Youkai Miko Familiar: The New Hakurei Mage

Chapter 1

A New Hakurei

Former human Kirisame Marisa was not sure what sight she should be expecting as she slowly flew up the stairs towards the Hakurei Shrine- or where the Hakurei Shrine used to be. For one, there wouldn't be a shrine there. She was not even sure if there would ever be a shrine there again. It certainly was not worth to have a Hakurei Shrine anymore, especially after that stunt the human village and Lunarians pulled on Reimu and Gensoukyo.

Even half-way up the mountain she could hear the cheers from the celebration at the human village. Spineless traitors, all of them. Marisa cursed in her mind, contemplating whether she should master spark the human village from where she floated. The human village was barely the size of her Hakkero from her sight, however she knew for certain she could easily raze the village to the ground from where she floated. Collateral damage Keine be damned. She probably would survive the master spark anyway so no worries.

Something stirred at the corner of her view, distracting her from the appealing thought of destroying the worthless human village. Looking up the long flight of stairs, Marisa whistled in awe of all the bodies left barely alive on the ground. She would be happier if they were the village people but alas they weren't, they'd know better than to visit the Hakurei Shrine then and ever in the future. No, these beings that lay helplessly on the stairs were of a superior existence. Marisa could even recognise some of them for she fought them just a day ago. They were shinigami, gods of death sent by the Yama to receive souls of the dead. She was just a human then so she didn't manage to defeat them. However she would be looking forward to fight them in her current form the next time, though probably after Eiki Shiki Yamaxanadu finally cooled off. She wouldn't be surprised if the Yama would appear right then to end Marisa by her own hands.

"Oh she will come for you herself eventually." A familiar voice made Marisa turned around. She recognised this shinigami, or rather she did not even know any other shinigami aside Komachi personally. "She is too busy working with the other Yama and calling for outsiders' help to repair the havoc you wrecked yesterday. Even then she has to work on arranging the old and new souls to where they were supposed to go. It'd be a long time before she gets the chance to pay you a Yama visit."

"Heh, I sure did a number on hell didn't I? Madam Mima would be so proud of me." Marisa grinned. "My impending doom aside, what happened to you? Last I checked you were out collecting human, youkai and Lunarian souls up the Youkai mountain. Base on what I heard, those were a lot of souls there."

"Because of you dang it!" Komachi scowled, then she sighed and laid herself on the soft grass beside the stairs. Her body hurt all over the place and she just wanted to not move at all. "She is at where the shrine was. Why don't you ask from her?"

Marisa smirked. "Enjoy your rest now. You won't get another one for a long time until all this mess is cleaned up."

"Don't remind me...just go already."

"Ok ok. See ya."

Marisa was excited. Broken shinigami are not what Marisa expected to be on her way up the Hakurei stairs. However this only meant one thing.

Reimu is back!

Up on the top of the Hakurei mountain laid where the Hakurei Shrine once was. The Hakurei shrine had been a strategic target and was razed to the ground by the Lunarians as soon as they had arrived. The fact that it was at such a vulnerable position, unguarded by anyone compared to the Youkai mountain left little question why the place was targeted first. Unlike Tenshi and Yukari, the Lunarians made sure to left no remains, not even a splinter of wood was spared to keep in memory of the old shrine.

However said barren place where the Hakurei Shrine once had been was not deserted. In fact the place was filled with youkai and fairies sleeping all over the place. It was as though the Hakurei Shrine had held a pajamas party over the night. Even though it was a bare place, different groups of them took a part of the place and slept in their own sleeping equipment.

Towards where the Hakurei Shrine once stood was a huge tree in its place. Even though there were tiny beds inside the fairy-homed tree, the three fairies never had the strength to make it in. The three fairies, Luna Child, Star Sapphire and Sunny Milk were curled up to each other and asleep against the tree. A little bit beside them slept Alice Margatroid, who had leaned against the big tree. Her sentient dolls Hourai and Shanghai slept on both of her shoulders respectively, each holding an end of the blanket over Alice to keep the master as warm and comfortable as possible.

A little more to the sides of the shrine then slept the infamous team nineball. The five members of the team looked the most worn out as compared the other residents. Wriggle and Mystia slept on top of a tree with Cirno and Daiyousei under them. A little before Cirno and Daiyousei slept the darkness youkai Rumia herself. She had been watching over her friends but eventually she also lost against the building fatigue in her and has been sleeping ever since.

To the entrance of the shrine, it was occupied by the Scarlet Devil Mansion's family. Hong Meiling was asleep standing, leaning against an upright pillar of the Torii shrine gate. Leaning and sleeping against the same pillar was Izayoi Sakuya who rest on the ground instead. Beside them under a tree's shade were Patchouli Knowledge and her familiar Koakuma, where Patchouli slept with her head on Koakuma's lap. Koakuma's hand that had been caressing Patchouli's head laid rested on her forehead when she dozed off. Beside them was a small mattress squeezed by the two Scarlet sisters. Remilia and Flandre cuddled with each other as they slept. Remilia's expression that of relief while Flandre's was that of shyness and happiness for being able to sleep close with her sister again.

It was a cute and heartwarming sight. It was hard for anyone to imagine that these peacefully sleeping girls fought against the Lunarian Armada and have helped to save Gensoukyo just the day before.

A lone figure stood awake over the others. Without a sound she slowly took blankets from the fairy-homed tree and covered each person without one. Just after she used a long blanket to cover the three fairies together, she felt a new presence charging up towards the entrance. It would be a next moment that the intruder would burst through and enter the place.

Another Shinigami? That simply wouldn't do. There are ladies here who deserve their beauty sleep after all.

An array of black and white light burst from the girl's back and she already crossed the shrine to the entrance. With enhanced youkai reflex the girl dodged a broom and struck with her Gohei. She knew she'd miss and thus tackled the intruder, bracing against her to the sky and a suitable distance away from disturbing the Hakurei residents' sleep.

What was a tackle with the speed of a meteor then began to slow down. The intruder wrapped her arms around her, as her own also did without her realizing. The two closed their eyes when they dived into the clouds but remained lock with each other in deep embrace. A burst of wind greeted them when they emerged from the clouds. Flying above the clouds where there's only the black sky above and sea of white clouds below, the two simply enjoyed each other's presence. They had not seen each other fully, however mere vision would not be able to bar two greatest friends from recognizing each other through touch and presence alone.

The intruder held her head back to face the girl. Although her tears betrayed her and coursed down her cheeks, she managed to muster the best smile for her greatest friend.

"Welcome back Reimu."

Reimu held the intruder's arm and tightened her hold. Feeling her best friend in her grasp, Reimu tearfully smiled.

"Marisa I am back."

"I see that Alice and Remilia are successful with their spell. I never really thought your appearance would change so much from it." Marisa said. Her eyes occasionally looked down to check out Reimu's new look.

The most significant and attractive difference in Reimu was with her new hair. From slick black her hair seemed to have been purified to become pure white instead. Her white hair amplified her white miko clothes and made her seems holier and more gorgeous before. Aside from the hair, her eyes has also turned crimson, a likely side-effect of minor vampirism from Remilia's blood.

"I guess you are a half vampire half doll now?" Marisa continued.

"You actually left out Sunny, Luna and Star just now. The fairies represented the will and condition of Gensoukyo. It was also through their wishes and blessings that Gensoukyo gave me a second chance in this world." Reimu smiled in reminiscence. She never thought those annoying pranksters would become her neighbour family, and even be the ones who granted her a second chance in life. She was fortunate to have them with her. "Alice and Remilia did not revive me. In literal terms Gensoukyo gave me and my body a second chance. I do have vampire blood and hence some vampire tendencies but I am not one. Gensoukyo felt the youkai and fairies' faith. That's why I am no longer a human Hakurei but a Youkai Miko now."

"Youkai Miko Hakurei Reimu, the youkai exterminator. I could get use to that."

"I'd hope you don't remind me of that much." Reimu groaned. "My ancestors must be turning in their graves knowing that their bloodline has just come to an end the most sinful way possible. My god must be fuming now."

Marisa chuckled. "You don't even have a god."

"I am a miko. I am supposed to have one, or at the very least act like having one to gather faith."

"For all the youkai faith jokes I made before, I never really believed that it was possible. For youkai faith to be heard and granted, by Gensoukyo itself no less."

"You stormed hell, utterly wrecked the Yama's office to the ground, released all the spirits in hell to find mine and kicked the Yama in the face. Last I heard from Komachi, the Yama is going to come for you herself. Please don't tell me you didn't believe in the plan at all but did it anyway."

"I'd go and pick a fight with the outside world's heaven for you. Besides even if it didn't work, there are other ways to revive someone as long as you have the soul." It's not bad to know I get to have you all for myself too.

For that split second, Reimu felt something grasped her. It was not her literal body, nevertheless she felt it clearly, someone had held her that it felt as though being violated. The discomfort disappear as sudden as she felt it. Her mind quickly made her forgot the whole thing to protect what's left of her sanity.

Reimu then noticed that Marisa was scrutinizing her whole figure with sharp eyes. Reimu gulped, she was not sure what she was afraid of. "Wha-What's wrong?"

"When I passed by some of the youkai and fairies, they were calling you the Mystical White Angel." Marisa held a lock of Reimu's straight hair and grazed her fingers over it. "Now that I can see you up close, I understand that an angel has indeed descended upon Gensoukyo."

"It's just white hair... even Momiji and Youmu have it." Reimu looked away, her cheeks faintly pink from the complement. "This white hair is just a side-effect by new self. I should find color dye to paint them black again."

"It's different when it's on you, Reimu." Marisa played with Reimu's hair up close, where the white hair trends began to stand out from Reimu's fumed red face. "You look mystical with long white hair. I will miss these white hair dearly if you were to dye them."

Marisa held a lock of Reimu's white hair and brought it to her lips. Reimu shivered from her hair to her brain. Marisa was never this romantic! In the first place they were just best friends!

"Fla-Flattery is unbecoming of you Marisa!" The embarrassed Reimu stuttered. "You never praised me like this so don't use flattery now!"

"All I have said is what I truly see in you Reimu." Marisa chuckled. "I had never praised you that way because I was embarrassed."

"Then why now? Sure we won the war and my looks changed..."

"Because I am no longer human, I don't feel restricted by mundane embarrassments and morals anymore." Marisa spreaded out her hands, her mouth curled up into an evil grin much like her long-disappeared master's. "I am the Madam Marisa! Evil Spirit of the Hakurei Shrine and I am going to haunt you and your descendants forever~!"

Reimu rubbed her temples. She has her suspicion the moment she saw Marisa's new form but she didn't want to admit it. In fact it was blatantly obvious Marisa became an evil spirit, humans and youkai magicians simply do not become legless and hovered in mid air.

Other than turning into a youkai, she even caused her best friend to become an evil spirit for her. She is the greatest shame of the Hakurei, if she can even be counted as a Hakurei now that is.

"Just how did that happen... ...where's your physical body? It needs a resting place at least.

"That body? The Yama was pretty pissed off after I stepped on her face. She called down a pillar of light and vaporized me. My soul has became the Evil Spirit I am now but the body is gone. Not a trace of it left."

Reimu groaned. "I can't even give my best friend's body a proper burial. Can this day get any worse?"

It can. It's right behind you.

Reimu's eyes widen. She was there when the Lunarians sealed her away, to make sure she would be barely alive to maintain the Hakurei Barrier. The Lunarians wanted her to despair, to force her watch helplessly how Gensoukyo would get violated and conquered by the superior Lunarians. Even after defeating the Lunarian Invasion Fleet, she still has not idea how to save her.

Yet, this was clearly her voice behind her.

"Yukari!" Reimu detached from Marisa and snapped back. She expected to see a gap right behind her, with Yukari herself leaning out of it. However she was wrong.

Being former Hakurei she could feel it, the gap she was seeing was not Yukari's. This was a portal that had forcefully ripped through the weaken Hakurei Barrier to open up before her. This portal was calling for her and it would not go until it caught its target.

Void-lish tentacles sprouted from the portal and took hold of her arms and legs. She could try and rip herself out of the portal but she feared the consequences. She could feel the drain this portal was doing to the Hakurei Barrier. She has no way to vanquishing this portal and if something were not done soon, the Hakurei Barrier would collapse.

"What's wrong, Reimu? Do you need help with it?"

Reimu looked back and Marisa's puzzled expression. If it was possible, she wished that she could spend more time with Marisa. However even if she was no longer a human miko, she still has the responsibility to do what a Hakurei would have done.

"Looks like I will be gone for a while." Reimu smiled regretfully. "Tell Remi and the others I love them and I will be back home soon."

Marisa frowned. "What do you mean by that? Wait! Don't go!"

Marisa reached out to catch Reimu back but she was not strong enough. The portal closed down on Reimu, not sparing the evil spirit's hand that had latched on to its target's shoulder and vanished. By the time Marisa regenerated back her missing hand, Reimu was gone from Gensoukyo.

To have summoned a portal that could rip through the Hakurei Barrier, even if it was at its weakest, was no easy feet. It would take someone probably as powerful as Yukari to achieve that. Worse, said summoner could have been spying on Gensoukyo the entire time, waiting for it to be at its weakest before he could abduct me with Gensoukyo as his hostage. Heck I would not be surprised if it was another Lunarian or Madam Mima herself. With the safety of Gensoukyo at stake and Yukari sealed, I might have to take the matter into my own hands.

If the summoner proved to be a threat to Gensoukyo, I would have to exterminate him myself.

So imagine my surprise when explosion greeted my face the moment I dropped out of the portal. The only thing stopping me from going [Fantasy Heaven] to maim the suspicious summoner was my Hakurei instinct. The explosion was so weak that it could barely kill a human, much less my current youkai self.

Even though my vision was obscured by the smoke, I could tell there were quite a number of... 'humans with weak magic' around me. These people were stronger than the village humans but far weaker than Marisa when she was still human. Apprentices or grunts perhaps. They would not pose any problem.

What would really raise my concern was the other three unique individuals, two before me and another further away from the grunt crowd. As the smoke slowly faded away, I could make out the looks of the three.

The witch furthest away was a short blue haired girl reading a book with a big blue winged lizard at her side. Said girl lowered her book when our eyes met. It was filled with curiosity but without ill intention. She is someone like Patchouli then? Her gaze then lowered to her book, as though she was bored of me already.

I could still tell she was watching me. It may be more out of civil manners that she chose not to stare at me. You can never underestimate those book girls. They may act well mannered and elegant but give them the permission they will touch your body all over to get to know what they want. The last time when I was drunk at Remilia's party, I joked to Patchouli that I'd give her the chance to research my Hakurei powers so that I could find out more about that. After that I took three days to break out of the library, another two to actually break out of SDM. It certainly does not help when Marisa and Alice decided to help Patchouli FOR MAGIC. I even have to fight both Remilia and Flandre at once, the first to convince me to join the Scarlet family as the red-white miko and the latter for chaos.

...No, I definitely was not bribed by a certain maid with very good and delicious food to stay longer. It was just that hard to break out of SDM. Really.

By the time I broke out of my thought, the smoke has fully faded. Before me stood the two other individuals that put me on my guard. The one standing a little to the side was a bald full-fledged wizard. Even if this wizard was good at acting as a kind magician, he couldn't hide the scent of burnt flesh and blood radiating so strongly from him. The scent was faint probably because he hadn't killed for a long time. Nevertheless I gripped my gohei with caution. He may have turned a new leaf to become a better man but his movements and breathing betrayed the fact he was a trained fighter.

I felt a sharp pain on my lips. Oops. I calmed my blood and the canines that were growing too long. I'd appreciate Remi's blood for making me stronger and healthier but I could do without getting excited by scent of blood. Attracting to blood was so inappropriate of a miko after all. No matter how far I have fallen and the fact I didn't exactly have a god to begin with.

With my caution up against the bald man, I turned my attention against the greatest threat here, the pink haired...human? ...Judging by the faint remaining connection between her and the long faded portal, I would assume she was my summoner but...

I tilted my head in confusion. Where was that surge of magic power I felt from this girl just now? Although I had felt her to be the strongest here, she felt nothing but a magicless human now. Admittedly, there was very faint magic in her but that was it. One of the village human who managed to learn levitation probably has more magic than her.

A round of jeers and laughter suddenly erupted from the crowd of human magician grunts. When I turned to look at them, I was treated with an all too familiar sight.

Arrogant faces and mocking laughter. These grunts were like those village humans. They were making the same face as them when the Lunarians dragged my bloodied body over the human village, letting them laugh, curse and throw stones at me before my crucifixion. These grunts were too blind to see the reality around them and chose to be in their own world, always thinking they were the most important and invincible. I didn't know how and why a bunch of weak humans have that confidence, but I don't really care. There was really only one ending for the likes of them after all.

I felt blood in my mouth but I ignored it. Nothing would help calm my enraged blood and canines. It might be because my current youkai self and the vampire blood in my veins, my first instinct was to introduce them the bloodbath I gave to the Lunarians. The only thing stopping me for doing it was my miko morals and there was a massive surge of power before me.

I turned away from the grunts and saw the pink girl was right before me. I could feel the fuming raw power erupting within the small girl, wanting to be unleashed but dammed at the tip of her tightly gripped wand. She was so close that my Hakurei instinct trembled. She looked up, her face with a hint of blush and closed the distance between us to-

I made a huge leap backward by instinct. I was not sure what she tried to do but I was sure not going to get that close with a raw magical bomb. I felt a feeling it was not just my wellbeing was in danger just now. If I had let that something happened, something told me I would face the wrath of a certain evil spirit and vampire.

Around me, the laughter intensified and more unrecognizable words were shouted towards the pink haired girl. The girl simply lowered her head for a good few seconds. This started to make me feel guilty. I shouldn't have dodged if she was just going to get laughed more. Besides, what could a little girl do to the strongest youkai of Gensoukyo like me-

My Hakurei instinct then shorted out. Something too powerful for my instinct to handle. In defense my youkai Hakurei blood summoned my Yin and Yang wings to pull me back. My vampire side helped to coordinate my legs instead, giving me instantaneous boost to leap away as far as possible.

All I could really comprehend with my carefree mind then was the girl screamed, then reality ripped itself apart.

Even if I was not Yukari, I could tell how a moment ago a very fabric of space was cut off and voided. What resulted was a mighty explosion more devastating than anything I have ever seen, more impressive and daunting than whatever the Lunarians had sent at me. The air and land there became nothing, simply disappear before the might of the explosion. Four meters of land between me and the girl was just gone, left only the wind gushing past us for the air to fill the unnatural gap.

No one had dared to move after that outburst. Were they simply shell-shocked? I don't really care to know. My youkai and vampire mind was frozen, as it was their natural instinct to do so when faced against such a fatal display of power.

However my Hakurei mind was calculating. It has always been calculating ever since I woke up as an youkai. However the Hakurei finally found its answer.

I was there when the pink haired girl fainted and almost fell to the ground. I held her up and examined her up close. Such a petite girl, bullied and looked down by all others when she held so much hidden raw power. Mere humans would always be mere humans, unable to truly understand the value and importance of who was before them. That was fine, let them reject this girl who had been destined to become someone great in this world. For this girl's destiny has changed the moment I held her. She belongs elsewhere now.

"Rest well, my new Hakurei apprentice."

A/N: Wow, I must say I am glad that it didn't end up as worse as I thought. I was just taking an afternoon nap when a story about Youkai Miko Reimu just came to my mind. I had no idea how to make it a pure Touhou fiction so I made it a ZnT crossover instead. Writing this gave me an idea for a pure Touhou Youkai Miko Reimu fanfiction too so I might work on that in a few weeks.

I am not sure if I am even continuing this. Do you like youkai miko Reimu? Is she too 'evil' and 'OC' to your liking. Like her or not I'd hope you readers will comment your opinions that I could use for my next youkai miko Reimu fanfic. Otherwise show your support for the idea of youkai miko Reimu through review, I am interested to see if there's actually someone interested in one.

I just remembered. Since this is a Reimu x Touhou harem fiction, I have no plan for Reimu x ZnT yet. Reimu x Tabitha seems interesting though. If any of you have interesting pairings (even between ZnT characters) please suggest them and I will see if I can do anything about it. As unusual it is the better.

Please read and review!
