"Hm? Yuyuko-sama?" Youmu wakes up one morning, looking around. Her mistress has gone somewhere, as she mostly does. She's always like this, so it's no surprise.
After getting dressed, she tends to the garden like usual, followed by her pet ghost beside her. She waters the plants next to the home they hold dear in the Netherworld. However, there is no sign of Yuyuko around. She should've been here by now, checking how she's doing, or even say "Good morning" to her like usual. Where could she be? She looks toward the flowers she is watering and moves on to the next set of plants. She sighs, thinking about where could her mistress have gone so early in the morning. Maybe some errands? But usually, she sends Youmu to do that. Maybe another battle she's going to? But there is no incident she or some other youkai might have caused today. She sighs and finishes up watering the plants.
She pets her little ghost buddy and picks up her katanas to look for her mistress. An idea pops in her head. There is only one place she might be. The place that is most meaningful to her.
**Saigyou Ayakashi**
Sure enough, there is Yuyuko, next to the cherry blossom tree she holds so dearly. Youmu just stands at a distance, making sure she isn't interrupting whatever her mistress is doing. But to her surprise, Yuyuko seems like she's…dancing? She's actually dancing with an open fan in her hand. She stares in awe, watching her mistress sway this way and that, her beautiful dress fluttering gracefully. She does a spin, lowering her fan and then raising it upwards toward the sky. She has her eyes closed and a smile on her face. She turns around, showing her beautiful face to Youmu. The short haired half-breed blushes from looking at the beautiful full-on ghost girl before her.
She's…so…beautiful…! Youmu thinks. I can't believe…I'm looking right at her like this…!
Yuyuko continues to dance elegantly, humming a sweet song to herself. She spins, raises and lowers her fan until she comes to a complete stop. She opens her eyes to see Youmu standing behind the bushes and giggles, holding her fan up to her mouth.
"There's no need to be so shy, Youmu~" Yuyuko's sweet voice is like music to the half-breed's ears. "You can join me if you'd like~"
"N-no, it's fine," Youmu waves her hands back and forth. "It was better watching you from here, Yuyuko-sama!"
"Don't be silly~" Yuyuko approaches her servant and gently takes her hand. "Let's dance together. Make this moment even more wonderful. I don't want to dance by myself anymore~"
Youmu blushes and slightly turns her head away. "W-well, if you insist, Yuyuko-sama."
"Ufufu~" Yuyuko giggles. "Just follow my lead, Youmu~"
Youmu nods and the beautiful ghost leads her servant toward the tree. They sway this way and that, with their dresses fluttering at the movement. Putting away her fan, Yuyuko takes Youmu's other hand and gently pulls her closer. Youmu gasps, looking directly at Yuyuko's beautiful eyes. The pinkette smiles sweetly and continues leading the dance. They sway this way and that once more, and Yuyuko raises Youmu's hand in the air, signaling her to twirl. Youmu does so and then gets taken by the hand once again. Yuyuko pulls her close, giggling. Youmu is so mesmerized by the beauty of this ghost that she doesn't notice that Yuyuko lets go of her hand and spins her around once. She then dips her, making the half-breed gasp. Yuyuko smiles rather seductively.
"You did well, Youmu~" she coos. "Here's your reward~"
She leans in and kisses Youmu on the lips. Youmu's eyes widen, but the kiss taste so sweet…it feels so good that she relaxes. Her eyes flutter closed and accepts the kiss. A kiss from her own mistress. Who knew that Yuyuko, who is very playful and sometimes even forgets she's a mistress to begin with, would love her this much?
Yuyuko pulls away and licks her lips. "Ufufu. You're surprised, Youmu. Just as I expected~"
"Y-Yuyuko-sama…" Youmu breathes.
The pinkette helps her servant straighten up. Then, she takes Youmu's hands in her own with a sweet smile.
"Do you want to know why I was dancing like this~?" Yuyuko says.
"Why?" Youmu asks.
"I was in a happy mood~" Yuyuko explains. "I was so happy I felt like dancing. But happiness wasn't the only thing that was on my mind." She caresses her servant's cheek. "It was you…Youmu. You were on my mind the most. I wanted to tell you how much you mean to me…how much I appreciate everything you do for me. I love Yukari, yes, but you being by my side? You serving me faithfully? That's more than enough to have me love you like I am right now~"
"Yuyuko-sama…" Youmu blushes. "I…I…."
"Ufufu~" Yuyuko giggles. "Yes~?"
"I…love you, too, Yuyuko-sama," Youmu says.
"I appreciate it~" the pinkette leans in to kiss her servant on the lips again.
