[h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2]

To be honest, there was a great deal of things happening right now that Youmu didn't entirely understand. She was hardly unaware of how things were run in Gensokyo, but this seemed markedly different. Still, she understood the situation itself. This... was not the world she knew. Somehow, universes had been connected in a way that would allow people from them to be transported between different worlds. This was another version of the world she knew. The same went for nearly everyone here. And this, naturally, was dangerous. This world didn't seem prepared for many of the threats present in different universes on its own. No, what the half-phantom girl didn't understand was just who all these other people were. Things were happening quite quickly, and to put it simply there had been no time for proper introductions. Certainly, Youmu had introduced herself with a bow, but there did not seem to be time for proper introductions on the part of the many individuals representing... different countries, perhaps? Was that the function they were serving?

There wasn't any further time to wonder, however.

Youmu knew that hole in the air. The purple void filled with unblinking eyes. The deep pit of blackness was familiar to her, after all, the one who controlled such a space was a frequent guest at Hakugyokurou.

"Yakumo-sama?!" Youmu almost immediately shot to her feet, placing a hand on Roukanken's hilt as she did. This was... this was strange, why was she here? Who... who was that?

The girl in some sort of military outfit...

There was silence for several moments, aside from the words of the silver-haired girl known as Altair and the white-haired girl who introduced herself as Elizabeth. Then, as swiftly as they had appeared, they were gone.

And then, next to her ear, another gap.

Yakumo Yukari's words.

"... Y... Yuyuko... -sama...?"

For a moment, the fact that Yakumo had been rather calm and unconcerned and that there must be a reason for that didn't sink in. All that reached Youmu, after everything, was the fact that Yuyuko had disappeared. A feeling like sinking lead hit the small girl in the chest. Yuyuko-sama... had disappeared. Dully, Youmu sat down, eyes fixed ahead. No... what had happened? What had happened to the one she served with all her heart? Where had she gone? Certainly, Youmu's deepest desire had been to return home, but if Yuyuko was not there, if she could not return to Yuyuko-sama's side...

Needless to say, it was obvious that Youmu was distraught over the news. Perhaps, if she thought for a moment, she'd realize in all likelyhood Yuyuko was in this world...

But even then, what if she wasn't?
