Rin sat by the temple growling under her breath, her wings spread out and ruffled with anger. Her eyes gleaming a menacing red and a dark aura swirling around her like a cloud of smoke. She had no idea that Haru had such a pretty female friend, let alone one who would know him so well.

She thought that given how Haru spent so much time alone as a child that he would be a loner. That other kids would be scared of him because of his unique and unusual gift into the spiritual and paranormal realm. But the fact he had a friend all this time without her knowing made her jealous.

She wondered what other secrets Haru was keeping that she didn't know about. The very idea made her skin crawl and her chest tighten at the possibility of a love rival. What did he have a porn stash hidden somewhere in his room too?. He better not, what if they were cuter than her?

For most of her young life she had watched over Haru and protected this shrine since she was a young girl. Protecting this place from danger and keeping an eye on the inhabitants who lived there. So how was it she had never seen Makoto before this day? She would have remembered such a person.

She had seen every human that came here, watching them as they came and went. But Haru had been the most frequent since he lived here. But never had she seen Makoto before? She was a very pretty girl too, with those large breasts of hers, that silky olive green hair, big green eyes and ample curves. She was pretty enough to give Rin a run for her money.

She never thought there would be a day that she would be threatened by another woman. A human no less, demons were born with unnatural beauty to allure prey and potential mates. There was no way any human could compare to them in terms of physical appearance, that was what made them so deadly aside from their powers.

To boot, Rin had always been a looker by her clan's standards, what with her soft maroon hair and shiny maroon eyes. A lot of men in her clan falling for her at first sight but of course she rejected them all in favour of her feelings for Haru. But as human women went, Makoto was definitely a looker.

With a body like that she would have no trouble seducing him. What with that somewhat innocent personality of hers, she was a walking trap. Thinking this only made her feel worse. She curled up into a ball and gripped her knees tightly. Vowing that she would never give up Haru and he was hers, that she had known him just as long as Makoto had (even if it was in secret).

Haru peered over at her as he swept the temple grounds and sighed. When was she going to get over this? She had been sitting there in a huff since Makoto left and it was really getting old now. Makoto had been raised alongside him since they were kids. She was like a little sister to him so the idea of even dating her felt wrong, she was more like family to him.

He didn't hate the fact that Rin was jealous, in fact he loved it. After Makoto had left earlier to go home he had even teased her a little for a reaction which he found amusing. But you'd think after a while the words would sink in and she would go back to being herself. But nope, she had sat there since Makoto had left.

Though Haru was generally a patient person, he was getting pretty tired of Rin acting like this. She was acting like a child who didn't get the cookie after dinner which was honestly very annoying. You'd think she would have some faith in his words and believe what he said.

Besides, Makoto babied him to the point she was more like family than a love interest. His parents had died when he was very young so he had lived here alone with his grandpa. She had helped him get back on his feet and they had trained together. Their relationship was solely platonic and always would be. So, Rin had nothing to worry about here.

So, she could stop sulking and come help him out or do something proactive. He didn't know how she could just sit there while he continued to push himself by doing chores all morning. Since she was giving him energy but doing little else, she could at least work her keep a little aside from that one trip to the store.

"She's not my girlfriend. Makoto has been my friend since we were kids, so you can stop sulking anytime now Rin" Haru explained wearily. Though he had to admit, seeing Rin so bothered by another girl was really cute. But he would prefer it if she was just honest about how she felt instead of being so moody with him all the time.

Rin stiffened and turned to peer at him pouting slightly "I'm not sulking" she retorted defiantly. She had a strong feeling that Haru was making fun of her right now and she hated it. Couldn't he see she was upset about the fact there was another girl other than her that was important to him. She wanted to be the only woman in his life that he trusted or cared for.

Haru nodded but didn't believe her, it was written all over her face "Uh huh sure" he replied bluntly. Though he didn't really physically show his emotions much, Haru was anything but an idiot that was for sure. Despite her cocky nature when they first met, it seemed Rin was very much the Tsundere.

From the way, she had acted when they first met to how she acted upon meeting Makoto. It wasn't hard to figure out, given how dishonest she could be about her feelings. But he found that adorable. To know she cared about him so much that she was flustered about him being close to another woman, that was every guys dream.

Rin huffed and turned away again, though she was relieved to know Makoto wasn't a threat. She was still hurt to know that Haru had relied on someone else before her. She had watched over him and this temple for most of her life. So of course, she would be upset to know that Haru had relied on someone else in order to get better.

Haru could only stare at her, she looked too cute right now and it was killing him. She was blatantly jealous but she was too stubborn to even admit that to herself. But she really had nothing to worry about here. Besides, he never really had an interest in relationships anyway. Most of his childhood and preteens were spent training to worry about a lover.

Sighing to himself he rested the broom against something and approached her. They needed to end this now or it would just become bothersome for him later on in the long run. He didn't want her to continue feeling miserable like this because of a misunderstanding, he enjoyed her company too much.

He then approached her quietly and wrapped his arms around her causing Rin to jolt. Burying his nose into her shoulder, breathing in her natural musk that lingered on her skin. She smelled sweet and smoky, like fresh flowers and a bonfire during the summer time.

Rin growled at the unwanted contact "Oi! Your touching a god here, get off!" She snapped defiantly. She wouldn't forgive him that easily for not telling her about another woman in his life. Why would Haru keep such a thing from her? I mean she lived here and she had a crush on him since they were kids. Sure, he didn't know about her before now but she still felt betrayed.

"No. Your upset and I'm making you feel better" Haru replied sternly. He wanted her to know she was the only one, that he didn't want another girl only Rin. She had every right to be jealous but she really had nothing to worry about. So until she calmed down he would continue hugging her.

Rin's eyes widened at his perceptiveness and she clicked her teeth. He read her so well it hurt, but she would never admit she was jealous to him. He would just make fun of her for it later on. She had always been an emotional person ever since she was young, but more often that not it acted as her Achilles heel than a blessing.

Instead she simply sighed in defeat and let him hug her. Besides, having his arms around her like this felt really nice. She felt safe and care for, like nothing else would happen or mattered. She couldn't help but act like an idiot, because she loved him so much. Nobody in love ever acted rationally because they cared for that person so much it hurt them.

She then gripped Haru's arms tightly as he hugged her, she was still mad at him but her temper had lessened. But that didn't mean she wouldn't give him a warning about upsetting her again. "You better be telling the truth, or I'll make you pay" she grumbled.

Haru smiled to himself and nodded, glad to know she had finally calmed down and forgiven him instead of continuing to sulk. "I know" he replied playfully. She may have been a powerful demon, but to him it was like dealing with a cute little teddy bear.

Makoto made her way back to the temple with a large bag swung over her shoulder. She hoped Haru wouldn't mind as she knew she was intervening doing this of her own choice without asking him, but she couldn't help but be compelled to help out since he mostly did everything by himself.

He had been working and living at this temple since he was a kid, born and raised in this place then later trained by his late grandpa. But she had never known him to take time off, but then again, the job of a priest was never done. Someone always needed help and evil would always exist in the world.

While his duty would be tiring, and exhausting for Haru, he truly enjoyed it and paid off in the end. Keeping people safe from evil or mischievous spirits and demons was always a rewarding job. "I hope they fit, I'm a bit bigger than her" she thought anxiously. She was often self-conscious about her breasts as people stared or made fun of her because of them.

Despite what people may think, having large breasts was not fun for the owner. Aside from unwanted stares and attention, back pain was also a large problem for her too. The medicine she made for Haru had also helped her over the years and eventually she found a concoction that was tolerable to consume and helped her a lot.

Eventually she reached the top of the stairs to find nobody there. She wondered if Haru was taking a nap or bath, he did tend to get worn out easily because of his powers mind you. Before he became more tolerable and used medicine, there were days Haru would pass out completely and spend an entire day in bed recovering. His body weak from lack of energy.

But over time and thanks to her medicine, he was able to get better but it didn't completely get rid of the problem. Training his spiritual powers to become more resilient to the effect his powers had on the effects of spirits and demons. However, as he got older the effects got weaker and he struggled even more to keep up his strength.

However, since that girl Rin had come to stay with him he seemed healthier and happier which she was relieved to see. But, she needed Haru to be there to see her try them on in case to see if he approved with them. She needed to make sure they suited her or weren't too big as Rin may be too shy to say so.

She then made her way to the house quietly, looking around and wondering if he was out. "Haru? Are you home? It's me" she replied shyly. She really hoped she wasn't being a bother. However, she was met with a rather abrupt and unfriendly voice that did not belong to Haru. Unsurprisingly when they spoke up she jumped a little at their voice given the tone.

"He doesn't need medicine. He's got me for that" a voice replied sternly. She was making sure that he didn't get too worn out from using his powers. Plus, she was an endless source of energy for him. So Makoto could stop showing up when she wasn't needed and just go back to doing whatever she did in her own little life.

Makoto was rather taken aback by this and saw Rin standing there with an annoyed look. Wearing the same Milk T-shirt and black shorts from before, standing there with her arms folded. She would be lying if she didn't say she wasn't somewhat intimidated by the tomboyish looking female standing before her right now.

She had a really powerful aura coming from her that almost had the same level as a deity or god. Makoto swore she even saw a red gleam coming from the maroon orbs that were Rin's eyes, but how was that possible. She got this almost inhuman demonic vibe from Rin but she had no idea of how that was even possible, given she looked as human as herself.

She then blinked shaking the thoughts from her mind and blushed awkwardly "N… No, it's not medicine. These are for you" she replied shyly. She had already made sure that Haru got enough medicine for the time being. So she wouldn't need to make a visit like that for some time, so this would be the last time in a while she would visit till then.

Rin softened but still kept her arms folded and suspicious and way of the other girl. Wondering if she secretly had hidden motives of any kind, she wasn't by any means an idiot after all. She had her kimono, shorts and shirt so why would she need other clothes, especially from this other girl.

Makoto blushed and bowed her head, she knew how odd this looked but she meant well. "It… it gets cold around here in the autumn and winter. Plus, it isn't a good idea to wear the same thing all the time" she said shyly. She knew how strange this looked and she was coming across as rude, showing up uninvited. But she was really just trying to be nice, since she was always one to help others in need.

"Makoto?" Haru said in a surprised tone upon seeing his friend. Wasn't she supposed to be training with her grandmother today? What on earth was she doing here with such a heavy bag? Had she really come all the way here carrying that by herself? Why hadn't she brought a friend or just brought two bags instead of one to make it lighter?

Makoto softened and cheered up noticeably upon seeing the darker male. Relieved at the tension in the air being lessened by his purification powers. "Haru! My grandmother told me to give you these. They don't fit me anymore and I think Rin may suit them" she explained. She had worn them in middle school when her breasts were significantly smaller. However, in high school puberty had gone into full swing and given her busty mounds.

She had never given away the clothes and just packed them away. They had been sitting around in boxes for years as her mother had meant to give them away but never did. It seemed now that Haru had a girl living with him, she may as well give them to someone who needed them. They would at least be going to some good use by doing so.

Haru visibly cheered up and took the bag from her hands, peering inside at all the colourful new least now he could save money on buying Rin clothes and spend it on buying food and underwear for her. There were even pyjama's in here which would help when Rin would go to bed.

As always, Makoto was well prepared and eager to help. Even if that person was someone she had met a short time ago, she was just that kind of girl with a big heart. How Rin could feel so antagonistic towards her despite her being genuinely kind confused him. But then again all women were different so he couldn't really blame her.

Rin peered inside too, there were dresses, skirts and even more shorts. All sorts of clothes she had never been able to wear growing up. In all honesty, it made her a little excited. She had never been able to wear such things growing up, to be given such a gift by someone she had just met made her feel very happy. But also, a little guilty at being so rude to her.

Haru then turned to Makoto gratefully, she did so much but asked for nothing in return. Now if only she would get a boyfriend to spoil with her kindness already, it would be a nice change to babying him so much. Or maybe he would spoil her instead which would be a great change since Makoto was a very giving person.

"Do you want some tea? You came all the way here" Haru offered kindly handing the bag to Rin. She must have been thirsty from the long journey it took to get to the temple and all. Plus, he kind of wanted Rin and Makoto to get to know each other, he would rather they be friends instead of Rin feeling she was an enemy.

Makoto smiled "I'm afraid I can't stay, Grandma just told me to drop them off. I have to go grocery shopping for them too and they'll be worried if I'm too late home" she explained. She had so much to do and promised her grandmother she wouldn't be home too late. She still had lots of training to do and was learning about new herbs today too.

Haru nodded and bowed, to which Rin hesitantly did so too. Despite the fact, she was wary of Makoto, she was none the less grateful for her present of the new clothes she had brought. After she was gone, Haru leaned up again and turned to Rin. He had seen the suspicion on her face when Makoto came and then softened when she received the clothes.

Was she really that jealous over a childhood friend? How many times did he have to explain to her that they were just friends? He would have appreciated some trust here. However, at least now she had more clothes to wear around the house. Not that he didn't like her milk shirt and shorts, but she couldn't wear that one outfit all the time.

"You wanna try these on?" he asked casually. She may as well, then they could see which ones would suit her best out of the bunch, the rest leftover could go to those in need or charity. Besides, he would be lying if he didn't secretly want to see Rin wearing normal clothes. It would be a lot more useful for her to blend in when he asked her to do chores too.

Rin frowned and peered at him suspiciously but took the bag. She would try them on but at a cost, she wasn't an idiot after all "You better not peek, you got that?" she growled. She may have liked Haru, but she was not tolerable towards perverts or peeping toms. She never let anyone see her up close unless they were in a committed relationship.

Haru frowned, he really didn't understand her. First, she was jealous over Makoto and even willing to challenge her. Now she was telling him not to peek at her while changing. He really didn't understand her, but Tsundere's were complicated like that. Stubborn as hell, but deep down they really cared. But he would enjoy cracking her shell to find the sweet girl underneath.
