>It's evening. the lights are on illuminating the temple, decorated with many statues of a sitting man. He looks peaceful and friendly, as you look at the statues.

>"I... believe she is. What seems to be the problem, miss Yakumo?" she looks in wonder. her slender hands are touching one of many pillars in the Temple.

>"It is a rather private matter, I am afraid."

>"Well then, follow me"
>Shou points the inner parts of the temple.
>As you follow, you pass quite a few rooms. Some natives of the temple are asleep though, as most rooms are dark and Shou is moving silently, saying nothing.
>You finally get to the furthest room, with sliding door like all of them.
>Shou enters before you, bows to whoever is inside and backs off for you to come in.

>As you enter, Shou closes the door and leaves to leave you alone.
>Inside there's a humble looking room. in the center in front of you is another one of those statues, holding it's hand in a friendly gesture towards you. Between you and it though sits a mature looking woman with the strangest hair color you ever seen. It's prismatic, going from purple to brown. Her eyes are strange as well, but she has a strong presence of a good person with warm feelings.
>She nods at you and says with a smile "welcome to the Temple of Myouren, miss kitsune. I am Byakuren Hijiri, how may I help you?". My, her breasts are rather big, as you notice.

>As you proceed towards the entrance, you see Shou, sitting supporting herself with a wall. She looks a little sleep. It's night, so now wonder.
>"Shou, I'll be out for a while, please watch the shrine. have some sleep too, dear" Byakuren says.
>"Shou bows "Thank you, Byakuren-sama" and she withdraws to a nearby room, happier.

>The Moriya shrine is far from close. it would take a large amount of time to get all the way up there and you believe it would be rude for miss Hijiri to just drag her around, so you decide not to bother more spiritualists yet.
>You see the Yakumo household in the distance.
>You blink with your eyes and for less then half a second you see a big eye in darkness, looking straight at you, it's veins viciously bloodied. And it's gone. it was so short.... Hallucination?

>It's red. feels and looks like paint but it's made of magic particles. you can't scrub it off. This is a little marking spell, as far as your knowledge goes. It's purpose is... to mark things. simply. You aren't sure how strong it is. Considering it's Yukari-sama we're talking about here, it might be a pain in the ass
