Hakurei Shrine

[powerrave]

Reimiki was sitting under the roof of the shrine, staring at the rain. It was a rainy day in Gensokyo and most people stayed indoors. Reimiki sighed and took a sip from her tea. She was still unaware of her ability, despite the fact that water was everywhere.
"I don't like rain. It makes days be boring." She said, staring into her cup of tea. She looked up to the sky from under the roof. "I hope it stops soon."

[Hana Tohsaka]

Hana was sitting there together with Reimiki, her was cold but she was happy that they could get tea (and that she could serve a cup to Remiki). "I really hate rain too ... I want that the sun comes back soon!" she said.

[powerrave]

"Me too. It keeps the people away from the shrine."
She looked around a bit. "And Reimu isn't here. I guess this is my first day as an actual shrine maiden then."

[Hana Tohsaka]

"We can play in the shrine Reimiki". Hana was happy about this idea.

[powerrave]

"We can!" Reimiki shouted happily and looked inside the shrine.

[Hana Tohsaka]

Hana goes slowly into the shrine and walks around in the rooms. "Reimiki come in, it looks awesome here!"

[powerrave]

Reimiki follows Hana and stares. "Pretty~"

[Hana Tohsaka]

"Reimiki ... how long do you think we can stay in this shrine?". Hana wondered why the maiden of the shrine was still away.

[powerrave]

Remiki looked at Hana. "I don't know."

Some time later, a silver haired women came walking towards the shrine. She held an umbrella above her head. "Seems like it's pretty silent here. I guess I won't stay here for too long then." she thought to herself.

[Hana Tohsaka]

Hana noticed the woman and goes to the shrine entry to watch her.

[powerrave]

The women dropped a donation into the donation box and prayed, like she does every week. After that, she noticed that there was someone in the shrine. Reimiki had joined Hana, wanting to see who was there. She then saw the silver haired women. The first thing she noticed was the eye-patch.
"Hello there, young ones. I am Alice Smith."

[Hana Tohsaka]

Hana bows down before the woman, like she learned it. "Hello ma'am, I am Hanna Tohsaka and this is Reimiki Harukei. Nice to meet you."

[powerrave]

Reimiki bows too. Alice shows a soft smile. "Nice to meet you two too. So, the older shrine maiden is not around I guess." She said, looking at the two young girls.
"We don't know where Reimu is, so we here here to watch over the shrine." Reimiki replied.

[Hana Tohsaka]

Hana looked at the woman, but she din't say anything. She wondered if the woman could be dangerous.

[powerrave]

"I see.." Alice said, looking at the two. "I'll be leaving some fresh tea here and will most probably head back to earth. Please do tell Reimu if you see her."
Alice walked inside as Reimiki smiled at her. Alice got a little box out of her pocket that contained teabags and placed the box on a table.
Reimiki looked at Hana. "Are you also curious to know why she has an eye patch?"

[Hana Tohsaka]

Maybe she was hurted by a monster!

[powerrave]

"Would there be monsters on earth?" Reimiki said. Then Alice approached the two.
"I'm afraid that the truth is rather different. In the eye's of the people there, I am the monster. There are groups that hunt me, thinking it is the right thing to do." Alice sighed. "Would you two want to learn why I am seen as a monster, despite that I am just a human."

[Hana Tohsaka]

"I want to learn, b..but Reimiki have to decide!" said the young maid.

[powerrave]

"I want to learn too!" Reimiki quickly added.
Alice sat down near the two and took a deep breath. "Well okay then. I'll tell you two. It all started when I was born with a rather odd left eye..."

[Hana Tohsaka]

Hana is listening to the words of the woman.

[powerrave]

"... Might right eye, as you can see, it just a dark red. But my left eye, even when I was just born, was a bright yellow. Even a small glow comes from it. People what looked into that eye became scared and quickly gave it the name 'The Devils Eye'. My actual parents were scared of me and didn't know how to handle this, so I was put up for adoption. I was taken in by a family in Japan that had an idea of how to handle this... Problem. I was given an eye-patch that I had to wear at all times. Some weeks later, The news about The Devils Eye had spread. Me and my family got threatened. This went on for years.
One day, I began to practice the usage of the eye, mainly to gain more control over it. I learned to use its power, the power to visually alter reality. Though it's still not easy to use, at least it isn't completely useless. Anyway, at that time, a group came to the house and attacked us. I was the only one to survive. My parents were dead and the group, removed from reality itself. From there on, I lived my life alone, not being respected by anyone despite the high grades and all. They all just looked at me like I was a demon, or the devil itself.
In all my time alive, I had gained quite a lot of high positions. I've worked as a lawyer and now I work for a special team called Public Security Section 9. It is around that time that I met the vampire Masako Yore, who also worked there. She showed me Gensokyo, a world where there are a lot of beings that earth would never allow. It gave me hope. And after a little accident, it also gave me an exo-suit. The suit was generated by my left eye, so you can guess that it is rather special."

She then stopped, thinking that she was talking a bit much. In the meantime, the rain was slowly stopping as well.

[Hana Tohsaka]

Hana looked at Reimiki. "Can we believe her??" she asked.

[powerrave]

Reimiki looked at Hana and then back at Alice. "I think we can." Reimiki said softly.

[Hana Tohsaka]

"Ok, me and Reimiki-sama believe you~" said Hana.
