“Just how long are you planning to lay about?!” she asked a split second before unleashing a most vicious attack. The world spun around as I tumbled to the floor, crashing onto a pile of old newspapers.
“I was trying to take a nap!” I snapped indignantly, smarting from the fall. Why the hell would you put a hammock next to a window with a view if you didn’t want people just laying around and sleeping? Three days with her and already I felt like I’d never understand her.
The feeling was very mutual, apparently.
“It’s been three days already, you can’t keep doing just nothing,” she scowled, crossing her arms as she looked down at me. “I’ve got my next edition just about done and all you’ve accomplished in the meantime is to scarf down most of my snacks.”
I sprung up to my feet and patted away the dust. “A bit gutsy of you to be so disrespectful. I mean, chances are, one day I’ll be your leader.” I cocked my eyebrow, trying to stare her down. I was taller, so if she thought she could just push me around, she was dead wrong.
“That’s the whole point,” she paused and bit her lower lip, clearly thinking it more prudent to not be quite so insultingly candid. Grabbing her fan from nearby, she began to smack it gently but firmly into the palm of a hand, using the prop to underscore her words, “if you don’t complete the ceremony, you will never be a leader. Instead, you’ll be little more than a petulant child forever.”
“Hey now, Aya,” I frowned, “I’ve completed my coming-of-age ceremony just like you. Just because you’re like a two or three years older, doesn’t mean you have to act like you’re much better than me.”
“Says the twerp who just tried to pull rank on me,” Aya swiftly smacked me on the top of my head with her fan. It didn’t hurt. She was holding back. “Until you’re accepted as part of the leader caste, you’re about as important as the common crow. Don’t you forget that. Now don’t make me regret promising to help you out.”
“Promise? Father forced you to,” I smirked, “heard your little newspaper might get taxed quite a bit if I fail. All those inks and paper… real expensive stuff, would be a shame if they got even more expensive. Could even force an independent paper out of business due to spiraling cost.”
She rolled her eyes. “Nice try. But unlike you I don’t need to be threatened to help out my fellow tengu. An elder asks for a favor, I gladly help out however I can. It’s our way.”
“What’s the deal with all the machinery, anyhow?” I deflected. Even though her home was a simple two-room affair, it was filled to the brim with stuff whose purpose I couldn’t divine. All those handles, gears and latches moved as if they had a mind of their own. The first day I had arrived, I watched Aya work them, feeding the machines both ink and paper but I still didn’t quite understand the process. All I knew was that I had been given a little corner by a window and had been told to sleep in the hammock.
“Don’t change the subject,” Aya rebuked, and pushed me towards the window. She pointed at the village nestled between the trees and the occasional plume of smoke that extended all the way to the base of the mountain. “If you don’t shape up and take this seriously, you’re going to disappoint all the people out there. Like it or not, you’re the first tengu in years to have a shot to join the council.”
“Yeah, yeah, and I bet you’ll tell me that if I fail then all the young tengu will have no one to speak for them,” I brushed her off, “funny, I’m told to do my best but I’m usually then reminded that the elders know best whenever I criticize the process.”
“It’s the way we’ve done it for as long as anyone can remember,” Aya said quietly, repeating a familiar line,“only the most clever, audacious and wise of us are fit to lead. If you can’t find others to speak for you and attest to your deeds, then you can’t hope to ever succeed.”
“Aya-”
“It’s Ms. Shameimaru to you,” she cut me off, “you’re under my care, so treat me with respect. Come on, let’s go into the village. Maybe it’ll inspire you to start to take this more seriously when you meet the people you’re going to represent.”
Man, she was bossy. But maybe she had a point. I wasn’t going to get anywhere just sitting around. It was time to spread my wings, so to speak, and prove myself worthy of my birthright...
That kind of junk sounded embarrassing even in my own head.
We were through the door and on the way down to the square when I spoke up, ignoring her call for formality, “Yo, Aya?”
“Yes?” she sighed, clearly deciding it wasn’t worth scolding me again.
“Why do you have to be so cold to your childhood friend like that?”
“We barely knew each other as children,” she frowned, “hung out with different crowds. Just how hard did you hit your head earlier?”
“To think I was just about to call you cute. That is, when you’re not busting my chops,” I clicked my tongue, making up an outrageous lie. She was cute, but I would never seriously admit it. I’d never hear the end of her teasing if I did!
“Oh shaddup,” Aya hit me with her fan again. It seemed to give her an idea. Her brow scrunched momentarily and then a smile formed on her lips. “Tell you what, I’ll race you to the square. No flying, to make it fairer. If I win you behave like a good little boy for the rest of the day. And if you win...”
“You have to be nicer to me. None of this badgering. Oh and you kiss me in public. Cheek is fine, just to let the others know what’s really up.”
“Aren’t you asking for a bit much?” Aya sighed. But quickly enough, a cocky smile flashed across her lips, “fine, I accept. I’m not going to lose.”
That was where she was wrong. I had already thought up a cunning plan. The square was between hewed stone and tall trees. A direct route wasn’t necessarily the fastest as there were countless drops and obstacles that could add or shave precious seconds in a race. Not to mention that racing with countless youkai about was always a challenge, one never knew when one would literally run into someone else… or whose feathers you’d end up ruffling.
[] Keep as close to Aya as possible. She’ll slip up with the constant pressure.
[] Use the route that follows the stream – it’s longer but there’s less people and obstacles.
[] Gliding over gullies and from roof to roof technically doesn’t count as flying.

Hullo, hullo, here's an easygoing story about tengu and growing up. Will also have plenty of adventure! Not in /youkai/ because it'll feature a very diverse cast of characters as we move about in Gensokyo. No real update schedule besides "when I can" which should be often enough. Starting off with a choice that'll narrow down the protagonist's personality a little more.
I'll ask that when you vote, you add a little comment. Otherwise I won't count it when tallying. Why? Because I like to steal ideas and work in stuff from the readers. Not to mention that any and all feedback is helpful. Also helps get conversation going and may inspire others to get even more creative. Doesn't have to be something too fancy: I sure won't mind even something as simple as praising Aya's sexy legs or talking to another fellow reader. I just encourage you to try and do what you can.

Gods were important and powerful, I understood that, but they really didn’t affect my day to day life. Certainly not like the tengu bosses did; the wrath of an angry great tengu certainly hurt a lot more people than a curse from a god in my experience.

That said, she was staring at me. Staring close, like she expected something from me with upturned eyes. It would be wise not to confuse that for innocence or even a coquettish streak, I thought.
