The light flared and struck us both.
"There. It is done." I whispered. "I am your priestess."
"And I am your Kami." Haku whispered back.

His body felt close to her, even far away.
He touched his heart, felt her heart beating softly in sleep.
Closing his eyes, he saw her dream of him. In a way he never thought possible, she dreamed of his as a man.
