7. Heading Different Directions

Aya scanned the place carefully.
Who ever owned the house was definitely out of date.
The paint was dirty and stained all over the place, the walls were chipping off, servant looking people wore rags, the place smelled, and if Aya wasn't mistaken, the place looked dated back to the prehistoric time.
Aya's curiosity grew when she realized that the people surrounding her were so..short.
She turned around and found a young lady looking unoccupied at the moment. Unlike the other people Aya had seen, this one seemed to be wearing an expensive looking dress that look fitting for royalty and she was extremely beautiful in looks. Aya went up to her and said rather loudly, "Um, excuse me?"
The lady jumped at Aya's voice, but calmed down instantly the moment she saw her face.
"Oh, it's you. What do you want?"
Aya was quite taken aback by her tone of voice but cooled off and said, "Where am I?"
The lady quirked her eyebrow at her in curiosity then lowered it and smirked.
"This is an inn if you haven't noticed, the restaurant's over there." She jerked her thumb towards Aya's right where she heard loud clatters of dishes and cups. Laughter was heard in the far distance as well.
As Aya turned her eye at the young lady again she was heading towards the exit of the inn.
"Hey!" Aya called as she caught up to the girl, "where are you going?"
The girl turned her head towards Aya and smirked.
"Outside, where else?"
Aya flushed at her response. She was so rude, considering the fact that she had a polite mannered face implanted on her head.
"But where, outside?" Aya asked trying to sound as polite as possible.
"Shopping," she said simply and she turned her head forwards again, but paused for a moment.
"You could come if you want," she said before walking out of the inn and disappearing into the busy crowd of Mikinto.
Aya stood there for a second before screaming out, "Wait for me!"

Tasuki opened his left eye half way as the door opened and Chichiri zoomed in looking desperate.
"What?" Tasuki asked as he looked around the room trying to see what Chichiri was looking for.
"The girl no da!" he said in an upset tone.
"What about the girl?" Tamahome asked as he shifted position on his seat so that he was now facing Chichiri instead of Miaka.
Miaka turned her eyes off Tamahome for a second and said, "Is she hurt?"
"Gone no da," Chichiri said barely getting the words off his tongue.
"Gone?" Chiriko repeated placing his book down on the windowsill where he was seated.
Mitsukake looked up from Nuriko's injuries and paused for a moment before saying, "Do you mean dead?"
Tasuki and Nuriko's head jerked forwards in alarm.
"Dead?" They said in unison.
Chichiri looked at them for a second, a smile scarcely escaping his lips, before saying, "No, just gone."
Tasuki stood up from his stool and raised his fists at Chichiri.
"YOU LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT WHEN SHE COULD BE THE NEXT MIKO??? CHICHIRI, ARE YOU MAD???"
Chichiri had a very hard time containing his sly grin at this point.
"WHAT'S SO GOD DAM FUNNY???" Tasuki yelled, shaking his fists in fiery.
Chichiri shook his head and said calmly, "She's not a miko no da."
Tasuki stared at him in bewilderment. The other's stared at Chichiri too, but with more of a confused look.
"I felt her Ki no da, but..."
"But what?" Tasuki said impatiently as he crossed his arms and raised his eyebrow.
"Someone else inside of her has been one..I can feel it, but I'm not quite sure what it is.."
Hotohori raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Someone else?"
"Chichiri, are you sick or something?" Tamahome asked, bending his upper body in order to feel Chichiri's forehead.
"No," Chichiri said irritated, pushing Tamahome's hand away.
"Anyways," Chiriko said as he walked towards the door, "I think we should start looking for her."
"Right."

"Why are all these people dressed so strangely?" Aya asked the girl as she peered at everyone awkwardly.
In return, everyone seemed to be staring at her, pointing and whispering secretly.
The girl rolled her eyes, swinging her long silky purple hair in an attractive way.
"It's you who's dressed so strangely," she replied cooling, continuing to walk towards lines of stands full of goods.
Aya said nothing but thought about the comment.
The girl started to browse through hair clips, examining them thoughtfully.
Aya stopped right next to her and looked at the hair clips in awe.
The girl sighed in a pitying way.
She turned to face Aya and held out a colour butterfly hair clip next to her hair.
"Well," the girl said as she got her free hand to rummage through her pockets, "at least it suits you."
Aya tilted her head in confusion as the girl pulled out her purse. What was she talking about?
And as though she had read Aya's mind, the girl turned back to look at more clips before saying, "If your going to hang around, might as well get you dressed in something descent."
"Oh..err, thanks."
Aya didn't know what else to say. She looked around the crowd then remembered something.
"Didn't this town have damages because of the horse incident?"
"Not in this part. It's at the other side of town."
"Oh."
The girl handed the merchandiser the butterfly clip. "I'll take this one."
The man wrapped the clip in a thin brown envelope and the girl gave him money before taking it.
"Thank you miss."
The girl turned around on her heel and set of in a new direction.
"Hey!" Aya called "Wait for me-err..."
The girl turned around and faced Aya again, quirking her eyebrow in curiosity.
Aya felt stupid at this point.
"You didn't mention your name before.." Aya turned her gaze from the girl to the sky.
She could feel the girl give her another smirk.
The girl clicked her tongue and brushed away her bangs revealing her magnificent amber eyes radiating in the sun's light.
"My name?" she said casually as Aya shifted her eyes to stare directly at her.
"My name's Ceres."

Althe: Cliffhanger eh? But I wanted to stop there, so yeah. I hope I'll be able to update soon^^;;;
