Instead of... Really doing anything special, you hang out with everyone a bit. With your team, with Neru and Kimi... You have some fun, but learn nothing special about what was going on.
---
"Alright... Are you ready to leave?" your sister's voice echoes through the room. You nod at her, before waving at Nagi, Kimimaro and Neru... I'll see you all later you say and grab onto Frederica as she starts to gather energy and focus for the long teleportation to Gekkogakure... Although the distance should be a slight shorter than the distance between Konoha and the Sound....
---
And thus, it takes less than the time it took Frederica to charge chakra and calculate the coordinates between the Sound and Konoha. Of course, this was also because Frederica is a lot more used to teleporting to Gekkogakure than just about everywhere in the world... And thus, you arrive on Gekkogakure's soil. Disorientated from the teleportation for a second, you close your eyes for a second to reorientate yourself... As you open your eyes, you can hear Reimu actually scream in terror and you hear a soft thump... Looking to the side, you noticed that she had lost her footing and had fallen down... She was shaking in fear.
Remilia and Flandre rushed over to her to help her up... But immediately, as the sisters let go of her, she tumbled down onto the ground again... Reimu was extremely shocked by what she saw. "N-No way... T-This... r-Really?" she said... Her voice hinted that she as about to cry... Frederica moved to her and sat down next to her... "This is... The aftermath of our war... she muttered, rather weakly...
It's understandable why Reimu was so shocked. It was understandable why Frederica sounded so... Weak.
In Konoha, the two Kage level combatants were locked in a cage, and the fight was called off early for the rest... Plus, nobody had any truely large scale jutsu that could devastate massive areas of the village as a side effect...
But Gekkogakure had those.
Of the village... There was little left standing. Half of an house was here, a crater there... In the distance, you can see some houses that look undamaged... But as your eyes focus on the distance more, you can see that that's nothing more than an illusion garnered from perspective.. Everything around you was shattered. Broken. The damage here was so... Heavy, it really couldn't be called a village anymore. As you spin around... You can see that only two buildings are mostly unharmed... Or maybe they were repaired first?
The Kage's tower was mainly unharmed, only having a part of it cleaved out here and there... And the hospital seemed actually... Structurally undamaged... Did the war avoid it on purpose? Did your dearest parents realize that it would be inhumane to fight around the hospital? Or was it simply repaired first because of the sheer amount of casualties?
You wince softly... Even though you were kicked out and remember barely anything of the village, it's still your home... And even though you should rather hate than accept it, it still... Hurts.
A: Go visit Touma... There's something you need to undo.
B: Mission comes first. Go visit your mother.
C: Friends come first... Go visit Mokou, Alice and Misaka (whoever that is again?), seeing as they're still assumably in the hospital.

"Misaka" looks like "Mufasa". And you missed a perfect WEEK moment there Metal.
Also, why did Reimu get kicked out of Gekko again? And where's Gamepimp?

There'll be plenty, PLENTY week moments coming up really soon.
Reimu didn't get kicked out. She left of her own accord. Combination of guilt, hope that Shiko would be able to reverse Frederica's current condition and some other factors lead her to leave Gekko upon seeing Shikoro.

So let's do the feel good one first and the 'see just how much of an ass Shiko used to be' second.
Oh, and it's a seal on our memories? I though that Neru had rewritten our mind.

I just used the world 'seal' because I'm lazy. She 'unwrote' it by deactivating all of our event memory, but this way is imperfect, hench, some of our memories returning.

Do we really want to unlock all those unpleasant memories before meeting Erika? She seems like the sort of person who Shiko would lose her temper with rather quickly, and I doubt those memories would help. Besides, we'd probably get knocked out for a while when we get them back.

(Can reverse that question, though. Do you really want to see Erika while you aren't at the pinnacle of power with how, um, nice she is?)
You decide to go check out the hospital soon... Seeing as it's the only building left standing, there's a chance there's more people than just your friends rooted there, too... You wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing to be seen by the general populous of Gekkogakure. With how you were supposedly 'dead' after being thrown out for treason... You really hope it won't generate more problems than it's worth...
"Can we go to the hospital first, Frederica...? Mokou's still there, right? As well as our other friends..." she states. Frederica rises up and grabs onto Reimu... Lifting her up with her. Reimu clings onto Frederica for... Probably balance. But seeing as her terrorized face slowly started to disappear... And made way for a smile as her eyes remained close... Well. It was obvious that balance wasn't the only reason she was holding onto her so tightly. The fact that you knew about her feelings made that even more obvious.
Frederica softly nods at you... Her emotions had dissipated again, mostly, over the time it took her eye to heal... However, even then. She seemed a bit more cheerful than how she was the last time to saw her... Which was slightly comforting. Were her emotions starting to return, from the sealed state they were in? That's... A good thing, right? "They're all there... Don't know if they're awake, though. And Mokou might've left for home..." she said. Well, dammit... At least Alice should still be there, right?
---
After a few minutes of walking... After the first half of which, Reimu's ability to walk returned to her and she started using her own two legs. entering the hospital... Immediately. A lot of stares fall upon you. You can't help but look away... It wasn't all unwanted... Some of the stares just felt welcoming... Hell. Most of them did. After all, you betrayed the 'criminal of Gekko', right? Frederica, on the other hand, was getting much less appreciated glaring.
"Oh, Reimu... I won't ask you were you've been... But your mother is laying in the hospital, injured as well." the man behind the counter says... Reimu looks shocked from this and bites her bottom lips. She probably expected it, she was probably told it... However, that doesn't make it any less hurtful. "Third floor, fourth room." he continued... "That's right next to Alice and Misaka's room..." Frederica responds... Before you start walking up the stairs to that room.
Reimu immediately goes into the room next to your destination as you step into the one you were heading for... Mokou was leaning against the wall, arms crossed... Mostly unharmed. A smile pops up on your face as you see her like that... Her eyes calmly open and glare at both you and your sister. "You took far too long, Frederica." she said. Frederica responded with a soft nod...
...Alice was laying on the bed on the left. her entire left side was wrapped up... as well as her right eye. She wasn't as lucky as Mokou, it seemed. On the bed next to it, the girl you assume is Misaka is wrapped up. All of her body, instead of her face, was wrapped tight... It seemed like she wouldn't be able to move at all in that state. Her short, brown hair covered the most of her face.. Her eyes rolled over at you, staring at you.
A: Talk to Mokou.
B: Talk to Alice.
C: Talk to Misaka.
D: Go over to the next room over to comfort Reimu.
E: stay silent.

You slowly pace over to Mokou... You've kinda missed her since the last time you've seen her. She looks neutrally at you... Which was a huge improvement over the killing she always had in her eyes before now. A smile softly appears on your face from her reaction alone... Leaving Mokou's face to fall into something more confused than the neutral glance she had earlier "...What?" she asked sheepishly... Obviously not realising what was going on.
Her left hand moved to her the back of her hair and she scratched her neck, confused "Somethin' on my face?" she asked, and you shake your head. "Nah. Sorry. I was just thinking... you respond to her question and stand besides her, leaning against the wall and crossing your arms, as she did just earlier... Mokou's eyes stare at you confused for a few moments longer before she does the exact same thing....
"How've you been...?" you ask, you have no idea how to start a conversation with Mokou. You don't know her likes, her dislikes, or anything about her other than the fact that you used to be rivals and that her bloodline limit is controlling heat. "Before this? Fine, I guess..." she replies, looking over at you. Still, you can see a hint of confusion in her face... Hell, it wasn't just a hint. It was practically written all over. "...Its still strange... How this arrogant, prissy bitch turned into someone that liked stuff other than stepping on people's emotions all of the time..." Mokou says, quite obviously referring to the old you.
"Sorry... I really was a bitch back then, huh?" you ask, she lets out a small laugh and nods. "Yeah, yeah. You're a lot more fun this way." she said... Showing an actual smile, in a reflexive response, you smile as well... Mokou, too, was acting different. It wasn't just you. You remember her as a ragey bitch who wanted to crush everyone and everything... Hell, the last time you saw her, she was like that, too... Something caused her to change... Was it this?
Or was she just... Normally like this? Stress gotten to her or something? You have no idea... You wish you knew more about her. "Got any hobbies...?" you decide to ask something more random in hopes to learn more about her, but Mokou just shrugs "Training I guess... Swimming, too. You?" Mokou in a swimsuit instantly appears in your mind and you decide to not mention the irony of a fire and heat user liking swimming, and just nod "I don't have any real hobbies... Haven't had any time since I lost my memories to make some." you say. "That's a massive improvement over the stepping on people hobby you had." for some reason.. That hurt...
Did you really step on Mokou that much... Just why... would you do that?
Before you have time to question it... Reimu enters the room. Her face is obviously... Well. Hurt. She lets out a sigh and sits down on the side of Alice's bed, where Frederica just arrived as well, after speaking to Misaka for a bit... Frederica looks at her for a second, but Reimu merely shakes her head. "Don't wanna talk about it..." she says... That's oddly uncharacteristic of her... Especially to Frederica... Whom she really adored, and minutes earlier, was cheered up by by only leaning against her.
A: Stay here.
B: Leave, search for Touma.
C: Leave, search for Erika.
D: Leave, specify what or who to search for.
If anything other than A:
1: Mokou... Frederica is the only one that can cheer up Reimu, plus, you get to spend time with her.
2: Reimu... Can't leave her alone now.
3: Frederica. She knows the village best.
4: Remilia.. Should have some knowledge of the layout of the village remaining.
5: Flandre. Who knows what the hell she'll do if left alone here in a hospital.
6: Combination of those above. Specify.
7: Go alone.
