U/N: ...How did I even get here...? I shouldn't even be born for another 105 years!
Late in the morning, Shrine:
Miko flopped onto her back, still sitting in seiza, her stomach had been utterly filled, and she was glowing with joy.
"That was good, Mima..." The lazy miko, Miko, was still quite out of it from the monsterous hangover she had.
"That is so~!" The blob of darkness that was Sunshine sounded quite happy, too.
"Well, now that breakfast is out of the w-" Loud snoring was heard, as Miko had fallen asleep. I pinched her cheek as hard as I could muster, causing her to wake back up with a yelp.
"D-don't do that!" Miko held her abused cheek, tears welling up in her eyes, while she gave me a look of fear.
"...As I was saying... Now that that's out of the way, Yukari left us all gifts." Miko's face lit up with joy, the very prospect of free things was enough to chase away her hangover.
"Is that so~? What's a gift?" Hearing that made me feel slightly sad for Rumia, as she must not have ever been given a gift before.
"It's when people give you things for some reason! The nicer the gift, the more they appreciate you!" Ohh, I know what I'm going to do...
"She got me a knife, Sunshine a sword, and you, Miko, an umbrella!" It's so easy to tease that sister of mine.
Just as expected of my cruel joke, Miko's face took on one of horror.
"...That's it...?" Her eyes were welling up with tears, as though I just told her she can't have any mochi.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing, tipping the victim off to my mean joke.
"Hehe... No, it isn't! The umbrella is actually all of ours, your gift is in your room! ...Maybe in the closet." Miko took off like a bolt of lightning, wanting to find out what her present was.
"So, where would I find this sword? I've never used a sword before, but I want to try hitting a tree with it!" What an odd desire...
"The note said it's in your room, but I didn't see it in the one we share... That is, unless there's another room you could consider yours?" I had looked high and low, but I never ended up finding the thing...
"Ahh, it's probably reffering to the basement!" ...There's a basement?
"Basement?" I had never once noticed any way in, so... where is it?
"It's where I keep the bones!" ...What?
"B-bones...?" Is she talking about what I think...?
"The bones of all the humans I eat! There's probably enough to make..." Sunshine went silent for awhile. "...fourty-three humans!" ...That's alot of people...
"Really? Wouldn't something like that make the shrine stink...?" There had to be flesh still on those bones, right?
"What, you think I'd leave meat on those bones...? I make sure to get all the meat from every bone, and dispose of any leftover organs when I'm done~!" ...Well, atleast she's cleanly about it...
Miko was listening for awhile, and her skin had become as pale as a ghost.
"...F-f-forty-three...?" Miko couldn't help but feel a bit sick at the prospect of so many people dying here.
"Yeah! I save them up, incase I want a sna- Mph!" I quickly covered the little Youkai's mouth with my hands. ...Atleast, where I guessed her mouth was located.
"...I'm... I'm going to lay down." Miko slid the door shut behind her, before walking off. A few moments later, I heard her fall to the ground; it seems she couldn't take it, and ended up passing out.
"...Wuss..." I took my hand off of Rumia's mouth, allowing her to speak once more.
"What was that for...?" Rumia sounded a bit annoyed, as I had blocked her nose, too. Thankfully, she's rather good a holding her breath.
"I didn't want Miko to vomit all over the house, as she's a bit of a wimp when it comes to things like dead bodies." To be honest, I'm not sure as to how I'd react to one either, as I've never seen one.
"Okay... But, did you have to block my nose, too...? I was getting ready to bite your hand, you know...?" I couldn't see it, but Rumia was pouting.
"A-ahh, sorry! Also, before I forget, Yukari also gave you a name!" Once more I couldn't see the reaction of the Youkai, who couldn't help but lift a brow.
"...What is it...?" Rumia was a bit curious, even if it would probably be stupid.
"Rumia!" I happily shouted, which caused the bearer of said name to think a moment.
Rumia thought that the name sounded quite nice, and a bit cute, too! plus, it's better than being called "Youkai" by her prey; she could even build a bit of a name for herself, maybe even become feared! As of right now, she wasn't all that well known, so she had to work extra hard to make others fear her.
"...I like it." I couldn't help but grin at the answer, even if I hadn't thought of the name myself.
"So, how about we go and grab that sword of yours, and we see what you can do with it?" The little blob of shadows giggled, seeming to like that idea.
"Sure! Lets get going! I'll lead the way, just lead me outside!" I gave a nod, forgetting that she can't see me, followed by walking outside.
Once we had arived outside, Rumia led the way, and we ended up at a rather well hidden door in the ground, which was behind the shrine.
For a moment the gate was covered in shadow, before I heard a creak, and the shadows slowly went lower and lower into the now opened cellar, signifying that Rumia had begun her descent.
After a momoment, the dark blob stopped it's decent.
"You coming?" I jumped, not expecting to be told to follow.
I started after Rumia, slowly catching up.
By the time we reached the rather dark depths of the cellar, the light from the still open surface hatch was a only just enough to see.
"Ahh! I think I found it! No, wait... That's just a bone. Ehh, might as well bring one up for a snack... Here." I found a rather long bone, probably a femur, being shoved into my arms.
I couldn't help but feel slightly creeped out due to this once having had been inside of another human being.
"Ahah! I think I fou- Ahh, this thing's heavy! I can hardly even lift the thing!" With the prize in tow, I started back up the stairs, going ahead of Sunshine.
"W-wait, I need help carrying this thing!" ...If it's that heavy, would I even be able to help...? Youkai are stronger than humans, right?
I rushed back, so as to help her lift the thing. To my surprise, while it was very, very heavy, I could still help, if only a small bit.
With my help, we both began to make our way back up the stairs, and shut the hatch behind us.
I fell down, gasping for air, as soon as I could let go. That sword must weigh atleast 100 kilos!
Oni must have monsterous strength, if they make a short sword this heavy! I can only imagine their long swords, or Dai-katana! I'm not even sure how I was able to help with the lifting at all!
"Looks like I'm... going to need to get st-stronger... if I want to use it..." Rumia was about as out of breath as myself.
I took the bone that I had been carrying between my breasts, for lack of a better way to transport it, and poked Sunshine with it.
"Here, kept the bone nice and warm for you." I handed the slightly sweaty bone to the Youkai.
"...Where did you keep this? It... smells like sweat." I blushed at the comment, dreading the answer, but still telling the truth.
"B-between my... Umm... Between my breasts..." My face went ablaze, and burned bright red.
The silence between us was broken by the sound of licking; Rumia had begun to lick the bone clean of my salty sweat.
"...Not bad." My face just about began to glow at the odd compliment about the flavor of my sweat.
