Warning: this is an abuse story.

What if yukkuris were treated like plants? I'm not trying to make
plants sound like yukkuris, but if people treated yukkuris the way
they treated plants.... I think it would be interesting.

A few things:

In this story: Yukkuri-plants cannot move. People cannot understand
what they're saying. To them, the yukkuri is just a plant. So this
is written mostly from a yukkuri's perspective.

On with the show!


=====

What if yukkuris were treated like plants?

“Yu~ Yu~ Miss is home~!”
“Hey hey little one.”

It's the 3rd day at miss's easy place.

Reimu smiled brightly as miss tossed a little plate of water before
her, loading up a little bowl of yukkuri food so that she could munch-
munch to her heart's content. Then she watched miss take off her
jacket and throw it on the couch. Reimu shrugged and bent down,
scooping up a little pellet with her braid and tossing it in her
mouth.

“Happiness~!!”

The miss human smiled as Reimu beamed happily back at her. Miss was a
very easy person, she looked long and hard at all the other yukkuris
but found that Reimu was a much easier yukkuri than the others. She
bought Reimu's favorite type of munch-munch and set Reimu next to the
window so she could get lots of warm-mister sun during the day when
miss is away.

When miss is away, Reimu would bathe in the warm rays and hum to
herself quietly. She'd nap, happily wave to mister sun, and
occasionally mister squirrel would come and play.

Life was very easy.

When miss comes home, she'd talk to Reimu and give her some munch-
munch, even if she hasn't finished the ones already there yet. Miss
is so generous, Reimu feels the need to perk up extra hard for miss!!

Life was so easy! Even if Reimu can't move, mister sun, mister water
and mister munch-munch is all she needed to be happy!

Miss's gentle voice was only the icing on the cake.

So Reimu watched as Miss yawned as she watched the TV. She wathced
miss scratch herself and get up, stretch and turn off the TV. Reimu
blinked as the room suddenly grew dark, and she called out to miss
with her melodic voice.

“Good night miss~!”

====


It's been a few weeks since Reimu began living in miss's easy place.

She still had the easy mister water, but she hated days like these.
Mister sun was hiding and lots and lots of mister water was coming
down outside as well. She listened to the gentle 'tap tap tap' on the
window, and wondered if mister sun was ever going to come back out.
Not that she could hear or see much else. Miss had forgotten to lift
the drape up in the morning when she went out to work.

Reimu was hungry too. Miss had forgotten for the 3rd day in a row to
leave mister munch-munch for her.

“.... Hungry....”

Reimu sighed. She was fine with just water for a little bit, but it's
starting to get harder to ignore the rumbling growls in her tummy.

The door clicked, and Reimu twirled around to give miss a huge smile.

“Welcome home, miss~!”

But miss only shrugged and turned right into the kitchen to start
cooking her own easy munch-munch. Reimu watched as miss cooked the
food (filling the room with an easy delicious smell), eat it, and then
go about her business until it was very dark outside. Reimu watched
as miss turned off all the lights and walked into the bedroom.

Miss never even said hi, and Reimu was running out water.

=====


“... dying.... “

Reimu laid limply on the windowsill. There had been no mister water
nor mister food for a really long time. It has been many days when
miss came and went... but she kept forgetting to give Reimu mister
munch-munch and mister water. Some days miss would come and look at
her as she lifted the drapes, and Reimu would give miss a hopeful
look... but miss just went out without leaving her anything.

Her throat was parched, and today she couldn't hold it anymore. She
toppled over after miss went out, and felt the warm mister sun poking
at her slightly. She didn't care anymore, she was probably going to
die.

And she didn't know how many hours passed. But when she woke up, she
felt a satisfying moisture in her throat as well as a belly full of
food. An apologetic miss was gently rubbing her head, and a fresh
plate of water and food-pellets sat before Reimu.

“So sorry, I kept forgetting to water and feed you.”
“Yu yu, it's ok miss!! Reimu is strong!”

And Reimu beamed back at miss, but miss had already turned to her own
business.

======

Reimu smiled, singing softly as the little stalk on her head grew day
by day. It was filled with her little ones, soft gentle faces that
smiled and yu'd lightly in their deep slumber.

“Little ones~ Grow up big to be happy with mommy and miss~”
“....”
“Little ones~ Be born easy~”
“...”

The little baby buds on the stalk smiled at their mother's soothing
voice. Reimu smiled, eagerly awaiting miss to find another little pot
for her little ones.

One little koyukkuri started shaking, and Reimu grinned widely,
shaking herself gently.

“Little ones, be born easy~!”
“.... being bown eaj-”

Splat.

Reimu's smile froze as the first little koyukkuri fell from the stalk
to splash against the windowsill like a little berry.

“LIDDLE ONEEEE~!!!”

Reimu screamed as the little koyukkruis twitched once and stopped
moving.

“LITTLE ONES~!!! Don't get born until miss comes homeeee~!!!!”

But they wouldn't listen. They started shaking and moving.

====

“BUT WHYYYYYY~!!!”
“Eaj-YUPLEH!!!”

Reimu wailed as the last little koyukkuri plopped down, splashing
against a little pan that miss had placed underneath her stalk.

All of her little koyukkuris, gone. Dead.

Reimu wailed as miss came by to take away the little pan, crying and
begging to see her little ones one last time.

“MISSSSSS~!!! Hasn't Reimu been good!?!?”

But miss human turned to dump the bodies of the little koyukkuri into
the trash without so much as a second look. She washed the pan, and
Reimu watched as little ribbons slowly made their way into the big
sink that miss puts all the pots and other dishes and dumps all the
garbage.

Reimu screamed in pain as miss took a pair of sissors and snipped off
her stalk. She watched as miss hummed happily to dump the stalk into
the trash as well.

What did she do wrong?

====

The next day Reimu awoke to a loud clack.

She saw before her a large bowl of water and a large bowl of mister
pellets. She saw that the drapes have been drawn back and mister sun
is still not out yet.

Miss pet Reimu gently on the head before rushing towards the door with
a big rolling bag, and Reimu frowned but softly called out to miss.

“Take it easy, miss...”

Her cut was still sore. Her koyukkuris were still dead. But miss
probably wanted to make it up to her with all the extra food and
mister munch-munch. Reimu is understanding, after all miss has given
her such an easy place and is such an easy person.

So she eagely lapped up the water.

But miss didn't come home that night. Or the next. Or the next.

****


“Phew, that was a long trip!!! Hope my little plant-yukkuri is still
ok! I left it extras before I left...”

She turned the key and budged the door open with her shoulder. She
took off her shoes, taking a deep breath as she rolled her luggage
down into her bedroom, opening it to take out all the little trinkets
and clothes she bought while she was abroad.

She tossed all the dirty clothes into the laundry hamper, untied her
hair and changed into something nice and comfortable. She folded up
what needed to be put away, checked her purse and put away her little
traveling bag. She walked over to her Reimu-plant and frowned.

“Aw, is it dead?”

She poked the little Reimu-plant, and it moaned lightly. Delighted,
miss walked over to the sink and filled a cup of water, lifting up
Reimu's mouth to let the liquid gush into her mouth. She poked one of
Reimu's blackened braids, and sighed. She took the sissors and
snipped it off, not noticing Reimu screaming and shivering as she did.

"REIMU'S BEAUDIFUL MISDER BRAIIIIIDDDD~!!!!"

Then she tossed in a few pellets in its mouth, and went off to do her
laundry.

Reimu twitched and cried, the pain of losing her braid somehow
alleviated by the new food and water. She will probably grow another
one sooner or later.

****

“Yu.... Yu...”

Reimu shook as she watched miss walk out the door. Is she coming
back? Is she coming back? Will Reimu ever get mister delicious water
again? Will Reimu ever get mister munch-munch again? It's been a few
days. Will miss remember?

Reimu shook as mister sun seemed to mock her. The warm is of no
comfort, and she shivered as she watched the stalk on her head grow
once again.

“Yu... yu... no more little ones....”

Reimu can't take it easy. She has almost died so many times. Her
little ones have come out so many times, and miss has never let them
drop into the correct mister pot. She throws them out every time, and
never tries to save any of them. But for some reason, miss still
treats Reimu so nicely. Reimu wonders if miss is mocking her.

Reimu can't sing to her little ones anymore. They'll just die
anyway.

Only one thing is for certain.

There will be one time when miss is too late to give Reimu mister
water and mister munch-munch. But Reimu never knows when that day
will come. She can only feel herself grow older day by day.

So Reimu can never take it easy again.

It just spawns the little koyukkuris once in a while. Sorta like
flowering plants like orchids. They'd grow the flower, try to
pollinate (spread by dropping koyukkuris) and then those koyukkuris
would grow up around the mother plant. Some die off when they can't
win the fight for nutrition or sunlight, others might get carried away
by wind and land somewhere far away. (ones with big ribbons) Others
get eaten by bugs and diseases.

my initial thought on the title of the story: "greenpeace/treehuggers
will chain themselves to them when they're about to get killed" ^^

Interesting twist.

But when you said that this was an abuse story, I was thinking
something much more over-the-top.

Nah, just a warning for people expecting a family_friendly story.

I can write another one about lumberjacks and the great yukkuri forest
with chainsaw actions. :P

Reimu wiggled, and felt herself drop from her mother.

[Being bown eajy-]

She smiled as she fell. She felt the wind pick her up, sending her
soaring into the sky. She felt her ribbon expand instinctively, and
the wind sent her twirling further and further away from her mother.

She could feel her mother's warm smile resonating inside her, slowly
fading as the distance increased.

Little Reimu smiled back.

[Good bye, mommy. Reimu will be a good yukkuri somewhere far-far
away....]

And she twirled in the sky along with hundreds of other little
koyukkuris. It is the blooming season, and with every spring gust
came the millions of koyukkuris being sent into the air from their
blooming mother yukkuris. The size of dandelion seeds, little
yukkuris are sometimes sent dashing against the hard concrete, others
that landed safely will eventually wither and dry up with no soft
ground and mister water to nourish them.

Others will land on dry arid soil, incapable of sustaining any sort of
yukkuri life. Others will land on frequently trodden grass paths,
smushed underneath the wheels of automobiles, pedestrians and the
occasional bicycle.

The fortunate ones, like little Reimu, will land in a quiet patch of
grass, wiggle and squeal in delight as they find moist soil to implant
themselves. As she wiggles her feet, she will feel the moist ground
sucking and sticking against her with a tremendous force. And
finally, after she feel the moist soil against her feet for a few
days... she will open her eyes.

"... Eajy!!!"

She beamed and grinned and took a look around her for the very first
time. Lush greenery around her, moist well watered soil, full of
nutrients. She eagerly bent down to the soil and gave it a wet kiss -
sucking up the necessary nutrients and water.

"... Refweshed!!"

Little Reimu smiled and all was well.

=======

A few days passed, and Reimu felt herself growing bigger and bigger by
the day. Already she had grown to half of the length of the tall
mister grass, and she could hear her little sisters and other
unfamiliar voices calling out to her.

"Yu yu!! Mawisha ish Mawisha!! Chake id eajy!!"
"Yu? Marisa!"
"Yu yuyu? Ish that a Weimu?"
"Reimu is Reimu! Chake id eajy!!"

A little Marisa type had freshly landed next to Reimu, and they
grinned at each other at the incredible fortune. It was very rare for
two yukkuris to occupy the same plot of land, and a different yukkuri
type altogether was rarer still.

Marisa had just landed, and she still hasn't opened her eyes yet.
Reimu gently nudged Marisa a bit, and Marisa squealed as she found
purchase on the wet soil.

Reimu smiled and watched Marisa rub herself into the ground, settling
in and slowing her breath. It was tiring to get situated the first
time, but there will be plenty of time for chatting later.

She could hear her sisters and other yukkuris chatting near by, so she
decided to join in the conversation.

"Everyone, Chake id eajy!!!"
""""""Chake/Take It/id Easy/eajy~!!!!"""""

A whole chorus met her ears, and Reimu smiled. Days passed with the
warm mister sun and the chatty yukkuris all around her. On the
occasion mister rain came by to provide a refreshing shower for
everyone, and the yukkuris would all sing in the rain when it comes.

"Mister Rain~♪ "
"Mister Rain~♪ "
"Thank you for coming~♪ "
"The most easy Mister Rain~♪ "

==============

Reimu awoke to the most uneasy sound one day.

"YUUNNYAAAAA~!!!! CAN'T TAKE IT EASY~!!!!"

Reimu heard one of her sisters cry out in pain, and Reimu called out
in worry.

"Yuyu? Little sister is ok?"
"YUUNNNYAAAA~!!!! NO NO NO N--"
"Yu? Little sis?"
"...."

Yet all she heard was silence. Confused yus began ringing out around
Reimu, and Reimu looked down at the little Marisa (who still has yet
to open her eyes) before looking up at the sky. It was cloudy that
day, and slightly cold in the early spring. Reimu turned herself
around, trying to see what had happened... but she wasn't tall
enough. She couldn't see anything over the tall mister grass.

Then the paste-curdling cries came from all over this time.


"YUUNNYAAAA!!!! GO AWAYYYYYYUPLEH-"
"YUGRUGHGg---"
"LET WEIMU CHAKE ID YUGGH---"

Horrified screams were echoing throughout the field. Reimu twisted
and turned, trying to match the direction the screams were coming from
but couldn't see past the greenery. So she bent down low, shivering
and hovering over Marisa.

"Yuuuu.... Big-shish Weimu... Mawisha heard shomeshing...."
"Yuyu!! It's ok, little one!! Big-sis Reimu is here! Listen to big-
sis Reimu's easy song~!"

And Reimu sang while tears ran down her cheeks, gently caressing
little Marisa back to sleep. Soon, the screams finally stopped,
replaced by the sobbing survivors.

What in the world had happened?

========

Days passed without incident, and that day's screams slowly faded from
her memory. It hasn't happened again, and Reimu felt the days come
and go and slowly blur into one. When Reimu woke up today, she felt
something was different. Up until today, she had been waking up to
the greenery all around her. She had looked forward to seeing mister
sky as the green grass grew shorter and shorter than Reimu, and she
smiled as for the first time....

She was able to see over mister grass!

"Yu yu~ Mister grass is so little now!"

Reimu beamed as she took a good look around, twisting in place to see
what else is around. Immediately she spots another Reimu type, who
had obviously been bathing in the sun.

"Yuyu!! Reimu!"
"Yu? Ah! Reimu!!"
""TAKE IT EASY~!!!""

The two Reimu types smiled at each other. The other one was a bit
taller than she was, and it was nice to finally be able to put her
face alongside her voice.

But besides the vast swath of greenery around her, Reimu noticed
something else. An odd shape off in the distance of strange colors
that she couldn't comprehend. Big shapes slowly moving towards her.

"Yuyu? Big-sis, what is that?"
"Yu? Reimu never saw that before!"
"Yunya~!! Tell Marisa! Tell Marisa!!"

Reimu bent down low to look at little Marisa, smiling to her. Little
Marisa was growing slowly for some reason, but she will eventually
become bigger and bigger for sure.

"Yu? Ah... Reimu saw something in the distance... Big sis!! What does
Big-sis think those things are?"

When Reimu looked up again, she froze. Big sis was no longer there,
but replaced by the big figure that was off in the distance just a
little while ago. Surely something so huge couldn't have came over so
quickly.

"... Big sis?"

Her voice seemed to attract the attention of the big object, and it
immediately pounced towards her. A stinky aroma filled the air along
with heavy panting, and the large thing was immediately on Reimu,
glaring down at her with shimmering blue eyes.

"... Yugu-"

Reimu started screaming as the thing clamped down on her body and tore
her from the ground.

"YUUNNNYAAAAAA---- NOOOOOOO~!!!"
"... Big sis?!"

Marisa froze as she watched big sis Reimu get uprooted, and Marisa's
jaws slight dropped open. She watched the giant thing gnashing her
big sis-Reimu between its teeth eagerly, watching one last horrified
look from big-sis Reimu before the thing's teeth smushed her into a
sweet pulp. Other screams began to pierce through the air as the
thing bounded off with a lightning fast speed.

"NOOOO~!!!"
"HURT~!!"
"YUNYAAAA---"

Marisa covered her ears as the sharp cries seemed to draw the beast
away from her, but it seems like there were less and less screaming as
time passed. Eventually, a different voice she could barely recognize
overpowered all the others.

"Rocky!!!! Bad dog, I told you not to eat yukkuris!! C'mon boy, let's
go!!!"

The thing licked its lips, seemingly content, and bounced off away
from Marisa without giving her a second glance.

Marisa shivered as she watched the shredded remains of big-sis Reimu
next to her, her eyes wide open with unspeakable fear.

=============

He sighed as Rocky gasped and panted before plopping down on the
sidewalk, exhausted. They had been running for only 10 minutes before
the big fat dog wobbled and collapsed on the sidewalk.

"Oh Rocky, this is why I'm taking you out for a run!!! You big fat
lazy butt!!"

The dog whined and laid its head down on the sidewalk, still panting
and unwilling to move. He tugged on the leash but the dog refused to
budge, whining once again with a pitiful noise.

"Arg.... at least we're home."

The boy sighed as he dragged the dog to its feet, pushing and shoving
the big dog towards the house. He half-pushed the large Alaskian
Malamute up the stairs, then saw the dog turn longingly towards the
front lawn.

"This is what you get for eating all those yukkuris on the front lawn,
fatso!! I told you not to eat those, they're too sweet and filled
with sugar!! Bad dog!!"

Rocky whined as the boy pushed him in the house and shut the door.
The dog clawed at the door, wanting to get out to the lawn to eat more
yukkuris. They're his favorite.

"No boy!! Bad dog!!! No more yukkuris until you lose five pounds!!!"

The dog whined again. The boy looked back out at the lawn... there
was quite an infestation going on there... long stalks of yukkuris
popping up all over the place. It was annoying to look at, and the
boy supposes it was his fault for not mowing the lawn often enough.
The boy sighed, resigned to his fate. Avoiding doing chores was an
art, in a sense. You had to avoid doing it long enough so you can
have free time to play, but you can't put it off for so long that mom
starts yelling at you or have things grow out of control.

He'll have to spray yukkuri-cide on these things too.

============

Little Marisa was still shivering when a deafening uneasy noise
engulfed her world. The world around her rumbled and she pulled her
hat over her eyes.

"Can't hear it... Can't hear uneasy noise... mister uneasy noise go
away...."

Her whole world shook, and an unbelievable gust tugged and pulled at
her.... and she thought she could almost hear big sis Reimu's song as
the world seemed to end all around her. She didn't hear the screams
of the other yukkuris as they were chopped up by the lawnmower, and
she didn't see their horrified faces as the spinning blades came her
way. Little Marisa's stunted growth had allowed the whipping blades
to go over her without hurting her... but others weren't so lucky.

Then just as soon as it was there... the noise was gone.

Marisa slowly lifted her head, looking up at the sky.... only to find
it was much closer. She seems to have grown super tall all of a
sudden, and for a brief second she forgot what had happened.

"Mister sky is so close!!!"

Marisa opened her mouth wide, grinning only to have a bitter tasting
water explode onto her face.

"YUGGIII!? BITTER!?!"

Marisa tried to spit out the chemical only to have it cling and linger
against her body, and she heard various little yelps as well.

Marisa looked around, but couldn't see much. What in the world
happened?

======

The next day, Marisa sluggishly dragged herself awake. Mister sun was
beaming down on her brightly, but she couldn't feel energetic for some
reason. So much had happened yesterday... big-sis Reimu was gone, the
voices around her were quiet, and she had some bad tasting thing
sprayed on her. But Marisa will live on for the sake of the others.

The first thing in the morning is a proper greeting.

"......!!!!"

Marisa opened her mouth somewhat cheerfully, and to her horror found
herself unable to open her mouth.

"!?!?!?!----!?"

The deafening silence all around her told Marisa that the same had
happened to everyone. Trying to wash the feeling away, Marisa bent
down to try suck the moisture from mister earth.... only to find that
it was difficult to drink the water, and the water wouldn't do
anything to satiate her thirst either. She drank and drank until she
felt bloated and sick, but she was still thirsty!!

Then she looked down at her braid, and saw to her horror that it was
slowly turning brown along with the rest of her body. The decrepit
color was crawling up to her face at an alarming pace, so fast she
could see it traveling up further and further as she stretched and
twitched and tried to get away from the creeping death.

"!?!?!?!"

Marisa couldn't even scream as she slowly wilted away.
