame that you don't remember Lance, after all, you DID kiss him~". Remilia smiled and tugged on Mirrin's sleeve. "Well anyways, I'll be in the Hot Springs in my Mansion if you need me, Mirrin~". Remilia turned and took a few steps. "And I'm not joking about Lance~".

___________________________________________________________

A figure blocked out the moonlight, drenching the world in darkness for a few seconds, then, everything was visible again. Remilia looked up, a smile on her face. "Well it doesn't look like I have to call him, does it?". The figure landed on the railing, crouching. He was as attractive and as alluring as he had ever been, like a brilliant crimson moon. His piercing blue eyes traveled over the two females in front of him. He locked eyes with Mirrin, but continued moving his eyes around immediately after. The shadows on his face moves slightly, causing the evil look to fade, replaced with the face and body that Mirrin had fallen in love with, but it was so much more.... entrancing. Remilia thought the word, her smile broadening for a moment. In the Hell Raven's hands lay a blond girl that seemed to be his age. At first glance she seemed dead, but her heavy breathing and the blush on her face told otherwise. The figure flapped it's wings once, somersaulting onto the balcony. He nodded at both girls once, then proceeded into the Castle, toward the bedrooms.

Remilia smiled. "He always look so much more attractive when there's a Full Moon~".

((OOC: So I've got Remi and Patchy's Sheets up in the Gensokyo Residents Profile if you want to look at them or something. Working on it again soon. ))

"GAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!~". Remilia fell to the floor, her laughter echoing off of the Castle's Walls. She wiped her hand over her eyes. "You think! Hahaha.... Ah~..". Remilia walked over to Mirrin, trying, and failing, to stop her self from giggling. "Ahh, Mirrin. Lance is my Butler, yes, we're close, but we aren't together. And besides, he kissed you back". Remilia didn't try to hide her giggling this time. "Hahahahah!~ I still can't believe that you thought we were together! Everyone in my Mansion is like that to each other. We're all close and we all care about each other". Remilia giggled again, wrapping Mirrin in a hug. "Aww, you're so funny sometimes~".

A door opened, and the Hell Raven entered, his jet black wings extending outwards and enveloping the room for a few moments before they folded into him, disappearing like they were never there. Lance gave Remilia a smile, and turned to Mirrin. "You are aware that it's rude to assume things about people, Lady Mirrin?". A grin spread over his face, as Remilia conversed with him mentally. "Remilia tells me that you thought we were together. I am simply her Servant, her Consort, her Comforter and, in basis, her Butler. I would laugh, but I've already laughed when I was inside. Me and Lady Remilia have a... connection, which allows us to speak. I might've lost it in there, but you have to admit that it was funny". Lance gave Mirrin a look, and then locked eyes with her. "It's a shame you've lost your memories. I guess I'll just have to make you remember, or fall in love with me again, won't I?". With that, Lance grinned and turned away, stepping through the door.

Remilia grinned. "I still can't believe that you thought we were together~".

Aya smiled as the Interview finished, she watched as Momiji gave her another thumbs up, and let out a sigh of relief. She turned to Quill. "Well, thanks for the info, the paper'll be out tomorrow, so we'd better head off now". Aya turned, gave Quill a thumbs up and a grin, and flew into the sky, disappearing. Momiji went over to Quill. "Why does she have to fly so fast?". With that, Momiji was gone too.

A dark shadow was gliding across the night sky. The shadow was contemplating something. With Mirrin's memories gone, what would happen now? Sure, he still cared for her, but she probably didn't even remember him. At any rate, he'd learned that Mirrin knew about the Beach, and on the inside Lance was anything but happy. He soared over the Mountain where he'd fought L, and landed. The moonlight illuminated the whole area. He looked around, before noticing something laying on the ground. He went over to it and picked it up. It was the Rose. Mirrin must have dropped it when she was helping his fight L. Lance closed his eyes and held the rose close. He was nothing to Mirrin now, that much had been affirmed by the girl herself, but that wouldn't stop Lance from trying to get her back. After all, he would go to the end of any world for her. He pressed the rose against his lips, savoring the scent of it. The famous Scarlet Rose was the most amazing flower in all of Gensokyo, and the world he'd come from. He thought of his old life, how he missed his family, but he had a new family now. He missed his Mother sorely, and hated himself for causing her grief when he disappeared. He opened his eyes, holding the rose. He decided to do something. He took to the sky, and disappeared in the direction of the castle.

_______________________________________________________________________

Wherever Mirrin was, where she was walking to would seem different. And a single Scarlet Rose floated down towards her, just in front of her, it's brilliance reflected tenfold by the moonlight.

Shadows. They surrounded him as he flew through the night. He'd arrived at the Beach a few moments ago to see Mirrin floating offshore. He camouflaged himself into the sky, hiding himself from sight. As he flew over Mirrin, he paused time, putting a large amount Roses into the air, so that when he started time again, they would fall towards her, surrounding her.He wouldn't reveal himself to her yet though. If she wanted to see him, she would find him.

Lance sat on top of a tall rock, his golden eyes shining in the darkness. "You know I had no choice. I promised myself to her when I began working for her. She saved my life, and now I owe her it". Lance's wings were spread out, and he was still invisible except for his eyes. "You understand, right?".

"And what decision would that be, Lady Mirrin?~". Lance's voice was coated with the same charisma as Remilia's, but it was different in it's own way. "I'm glad that it isn't the Mistress that is causing you to do this... whatever it is you're doing". Lance kept still, his eyes the only thing visible. They followed her to where she was and stayed on her.

"Well, if that's how you feel about it". Suddenly, all of the Roses died, wilting away into nothingness. The eyes were still hard, but suddenly the body appeared. He walked towards Mirrin, a slight smile on his face. "Well then, I guess you won't be needing my Sword anymore then?". Lance's entire figure seemed... off. He just didn't look right, and his eyes didn't look good either. "I respect your decision, but that doesn't mean it pains me any less, Lady Mirrin". Lance turned away, and disappeared, leaving one thing behind. A tear drop, suspended in the air where he had been, floating in some ghostly way. The darkness seemed even darker, and something exploded in the distance. The portal to Lance's World had closed, and everyone had gone with it. A Note sat on Mirrin's clothing.

"You will never see me or anyone else from my world again until you wish to. Take this Charm, keep it safe, and if anything happens to you, blame the Sun".

It wasn't even signed.

The figure manifested into the Butler that Mirrin knew so well. His eyes had changed to red again, which was not a good sign at all. He clenched his fists, and when he unclenched them, there were Knives in his hands. "Like I stated before, MIRRIN does not belong to YOU. She has her own consciousness and can make her own decisions. Do you understand now, or do I have to act accordingly?".

"And if you have the tenacity to do what you did, then come back and try to claim someone's life, you really are lower than a human, aren't you? Do you even have ten fingers?".

Lance bowed, his eyes returning to normal. "Lady Remilia has apologised for her actions, and she wished to tell you that she harbours no hatred toaward you, or anyone here". Lance looked around the room. "It seems that I am not wanted here. Very well then. You might not see me again for a while". And with that, a storm of rose petals flew into the room, and when they disappeared, so did Lance.

"Oh, and by the way, you can keep my Sword. You'll never know when you might need it, Lady Mirrin".

More Rose Petals appeared, and Lance also reappered with them. "I seemed to have forgotten something. I apologise, I'll be right back". Lance walked past Mirrin, locking eyes with her for a moment, and then stopping time, but including her in the time stop.

"Lady Mirrin, I need to know. Does it hurt you if I am around?".

Lance wondered how Eric had managed to neter his time stop, before realising that he had only stopped time for a few seconds. He smiled slightly. "Well, Miss Mirrin. I still will be away for a while. There are certain things I must... find". Lance turned to Mirrin. "Lady Remilia is sick, and I must find her a cure, otherwise....". Lance looked at the ground, but a split second later, wrapped Mirrin in an embrace, kissing her intently.
