Omniscient POV
"I can't believe she's really gone.." Mizuki sobbed into his plum blossom-printed handkerchief. Tomoe looked at the ground.
"Come on. Stop being a baby. You know we have to clean, even now. It's the rule of Mikage Shrine."
"But Nanami just left us! She's going to Tokyo, and she isn't coming back!" Mizuki yelled. "Clean the damned shrine yourself, Tomoe!"
..20 minutes later..
Tomoe began to weed the garden, thinking of Nanami and the chaos she had left in her wake. She had left him, Mizuki, Onikiri, and Kotetsu to care for Mikage shrine and left to Tokyo. Now Mizuki and Tomoe, the two shinshi of the shrine, were left to listen to and grant prayers, clean, and care for the shrine. The only help they had was from the overly cheery shrine spirits, Onikiri and Kotetsu. And at the moment, the three useless idiots were moping about inside the shrine while he, Tomoe, cleaned and took care of everything. As he finished weeding, he decided he would get some holy sake from the storehouse. He padded over, opened a cask of the strongest, holiest sake and drank the whole thing in two gulps. He then walked to the shrine and entered.
..Inside The Shrine..
As Mizuki sobbed into his silk handkerchief, he thought of Nanami. How could she leave him here with that boorish buffoon and the two spirits? Tomoe was great and all, but Mizuki didn't want to be stuck here with him. And he couldn't leave until a new kamisama arrived, as was the rule.
"I have to pull myself together." he whispered to himself. Mizuki then decided that he would go outside to help Tomoe clean and weed. So he gathered his kimono, stood, and headed for the door.
Tomoe opened the door abruptly. Noticing Mizuki standing there, he hurriedly said,
"Excuse me."
"Are you sure it's done correctly?" Mizuki inquired critically. "There were many tasks to complete."
"Yes, it's finished." Tomoe said tiredly. "I'm going to sleep"
As Tomoe walked to the inner shrine, Mizuki stared after him and had to wonder when he became so quick at doing chores.
