"Now?"

"Not yet"

I slowly opened my eyes to two little shrine spirits with pointy teeth and red eyes, one of them was holding a centipede in front of me.

"Hey, human."

"You wanna eat a centipede?"

"Uh... Humans don't eat centipedes" I say, trying to stay calm.

I hear footsteps, I turn my head to find none other than Mizuki walking in, "Morning, Miss (Y/n)" He says, "I wish to thank you for saving me yesterday at your school."

I sit up and look at the snake, my first thought of him when I saw him in the anime was 'He's so cute!', and I don't mean the 'I want him as a boyfriend' cute. He, in a way, reminded me of my brother, thus, why I would never want him as a husband!

"Oh, hey. You're the snake who kidnapped me."

"hehe, Im Mizuki, the familiar here at the Yonomori shrine." He says bowing, "I hope to get along with you as long as we shall live."

"Oh what a joyous day! Mizuki, Japan's greatest familiar, has taken a bride!"

Taken is right, I don't belong here!!!

The two shrine spirits start throwing rice everywhere, "Let the wedding comence!"

"Hold on!" I yell.

"These two are the spirits of this shrine." Mizuki says.

"I figured."

"In her place behind you, is the god of this shrine. Lady Yonomori. She also wishes me the best in my marriage" Mizuki holds a hand out to me, "Come, Miss (Y/n)."

"Hang on a second! You're confused, I'm not getting married, especially not at 16!" I say.

Mizuki goes into happy chibi mode, "But the mark on your wrist is kind of like our engagement ring..."

"I would like to go home!" I say standing up

"Really... Then why don't you try to go home, if you can that is." Mizuki says with a very mischievous and sly look on his face that slightly creaped me out, and the fact that the little spirits were laughing creeped me out even more.

Well, he is a snake, I guess freaking people out is his specialty.

I walk out of the shrine and jump down the steps, yes I am fully aware of what happened to Nanami at this part, but I still gotta try!

I started to walk the path, I noticed that everything around me had an eerie green tint. Soon, half an hour, hour and a half, now two hours had passed! I wasn't getting anywhere! So, I climbed up a tree and tried to look around but I couldn't get high enough. I lost my footing and fell backwards, out of the tree, I landed flat on my arm, earning a large yelp of pain from me. I sit up, my arm had lots if scratches all over it, some of which were bleeding, but I would just have to toughen up! So I stood up and continued to walk, by the time I actually found someplace, it was dark, and that someplace happened to be the same place I started from....... Back to square one...

I walk up to Mizuki who was holding a lantern, "welcome back Miss (y/n)."

I sigh and sit down, I was exhausted, "I told you that you weren't able to go home."

"Can't blame a girl for trying right?"

"If you're not to tired, you can try again."

"I think I'll pass."

Mizuki kneels down to my height and he instantly notices my arm, "did you fall?" he asks gently grabbing my arm.

"Yeah, out of a tree."

"It's bleeding! Hold still." He says.

He helps me inside and bandages up my arm, I couldn't help but notice Mizuki's hand on my arm.

'I won't allow anyone to lay a finger on you'

Tomoe's words..... You liar.... Whatever....

"Don't worry, I'll treat you way better than Tomoe ever did." Mizuki says with a close eyed smile.

~timeskip~

I was looking around the shrine, just trying to find something to do, I opened up a door and saw a guitar! Wow, Mizuki actually had an instrument in this shrine? Who knew?

I pick up the guitar and go out to the porch where the plum blossom tree was. I sit down and tuned the guitar a bit before I start playing (the vid)

'Hey baby even though I hate ya!
I wanna love ya
I want you!
And even though I can't forgive you
I really want ta
I want you!

Tell me, tell me baby
Why can't you leave me?
Cause even though I shouldn't want it
I gotta have it
I want you!

Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got

One less problem without ya!
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got one less, one less problem

I know you're never gonna wake up
I gotta give up
But it's you!
I know I shouldn't ever call back
Or let you come back
But it's you!
Every time you touch me
And say you love me
I get a little bit breathless
I shouldn't want it
But it's you!

Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got
One less problem without ya!

I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got one less, one less problem

What you got?
Smart money bettin'
I'll be better off without you
In no time
I'll be forgettin' all about you
You saying that you know
But I really really doubt you
Understand my life is easy
When I ain't around you
Iggy Iggy
To biggie to be here stressin'
I'm thinkin' I love the thought of you
More than I love your presence
And the best thing now
Is probably for you to exit
I let you go
Let you back
I finally learned my lesson!
No half-stepping
Either you want it or you just playin'
I'm listening to you knowin'
I can't believe what you're sayin'
There's a million you's baby boo
So don't be dumb
I got 99 problems
But you won't be one

Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got (I've got)

One less problem without ya!
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got!
One less problem without ya!
I got one less, one less problem

 "That was quite lovely." I turn around and find Mizuki standing there. He was listening this whole time?!

"Uh... Thanks..."

"It's getting late, would you like to go to bed now?"

"Huh?!"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything, not until you're ready."

"You've got a long ways to wait then."
