Y/N: My, what have we here? What a brave author you are, trying to force me of all Youkai to do your bidding! I suppose I'll just see myself out! What was that thing you say far too much...? Ohh, right! "On with the show!"

Night, Shrine that is in less disrepair than before:

I let my hair down from the pony tail I had it in to keep it out of the way. While I don't normally wear my hair up, I don't like it to get caught in things. Ahh, the joy of long hair...

"It feels weird to be sleeping when I'm normally awake, and awake when I'm normally sleeping..." Huh... I guess it would make sense for one that is surrounded by darkness to be active at night, huh?

"Well, I'm not forcing you to have the same hours, or anything... you're the one that had the idea to share my bed as a reward for helping us..." Sunshine had a bit of a melancholy sound to her voice, which seemed... un-like her.

"Ahh, no, no, I'm not saying it's your fault... It's just... yesterday was the first time I've gone against my instincts. Normally, I just eat humans without a care about what they say, but... I didn't do that this time... And now, I'm going against my nocturnal nature to spend more time with one that should have been a tasty meal..." ...I feel quite lucky now!

"Well, if it helps... Thank you for not eating me, Sunshine. Well, it's getting late, so why don't we turn in?" Plus, I'm curious as to what you might try...

"Th-think nothing of it." Aww, did I make her blush? ...Seriously, did I? I'm... not sure...

"Is that so~?" Now to put some pressure on and see her reaction...

"Th-that is so~!" I feel as though our roles have been reversed here, but I'm not sure in what way...

"If you say so... Let's go to bed, shall we?" I began to get under the cover of the futon, and before long was blinded by Sunshine's glob of darkness enveloping me.

I felt her snuggle into my chest, this time without teeth. The feeling was... not unwelcome.

I waited for her to try something, anything, but it never came, and my wait was for naut.

After what felt like an hour of waiting, I heard her begin to snore, moments later I felt drool leak onto my chest. That's... really cute...

I guess she's not going to try anything, huh...? Well, I got to hear her snore, so it's not a complete loss...

I began to hug her against me, and I fell asleep in a matter of minutes.

For once I had more pleasant dreams, ones involving Sunshine in various ways.

Morning:

Once more awoke to the little Youkai's advances, as though last night was just a fluke. And, once more, Miko interupted just as I was about to submit myself to the girl, as she was hungry. Does my sister care about nothing but food...? I may never know.

Once more I found a slab of meat in that cold box, though, this time I gave into my curiosity and gave it the smallest of licks. It was actually pretty good, though I'd never want to admit that I'd done such a thing.

We sat in relative peace, enjoying our rice together, like the family that we are not. ...Well, atleast, Sushine isn't. Though I would gladly treat her like a sister, or more, if the opportunity arose.

Once more we got to work on fixing things up, this time finding a huge stack of tatami mats on the porch.

We went back and forth between working and eating untill the day was through, and we once more prepared for bed.

"...It's been bugging me all day..." Ohh? What's been bugging her?

"What?" As soon as I had opened my mouth, Sunshine pounced at a speed I couldn't see. Not because it was fast, but because I quite literally couldn't see her.

I felt my mouth being kept from closing from her small, yet insanely strong, hands.

"W-whah...? Asking questions while unable to use your jaw is quite difficult.

"...Just as I thought... Your breath smells of human! Did you actually try that silly suggestion of mine...? I was only kidding, you know!" Crap, I hadn't expected her to find out about my curiosity... Though, she's probably the least problematic one to discover such a thing...

"Ehehe... I got a bit curious, that's all." ...Wait, just how good is that nose of hers, if it can smell such a small trace of blood...?

"...But don't most humans find such things disgusting...?" She has a point, but...

"Well, I suppose I'm not 'most human's,' now am I...?" I managed to get a giggle from the Youkai with that response. It's odd how happy it makes me to hear her laughter...

"True, you're the most interesting human I've met! The most Youkai-like, too... Never met a human willing to taste their own kind..." ...Not sure if that was a compliment or not...

"I'll take that as a compliment..." It would be strange for a Youkai to be saying it's a bad thing to be a bit like a youkai, so I chose the seemingly safer choice.

"As you should! Though, I do think you have broken your argument against being my pet, hmm?" Ahh, she has a point, there...

"W-well, I suppose I'll just have to be your pet, now wont I? Though, at the same time, wasn't your reasoning for feeding me people that we are easiest to find...? I think that point is moot, seeing as we have a seemingly endless supply of rice..." It would seem that she couldn't argue with my logic, so she tried another direction.

"A-anyways... Where the heck did you get that human meat from...?" ...That's actually a good question, even if she is just trying to change the subject...

"Well... I'm actually not sure, myself... there's an oddly cold wooden box, and it keeps re-filling every time I prepare a meal..." The only source I could think of would be Yukari, who did say that she would give us food.

"Well, I'm sure you're getting tired, so why don't we turn in? It feels like midnight, anyways." ...How does it feel like a time? She was right, though. The room had grown mostly dark, save for the pitch black area that was swallowing my shoulder as we sat upon the futon, beside me.

"I suppose that's true..." The blackness swallows me up, and we both get inside the futon, Sunshine in her usual position, though I'm hugging her against me from the start, this time.

I begin to hear a light... purring sound. ...Could it be that she purrs when she feels particularly loved...? It sounds alot like a cat's purr, too! I... That's really cute...

It wasn't long untill sleep once more claimed us both, our happy little embrace giving us both rather... interesting dreams, in a good way.

Day in, day out, the days continued like this.

Wake up, eat, fix, eat, fix, eat, fix, sleep.

This pattern continued untill the night of the new moon, the 15th day we had been here. As it turned midnight, Sunshine's ball of darkness disolved away, and I was greeted by my first sight of the girl.

She had long blonde hair, a pair of bright red eyes, and a black kimono that looked like it had been dyed with tar, giving off an odd shine. Her skin was as white as snow, perhapse from being in the dark all this time.
