> "Wait! I'm not here to fight! I'm here to talk!"

>"I'm not falling for that again!" says Reimu, as the group pulls up into proper danmaku range.
>"Reimu, let's let her speak," says Marisa, giving her companion a concerned look. 
>"That's easy for you to say," Reimu says, "You got Biggun there to hide behind when she starts throwing kunai bullets. I hate kunai bullets!"
>"We all hate kunai bullets, Reimu," says Sanae.
>"Fine!" Reimu shouts, throwing her hands up, then looks at you. "What?"

> "Lady Yukari was... sleep walking, or gapping, whichever you wish to call it, and in trying to get her back to bed, i was gapped here to Makai. I learned that a woman named Hijiri was likely sealed in this direction, and at the request of a, Shou I believe was her name, I decided to see if I could help unseal Hijiri."
> "To be honest, I kinda just wanna go home, have a nice bath, and then a long nap."

>You draw closer to the group. They all look rather beat up, especially the big woman leaning on Marisa.
>"Yep," says Marisa. "This is Byakuren."
>"Um, hello," the other large woman mumbles.
>"Don't worry about her," Marisa says. "She just got danmaku'd up pretty good."
>"Not that I'd ever call that spellcard good," Reimu says with a snort.
>"Oh, you're just jealous at how many crazy faeries it can deal with at once." Marisa answers with a smile.
>Reimu snorts again. "There's a reason I've not used the Youkai Buster since Kanako settled down, you know."
>"I kinda liked that spellcard," says Sanae, frowning.
>"Yeah, of course you would," Reimu replies. "You were on the receiving end. Probably felt like a poet punching you." Reimu then looks back to you. "Anyways, you mentioned two elemental witches? I think I know who you're talking about. Those two were a pain. And...you said sleep gapping?"
>You quickly explain what you mean by it.
>"Yukari can do that?" Marisa asks. "Reimu, Sanae, I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep for awhile."
>"Yeah, that's kinda unsettling," Reimu agrees. "But I'm with a Ran, a nap and a bath would be nice right about now."
>"Um," says Byakuren, looking toward you  "When you say Yukari, are you talking about a skinny blonde youkai, who teleports and has a penchant for voyeurism and pickpocketing?"
>...That sounds disturbingly right. Though you wouldn't call someone as well-rounded as Yukari skinny by any means, and you've never seen her pickpocket. As for voyeurism, well, you've never caught her, but you wouldn't put it past her...

>"I suppose it is a coincidence, then. And no, I am afraid I don't," says Byakuren. "From what Miss Kirisame tells me, there's been a calander change or two since then. But, I imagine it's been for quite a few centuries."

>"Hmm. Maybe it is the same one, then? I suppose I'll find out soon enough. Regardless, it is a pleasure to meet you."
>You've lost count of how long it's been. A couple centuries, at least.
>The five of you are nearing the edge of the sealed region now. You see no signs of Yuki or Mai, or anyone else really.

>"Hey," says Reimu. "Moon Incident? That was for you guys. The Kanako incident? What with the Tengu and the Kappa getting agitated? Little respect, please"
>Sanae frowns at the mention of the latter incident.

> "I just remembered!  Before I was attacked by those witches, I was following a ball of light that seemed to be somewhat sentient.  I don't suppose you four have seen anything resembling it?"

>"Oh I hate that thing!" Sanae says, scrunching her face in disgust. "It's such a pain! All you could really do was wait until it got sick of you and runs off!"
>"Yeah, we saw it, right before we met Biggun," says Reimu. "And on that ship."
>"Hey, don't call me that..." Byakuren says, giving Reimu a hurt look.
>"It flew off somewhere, I have no idea where," says Marisa.

>"As long as it's out of my hair, it's welcome to stay in Makai," says Reimu. "Speaking of which, you're gonna be able to charge up that ship, right Biggun?"
>Byakuren sighs, and sensing she's not going to win that battle, nods.

>"Not so rare," Reimu says, "given you're in the village buying tofu every so often. And I sure don't see anyone chasing the faeries and Rumia out of school."
>"Really?" Byakuren asks, looking between Reimu and you.

>The sighs of relief that Marisa and Reimu give in response to that frankly make your ears bristle a bit.  Yukari's not that bad. When she's not drinking. Or in a mood...
>"So, um, you knew Yukari?" Sanae asks Byakuren. The woman nods in response. "Did the two of you get along?"
>"Hmmm, in a sense, if we speak of the same person" says Byakuren. "She tried to rob me a few times. I could catch her pretty easily. She wasn't a bad person, just a little self-centered and prone to ignore others. But she didn't really have much malice in her heart. We spoke a few times."
