Trials of Youth Ch 8

(A centaur, minotaur, and kitsune walk into an ambush... except it's the Goddess of Fate who wants a quick word. And to provide them with snacks)

(Aka I'm trying to trick my brain into working on the next chapter of my second book, and it is. Proving Uncooperative. So here, have some teenage shenanigans and tell me what y'all think)

---

“You can’t be serious.”

Lepl winced, and tried to give his best friend a discouraging poke in the ribs. But Mifu just batted his hand away, scowling at their third companion.

Sana, in return, folded her arms and glared back up at him. “I’m perfectly serious. As long as it’s here, why not use the road?”

“Because it’s an Arriv road! As in, Arriv use it! And if we try to do the same, we’ll almost certainly get caught!”

“Almost,” Sana pointed out, “Is not the same as absolute. Besides, I can smell any Arriv coming half a mile away! We’ll have plenty of time to vanish up into the long grass-”

Before he could second guess himself, Lepl coughed. “Uh, no. You can vanish into the grass, sure. Me and Mifu? Not so much.”

To her credit, the kitsune actually paused to consider his point. “...fine. Maybe we won’t use the road, then, but we can still travel alongside it. Or is that also too risky for your tastes?”

Mifu’s scowl deepened, his tail swishing with annoyance at Sana’s tone. But he didn’t protest further, and soon enough the three of them set off, winding through the low sloped hills that lined the stone causeway.

Lepl was used to temporary hoof-paths through grass, or the odd track worn down to bare dirt, and part of him felt sorely tempted to go take a look at how the road was crafted. But the rest of him knew good and well Mifu would pitch the all-mightiest of fits if he tried, so that was out. Instead, to keep himself occupied, the minotaur reached into one of the packs slung across Mifu’s lower back and dug around for his thread kit.

While the boys maintained a steady gait, Sana kept periodically darting up the hills around them, nose raised to the sky, ears twitching as she turned in place to scan their surroundings. It took a few back and forth passes for her to notice the frame in Lepl’s hands. “What are you doing?”

“Weaving,” he answered.

Face scrunching up, she drifted closer for a better look. “That little thing is a loom?”

“Sure is.” Lepl briefly paused running his needle through the vertical strands, and held it out for her to see. “My grandmother notched and put the bones together for the frame ages ago, when bad storms kept us inside the entire cold season and I was bored. My hands are bigger now, but I still like to use this one instead of something larger.”

“For what? You can’t possibly make any useful sized cloth on that.”

Mifu snorted. “He gives everything he makes to my father. Sew enough small squares together and they become a blanket just fine; an extra warm one, too, if you double layer it and stuff the inside with dry grass.”

Sana’s head stayed tipped to one side as she watched Lepl resume his work. “...I’ll take your word for it.”

But she didn’t go on ahead of them again. Instead, the kitsune stayed by Lepl’s side, paying attention to how he switched between dark and light shades of blue yarn, gradually adding more layers to his small bit of cloth. Apparently it proved so interesting for her that the woodsmoke ahead never registered.

The three of them came around the edge of a particularly wide hill, and walked right into a small campsite.

Lepl tripped and nearly fell flat on his face. Mifu froze with a front leg still raised off the ground. Sana’s hands leapt towards her weaponry. And the little old Arriv - drab green skin, with long hair wrapped up in a scarf, but did that mean a goblin or orc - just kept on turning the odd contraption set up over her fire. The scent of roasting sweet nuts filled the air.

“Don’t fret yourselves, now,” the Arriv called, without looking over her shoulder. “You don’t cause me any trouble, I won’t cause you any either.”

Sana promptly snarled, leaping to place herself in front of the boys, but didn’t draw either of her blades. “You’re trespassing, goblin.”

“Oh? This is the Borderlands territory, child. I believe that means you must be trespassing as well.”

Another snarl made Lepl slowly reach forward, and curl his hand around Sana’s shoulder. “No trouble intended, uh, ma’am. We’ll just go around, now.”

The goblin hummed. She picked up an empty cloth pouch, and used a thin metal rod and hook to tip over her spinning pot contraption, pouring roasted nuts into the bag. “You’ll hit the town of Plaimik in another day or so, if you keep following the road. They’re rather famous around these parts, if you didn’t know.”

Lepl exchanged a wary glance with Mifu, who asked, “Famous for, what, exactly?”

“Biggest gladiator arena of any slave town in the Borderlands. If you aren’t trying to go there, I’d suggest heading at least half a day north in order to go around.”

She’d been trembling faintly when Lepl first touched her, but at that, Sana went completely still beneath his hand. “...what’s it matter to you?”

“Oh, very much or very little, depending on your choices.” The goblin plucked a nut back out of the pouch, and popped it into her mouth.

“That is not an answer.”

“Would you prefer I stay silent and not say anything at all?” Chuckling lightly, the goblin pulled the pouch’s drawstring closed, and then- then tossed it to Mifu, who caught the thing with a startled yelp. “A parting gift, as thanks for not attacking my little old self. Go to Plaimik or sneak around, as you will, but I won’t let anyone claim Shan let them leave without some token or other.”

“Uhh... thank you?” Mifu poked the pouch cautiously. Lepl leaned a little closer and breathed deeply through his nose, mouth already watering. The goblin only chuckled again, turning back to her fire and picking up a larger sack to pour more nuts into the pot contraption. Lepl backed up first, pulling Sana along with Mifu right behind them, and they went around the hill to continue onward. “...are we going north?”

“Of course not,” Sana snapped, shoulders still clearly tense even after she shrugged off Lepl’s hand. “I can’t afford to lose that much time. And we are not eating those!”

“Why not?” Lepl asked. “They smell good. And she ate one, so they can’t be poisoned.”

“Like there aren’t herbs that don’t affect Arriv but will kill Amkyn!”

Mifu rolled his eyes and let Lepl snag the still-warm pouch from his hands. “I think you’ve got that backwards. There’s only a few things bad for Amkyn across the board, but plenty of stuff that won’t bother our stomachs while doing awful things to Arriv who try to eat them.”

Sana muttered something rude, but at least didn’t try to stop Lepl from tossing a couple of nuts in his mouth and crunching down. “Ooh - these are tasty! Mifu, try some!”

The two of them managed to work through most of the pouch by the time Sana relented, and stole the remaining nuts for herself.

Chapter 2

“Alright, Mifu-”

“Don’t say it.”

“-we are officially lost.”

The centaur groaned, shoulders slumping. “What part of don’t say it did you not hear?”

His best friend only offered a shrug. “Sorry, had to be done.”

“I sincerely doubt that.” Mifu continued to grumble under his breath about hard-horned minotaurs always stating the unwelcome obvious, which Lepl easily ignored - the benefit of long practice. Despite being Officially Lost, the two of them kept heading along up and down the rolling hills, no other landmarks to be seen for miles around. Supposedly, the pair were headed due east, but the heavy blanket of dark grey clouds overhead made it impossible to check. It sadly did not, admittedly, occur to either centaur or minotaur to simply hold position until the clouds cleared - they were young, on their own for the first time ever, and eager to keep moving.

Nor did they think to look back from time to time. Otherwise, the boys might have seen the occasional flicker of motion in the tall grass, following their trail.

Eventually, at the top of yet another hill, with nothing on the horizon to guide them, Mifu sighed. “You wanna eat?”

Lepl glanced at the sky, still filled with light-blocking clouds, and nodded. He set his pack down to dig out some small tubers and dried apples, while Mifu retrieved a water skin and two pouches of oats. The pair split their supplies, settling in to munch away.

After his second apple, Lepl hummed. “Think your uncle patched that split seam before the rain hit?”

Mifu snorted. “Not likely. He probably completely forgot - right up until water started pouring in through the canvas.” They shared a chuckle at the mental image... At least before a distant rumble of thunder interrupted, causing both boys to look warily around them.

“If you say one word about not bringing a tent-”

“I won’t,” Lepl huffed. “But we’re definitely getting one first chance available.” Mifu grimaced, thinking of their limited trading materials, though he didn’t bother to argue. And then a third voice spoke up out of nowhere, causing the pair to jump.

“Why bother with a tent when there are plenty of caves?”

Later, Mifu would absolutely deny screaming when the stranger popped up right next to him, and Lepl would resolutely keep his mouth shut with his eyes pointed skyward, not saying a word about nearly falling over backwards himself. But that would be later; in the moment, a very unimpressed kitsune stared them down with folded arms.

“Really,” she said flatly, after the boys somewhat recovered their composure. “A potential attacker appears, and that’s the best response you can manage?”

“Well excuse us for being taken by surprise,” Mifu snapped back, shoulders hunched.

“Where did you even come from?” Lepl asked, warily glancing around them. The kitsune, somehow, managed to look even more unimpressed. And then she crouched, vanishing completely into the grass that - to be perfectly fair - only came up to Lepl’s hips and Mifu’s underbelly. A slight flicker in the same spot made both of them stiffen, shifting closer to each other. Then the kitsune reappeared, on the opposite side of their little tamped-down clearing, causing the pair to jump a second time.

“Now that’s just ridiculous,” she huffed. “If I’d been a slaver neither of you would have stood a chance.”

“Slavers don’t come this far north of the Border,” Mifu sniffed.

The kitsune’s expression turned abruptly incredulous. “Uh, yes, they do. There’s an Arriv trading outpost only three hours south of here.”

Both boys blinked, before shooting horrified looks at one another. “Well,” Lepl eventually said. “So much for heading east.” A half-choked snort drew their attention back to the kitsune, whose expression wavered on the boundary between dismay and disgust.

“You thought- you were going east?”

“To Mekethem City,” Mifu made himself mumble.

“Yeah, no,” she said. “Did you lose your compass or something?”

“Uh.”

Her ears flicked back and then forward again. “Ah. You didn’t bring one at all.”

“They’re expensive to make!” The centaur protested. “And it’s not like we need one when we can check our direction against Parunt’s path.” Even as he said the words, his shoulders hunched again - and the embarrassment only doubled when the kitsune made a point of tilting her head back, gaze lifted to the grey clouds overhead.

Lepl took that moment of silence to speak up again. “Um, do you have a compass?”

“Yes, and I’m not giving it up for anything-” The kitsune paused, before fixing the two of them with a sharp look. “-but that doesn’t mean we can’t share.”

The boys shifted uneasily. “Share?”

“Mmhm. I need to retrieve something from the Broken Hills, which I’m perfectly capable of doing by myself, but extra hands wouldn’t be unwelcome.”

Mifu very nearly reared back with instinctive panic. “The Hills? Those are south of the Border! You can’t just- just stroll down to pick something up!”

“Why not?” The girl set both hands on her hips, tail swishing with irritation. “Arriv slavers cross the Border without consequence-”

“Because there are military outposts behind them, perfectly willing to send reinforcements if we try to fight back!”

“So the Amkyn response should be to just pull back further and further north, effectively handing over more territory for the Arriv to claim?” Snarling, the kitsune yanked a long knife from her belt and brandished it with a flourish. “It’s past time someone scared them into retreating for a change!”

“But that’s not what you’re doing,” Lepl cut in. “Right? You said you just need to retrieve something - probably without being spotted by any Arriv.”

Russet fur smoothing back down, the girl nodded. “That’s right. A skirmish in the Broken Hills two months ago included a kitsune warrior from my home. The Arriv who won that fight kept his armor as a trophy - I’m going to get it back.”

“Armor?” Mifu couldn’t help but ask incredulously. “You’re risking your life for armor?”

“Sigil armor,” she clarified, and that. Well. That did make a difference. Mifu’s own staff was sigil-blessed, passed down from mentor to student for centuries, and if an Arriv got their hands on it... Yeah. Suddenly, making their wandering way to Mekethem City and back purely for the experience of traveling without the tribe’s numbers seemed, well, childish.

Lepl clearly thought the same, if his next words were any indication. “Where in the Broken Hills?”

“Close to the Darend River,” the kitsune replied, returning her weapon to its hidden sheath. “The Arriv armies don’t maintain a permanent base there because of the seasonal flooding, but the mobile unit that fought in the skirmish should still have a camp in the area for another few weeks. My plan is to slip south of the Border before making my way west, in order to come at them from the direction they least expect an attack.”

A terrible plan. A terrible, horrible, likely-to-result-in-death plan. But Mifu looked at Lepl, whose eyes were wide and round and pleading, and then at his staff, carved from white wood with a dozen strands of hand-painted beads tied around the curved top.

“I’m Mifu Oyatusen,” he eventually said with a sigh. “And this is Lepl Lehsano. I guess we’re your new traveling companions.”

“A pleasure.” The kitsune bared all her pointy teeth in a grin. “My name is Sana, of the Swift-Tails, and I promise to do my best not to get either of you killed.”

“Oh, thanks.”

Trials of Youth Ch1

(...so. So far my attempts to get in a good headspace to finish this book's second draft have not gone well, which means it's time to take drastic action. Hence, sharing the first handful of chapters here, and seeing if my friends having someplace to screech and ask what's next will help)

Dawn bloomed.

In the southern plains, sitting near the very top of a cottonwood tree, a girl admired how light spread across the land, transforming everything by simple use of illumination. When enough time had passed that she could see her surroundings clearly, the fourteen year old turned and looked down.

“Fren! Time to get up, lazy-bones!” A muffled grunt was the only response. Rolling her eyes, the girl started to climb downward, swiftly passing her own hammock to crouch beside the one below. With a teasing grin, she started to push at it, swinging the cloth and its inhabitant from side to side. “Frennnn.”

“Mm’up.” A hand and arm were stretched up out of the mess of blankets, before flopping back over.

“Freniden Brusan, if you don’t wake up in the next thirty seconds, I’m tipping this thing over and dumping you out of it.”

Bunched-up cloth and curly black hair were pushed aside so that her friend could direct his glare towards the girl. “You wouldn’t.”

“I most certainly would.”

“We’re twenty feet in the air, Tali!”

“Then you’ll just have to use your all-powerful wizardly talents to keep from getting injured.” She released her hold on the hammock and stood. “Now come on!”

“Alright, alright, I’m getting up,” the younger boy grumbled, kicking his blankets off and reaching for his bag, hanging from a nearby branch. “I swear, everyone in your family is a lunatic, rising at dawn and ordering other people to do the same...”

“I’m sorry, does this come as a surprise to you?” Laughing, Tali climbed back up to avoid the smelly sock Fren threw in her direction. Within a few minutes, both children had donned their outer traveling clothes and rolled up their hammocks, stuffing the bulky bundles into Fren’s enchanted satchel. Once they’d clambered back down to the ground, the wizardling pulled out some hard biscuits and dried meat for their breakfast.

“So,” he asked around a mouthful of food. “Now that we’ve successfully gotten too far from the city for your father’s search parties to find, do we have a destination in mind to start looking for this missing sister of yours?”

Tali frowned thoughtfully. “Well, much as I want to find Lillia, we could stop by your old home first, visit your family-” She stopped when Fren snorted.

“Bad idea. My relatives wouldn’t let us leave for at least the better part of a month, which I know would drive you insane.”

“It would?”

“Oh, yes. Nothing interesting ever happens in Fammon.”

“Well, fine then, if you don’t want to see your uncle and aunt and cousins, we’ll just go straight north.”

Fren raised an eyebrow. “That’s it? That’s all the great Petalia Crant can come up with?”

“That’s all we need,” Tali argued, looking ahead with a fierce expression. “We go north.”

“I’m starting to have second thoughts about running off with you...”

“Too late to change your mind now!” Tali playfully punched her friend’s shoulder, and giggled when the chubby boy pretended to stagger.

“Hey! Easy with those muscles of yours! I may have extra padding, but that doesn’t mean it won’t get bruised!”

“Oh, quit being such a whiner.”

“Bully.”

“Wimp!”

“Aquimbe!” Before Tali could blink, a spray of water caught her in the face. She spluttered, ducking away as Fren cackled. The spell ended after a moment, water spout fading back into nothing, though the girl remained very much wet.

“That,” she declared, wiping at her face with the edge of her cape, “Was so not fair.”

“Forgive me for wanting to get the upper hand just once,” Fren grinned.

The pair continued to banter as they walked on, eventually finding a road heading in the right direction. Tali checked it over for recent tracks while Fren whispered a quick scanning spell for nearby people. Neither of them found any signs of fellow travelers.

“Should we risk it?” The wizardling asked. His friend shrugged.

“May as well.”

Winding as it may have been, the road nonetheless took them north, and the pair made good time. By mid-morning, they’d covered several miles, and stopped for a water break on top of a shallow hill. When she handed back the water skin, Tali decided to climb another tree, to get a look at their new surroundings.

The girl had only gotten part way up the trunk, though, when something not too far away caught her eye.

Fren flinched as she suddenly landed beside him, fumbling the water skin and nearly dropping it. He didn’t have any time to ask what she’d seen before Tali was dashing off down the hill. Scrambling, Fren hurried after. A few minutes later, they rounded a bend in the road, and he too saw what had grabbed his friend’s attention.

A small, weather-beaten wagon was stuck, one of its front wheels trapped by a deep crack in the earth. The driver, a wrinkled old goblin, strained as she tried to pull it free without much success. Harnessed to the front of the wagon, her horse saw the two human youths first, and whinnied.

“Hello there!” Tali called, slowing her steps as she approached. “Could we offer you a hand?”

The goblin, who’d paused at her horse’s sudden warning, looked over in surprise. “I wouldn’t mind a bit if you did! I just need a tad more oomph to lift it free, I think.”

Tali immediately stepped to her side, crouching in order to get a good grip on the frame of the wagon before glancing over her shoulder. “C’mon, Fren, hurry up.”

He rolled his eyes. “Wizard student, remember? Elvitaere.” A soft yellow light sprang from the pendant tied around his left wrist, enveloping the wagon and causing it to slowly float into the air.

“Oh my,” the goblin gaped.

Huffing at her friend’s dramatics, Tali nonetheless pushed the wagon’s side, nudging it away from the hole. As soon as all four wheels were over even ground again, Fren ended the spell, letting the wagon gently set back down. The old goblin clapped her hands in delight.

“That was wonderful!” She gushed. “Saved my poor back and everything! Thank you so much, dearies.”

“You’re very welcome,” Tali said. “Is there anything else we could help you with?”

“Well, now I feel silly, but I’d emptied out everything I could to make this old hunk lighter - I don’t suppose the two of you would mind giving me a hand putting it all back, would you?”

Blinking, Fren leaned over to look at the other side of the road. Sure enough, several blankets were spread across the ground, dozens upon dozens of books and knick-knacks and other peddler’s goods piled atop them. He gave Tali a side-eyed glance, and sighed when she glared back.

“Happy to be of assistance, ma’am.”

A Ghost of a Chance: A Christmas Story for Spear-Gsun

Good afternoon, @spear-gsun, I have the honour of being your Touhou secret Santa this year! For your enjoyment, here’s a story about Mizuchi and the ladies of the Moriya Shrine. There isn’t much official characterisation for Mizuchi yet, so I took a few ideas and ran with them; I hope you like the result. ^.^

~A Ghost of a Chance~

"D'you think we should have something hot for lunch?"

"Yes, it's turned very cold all of a sudden. How about if we make soup with the rest of that bacon?"

"Sounds delicious!" Wearing a green and white apron, Sanae wandered into the Moriya Shrine's kitchen. "I'll chop while you soup, yeah?"

"You do that." Kanako strode in after her, wearing a blue apron embroidered with the charming image of two muscular warrior-women wrestling above a ferocious bear-sized frog and a poison-spitting serpent.

Kanako crounched in front of the white panelled cooker to light it, only to pause with her hand over the knob. "Actually, hold that thought."

"What's wrong?" Sanae held that thought while she held back the avalanche of plates trying to slide out of the dresser. "Aargh, come onnnn, there shouldn't be a chopping board in here in the first place...!"

Leaving Sanae to wrestle with gravity, Kanako grabbed the broom and gave the ceiling a few swift bangs. "Mizuchi! We're preparing the luncheon! Could you come down and help?!" she called.

"Mizuchi? Can she cook?" Sanae had extracted the chopping board and was now setting about some shiitake mushrooms, her knife thwacking on the wood.

"I hope so. Since it's going to be an extended stay, she really should start pitching in," Kanako explained. "Not too many of those mushrooms, Sanae."

Sanae rolled her eyes. "Oh, heaven forfend, they're three hundred yen for a bite!" she quoted, before plucking the smallest mushroom from the basket and giving Kanako a wink. "I'll add a cheap one too."

Kanako knew she should fire something back, but no witty remarks popped into her head, so instead she stuck her tongue out at Sanae. Satisfied, she got to work in front of the cooker.

Kanako soon had a saucepan bubbling soupily away, ready to receive its first dose of onions and daikon, at which point their guest finally made her appearance.

"I see you muffins made a start without me," Mizuchi said dryly as she flounced into the room, her ghost tails drifting across the floor tiles. She was not wearing an apron, because what was she, some kinda wet smack? "Certainly looks wet, whatever it is you're cooking."

Kanako stared at her. "It's soup, Mizuchi! I need you to, um..." That was a point. For what vital purpose did she require the presence of a freshly-laundered Mizuchi?

"Stir the soup, please," decided Kanako, stepping back so Mizuchi could access the saucepan.

Mizuchi drifted in front of the cooker and picked up the plate Sanae had left, piled with white daikon discs and curving slivers of onion. "Are these meant to go in?"

"Yes, slide them in there."

"Oh, be still, my beating kegare." With a bored expression, Mizuchi tilted the plate and let a small avalanche of vegetables plop into the boiling water.

"Not having fun?" Sanae was chopping a pile of cold bacon into what were supposed to be thin strips, but came out in varying shapes and thicknesses. "Do vengeful spirits do much cooking, Mizuchi? I've seen you eat hundreds of times, but you've never cooked!"

"Well, we certainly don't mind a good dinner, but we don't have to eat like you crumbs do. I used to just eat out whenever the urge came over me, see?" explained Mizuchi. "So this is pretty far outside my wheelhouse."

"Oh, you don't need to eat?" Kanako raised her eyebrows. "Then I suppose we wasted our time, making you all those delicious meals while you've been here!"

"Hey, I never said that! You put words in my..." Mizuchi scowled. "So I'm your slave now, is that the picture? I get nothing but a dog's soup unless I work my ectoplasm off all day?"

"No, I didn't mean-!" Kanako took a deep breath, holding back her frustration. "How can I explain, Mizuchi? People who aren't evil and twisted do this sort of thing for each other! If we were enslaving you, we'd have put you to work from the day you started on probation, not waited a whole week to ask for help making lunch."

Mizuchi continued scowling. This Kanako bearcat clearly thought she was better than her, and not even the smell of vegetables starting to cook was enough to sweeten that malarkey.

"You know that was an olive branch, don't you?" Sanae pointed out. "Take the branch. You could be so much more than a spirit of hate and resentment... You could be a spirit who stirs soup! It's sticking, Mizuchi! Hurry!"

With a jolt, Mizuchi stopped scowling and started stirring. A few of the radish slices were clinging to the bottom of the saucepan, but the wooden spoon pried them from its embrace, and soon Mizuchi was stirring a steady circle through the soup.

"Is that how you stir?" Kanako peered down at Mizuchi's circling spoon. "The soup gets mixed better if you stir in a figure-of-eight. It'd help the ingredients mingle."

Mizuchi stared at her. "The mind boggles. And d'you want me to breathe in a different time signature? I can do three-four, four-four or five-six, maybe six-eight? Or maybe you could mind your own business!"

=======================

"Gosh, Mizuchi, was that a smile?"

"I don't know, was it?"

"Come on, that was clearly a smile!"

"Look, just back off, frogspawn! It was an adequate soup, see? That's as far as I'm going."

"Did she like the soup?" asked a full Suwako, stopping on her way to the kitchen with a stack of empty bowls.

"She loved it!" a warm and satisfied Sanae confirmed.

With a heavy sigh, Mizuchi tapped on Sanae's head. "Empty. See? It's completely hollow."

"So..." Still smiling, Sanae brushed Mizuchi's hand aside. "Now that we've eaten, are you ready for an adventure?"

"Adventure?" Mizuchi's eyes widened. She tried not to look too excited as she regarded Sanae. "It depends. What's the low-down?"

"Well, we-"

There was a loud crash and a scream from Suwako. A couple of seconds went by, then "It's all right! They landed in the water!"

Sanae shrugged, her green hair spilling over her shoulders. "We buy most of our food here on the mountain, but we stock up on human-made stuff in the Human Village every month," she explained. "And this month's every falls on today!"

Mizuchi gasped melodramatically. "Murder! We're going shopping?! And here I thought this day couldn't get any better! Wait, did you say Human Village?"

Sanae nodded.

"Ah." Mizuchi winced. "Normally I'd blow my wig at the chance to carry your shopping home, but sadly I ain't flavour of the month in the Human Village right now."

"Why not? What did you do?" asked Suwako, wandering back into the hallway with her hat down over her eyes.

"Uh... Nothing at all, chief, and that's a Miyadeguchi guarantee! The story is, some genius's been possessing cats in the village, and the word 'possessing' in any context makes me a prime suspect. But I'm on the level, and I wouldn't wanna be a cat! Not much." Mizuchi scowled, her cheeks reddening. "Maybe a coupla days to see how it felt."

"I see," Suwako said with a smile. "I do recommend being a frog if you ever get the chance, now."

"Yeah. Right. So you can dig how it's best for all of us if I sit this one out, can't you?"

With a smile, Suwako shook her head, making her blonde hair fan out beneath her enormous wedged-on hat. "It'll be fine."

"Wh-?" Mizuchi's brow furrowed. "Weren't you listening? The villagers all think I'm possessing cats! Cat cats, not people cats, but same difference! It could turn ugly if I show my face on their patch."

"But you haven't actually been possessing cats, right? I think that's what you said," Sanae interjected with a curious look on her face. "Could you possess a cat? I mean, would you be able to if you wanted?"

Mizuchi gave her a look. "I don't know!"

"Well, Mizuchi..." Suwako said, pushing up her hat so Mizuchi could see her twinkling eyes. "As much as we'd love to have you along, no-one's forcing you to come to the village? No-one can just force you to do anything, can they?"

"No?" Mizuchi puffed out her chest. "I mean, no, no way!"

"So are you really going to let the villagers bully you out of coming shopping with us when you haven't even done anything?"

"Eeeeh...?" Mizuchi's eyes crossed for a moment. "Wh-what?! No dice! I'd never let a pack of mortal crumbs frighten me off their turf!" she exploded.

"So do you want to tag along, even though the whole world's against it?" Suwako smirked, leaving Sanae giggling with a hand clamped over her mouth.

"You shred it, wheat! No-one and nothing in the world's gonna stop me!" ranted Mizuchi,

"What's going on?" Kanako came over with the air of somebody who definitely wasn't EXPECTING trouble, but would start throwing onbashiras the very second trouble arrived.

Sanae was bent double in the throes of laughter. "It's Mizuchi," she squeaked. "She's a little bit excited about our shopping trip!"

Kanako shut her eyes and breathed a deep, heartfelt sigh. "Of course she is. Listen, Mizuchi, we want to help you become more than just an outcast- no, you DESERVE to become more than just an outcast, but that needs some effort from you as well. So I'm going to have to put my foot down. You're coming with us, as part of society, and that's final."

"...Final?" Mizuchi put her hands on her hips and glared sassily up at Kanako. "I'll tell you what's final, doll-face. I'm tagging along on your little trip for biscuits, and there's nothing you or anyone can do to stop me! Got it?!"

"Don't mistake my kindness for a soft touch, Mizuchi! If I have to, I'll-" Kanako froze in mid-berate, her gaze softening. "What did you say?"

"If I wanna go shopping, I will, and I do, so I will! If you wanna make this a problem-" Mizuchi froze in mid-berate, her gaze softening. "Did you say you WANT me to tag along?"

"Did you say you could speak Tagalog?" Kanako smiled awkwardly. "Um... Good! It's nice to see some enthusiasm from you!"

"I ain't used to being wanted! Gee, thanks." Mizuchi's smile vanished abruptly, giving way to a look of dull horror. "Wait, wh- why'd I say all that baloney? I just wanna stick it to the woman! And go shopping."

"Right... Come on, we should get ready before it starts snowing again."

=======================

It took ten seconds of walking down the corridor for our heroines to reach the front door, before which a rack of jumbled coats hung beside them and a row of footwear stood to attention on the genkan.

"It certainly looks chilly today. Do you want a coat, Mizuchi?" asked Sanae, dithering between two of hers.

Mizuchi glanced out of the window. A few snowflakes were whirling in the breeze while the sun glared out from behind dense banks of cloud, turning the ground into a bright sea of white where the light could reach. A day ripe for a haunting... Or shopping.

"Don't worry about me, kitten. My heart's already colder than ice," Mizuchi decided, although she sounded a little unsure.

"Good for you," Sanae said diplomatically. "Some of us want to keep our hearts at a comfortable thirty-seven point eight degrees Celsius, though, so please watch warmly!"

Sanae slid into her green bomber jacket and tall froggy wellies. Kanako armoured herself in a dark double-breasted trenchcoat with a red capelet and belt, followed by tall blue boots with wedge heels, three buckles on each side and images of golden snakes curling up their waterproof shafts. Suwako threw a blanket around her shoulders and laced up her trainers.

"Cute," said Mizuchi, leaning sullenly on the wall. Her own stripy white t-shirt and skirt were as comfy as ever, sitting loosely on her slender frame. "So, ladies, shall we?"

=======================

A biting cold wind nibbled our heroines as soon as they left the shrine, ruffling their clothes and chilling their noses, so they hurried across the front plaza to where the car slept with her back against the trees. They bundled into the blue 1985 Honda Today with Mizuchi and Suwako in the back, Kanako riding hakkero and Sanae in the driver's seat.

"Before we start, Sanae, the roads have been very icy recently," Kanako pointed out, sitting on her hands to warm them up. Why had she forgotten her gloves? Leather gloves were a vital part of her winter look! Anyway, "Don't treat this like another rally stage, all right?"

"Worry not, Mother, our journey shall be the smoothest car trip since Sailor Moon got her 2017 Ford Fusion!" Sanae cracked her knuckles and took hold of the steering wheels.

"Check your seat belts, everyone," said Kanako heavily.

Suwako giggled. "Mine's perfectly comfortable!"

Sanae turned the key, making the car thrum into life. It lurched forwards as she steered them across the snowy courtyard and out onto the rutted road.

"Should Sanae really be driving?" Mizuchi whispered to Suwako, even though the others could definitely hear her. "Is she kind of a lead rainboot?"

"Lead foot, yes, but unfortunately she is the only car pilot among us," Kanako said loudly.

Sanae's eyes widened. "The imposter is sus! Call an emergency meeting!" she burst out. "Sorry, couldn't resist. My feet are a perfectly healthy weight, Mizuchi, so there's no need to worry. Hold tight!"

=======================

Mizuchi held tight as they bumped down the windy mountain road, taking tight corners at a cautious pace and ploughing through frozen puddles. Snow fluttered past the steamed-up windows, but it was warming up inside the car and the slim leather seats were comfy enough. Ten minutes of driving saw them leaving Youkai Mountain and motoring across the fields below.

The Human Village was an island in the grey weather. Dozens of lamps were glowing warmly beneath cloudy skies, enough to reveal the shape of the village despite the snow blanketing everything.

Sanae drove carefully through the half-frozen mud in the north gate, waving to the confused and frightened guards. She backed the car onto comfy straw in an empty stable and turned off the engine.

"Okay, how was that? Smooth enough for you?" Sanae stretched her back, leaned over and pushed open the door. It clacked against the stable wall, leaving barely enough room for her to squeeze out.

"Very smooth, thank you. Now, er..." Kanako tried her door and relaxed when it swung all the way open. "Right, that should be fine. We'll stock up on food first, then see if we have room for any extras in the car cupboard. All right?"

"It's called the boot, but sure." Sanae smiled even though she was wedged at a tricky angle between the scratchy stable wall and the smooth automobile bodywork. With a groan of effort she ploughed through the narrow canyon and stumbled out across the snow.

Mizuchi glanced at Suwako. "Am I allowed to use that door?" she asked, pointing at the right passenger door.

Suwako shook her head, looking horrified. "No, they'll haul you in front of the automotive tribunal and have you executed for deviant vehicular disembarkment!"

"Don't confuse her, Suwako. You can use whichever door you want, Mizuchi, as long as it's open," Kanako reassured her. "Although, actually, wouldn't you be able to pass through walls since you're a ghost?"

"I can," confirmed Mizuchi. "But it feels like my skin's full of gelato sliding around like... How can I put it? You know when you rub against something smooth?"

"Oh, yes! I certainly have experienced that once or twice!" said Sanae, peeking in through the boot.

Mizuchi raised an eyebrow at her. "Well, it feels like that, but all the way through you."

"Coooool!" breathed Sanae. "And is it different for different substances? Like, does phasing through bricks feel different from phasing through wood or metal or, or...?"

=======================

The discussion about ghost biology continued while Kanako led her retinue through the snowy village. They crunched through snow and slush, or in Mizuchi's case floated over it, passing well-wrapped villagers on their way to this and that.

First on the agenda was Hideyoshi and Son's kosher butcher's shop. They turned onto a wide road about halfway along the high street, but before they reached the familiar triangle of painted wooden signs offering delicious cuts of meat, a furious teenage girl ran out to confront them.

"You!" the bespectacled girl yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Mizuchi. "When are you going to answer for what you've done?!"

Mizuchi grit her teeth. "Oh... Just peachy, it's the little book girl," she growled. "Listen, you dizzy little doll, I don't know what your beef is-"

Kanako nudged Mizuchi, silencing her. Mizuchi scowled, but stayed quiet as Kosuzu halted in front of them, a five-foot-one tower of rage.

"Every cat in the village is in a blue funk thanks to you!" Kosuzu accused. "I don't know what you did or how you did it, but you must have done it! And look!"

To the growing bemusement of those watching, Kosuzu turned around and picked something up. Staggering under the heavy weight, she turned back to reveal a limp, glassy-eyed Akyuu cradled in her arms.

Sanae gasped. "The Child of Miare is your cat?!"

"Just look what you've done to Akyuu!" ranted Kosuzu, glaring daggers at Mizuchi with sweat rolling down her youthful face. "Another victim of the cat Incident, and she isn't even a cat!"

"Oh, my mistake," said Sanae.

"Listen, lady, I'm not the villain in this picture. I haven't possessed your filly or any cats, I'm telling you!" With a nervous laugh, Mizuchi looked around at her companions. "You guys believe me, right? I've been toeing the line all week! Not necessarily with my big toe, but at the very least... I don't got any toes, do I? Damn it!"

"It's all right, Mizuchi. We believe you." Kanako gave Mizuchi a pat on the shoulder, for once not getting an angry glare in return, and addressed Kosuzu with calm sensibility. "Nobody wants to see their fiancé get cursed, Miss Motoori, but being upset doesn't give you the right to blame the first vengeful spirit you see. Do you understand how you might have been too harsh?"

"But she's possesed people before!" Kosuzu plonked Akyuu down in the snow and continued to argue frantically. "Mizuchi brought Gensokyo to the brink of ruin, apparently! Who else is there who can possess peoeple?!"

"Mima?" suggested Kanako.

"Another ghost?" suggested Sanae.

"Well, yes, but... Akyuu's been like this for days! She doesn't eat, she doesn't sleep, she doesn't do anything! Someone has to take responsibility for it!" Kosuzu continued.

"Hmmm... Is that so?" Suwako folded her arms and regarded Kosuzu coolly. "Seventy-twelve and a half percent of disasters in the Human Vilage over the last six years have been caused by you, Kosuzu, reading a cursed book or waking up some tricksy youkai. Why should we believe you didn't curse Akyuu by Akyuucideeeh... I mean by accident?!"

Kosuzu's jaw dropped. "Wha... WHAT?! How could you say that?! Akyuu's my dearest sweetheart! How could you blame me just because I-! I sometimes-!" Kosuzu's voice caught in her throat. "Did you... Did you really not do this, Mizuchi? But... I- I'm sorry, I was so worried about her! It's like she's dead even though she's clearly still alive."

Kosuzu sank to her knees behind Akyuu, exhausted of anger and brimming over with tears. "They've all given up, her retainers and guardians... They think it's time for- for a new Child of Miare! But I know she has years more to go."

"Oh, Kosuzu..." whispered Mizuchi. She could feel a weird ache where her heart used to be and it was not a pleasant sensation. "You're just dizzy with that little tomayto, aren't you?"

"I- I don't understand. Akyuu isn't a vegetable!" said Kosuzu, clinging to Akyuu's non-plant-based shoulders while she stared in disbelief.

"Tomatoes are fruits," Sanae pointed out.

"Um... To tell you the truth, I haven't been bold enough to ask if she's one of those." Kosuzu blew her nose on Akyuu's baggy sleeve. "She's behaving just like the cats who were posessed, sitting in one place all day... I don't know what to do."

A heavy silence fell over the snowy road. Mizuchi realised with a jolt of panic that she'd been feeling sympathy- sympathy, of all things! It was unthinkable for a vengeful spirit, yet she'd thought it. So concerned was Mizuchu that she failed to notice Kanako and Suwako sharing a long, meaningful look.

"Sorry, Kosuzu," Kanako said after a few seconds. "We all know how much Akyuu means to you, butt here doesn't seem to be anything we can do. Suwako and I are warriors, Mizuchi clearly isn't an option and as for Sanae, she didn't bring anything for a healing ritual."

Sanae suddenly seemed very interested. "Oh, actually, I could try to heal her-"

Suwako nudged Sanae in the hip. "No, no," she said urgently. "You were veeeery clear before we left about how you didn't bring your paraphernalia for exorcising an evil spirit or curing a curse-related illness, because you probably wouldn't need it in the human village, right?"

"Um, wrong! I can totally give her-" Sanae's brain caught up with her mouth, eliciting a gasp of realisation. "Oh. Ohhh, right, silly me! I used up all my third- and fourth-level spell slots! All I have left is Healing Word," she said slowly. "Which means, regrettably, I cannot do a blessed thing for poor little Akyuu. What a tragedy!"

Kosuzu was staring at her in horrified fascination. "Are you just taking the piss now?! Because this isn't funny!"

"No, Kosuzu, I promise no piss is being taken." Winking at Kosuzu, Kanako took Sanae and Suwako by their hands. "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do-"

"Not so fast, chief. I might be able to do, uh, something."

All eyes except Akyuu's turned to Mizuchi, who looked surprised to have heard her own words.

"I mean, uhh..." Mizuchi cleared her throat. "I'm a ghost, as you can see. And even though I didn't do anything to this kitten, I could help her, potentially."

"Mizuchi, what are you saying?!" cried Suwako.

"I'm saying... I must be totally loco, but I'm saying I could un-possess her." It was too late to change her mind, so Mizuchi took a deep breath and launched into her explanation. "You can hold a finger of giggle juice in your mouth without swallowing, right? Then maybe I could possess someone without draining their energy, or even give them some of mine! Gods know it ain't a sure shot, but it could work."

"Ain't a sure shot?" Kosuzu's eyes were wide with fear. "You want to cure Akyuu's possession by possessing her?! That's like curing a headache by bonking someone on the head with a mallet!"

"It sounds much too risky," Kanako said grimly, her brow furrowing. "I'm sure you want to help, Mizuchi, but possessing her again can't possibly make anything better!"

"It can!" Mizuchi was fired up now, backing up her argument with wild hand gestures. "Things that get done can get done in reverse, see? Like untying a knot or squeezing out a sponge! Sanae could save Akyuu if she had her spell slots, whatever those are, so why not me?! Why not possess a girl backwards?!"

"Because you'd be risking an innocent girl's life for something you don't even know is going to work! I'm sorry, Mizuchi, but I won't allow it," Kanako said firmly.

Mizuchi simmered for about five seconds before responding. "Until now, I thought you were the good kind of selfish broad who makes it her business to look after everyone else. But no, you're just an Abercrombie who thinks she's queen of the freaking world!" She spat at Kanako's feet and turned away, her fists clenched in front of her chest. "Gimme the all-clear, Kosuzu, and I'll fix your little miss!"

"Wh-wha-?!" Kosuzu's mouth fell open in horror. She was about to say something unprintable when she noticed Kanako and Suwako, both looking right at her and nodding furiously over Mizuchi's shoulders.

"U-um..." Kosuzu bit her lip. "You can try it?"

Mizuchi's eyes widened, then she came out in a manic grin. "All right! You're about to see the world's first unpossession!"

"Mizuchi, don't do this!" Kanako stepped forward, her arm reaching out for her defiant ward. "Think, you imbecile! If you end up harming her while you're on probation, there could be dire consequences! Reimu might not spare your undeath a second time."

"Oh, so I get the kiss-off for tryna save someone's life?" Mizuchi laughed bitterly. "Sounds fair. I'll drag that shrine moron to Hell behind me if she wants! Stay outta my way!"

Without another word, Mizuchi turned and lunged towards Akyuu. Kosuzu dove onto the snowy ground with a scream. Mizuchi became a whirlwind of steam and light, pouring into Akyuu's round nose like steam from a kettle going the wrong way. Akyuu's eyes flashed red, then she stood up with a strangled gasp.

"G-get me a drink!" Akyuu stumbled forwards on unsteady legs, moving stiffly and jerkily like a puppet in need of some oil. "This girl's throat feels like a pile of cinder blocks! And gods, her tummy's going nuclear in here!"

"Mizuchi, is that you?!" cried Sanae. There was no mistaking the absurd jumble of American words and Chicago gangster slang spluttering out of Akyuu's normally gentle mouth. "I- I brought some cereal bars! Will they do?"

"She needs a drink first! Fortunately..." Kanako pulled a thermos flask from under her coat. She unscrewed the lid and poured out a measure of steaming green tea, which she held out to the purple-haired girl.

"Thanks, chief!" Mizuchi, piloting Akyuu deftly, took the cup-lid and gulped down the liquid within. Akyuu's elegant throat bobbed wildly as she swallowed. "Ahhh, that... That's kippy."

"Akyuu... No, Mizuchi, are you... Is she..." Her clothes damp with snow, Kosuzu took Akyuu's small hands in a tender grasp. "Are you all right? She'd better be all right, Mizuchi!"

"Relax, doll-face. Whatever funk this little number was in, it's no match for the Jailbreak King!" Mizuchi laughed proudly and coughed miserably. "Bloomers on toast, this body's Joed. She needs about fifty of those cereal bars and a week dossing in bed."

Kosuzu squeaked delightledly. "Ohhh, what a relief! Thank you so much, Mizuchi!" she cried, dancing with joy. "When can you give her back?! Do you need to stay in there for a while?"

"She should be okay, emphasis on 'should'. But lemme get one of these inside her first," said Mizuchi, beckoning Sanae over.

Mizuchi took the proffered cereal bar and tucked in, chewing the paper wrapper with a scowl. "Thish shtuff'sh overrated," she growled, forcing down the last bite. "Okay, little Akyuu can have her body back now. I'm giving her my energy, enough to stay on her feet for a few hours anyway. Here we go!"

Mizuchi, or Akyuu, clamped her hands over the sides of her head and let out a long, low scream. Abruptly she looked up to the sky and blew out a cloud of steam, which broiled and shook in midair for a moment before coalescing into Mizuchi.

Kanako, Sanae and Suwako cheered while Mizuchi slumped wearily against the wall. Kosuzu grabbed Akyuu as she staggered backwards, blinking blearily in the faint afternoon sun.

"K-Kosuzu?" breathed Akyuu, peering up at her as best she could. "You carried me."

"It's all right, Akyuu! I've got you!" Kosuzu spun Akyuu around and kissed her on both cheeks. "Oh, Akyuu... I was so worried! I thought you'd be like that forever!"

"And the day is saved." Mizuchi's clothes were rumpled and her hair all over the place, but she wore a proud smile as she floated towards them. "Hieda no Akyuu, how are we feeling?"

"I was so cold..." groaned Akyuu, leaning on Kosuzu and holding her tight. "I wanted to move so desperately, I was screaming at myself from within, but my body refused to listen! Then she..."

"You're safe now, Akyuu." Kosuzu wept with relief. "M- Mizuchi, thank you so much! And you!" She looked up at the proud Kanako and Suwako, standing on the other side of the road with a confused Sanae. "Now I understand why you were encouraging me to say yes while Mizuchi couldn't see you!"

Kanako and Suwako's smiles vanished. They shared a brief guilty look before bracing themselves for the worst.

"I beg your pardon?" Mizuchi turned around slowly, brushing a strand of hair off her forehead, and whispered the sheepish goddesses her question. "What did the snappy young bookseller just say?"

"Right, Mizuchi, I should perhaps mention one or two things now," Kanako tried to stay on top of the situation. "Suwako's idea was about uncovering the real you, seeing whether you'd do the right thing even if it might come at a cost, and she convinced me to go along with it- OW!"

Suwako withdrew her foot from Kanako's bruised shin. "Sorry, Mizuchi, but we had to see if you were making progress. So when we saw this situation with Akyuu, we decided to give you a little push in the right direction. Except we made it look like a push in the wrong direction... You see?"

Mizuchi glared at her for a few more moments, then she burst out laughing. "Oh, for the love of rainbows! Reverse psychology?!" she scoffed. "Well, joke's on you, I only did the 'right thing' 'cause I felt like it... Wh-which doesn't mean I'm nice!"

"Don't say that! You are nice, Mizuchi." Kosuzu took Mizuchi's hand and smiled up at her. "You're a hero! You saved Akyuu's life!"

"Guh?!" Mizuchi could hardly bear such a radiant smile. Akyuu was up on her plates, leaning on a bollard and looking fine thanks to the magic of tea, cereal bars and...

"Damn it, I was kind, wasn't I? Well, fine, get your snaps! Extra, extra, read all about it! Vengeful spirit turns out to be capable of upstanding behaviour... Big deal." Mizuchi stuck out her tongue. "Can we go shopping now?"
