A/N: Ahh, I'm sure you all are wondering about my update. Well, don't fret, as I'm actually working on a collaboration fanfic with Luminous Beginnings! It'll be set at about the same time as the start of KKYEC; which takes place about 7 months after DoP! Anywho, on with the show!

Early night, Mountain-top Shrine, Mima's PoV:

Man is it dull without Miko around to grind my gears...

I was meditating, or maybe simply thinking while pretending to meditate so as to pass the time. As Sunshine can't really be all that active during the day, I decided that it might be best for us to explore the area we live in at night. I'd yet to notice the time, so I was a bit surprised when I began to hear the foot falls of Rumia informing me of her approach. It's odd how intune with ones surroundings one becomes when you remove eye-sight from the equasion, and focus a bit for a few hours.

"Hello, Sunshine." I smiled, and opened an eye. With the hours I spent like that, my senses had ended up sharper for the time being, so I knew just about her exact location.

...I could also see in the dark a bit better, now that my eye was open, as they had gotten used to the black of being under their lids.

"Eheh, nice hearing, Mima!" Rumia had a bright grin, which showed off the zig-zag edge of her teeth. I do wonder just what sort of damage she could do with those, really. I mean, I know she's a... very, very skilled huntress, but all I know of these skills is her word; will I ever recieve proof of these skills? Not that I don't trust her, of course. I just kind of want to see her in action...

I began to work my way to a standing position from sitting in seiza; my legs were a bit numb after doing so for as long as I had, so it took a few moments to accomplish the simple task that it was. "Hey, Sunshine. I'm guessing that it's time? ...It does seem a bit darker now." I gave her a warm smile, in responce to that grin of hers.

With an impossible wide grin, which caused her cheeks to split, she gave a hard nod. "Yeah! C'mon, while the night's still young!" I've no idea how the girl maintains such boundless energy... Maybe it's part of being a Youkai...?

With that, we began to make our way to, and through, the thick paper door, which was as such so as to ward away the light of day, before we made off into the night. I wonder how this night will go? This is actually the very first time I've ventured out from the reletive safety of the shrine.

...Even if, by force, I was removed from the shrine for a time. Maybe it would be better to say that this is the first time I left by choice? ...Not that this is the same Shrine...

I let out a sight, before being jerked back to reality, and away from my mental monologue.

"Wow! I knew I smelled water, but this is huge!" In the time I had zoned out, we had arived at a sizeable body of water, about half the size of that other lake we had been next to last night.

I began to think aloud by mistake. "Hmm... You know, maybe a bath would be a good idea... I don't think I've taken one the whole time I've been here..." As soon as I finish thinking, my eyes went wide in realization.

Rumia began to giggle, before she asked, "Is that so~?" It's odd how that doesn't get old. Maybe it's because it has a meaning to it every time?

"Th-That is so~!" I couldn't help but laugh, albeit mostly out of how stupid of a mistake that was.

"Not that I couldn't tell by that pungent smell of yours~" ...I'll just take that as a compliment. "That thick, salty stink... It makes my mouth water just thinking about it~" ...Getting a bit hard to take that as a compliment... "Making me get all sticky for you, every time we slept... I couldn't help but sniff you, while I-" Alright, that's a bit too much!

"Sh-shut up, Rumia! I don't want to hear about what you do in bed, when I'm not aware!" That's way beyond the sort of things I wish to know about my Youkai friend!

"Ohh, I was only teasing you~" Ohh. ...Now I feel like a fool... "Not that I hate that heavy scent of yours... It does make me wish to do wonderfully horrible things to you, you know~?" ...Dammit... She's enjoying this, isn't she... "Why, yes. I am." Ehh? !

I flinched in shock, before just about demanding an answer. "You can read minds? !" ...Why is she doubled over with laughter?

"Mima, you really do need to stop that new habit of yours to think aloud..." She was looking at me with amused eyes, which I responded to with a bemused look of my own. Was I really saying my thoughts out loud...?

I began to try and calm myself a bit, before I asked, "Anyways, how about a swim?" As my question left my lips, Rumia's lips began to stretch to lengths beyond what I had seen thus far; it was as though her face was making more room, just so she could grin to more impossible lengths. "Y-you know what? Forget I a-" Before I could retract my offer, Rumia had already started helping me in the process of removing my clothes, which actually did speed up the process a great deal. It also made me wonder why she was so good at stripping others.

...Or, for that matter, how she managed to undress in the scant few seconds I had been distracted by my thoughts yet again. Where is her kimono? Did it simply... vanish?

Before I knew it, the small Youkai had grabbed my hand, and had begun to drag me towards the murky waters, which were painted black by the low light. It was actually a bit eerie looking, really.

It didn't help in the least that I was being dragged around as though I weighed nothing by a girl who looked ten, and ate human flesh. Not that I mind that she eats such things, as I find the stuff quite tasty, myself.

Had I had more time to think, I would have realized the danger my chastity was in at this point.

Alone. In a state of undress. With Rumia.

Had I had time to think of these things, I would have begun to blush about the idea of just what might become of my chastity. And begin to get a bit aroused at the thoughts of that which might follow.

However, she never once made any such moves on me, thus making such thoughts woefully un-needed, if I had ever had them in the first place.
