THIS PART IS BACK IN THE POINT OF NANAMI ~ CAKE FACE

It's so quiet. It doesn't sound like home at all. People would yell out on the streets, people would fight. Where i am now, it's so peaceful. I kinda feel like i could stay here forever. But where is here?

I open my eyes only to see mere darkness. Judging by the drool on my cheek, i must have fallen asleep. I prop myself up and feel the cool wood beneath me. I suddenly remember where i am, and what happened. I'm at the Mikage Shrine. Tomoe had left me in my room while he talked with Kurama.

I brush the blanket off me and look around. Wait, i don't remember using a blanket. Did someone put it on me as i slept? I wonder who would've..

I get to my feet and stretch my arms out forward. My head blasts it's pain as i do this, making me have to sit back down. Tomoe will probably be mad that i slept. I wonder if he'll scold me some more if i just stay in here. First things first, i need to get changed, or take a bath if i can. I don't think i can wait until i leave to get clean. It gonna be embarrassing to ask, though. I don't get up again just yet. Instead, i fold the blanket up and hold it in my hands. I really wonder if it was Tomoe who came in here and gave me this. I doubt Kurama would have. I try to stand again, and this time my head doesn't object as much. I place the blanket neatly on the stack of bedding, and head for the door.

I place my hand on the door, planning to open it, but before i can, it opens itself. And before i know it, Tomoe and i stand inches apart from eachother once again. He's tall, so i reach just about to his chest. I then turn my head up to his face, half expecting him to be angry. He looks down at me and i look back. Somethings changed. He seems different, even i can see that.

"You've awakened." He uses his stern voice as always. Maybe i was wrong.

"Well, yeah. I wasn't gonna sleep forever"

"It sure felt as though. Your dear idol has already left." He must be talking about Kurama.

"Well i'm sorry i was such a problem for you." I step back, away from the door.

"That's not what i meant, stop attempting to pick fights and follow me. Take some clothes with you as well."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Must you ask? The bath of course." Well at least now i won't have to ask. One less problem out of a hundred.

I had grabbed some clothes from my suitcase as Tomoe patiently waited. He then had lead me to the bathroom, which was surprisingly clean. I now stood looking around it. Bottles of soap and cloth towels filled its shelves.

"As you can see, it fits your needs. Now i'll be off "

"Don't you dare peak! Better yet, just stay away while i'm in there okay?" I point my finger at him.

"You musn't worry yourself. It's not as though there is anything worth seeing." He squints his eyes and smiles at me. Oh i hate him.

I stomp to the door and slam it shut. Just in his face like last time. He didn't need to say that! I start the bath and undress with minor difficulty. He really didn't need to say that!

I was bathed, clothed and feeling slightly better. I open the door and walk the long hall. I then smell something. Something wonderful. My stomach growls furiously. I had not eaten in what felt like a week. I'm not exactly sure how long it had been, but it had been long enough. I follow the smell to a room i hadn't even realized was there, and see Tomoe cutting a variety of vegetables. He glances up for only a second, and spots me.

"Your meal will be served shortly."

I could tell he would rather not be doing this. He thinks i'm a pain already. He doesn't have to cook for me. Tomoe shouldn't be treating me like this, it's not necessary. I hate this. But still. The corners of my mouth turn back up. What's cookin?
