Epilogue

After plenty of time working out a spot for the new Scarlet mansion to be built, they found the perfect area in Gensokyo, with plenty of land. Remilia, who was not going to get down and dirty herself, paid a few dozen fairies from all over Gensokyo to build the house. They, being fast workers, had it done before dusk.

Remilia let out a relaxed sigh, as Patchouli summoned all of their furniture and such from the other house. She watched her sister, who was whipping her head from left to right, watching every passerby as they go about their business. It made Remilia want to giggle. Her sister was always the curious type, and now they were in a new land, with people more like them. Remilia understood why Flan as so fascinated.

After they all got relaxed back in their respected areas of the house, Remilia grinned at Sakuya. "I think this will work out for the best." she said, her voice calm.

"I hope so." Sakuya said calmly. She reached out and helped Remilia onto the bed that was much taller than her. She waited for her to lay back, before tucking her in. "Do you want me to leave the room?" Sakuya asked.

Remilia shook her head and reached out, taking Sakuya's arm into her hand. "Don't leave me. I'm scared..."

Sakuya looked back at Remilia. "Scared? M'lady, you are never scared. What is the matter?" she asked, her eyebrow raising slightly.

"I'm frightened of nightmares. I cannot get the images of that night out of my mind." Remilia said, looking away. "I feel like I'm not strong enough to protect everyone. I feel like I'm insufficient."

Sakuya shook her head, "You are. Everyone has nightmares at one point. Please do not worry about it."

Remilia closed her eyes and nodded a little. "Can I make an odd request?" she asked, her voice quiet.

Sakuya nodded, "Any request is fine."

"Can... Can you sleep with me tonight?" she asked. Her face was powdered red and she looked embarrassed. Her age was showing in her body language.

Sakuya nodded a little, "Of course, M'lady." she bowed a little, before slipping off her slippers and sliding up onto the bed. She laid there awkwardly, not sure of whether she should stay out from under the covers or not.

Remilia moved closer and hugged her, "Thank you." she murmured. "I'm sorry that I'm such an immature master."

"No, don't worry about it. Just sleep, M'lady." Sakuya put her hand on Remilia's head, "You've been through a lot."

Remilia nodded a little and closed her eyes. She nuzzled her head into Sakuya's chest and let herself fall to sleep.

Sakuya closed her eyes and bowed her head a little so her chin was resting on Remilia's hair. She petted her as she focused on her thoughts. She cuddled with Remilia and fell asleep.
