"Kami!
Is my cleaning
to your delight?"
The lady asks
after she had swept the grounds
near the torii gate.
She was sweating profusely,
obvious at first glance
that she was new to chores.

"Yes." The blonde answers
with an apathetic tone.
"It is now late,
the sun is nearing its end.
Cleanse yourself
and sleep." He adds
and turns around
to head to the shrine office.

The lady follows the blonde,
carrying the wooden leaf broom
with her.

The lady had settled down
in her temporary room in the shrine's office,
and had changed her clothes
to ready herself to sleep.

But alas!
The lady couldn't.
The night was dark,
the bright beams of the moon
seeped through the wooden binds
and illuminated the room fairly.

This very light was the cause
of why she couldn't sleep.
Her sleepy eyes couldn't help
but produce figures,
her imaginative mind
had grown to scare her.

"Kami..."
The lady calls,
hoping that the blonde man
would appear.

But he didn't.
So, she stood up
to head outside.
She was scared,
but staying in that dimly lit room
feels like it will eat her whole.

Once she slid open the door,
she hurriedly went to the haiden.
It wasn't that of a distance
compared to where the torii gate is.

"Kami, I am scared.
Please keep me from harm!"
The lady says out of distress.

"How stone brain of me!"
The lady insults herself
when it dawns on her
that she was being rude
to Kami.

Hastily,
as if evil spirits were chasing her,
she went back to her room
to get herself a coin.
"Kami..." The lady whispers,
still hoping that the blonde man
will magically appear before her.

She went back to the altar.
She throws the coin
and it produces a loud tiny thud,
as if telling her
that the only person
that has been praying in the shrine
was her.

She sways the rope
and the bell rang,
she bows and claps twice,
and prays.

"Kami,
keep me from harm!"
The lady says
and bows once more
to end her prayer.

"What are you doing
in the midst
of this dark night?
You are going to wake
the bad spirits."

With tearful eyes,
the lady spins around
and sees the blonde man
with a visible frown,
and his hands are kept behind him.

"Kami!"
The lady says
and approaches the man.
She kneels before him,
resisting her fear driven urge
to embrace the man.

"I was frightened!
I had repeated your name twice
yet you did not appear!"
The lady explains.

"Frightened? Of what?
This darkness
that surrounds us?"
The blonde man queries.

"I keep seeing
appalling shadows in my room!"
The lady says.

The blonde sighs
and turns around.
He was slightly vexed.
He was awoken
from his sleep
by the ringing of the bells.
He had thought wild animals
had come in to destroy the altar.

"Stand up.
I shall watch you sleep."
He says and leads the way.

"He says and leads the way
