Momomiya-san at the shrine {open}

[Crystal]

Momomiya-san walked towards the border. She noticed a quite disturbing amount of mountainus land along with a nice calm looking valley between a few of them. Ichigo also noticed a shrine near the edge of one of the mountains. She walked towards it and peeked around.

She stealthly walked through the trees, making sure no one was around before slowly moving foward. Today, Aya Shameimaru finally intended to do a follow-up on the torture chamber article she wrote a while ago whether Reimu showed or not. A few months ago Aya skillfully spotted a metal structure just south of the Hakurei Shrine, and it was clearly some kind of torture chamber. There was no other plausible explanation for all of the pain it managed to put her through, or why there was an unconcious human laying on the ground. She found it very suspicious that it was so close to the shrine and wanted to know everything Reimu knew about this Yumemi person. Right now she wasn't quite sure what to believe, but she really hoped that Reimu and Yumemi were cohorts. That would be one amazing story!

She continued to move around the shrine as quitely as possible so she wouldn't be noticed. After all, getting blackmail on Reimu was awesome too. But as she approached the shrine she didn't see Reimu, but another person. Shockingly enough Aya didn't actually know who this person was. Could this be the infamous Yumemi? She hid behind one of the shrine's walls and took a quick picture. Her camera was silent, and there was no need to use the flash at this time of day, so there was a chance she would remain hidden even after that. It all depended on how good this girl's hearing was really. She didn't want to be spotted. After all, people are more likely to act naturally when they aren't aware that someone's watching them.

Ichigo flinched as she heard a quiet clicking sound. Her animal instincts caused her cat ears and tail to pop out. "Nya!" hissed Ichigo as her cat DNA attacked her she then could smell food in the distance. After a few meowing sounds, Ichigo's ears and tail popped back in. She focused again and remembered she'd heard a clicking sound. "Kirmea Anima!" she cried "Mew Mew Strawberry, Metamopho-sis!"

Pink beams of light formed around Ichigo as Her ears, tail and costume formed. Then her boots and gloves formed along with her mew mark shining. Mew Ichigo did her golden cat pose. "For the future of the Earth, I will be of service Nya~!" crooned Ichigo. "Sutoro Bell Bell!" she cried as a hollow, heart shaped object with a bell and ribbons on it's bends, appeared in a flash of pink lights. Ichigo watched carefully for any Kirmea Animas. This could be pretty serious too.

Wait, what the heck? Aya was pretty sure that this Yumemi person was human, but she couldn't tell if this person was human or some weird kind of nekomata. Well, she certainly wasn't going to stand there and gawk while this...human/nekomata thing was all glowy like that. She took as many pictures as she possibly could. She was clicking the button on her camera so fast that it never went back to its natural upright position. This was very interesting. She had never seen a youkai that could change their form like that.

Sadly, this kind-of-human person seemed to think of her as a threat. Aya couldn't imagine why, it's not like she was dangerous. Well, she didn't really want to fight, so now seemed like a good time to show herself. She slowly came out from behind the shrine, making sure to move slowly enough that it would look like she wasn't going to attack. Really, the last thing she wanted to do right now was fight, she's done enough fighting for a month.

"Uh...Hi Yumemi? I am Aya Shameimaru."

This was just a test. People were unnatrually close to their names, and when people called them something other than their name they would correct that person. If this girl corrected Aya then she was not Yumemi, if she didn't then she was. She was still kind of hoping that this was the Yumemi person she was looking for, but she wouldn't be at all dissapointed if she wasn't. This girl seemed to have an interesting story to tell either way.

"Show yourself! Chirmea Anima!" Ichigo cried looking viciously at the forest of trees! "I will not let you destroy Gensokyo! For the service of Gensokyo, I'll be helping all Nya~!" Ichigo noticed A girl standing next to a tree. "Uh...Hi Yumemi? I am Aya Shameimaru." she said as she walked towards Mew Ichigo.

"Get away from here before you get killed by the aliens!" Ichigo screamed not noticing who she was. Ichigo peered round and used her animal instincts to find the Chirmea Anima. It had disserpered. "The cost is clear. Mew Ichigo has protected you... for now. The Aliens may come back and attack Gensokyo. I will not let this happen!"

Mew Ichigo ran back to the village. When she was far enough for the girl not to see her Ichigo transformed back to Mamomiya-chan. Ichigo ran and tried to make it look like she was late for something. "Gwayh! I'm gonna be late!" she cried with high enthusiasm.

Aya just stood there for a moment as she was rather confused. What was a 'Chirmea Anima'? Since when were aliens attacking Gensokyo? Was she talking about the Lunerians? They seemed pretty harmless, though they were kind of obnoxious sometimes. Well, she did get one useful piece of information out if her: she was not Yumemi. Apparently her name was Mew, which was kind of a strange name in her opinion. But whatever, that didn't really matter. Her eyes started to gleam, and a smile appeared on her face. She did indeed have an interesting story to tell, there was no way she was going to let her run away like this.

Fortunately Aya was very fast. The tengu as a whole were pretty fast, but Aya was quick even for a tengu. And she was stealthy on top of that. There was no way this girl was going to get out of her sight. She flapped her big, black wings and chased after the girl, trying to stay as quiet and out of sight as possible. Once the girl stopped she did as well. She landed in a tree and hid amonsth the leaves. Mew was looking around, probably to make sure that no one was there, and then she transformed back into that human form. Aya managed to get a picture just as she was transforming. This was going to be very interesting.

"Hello again~" Aya waved and jumped out of the tree she was hiding in. "What exactly were you talking about back there? I've never heard of a Chirmea Anima before."

She decided to start with that. Aya didn't want to bombard the poor girl with questions after all, and that seemed like the best place to start. She readied her pencil and her notebook for note taking and made sure to listen to everything she said very closely.

[Crystal]

Ichigo heard the girl's voice again she was shocked but she made sure her ears a tail stayed in. "Hello!" Ichigo replied. "Have we met before? I'm Momomiya Ichigo. (Or Ichigo-chan)." Ichigo said cheerfully.

She noticed the had said "Hello again" and hoped she hadn't seen her transform. Or even recognized her. Ichigo smiled and tried not to look familiar. Ichigo also remembered she was supposed to be late and hurried off. "Anyway I'm late see ya!" Ichigo cried hurrying off to the village.
