When I woke up, I felt very dazed and confused, like I'd had another of those dreams where I'm running through Eientei with the knowledge that there's something horrifying chasing me, but I didn't remember anything. I was face down on a bed as if I'd collapsed there, because I was half on the bed and half off of it, and I felt cold. I blearily dragged my face upwards, squinting at the early morning light that shone through the window. I'd pulled off the t-shirt, then fallen on top of the bed without even pulling the covers back, and I'd apparently stayed that way for the whole night. It was why I felt so stiff and cold, and I wondered if I was about to give myself a cold to rival Reimu's. I staggered up to my feet, groaning in pain at the stiffness across my whole body, and I slowly stretched my neck, arms and back. After a few moment, I felt slightly better, though I was still very much in the halfway land between asleep and awake, and I desperately needed some water.

Curiously, I didn't have a headache. I'd drank a lot of sake the night before, yet I could still more or less remember everything that had happened now that I was up. I wondered if that was an effect of the peach. My body still told me that I needed water and some warmth, but my head felt fine. As far as effects from unwittingly eating a peach from Heaven went, I could think of worse things. It'd make drinking games in the pub easy, at least. I stumbled over to the door and dragged it open, intent on visiting the kitchens for some water. I wasn't really hungry, which I wondered about, because I wasn't sure when I had last eaten. It seemed to be a recurring theme for me at this point, and yet, I didn't seem to be experiencing many detrimental effects from it, either.

When I stepped outside, I found myself freezing in place. You see, the location of my room in Lady Kasen's dojo placed me in a long corridor. My room was near the middle, and the bathroom was at the end of the corridor. There were three room between my room and the bathroom, placed on alternating sides of the corridor. The room next along from mine was the one that I had left Komachi in the night before, and along from that was a spare room. There was a storage room on the other side, and then the bathroom past that. All of this is important to explain that Komachi's door was open, and Komachi herself was just about to enter the room. Komachi, most notably, was not, in the strictest definition of the word, dressed. I had already discovered as much during her repeated hugs the night before, but the Shinigami-and-or-ferryman of the Sanzu River was in possession of a body. More than just a body, to be sure. Her hair trailed in cascading curves which collided with each other until it was hanging in nearly every direction, which made me wonder if she had towelled it dry in the bathroom rather than waiting for it dry naturally. She had tied it back up in the same way that she normally did, but I could tell that it was far messier than it would be on a normal day. Some portion of her hair landed on her bare shoulders, and I could see that even though she had clearly just bathed, she was still wearing that chain around her neck with the single coin hanging from it. It hung down, where it rested on the edge of the towel that was wrapped around her body from her chest down to her legs. The towel's tightness prevented any imagination from being needed to see that she possessed a body to make a happily married man waver. the towel hung down to her mid-thighs, and as she walked, I could see all the way up her thighs when her undoubtedly long legs caught the gap between the towel.

After a few moments in which I forgot how to breathe, she noticed me, and gave me something of a coy smile. "Offer's still open." She told me in a low, almost husky voice. Her smile grew as she sauntered into the room and shut the door behind her. I stared at the space she had occupied for a moment, then shook my head vigorously. Water, I decided. I needed a lot of water. And a dark cave.

And maybe some spiders.
