The Touhou RPG

Were you really going to fight?

Yukari asks.

Marisa blushes slightly, but keeps smiling.

"...Do you like him?"

I like both of you. He is nice. But you are nice too. Plus, I can't just leave you like this...

Marisa nods.

That would be nice for a change, ze.

Alex finally stands. He begins to walk at a slow pace. Remilia smiles, and then looks over to Alex briefly.

Alex, where are you going?

Alex shrugs, as he turns to face them.

Dunno... A place where I'm not hated for what happened here, maybe.

"Does that mean, You dont like me.... how I love you?"

I do love you Nedus...I just feel sorry for him is all.

Marisa sighs.

Hey..."Alex" I don't hate you.

Nedus hugs Yukari "I just dont want to leave you..."

Well, that's good... But I'm still pissed at myself for getting manipulated so easily, and I made things worse for Yukari. I just feel like an ass. I don't know, maybe I just need to sit and think.

Well, umm...Yukari kinda deserves this once in a while.

Marisa says, trying to make him feel a bit better...Though that probably isn't helping.[/color]

Just promise me you will never hurt anyone innocent...

"I promise"

She's not perfect... But if Nedus is like I think he is... Even she doesn't deserve that. Look, thanks for trying to help Marisa... But I just need to get my mind onto something else. I appreciate it, really.

Good.

Yukari hugs Nedus.

Ehh...I screwed up, huh?

Nedus smiles

Yukari smiles too.

Hey Remilia, do you have anything to eat? Im kinda hungry.

"Just... Can you spend more time with us? Me and Aki..."

Of course, Sakuya should be able to prepare something for you.

Remilia replies, she seemed to be glad that the situation was slowly turning for the better.

Yukari and Nedus would feel the slight tingle of danger. Not immediate to them, but...

Alex finally sits down next to the Misty Lake.

This is just perfect... I know I made her upset, I should have just kept my mouth shut!

He sighs, frustrated. He heard footsteps behind him.

Hm?

You love her, don't you?

He tensed slightly, but did not draw his blade.

.... Yes.

I can relate to that. A hopeless situation, a love that will never see light...

The figure steps forward, sitting down.

"...Yukari, please stay at the Phantom Realm, I want you to remain safe. no one can hurt you there"

Marisa smiles.

I will stay there Nedus...Just...Allow me to visit Gensokyo some times, okay?

"Hurry, I sense something" Nedus opens the portal to his realm

You speak like you know...

The Figure smiles.

Of course. What would you do to hold her in your arms? Would you kill a hundred men? A thousand?

It's not my place... She already has someone.

The Figure chuckles, and then floats, staring Alex in the eye while 'laying' in the air.

Ah, but who said it was not your place? You know who that someone is. A monster, a disgusting creature. You know exactly what fate awaits Yukari, because it has happened to your Family. Can you truely claim to have a clean conscience, leaving her to that?

...... How do you know of that?

The Figure smirks.

Because I know you, I can read you like an open book. You and I? We are alike.

Yukari enters the portal.

You want to hold her, love her, because no one else will -- No one else can. You want to save her. And I know just the way that you can...

I...

Shhh... Trust me, this will all work out...
