--------------------
I, MONONOBE NO FUTO, am of PROUD LINEAGE.
It is through the efforts of MY GREAT ANCESTOR, the 11th EMPEROR OF JAPAN, that the RELIGION of SHINTO, though INFERIOR, was GIVEN one of its GREATEST LITERARY WORKS. Under my FAMILY'S proud REIGN, did SUMO become SPORT, giving kappa EVERYWHERE a WONDERFUL NEW PASTIME. Under my HONORABLE ANCESTOR, did the CONSORT KAGUYAHIME NO MIKOTO, daughter of KING OTSUTSUKITARINE NO MIKO gain her FAME as an UNEARTHLY BEAUTY, and did the tale READ by CHILDREN ACROSS JAPAN come to being.
My NOBLE LINEAGE, though STEEPED in VILE SHINTO, Is responsible for the CREATION of LEGENDS!
DOES THE BLOOD OF LEGENDS NOT FLOW THROUGH ME? HAVE I NOT PRIDE!?
AM I NOT MONONOBE!?
I slam BOTH of my MIGHTY HANDS onto the WOODEN PORCH on EITHER SIDE of my MAGNIFICENT THIGHS, VALIENTLY ignoring the SLICKENED LIQUID SHAME on my FINGERS. I begin to PUSH MYSELF UP, VILE BURN BE DAM-
The HAKUREI yanks my PONYTAIL harder, RAMMING the GOHEI so far DOWN my throat that I can FEEL the BURN in my poor STOMACH. Between the BLINDING PAIN and the VOMIT that EVEN NOW bubbles AROUND the blessed WAND, I feel my STRENGTH LEAVE me. As I FALL back on my RUMP, I am met with a HORRIFYING SIGHT, even through my TEAR-BLURRED vision.
The Hakurei LOOMS over me, like a MONUMENT to ALL of JAPAN'S CREATURES most TERRIBLE FEARS, the SUN, at her BACK, casting her in DREADFUL SHADOW. I cannot FIGHT the HAKUREI. I can only APOLOGIZE to EVERYONE that I've FAILED on this quest so SOON. I prepare to DIE like this, chocking on a MEAGER SUBSTITUTE for a PHALLUS. I APOLOGIZE to his HOLINESS, TOYOSATOMIMI NO MIKO, for NEVER returning HOME. I apologize to TOJIKO, for NEVER TELLING her that, for a SOGA, she's a VERY GOOD FRIEND. I APOOLOGIZE to the FUJIWARA, for NOT FINDING her and being the GREATEST HUSBAND a MAIDEN COULD DREAM OF for her. I APOLOGIZE to GORGAR, for NEVER figuring out her STORY. I apologize to the cute DELIVERY BOY who might have a CRUSH on me for STRINGING HIM along for FREE BOXES for my CAT. I apologize to SEIGA for-
Wait, why am I the one apologizing to SEIGA?
The Hakurei INTERRUPTS my thoughts, her NEVER-CHANGING tone sending SHIVERS through me, from my HEAD all the WAY down to my TOES.
"I'm going to make things worse for you now. Stop fighting or I'll punish you more. Understand?"
I cannot SPEAK, save to COUGH around the WOODEN INTRUDER currently SOAKING in SPIT AND BIL-
The HAKUREI begins SLAMMING the ROD into my throat as though PLUNGING it CLEAN.
"I asked a question. Answer."
She knows FULL WELL that I CANNOT comply! She'll not LET me SPEAK! With no WARNING, however, the GOHEI is RIPPED from my THROAT, causing me to VOMIT before I can even REACT fast enough to VOMIT into the GRASS, or even TURN my HEAD. The RESULTING MESS flies HEAVENWARD for but a MOMENT before it covers my FACE and gets on my CLOT-
My THROAT is CLOGGED by a BURNING GOHEI again.
"I told you to answer me, not vomit. Now answ-"
The Hakurei stops ABRUPTLY, looking PAST my HEAD at SOMETHING behind ME. I hear a SMALL VOICE continue SPEAKING, so quiet as to ALMOST be naught MORE than a THOUGHT.
-j-just... stop! stop hurting her! you're scaring me!
As Reimu STARES at the SOURCE of the VOICE, the GOHEI slowly SINKS DEEPER into my THROAT.
"She paid me."
The SMALL VOICE only just BARELY can be HEARD over my GURGLING.
[i]o-oh. um, then... uh... i'll just be... wait, is she trying to say something?[i]
---
FINALLY! A CHANCE TO SPEAK! I must make my THOUGHTS know to ALL!
[ ] "DAMN YOU, LET ME SPEAK!"
[ ] "I'M [b]SORRY!"
- [ ] And THUS did the MONONOBE WEEP PITEOUSLY.
[ ] Just WEEP. We will not DIE before our MISSION is DONE.
[ ] "Thank you, fair maiden. you have saved me from great shame in my moment of weakness."
[ ] Kiss the Hakurei. Vomitous VENGENCE!
[ ] "I'm hungry."
[ ] "I hate authors."
[ ] Anon? A helpful write-in would be appreciated...

You set us upon this path, anon! You cannot resist the Hakurei when it is too late!
Well, you COULD, it's just... Never really wise...
