Grimnír takes a moment to think. Alice has over a dozen of her dolls out, each of them armed and dangerous. Even Shanghai looks ready to lead the attack, should things become ugly. Marisa has already half-charged her mini-Hakkero, and by the looks of it, she seems prepared to blast anyone in her way. Yet, he notices something unusual about the two magicians.

Neither of them seem confident this time.

"This isn't your territory, you meddling sukima..."

He turns to the owner of that icy voice. Eh? The doctor seems to be holding a bow and arrow in her hands. When did Dr. Yagokoro bring out that weapon? Well, she isn't aiming it at anyone. Not yet, anyway.

"Is that so~"

Yukari turns to him.

"But I can't let you damage this one. You see, I still have a need for, err... I still need him, you see~"

She gives him a little wink. That doesn't really make him feel much better. Still, she did come out all the way out here to help him (?). He clears his throat and smiles a bit.

"Nice timing," he says.

He glances at the two magicians, and then at the lunar rabbit. Reisen is still unconscious, and despite her earlier behavior, she seems more like a victim rather than an antagonist. It would be too cruel to just leave her here. Without another word, he carefully picks her up in her hands.

"Ara? Looks like we'll have to postpone our lunch date~"

"Unfortunate, indeed. We'll leave the rest to you, Yukari."

At those words, three small portals form underneath him and the two magicians. Before Dr. Yagokoro can react, their party escapes through this uncomfortable, though otherwise convenient exit.

~~~

"Good thing I landed on something soft, ~ze."

"Eh? That wasn't as bad as I expected."

"..."

Grimnír can't speak. He is far too much pain right now! The combined weight of an ordinary magician, a dollmaker, and a lunar rabbit isn't something that his body can get used to. If he could find the strength, he would be cursing his luck for still being conscious to feel the damage. Isn't it typical that he wouldn't black out when he really wanted to?

"Oh! This place looks kinda familiar!"

"Looks like she sent us back to the Forest of Magic."

"Yeah! Hey, do you know where we landed, Alice?"

"Let me see, this kinda looks similar to... oh my!?"

The weight upon his back feels lighter by about a third. He manages to grunt a little in response.

"Ah! So that's what we landed on!"

"Get off him, right now! Grim, are you alright?"

Marisa stands herself up and dusts off her skirt. The pain is starting to subside, but speech is still difficult.

"... live," he mumbles.

"Oh no!? Is he hurt? Marisa, can you check?"

"Sure! First aid's my specialty ~ze. Let me just pull out a red mushroom to revitalize him!"

"Marisa? That looks like a green mushroom..."

"Red, green, does it really matter?"

Despite the pain, he forces himself to sit up. He quickly shakes his head.

"No... mushrooms," he says.

"See? He's alright already! That's my apprentice!"

"Don't force yourself if you need to rest! Marisa, what are you thinking?"

He rubs his head for a moment as he recovers. After gently putting Reisen down, he takes a moment to examine her. The girl still seems to be unconscious, though she doesn't seem to have any physical injury. At least they all escaped (relatively) unscathed.

"Anyway," says Alice. "This place seems pretty close to my house."

The dollmaker pauses for a moment. She glances at Reisen, then at Grimnír. She stares at him coldly before speaking.

"You will explain everything once we get back. We will regroup at my place for the time being..."

"Eh? But that's boring!" cries Marisa. "Why don't we go to my house? We better restock on supplies, and I got a lot of awesome stuff lying around!"

"You mean that useless pile of junk? Forget it!"

"Hmph! Well, why don't we let Grim decide, then?"

Suddenly, silence. They seem to be waiting for his decision.

"Could you please move aside?" says Dr. Yagokoro. "I have to give her this medicine before her condition worsens."

She starts walking closer. Grimnír wavers for only a moment. Without warning, he strikes the ground with the end of his staff. He looks back at the doctor, who seems only mildly surprised.

"You shall not pass!"

"..."

"I'm not the type to leave without answers," he says. "I've had it with all these secrets and conspiracies! Ever since I've arrived in Gensokyo, I've yet to get a straight answer out of anyone. This is the last straw! I'm not letting another clue slip between my fingers, especially when there is another incident staring me in the face."

The doctor smiles at him, raising her eyebrow as if to say, "Really?"

"Unless you want the Hakurei shrine maiden to hear of this..."

The moment he says that, Dr. Yagokoro's smile disappears. Heh, his guess is right. Regardless of their motives, it seems like no one wants to let the shrine maiden hear of their actions. Of course, he has no idea where to find said shrine maiden. Hopefully, this bluff will be enough to get some kind of reaction out of her.

"Or maybe I can go to the Village and, uughrkk!"

His eyes widen in surprise. He can feel something choking him, but when he tries to pry it off, he can't hold on to anything. All he can see is a strange mist forming a snake-like trail around his neck. It seems to be coming from a small open box on the ground. When did she!?

"I can't let you do that," she says coldly.

"...gah!"

"L-let him go!" cries Alice. "I won't let you hurt him!"

The dollmaker snaps her finger, and several dolls pop into view, seemingly out of nowhere. There are over a dozen of them, and each seems to be carrying a different type of weapon. In front, Shanghai is holding a large sword in her hands, ready to lead the charge.

".. urk!"

"Attack me and I'll break his neck," says Dr. Yagokoro.

"Heh, looks like I should defeat you before you do that..."

Marisa is already channeling energy into her Mini-Hakkero. It has already begun to shine brightly, and the room is filled with a low, ominous humming. His eyes widen in horror. Right now, he can't mutter any spell commands to bring up a shield. There is no way he can survive if he gets caught in a blast like that.

"..!"

This is really dangerous! He didn't think that the doctor would react this badly to such a simple threat. Isn't there anything he can do to stop this disaster? If he could only...

"Yu.. ka... ri..."

Grimnír's eyes start to blur as the mist tightens around his neck.

Then, darkness.

"..."

Wait. He isn't unconscious yet. The mist has vanished. He coughs violently as he catches his breath. Slowly, he opens his eyes. Huh? Someone seems to be talking to Dr. Yagokoro. Could that be -

"You!? I thought that you returned to Youkai Mountain?"

"I just came from there. Did you know that Reimu's really angry right now? She is looking for any excuse to act violent~"

"Is that a threat?"

That voice is familiar. Surely enough, the person talking to the doctor could only be Yukari (normal-sized, he notes).

"Ara? Of course not. What would make you think that~"

She turns to Grimnír and winks at him. Even without words, he already knows what she is going to do next. However, she seems to be waiting for his signal...

"Seems like I made a slight miscalculation," says Dr. Yagokoro.

She pulls out a syringe from her dress and starts walking closer. Grimnír shivers nervously as she approaches. Unlike everyone else in the room, the doctor seems to be completely calm. Too calm, in fact. She doesn't seem to be even slightly angry or surprised. It was as if she was prepared for something like this. She isn't even looking at him now, and her attention is focused solely on the unconscious Reisen in his arms. Wait a second. That needle looks awfully sharp. Is she really going to..?

"I had better fix this quickly."

He pulls up his pants and straightens his robes properly as he tries to think. Alice, Marisa and Shanghai all watch in silence as the doctor gets closer to the two. He takes one last glance at Reisen before putting her down gently on the ground.

"..."

Grimnír gets up and stares straight into Dr. Yagokoro's eyes. Then, he folds his arms and stands right between her and the unconscious lunar rabbit. The doctor stops a few steps away, the syringe still in her hand.

"I need to administer this injection quickly."

"Injection," he repeats.

"That's right. Step aside, magician."

This person's eyes are cold and calculating. She is definitely dangerous.

"I don't think so," he replies. "I'm not letting you touch her, or anyone else, until we get some answers!"

"..."

"What the hell is wrong with Reisen? She suddenly runs away just from the sight of me, then in the next moment, she seals my movement and tries to attack me. Hell, she almost -"

"Raped you?"

He blinks in surprise at this.

"Wait a second... you knew that this was happening?"

"Of course not," she says.

Dr. Yagokoro smiles slightly.

"But just by looking at the situation, and analyzing past events and other relevant data, this would be the most probable explanation of what just happened here."

"... huh?"

"Especially since you are still alive," she adds.

Grimnír pauses to think. She definitely knows something. But how can he get her to talk? She seems far too sharp to fall for the usual tricks. In any case, he needs to think quickly. If this continues, the conversation will start to move at her pace and he won't be able to -

"Could you please move aside?" asks the doctor, interrupting his thoughts.

"..."

"I have to give her this medicine before her condition worsens."

Dr. Yagokoro starts walking closer again.

Reisen looks up at him, teary-eyed and blushing.

"Can I?" she whispers.

Grimnír thinks about it for a moment. Even if this is part of his plan, he never expected the lunar rabbit to become so submissive. This is a world apart from her initial approach, and it isn't among his expected reactions. His original goal is to change the atmosphere by evoking strong emotions. However, he didn't think that she would start acting like this. Is it possible that she really has feelings for him?

"Err..."

Those eyes... he knows that she isn't using the same ability as before. She isn't trying to forcibly control him with her power. However, if she keeps staring at him like that, he can't help but give in to her natural charms.

"J-just a little is fine, I guess," he mumbles carelessly.

He slowly extends his index finger toward her. Reisen gazes at it for a moment, entranced, as if seeing it for the first time. Then, with both of her hands, she slowly guides it toward her mouth. He gasps slightly as he feels her lips quivering. Then, she puts his finger into her mouth.

"Nn... Chupah... Chup..... Nnnh..... Mmmnh..."

A different kind of shiver runs down Grimnír's spine (and the rest of his body). The way that she is licking and sucking at his finger is strangely stimulating. Her eyes are completely enthralled and focused, and the way she moves her tongue along him only excites him more. And the sounds of her voice as she tries to speak while performing is just -

"Ah!?"

To his surprise, she pulls away from his finger. But only for a moment. She looks up at him with an innocent smile and whispers softly.

"I didn't think it would be so warm," she says. "I-it's stiff. And besides that, it feels a lot thicker when it's in my mouth."

"Eh? R-really now..."

He quickly tries to look away, but when he does so, she starts frowning at him, worried.

"Umm... d... does it feel good..?"

His heart aches painfully as she whispers those words. Damn, what is this? Is he falling into her trap? But at this point, he can't think properly anymore. He looks at her and answers truthfully.

"Yeah, it feels incredibly good."

"Ah... I'm glad...!"

Without hesitation, she holds it in her mouth again. This time, she starts moving more quickly with her tongue.

"Mnnph.. Mnn... Chupa... Nnnh... Chup... Puah... Haa... Haa..."

"Umm, Reisen?"

Spittle starts to run down his hand and her lips, but the sight is oddly erotic. He watches helplessly as she slides her tongue up and down his extended index finger.

"Nnnh.. Chup... Mnnn... Chupa... So big... Nnnh..."

Reisen whispers her thoughts aloud as she sucks harder and more desperately at his finger. This is really bad! He's getting really turned on by this! If she continues at this pace, he might do something stupid, like push her down. He needs to distract her, somehow!

"Err... I think that's about enough. Why don't we talk for a bit and -"

"Mnnph.. Nnn... Nnnh... Chupa... Mnnh... Tasty... Chup... Puah... Mnnmph..."

She doesn't seem to be hearing him anymore. Completely engrossed in performing finger fellatio, the lunar rabbit seems to have sunk deep into a different world. His words don't seem to have any effect.

"H-Hey! That's enough! Can you hear me? Reisen, I -"

"Puah! Haa... haa... I can't... stand it... anymore..."

Suddenly, she pulls her mouth away. Her breathing is heavy and ragged, and she seems to be having difficulty speaking.

"Reisen? Hey, are you alright?"

Grimnír puts his other hand on her shoulder. The moment he touches her, she closes her eyes and starts shaking and shivering. These body spasms, is she...?

"Haa... Haaa... No don't! Ah! Ah.! Oh N-...... Aaaaaaah!!!"

Reisen shakes violently one last time before falling into his arms. Her breathing starts to slow down, and her eyes are closed as she leans on his chest. Grimnír holds her gently, still shocked at this event. How the hell? He didn't even touch her! Did she just.. on her own like that? This definitely wasn't part of the plan! He needs to carefully analyze this situation, and quickly before -

"Huh?"

Grimnír blinks in surprise. As he looks around, their surroundings have changed. They seem to be standing along the hallway between the hospital wing and the main complex. None of the lights are on, and the sun shines brightly from the windows. Seems like it is still early afternoon.

"Grim? R-Reisen? W-w-what are you two doing!?"

He turns to see Alice staring at them, white with shock. Then, she turns beet red as she looks closer. Grimnír glances at himself and Reisen, and in an instant he understands the reason behind her reaction. He is sitting on the floor, his robe loosened and his chest exposed. The lunar rabbit is lying unconscious in his arms, her head leaning against him, and her clothes partially undone, for some reason. Oh, and there is one last thing. His pants have fallen down to his knees. His privates are strategically covered up by Reisen's skirt and legs, but that doesn't really improve the situation.

"Hey waif up, Alice! Why f'ya caw me ou here emiway, ze...!?"

Marisa stops in her tracks. A bit of mushroom falls from her lips as she stares at them, mouth agape. Unlike Alice, she seems completely incapable of any reaction, and just stands frozen there. Behind her, another little figure floats into view. Shanghai pops out and, upon looking at him, quickly covers her eyes with her hands.

"..."

He doesn't know how to explain this. Ha ha, oh wow. Can this possibly get any worse?

"Oh my. This is unexpected."

A third voice comes from behind him. He turns his head to see Dr. Yagokoro. She seems to have stepped out of one of the nearby rooms. Unlike the other two, she doesn't show any hint of shock or surprise. Instead, she looks extremely concerned as she gazes at him, then at Reisen, then at him again. After a few seconds of observation, she suddenly nods to herself, as if she understands.

"Seems like I made a slight miscalculation," she says.

The lunar doctor pulls out something from her dress. It looks like a small syringe with a green-blue substance in it.

"Better fix this quickly."

She starts walking closer. Grimnír immediately realizes that she is looking straight at Reisen.

Grimnír watches helplessly as Reisen tugs at his pants. Most of his body is paralyzed and useless. He can't move his arms or legs, and he has only started to regain control of his left hand. In this circumstance, he can't hope to push her away or overpower her. But if he doesn't do anything to stop her, she'll most certainly start violating him.

"So annoying!" she cries. "H-how do you get these off?"

For a brief moment, he considers just letting her do what she wants. Upon close inspection (very close, if he may add), the lunar rabbit really is quite a beauty. Her long purple hair is smooth and bouncy, and her rumpled rabbit ears have an odd charm about them. The features of her face are delicate and flawless.

If anything, only her eyes are out of place. Those pair of crimson gems, while most certainly captivating, seem cold and lonely. Behind her wild behavior and crazy smile, he can sense a deep sadness in this girl. He recognizes it easily, as he has seen this somewhere before.

> The feelings of someone who was left behind

Grimnír begins to form a different kind of plan. This might be a gamble, but he doesn't have much choice. After calming himself, he lowers his voice to a whisper.

"Reisen?"

The rabbit girl's ears perk up slightly. She doesn't stop pulling at his pants, but her movements have slowed down.

"It hurts," he says. "My chest hurts. I don't really understand, but when I watch you like this, it pains me."

At those words, she looks up at him. Instead of a smile, she gives him worried look. Her hands still hold on to his clothes, but she has stopped tugging them (but not without pulling his pants down a bit). At this reaction, he barely stops himself from smiling. Instead, he turns his head slightly and looks away from her eyes.

"I-I think that I want this too," he whispers.

"You.. want this?" she repeats.

She glances at his crotch, which has started to become quite excited. Of course, this is just a natural reaction, he reminds himself. This isn't the time to question his feelings. He needs to make good use of any situation, embarrassing or not. Reisen gasps in surprise, as if noticing his physical reaction only now. That said, he starts blushing furiously (well, he really is embarrassed, but this is also as planned).

"I think I want this," says Grimnír. "I think I want you. But, not like this."

He slowly turns and looks at her straight in the eye.

"Don't you think that this doesn't really feel right?"

"W-what are you saying?" she cries. "I-I don't understand what you mean, but I'm kind of happy to hear that you also..."

Her voice trails off, as she starts blushing bright red herself. His guess is right. One more push should be enough. He pauses for a moment before continuing.

"This just feels too distant, Reisen."

"Distant," she repeats, a tinge of sadness in her voice.

"I can't explain it clearly, but I just want to hold you in my arms."

At those words, she starts tearing up. Her eyes are starting to glow with a familiar, friendly warmth. Without saying anything, she slowly pulls him to a sitting position. Then, she grabs him in a tight embrace around his waist, burying her head in his chest.

"..."

Very slowly, he returns the gesture and hugs her. He smiles. Just as he expected, he has regained control of his arms. A glance at his wiggling toe tells him that he can move his legs, too. But he needs to be very careful. Even the slightest suspicion might give him away. So he holds her patiently like this until she pulls herself away.

"I'm sorry," she whispers.

Her eyes still seem to be in a dreamlike trance, but she doesn't look like she will do anything violent now. However, their surroundings are still completely dark and silent. This place is still under her influence. Very gently, she takes one of his hands and starts staring at his fingers longingly.

Reisen looks up at him, blushing like an innocent school girl. For some reason, he recognizes her intention immediately.

"Can I?" she whispers.

Reisen walks closer, a wicked smile upon her lips. A chill runs down his spine.

"Oh my!" she says. "Now, what am I going to do with the naughty human that stepped into my dream? Maybe it's... a naughty dream?"

Grimnír swallows nervously. He can't see or hear anything apart from this girl, and he can only barely feel Shanghai holding him tight. This doesn't look good. He doesn't really understand what's happening around him, but he does know that this situation is very dangerous. This place seems to be completely under her influence. Well, almost. His barrier seems to be holding up for the moment.

"Shanghai," he whispers. "Listen closely..."

He can't see the doll's face, but he can vaguely see her form nod at him. After carefully whispering some instructions, he feels her stand up and fly deep into the darkness behind him. Hopefully, she'll be able to get some help from the others. But for now, he has to deal with the lunarian alone. He quickly turns back to her. Perhaps he can try to buy some time...

"Reisen, what exactly is this dream you are talking about?"

"What is this dream?"

Her smile widens. He doesn't feel much better.

"What a strange question," she says. "You should know better than anyone else, human. This is just another fantasy world that will vanish at the end of the day."

"A fantasy? What are you talking about?"

There is something strange about this darkness and this silence. He can't even hear her footsteps as she walks closer. It is as if something has muffled out every sound besides their voices. He can't even hear his own heartbeat right now.

"What am I talking about? W-what am I talking about? Ahahahahahahaha!"

Suddenly, she vanishes. Grimnír quickly focuses his energy on the barrier, forming a protective shell around him. He doesn't know where she is going to attack from, but this should buy him enough time to -

"What am I talking about, indeed." she whispers darkly.

Reisen is standing right in front of his barrier, smiling. Slowly, she raises her finger and taps it against his shield. A large crack begins to spread along its surface, and in the next moment, the barrier shatters like thin glass. He raises his hand to restore the barrier, but it's already too late.

"Look into my eyes."

It takes him only a moment to realize his mistake. Just for a moment, her calm red eyes suddenly glow a bright crimson. He blinks. Huh? Her eyes have returned to normal, but for some reason, he can't look away from this girl. In fact, he can't move a muscle! His body is no longer responding to his commands. His eyes widen in horror? What did she just do?

"That's much better," says Reisen. "Now the naughty human will play nicely~"

She steps closer toward him, giggling to herself. No, don't panic! Focus! Think! There is always something that he might have overlooked. He needs to distract her while he tries to understand what's happening to him. It takes him an incredible amount of effort to even speak.

"Why..." he whispers. "Why did you... run?"

"Why did I... run?"

"This... nightmare... You don't... want this..."

"..."

"Let me... help you..."

The lunar rabbit pauses at those words. For just a moment, the smile on her face vanishes. He takes this chance to observe his surroundings. She seems to be manipulating the environment somehow. His senses have dulled, and his body barely reacts to his commands. Did she do something to his nerves? But as long as he can still move, then maybe he can do something. He focuses his energy into his left hand. It might not be much, but this could be just enough to -

"Help me?"

Without warning, she pushes him down. She has surprising strength for a person of her size. This is his last thought before the back of his head slams against the ground, hard. His eyes blur as the pain registers in his head. She seems to be standing right on top of him now. He still can't move. He can't resist against her.

"Feeling pity for the lonely little moon bunny?" she cries out. "Well then, why don't you comfort my lonely heart?"

"Gah! W-what are you doing, Reisen!"

She smiles as she starts undoing his robes. Grimnír tries to resist, but he still doesn't have full control of his body. He can barely speak, and he only has partial control of his left hand. Before he realizes it, the rabbit girl manages to expose his chest. She squeals in delight, enjoying the sight.

"T-this isn't funny!" he cries, perfectly aware that his face must be bright red. "Don't joke like that! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!"

"How cute," she whispers. "Are you the shy type? Don't worry."

Grimnír feels panic rushing in. She can't possibly mean to -

"I'll be gentle~"

Disregarding his demands, she starts pulling at his pants.

"No! Reisen! No!"

This is looking really bad. He needs to calm her down!
