Sorath spoke to all of the girls. It turns out that none of them
could sleep over anyway. Koto said she had a previous arrangement, Juri
said that she really had to get back to the farm before they noticed she
was gone. Keiko, Botan, and Yukina all said that they hadn't told anyone
that they wouldn't be back till morning so they couldn't stay any longer.
(Remember people! In the episode when . . . well I don't remember which one but Juri says and I quote "I should have stayed home and raised apples on the farm!" I am so right!)
The guys just left. Jin didn't stop to say anything to Sorath. Sorath felt kind of left out. But she was too tired to care at that moment too much.
Sorath walked over to the couch and laid down on it. She was wiped. She turned out the lights in the room and just fell asleep on the couch. She didn't usually sleep, but she also didn't usually host parties either!
But little did she know that a pair of sapphire eyes were watching from outside. Jin just turned and walked away slowly after the light had turned off.
*~*~*~* The Next Morning! *~*~*~*
Sorath woke up around four thirty in the morning. She felt very refreshed. She immediately got up and checked her calendar. The sun wasn't due to rise for another hour and a half.
Sorath decided to clean up a bit before she went outside to help the sun rise. She did that every morning. Although normally she didn't sleep. She just stayed up, but she was so tired she needed some sleep.
She would usually go outside and urge the sun to rise. It wasn't something any demon could do. And after all there weren't many sun demons around so she had to send the sun some energy every morning so that it could rise and fall during the day.
And she had a specific kind of spirit energy. It wasn't like Yusuke could send his rei gun at the sun and it would do it. she had always wondered what would happen though when she didn't do that to the sun every day. All she knew was that her mother had told her to do it every day.
After an hour and fifteen minutes of cleaning it was all done and she was now completely awake. She walked to the door so that she could walk out and do her daily sun ritual.
But when she opened the door and walked out she saw Jin walking up to her house.
Sorath: oh! Hi Jin, what are you doing here so early? Jin: ya remember the game we played last night? And that last dare?
Sorath: yes, why?
Jin: well, I picked you for it!
Sorath: *grinning and trying to hold back a blush* really?
Jin: yup! Yer not afraid a heights are ya?
Sorath: not at all. But I have to do something before okay?
Jin: what ya gotta do?
Sorath: just something I do every day. I just have to do something to help the sun rise.
Jin: oh, okay. I'll go with ya then.
Sorath: you really don't have to. You can just stay here. I'll be back in like, ten minutes.
Jin: nah, it's fine. And besides ya must do it alone every mornin' so ya must want some company.
Sorath: okay.
Jin just follows Sorath into the woods as she makes it to a large pine tree. Very unusual in the makai, usually they were all demonic trees or demon breeds. It was odd to find a human's tree that large in the makai.
Sorath walked up to the tree, it's branches were oddly place. They were almost like a staircase.
Sorath: you wait down here okay? Unless you want to fly up, but you don't have to.
Jin: I didn't hafta come but I did.
Sorath: true!
Sorath climbed up the odd tree and stood at the top branch which was wavering. She held out her arms so that it was as though she were holding an orb in between them. She pushed a sparkling bit of her spirit energy into the orb's space. It glowed with her energy in it. then she pulled her hands back and it flew off towards the horizon.
Not a moment later had she done that then the tip of the sun reached the peak of the tree line. The orange of the sun rising made Sorath smile at her work and turn to climb down to find Jin floating right next to her.
Sorath shouted slightly and lost her balance. Jin reached out and grabbed her so that she wouldn't fall. He picked her up in his arms and Sorath just sighed.
Sorath: well, that's happened before.
Jin: you really gotta be more careful.
A/N: a little later in the fic some light fluff, but nothing too romantic, and maybe even some angst. Hm . . . ? what was that about odd mixtures? Oh well, review please!
