Nearly 400 years had bone by since Eirin had last seen her... though by Lunarian standards that wasn't normally a very long time, to Eirin, it felt like an eternity had passed.
She sat in her shop at Eientei, staring at the medicine she was preparing but not really seeing them. Kaguya and Reisen were alright; they would probably be left alone by the emissaries at the moon, and were being watched over by Tewi for the time being. But for once, she was not worrying about the Lunar Princess and the Moon Rabbit.
"Matoki..." After seeing her. Eirin could not stop thinking about her older sister, the one that had vanished 400 years ago.

"Matoki!" Eirin stood up, joy in her grey eyes at seeing the other. She moved forward, embracing her older sister. "Are you hunting more demons?" Eirin looked concerned.
Matoki held her. "Of course. You know that the Lunar World and Gensokyo aren't safe unless the demons have been taken out."
The younger Lunarian sighed, letting go of Matoki. "Which ones, this time?"
Matoki looked determined, pulling out one silver knife. "Recently, there have been Vampires. They have moved into the mansion across the lake."
"Vampires?!" Eirin stared at her. "Are you foolish?! You have never taken down a vampire before!"
"Everything will be okay, Eirin!" Matoki smiled back, fingering her knife. "These vampires are mere children. They cannot be that powerful."
"Please... please, just come back, sister," Eirin said, looking at the knife of silver, much like the silver of her bow and arrows. "I know you are powerful, with your manipulation of time and space, but... I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Trust me, Eirin," Matoki said, heading towards the door. "You will see me again, once I finish up."
Matoki never came back.

Eirin Yagokoro smiled, hearing the noises of different people following her as she led them away from where Princess Kaguya was hiding. Tewi and Reisen may have failed, but she had given Eirin enough time to hide the princess before the others caught up to her.
Once Eirin had led the group far, far away from Kaguya, she turned around -- oh dear. She had distinctly remembered seeing a total of eight people, half of them being distracted by Tewi and the other half by Reisen. Hopefully, the other four hadn't found Kaguya... She hadn't studied the people, but she took a good look at them now. Two humans, a Youkai, and a Vampire.
She studied the Youkai first, a young-looking blond-haired girl in a blue and white dress and brown boots. Eirin had never seen her before, but the girl seemed to have the powers of controlling puppets and dolls. An interesting one, teaming up with humans.
The Vampire was studied next. This Vampire looked rather young, only about the age of a ten-year-old human, but she had a sense of age around her, though of course, not nearly as old as her. She had blue hair, and a pink-dress that seemed to have been... stained?
The Human sitting at the broomstick seemed to just be an ordinary teenaged human with a large amount of magical power. A witch, most likely. She had blond-hair, like the Youkai, and was wearing a traditional witch outfit.
After studying the three of them, she turned to the fourth member, the second Human that was standing closer to the Vampire than anyone else, and...
Eirin nearly stuttered in what she was saying. The girl had silvery-white hair and grey eyes just like Eirin, and was fingering some familiar silver knives as if ready to throw them.
Matoki?
---
But could it be...? That girl, standing with the other three, looked nearly identical to her sister... and during battle, had proven to have the same time-space manipulation abilities that Matoki had... However, the others called her Sakuya, and Sakuya was well-known to be the maid for a pair of Vampires in the Scarlet Devil Mansion...
Could it really have been her sister? If it was Matoki, though, then why would she be dressed in a maid's outfit, accompanied by a Human, a Youkai, and a Vampire of all creatures?! How did... how did Matoki Yagokoro end up becoming Sakuya Izayoi, the maid to Vampires...?
Sakuya didn't say anything that sounded familiar, but there had been a bit of a puzzled look in her eyes as she looked at Eirin. The only solution that Eirin could draw was that Matoki had been injured and lost her memory either before or during the hunt, and had been taken in by the Vampire Remilia Scarlet as a maid. Her sister had been very powerful, after all, even for a Lunarian...
"Matoki... I will find out what happened to you." She needed to find out. She needed to figure out whether Sakuya Izayoi was her older sister, Matoki Yagokoro. Kaguya and Reisen were doing find on their own, and had Tewi and her rabbits with them. They would be alright. Eirin had plenty of time to spare, and she would take all the time that it took.
Even if it took another 400 years.

This is my first time writing a fanfic for Touhou Project, so please bear with me. n_n;; This takes place after the eighth game, Imperishable Night.
"Ma" and "Toki" are both Japanese words that mean "time", which is what I used for Sakuya's "real name". Both Sakuya and Eirin seem to have known each other canonly, though their relationship is never stated. I noticed that Eirin and Sakuya both have the same hair and eye color, and debated whether they were related or not. Eirin is confirmed to be Lunarian. Sakuya is suggested to be Human, though are several pieces of evidence to show that she is not (such as her being able to stare at the true full moon in Imperishable Night without going insane. Even Remilia was concerned about Sakuya going insane from watching it).
Main Characters: Eirin Yagokoro, Sakuya Izayoi
Mentioned Characters: Kaguya Houraisan, Reisen Udongein Inaba, Tewi Inaba, Remilia Scarlet, Marisa Kirisame, Alice Margatroid
