Touhou Project RP

"Hmm, if you're truly a relative of Remilia's, then I see no problem with inviting you for some tea," Reimu said honestly. She did not seem too worried by the threat of a vampire in her home. After all, Remilia had came over to her shrine for tea a few times before. "If you just follow me..."

Reimu led the way back to her shrine. While Kano jumped a bit at the Oni moving next to her, "Ah... um.. Reimu-neesan, what about him? The oni?"

"Ah, he can come in as well," Reimu replied offhandedly, "I'm sure Suika would like to see him once she gets back... from whatever she's doing."

Cerise entered the shrine and looked around to make sure that she was in the shade. She stood by a darker part of the shrine and took her hat off, sighing. "This hat is quite heavy... I should get a parasol like Remilia..."

After that, she looked at Reimu and called out to her. "Hey, have you seen that massive dimension portal in the sky? It seems peculiar, doesn't it?"

"Thank you for your offer, I hope to do more donations later" Yusa said as he stepped inside, same time hitting his head at wall above the door. "Damn door's...."He uttered under his breath.

He gave last look at "Dimensional portal" before he turned his back to it.

"Donation...?" Reimu's ears pricked at the mention of a donation. She looked as if she was about to run out immediately to check the donation box. She even edged ever so slightly to the door.

Luckily, Kano had grabbed her cousin's sleeve before she could take off, "Reimu-neesan, we have guests. You can check it later."

"Oh... uh yes," Reimu colored a bit at her indiscretion, "Can you get the tea ready for us Kano?"

"Mn," Kano nodded, leaving to get the tea.

Reimu then turned to Cerise, "Ah, funny you should mention that, I was just about to ask if you or Remilia knew of the cause."

"I don't think Remilia's able to do a thing like this. I'm also not sure seeing as that I just came back to Gensokyo through a portal like that with the help of Yukari yesterday... You know, the outside world is so interesting." she crossed her arms as she thought of it.

"Well, I don't really mind this giant portal. You know, it can block out the sun and maybe me, Remilia, and Flandre can come out more often, especially Flandre. She's been locked up for a long time, you know?"

As Yusa yawned quietly he gave another look for outside and frowned his browns. Was it just him or did the portal just grew a little bigger?

"Hmmm..." He just mused then shrugged it off thinking he must been imagin things.

"Flandre you say...?" Reimu could only imagine the chaos that little girl could cause. Not to mention, a certain someone who shall not be named *cough*Marisa*cough* told Flandre she should marry the shrine maiden. "In any case, that portal may cause more problems than think. Especially if it gets any bigger... though you probably won't mind at all..."

"Ah... tea's ready Reimu-neesan," Said Kano, walking into the room carrying tray with tea and cups. She first poured Cerise some tea and handed her the cup, "There you go Scarlet-san."

She then fixed her cousin a cup of tea, then to Oni, and finally fixed some tea for herself.

"Yes, Flandre. I do play with her a lot... although it does bother my sleep. I only do it because I pity her being locked up. Besides, even if we do play doesn't mean that she likes me and trusts me with Remilia." she said it as she accepted the tea from Kano and took a sip.

Reimu talked about the growing portal causing problems and Cerise just shrugged. "Well, the portal does give shade and even if invaders from another dimension come I am a hundred percent sure that even just the Scarlets combined will drive them off without mercy if they get too close to the mansion."

After that, she looked at Kano going around all over the place fixing and serving tea. "Remilia has this maid, Sakuya.... maybe you should get one too, they're quite useful. Or maybe are you making your cousin here your own maid?" with that, she let out a chuckle and took another sip of her tea.

"Thank you." Yusa said with smile and nodded, accepting the tea. Taking the first sip enjoying the peace which was now. His slowly lowered the tea cup and placed it on his left hand, lifting his right hand's fist and punched down on the floor which gave quit a shake and he gave glare at vampire girl. " Do you often insult other's in their houses?" Yusa said with serious tone.

"W-wha?" Kano blinked at what the vampire said then turned to her cousin, "Th-that's not true is it, Reimu-neesan?"

"Of course no-!" Reimu was about to protest, only to be interrupted by her sniffling cousin.

"R-Reimu-san, thinks I'm her maid!" The younger girl bawled. The little pig on her head glared at Reimu for making his master cry.

Reimu could only sweat drop at her cousin's reaction, "Now you're overracting Kano. I know you're not my maid, and I would never think that."

Kano looked up at Reimu, teary eyed, "R-really?"

"Yes really," Reimu replied with a sigh, "Now can you get that pig of yours to stop glaring at me."

Cerise chuckled slightly as she saw the oni talking back to her, Kano overreacting, and Reimu denying everything. It was a very amusing scene for her. "I think Kano is very good at serving... Why not send her to the Scarlet Devil Mansion? I bet Remilia will like her." she said while looking at the three.

"My my isn't someone being too sensitive?" she then smiled at the oni who was staring right at her.

" Oh, i see. you just love how everybody just kiss the earth you walk! Acting like that in someone elses house is dishonorfull!" Practicaly yelled straigh at her face.

"Hmph..." Cerise just kept smiling at the oni, unfazed by all of his words to her. She really wasn't the empathetic type and neither was she a hothead. "Well, that coming from a drunken oni... Are you even thinking straight as of now?"

After saying that, she redirected her attention to Reimu. "So, going back to the discussion about that dimensional border in the sky...."

"Yes, well, it'll be troublesome for me if the situation gets worse," Reimu stated matter of factly, "I'll have to investigate it. I would ask for your and Remilia's help with the matter, but you won't help, will you?"

Kano, in the meantime, tugged on the oni's sleeve, "Thank you, sir. But it's okay. You don't have to go that far for me. Besides, Reimu-neesan will get angry if you wreck her shrine."

"No need to thank, but don't listen to anything she says alright?" Yusa whispered calming down immediatly, otherwise he would dishonor himself by wrecking someone's house.

"What makes you think I'll help? I mean... what's in it for me, anyways?" Cerise said as she shook her finger at Reimu. Of course she wouldn't do anything unless there was something that she will have in return or if it will benifit her. "I also have a lot of sightseeing to do. Gensokyo has changed since the last time I've been here~"

" What is it that you would desire?" Yusa asked partly guessing what it was she would desire.

"Yes, I'm curious about that too," Reimu admitted, "Though I don't think I have anything you would particularly like."

While they were having their conversation, Kano sat to the side keeping out of it. Occasionally she would take a sip of tea or refill the tea of the others if she saw that they were running low. Kano was taught to have the best of manners and be curtious to guests. Something her cousin really lacked.

"Hmm... Well, I guess you don't."

She then looked at Kano as she refilled her tea. After a bit of thinking, it hit her. There was a plan that she had for an exchange. Reimu's cousin seemed to be the polite and gentle kind that would obey orders without much hesitation as long as there was any authority with the person who orders her.

"What about your cousin? She would make a great femme de chambre~ A good maid to the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

Yusa almost drank tea into wrong throath in shock and coughed up."Wha-?" He could really say throath sore.

"My cousin?" Reimu said thinking it over carefully as she rubbed her chin.

Kano who had only been half listening, blinked multiple times before it comprehended on her, "Wha-what?!"

It was then that Reimu shrugged, "Well, I guess it's fine, as long as you can promise she won't get hurt. I have a feeling you don't like being told no, and it would be bothersome to try and stop you."

"Wait, Reimu-neesan, you can't be serious!?" Kano protested, flailing her arms about. The little pig on her head holding on for dear life.

"I promise I won't hurt her in any way~" Cerise said this as she crossed her arms and grinned. "However, I am not too sure with Remilia and Flandre... You know how they are, right?" she chuckled a little as she said this. "Who knows, she might be Flandre's new playmate~"

After that, she walked towards Reimu and extended her hand for a handshake. "What do you say, Hakurei Reimu?"

Yusa was currently speechless from shock, that Kano's cousin just handed her right away. He sat in his place frozen and eyes glassed and tea cup shaking in his hand.

"Well, yes, I do know what they're like, but I'll trust you to not let them get too carried away," Reimu said then grabbed onto Cerise hand shaking it to finalize the deal.

"NYUUUU~!" Kano cried clinging onto Reimu, "Why, Reimu-neesan?! WHY?!"

Reimu sighed, she had hoped Kano wouldn't have overreacted. She planned on explaining things later, but it seems she had no choice.

"If you'll excuse me for a moment, Cerise," Reimu said practically dragging her tearful cousin into another room. Once she was sure they were far enough from prying eyes or ears, she faced her cousin. "I know this looks bad Kano, but there's a reason for this?"

Kano sniffled, "A reason?"

"Ya, I'm not sure, but Cerise may be behind the incident," Reimu stated, "You becoming her maid is the perfect chance to find out if she's really behind it or not."

"W-well I guess that makes sense," Kano said, her tears and sniffles dying down, "But what if she's not the culprit... do I still have to be her maid?"

"Umm... I didn't think about that part.." Reimu admitted sheepishly, "Well, I'm sure you'll think of some way out of it. Good luck then Kano."

"EH?!"

With that said, Reimu dragged her shell shocked cousin back into the room and pushed her towards Cerise, "She's all yours."

"Good, good... I'll make the arrangements with Remilia tonight. I might also introduce her to Flandre if she's not busy." Cerise said as she smiled at Kano. She shook Reimu's hand for a few times and pulled away, crossing her arms as Kano started whining.

While she was waiting for the two cousins to finish their conversations, she yawned a bit and thought to herself. "Goodbyes before she becomes a servant...? How cute and pathetic..." with that, she chuckled and then took Kano by the arm, gripping it firmly but not enough to hurt.

"She will be a great maid."

Yusa sat there frozen up unable to say anything anly to stare at spot where Reimu few minutes ago sat, with clear shock on his face un moved, tea cup still in his hand.

"Yes, she sure will," Reimu agreed. It wasn't a lie, Kano was a very hard worker. Though she was really timid, Kano was stubborn and the type to not give up or ask for help. She knew Kano could be depended on to find out what was needed. "In any case, I have a lot of work to do with Kano leaving. I'll escort you and Kano... oh and the oni to the door now."

"E-eh?" Kano was still a little shocked from the situation and was hardly aware of Cerise's grip on her arm.

"Oh and don't worry Kano, I'll tell Marisa to check on you whenever she goes to visit Patchouli."

"Wah-wait a minute, you agree to give her as maid into vampire mansion?!" Yusa asked straight from Reimu with clear shock in his face when he broke free from his frozen state.

"Ah, Marisa... I would like to meet her as well sometime." she pulled on Kano's arm to take her outside the door. "As soon as we are ready for discussing on how to deal with this portal, go and drop by the mansion soon." she said as she started walking towards the door and putting on her hat.

Before she was able to exit, the oni started to complain. "Hm...? And what are you going to do about it, drunk?"

Yusa only clenched his fist and teeth when he looked at Cerise. "My name is Akasa Yusa, not just a drunk... and also what would you do if someone would give your cousin away as maid?
