A priestesses' fate isn't so cruel

Chapeter 5

Dawn breaks. Morning dews start to form on green leaves and flower petals. The sunlight start to rise, slowly and beautifully.

Shina opens her eyes, slowly and sits up immediately. She reaches for her hair and ties it up, into a simple ponytail.

She reaches for her shrine uniform, and leaves to the onsen. As she got to the bath, she settled her uniform on a shelf, and proceeded to the bath, ignoring the presence of other priestesses in the onsen.

Hair, scent and gossip- are everywhere. As she stepped into the bath, she wasn't suprised to see strands of hair everywhere, floating on the water's surface.

Soon she got ready , slipped on her uniform and made her way to the banquet hall, as usual. She felt familiar with everything in the temple even though she'd only been living here for a few days.

But what really irritated her is..

That yin yang master starts to haunt her mind and she thought she might need to check up for her heart condition.

Whenever she had though about him, her heart will race as if racing against Usian Bolt.

"Agh.. so irritating.." she frowned while gulping down on her food.

After she had finished her meals at the banquet hall, she went to see Sarata, to see what she had to do for the day.

"Sweep the floors near the fountain over there.. " Soon, she finished her listing of chores. "And that would be all. If you would excuse me." She continued her way to the hallway.

Shina grabbed a broom and started sweeping the large yard. The sakura petals flew everywhere, making it harder for Shina to sweep. "Sigh..", she blurted out.

As soon as she said that, someone tapped her shoulder lightly. "Excuse me.." a soft voice called.

Shina turned around with an unhappy face, not because she wanted to show she wanted to be alone, but because she had to do alot of chores.

It was Makoto Senichi. His yukata was neatly worn, his hair was disturbed by the breezy winds and his handsome face would have swept anyone off their feet.

"I've always seen you around. No one really talks to you, and most of the time you're all by yourself."

"Y-yeah, got used to it.."

"I'm Makoto. I assume you've already known me?"

"Of course!.."

"Then may i know your name? we could always help around together, i could lift off some burdens off your shoulders"

"I-its .. Senshino Shina.."

Shina blushed and her heartbeat races again. Her face was going to turn into a tomato soon enough.

"So, Shina do you need me to help you?" , he asks again attentively.

"No, i'm fine", she replies, although she could've really used some help.

"Well, i'll be seeing ya" he left after bowing.

/Dup..dap..dup..dap../ "He atcually talked to me.." she blushed rapidly.

"Bah! no way can romance ever happen here!!" , She starts slapping herself.

Meanwhile, Makoto was just standing and leaning on a pillar nearby.

"Hmm.." he sighs.

"This girl is actually interesting."
A smile formed on his face.
