Roughly a week after Ail and Kyo's arrival, Reimu had found a letter on the ground, near the shrine addressed to her and "the two boys we sent in accidentally". Reimu quietly hid the letter and while Kyo and Ail would do the chores, she went into her room, and made sure nobody could enter accidentally, or see inside. She opened the letter and began to quietly read:
"Dear miss Reimu Hakurei,
This is Renko, and Mary, from the outside world. First of all, I would like to apologize. We messed up and sent two innocents into your world. We hope that they are well, but I thought you said the portal would open under the tree with the red ribbon, and not 75 feet away. Mary has been a little disappointed and it's really getting me down as well. It's not like her to be so sad all the time. I was wondering if we could try again? Maybe a positive reply from you might cheer up Mary. She really wanted to go into Gensokyo for real, and not just through her dreams.
To the two boys,
We are truly sorry for the trouble we caused, and hope that you two are well. Your families have caused mass panic around here. Cops everywhere are looking for you two, and what's worse, the park and forest have been set off-limits due to many investigations regarding your "disappearance".
You friends,
Renko Usami and Maribel Han"
Reimu noticed there was something scribbled at the back of the letter and continued to read.
"I know there has to be a reason why you can't send them back, however I cannot think of one. Miss Reimu, can you tells us the reason? If not, I can understand. Know that it took us a long time to get you this letter due to the constant guarding of the park's and forest entrances. Here's to hoping you get this letter"
Reimu finishes reading the letter and sits in the middle of the room, just thinking for a moment. The then folds the letter and hides it in a hidden closet that was full of detached sleeves and some extra clothes, including her old clothes. She closed the closet and though again for a moment then heads out. She looks inside the storage and notices there was a little less food in there. She storms out "KY~O~~!!!" she screamed so loud, the shrine trembled. When Kyo comes by, looking bored, Reimu attacks him with insults, and so another argument began over the food. Ail tried to stop them, but instead he intercepted a flying Kyo, then after falling they both fell inside a portal that opened just below them. The portal closed quickly, and Reimu, her eyes open wide, her mouth closed, yet stretched, and her forehead turning almost blue, all she could do was ask "what the hell?" She panics and as soon as Marisa lands saying "yo, Reimu, I came to play z-", Reimu grabs her by her shirt saying "they went through another gap! You have to help me find them!!!" As she said this, she was shaking Marisa back and forth quite violently. After Marisa shakes off the dizziness, she slaps Reimu in the face and tells her "calm DOWN!" Reimu calms down just as she gets up from the ground saying "yes, you're right. Just calm down Reimu, it'll all be fine." Marisa laughs saying "so you really grew attached to those two, huh? Well, no surprise there. So what have you done with them, eh? Romantic nights? 'Special' afternoons? Candle-lit-" Before Marisa could continue, hundreds of yin-yang balls fell on her head, burying her under a pile of those. "You are just SICK, you know that?" growled Reimu, while Marisa slowly and dizzily gets out from under the pile of yin-yang balls. Reimu then continues and says "great, now I'll have to sweep and clean the shine by myself aga~in!" then starts crying. Marisa chuckles and quietly says "What a lazy miko, ze..."
Shortly after their safe return to the shrine, the two boys were attacked by Remilia. Seems Ails blood was a real treat for Remilia. She almost killed him, but thankfully she was stopped in time. Lucky for Ail he had become friends with quite a few powerful friends, plus Kyo, who's training had paid off nicely, was able to adapt some magic to his arms. One thing surprised everyone. Ail, from out of nowhere, started shooting danmaku, however, due to his lack of experience at the moment, he could only shoot one powerful blast before draining himself of almost all energy. Remilia really did some work on him after that, almost killing him, yet he recovered in the course of just a few hours. Even the wound inflicted by the vampire was almost gone by morning. After that they met Kaguya... who, for some reason, did not like Ail ignoring her; not one bit. Then they met Alice who impressed Ail quite a lot with her skills, making her head swell up. They trained for three days only, and already they had improved their abilities to an impressive level, however, they met Yukari and Kyo opened his big mouth, costing them a trip through one of her gaps. After witnessing the events, Reimu quietly sneaks behind Yukari, hitting her hard on the head with her gohei shouting "where did you send them to THIS time!!?" Rubbing her head, Yukari answers "Hakugyokurou". Reimu grabs Yukari by her ear and pulls her out of her gap, then pulls her all the way inside the shrine demanding her to return the boys safely. Yukari, finally released from Reimu's grasp, opens her fan again, covering her mouth saying "don't worry, this is training for them." Reimu has a yin-yang ball on her hand. Yukari knew where she was aiming at and continued "just relax. Yuyuko will take good care of them. When they come back, they'll be able to go off on their own." Reimu's face fills with panic, then shouts "but who's going to do all my chores no~w~! And who's gonna go into town to get offering for the shrine, huh!?" Yukari looks at Reimu, still covering her mouth with her fan and says "fu, fu, fu~! You really ARE a lazy girl, aren't you?" Unable to dodge in time, Yukari receives a yin-yang ball to her face, and Reimu was blowing steam out of her nose and ears as her face turned bright red. After Yukari left, Reimu sat down and started writing on a piece of paper.
"Dear Renko and Maribel,
It's me, Reimu Hakurei. I don't know if this will sound logical, however... It seems to me that it was fate that these two would come in through that gap, instead of you. First of all, the gap opened away from the shrine, sending the two boys falling to their deaths, however they survive that fall AND a youkai attack. After that, they landed themselves inside the underground, where many fearsome youkai live, and managed to survive. That Ail is crazy. He went in very deep into the underground, however, like I said before, it seems this was fate. He came back a lot stronger than before. I am starting to wonder if he's even human. Anyway, after that they were attacked by a vampire, Ail, once more being the target. He almost got killed, yet survived with nothing but the memory of a scratch. He's even learned how to use danmaku and both boys are becoming quite strong here. They have now been sent to train at another shrine. I guess what I am trying to say is that... their coming here was no accident. There's too much happening since they came. Maybe it was best all together, that you missed that chance. Don't despair though, I promise to continue to try and "persuade" my friend to get you in here, however in the mean time I ask that you wait a little longer."
Your friend
The beautiful, sweet and powerful shrine maiden
Reimu Hakurei
