Your name is...~ Day6 Jae fanficton

Chapter 9

Jae's point of view~

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I lifted my head from my pillow and turned off the alarm. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I'm Talie again. I was about to touch her boobs.

No, I shouldn't for her sake.

I heard the door opened and Allie walked in.

"Talie you sure do love your boobs. Get ready we are leaving soon. Hurry." She said and left.

I got up and put on my school uniform on. I put my hair in a ponytail and left to the living room.

"Comet Tiamat had been visible to the naked eye for a few days now. When and where can it be seen? 'Comet Tiamat to Reach Perigee' Comet Tiamat is moving from east to west as if to follow the sun. So it can be seen above Venus..."

I saw Allie and my grandma sitting down on the floor watching the news.

"What's with the uniform? We aren't going to school Talie." Allie said me.

I check my phone and it said Saturday.

"Oh let me go change." I said and walked to Talie's closet.

Hmm, let's see what does she have. I'll wear this. A pink sweater with a yellow shirt and blue skinny jeans. I grabbed some black converse and walked out to the living room.

"Ready my dear?" Grandma asked me.

"Yes, I am." I said and we left the house.

We started to walk to some forest. We walked on the path and it's so beautiful. There was this beautiful waterfall and the trees were orange and red since its fall.

"Grandma, why is the body of our shrine's god so far away?" Allie asked grandma.

"I don't know because of Mayugoro." She said.

"Who's that?" I whispered to Allie.

"What? He's famous!" She told me.

I nodded and we continued to walk. I ran up to grandma.

"Here, grandma get on." I said and crouched down in from of her.

She got on my back and we started to walk again. We passed this big lake. It was so pretty.

"Talie, Allie, do you know 'Musubi'?" She asked us.

"Musubi?" I asked her confusedly.

"Musubi is the old way of calling the local guardian god. This word had profound meaning. Trying thread is Musubi. Connecting people is Musubi. The flow of time is Musubi.

These are all the god's power. So the braided cords that we make are the god's art and represent the flow of time itself. They converge and take shape. They twist, tangle, sometimes unravel, break, then connect again. Musubi - knotting. That's time." She said as we walked.

They twist, tangle, sometimes unravel, break, then connect again. It's time itself. Huh well, that's something.

We went to sit under a tree to take a break. I took out my phone to check the time. It's 2:30 pm.

"Here drink." Grandma said.

"Thank you." I said and took a sip.

"I want some too." Allie said.

"That's also Musubi." Grandma said.

Once she said that I stopped drinking it.

"Whether it be water, rice, or sake when a person consumes something and it joins their soul, that Musubi. So today's offering is an important custom that connects the god and people." She said as I carried her.

"Hey, I see it!" Allie yelled and ran down the hill.

"That's the body of Baek Shrine's body?" I said to myself why I put down Talie's grandma.

We started to walk down the hill. Once we went to the bottom of the hill we started to walk until we got in front of this small river.

"Beyond this point is 'hagye'." She said looking forward.

"What?" I asked her.

"It means the underworld." She said looking at us.

"It's the underworld!" Allie yelled as she stepped on a rock and went to the other side of the river.

I grabbed Talie's grandma's hands and helped her go across the river.

"In exchange for returning to this world, you must leave behind what is most important to you. The kuchikamisake." She said to me as we walked towards this tree with a cave inside.

"The Kuchikamsake?" I asked her.

"You'll offer it inside the god's body. It's half of you." She said to me and Allie.

Half of Talie...

Allie and I walked inside the cave to put the sake inside in there. After we walked outside and started to go home since it's getting late. We walked until we got back to the top of the path again.

"It's twilight-'kataware-doki' already." Allie said as she ran closer towards the edge of the hill.

"Kataware-doki." I said and looked at the big lake I saw when we first started to walk.

"Oh right." I said and ran towards Allie.

"Maybe I can see the comet." Allie said.

"The comet?" I said.

"Oh, Talie, you're dreaming right now, aren't you?" Grandma said looking at me.

S-she knows?!

"Gah!" I yelled as I woke up. I wiped my eyes.

"Tears? Why?" I asked myself.

I heard a line message from my phone. I looked to see who it was.

Jamie: I'm almost there. Looking forward to it!

Jamie? What is she talking about? What did Talie do this time? A DATE?!
