Kog/N: ...Where am I?

A/N: You're in the past, my dear.

Kog/N: E-ehh? ! Why am I in such a place?

A/N: Why, indeed. Now, let's get on with the show!

Kog/N: ...Who are you talking to? What show?

A/N: ...

Kog/N: ...

Late night, Shrine which is badly in need of a name, Rumia's PoV:

It was rather tiresome to pretend to sleep, so I could go and try and practice with my new sword, but I had managed, somehow.

I mean, humans fall asleep fast anyways, right? It's been a whole hour, so I should be safe, right?

I began to work my way out from the futon; it was actually a whole lot harder to accomplish than I had expected. Not only was the futon rather cramped when in use by more than one, but Mima's arms were wrapped around me, as well as my face wedged between those soft sacks of flesh she has jutting from her chest. I wonder what those are? I've seen a good number of my meals have them, if a bit smaller.

They sure are comfy though... I feel as though I could fall asleep in th-

ZZZzzzz...

Mima's PoV:

I awoke to the feeling of drool on my breasts, as well as the sound of muffled snores. Why Rumia insists on sticking her face between them, I'll never know. Can they really be that comfortable...?

I rolled away from the cute little Youkai, so as to remove her face from my breasts, and soon found myself falling back asleep.

Rumia's PoV:

"Zzzz- HWah...? !" I shot up, and looked about while still half asleep.

Crap, I fell asleep!

I began to ease my way from the sheets, and made my way outside, while yawning far enough for my cheeks to open up.

"Mmm..." I shivered a bit at the pleasure I feel when my mouth opens fully. I actually technically don't have cheeks, but keep the sides of my lips closed at all times. Thankfully, they stick together, save for what's normal for a human mouth. Being able to show off all of my teeth is quite nice for when I feel like filling my food with tasty, tasty fear. As they're constantly stuck together, it feels a bit akin to stretching your muscles after they've been inactive for awhile.

I can't help but moan a bit when ever they accidentally open. Feels so nice~!

I made my way through the corridor, making good use of my soft feet on the hard wood of the floors. I could move quite quickly, yet silently, due to this. Half of my meals never once saw me coming before they had lost the front of their neck, along with many vital things, all in one bite. Why waste time with a needless chase, or fight, when you don't have to?

I had finally arived outside, and was greeted by a warm gust of air blowing my hair about. Ahh, the scent of a warm night is best... Not hot, nor humid, but mild. I like mild.

"Let's see... Where did I leave that sword..." I began to look about, absorbed in my search. Had the sword seen any battle, I'd be able to find it easily due to the smell of blood, but sadly the blade had never seen combat.

"...What are you doing out here, Sunshine...?" Mima had managed to sneak up on me somehow, and caused me to jump out of my skin.

"A-a-ahh, w-well... I figured I'd try and stengthen myself a bit, and practice using my sword!" My heart was pounding like crazy. How the heck did she sneak up on me? ! I couldn't have been that distracted, could I?

"Ohh? Well, your sword's over by the front, still." Ehh? We took it that far?

"...Hey, shouldn't you be asleep?" I had specifically done my best to not disturb her, too!

"...Shouldn't you?" Mima was still half asleep, yet she made a good argument.

"W-well, I'm nocturnal!" I couldn't think of a better excuse, so I went with my default for such a situation.

"...Haven't you been awake all day, and been sleeping all night?" Mima once more picked at the flaws in my logic.

I began to grasp at mental straws, trying to think of a better excuse, or a way to defend my excuse, yet came up with nothing.

"...Ugh, fine! I just wanted to be able to practice at a time I can see, okay?" I finally gave in, and had told her the truth.

"Hmm... Yeah, that seems like the truth." I sighed with relief, now that I knew she seemed fine with that. "Though, wouldn't it be bad for you to stay up during both day, and night?" Mima seemed concerned for my health. How sweet of her...

"What do you take me for? I'm a Youkai! I'm made of far tougher things than a human such as yourself!" I puffed out my chest, as I was quite proud of my durability.

"Hmm... Well, I suppose I'll watch you practice for a time." Mima smiled, before sitting on the edge of the deck. ...Why does that smile of hers look so nice?

"...If you're going to watch, why don't we simply spar a bit? I'm sure it would be for the best for you to develope some strength, unless you want to get eaten by the next Youkai you meet, that is." Mima rose a brow at my suggestion.

"Yes, because I'd obviously be able to block a swing from that sword..." Hmm... I suppose she has a point there...

"Well, how about I simply defend? If you do happen to stab me, I'll regenerate after a bit. I'll be back in a moment, so prepare yourself~!" I left the confused Mima behind so as to go fetch my sword.

Sure enough, it was in plain sight in front of the shrine, just as she had said! Way to go, Mima~!

I began to pick up the sword, ending up falling flat on my face. Ugh... Damn thing is heavy!

I ended up having to drag the thing, as I simply couldn't lift it.

"...You intend to fight with that?" Mima gave me a humurous look, watching me drag my sword towards her.

"If I don't, I'll never be able to lift it!" Mima had to realise that, right?

"And you're fine with being stabbed?" She really needs to stop treating me like I'm made of glass...

"Yes! Now stop looking down on Youkai! If need be, I'll simply drop the damn thing!" I was starting to get a bit grumpy, as Mima was treating me like some sort of child!

I suppose my looks don't really help, but still!

"...Okay, if you say so..." Mima began to charge, her hand on the still sheathed dagger. She had no idea how to use a blade in combat, so she'd try as many methods as she could.

In a moderately fast swing, she drew the dagger, and I lifted my sword just enough to block it. Damn, this would be harder that I expected. Unlike most human women, she's not a weakling. She's actually got a little muscle, and isn't all that slow with her swings.

Though, I could probably cut half way through a tree with a knife, but she's only human, so I'm impressed!

Mima hopped back, and her blade began to glow with that same eerie purple aura as before.

...What's that glow?

Once more, Mima charged, and swung at me far faster than before, with strength that was a bit beyond that of a human.

I hadn't time to block to blow, so I dropped the blade, and hopped away.

"W-what the hell...? Did you just get faster?" The glow to her blade was unerving me a bit, so I kept my distance.

"No idea..." Mima was a bit surprised, too. That was power behind her swing was like nothing she had ever felt before.

Whatever it was, it felt horrible to be anywhere near to me, like with the few encounters I've had with holy energy.

Though, it didn't quite feel holy... I couldn't place my finger on it, but it felt... off.
