Only when the strange fox boy told her it would be alright did she relax a bit. In truth, she still didn't quite trust him, but he had her attention, and if he could give her a good enough excuse as to why he was on her futon, then she may just forgive him. The more he explained the situation, the more confused she became. Her prayer? How in the world did he hear her prayer? He had to have heard it though, because he was telling her about it. Her heart beat quickened within her chest. She was trying to believe him, she really was, but it all just seemed like some messed up dream. For some reason though, Junkojuro didn't scare her now that he spoke to her. His voice was smooth like honey, and his gaze was sincere.
If she really thought about all of this, there was no explanation besides some sort of miracle. Her house was completely gone, but she knew deep down she was still on the same little hill. The cherry blossom trees were still outside the window after all. Haruka sighed and looked down at her lap, not flinching away from Junkojuro's touch after he placed his hand on her shoulder. She was the one that asked for all of this and yet she didn't know if she was really up for the task. It wasn't a matter of belief, there was no possible way for her to not believe in all of this, not after this sort of change, and not after seeing that spirit the night before, it was simply a matter of whether or not she could do it.
Wouldn't he need a true priestess for all of this to matter? She was just a normal girl, who worked a normal job, and tried to live a normal life. The spirits, the shrine, all of it just seemed so stressful. She was scared of it all. Of course, Junkojuro said that he would be there, but could she trust him to keep his word? He's done so much already, so there was no way she couldn't trust him, but her nerves were still on end. This was her home though, so there was no where for her to run.
All sorts of thoughts and feeling filled her, but she pushed them aside in order to not be rude to the boy that sat before her. In a timid voice, she spoke at last, giving him her name, just as he requested. "Haruka Aomori," she took a deep breath, her gaze meeting his own, "My name is Haruka." He did seem very warm and awfully excited to meet her. Maybe this really was what the area needed, a shrine and a priestess, someone to give the spirits that used to live here hope and a place to call home. Of course, she would also have the job of warding off angered or evil spirits. Things would certainly be different from now on. "I-I'm sorry....this is just quite a lot to take in." No use in hiding things from him. Her decision had practically been made for her after all, since that prayer escape her lips the night before. "So what exactly would I have to do if I were to become the priestess of this shrine?...".

Yes I can ^^ but you're not alone, lol. Post as much as you want by the way, the more the merrier~
I hope her reaction was alright, I was hoping to make it more dramatic and a little comical than serious.

Soft sunlight filtered in through the leaves of the cherry blossom trees, casting a dappled shadow over the from of the girl asleep in her futon. Haruka was still fast asleep late into the morning, only waking when one of the specks of light managed to fall over her eyes, and even then her body only stirred at first, arms stretching out above her head. For some strange reason ,she felt very warm and safe beneath the blankets, and she had no pains from scratches like she had before. For the first time in nearly a week, Haruka got a wonderful night's sleep, and now she didn't want to get up. Of course, she knew she had to. Laying in bed all day was bad for you, and although she didn't have work today, she still wanted to get up and maybe pick up the house or the area around it.
Letting out a deep sigh, the girl's hazel eyes fluttered open slowly to stare up at the ceiling. At first, she didn't notice the change, still drowsy as ever, but slowly, very slowly her eyes began to dart around. Something seemed odd about her house, different. Only when her eyes landed on the sliding door did she actually become confused though. Pushing up to a half sitting position, Haruka looked around the room, awestruck. What in the world?...
Everything was different, the floors, the walls, the windows, the doors, even the decorations looked very traditional. It looked like a tourist attraction....like an old shrine.
Movement at her side caused her to flinch, and at last, she noticed the boy that was laying there. With just a quick glance, he looked like any normal boy, so her first instinct was to panic. Her first thought was that some perverted intruder had entered her home in the middle of the night. As soon as she saw him, she reacted without even thinking, letting out a scream. All of this confusion, this panic was starting to get to her. She didn't even know if this was her home even. Maybe she was kidnapped or something. All of her logic was kicking in and trying to put together a logical excuse for all of this, but nothing added up.
Haruka placed her hands on the boy's arms, her legs kicking the blankets off as she tried to pull away from the boy. She could probably have easily gotten him off if she tried for another moment, but when the blanket came off, her entire body grew tense. This was no normal boy. She could see the three tails now, and didn't know what to make of them. Were they part of a costume or something maybe? No, they looked real, very real. That was impossible though!
Everything was just so confusing. Her eyes moved from the boy to herself and her breath caught in her throat. Someone had changed her, because instead of her nightgown, she was clad in traditional shrine maiden robes. Red and white cloth, softer than any other fabric she'd ever felt.
Things seemed wrong, very wrong and she didn't know what to do.
"What in the world is going on?!"

It had only been a week, just one week, and already Haruka was regretting ever purchasing this little home. Certainly the scenery was lovely, being off in the countryside. The home itself was surrounded by cherry blossom trees, which weren't in bloom yet, but still stood tall and beautifully just outside her window. There was even a stream nearby and a path that led down to it. The home itself was small, but modern for the most part, and a bit westernized. In truth, when looking at the home and the area, Haruka had nothing to complain about. Even the weather had been perfect throughout her stay. The only things that made her nervous were the strange occurrences at night. She would wake up with small scratch marks on her arms, hear odd noises just outside, and even find things broken. Now being logical, she brushed it all off as her imagination, but just this evening, she was greeted by more than just scratches or sounds.
Just walking up the steps to her house after working into the evening, Haruka notices a strange figure out of the corner of her eye. Upon closer inspection, they looked close to human, but when the creature faced her, it had no face at all, only a mouth and it's entire body was pitch black. In a panic, Haruka ran to the house and shut herself up inside, heart racing within her chest. Never had she seen anything like that. Maybe the villagers were right after all...
Being curious as ever, the girl ended up asking around the village just a mile off where she worked. Nearly every person she asked knew exactly what she was talking about, claiming that angered spirits roamed the area. They spoke of a shrine that sat upon the hill where she lived, nearly a hundred years ago. The only way to calm them is to build another shrine, but nobody wants to put in the effort and no one is willing to be the priest or priestess within the shrine.
At first, they all sounded crazy, but after running into the dark spirit, Haruka felt that every word of it was true. She wanted nothing more than to do something about it too. If she could ease these spirits somehow, as insane as that sounded, then maybe she could go back to her normal life. Unsure of how to do such a thing, Haruka knelt down on her futon and did the only thing she could; pray. It may not change anything, but it might help her sleep, so in a soft voice, she prayed out loud.
"Please, please ease these unsettled spirits. Send something that may calm them, someone that might calm them. Bring the shrine back if you must, please, anything to put them at ease."
It wasn't much of a prayer, but Haruka had never really prayed like that before. No matter. Now that she'd put that off her chest, she could finally relax. The petite girl rested her head on the pillow and pulled her blanket up over her shoulders after turning out the lights. In no time at all, sleep came for her and unlike the other nights she spent in this little home, nothing awoke her from her slumber.

Sent you a PM.

All pm'd~
I'm still in the market for some new roleplays at the moment, and was hoping to find a few willing to start up a few with me. I don't want to scare you away with a wall of explanation, so simply put, I'm looking for a literate roleplayer, who can add to a plot, and play the male role in a MxF pairing. As far as length, I'd prefer if my partner can give me at least two paragraphs, because usually less than that is not enough description and text to keep me interested. I want to see your character's thoughts and emotions as well as actions. Now, that being said, I'm not too much of a grammar Nazi, everyone makes mistakes every now and then.
Also, I like when my partner is willing to talk with me, give me feedback and ideas to move the plot along. Don't be a stranger. ^^
At the moment, I only have a few plots to go off of at the moment, but I'll just put out the pairings that I'm willing to try. If one of them catches your eye, feel free to post here or PM me. I'm always up for brainstorming with my partner on a plot.~
(The first role in the pairing is the character that you will play)
Neko x Human
Human x Neko
Inu x Neko
Vampire x Human
Demon x Demon Hunter
Boy x Girl(High School Setting/Slice of Life)
Angel x Human
Djinn x Princess
Werewolf x Human
Assassin x Ninja
Samurai x Princess
Yokai x Shrine Maiden
Knight x Modern Girl
