The New Shrine Maiden

Alrighthere goes nothing...Hope you like it!

Part ONE
New Guy In Town

The day started as usual around the Shinto Shrine. Mikuni would tease Kanau for a bit before actually starting to 'work' as he called it.

Today was different though. He was interviewing a shrine maiden. The shrine representative had been on his back trying to get him to get one…

There was a soft knock on the door.

"You may enter. Kanau get the door." Mikuni ordered.

The ghost known as Kanau floated over to the shrine door sliding it open.

A male stood in the door way. He was only about five feet tall. The visitor was dressed in the traditional shrine maiden uniform.

Mikuni raised an eyebrow. Goodie, a new play mate. "Come here," the priest commanded.

The boy came forward slowly. His every movement was graceful. As he walked a breeze rushed into the room rustling his long hair making it dance wildly around his shoulders. As he came to a stop in front of Mikuni the winds stopped as well.

The Shinto Priest looked overt he boy standing before of him. Interesting. He thought. The maiden to be had long black hair and the most shocking eyes. One was sapphire blue while the other was emerald green. "Your name?"

"Kiyoshi Yamaguchi, sir" Kiyoshi gave a bow.

"Good indeed, the name fits you." Mikuni smiled touching the boys cheek.

Kiyoshi looked down, "don't touch me."

"What was that?"

"I said don't touch me. Get your hand off me." Kiyoshi's eyes narrowed.

Mikuni then noticed something. The boy was blind. Interesting indeed. "If… you can walk across the room with out running into anything. You've got the job, no questions asked."

Kiyoshi did a slow turn aiming towards the door and walking once more towards the door. The winds started again as if guiding him towards the door. And sure enough he didn't run into anything. "There, I did what you asked. Now I have the job like you said… No questions asked." He murmured quietly.

"You did as I asked. Good job. You have the job. One more thing… Can you dance?" Mikuni laughed.

Alrighty! This is my first EQ fic… Did I make Kiyoshi like a Mary Sue? I tried not to… RR
