"Welcome, Rangetsu Island-aru!"

Kagura immediately jumped out of the boat and started exploring the place with interest and surprise. Like a small child meeting something new. Well, it was new. Living in Edo and before with the Yato, a place as calm and beautiful as this was strange. Kagura got her umbrella out and ran to the shrine, touching everything and wanting to get soon started her trip. But she really didn't know where Sogenzoku was or anything. She didn't care either. Since they got there not at a late hour, she decided to eat something, explore and then get to the Natsuko Brothel. She was almost rushing, but before she looked around and saw Mato getting out the boat, silently looking at all places. She went running to him and she gave him a smile again while he sighed.

"Bye Mr. Sigh! I hope we meet again-aru!" Kagura said. Mato patted her in the head.

"Believe it, we will meet soon Ms. Smile." He said. Trying to be the same, he saw how Kagura was always smiling.

Kagura saw how a car came and Mato approached it. A man with light brown hair appeared from it and he greeted Mato with a friend hug. He was a little bit taller than Mato and had the same office elegant clothes as him. They must be companions. They started laughing and another person inside was urging them to enter.

"Hey Himuro, who is that pretty girl you were saying goodbye to?" The brown hair asked.

"Its just a girl I met in the boat. She is staying in the Natsuko Place." The man became serious when Mato said that.

"Isnt it dangerous to-"

"Thats why we are investigating. Stop wasting time, Soma!" The both officers came inside and the car started walking as Kagura waved her hand in goodbye. Once the car was out of sight, Kagura started walking.

The place was full of shrines, temples and statues of the Shinto gods in a big amount of nature everywhere. And that was nothing. They said the places next to the port and sea where really small compared to what was in the center of the island. Except a temple next to the sea called Mizutsugune Temple, but it was like at the other side of the island. It would take long time for Kagura to explore everything, since the island was really big. It even had two cities! (Or at least Kagura thinks one of them is a city). Kagura was so happy seeing all the things until a point people looked at her strange. She got her nose up like a dog and started smelling the scent of flowers, trees and plants of the region.

She couldn't wait for the trip to start. After going to like five shrines, Kagura looked up at the sky and noticed it had already become night. The lanterns of the streets where lighten up making the sight even more beautiful giving a completely different color to the red wood and floor. She soon arrived to a bridge with more representative lanterns and light. It had a symbol in the top that said 'welcome'. There was a river bellow with lilipads and other plants going down the large stream that fell in a small waterfall. Kagura wished for a moment that Gintoki and Shinpachi where here, but she regretted it soon thinking that they would ruin the fun by saying insensitive things like Gintoki all the time. At the other side of the bridge there was a small town where Kagura soon dicovered the lanterns where made. There she asked for directions and a tourism station gave her a map of a small part of the island and another map of the whole island.

Kagura was impressed by how huge the island was. The island in total was 3.128 kilometers (1410 miles)! It was like two times Edo and all of it was two cities, many small towns and lots of temples and shrines. How was she going to explore it all? She was going to stay there one month, so no worries.

"How many shrines have I already visited now...? Ishikawa, Maro, Nakasaki ehhh... Wano! Shenzogun and... and... and... Ahhhhh!!! I don't remember-aru!!" She said frustated.
