You were there, going up a white staircase, that was the only thing you could think of right now, thinking what was on top of it. And once you were there, to your surprise, you couldn't honestly have thought of it. Obviously enough, you recognized the place, the Hakugyokurou, basically, a ghost shrine, with a cherry tree centered inside the only house in the whole place, besides the trees.

But now, there was no meaning in backing down. The only thing you could do is to simply walk around, looking for anything interesting around the place. You've heard about the 'princess' of the place, Yuyuko Saigyouji, but, honestly, you couldn't care less at this point.

You were still thinking, and thinking about the whole place in general, how eerie, yet beautiful it looked, but, it wasn't long enough until you calmly went around Yuyuko herself, you didn't notice her in the first place, but once you realized who you just ignored, you went back, now standing in front of her.

“…”

Yuyuko didn't say anything as her head followed your movements. The thing you didn't notice is that she was eating a small rice ball while she followed you with her gaze, taking bites from it, also that a few small, formless phantoms were going around her. You thought how weird it was for her to be exactly standing there, eating something near the house, as if waiting for something. You ignored that feeling as you felt Yuyuko staring into your eyes, still chewing on the rice ball.
